When Dawn and Brock arrived at the store, the receptionist told them that Lila wasn't there and would spend the whole day off, much to Dawn's disappointment.
When Dawn entered the Celestic Town [[Pokémon Contest]], it turned our that Lila was spending her day off by returning to her old Coordinator role. Dawn and Lila both made to the finals, while [[Jessie|Jessilina]] was eliminated at the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]]. Despite Lila's {{p|Delcatty}}'s {{a|Cute Charm}} hampering [[Dawn's Ambipom]]'s ability to fight, Dawn was ultimately able to defeat her mother's rival and earn the Celestic [[Ribbon]] for herself, making it her third Ribbon overall. Afterwards, Lila allowed Dawn to pick out clothes and [[Accessory|Accessories]] from her store free of charge.
In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', Ash and his friend visited the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]], where they, together with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Professor Carolina]], and [[Officer Jenny]]'s police officers, tried to stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the Lustrous Orb. However, they were unsuccessful, and in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', the [[villainous team]] left the town with two of the [[Pokémon of Myth orbs]] in their possession. The group also met [[Cyrus]] during their visit to the research center, but due to him posing as a businessman, they were unaware of his status as Team Galactic's leader.
Later, at the [[Contest Hall]], Dawn discovered that Lila took the day off to compete in the Celestic {{pkmn|Contest}}. In the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], Lila impressed the [[Contest Judge]]s by showing off the unique characteristics of her {{p|Cherrim}}. Dawn also did a good job in the round, having {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} creating an ice sculpture to slide on. [[Jessie|Jessilina]], however, failed to make the cut and was knocked out of the competition. In the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], Dawn and Lila both defeated their first two opponents and reached the finals. Dawn had some problems at the beginning as Lila's {{p|Delcatty}}'s {{m|Sing}} and {{a|Cute Charm}} were preventing her {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} from battling properly, but in the end she managed to defeat her mother's childhood [[rival]] and win the coveted Celestic [[Ribbon]], her third Contest Ribbon overall. After the Celestic Contest, Lila took the group to her store and allowed them to pick out outfits and [[Accessory|Accessories]] free of charge.

Celestic Town (Japanese: カンナギタウンKannagi Town) is a town in the Sinnohregion. It is a tiny town that preserves the history of Sinnoh and the old ways of life. The center of town has a small shrine that dates back to ancient times. It is one of the smallest towns in the entire region. It is also one of the oldest, and some say the town has been there since Sinnoh was created. It is the hometown of Cynthia's family and of KalosElite Four member Drasna's grandparents.
Inside a cave, in the center of the town, are etchings telling the legend of Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. However, in the anime, it was shown to be like actual ruins, with pillars and a temple-like structure. Found inside is a fresco involving the lake guardians.
In Pokémon Platinum, an event is unlocked here after the Stark Mountain storyline is completed. When the painting at the rear of the ruins is examined, Cynthia will appear and give her theory to the painting's meaning.
An identical fresco can be found in Mount Coronet, blocking the path to the Spear Pillar. It is destroyed by Team Galactic after the player has freed the lake guardians at their HQ.

Ash and his friends arrived in Celestic in Battling The Generation Gap!. {{an|Dawn]] was eager to visit the fashion store belonging to Lila, a renowned Pokémon Stylist and a former Pokémon Coordinator who had once been her mother's rival and broken her winning streak. Ash, however, was with his mind set on finding a way to counter Fantina's Pokémon's Hypnosis and decided to train for his upcoming Gymbattle with her instead. When Dawn and Brock arrived at Lila's store, the receptionist told them that Lila was having the whole day off, much to Dawn's disappointment.
When Dawn entered the Celestic Town Pokémon Contest, it turned our that Lila was spending her day off by returning to her old Coordinator role. Dawn and Lila both made to the finals, while Jessilina was eliminated at the Performance Stage. Despite Lila's Delcatty's Cute Charm hampering Dawn's Ambipom's ability to fight, Dawn was ultimately able to defeat her mother's rival and earn the Celestic Ribbon for herself, making it her third Ribbon overall. Afterwards, Lila allowed Dawn to pick out clothes and Accessories from her store free of charge.
Mitsumi and Hareta visited Celestic Town in Dialga's Secret Keys to learn more about Dialga and to deliver the Old Charm to Cynthia's grandmother, the town elder. They found her arguing with Team Galactic's B-2, who had also come to investigate. When B-2 got fed up with her stubbornness, he started the countdown on a bomb planted in the ruins out of spite. Hareta and his Piplup managed to keep the explosion from harming the town and its surroundings, and the Old Charm was successfully delivered. As thanks, the elder told Hareta and Mitsumi about Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie, as well as their connection to Dialga. They were then interrupted by Cyrus, who had been eavesdropping along with Jupiter and Saturn, and Mitsumi informed Hareta that Cyrus is the leader of Team Galactic.
In Team Galactic's Conspiracy, Revealed!!, Cyrus told Hareta and Mitsumi of his plan to take Dialga's power before leaving town, and Mitsumi challenged Jupiter and Saturn so that Hareta could pursue him. Her battle's ending was seen in the beginning of Challenge! The Fortress of Steel!!, in which Jun and Professor Rowan arrived to help, only for Jupiter and Saturn to withdraw.
