Over the next few days, Max and Jirachi bonded while the group took over {{TRT}}'s role as the clowns assisting Butler during his magic show. An {{p|Absol}} from Forina attacked the tent in search of Jirachi, but Butler captured it in a trapdoor cage and put it to sleep with his {{p|Kirlia}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}. The presence of Absol, a Pokémon who only appears before a terrible disaster, led Diane to fear what would happen if Butler went ahead with his plan, but she could not convince him to stop. After collecting the sleeping Jirachi and placing it in his rebuilt machine, Butler recalled his failure and firing from Team Magma before activating the device. When he forced Jirachi to absorb the Millenium Comet's energy using Dusclops's {{m|Psychic}}, the machine was unable to process it despite being upgraded and exploded once more. Butler, however, considered this failure a step forward as he merely needed to understand how to harness the Millenium Comet's energy, having witnessed its incredible power. Again, Diane begged him to stop, but he rejected her pleas. When Diane subsequently took Ash, {{ashfr}} and Jirachi and escaped to head back to Forina, Butler sent his {{p|Mightyena}} to place a tracker on their bus. Understanding where they were going, Butler mused that he had thought Diane would understand his motivations as he activated machinery hidden in the back of his truck. | Over the next few days, Max and Jirachi bonded while the group took over {{TRT}}'s role as the clowns assisting Butler during his magic show.

Several days later, Diane and Ash's group arrived in Forina, guided by Absol to the place where Jirachi would return to its thousand-year sleep. Butler anticipated this and traveled there to wait for them, setting up his machines and traps to ambush his opponents with. Just as Jirachi was about to go back to sleep, Butler struck, trapping Diane and Ash's group in an energy sphere while pulling Jirachi up to the platform where he had prepared the final version of his invention. This time, he was able to harness the energy of the Millenium Comet, and the machine began to draw an outline of Groudon in the earth below. A {{p|Flygon}} living in Forina helped free Butler's opponents from his trap and brought Ash and Max up to his platform, prompting him to send out his {{p|Salamence}} to repel them. The two {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon engaged in an aerial battle, pursuing each other around the hills of Forina. Ash and Max managed to reach Butler's machine and free Jirachi, but it was already too late; the shape of Groudon was complete, and what appeared to be the [[legendary Pokémon]] had begun to rise from the earth, much to Butler's pleasure.

His moment of victory did not last long, however, as the creature was not an actual Groudon but a manifestation of pure evil that merely resembled Groudon known as [[Meta Groudon]]. | ||
The | The Meta Groudon immediately started absorbing energy from the land around it, killing off all the plant life nearby, then sprouted tentacles to absorb the Pokémon of Forina and steal their energy as well. Horrified by this turn of events, Butler landed near the others and was nearly engulfed by one of Meta Groudon's tentacles after getting off Salamence's back. Diane sacrificed herself to save him, and her apparent demise sent Butler into a fury against the abomination he had created. He, Ash and Max worked to attack Meta Groudon with the respective help of Salamence and Flygon. After a short time, Butler realized what could be done to stop Meta Groudon and asked Ash and Max for help in using his machine and Jirachi to reabsorb the energy forming Meta Groudon's body. Though Ash and Max hesitated to trust him, Jirachi came to Butler's defense, saying that he was now acting out of his love for Diane. | ||
Ash and Max took Flygon to distract Groudon while Butler rode Salamence back to the platform and began reversing the machine's settings. As he tried to reverse the Groudon fossil, however, the platform shifted and he dropped it. Ash and Max recovered the fossil and returned it to him, and Jirachi willingly went back into the mechanism so the plan could be enacted. Just before Butler could throw the switch to start the process, he slipped and nearly fell off the side of the platform due to its shifting downward again. Flygon and Salamence tried one last time to distract Groudon, but they were absorbed as well. This did, however, buy enough time for Ash to make it to the switch and activate the machine. Driven out of control by Jirachi absorbing its energy, Groudon attacked the platform with all of its tentacles, but Butler threw himself in the way to protect Jirachi, resigning himself to his fate as it meant he could once again be with Diane. | Ash and Max took Flygon to distract Meta Groudon while Butler rode Salamence back to the platform and began reversing the machine's settings.

Shortly afterwards, Jirachi destroyed Groudon using {{m|Doom Desire}}, reviving all who had been absorbed by it. Butler and Diane reappeared near each other, and he rushed to her and embraced her in joy. The pair then watched as Max and his friends bade Jirachi farewell and sang to it as it returned to its slumber. The next day, Butler told the group that he had realized what was truly important and would be staying with Diane in Forina, but offered to bring them back to the town in their bus first. | Shortly afterwards, Jirachi destroyed Meta Groudon using {{m|Doom Desire}}, reviving all who had been absorbed by it.

Butler later appeared in a flashback during the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. He and Diane also made a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where they were living as farmers in Forina when [[Kidd Summers]] visited it. He later briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine {{pkmn|movie}}s. | Butler later appeared in a flashback during the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

Butler is shown to be both a talented magician and a brilliant {{tc|Scientist}}. Despite being a part of [[Team Magma]], he is never clearly associated with their larger agenda of expanding the world's landmass; he instead is driven to recreate {{p|Groudon}} seemingly to simply prove that his invention can do so. He is both flashy and emotional, reveling in the adoration of the crowds at his magic shows but, deep down, truly being motivated by his wish to simply do something he has always enjoyed alongside [[Diane]], who he deeply loves. All of these traits, however, were warped by his anger at Team Magma rejecting him, turning him into a dark, driven man obsessed with proving the [[villainous team]] wrong about him. Though he lost sight of himself, he ultimately returned to his senses and worked frantically to undo the catastrophe he unleashed, desperately trying to save Diane and stop | Butler is shown to be both a talented magician and a brilliant {{tc|Scientist}}.

Once the disaster was ended, Butler finally realized what was truly important to him and decided to retire from performing to live with Diane. He was last seen living peacefully with her in [[Forina]], the pair having become farmers. This showed that Butler dedicated himself to respecting and living from the land he had once destroyed. | Once the disaster was ended, Butler finally realized what was truly important to him and decided to retire from performing to live with Diane.
