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.

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 {{p|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]] Mr. Stone was carrying while "saving" Castform, decided to abandon secrecy and directly attacked Mr. Stone, escaping with the parts while Sapphire pursued them to Petalburg Woods.
