History

Russet debuted in Curtain Up, Unova League! on the screen of the preliminary match-ups. After that, he reappeared in Mission: Defeat Your Rival! on the screen showing the match-ups for the second round, meaning that he had made it through the first round. In Lost at the League!, it was revealed that he had made it through the second and third rounds as well when he appeared on the screens again. Later in the episode, when Iris's Axew got lost, he appeared with his friends and family, celebrating his progress.

He battled Manning in the fourth round in Strong Strategy Steals the Show! and won, making his way to the quarterfinals. In A Unova League Evolution!, he battled Virgil and lost, placing him in the Top 8. Afterwards, he appeared once again during the closing ceremonies of the Vertress Conference.
