Norman debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He is the father of {{adv|Ruby}} and the newly appointed Leader of the Petalburg Gym. On Ruby's 11th birthday, Norman had his wife and son move to Hoenn to live in Littleroot Town. Due to Norman's dislike of his son partaking in Pokémon Contests, Ruby held a grudge against his father.

Norman is the father of {{adv|Ruby}} and the newly appointed Leader of the Petalburg Gym. On Ruby's 11th birthday, Norman had his wife and son move to Hoenn to live in Littleroot Town. Due to Norman's dislike of his son partaking in Pokémon Contests, Ruby held a grudge against his father. Ruby decided to run away and prove to his father the superiority of [[Pokémon Contest]]s to battling. As he left, he took the Running Shoes his father gave him as a birthday present. Upon arriving at Petalburg City, Ruby attempted to avoid being spotted by Norman. His attempts led him to meeting {{adv|Wally}}, a sickly boy attempting to capture his first Pokémon. Wally asks Norman if he will teach him how to capture Pokémon as he had previously requested. He refuses due to Wally neglecting to inform Norman about his illness.

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.

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.

In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Norman appears at [[Meteor Falls]]. He meets with the {{OBP|Elder|Meteor Village}} that lives there in hopes of getting information about Rayquaza again. There, he meets with Ruby and {{adv|Emerald}}, who had come there for the same reason. With the old woman's help, Norman determines the Rayquaza may be returning to the location where it was held captive by the Pokémon Association. With {{p|Hoopa}}'s rings, Norman and Ruby head to Johto.

Upon arriving in Goldenrod City, Norman and Ruby enter the now-abandoned Pokémon Association research facility. After a search through the facility's data files, Norman comes across video footage of the moment where Rayquaza was first encountered at the [[Embedded Tower]]. Before they can witness Rayquaza's capture, the video cuts off. Ruby decides that if Rayquaza was found at {{rt|47|Johto}}, then it may have gone there instead of Goldenrod. Norman reveals that he asked Emerald to give him the [[Jade Orb|Green Orb]] core shortly before they entered Hoopa's ring. He reveals the core was originally created by the Association in order to create an artificial Green Orb capable of controlling Rayquaza, as it didn't have an orb like Groudon or Kyogre. When Rayquaza escaped its captivity, the project was scrapped and the core was thrown away before being completed, where it eventually ended up in Emerald's hands. Norman uses a machine to increase the core's purity, increasing its strength and turning it a shade of jade.
