Spenser debuted in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. 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 then 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. 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 {{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 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}}.

====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
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 {{pkmn|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.

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. Spenser and the other Frontier Brains work together to get the press to safety and fight off Guile's rental Pokémon while Emerald and the other Pokédex holders fight Guile. 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 is the only Frontier Brain in the {{pkmn|anime}} who doesn't use any of the Pokémon he uses in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* 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.
