Quotes
Initial battle
- Before battle
- "My physical being is with Pokémon always! My heart beats as one with Pokémon always! Young one of a Trainer! Do you believe in your Pokémon? Can you believe them through and through? If your bonds of trust are frail, you will never beat my brethren! The bond you share with your Pokémon! Prove it to me here!"
- Being defeated
- "Ah... Now this is something else..."
- If the player is defeated
- "Your Pokémon are wimpy because you're a wimpy Trainer!"
- After being defeated
- "Gwahahah! Hah, you never fell for my bluster! Sorry for trying that stunt! Here! Bring me the thing!"
- His assistant: "My, my, if only you could maintain that facade of distinguished authority... Here! Let's see your Frontier Pass!"
- "Your Pokémon's eyes are truly clear and unclouded. I will eagerly await the next opportunity to see you."
Rematch
- Before battle
- "Gwahahah! You've battled your way up again? You must have developed a truly formidable bond with your Pokémon. So be it! This time, I won't bluster or hold back. This time, there's no fooling around. Ready now? Prepare to lose! ... ... ...Kaaah!"
- Being defeated
- "Gwah! Hahahaha!"
- If the player is defeated
- "Gwahahaha! My brethren, we have nothing to fear!"
- After being defeated
- "Well, that was some display! Even fully unleashed, my brethren could not overpower you. You team spirit is truly admirable! Here! Bring me that thing, will you?"
- His assistant: "My, my, if only you could maintain a certain level of decorum... Gaaah, here! Hurry with that Frontier Pass, you!"
- "Gwahahah! Come see me time and again! My brethren and I will be waiting!"

In the anime
Spenser made his debut appearance in Cutting the Ties that Bind. He is a kind old man who specializes in herbal medicines, healing Ash's Sceptile when it apparently lost its fighting skills. While he usually rides on his Venusaur, he has a lot of stamina which is shown in battle. Spenser uses the whole of the island he lives on as a battlefield and so battles have an emphasis on nature and include a lot of running around.
In Ka Boom with a View!, Spenser used a Venusaur, Shiftry and Claydol in his battle against Ash, who used his Swellow, Heracross, and Sceptile. After having a heated battle, Spenser eventually lost due to Sceptile learning and using SolarBeam. Spenser made an appearance in a flashback in King and Queen for a Day and another flashback in A Pyramiding Rage along with Noland, Greta, Tucker, Lucy, and Anabel.
Pokémon
This listing is of Spenser's known Pokémon in the anime:
Spenser's Venusaur was the second Pokémon chosen by Spenser to go against Ash. It managed to defeat Ash's Heracross, but finally lost to Swellow. | ||

Spenser's Chansey was used to heal the wounds of Ash's Sceptile.
Chansey's only known move is Heal Bell. | ||

Shiftry first appeared in Ka Boom with a View!, where it was the first Pokémon to be sent against Ash, while he chose Sceptile. Before using any move, Shiftry dodged the Bullet Seed from Sceptile and was told to move to the jungle. It had immense speed, but Sceptile was just as fast, as it followed close behind. After the two Grass types reached a small waterfall, both continued their duel. Shiftry managed to push Sceptile into the pool of water, then used Rock Smash to send rocks down into the pool. However, Sceptile escaped up through the waterfall and landed a hit on Shiftry, knocking it out, and winning Ash the first victory.
It reappeared in a flashback in King and Queen for a Day. Shiftry's known moves are Shadow Ball, Quick Attack, Double Team, and Rock Smash. | ||

Spenser fought alongside Lucy during the press show-off of the Battle Frontier during its grand opening, using a Crobat with Poison Fang. Having touched the Blue Orb before, Spenser is able to recognize people who have once held the Blue Orb, such as Sapphire. However, it is this very ability that led Ruby and Sapphire to think that he was Guile Hideout.
Pokémon
Crobat is Spenser's main Pokémon. It was used to battle a Swalot and Electrode in the opening of the Battle Frontier. Despite the type-disadvantage, Crobat, with the assistance of Lucy's Seviper, was able to defeat them. During Spenser's match with Emerald, it was one of the three Pokémon Spenser chose to battle him, only for it to get called off due to Guile Hideout's capture of Jirachi. Crobat went up against Emerald's Sudowoodo in Spenser's flashback. It was later seen battling against Guile Hideout after he sent out the rental Pokémon.
Crobat's known moves are Poison Fang and Air Cutter. | ||
