The Scanner first appeared in Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II, where Courtney and Tabitha managed to steal it from the Abandoned Ship, despite the intervention of Ruby and Sapphire. Blaise later modified the Scanner, fixing the broken equipment, and enabling it to track the Red and Blue Orbs on Mt. Pyre.

The Scanner reappeared under Blaise's ownership, using it to track the orbs as they returned to Hoenn alongside Archie and Maxie.
