Norman cares deeply for his family, wishing his children to have some quality time and good friends. Norman is also very protective of them, often fighting even more aggressively in the process of protecting them. {{an|May}} and [[Max]] respect their father's extensive efforts to ensure a healthy relationship with them, such as coming home for lunch and playing with his children. In general, Norman is jovial and calm, but at times, he can sometimes overlook things and cannot see the actual problem at hand. | Norman cares deeply for his family, wishing his children to have some quality time and good friends.

In the broader community, Norman is quite popular for both his looks and his position as a [[Gym Leader]], having an enthusiastic fanbase in [[North Petalburg]] and an emerging image in [[Petalburg City]]. In battle, he is intensely focused and has perfected his Pokémon in both offensive and defensive tactics. Norman commonly utilizes his trio of {{p|Slakoth}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, and {{p|Slaking}} to confuse his opponents because they are capable of moving at different speeds. Norman gives his opponent credit for an excellent strategy and accepts a loss as critical to personal growth. He enjoys a challenge, wanting to see his opponent struggle to overcome his strategy and sheer power. However, he does not let his children watch the battle, thinking it would distract the challenger. Max claimed that Norman was capable of entering the [[Elite Four]] in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]''. | In the broader community, Norman is quite popular for both his looks and his position as a [[Gym Leader]], having an enthusiastic fanbase in [[North Petalburg]] and an emerging image in [[Petalburg City]].

After a tough battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], Vigoroth managed to defeat him. Later, it helped in destroying one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]] that was attacking the Gym. | ||
In ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, and {{ho|Kenny}} saw Vigoroth hanging from a brunch at a place where Norman keeps his Pokémon. It then hugged Max. Team Rocket also planned to steal it for {{an|Giovanni}}, along with {{p|Slakoth}} and {{p|Slaking}}. When Ash arrived at the greenhouse, Vigoroth fell onto him. Ash was happy to see Vigoroth again. | |||
In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Vigoroth was the second Pokémon used by Norman in his official Gym battle with Ash. It initially managed to easily dodge {{AP|Torkoal}}'s {{m|Overheat}}, and knocked out Torkoal with {{m|Scratch}}. After this, it had an intense battle with {{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 {{a|Static}} [[Ability]]. Seizing the opportunity, Pikachu attacked with {{m|Iron Tail}}, knocking Vigoroth out. However, Pikachu wasted all of his energy, and was also knocked out in the process. | |||
It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG057|Going for a Spinda]]'', ''[[AG068|A Double Dilemma]]'', and the Japanese version of ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]''. | It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG057|Going for a Spinda]]'', ''[[AG068|A Double Dilemma]]'', and the Japanese version of ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]''. | ||

It appeared again in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power!]]'', during Norman's battle with Ash. The match started with Norman's Slakoth against Ash's Pikachu. Utilizing Pikachu's speed, Ash ordered Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Slakoth dodged this and counterattacked with Shadow Ball. Jumping out of the way, Pikachu attacked with {{m|Iron Tail}} but missed once again as Slakoth leaned out of the way. Dazed, Pikachu was unable to dodge Slakoth's Hidden Power, and was blasted across the arena. | |desc=Norman's {{p|Slakoth}} first appeared in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', in a greenhouse where Norman keeps his Pokémon.

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. | As Pikachu recovered from Hidden Power, Ash realized that he needed to change his strategy.
