Falkner properly introduces himself in ''[[PS099|Sunkern Treasure]]'' when they meet once again. He is revealed not yet to be the {{ci|Violet}} [[Gym Leader]], but is training his team in attempt to acquire the position his father (the previous Gym Leader) left behind mysteriously; this is Falkner's dream. {{p|Skarmory}}, a foe Falkner says he's encountered before, then attacks the duo, having been said to be terrorizing the area and is currently attacking herds of {{p|Sunkern}}. Falkner sends {{p|Noctowl}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} to attack it, but notes they aren't delivering much damage. Gold helps Falkner by sending out his freshly caught {{p|Sunkern|Sunbo}} to bounce [[Exbo]] into range of the Skarmory, dealing a heavy blow using {{m|Ember}}. Falkner then catches it, adding it to his team, and invites Gold to train with him. Gold declines the offer, as he has Silver to catch, but they makes plans to meet later once their objectives are met. In this chapter, {{adv|Bill}} is also on his way to find Falkner, to tell him a date for his Gym Leader qualification exam has been set. In ''[[PS104|The Ariados up There]]'', it is revealed Falkner passed the [[Gym Leader]] exam.

During ''[[PS137|Really Raikou & Entirely Entei I]]'' and ''[[PS138|II]]'', Falkner is out training Skarmory and Noctowl when he comes across a {{tc|Bird Keeper}} poaching. A rainstorm suddenly begins, caused by {{p|Raikou}}'s presence. {{p|Entei}} is also there, and Falkner is forced to save the Bird Keeper from being attacked by the duo, escaping on Skarmory. As they {{m|fly}}, the pair of Beasts give chase, and Falkner considers {{p|Suicune}}'s recent activity challenging Gym Leaders, and deduces the other two are doing the same. He issues a challenge to them, using Skarmory. Raikou and Entei attack two-on-one, pinning them between {{t|fire}} and {{t|Electric|electricity}}. Once they attack at the same time, however, Skarmory uses {{m|Agility}} to dodge as {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} collide and cancels each other out. Falkner attempts capturing both, but Suicune appears to prevent the Poké Balls from operating with {{m|BubbleBeam}}.

The Bird Keeper suggests escaping, but Falkner isn't interested, instead turning to attack Suicune, who shatters Skarmory's wing. In one last attempt, Falkner tries to capture Suicune, but Raikou and Entei return the previous favor by destroying the Poké Balls. Skarmory begins to plummet to earth. However, Suicune saves the three of them, before the Beast trio flee. With their escape, Falkner laments on how he wouldn't have defeated Raikou and Entei even without Suicune's interference, and formally arrests the Bird Keeper under suspicion of poaching.

Later, when the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Falkner and the other Gym Leaders battle his army of mind controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. They battle the Grunts on the [[Magnet Train]] and eventually manage to defeat them as they return to the stadium. After the defeat of the Masked Man, Falkner and the other Gym Leaders go back into their usual duties.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} Falkner, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, [[Chuck]] and [[Bugsy]], are seen guarding the [[Ecruteak Gym]] due to a large amount of people coming there requesting the use of [[Morty]]'s clairvoyance. They are confronted by {{adv|Silver}} who had arrived to ask for Morty's assistance and try to stop him. When he refuses to let them stop him, Silver attacks them and quickly knocks out their Pokémon. Eventually, they stop battling after it is revealed that Silver was supposed to meet Morty anyway; Falkner then takes him to Morty inside of the Gym.
