Sceptile (Japanese: ジュカイン Jukain) is the Pokémon Emerald stole from the Battle Factory.

With Professor Birch

As a Treecko, Sceptile was one of the three starters Professor Birch was giving out to new trainers. Unfortunately, while transporting it over the ocean to give to Emerald, it was lost in the waves of the sea in Pokémon Association Afloat.

With Wally

Wally kept Treecko after finding it in Route 123 during the storm at Pacifidlog Town . He saw Professor Birch's bag floating adrift in the water, and ordered his Cacnea to carefully use Needle Arm to shoot the Poké Ball containing it into the air carefully, then commanded {{p|Kecleon} to use it's long tongue to draw it forward. Following his act, he hears a clapping then looks up and sees man on a Flygon. The man soon lands, and Wally's Ralts (that was given to him by ) head ridge begins glowing, and that only happens if it meets someone it knows. It is Norman, Ruby's father. He compliments him on his skill, but asks why he took such a risky move by using Needle Arm. Wally tells him he has belief in his Pokémon.

After Norman offers Wally a training session on the Sky Pillar, on the inside of it Norman gives Wally two wrist guards that contain PokéBalls 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 many Claydol, Sableye, and Banette. He escapes but eventually finds himself staring at a red dot that reveals itself to be a Dusclops. Wally reaches into his bag and notices a Pokédex and Treecko's Poké Ball. Treecko then starts beating inside of its Poké Ball, and is directed towards 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. Afterwords, Wally scans the PokéBall containing Treecko and sees that its evolved form can learn a move that is able to damage Dusclops. He sends out Treecko and as soon as it materializes it evolves into Grovyle. It releases a strong Leaf Blade that causes a forcible impact. It knocks out the Dusclops, and Wally thanks it for the help then passes out due to his medical condition.

Hours later, Wally awakes to Norman. Norman congratulates him on thinking of using Leaf Blade. Wally is surprised on how well he can breath, then Norman explains that they're on top of the Spear Pillar, and the air is less thick. Norman gives Wally his Flygon, and they start the actual training. A few days later, Wally and Norman are battling when the Spear Pillar starts quaking. Norman's true plan has succeeded: awakening Rayquaza. He tells Wally he must battle it, so Wally does so.

During the battle, Grovyle is knocked off the Sky Pillar and is lost once again. Afterwords Wally loses consciousness once again, 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, Groudon and Kyogre.

With the Battle Factory and Emerald

Grovyle eventually ended up in the Battle Factory as a rental Pokémon, but as a Sceptile. Emerald was the one to receive it during his Battle Factory run. While in the Battle Factory, Sceptile goes crazy but Emerald manages to calm it down with the dirt in his E-Shooter. Much later, during the battle at the Battle Dome, Sceptile sees Ruby's Swampert (Zuzu) and Sapphire's Blaziken (Toro). It rushes towards them and remembers his past at Birch's lab, revealing to Emerald that it is the Pokémon he was meant to receive as his starter.

Sceptile helped Emerald through most of his Battle Frontier run, and nearing the end of the Emerald Series Sapphire and Ruby acquire rings made by Kimberly. They soon all teach their starter Pokémon the ultimate attacks.
