Shelly (Japanese: イズミ Izumi) is one of the Admins of Team Aqua.
In the core series games
Shelly plays a key role in the main story in Pokémon Sapphire and its remake Pokémon Alpha Sapphire as an Admin of Team Aqua. Her appearances in the corresponding games Ruby and Omega Ruby are limited to minor appearances, as Team Magma serves as the main villains of these games.
In Sapphire, Shelly is first encountered at the Weather Institute, attempting to steal a Castform. She is later seen alongside Archie at Slateport City when Team Aqua steals the Submarine Explorer 1. In the Seafloor Cavern, she must be battled before the player can reach Archie. In Ruby, Courtney fulfills the same role.
In Pokémon Emerald, despite both villainous teams serving as main antagonists of the story, Shelly's role is very similar to the one she plays in Sapphire, encountering the player at the Weather Institute and Seafloor Cavern.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Shelly is redesigned and given a backstory. It is revealed that she used to work for Devon Corporation, which helped Team Aqua gain access to their research. She is considered to be the brains of Team Aqua. Her intelligence as well as her blunt personality and dynamism has won her many fans among Team Aqua members.[3]
In Alpha Sapphire, Shelly is more involved in the plot than in Sapphire. She is first encountered at Meteor Falls, stealing the Meteorite from Professor Cozmo and confronting the player and Brendan/May in a Multi Battle before escaping. She is later battled on Mt. Chimney before the player can reach Archie. She appears again at the Weather Institute, where she examines records of Primal Kyogre's past activities and discovers that the extreme weather patterns it creates are not what Archie desires. At Seafloor Cavern, she tries to convince Archie not to awaken Kyogre but is unsuccessful. Afterwards, she follows Archie to Sootopolis City.
In the Delta Episode, Shelly is encountered at the Team Aqua Hideout when Zinnia defeats Archie and takes his Key Stone. Shelly then gives Archie's Sharpedonite to the player upon Archie's instructions, as he no longer has a Key Stone to Mega Evolve.
In Omega Ruby's postgame, she is encountered briefly at the Battle Resort alongside Archie and Matt, while her main story role is fulfilled by Magma Admin Tabitha.

In the anime
Main series
Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire
Although the Generation III games show there to be at least two Aqua Admins, only Shelly ever appeared in the anime. Her first appearance was in A Three Team Scheme!, where she led a group of Team Aqua Grunts on a mission to intercept Team Magma, who were exploring some ancient ruins on Dewford Island in search of the Cave of Origin. Due to a dubbing error, she was mistakenly referred to as "Tactical Commander Isabel" during this episode, though her name was corrected in all subsequent appearances.
In Fight for the Meteorite!, Shelly led a squad of grunts on a mission to Mt. Chimney, to try to steal a meteorite from Professor Cozmo before Team Magma could do so. Though they did not obtain the meteorite, Shelly still considered the mission a success, since the meteorite was destroyed and therefore Team Magma could not use it either.
In Unfair Weather Friends, Shelly and a group of grunts took the staff of the Weather Institute hostage in order to obtain their data on Groudon and Kyogre. However, their plans were thwarted by Magma agent Brodie, who made off with the data himself.
Shelly's final appearance was in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends. She sneaked onto Team Magma's base disguised as a Team Magma Grunt and freed Kyogre from the cargo container, allowing Team Aqua to control it with the Red Orb. She was present during the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, and like the rest of Team Aqua, has not been seen since.
Character
Shelly was faithful towards Team Aqua's cause, though this came into doubt after witnessing Archie's greed in The Scuffle of Legends. She and Tabitha have a rivalry with one another, often exchanging insults and battling one another. Shelly also has a tactical approach, often calling for a retreat whenever missions seemed to be going awry.

Pokémon Generations
Shelly made an appearance in The Cavern. She was first seen at the Seafloor Cavern, trying to prevent Archie from using the Blue Orb on Kyogre. She explained that her research at the Weather Institute during Team Aqua's takeover had led her to discover that Primal Kyogre's power would only end up destroying the world, instead of improving it. She was, however, unable to stop Archie from awakening the super-ancient Pokémon. She was last seen on board the Submarine Explorer 1 with Archie, being attacked by Primal Kyogre.

In the manga
Ash & Pikachu
Shelly appeared in Two Groups Attacking! Magma VS. Aqua along with the other members of Team Aqua.
Pokémon Adventures
In Pokémon Adventures, there are two Admins with the name "Shelly".
First Shelly
The first Shelly debuts in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. She first appears as a Team Aqua Grunt alongside Matt and Amber. The three were tasked with stealing the heart component of the Submarine Explorer 1 from Mr. Stone. When Sapphire unintentionally thwarted their original plan to discreetly kidnap Mr. Stone, the three switched to a new plan and directly attacked Mr. Stone in public and stole the component. Sapphire, Gabby, and Ty chased after the three and eventually arrived in Petalburg Woods, where they were attacked by Shelly, Matt, and Amber in order to ensure that no witnesses to their crime would be left alive. With the help of Mr. Stone's Castform, Sapphire manages to defeat the three, but is unable to retrieve the heart component.
Later, Shelly, Matt, and Amber are given promotions from Archie due to their good work. With this promotion, they are given the title Subleaders of the Sea Scheme, or SSS for short. Archie is quick to remind his subordinates that they are still in trouble for leaving the witnesses alive.
The SSS travel to Mt. Chimney so that they can increase the sea level by stopping the volcano's activity. By pretending to be on the side of good, Shelly tricks Professor Cozmo into providing a special Meteorite that can stop Mt. Chimney. When they overhear Gym Leader Flannery talking about Sapphire, the SSS attack her in order to get information about their earlier opponent. Flannery is held captive by Matt so that he may lure Sapphire into a trap and kill her while the others finish their jobs. While Matt battles Sapphire, Shelly continues her task of sweet-talking Professor Cozmo as an act to get his trust. Sapphire manages to defeat Matt and rushes over to stop Team Aqua's plans, but Amber manages to stall her long enough for Shelly to kill Mt. Chimney. With their plan succeeded, Team Aqua escapes and takes Professor Cozmo with them.
When Kyogre and Groudon are awakened, the Gym Leaders split into groups in an attempt to stop both Pokémon. In order to prevent their opponents from keeping Kyogre from advancing, each of the SSS splits up and attacks a Gym Leader. Shelly's opponent is Flannery, who still holds a grudge for what Team Aqua did to Mt. Chimney. With her Ludicolo's Nature Power, Shelly holds the advantage with a variety of unpredictable attacks. In the end, Flannery is defeated, but her Vulpix managed to seal Ludicolo's Nature Power with Grudge, leaving Shelly with no way to attack. Shelly decides to escape since she managed to stall the Gym Leaders long enough for Kyogre to advance without any more obstructions.
In the Chuang Yi translations, she is known as Angie.
Pokémon
Debut | Lombre Larceny |
---|
Ludicolo first appeared as a Lombre, being used to attack Mr. Stone to steal the Submarine Explorer 1's heart component. When Sapphire, Gabby, and Ty, chased after her, Shelly used her to kill the witnesses to their crimes. During the battle, Shelly gave Lombre a Water Stone, evolving her into a Ludicolo and giving her more power. Her was defeated by Chic after being powered up by Mr. Stone's Castform. Later, when Shelly attacked the Gym Leaders to prevent them from stopping Kyogre, Ludicolo faced Flannery's Vulpix. With her Nature Power that uses the power of nature to create a variety of attacks, Ludicolo easily had the advantage. Eventually, she won, but Vulpix used Grudge to seal Nature Power, forcing Shelly to retreat.
Ludicolo's only known move is Nature Power.
Ludicolo has also used Razor Leaf and Earthquake via Nature Power.
Shelly owns two Vibrava. One is used mainly for flight transportation. The other was seen helping Professor Cozmo into the air.
Vibrava's only known move is Fly*, and its Ability is Levitate.
Given away
Shelly gave this Nincada to Amber after his Pokémon were left behind in the Seafloor Cavern.
None of Nincada's moves are known, and its Ability is Compoundeyes.
Second Shelly
In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, a second Shelly appeared as a member of Neo Team Aqua (Japanese: 新生アクア団 Neo Aqua Gang). She, along with a second Matt, took the name of her predecessor as a codename. She and the second Tabitha were former researchers for the Devon Corporation, but eventually left due to being fed up with Mr. Stone's policies.
In Kyogre Returns, Shelly appeared at Mossdeep City to help Zinnia interfere with the Devon Corporation's plan to launch a rocket that would stop the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world. The Admins kept Sapphire distracted long enough for Zinnia to land on the rocket. Sapphire dodged their attacks, allowing her to escape and pursue Zinnia.
In PS612, the Admins were attacked by the Hoenn Frontier Brains and defeated. The Brains attempted to interrogate the Admins on Zinnia's whereabouts, only for them to admit they had no idea where she ran off to. In PS616, Shelly and Tabitha were called to Sootopolis City to assist in saving the planet from destruction. Shelly provided Sapphire with an Aqua Suit to wear while she and Ruby rode Rayquaza into space to confront the meteoroid.

Trivia
- Shelly, like Tabitha, has been the subject of two name changes over two different mediums: Isabel in the anime and Angie in the Chuang Yi translation of Pokémon Adventures.
