Brandon took witness to {{adv|Emerald}}'s battle with Noland and immediately refined his facility for him, just in case. He seems to carry a special dislike for Emerald, but treats him fairly - explaining the rules of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and showing off his Pokémon to the boy before the challenge. He expects Emerald to be tired out during their confrontation, but is surprised to see that Emerald used a {{p|Phanpy}}'s {{a|Pickup}} Ability to collect enough items to keep his team refreshed. Brandon says he favors [[one-hit knockout move]]s, like {{m|Explosion}}.
Brandon debuts in the {{chap|Emerald}}. He is one of the seven Trainers hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the Battle Frontier. Brandon is first seen capturing the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regice}} to be used at the Battle Pyramid. Later, he is seen watching the Battle Frontier's opening ceremony. 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.


Brandon later lends his Pokémon to {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, allowing him to capture {{p|Regigigas}}.
Brandon is the third Frontier Brain Emerald challenges in his quest. After traversing multiple sets of floors, Emerald eventually manages to reach Brandon. Despite having three Legendary Pokémon, Brandon is defeated by Emerald's {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}. Upon his defeat, Brandon awards Emerald the Brave Symbol. After Emerald thanks Brandon for the Symbol and heads down the stairs of the Battle Pyramid, he is interrupted by the other Frontier Brains. They reveal that someone attacked Noland earlier and stolen multiple rental Pokémon and they believe the culprit is Emerald.
 
Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon {{p|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. Brandon, Lucy, Spenser, 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.
 
After Emerald defeats Greta, Noland appears to everyone, revealing that he snuck out of the hospital because he couldn't stand lying in bed doing nothing. He asks Scott for the Jirachi Report so that he could translate it to find out where Jirachi will appear next. That night, Brandon comes in to assist Noland in deciphering the rest of the Jirachi Report. Together, they realize that Jirachi has a third eye, which must be looked at in order for Jirachi to grant someone's wish.
 
The next day, Brandon assists the other Frontier Brains in ushering people to the Battle Dome. During the tournament, Guile appears and manages to capture Jirachi. Guile uses the rental Pokémon to the attack innocent bystanders and heads to the Battle Tower to make his wish. Once he arrives at the Battle Tower, Guile uses Jirachi to wish for a gigantic {{p|Kyogre}} made of seawater to flood the entire Battle Frontier. Brandon and the other Frontier Brains work together to get civilians 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 Brandon and the other Frontier Brains congratulate Emerald for the hard work he put into saving everyone.
 
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it is revealed that Brandon lent his Pokémon to {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, allowing the latter to awaken {{p|Regigigas}} in hopes to use it to protect Sinnoh in times of a crisis. Palmer later released Regigigas back into the wild due to it being hard to control and its power not being needed yet.

The following is the listing for Brandon's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga:
{{TrainerPoké

|epnum=PS254
|epname=A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel II

{{p|Regirock}} was originally sealed inside the [[Desert Ruins]] before being awakened by [[Steven Stone]] and the Hoenn Elite Four to be used to help stop the battle between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. The three Pokémon eventually lashed out at their controllers and fled to another location where they were found by Brandon and caught for use in the Battle Pyramid. During Emerald's run of the Battle Pyramid, Regirock was sent out to battle the boy first. Regirock fought Emerald's Sceptile and heavily damaged it with {{m|Explosion}}, causing itself to faint in the process.}}

|epname=A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel II
|desc={{main|Brandon's legendary golems#In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Brandon's Registeel}}
 
{{p|Registeel}} was originally sealed inside the [[Ancient Tomb]] before being awakened by Steven and the Hoenn Elite Four to be used to help stop the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. The three Pokémon eventually lashed out at their controllers and fled to another location where they were found by Brandon and caught for use in the Battle Pyramid. During Emerald's run of the Battle Pyramid, Registeel was sent out to battle the boy second. Registeel battled against Emerald's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, but was quickly defeated by a series of high-speed punches. Hitmonchan fainted soon after due to Registeel secretly poisoning it with {{m|Toxic}}.}}

{{p|Regice}} was originally sealed inside the [[Island Cave]] before being awakened by Steven Stone and the Hoenn Elite Four to be used to help stop the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. The three Pokémon eventually lashed out at their controllers and fled to another location where they were found by Brandon and caught for use in the Battle Pyramid. During Emerald's run of the Battle Pyramid, Regice was sent out to battle the boy last. Regice fought Emerald's {{p|Cubone}} and easily managed to win, but was defeated by an {{m|Iron Tail}} from Sceptile, which Emerald had used a Revive on during the battle. Later, it was used to battle Guile Hideout at the Artisan Cave, but was easily defeated.}}
