In the Pokémon Special manga
At the beginning of the Battle Frontier saga, Tucker was assaulted by Emerald while riding to the Battle Frontier Opening Ceremony on his Salamence. Tucker was avidly tied up and thrown backstage during the opening ceremony, where he is found by the other Brains. They let him go and he starts yelling at Emerald, on stage. Scott tells him to be quiet, and Tucker grows a flaming grudge against Emerald. Tucker bears witness to Emerald's victory over Noland, and immediately makes the boy come to his facility. However, the Battle Dome is actually Emerald's fifth challenge.
Unlike the games, Tucker actually takes part in the tournaments rather than just challenging a trainer after winning a set number of tournaments.

Trivia
- Tucker is the only Frontier Brain that Ash never used any of the Pokémon that he captured in Kanto or Johto to battle with.
