-In ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', {{Ash}} originally caught Torterra as a Turtwig. He had been living in the forest near [[Clara]]'s home, and he broke up fights among [[wild Pokémon]] in the area. After {{TRT}} stole [[Ash's Pikachu]], their {{TP|Team Rocket|balloon|mechas}} crashed, and Turtwig defended Pikachu against them. When Ash and {{ashfr}} appeared, Turtwig assumed they were trying to wrongfully steal Pikachu too, so he attacked them and ran off with an exhausted Pikachu in tow. The next time they confronted Turtwig, the misunderstanding was explained, and Turtwig apologetically befriended Ash. At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends began to leave, and the old woman encouraged Turtwig to go with Ash, so he ran to challenge him to a battle. Ash accepted his challenge, and Turtwig and Pikachu {{pkmn|battle}}d where Ash was able to catch Turtwig.

At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends began to leave, and the old woman encouraged Turtwig to go with Ash, so he ran to challenge him to a battle. Ash accepted his challenge, facing him with Pikachu and eventually catching him.
 As Turtwig, he was a brave yet kind Pokémon with high confidence for his small size. He apparently had a strong jaw, as he was often seen latching himself onto people and Pokémon's heads, tails, hats, and appendages to attack or show affection. he has done this to Ash as well, the behavior somewhat resembling that of [[James's Victreebel]], {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. He has also been shown to be both incredibly fast and quite strong, such as the time when he used Bite on [[Roark's Rampardos]] on its tail and threw the {{pkmn|category|Head Butt Pokémon}} into a rock, after which {{an|Brock}} said, "Big things come in small packages!"

 Overall, he has taken part in five of Ash's [[Gym]] battles. As a Turtwig, he defeated Roark's Cranidos in [[DP016|their first battle]], and [[DP018|in the rematch]], defeated the newly-[[Evolution|evolved]] Rampardos, giving Ash his first {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge|Sinnoh Badge}}.

-In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', Turtwig was first sent out to rescue [[Cheryl]] from vines with his Razor Leaf. He stayed out of his Poké Ball and was later found by [[Gardenia]], who found him cute. He later battled as Ash's first Pokémon against Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} in their unofficial two vs two battle. Turtwig used Tackle, hitting Cherubi, and then used multiple Razor Leaf attacks, hitting Cherubi the first time, but Cherubi dodged without receiving any commands. Impressed with Turtwig, Gardenia recalled Cherubi, with Brock speculating that Gardenia used Cherubi to check out Ash's Turtwig. Gardenia used her {{p|Turtwig}}, who overwhelmed Ash's Turtwig with its superior speed and easily defeated it.

Gardenia next used her {{p|Turtwig}}, who overwhelmed Ash's Turtwig with its superior speed and easily defeated it.
-In ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', Turtwig was Ash's first Pokémon in his [[Eterna Gym]] battle against Gardenia, going up against her {{p|Cherubi}} again. Turtwig ended up struggling against Cherubi due to its Ability {{a|Chlorophyll}}, so Ash chose to eventually recall him. He later called him out to face Gardenia's Turtwig again. This time, Ash's Turtwig was prepared for his opponents speedy strategies and was able to defeat it. He went up against Gardenia's final Pokémon, {{p|Roserade}}. Due to the [[harsh sunlight]] present during the battle, Roserade's {{m|Weather Ball}} turned into a {{type|Fire}} move, allowing the Bouquet Pokémon to snatch an easy victory.

 In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Turtwig was used in the quarterfinals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. He was paired up with Paul's Chimchar, who was still weak from earlier training, and was up against a {{p|Zangoose}} and a {{p|Metagross}}. The two quickly become overwhelmed due to Chimchar being too weak and afraid of Zangoose to make any attacks. The situation became even worse when Paul ordered Chimchar to use a friendly fire {{m|Flame Wheel}} on Turtwig, seriously injuring him, before getting caught in Zangoose's claws. Turtwig saved it, and Chimchar made up for this by protecting him from a {{m|Fire Blast}} attack on its own accord. Realizing that not even reliving the traumatic event of being attacked by Zangoose could motivate Chimchar to activate Blaze, Paul gave up on it and refused to give it any more commands. Consequently, Ash gave Chimchar commands from then on, and the three went on to win the battle.

 In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Ash used Torterra as his first Pokémon during his rematch with Volkner, sending him against Volkner's {{p|Electivire}}. Despite Torterra's massive type advantage, Electivire was able to counter almost all of his moves and defeat him with a powerful {{m|Ice Punch}}.

-Ash used Torterra as his fifth Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. He was sent out against Paul's {{p|Drapion}}, whose {{m|Toxic Spikes}} {{status|poison}}ed him instantly. He battled well and was able to cause Drapion some damage with his Energy Ball and Leaf Storm attacks, but his Rock Climb attack was stopped cold by Drapion, who knocked him down with {{m|Poison Fang}}. Torterra healed himself with Synthesis, but despite this, he was immediately defeated by Drapion's super effective {{m|Pin Missile}} barrage.

 Ash left Torterra at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Unova]].
