In the Anime
Brandon is shrouded in mystery for most of the Battle Frontier saga. Unlike the other Brains, his silhouette is not shown on its own during the opening and is only seen in the centre of the group shot. Trainers will only find out the location of the Battle Pyramid after they have collected the other six symbols. When Ash finally gets his sixth in AG170, he learns that it is located near Pewter City.
However, Ash was possessed by an ancient king of the Pyramid who battled Brandon's Regirock with Ash's Sceptile. Sceptile unfortunately was defeated, though Ash eventually regained control of his body and the Pyramid was moved to an area near the Indigo Plateau.
For their second battle, Ash's Torkoal squared off against Brandon's Registeel. But he too was defeated by Brandon's legendary Pokemon.
When Ash and co met up with Brandon in a forest, a few episodes later, Brandon and Ash fought in an 4 vs 4 battle, in which Ash finally won.
Brandon owns a Regirock, Registeel, Regice, Ninjask, Solrock and Dusclops. He's the only character in anime to officially train Pokémon that have been deemed legendary.
In the Pokemon Special Manga
Brandon took witness to Emerald's battle with Noland and immediately refined his facility for him, just in case. He seems to carry a special dislike for Emerald, but treats him fairly - explaining the rules of the Battle Frontier and showing off his Pokémon to the boy before the challenge. He expects Emerald to be tired out during their confrontation, but is surprised to see that Emerald used a Phanpy's Pick Up ability to collect enough items to keep his team refreshed. Brandon says he favors one-hit KO moves like Explosion.
