===With [[Professor Birch]]===
[[File:Wally Treecko.png|thumb|120px|left|As a Treecko]]
[[File:Wally Treecko.png|thumb|120px|left|As a Treecko]]
As a {{p|Treecko}}, Sceptile was one of the three starters Professor Birch was giving out to new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. While transporting him over the ocean to give to {{adv|Emerald}}, he was lost in the waves of the sea in ''[[PS239|VS. Kyogre & Groudon VII]]''.
As a {{p|Treecko}}, Sceptile was one of the three starters [[Professor Birch]] was giving out to new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. During the battle between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, Birch became trapped on top of a tree in an attempt to get away from the flood. Before the Trainer that Treecko was promised to could arrive to receive it from Birch, a wave hit the tree, washing Treecko and a Pokédex away.


===With {{adv|Wally}}===
===With {{adv|Wally}}===
[[File:Wally Grovyle.png|thumb|180px|right|As a Grovyle]]
[[File:Wally Grovyle.png|thumb|180px|right|As a Grovyle]]
Wally kept Treecko after finding it on Route {{rtn|123|Hoenn}} during the storm at [[Pacifidlog Town]]. He saw Professor Birch's bag floating adrift in the water, and ordered his {{p|Cacturne}} to carefully use {{m|Needle Arm}} to shoot the [[Poké Ball]] contained in it into the air. Then, he deftly commanded his {{p|Kecleon}} to use his long tongue to draw it forward. Following his act, he looks up and sees a man on a {{p|Flygon}}, who is Ruby's father, Norman. He soon lands, and Wally's {{p|Ralts}}' head ridge begins glowing, indicating that he was someone Rara knew. After Norman offers Wally a training session on the [[Sky Pillar]], on the inside of it Norman gives Wally two wrist guards that contain Poké Balls on them. Norman then boards his Flygon and tells Wally he will be waiting at the top. While traveling in the Sky Pillar, Wally and his team encounter a red dot that reveals itself to be a {{p|Dusclops}}. Wally reaches into his bag and notices the [[Pokédex]] and Treecko's Poké Ball ringing. Treecko then starts beating inside of its Poké Ball, and directs toward the Pokédex. Wally believes Treecko is telling him to scan its data. Wally does so, and notices that Dusclops' body is an infinite cavity that may be entered, but cannot be left. Afterwards, Wally scans the Poké Ball containing Treecko and sees that his evolved form can learn a move that is able to damage Dusclops. He sends out Treecko and as soon as he materializes, he evolves into {{p|Grovyle}}. He releases a strong {{m|Leaf Blade}} that causes a forcible impact with the shockwave. He knocks out the Dusclops, and Wally thanks it for the help, then passes out due to his medical condition.
The bag holding Treecko and the Pokédex eventually made its way to {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, where it was found by {{adv|Wally}}. After saving it, Wally had his Pokémon nurse the exhausted Treecko back to health.
 
During his climb of the [[Sky Pillar]], Treecko returned the favor by saving Wally from falling off a crumbling floor. On the last floor, Wally encounters a wild {{p|Dusclops}}, which threatened to suck everything into a black hole it created. Although reluctant since it wasn't his Pokémon, Wally decides to trust in Treecko's power and sends him out to face the Beckon Pokémon. Immediately upon being sent out, Treecko evolved into a {{p|Grovyle}} and broke through the black hole with {{m|Leaf Blade}}, defeating its opponent in the process.
 
When Wally was tasked with awakening {{p|Rayquaza}} on the peak of the Sky Pillar, Grovyle was used to battle the Sky High Pokémon. With a powerful {{m|Bullet Seed}}, Grovyle broke through Rayquaza's ozone barrier, awakening it. The impact sent both Wally and Grovyle flying, separating the two.  
 
===With Emerald===
Grovyle eventually landed on some island, where it quickly evolved into its final stage, {{p|Sceptile}}. There, he was knocked unconscious and captured by [[Guile Hideout]], who planned to smuggle it and several other Pokémon to drive out the media in preparation for his capture of {{p|Jirachi}}. The shock of these events caused Sceptile to block them out of his memories, but he still retained an interest in the Pokédex.
 
Sceptile was put into the Battle Factory, where he was eventually found by Emerald in his battle against {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}. Immediately upon being sent out, Sceptile went on a rampage, and began attacking Emerald. Emerald manages to calm Sceptile down with his E Shooter, bringing it back under his control. Emerald proceeded to use Sceptile to beat Noland's {{p|Golem}}, and after some trouble, his {{p|Glalie}} as well. Later, Emerald decided to keep Sceptile, as he finds out that it was level 51, indicating that it's not a rental Pokémon, which are supposed to be level 50.
 
During his run in the Battle Pyramid, Emerald used Sceptile in his battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, where it faced his {{p|Regirock}}. Sceptile managed to get the upper hand by absorbing Regirock's health with {{m|Leech Seed}}, but was greatly damaged by an {{m|Explosion}}. When Emerald's other Pokémon are defeated, Sceptile is used to defeat Brandon's {{p|Regice}} with a super effective {{m|Iron Tail}}. When Brandon asks how Sceptile came back, Emerald revealed that he used a Revive on Sceptile when Brandon got distracted.


Hours later, Wally awakes to Norman. Norman congratulates him on thinking of using Leaf Blade. Norman gives Wally his Flygon, and they start the actual training. A few days later, Wally and Norman are battling when the Sky Pillar starts quaking. Norman's true plan has succeeded: awakening {{p|Rayquaza}}. He tells Wally he must battle it, so Wally does so with Rara's {{m|Imprison}} and Grovyle's {{m|Bullet Seed}}.  
During Emerald's challenge of the Battle Arena, Sceptile was used to battle {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Heracross}}. The battle lasted three turns and had the result determined by score, which had Heracross named the victor.


During the battle, Grovyle is knocked off the Sky Pillar and is lost once again. Afterwards Wally loses consciousness another time, but Norman is no longer on the Sky Pillar. The last thing Wally sees is Norman riding Rayquaza on his way of attempting to stop the fight between the two titans, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. Having failed to return the now-evolved Pokémon, Wally decides to return the Pokédex he knew wasn't his own to keep, as well as the {{p|Kirlia}} that he borrowed as a Ralts.
During the Battle Dome challenge, Sceptile is used to advance Emerald throughout the tournament. Eventually, it goes up against {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{adv|Mimi}} in the semifinal round. Although frozen by a powerful {{m|Blizzard}}, Sceptile manages to regain its lost memories, giving it the strength to break through its icy prison and defeat Mimi, giving Emerald the win. With its memories returned, Sceptile began attacking {{adv|Ruby}}, as he was furious over when Ruby called [[Mumu]] better than it in terms of appearance.


===With the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}} and Emerald===
After losing to Tucker, Emerald challenged the Battle Palace next. When Emerald learns that [[Guile Hideout]] had captured {{p|Jirachi}}, Emerald left Sceptile, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and {{p|Dusclops}} to battle Spenser by themselves while he went to face Guile. Later, {{p|Latios}} returns Emerald's Pokémon, along with the Spirits Symbol they had won in the battle.
Grovyle eventually ended up in the Battle Factory as a [[rental Pokémon]], but as a Sceptile, smuggled in by [[Guile Hideout]] to drive out the media in preparation for his capture of {{p|Jirachi}}. Emerald was the one to receive it during his Battle Factory run. While in the Battle Factory, Sceptile goes crazy against his battle with {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} but Emerald manages to calm him down with the dirt in his E-Shooter, gaining his loyalty. After winning the battle with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}}, Emerald realizes that he was never meant to be a rental Pokémon based on the fact that he emerged unscathed from Noland's Lvl 50 {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Sheer Cold}}, the reason of which was revealed by his [[PokéNav]] that its level was higher (51). Much later, during the battle at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}}, Sceptile sees [[Mumu|Ruby's Swampert (''Mumu'')]] and [[Chic|Sapphire's Blaziken (''Chic'')]]. He rushes towards them and remembers his past at Birch's lab, revealing to Emerald that he is the Pokémon Emerald was meant to receive as his starter.  


Sceptile helped Emerald through most of his {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} run, and nearing the end of the {{chap|Emerald}}, Sapphire and Ruby acquire rings made by [[Kimberly]]. With that, Sceptile was able to learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.
During the final battle with Guile, Emerald is given one of the bangles possessed by [[Kimberly]]. With it, he teaches Sceptile the ultimate {{type|Grass}} move, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. With the power of Frenzy Plant, Sceptile teams up with the Pokémon of the nine other Pokédex holders to destroy Guile's monster {{p|Kyogre}} with a powerful Frenzy Plant, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} combination.

Emerald's Sceptile (Japanese: エメラルドのジュカイン Emerald's Jukain) is the Pokémon that Emerald has received in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

History

As a Treecko

As a Treecko, Sceptile was one of the three starters Professor Birch was giving out to new Trainers. During the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, Birch became trapped on top of a tree in an attempt to get away from the flood. Before the Trainer that Treecko was promised to could arrive to receive it from Birch, a wave hit the tree, washing Treecko and a Pokédex away.

With Wally

As a Grovyle

The bag holding Treecko and the Pokédex eventually made its way to Route 123, where it was found by Wally. After saving it, Wally had his Pokémon nurse the exhausted Treecko back to health.

During his climb of the Sky Pillar, Treecko returned the favor by saving Wally from falling off a crumbling floor. On the last floor, Wally encounters a wild Dusclops, which threatened to suck everything into a black hole it created. Although reluctant since it wasn't his Pokémon, Wally decides to trust in Treecko's power and sends him out to face the Beckon Pokémon. Immediately upon being sent out, Treecko evolved into a Grovyle and broke through the black hole with Leaf Blade, defeating its opponent in the process.

When Wally was tasked with awakening Rayquaza on the peak of the Sky Pillar, Grovyle was used to battle the Sky High Pokémon. With a powerful Bullet Seed, Grovyle broke through Rayquaza's ozone barrier, awakening it. The impact sent both Wally and Grovyle flying, separating the two.

With Emerald

Grovyle eventually landed on some island, where it quickly evolved into its final stage, Sceptile. There, he was knocked unconscious and captured by Guile Hideout, who planned to smuggle it and several other Pokémon to drive out the media in preparation for his capture of Jirachi. The shock of these events caused Sceptile to block them out of his memories, but he still retained an interest in the Pokédex.

Sceptile was put into the Battle Factory, where he was eventually found by Emerald in his battle against Noland. Immediately upon being sent out, Sceptile went on a rampage, and began attacking Emerald. Emerald manages to calm Sceptile down with his E Shooter, bringing it back under his control. Emerald proceeded to use Sceptile to beat Noland's Golem, and after some trouble, his Glalie as well. Later, Emerald decided to keep Sceptile, as he finds out that it was level 51, indicating that it's not a rental Pokémon, which are supposed to be level 50.

During his run in the Battle Pyramid, Emerald used Sceptile in his battle against Brandon, where it faced his Regirock. Sceptile managed to get the upper hand by absorbing Regirock's health with Leech Seed, but was greatly damaged by an Explosion. When Emerald's other Pokémon are defeated, Sceptile is used to defeat Brandon's Regice with a super effective Iron Tail. When Brandon asks how Sceptile came back, Emerald revealed that he used a Revive on Sceptile when Brandon got distracted.

During Emerald's challenge of the Battle Arena, Sceptile was used to battle Greta's Heracross. The battle lasted three turns and had the result determined by score, which had Heracross named the victor.

During the Battle Dome challenge, Sceptile is used to advance Emerald throughout the tournament. Eventually, it goes up against Ruby's Mimi in the semifinal round. Although frozen by a powerful Blizzard, Sceptile manages to regain its lost memories, giving it the strength to break through its icy prison and defeat Mimi, giving Emerald the win. With its memories returned, Sceptile began attacking Ruby, as he was furious over when Ruby called Mumu better than it in terms of appearance.

After losing to Tucker, Emerald challenged the Battle Palace next. When Emerald learns that Guile Hideout had captured Jirachi, Emerald left Sceptile, Sudowoodo, and Dusclops to battle Spenser by themselves while he went to face Guile. Later, Latios returns Emerald's Pokémon, along with the Spirits Symbol they had won in the battle.

During the final battle with Guile, Emerald is given one of the bangles possessed by Kimberly. With it, he teaches Sceptile the ultimate Grass-type move, Frenzy Plant. With the power of Frenzy Plant, Sceptile teams up with the Pokémon of the nine other Pokédex holders to destroy Guile's monster Kyogre with a powerful Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and Volt Tackle combination.
