===Pokémon Adventures===
In the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, {{adv|Ruby}} visits the city of his father's Gym, initially by means of his [[Running Shoes]] that cause minor havoc. He encounters {{adv|Wally}}, a frail young boy who admits to failing to catch the wild {{p|Nuzleaf}} that Ruby's {{p|Mudkip}}, [[Mumu]], defeated earlier. Wally says that despite his latest setback, he refuses to give up becoming a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Ruby suddenly senses [[Norman]] approaching, and hides himself and Wally in a bush. Wally eventually comes out on Norman's request, but is refused help to capture a Pokémon, due to ill health.
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS185|Nixing Nuzleaf]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} arrived in Petalburg City. After defeating a group of [[wild Pokémon]] trying to attack him, he discovered {{adv|Wally}}, whose attempts to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} one of them had caused them to be startled. Ruby offered to help him catch a Pokémon, but Wally told him that someone else was already coming to help him do that. Said person turned out to be [[Norman]], much to Ruby's horror, as he was trying to avoid his father after running away from home to participate in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Wally asked Norman to teach him how to catch Pokémon, but Norman refused, since he hadn't been informed of Wally's illness before he had made his promise.


The next day, Ruby helps cheer up a disheartened Wally by helping him capture his first Pokémon, a {{p|Kecleon}}, with the help of Ruby's {{p|Ralts}}, [[Rara]]. Shortly after the capture succeeds, an earthquake ravages the ground underneath Ruby, causing him to fall into the ocean. Wally and Rara are separated from Ruby.
In ''[[PS186|Brushing Past Breloom]]'', after Ruby had escaped his father's detection and taken Wally back home, Wally told him that his parents didn't want him to catch a Pokémon, so they must've told Norman to refuse helping him. Angered by this, Ruby took Wally to [[Petalburg Woods]] to teach him how to catch himself a Pokémon.
 
In ''[[PS188|Lombre Larceny]]'', {{adv|Sapphire}} helped to free [[Mr. Stone]]'s [[Fofo|Castform]] after it had gotten stuck in a fountain in Petalburg City. [[Team Aqua]] {{tc|Aqua Admin|Admins}}, who had sabotaged the fountain on purpose in order to secretly steal the [[Devon Parts]] that Mr. Stone was carrying while "saving" Castform, decided to abandon stealth and directly attacked Mr. Stone, escaping with the parts while Sapphire pursued them to Petalburg Woods.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a woman says that [[Norman]] (and indirectly the rest of his family, which includes {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}) moved to [[Hoenn]] from the [[Johto]] region. This reference was removed in {{game|Emerald}}, with the lady instead saying that he came from "somewhere far away".
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, a female NPC in the city claims that [[Norman]] (and, indirectly, the rest of his family, which includes the {{player}}) moved to [[Hoenn]] from [[Johto]].
** Norman himself also states that he is from [[Olivine City]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.
**In {{game|Emerald}}, the NPC instead simply says that Norman came from "somewhere far away".
* In the {{smw|Mario}} game ''{{smw|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}'', there is a town also named {{smw|Petalburg}} in English; however, its Japanese name is different. Additionally, there is a {{smw|Sun Stone}} and a {{smw|Moon Stone}} near said town.
**In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{B2W2}}, Norman says that he is from [[Olivine City]].
