Ash caught Turtwig in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It had been living in the forest near [[Clara]]'s home, and it broke up fights among wild Pokémon in the area. After [[Team Rocket]] stole [[Ash's Pikachu]], their balloon crashed, and Turtwig defended Pikachu against them. When Ash and his friends appeared, Turtwig assumed they were trying to wrongfully steal Pikachu, too, so it attacked them and ran off with an exhausted Pikachu in tow. The next time they confronted Turtwig, the misunderstanding was explained, and Turtwig apologetically befriended Ash. At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends began to leave, and the old woman encouraged Turtwig to go with Ash, so it ran to challenge him. Turtwig and Pikachu battled, and Ash caught Turtwig.

Turtwig is a brave yet kind Pokémon that has high confidence for its small size. It apparently has a strong jaw, as it is often seen latching itself onto people and Pokémon's heads, tails, hats, and appendages to attack or show affection. It has done this to [[Ash]] as well. In this way its behavior somewhat resembles that of [[James's Victreebel]], [[James's Carnivine|Carnivine]], and [[James's Cacnea|Cacnea]].

In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', Turtwig battled [[Ash's Chimchar|Paul's Chimchar]] and lost. Although it held its own in battle, it appeared to hesitate upon receiving Ash's command to dodge attacks.

Turtwig has also helped in Ash's [[Gym]] battles. It defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Cranidos}} in their first battle, and in the rematch, defeated the newly evolved {{p|Rampardos}}. This victory gave Ash his first badge.

It also battled against [[Gardenia]]'s Turtwig during his second gym battle. Although Gardenia's Pokémon had defeated Ash's during a battle in the [[Eterna Forest]], he gained the upper hand and defeated the {{type2|Grass}}.
