Spenser made his debut appearance in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. He is a kind old man who specializes in herbal medicines, healing [[Ash's Sceptile]] when it apparently lost its fighting skills. While he usually rides on his {{TP|Spenser|Venusaur}}, he has a lot of stamina which is shown in {{pkmn|battle}}. Spenser uses the whole of the island he lives on as a battlefield and so battles have an emphasis on nature and include a lot of running around.

In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', Spenser used a {{TP|Spenser|Venusaur}}, {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Claydol}} in his battle against {{Ash}}, who used his {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Heracross}}, and {{AP|Sceptile}}. After having a heated battle, Spenser eventually lost due to Sceptile learning and using {{m|SolarBeam}}. Spenser made an appearance in a flashback in ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day]]'' and another flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage]]'' along with {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}, {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}, {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}, {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, and {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}.

|desc=Spenser's {{p|Venusaur}} was the second Pokémon chosen by Spenser to go against Ash. It managed to defeat [[Ash's Heracross]], but finally lost to {{AP|Swellow}}.}}

|desc=Spenser's {{p|Chansey}} was used to heal the wounds of Ash's Sceptile.

|desc={{p|Shiftry}} first appeared in ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', where it was the first Pokémon to be sent against Ash, while he chose {{AP|Sceptile}}. Before using any move, Shiftry dodged the {{m|Bullet Seed}} from Sceptile and was told to move to the jungle. It had immense speed, but Sceptile was just as fast, as it followed close behind. After the two Grass types reached a small waterfall, both continued their duel. Shiftry managed to push Sceptile into the pool of water, then used {{m|Rock Smash}} to send rocks down into the pool. However, Sceptile escaped up through the waterfall and landed a hit on Shiftry, knocking it out, and winning Ash the first victory.

|desc={{p|Claydol}} appeared in the episode ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', where it was the third Pokémon to be sent out against Ash. Claydol had to face Ash's {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Sceptile}} before being defeated by Sceptile's newly learned {{m|SolarBeam}}. Claydol is the powerhouse of Spenser's team.

Spenser debuts in the {{chap|Emerald}}. He is one of the seven Trainers hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the Battle Frontier. Spenser is first seen at the Frontier's opening ceremony, where he participates in a demonstration battle alongside Lucy. Though the battle ends in an easy victory, 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.

Later, while Emerald is challenging the Battle Pyramid, Noland is attacked by an unknown assailant and several rental Pokémon are stolen. After Noland is taken to a hospital, the other Frontier Brains begin to suspect Emerald as the culprit. They head to the Battle Pyramid to confront Emerald and find him after having defeated Brandon. When they ask him about what happened, 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. Upon arriving, everyone is attacked by a horde of wild {{p|Smeargle}} while Emerald continues inside to find Jirachi. After the Frontier Brains get past the Smeargle, they meet up with Emerald, who has managed to find Jirachi. Emerald attempts to capture Jirachi, but is attacked by [[Guile Hideout]], the actual culprit who attacked Noland. When Jirachi runs off, Emerald attempts to pursue it, only to be attacked by the rental Pokémon Guile had stolen. Spenser, Brandon, Lucy, and Tucker all try to attack Guile to avenge Noland, but are easily defeated. Eventually, Jirachi escapes, forcing Guile to leave to continue his pursuit of it. Injured from the battle, everyone decides to return to the Battle Frontier. When they meet up with Scott again, he reveals that he was aware of Guile and Emerald's true mission the entire time. Scott states that he withheld the information from the Frontier Brains to help them get stronger as they still would have lost even if they had known of Guile beforehand.

The next day, Spenser encounters {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} near the Battle Palace while Emerald challenges the Battle Dome. Spenser confronts Sapphire and reveals that he is able to tell that she came in contact with the {{DL|Colored orbs|Blue Orb}} in the past. The two Pokédex holders find Spenser's actions strange and leave to try and investigate. Shortly afterward, Emerald arrives to challenge the Battle Palace after losing to Tucker. Spenser agrees and decides to battle Emerald immediately without going through the usual sets of virtual Trainers. They are interrupted by a phone call, which is the others informing Spenser that Guile managed to captured Jirachi and is heading to the Battle Tower to make his wish. Emerald decides to head off to the Battle Tower and leaves his Pokémon behind to win the Spirits Symbol for him.

At the Battle Tower, Emerald battles Guile, but his spare Pokémon are defeated. {{p|Latios}} arrives and presents Emerald with his team and the Spirits Symbol they managed to win. Using his ability to share his sight with {{p|Latias}}, Latios relays a message from Spenser, who is still at the Battle Palace. Spenser reveals that in the past, he visited his friends, the guardians of the Red and Blue Orbs on Mt. Pyre. When they were away, he briefly touched the Blue Orb, which filled his head with images of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Kyogre}}. Due to this moment of weakness, Spenser decided to train his spirit to prevent another incident from happening again. In addition to the visions, he gained the ability to tell when other people have touched the Blue Orb, such as Sapphire. Due to this, Spenser managed to find out that Guile not only touched the Blue Orb, but was [[Archie|someone]] who let its power seep through his entire person.

In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Spenser and the other Hoenn Frontier Brains battle and defeat the Admins of Neo [[Team Magma]] and Neo [[Team Aqua]], who had interfered in the launch of a rocket that was made to stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the world. Later, Spenser and the other Hoenn Frontier Brains are called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping the meteoroid.

|desc={{p|Crobat}} is Spenser's first known Pokémon. It was used to battle a {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Electrode}} in the opening ceremony of the Battle Frontier. Despite the type-disadvantage, Crobat, with the assistance of [[Lucy's Seviper]], was able to defeat them. At the Artisan Cave, it was used to battle Guile, only for its attacks to be easily countered. Crobat was used to battle Emerald's team at the Battle Palace, but was eventually defeated. In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter, it was seen helping Spenser fight the Admins of Neo Team Magma and Neo Team Aqua.

|desc={{p|Lapras}} is Spenser's second known Pokémon. It was first seen taking Spenser and some other Frontier Brains to the Artisan Cave. It was later chosen to be one of the three Pokémon Spenser would use to battle Emerald at the Battle Palace, but it was eventually defeated. When Guile attacked the Frontier with his sea monster Kyogre, Lapras was used to move on the water and helped battle the rental Pokémon.

|desc={{p|Slaking}} is Spenser's third known Pokémon. It was first seen being chosen to be one of the three Pokémon Spenser would use to battle Emerald at the Battle Palace, but it was eventually defeated.
