Spenser debuted in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. He found [[Ash's Pikachu]] lying along the riverbank and went on to heal the exhausted Pokemon with a natural remedy. [[Scott]] and {{ashfr}} later met up with Spenser and were relieved to see Pikachu was doing well. Everyone had a meal and stayed overnight in the jungle while {{Ash}} continued to comfort his heartbroken {{AP|Sceptile}}. The next day, Spenser and the others caught up to Ash just as {{TRT}} arrived and stolen both Pikachu and Sceptile. Ash managed to free his Pokemon from Team Rocket's clutches, and after a {{m|Heal Bell}} from Spenser's {{p|Chansey}}, Sceptile went on to send the evil trio blasting off. Spenser and Ash agreed rest up and {{pkmn|battle}} the following day.

He found [[Ash's Pikachu]] lying along the riverbank and healed it with a natural remedy. {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Scott]] later met up with Spenser, had a meal with him, and stayed overnight in the jungle while Ash continued to comfort {{AP|Sceptile}}, who had been left heartbroken by [[AG161|an earlier rejection]]. The next day, Spenser and the others caught up to Ash just as {{TRT}} arrived and stole both Pikachu and Sceptile. Ash managed to free his Pokémon, and after a {{m|Heal Bell}} from Spenser's {{p|Chansey}}, Sceptile sent the trio blasting off. Spenser and Ash agreed rest up and battle the following day.


In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', Ash and Spenser's match took place on a battlefield that covered a large portion of [[Metallica Island]]'s jungle. Sceptile defeated Spenser's {{p|Shiftry}}. {{TP|Spenser|Venusaur}} took several of {{AP|Heracross}}'s {{m|Megahorn}} attacks before knocking its opponent out with an overwhelming {{m|Solar Beam}}.

After Sceptile defeated Spenser's {{p|Shiftry}}, {{p|Venusaur}} took several of {{AP|Heracross}}'s {{m|Megahorn}} attacks before knocking its opponent out with an overwhelming {{m|Solar Beam}}.
After a small snack break, the battle resumed. Ash selected {{AP|Swellow}}, and despite the aerial advantage the {{type|Flying}} had to contend with Venusaur's fury of {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks. A sudden move of the clouds caused Venusaur's Solar Beam to take longer than expected, and Swellow used the delay to knock Venusaur out. Spenser then sent out his {{p|Claydol}}, which quickly defeated Swellow. After another heated battle, Spenser and his Claydol eventually lost due to Sceptile learning and using {{m|Solar Beam}}.


Spenser made an appearance in a flashback in ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day]]'' and another flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage]]'' along with the other [[Kanto]] [[Frontier Brain]]s.
After a small snack break, the {{pkmn|battle}} resumed. Ash selected {{AP|Swellow}}, and despite having the aerial advantage, the {{type|Flying}} had to contend with Venusaur's {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks. Suddenly, the clouds moved and obscured the Sun, causing Venusaur's Solar Beam to take longer than expected. Swellow took advantage of the delay to knock Venusaur out. Spenser sent out his {{p|Claydol}}, which quickly defeated Swellow. After another heated battle, Spenser and his Claydol eventually lost due to Sceptile learning and using {{m|Solar Beam}}.


===Character===
Spenser reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage]]'', along with the other [[Kanto]] [[Frontier Brain]]s.
Spenser enjoys his simple life on [[Metallica Island]], which allows him to appreciate the splendors of its natural beauty. He believes in a natural order as well as the balance between humans and Pokemon. He has knowledge of herbal medicines and prefers to use locally sourced ingredients to create his meals.


In {{pkmn|battle}}, Spenser is not one for confrontation and prefers to use [[special attack]]s to overwhelm his opponent. He also uses the open aired battlefield's varied [[weather]] conditions and landscapes to his advantage, making the battle for the [[Symbol|Spirits Symbol]] tough and tasking on any {{pkmn|Trainer}}. For example his {{TP|Spenser|Venusaur}}'s {{m|Solar Beam}} charges quicker when sunny, or his {{p|Claydol}}'s {{m|Rapid Spin}} can whip up a devastating sandstorm.

They found him and {{AP|Sceptile}} being attacked by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}, and Venusaur helped them by using {{m|Sweet Scent}} to calm them down.

Spenser is one of the seven {{pkmn|Trainer}}s hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Spenser is first seen at the Frontier's opening ceremony, where he participates in a demonstration battle alongside Lucy. Though the battle ends in an easy victory, the ceremony is interrupted by {{adv|Emerald}}, who announces that he wishes to conquer the Battle Frontier. The press mistakenly report the incident as allowing an ordinary Trainer to take part in the Battle Frontier before it officially opens a week later. The Frontier Brains decide to use this assumption as free publicity and allow Emerald to challenge the Battle Frontier under the condition that he completes it before it officially opens.

Later, while Emerald is challenging the [[Battle Pyramid]], Noland is attacked by an unknown assailant and several rental Pokémon are stolen. After Noland is taken to a hospital, the other Frontier Brains begin to suspect Emerald as the culprit. They head to the Battle Pyramid to confront Emerald and find him after having defeated Brandon. When they ask him about what happened, Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon {{adv|Jirachi}}. The Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into [[Artisan Cave]], where Jirachi is currently located at. Upon arriving, everyone is attacked by a horde of wild {{p|Smeargle}} while Emerald continues inside to find Jirachi. After the Frontier Brains get past the Smeargle, they meet up with Emerald, who has managed to find Jirachi. Emerald attempts to capture Jirachi, but is attacked by [[Guile Hideout]], the actual culprit who attacked Noland. When Jirachi runs off, Emerald attempts to pursue it, only to be attacked by the rental Pokémon Guile had stolen. Spenser, Brandon, Lucy, and Tucker all try to attack Guile to avenge Noland, but are easily defeated. Eventually, Jirachi escapes, forcing Guile to leave to continue his pursuit of it. Injured from the battle, everyone decides to return to the Battle Frontier. When they meet up with Scott again, he reveals that he was aware of Guile and Emerald's true mission the entire time. Scott states that he withheld the information from the Frontier Brains to help them get stronger as they still would have lost even if they had known of Guile beforehand.

Guile is impressed by Spenser's skills, but uses Jirachi to wish for a gigantic Kyogre made of seawater to flood the entire Battle Frontier.

Eventually Emerald and the Pokédex holders manage to defeat Guile and destroy the gigantic Kyogre monster. The day after, an injured Spenser and the other Frontier Brains congratulate Emerald for the hard work he put into saving everyone.

==Trivia==
* Spenser is the only [[Generation III]] Frontier Brain who never uses the {{m|Rest}}–[[Chesto Berry]] healing combo on any of his Pokémon.
* Spenser is the only [[Generation III]] Frontier Brain who never uses the {{m|Rest}}–[[Chesto Berry]] healing combo on any of his Pokémon.
* Spenser's staff and tattoos appear to be designed after {{p|Kyogre}}. His relation with this Pokémon was addressed only in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where he touched the [[Blue Orb]] in the past, giving him visions of Kyogre.
* The two Pokémon that appear with Spenser before he's battled are possible references to different stages of life: {{p|Azurill}}, being a [[baby Pokémon]], represents birth, while {{p|Dusclops}}, being a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, represents death.
** Spenser, along with his Azurill and Dusclops, may also be a reference to the riddle of the Sphinx. Azurill, while not having four legs, is a baby Pokémon, while Dusclops is considered an adult, as it walks on two legs, while Spenser himself is an elderly man who walks on three legs: his own two legs and his staff.
