I'd be better off if everyone just left me alone.

Spoiler warning! |
| This article contains plot details about events that occur later in the game. |
Aya is first met at Wasteland Hideout right after Fern finishes his gym battle. Hardy also makes a visit to the gym in order to welcome Aya to the the job as gym leader. While Fern picks on Aya for being pathetic and weak, Hardy defends Aya and tries to give her self-esteem. During this conversation, it's noticeable that Aya is not interested nor glad to be the gym leader due to having the job dumped on her as Cain ran away from home. After the players beats Aya, she willingly gives the player the badge while Hardy still tries to cheer her up.
After beating Luna, Cain and the player enter Agate City where all seems barren. Cain spots Aya and Hardy sleeping in the center of town, with Cain starting to feel tired as well. Out of nowhere, Terra rescues the player, Cain, and a sleeping Aya and Hardy. Terra uses her giant hammer to hit Aya and Hardy towards the direction of Agate City, while guiding Cain and the player to Agate Circus.
While Hardy lands further ahead, Aya lands in the middle of the circus and is brought into the back room of the tent. Once she awakens, she's greeted by Cain, who although was the reason she was forced to take the job as the Poison-type gym leader, doesn't show any anger towards. Instead, Aya insists on finding out where Hardy landed. Talking to Aya or Cain after the discussion further shows that even though Cain ran away and left her with the gym, Aya doesn't show any resentment towards Cain. Rather, she is somewhat thankful as she was able to meet Hardy.
After Terra says that the PULSE which has the city in a sleeping curse is located on top of Ametrine Mountain, Hardy, Aya, and Cain decide to head towards Calcenon City to help the other gym leaders help fend off against Team Meteor while the player will head to Ametrine City.
While the player heads towards Ametrine City, they find Aya, Cain, and Hardy looking at an enormous ice blockage in the path, being unable to break through it (Which is later discovered to be a PULSE Avalugg). With Ametrine City being trapped at the top of the mountain without supplies, the group proposes treading to Calcenon City to get help. Before climbing the stairs to enter Calcenon City, the stairs are destroyed by a stray shot from a PULSE Clawitzer. Saphira, who is currently trying to combat the PULSE, meets up with the group on her Dragonite and tells them to enter through the eastern entrance. As the group is traveling, the bridge is destroyed by a stray shot from the PULSE Clawitzer, splitting the group up and allowing the player and Aya to team up.
While making their way towards Calcenon, the player and Aya will travel through caves and encountering Team Meteor members along the way. Eventually, they will reach the room where the PULSE Clawitzer is being by Aster and Eclipse. After defeating them, Eclipse willingly turns off the machine and decides to quit Team Meteor. However, this statement is short lived as Solaris kills her with his Chandelure. As he turns to kill the player, Aya pushes the player out of the way to safety. Instead of killing Aya, Solaris decides to take her as a hostage and leaves with Aster.
Aya is later seen behind Team Meteor's barrier in Calcenon City being dragged around by Sirius and using her to bargain for the Ruby Ring.

| A special report from... the Investigation Squad!
Yo, Reborn City! What's up?! We're here with the Reborn Rundown giving you a look at the leaders of the Reborn League! I'm your host, DJ Arclight, now on air! Today we're looking at Reborn's newest Leader, the poison-packing Aya! A new star on the scene, Aya replaces former Beryl Ward Leader Corey, after receiving the title reserve leader from her family. My sources tell me that Aya, who lives in the Byxbysion Wasteland, favors double battles. And uses her signature move to throw all putrid power of poison across the field at once. Take care, or you really will be wasted! Of course, none carries this task better than her Dragagle. It's Adaptability skill makes any hit sting, so KO that 'mon ASAP. That's all for now, but remember, Trainers, Keep fighting with everything you've got! Hold your spirits high, and even you can defeat the Reborn League! |
