Tracey attempted to help it by feeding it medicine, but it only growled at him and then backed away, feeling threatened. Ash attempted to capture it in a [[Poké Ball]], but Scyther deflected it. Tracey then asked his {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on the Mantis Pokémon. Scyther quickly went to sleep and Tracey captured it without a struggle before heading off to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]]. | ||
While [[Nurse Joy]] was bandaging its wounds, it leered at Tracey through the window as if it was angry with him for helping. Nurse Joy goes on to explain that because of the wounds it sustained, it must have been the leader of a {{p|Scyther}} swarm who lost its battle for leadership. Because it appeared elderly, she assumed that it lost to a younger, faster Scyther. Since it lost its leadership, it had to leave the swarm and live by itself. The loss forced it to leave the swarm and live in exile unless it wins another leadership match. Ash calls Professor Oak, the professor commending Tracey. Oak points out that Scyther's self-esteem is probably low due to losing leadership and being captured. Oak suggests to Tracey to try to heal Scyther’s mood and get it back in shape. | While [[Nurse Joy]] was bandaging its wounds, it leered at Tracey through the window as if it was angry with him for helping.

Tracey is pained that he could do nothing to help Scyther feel better, but Ash suggests that he help train Scyther to re-challenge the new leader when it gets better. Without warning, it starts to fly and bursts through the glass window but crashes to the ground. This does not deter it and it flies off leaving the others behind. It was assumed that Scyther wished to challenge the new leader immediately. | Tracey is pained that he could do nothing to help Scyther feel better, but Ash suggests that he help train Scyther to re-challenge the new leader when it gets better.

It's soon discovered that Scyther heard the cries of its former swarm members who had been captured by [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] and it left the Pokémon Center in order to save them.

Scyther declines Pikachu's assistance and challenged every one of {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} single-handily. It was able to fight all five, but its fatigue kicked in just as {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} used {{m|Poison Sting}}. The new Scyther leaped in to help out and the two Scyther sent Team Rocket fleeing. Afterwards, Scyther makes amends with its replacement and happily goes with Tracey. | ||

They quickly warmed up to it after seeing that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was not scared of it. However, {{AP|Charizard}} had no interest and nearly hit Scyther with {{m|Flamethrower}}. This caused the two Pokémon to have a small rivalry between one another. Scyther then warded off Ash's hungry {{AP|Snorlax}} from devouring all of their food. They were able to set aside their differences to alert their Trainers that Team Rocket was trying to steal their Pokémon. Scyther was also able to send Team Rocket blasting off with Skull Bash. | ||

Tracey loaned Scyther and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} to Misty in order to help fight a fire on [[Ascorbia Island]] while he went to find [[Captain Aidan]]'s [[Team Wartortle|Wartortle]] in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''.

It assisted by slashing away rubble that fell from the burning building long enough for Team Wartortle to come and finish the job. | ||

Scyther has the attitude of a warrior and pride means everything to it. It will not back down from a battle even when the odds are stacked against it. It is also extremely loyal to members of its swarm as it came to protect them even though it had been exiled from the swarm. It has also been seen to have a gentle side as seen in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' when [[Misty's Togepi]] came to greet it. | Scyther has the attitude of a warrior and pride means everything to it.

Undoubtedly, Scyther is the powerhouse of Tracey's team that is used solely for battling rather than Pokémon watching. Though because it is elderly, it gets tired easily, resulting in Tracey not pushing it very hard. Its age is also evident in the way it looks as it appears scruffier than younger Scyther.

Though because it is elderly, it gets tired easily, resulting in Tracey not pushing it very hard. Its age is also evident in the way it looks as it appears scruffier than younger Scyther. It would often use Swords Dance to blow away a {{m|Smog}} or a {{m|SmokeScreen}} attack caused by [[James's Weezing]]. | ||
When Scyther initially appeared, it was shown to be a 'sore loser', not taking defeat well. Indeed, after Tracey had captured it, it retained this characteristic, although, as mentioned before, it did take defeat a little bit better. | When Scyther initially appeared, it was shown to be a 'sore loser', not taking defeat well.
