==In the manga==
:''"I don't understand!"''
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Dulse Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Dulse in Pokémon Adventures]]
Dulse debuted in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]''. He and [[Zossie]] arrived at the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] after [[Ultra Warp Ride|riding]] on {{p|Lunala}}. Dulse had just left the [[Alola]] region after meeting with the [[Aether Foundation]] to create [[Beast Ball|Poké Balls]] that could capture [[Ultra Beast]]s. Overhearing this fact, {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}} approached the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] members and asked what their connection to the Aether Foundation was. After explaining themselves, Dulse and Zossie were asked by Moon if they could take her and Sun back to Alola. Though Dulse refused, Lunala went to Sun and Moon, as it was already acquainted with them. Having no choice, Dulse allowed Zossie to go with Sun and Moon to Alola while he stayed behind. Dulse attempted to call [[Phyco]] and tell him about losing Lunala, but he was only able to get in contact with [[Soliera]].


* After being defeated:
Later, during its battle with {{p|Zygarde}}, {{p|Necrozma}} summoned Dulse from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] and pulled him towards its back. By absorbing the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] Dulse had in his possession, Necrozma was able to transform into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma}}. The Ultra Recon Squad decided the best option to deal with Necrozma was to capture it, but they had no available Beast Balls due to Lusamine's meddling. [[Nanu]] revealed he could have another Beast Ball delivered, but told Sun and Zygarde to keep Necrozma busy while the waited for it to arrive.
:''"I see... So that is a Pokémon battle... We had tried to investigate what it meant to battle with Pokémon, but it is quite different when you do it yourself. At least it seems that the Poké Ball we tried to create has worked properly to capture us a Pokémon here in Alola. And I have seen for myself how strong you are, young Alolan Trainer."''
:''"Trainer, you should know that this one here warps away if it is threatened in any way... And the holes that are torn open as a result invite dangerous beings into this world. But perhaps things will be all right as long as there are Trainers like you in Alola..."''
:''"That girl should have nothing to do with our investigations, nor this Pokémon of hers... as long as no one is foolish enough to open a path that could lead here from Megalo Tower. Let us carry on, Zossie."''


;[[Paniola Ranch]]
Later, after Moon had joined in, Necrozma was finally taken down by a combined attack from Zygarde, Lunala, and {{p|Solgaleo}}. [[Anabel]] arrived with the final Beast Ball, only for it to be destroyed when Necrozma managed to launch one final attack. Sun revealed he picked up the Beast Ball Moon tried using on Lusamine earlier. Anabel gave the final Beast Ball to Zossie, who captured Necrozma in the hopes that the Ultra Recon Squad could potentially heal its injured state.
:''"Calm yourself, Zossie. Those must have been the Pokémon known as Sudowoodo. A most interesting Pokémon. I wish I could research them further. They must be mimicking plant life in an attempt to avoid their weakness—water."''
:''"These Alolan Pokémon...  They're all so unique. It's truly fascinating... But battling them is not easy."''
:''"So I challenge you with one we are accustomed to...Poipole!"''


* Upon being defeated:
Several months later, Dulse used Solgaleo to transport [[Gladion]] through Ultra Space so he could rescue [[Faba]], who had been dragged there by a group of {{p|Nihilego}}. [[Ryuki]] also chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.
:''"So I have failed to understand Poipole!"''


* After being defeated:

Dulse in Pokémon Adventures

Dulse debuted in Adventure in the Dark Dimension. He and Zossie arrived at the Ultra Deep Sea after riding on Lunala. Dulse had just left the Alola region after meeting with the Aether Foundation to create Poké Balls that could capture Ultra Beasts. Overhearing this fact, Sun and Moon approached the Ultra Recon Squad members and asked what their connection to the Aether Foundation was. After explaining themselves, Dulse and Zossie were asked by Moon if they could take her and Sun back to Alola. Though Dulse refused, Lunala went to Sun and Moon, as it was already acquainted with them. Having no choice, Dulse allowed Zossie to go with Sun and Moon to Alola while he stayed behind. Dulse attempted to call Phyco and tell him about losing Lunala, but he was only able to get in contact with Soliera.

Later, during its battle with Zygarde, Necrozma summoned Dulse from an Ultra Wormhole and pulled him towards its back. By absorbing the Ultranecrozium Z Dulse had in his possession, Necrozma was able to transform into Ultra Necrozma. The Ultra Recon Squad decided the best option to deal with Necrozma was to capture it, but they had no available Beast Balls due to Lusamine's meddling. Nanu revealed he could have another Beast Ball delivered, but told Sun and Zygarde to keep Necrozma busy while the waited for it to arrive.

Later, after Moon had joined in, Necrozma was finally taken down by a combined attack from Zygarde, Lunala, and Solgaleo. Anabel arrived with the final Beast Ball, only for it to be destroyed when Necrozma managed to launch one final attack. Sun revealed he picked up the Beast Ball Moon tried using on Lusamine earlier. Anabel gave the final Beast Ball to Zossie, who captured Necrozma in the hopes that the Ultra Recon Squad could potentially heal its injured state.

Several months later, Dulse used Solgaleo to transport Gladion through Ultra Space so he could rescue Faba, who had been dragged there by a group of Nihilego. Ryuki also chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.
