When Ash and his friends first arrived at the Battle Factory, they saw Noland having trouble with controlling one of his self-made vehicles. After using his Pokémon to stop the vehicle, Ash was introduced to Noland. Later, Noland called all of his numerous Pokémon to eat, and explained the high number of his Pokémon by telling that the more Pokémon he had, the more different kind of battles he could have. To Ash's surprise, Noland then allowed him to choose which Pokémon he wanted to face. Ash, however, had trouble choosing one Pokémon above another. Soon, Ash and his friends found out that the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}} they had seen last night was actually a friend of Noland's, which he had once saved with his plane when he had found it flying with a hurt wing. Ever since that, they had been good friends, often flying or even battling together, despite the fact that Articuno was technically a wild Pokémon. | When Ash and his friends first arrived at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}, they saw Noland having trouble with controlling one of his self-made vehicles.

Wanting to experience what it was like to fly with Articuno, [[Max]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} had went for a flight with Noland. Unfortunately, while they were flying, {{TRT}} showed up with their new [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], attempting to steal all the Battle Factory's Pokémon. Unfortunate for them, Noland sent Articuno against them, freeing the stolen Pokémon, destroying the mecha, and sending the trio blasting off once again. Later that evening, Ash surprised everyone by announcing that he wanted to battle against Articuno. Noland accepted the challenge, and Ash told that he was going to use his {{AP|Charizard}} in the battle, which he had called back from the [[Charicific Valley]]. | Wanting to experience what it was like to fly with Articuno, [[Max]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} had went for a flight with Noland.

Noland debuts in the {{chap|Emerald}}. He is one of the seven Trainers hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the Battle Frontier. Noland is first 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. Noland, having found Emerald's stunt insulting, decides that he will be the boy's first opponent. The next day, Emerald begins his challenge of the Battle Factory. After Emerald finishes the proper number of sets, he and Noland begin their battle. Despite Noland's powerful team and type advantages, he is eventually defeated, which earns Emerald the Knowledge Symbol. | Noland debuts in the {{chap|Emerald}}.

The next day, Noland begins investigating the rental Pokémon listed at the Battle Factory. He notes that the total number of Pokémon doesn't match up with previous numbers and the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} Emerald used to defeat him isn't listed anywhere. He suspects that someone must have broken in and smuggled some Pokémon into the rental Pokémon list, but before he can reach a conclusion, Noland is knocked out by the armored man, [[Guile Hideout]]. Noland is taken to a hospital, where the other Frontiers gather and suspect Emerald to be the culprit. They confront Emerald about the situation after he conquered the Battle Pyramid. Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}}. The six Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into [[Artisan Cave]] to find Jirachi. They leave the cave after suffering injuries from a run-in with Guile Hideout himself. | The next day, Noland begins investigating the rental Pokémon listed at the Battle Factory.

Scott lets Emerald challenge Greta at her facility directly, then holds a crunch meeting with the other five Frontier Brains. During the meeting, Noland appears to them, 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. | Scott lets Emerald challenge {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} at her facility directly, then holds a crunch meeting with the other five Frontier Brains.

The next day, Noland assists the other Frontier Brains in ushering people to the Battle Dome. Noland reveals the he captured three Smeargle from the Artisan Cave that copied Jirachi's {{m|Wish}} with {{m|Sketch}}. Noland plans on using the Smeargle's Wish to attract Jirachi, allowing them to capture it before Guile. The plan doesn't work as Guile discovers Jirachi first after it appears over the top of the Battle Dome and captures it. Guile uses the rental Pokémon to the attack innocent bystanders and heads to the Battle Tower to make his wish. The other Frontier Brains stay behind to help everyone while Noland heads off to inform Spenser and Anabel about the situation. Although he gets to Spenser, Noland is unable to get in contact with Anabel. After meeting up with Emerald, {{adv|Ruby}}, and {{adv|Sapphire}}, the three head to the Battle Tower. | The next day, Noland assists the other Frontier Brains in ushering people to the [[Battle Dome]].

When they arrive, Guile reveals that he put Anabel under his control. Guile forces the four to traverse the Battle Tower's seventy floors and challenge Anabel on the final floor. Emerald manages to get to Anabel first, but is defeated by the time everyone else arrives. Guile holds Anabel hostage and forces Noland to give him the fully deciphered Jirachi Report. When Noland is unsure about what to do, Guile attacks him and takes the report by force. Now knowing the secret to Jirachi's third eye, Guile has Jirachi create a gigantic {{p|Kyogre}} made of seawater and uses it to flood the entire Battle Frontier. Noland is knocked unconscious from the attack, forcing Emerald to have {{p|Latios}} take Noland and Anabel to safety. Noland later awakens and helps the Frontier Brains 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 Noland and the other Frontier Brains congratulate Emerald for the hard work he put into saving everyone. | When they arrive, Guile reveals that he put Anabel under his control.
