 Noland debuts in the {{chap|Emerald}}. He is one of the seven Trainers hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the Battle Frontier. Noland is first watching the Battle Frontier's opening ceremony. The ceremony is interrupted by {{adv|Emerald}}, who announces that he wishes to conquer the Battle Frontier. The press mistakenly report the incident as allowing an ordinary Trainer to take part in the Battle Frontier before it officially opens a week later. The Frontier Brains decide to use this assumption as free publicity and allow Emerald to challenge the Battle Frontier under the condition that he completes it before it officially opens. Noland, having found Emerald's stunt insulting, decides that he will be the boy's first opponent. The next day, Emerald begins his challenge of the Battle Factory. After Emerald finishes the proper number of sets, he and Noland begin their battle. Despite Noland's powerful team and type advantages, he is eventually defeated, which earns Emerald the Knowledge Symbol.
-The next day, Noland begins investigating the rental Pokémon listed at the Battle Factory. He notes that the total number of Pokémon doesn't match up with previous numbers and the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} Emerald used to defeat him isn't listed anywhere. He suspects that someone must have broken in and smuggled some Pokémon into the rental Pokémon list, but before he can reach a conclusion, Noland is knocked out by the armored man, [[Guile Hideout]]. Noland is taken to a hospital, where the other Frontiers gather and suspect Emerald to be the culprit. They confront Emerald about the situation after he conquered the Battle Pyramid. Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}}. The Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into [[Artisan Cave]], where Jirachi is currently located at. There, they encounter Jirachi, but are attacked by Guile, who is also after Jirachi. Guile attacks the group with rental Pokémon he stole from the Battle Factory. Jirachi eventually escapes, forcing Guile to run away and continue his pursuit. Injured from the battle, everyone decides to return to the Battle Frontier.

The six Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into [[Artisan Cave]] to find Jirachi. They leave the cave after suffering injuries from a run-in with Guile Hideout himself.
-After Emerald defeats Greta, Noland appears to everyone, revealing that he snuck out of the hospital because he couldn't stand lying in bed doing nothing. He asks Scott for the Jirachi Report so that he could translate it to find out where Jirachi will appear next. That night, Brandon comes in to assist Noland in deciphering the rest of the Jirachi Report. Together, they realize that Jirachi has a third eye, which must be looked at in order for Jirachi to grant someone's wish.
+Scott lets Emerald challenge Greta at her facility directly, then holds a crunch meeting with the other five Frontier Brains.

 The next day, Noland assists the other Frontier Brains in ushering people to the Battle Dome. Noland reveals the he captured three Smeargle from the Artisan Cave that copied Jirachi's {{m|Wish}} with {{m|Sketch}}. Noland plans on using the Smeargle's Wish to attract Jirachi, allowing them to capture it before Guile. The plan doesn't work as Guile discovers Jirachi first after it appears over the top of the Battle Dome and captures it. Guile uses the rental Pokémon to the attack innocent bystanders and heads to the Battle Tower to make his wish. The other Frontier Brains stay behind to help everyone while Noland heads off to inform Spenser and Anabel about the situation. Although he gets to Spenser, Noland is unable to get in contact with Anabel. After meeting up with Emerald, {{adv|Ruby}}, and {{adv|Sapphire}}, the three head to the Battle Tower.
