Later, Norman and the other Gym Leaders are called by [[Flannery]] to meet in [[Fortree City]]. They have a discussion on [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] about whether or not one of the teams is evil and the other is good. Norman refuses to pick a side out of disinterest and begins to leave. Winona reminds him that as one of the Gym Leaders chosen by the Pokémon Association, he has to comply with the others. Norman refuses and continues leaving, but is stopped by [[Wattson]]. Wattson suggests that Norman use his strength to help in the upcoming Hoenn crisis and apologizes for the others' behavior due to their lack of knowledge about his past with the Pokémon Association. Norman politely tells Wattson to stop talking and heads off. | Later, Norman and the other Gym Leaders are called by [[Flannery]] to meet in [[Fortree City]].

When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Instead of helping stop the Pokémon from causing havoc, Norman decides to fulfill Wally's request and takes him to the [[Sky Pillar]] for training. After several days of training, Wally becomes much stronger from climbing the tower and battling the wild Pokémon inside. As they continue to train, Norman gets a call from [[Scott]], who informs him that Ruby was chosen to be the wielder of the Red Orb used to control Groudon. This makes Norman decide to team up with Wally to awaken the third Legendary Pokémon that can stop Groudon and Kyogre, {{p|Rayquaza}}. Upon succeeding, Norman leaves Wally behind and flies off on Rayquaza to [[Sootopolis City]]. | When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn.

When Norman arrives, Ruby is fighting Groudon and Kyogre alone with both the Red and Blue | When Norman arrives, Ruby is fighting Groudon and Kyogre alone with both the Red and [[Blue Orb]]s in hand. Together, they use [[Colored orbs|the orbs]] in conjunction with Rayquaza to send Groudon and Kyogre away to return to their long slumber. The strain of having controlled Rayquaza for too long causes Norman to collapse and begin dying. In his last breath, Norman reveals that five years ago, Ruby's battle with a [[Zinnia's Salamence|Salamence]] caused it to go berserk and accidentally free the Rayquaza captured by the Pokémon Association. Not wanting his son to take the blame, Norman lied to the association and put the fault on himself. The Association Director barred Norman from taking the Gym Leader test for five years and ordered him to find Rayquaza. Norman was forced to distance himself from his family during that time, which eventually led to Ruby becoming the way he is now. He then dies in Ruby's arms, much to the horror of his son. When [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] come out of hiding to attack the exhausted Ruby, they decide to burn Norman's corpse to make sure he won't be able to return to stop their plans again. | ||
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. | Once Archie and Maxie were defeated, Ruby used his {{p|Celebi}} to revive all the people that were killed in the final battle.

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. | In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Norman appears at [[Meteor Falls]].

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 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. | Upon arriving in Goldenrod City, Norman and Ruby enter the now-abandoned Pokémon Association research facility.

Just as the process is completed, Norman and Ruby are shocked to see that Rayquaza has appeared in the skies. They find Rayquaza feeding on shards of the meteoroid, which have begun falling onto Johto as well. They take to the skies in order to confront Rayquaza and capture it. During the battle, Rayquaza manages to capture Ruby and blocks Norman's attempt to rescue his son. Ruby takes the opportunity to use the scroll he took from [[Zinnia]] in order to teach Rayquaza {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, which will allow it to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza continues attacking Ruby, Norman attempts to control it with the Green Orb core, only for it to fail. Ruby tells Norman to call Emerald and ask Hoopa to bring them back to Hoenn, as he plans on destroying the meteoroid with Sapphire. | Just as the process is completed, Norman and Ruby are shocked to see that Rayquaza has appeared in the skies.
