He | Shamus first appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice]]'', though much of his features were not revealed. He appeared in person in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where he was having a [[Double Battle]] with [[Kylan]] in the [[Battle Club]], using {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}}; {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} witnessed that battle. Due to his preference for {{type|Fire}}s, he refers to himself and his [[party|team]] as the "Fire Warriors". He won the Double Battle rather easily. Afterwards, he confronted Kylan and told him to hand his over Pokémon to him, causing Ash and the others to confront him briefly. He ultimately did not take Kylan's Pokémon because of [[Don George]] walking by at the time. | ||

While having lunch alone, Ash's {{p|Tepig}} saw Shamus and ran up to him affectionately. It was revealed that Shamus abandoned Tepig after it lost to a {{p|Deerling}} in a battle, despite having the type advantage. Since Tepig kept trying to go with him, he tied it to a post. Seeing Tepig with Ash, he told Ash that he abandoned it because of its uselessness, which struck a nerve with Ash. While Ash and Iris found this to be cruel, he defended his actions and explained that it was done for Tepig's own good, because forcing a "talentless" Pokémon to battle would be worse than releasing it. | While having lunch alone, Ash's {{p|Tepig}} saw Shamus and ran up to him affectionately.

To settle the matter, Don George recommended that Shamus and Ash battle each other, and both agreed to be a [[Double Battle]]. Ash decided to use Tepig and {{AP|Snivy}}, but Tepig did not wish to battle against his former Trainer. He had the impression that Shamus still cared for it and only released it because he cared for it.

Ash decided to use Tepig and {{AP|Snivy}}, but Tepig did not wish to battle against his former Trainer. He had the impression that Shamus still cared for it and only released it because he cared for it. However, Shamus revealed that he would only pretend to be pained from releasing a weak Pokémon. This was so that if he ever encountered them again, they would be hesitant to battle him. This revelation left Tepig crushed. | ||
Although Snivy ended up being defeated by a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Tepig managed to persist in the battle and [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{AP|Pignite}} in the process. Using its new attack, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, as well as a powerful {{m|Flame Charge}}, he was able to defeat both of his opponents. Impressed by Pignite's new power, Shamus asked it to come back to him, explaining that it could not forget about him. Pignite simply responded by scorching his head with {{m|Flamethrower}}, before walking over to where Ash was and standing proudly beside him, having decided to stay with him. | Although Snivy ended up being defeated by a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Tepig managed to persist in the battle and [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{AP|Pignite}} in the process.
