==In the anime==

[[File:Norman anime.png|250px|thumb|Norman in the anime]]

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Norman is the father of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the husband of [[Caroline]].

Norman is a good friend of [[Professor Birch]] and was most likely the person to send May to [[Littleroot Town]] to get her first Pokémon. As May did not initially like Pokémon, this seemed to have created some distance between the two. Before Ash knew that Norman was May's father, he commented that it sounded like she knew the Petalburg Gym Leader pretty well, to which she replied, "No, I just wish I did," and became subdued.

His final appearances saw him watching May in the [[Wallace Cup]] on television in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

This listing is of Norman's Pokémon in the [[Pokémon anime]].

Vigoroth was seen again in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', in Ash and Norman's official Gym battle, where it was the second Pokémon used by the Gym Leader. It at first managed to easily dodge Torkoal's {{m|Overheat}}, and knocked out {{AP|Torkoal}} with {{m|Scratch}}. After this, it had an intense battle with Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}. Norman ordered Vigoroth to use Scratch, but was surprised when Ash told Pikachu to take the hit. Vigoroth's Scratch attack hit home, but the powerful Pokémon was suddenly paralyzed by Pikachu's innate Static Ability. Seizing the opportunity, Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, knocking Vigoroth out. However, Pikachu wasted all of his energy, and was also knocked out in the process.

Vigoroth's known moves are {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}.}}

As Pikachu recovered from Hidden Power, Ash realized that he needed to change his strategy. He decided to try {{t|Electric}} attacks and ordered Pikachu to attack with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However Slakoth dodged this attack as well, and responded with Blizzard. The incredible cold kept Pikachu from attacking back, so Ash recalled him and sent out {{AP|Torkoal}} instead. Torkoal used {{m|Flamethrower}}, which easily blasted through Slakoth's Blizzard and scored a direct hit, knocking Slakoth out.

Slakoth's known moves are {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Hidden Power}}, and {{m|Blizzard}}.}}

Norman's search leads him to the [[Weather Institute]], where he attacks Ruby, demanding to know why he ran away from home. Ruby considers running away, but he decides to stay and fight in order to prove to his father how determined he is. Norman easily gains the upper hand due to teaching Ruby all he knows about fighting, but Ruby turns the tide by using new tactics with the Pokémon he caught on his journey. The battle causes the worn-out institute to break apart, leaving Ruby and Norman left dangling above shrapnel that fell from their battle. With the Running Shoes he got as a gift from Norman, Ruby manages to save the both of them, but is left exhausted and defeated. Norman attempts to continue their battle, but he is stopped by fellow Gym Leader [[Winona]]. Winona tells Norman that he is in trouble for leaving his Gym despite challengers wanting to battle. Norman grudgingly obeys Winona's command to come with her. Before he leaves, Norman tells Ruby that he accepts his desire to partake in Pokémon Contests despite his own personal dislike of them. He demands that in return, Ruby should not return home until he has fully accomplished his goals.

Later, Norman and the other Gym Leaders are called by [[Flannery]] to meet in [[Fortree City]]. They have a discussion on [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] about whether or not one of the teams is evil and the other is good. Norman refuses to pick a side out of disinterest and begins to leave. Winona reminds him that as one of the Gym Leaders chosen by the Pokémon Association, he has to comply with the others. Norman refuses and continues leaving, but is stopped by [[Wattson]]. Wattson suggests that Norman use his strength to help in the upcoming Hoenn crisis and apologizes for the others' behavior due to their lack of knowledge about his past with the Pokémon Association. Norman politely tells Wattson to stop talking and heads off.

Once Archie and Maxie were defeated, Ruby used his {{p|Celebi}} to revive all the people that were killed in the final battle. Norman is brought back to life thanks to Celebi's [[time travel]] abilities. Afterward, Norman celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} for their assistance in the battle. Sapphire immediately challenged Norman to a Gym battle, which she managed to win and earn the Balance Badge.

Just as the process is completed, Norman and Ruby are shocked to see that Rayquaza has appeared in the skies. They find Rayquaza feeding on shards of the meteoroid, which have begun falling onto Johto as well. They take to the skies in order to confront Rayquaza and capture it. During the battle, Rayquaza manages to capture Ruby and blocks Norman's attempt to rescue his son. Ruby takes the opportunity to use the scroll he took from [[Zinnia]] in order to teach Rayquaza {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, which will allow it to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza continues attacking Ruby, Norman attempts to control it with the Green Orb core, only for it to fail. Ruby tells Norman to call Emerald and ask Hoopa to bring them back to Hoenn, as he plans on destroying the meteoroid with Sapphire.

After Hoopa opens the path to the Meteor Village, Ruby uses the Jade Orb core to lead Rayquaza back to Hoenn with Norman. When it sees Kyogre and Groudon through the ring, Rayquaza goes berserk and begins attacking the two. Rayquaza rushes towards the ring to confront Kyogre and Groudon, causing Norman to fall off and be left behind. It is later revealed by {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} that Norman would assist the combined efforts of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]] to stop the meteoroid.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===

[[File:Norman PMRS.png|thumb|180px|Norman in the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga]]

When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon visit the [[Petalburg Gym]] after getting startled by a Poké Ball that flew from there, they notice Norman drinking and feeling down. Norman revealed to the group as the one who threw the Poké Balls. He then revealed that he felt sad since his {{p|Slakoth}} refused to partake in any battles. Norman takes out a chart and shows it to Red and his Pokémon that the {{Badge|Balance}} is stuck inside Slakoth. After {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} took a nap, Norman explained to Red and his Pokémon that Slakoth doesn't like it when someone is lazier than it. Norman then watched as Clefairy went inside Slakoth to get the Balance Badge. After retrieving it, Norman demanded the group to return the badge to him but Clefairy refused. Afterwards, he became furious about this and chased after Red and his Pokémon since Clefairy refused to return the badge to Norman.
