'''Emerald's Sceptile''' (Japanese: '''エメラルドのジュカイン''' ''Emerald's Jukain'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{adv|Emerald}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and his [[starter Pokémon]]. As of ''[[PS307|Gotcha Where I Wantcha, Glalie]]'', he is level 51.

====With [[Professor Birch]]====

As a Treecko, Sceptile was one of the starter Pokémon owned by [[Professor Birch]], alongside a [[Chic|Torchic]] and [[Mumu|Mudkip]]. [[PS239|During the battle]] between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, Birch became trapped on top of a tree in an attempt to get away from the flood. Before the Trainer that Treecko was promised to could arrive to receive it from Birch, a wave hit the tree, washing Treecko and a [[Pokédex]] away.

====With {{adv|Wally}}====

In ''[[PS240|Talk About Timing, Treecko]]'', the bag holding Treecko and the Pokédex eventually made its way to {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, where it was found by {{adv|Wally}}. After saving him, Wally had his Pokémon nurse the exhausted Treecko back to health.

In ''[[PS241|Dreadful Dealing with Dusclops]]'', during Wally's climb of the [[Sky Pillar]], Treecko returned the favor by saving Wally from falling off a crumbling floor. On the last floor, Wally encounters a wild {{p|Dusclops}}, which threatened to suck everything into a black hole it created. Although reluctant since it wasn't his Pokémon, Wally decides to trust in Treecko's power and sends him out to face the Beckon Pokémon. Immediately upon being sent out, Treecko evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} and broke through the black hole with Leaf Blade, defeating his opponent in the process.

In ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]'', Wally was tasked with awakening {{p|Rayquaza}} on the peak of the Sky Pillar. Grovyle was used to battle the Sky High Pokémon and with a powerful Bullet Seed, Grovyle broke through Rayquaza's ozone barrier, awakening it. The impact sent both Wally and Grovyle flying, separating the two.  

Grovyle eventually landed on some island, where he quickly evolved into his final stage, Sceptile. There, he was knocked unconscious and captured by [[Guile Hideout]], who planned to smuggle him and several other Pokémon to drive out the media in preparation for his capture of {{p|Jirachi}}. The shock of these events caused Sceptile to block them out of his memories, but he still retained an interest in the Pokédex.

In ''[[PS312|Chipping Away at Regirock]]'', Sceptile is used in Emerald's challenge against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} and his {{p|Regirock}} in the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Sceptile managed to get the upper hand by absorbing Regirock's health with {{m|Leech Seed}}, but was knocked out by an {{m|Explosion}}. When Emerald's other Pokémon were defeated and Brandon looks like the winner Sceptile comes in and knocks out {{p|Regice}} with Iron Tail. Emerald soon reveals that he used a Revive to bring Sceptile back.

In ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', Sceptile is used in the [[Battle Arena]] to battle {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Heracross}}. Sceptile attacks with Leaf Blade, but Heracross manages to deflect the attack with its horn. Sceptile then rushes in to deliver several punches and throws it to the ground. Greta has Heracross send Sceptile flying with {{m|Megahorn}}, heavily damaging him. The battle ends, and with an assessment, Greta's Heracross defeats Sceptile with a score of five to one.

In ''[[PS322|Susceptible to Sceptile]]'', Sceptile is used to battle against {{adv|Ruby}}'s [[Feefee]] in the semifinal round of the {{ho|Battle Dome}}. Sceptile starts with a barrage of attacks, one of them paralyzing Feefee. This activates her [[Ability]] {{a|Marvel Scale}}, making most of Sceptile's attacks useless. Sceptile is then frozen by Feefee's {{m|Blizzard}}. Although frozen, Sceptile manages to regain its lost memories, giving it the strength to break through his icy prison and defeat Feefee, giving Emerald the win. With his memories returned, Sceptile began attacking {{adv|Ruby}}, as he was furious over when Ruby called Mumu better than him in terms of appearance.

 

In ''[[PS330|The Final Battle III]]'', during the final battle with Guile, Emerald is given one of the bangles possessed by [[Ultima]]. With it, he teaches Sceptile the ultimate {{type|Grass}} move, Frenzy Plant. With the power of Frenzy Plant, Sceptile teams up with the Pokémon of the nine other Pokédex holders to destroy Guile's monster {{p|Kyogre}} with a powerful Frenzy Plant, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} combination.

In ''[[PAORAS03|Omega Alpha Adventure 3]]'', Sceptile, alongside Chic and Mumu, trained under Ultima in order to fully master the ultimate moves. The training was issued by [[Steven Stone]] and [[Mr. Stone]] as part of a plan dedicated to preventing a giant [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the planet. With a set of [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s obtained from Steven, Sceptile gained the ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After a day of training, Sceptile fully mastered Frenzy Plant and attained his Mega-Evolved state.

With the training over, Mr. Stone had everyone taken to the [[Sea Mauville]] for the next stage of the plan. There, Sceptile and Chic were put on a set of machines known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] and ordered to coat themselves in the power of the ultimate moves. Once ready, Mr. Stone and Steven active the Absorbers, which proceed to painfully drain the life energy of Sceptile and Chic. The energy was converted into [[Infinity Energy]] and used to power a device called the dimensional shifter capable of warping the meteoroid to another location.

Sceptile is shown as a stubborn but caring Pokémon. He is fierce, fast, and proud, however always maintaining an undeterred loyalty to Emerald. He cares deeply for him, once getting into a fight between his other Pokémon to see who would care for him. Sceptile was also shown to be a bit sensitive about how others perceived him, attacking Ruby for thinking he is ugly.
