Torterra, while still a Turtwig, first became partners with Paul when he started out as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Whilst both young and inexperienced, Paul and Turtwig experienced [[Reggie]]'s battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]], taking Reggie's loss to heart and striving to become better. | Torterra, while still a Turtwig, first became partners with Paul when he started out as a [[Pokémon Trainer]].

It debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where it was used in a battle against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. Quickly launching a powerful {{m|Giga Drain}} attack, Torterra was initially able to bring the {{pkmn|category|Mach Pokémon}} to her knees. This was followed up by a tremendous {{m|Frenzy Plant}}; however, Garchomp proved too powerful for Torterra and was able to withstand the attack with her fins before knocking out Torterra with a single {{m|Brick Break}} attack to the head. It was treated to recovery by Nurse Joy and {{an|Cynthia}} commented on how powerful Torterra was. | It debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where it was used in a battle against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]].

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Torterra helped Paul's brutal training of {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}. It fired {{m|Hyper Beam}} for Chimchar to dodge, followed by a {{m|Leaf Storm}} which trapped and badly injured Chimchar. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' it was used in the semi-finals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. It was paired off with [[Ash's Staravia]] and was up against [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Holly]]'s {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Paul showed total disregard for Ash, ordering Torterra to blast Farfetch'd with Hyper Beam, not caring that Staravia was hit as well. With Farfetch'd out, Croagunk challenged Torterra and managed to damage it with a powerful Brick Break to the head, similar to its battle against Garchomp. Before Croagunk could follow up, Torterra recharged and hit Croagunk with Leaf Storm, winning the round single-handedly. | In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Torterra helped Paul's brutal training of {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}.
