He's been hanging around here where he can have different battles than in the Pokémon League. Anyway, I came to bring him back, but it looks like he dodged me... Well, I said what I came to say. I'm going back to Ever Grande. You're going to try your luck at the Battle Maison, too, right? If you see that guy, say hi for me. See you later."

Sidney in Pokémon Adventures

Sidney debuts in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. He and the other Elite Four members were called by Steven to help protect the Hoenn region from the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Sidney was initially stationed at Desert Ruins as part of the plan to unseal Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. When the titans are unsealed, Sidney is tasked with controlling Regirock alongside Drake. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three Pokémon in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Sidney later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of Ruby's Celebi.

Sidney in the thirteenth chapter

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, Sidney, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta, a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Sidney and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of Mega Rayquaza, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.
