However, when Norman learned that Ash only had {{AP|Pikachu}} with him, he declined the Gym battle, as challengers needed three Pokémon for an official battle. He did agree to an unofficial battle, which Ash lost. It was also here where Ash first met May's younger brother [[Max]], who joined him and May on their {{pkmn|journey}}. | ||

In ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, and {{ho|Kenny}} saw Vigoroth hanging from a brunch at a place where Norman keeps his Pokémon. It then hugged Max. Team Rocket also planned to steal it for {{an|Giovanni}}, along with {{p|Slakoth}} and {{p|Slaking}}. When Ash arrived at the greenhouse, Vigoroth fell onto him. Ash was happy to see Vigoroth again. | |||
In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Vigoroth was the second Pokémon used by Norman in his official Gym battle with Ash. It initially managed to easily dodge {{AP|Torkoal}}'s {{m|Overheat}}, and knocked out Torkoal with {{m|Scratch}}. After this, it had an intense battle with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Norman ordered Vigoroth to use Scratch, but was surprised when Ash told Pikachu to take the hit. Vigoroth's Scratch attack hit home, but the powerful Pokémon was suddenly paralyzed by Pikachu's {{a|Static}} [[Ability]]. Seizing the opportunity, Pikachu attacked with {{m|Iron Tail}}, knocking Vigoroth out. However, Pikachu wasted all of his energy, and was also knocked out in the process. | |||
