Briar first appears after the Treasure Hunt main story starts.

While waiting for her request to enter Area Zero to be approved, she leads the player and several other students on a class trip to Kitakami.
During The Teal Mask story, Briar does research on the land while Carmine, Kieran, the player, and other students explore Kitakami. Briar appears at Crystal Pool after the player and Carmine defeats a Milotic. She explains that the crystals found in Kitakami emit energy similar to Terastal energy found in Paldea.
