===Anime===
 
 
Brandon made his first appearance in the [[Pokémon Anime|Anime series]] in the episode, ''Battling the Enemy Within''. Upon discovering a Pyramid in [[Pewter City]], [[Ash]] and his friends explore the area, setting off some traps, causing Brandon to come and save him. While continuing exploration with Brandon, [[Ash]] later is possessed by [[King of Pokélantis|a spirit of an evil king]] and battles Brandon. Brandon uses [[Regirock]] and defeats Ash's [[Ash's Sceptile|Sceptile]] with a [[Hyper Beam]] and Lock-on combo then seal him again. In the end of episode, Brandon correct Ash that the evil spirit was defeated by himself because his reckless.
 
 
Brandon's next appearance was in the episode ''Overjoyed!'', where [[Ash]] again battles him. Using [[Ash's Torkoal|Torkoal]] against Brandon's [[Registeel]], [[Ash]] is eventually defeated.
 
 
His next appearance was in the episode ''Gathering the Gang of Four'' where [[Ash]] meets Brandon a third time in a forest. Once again the two battle, this time using four [[Pokémon]] each, though he is defeated in the end.
 
 
In his next appearance during the episode ''Pace, the Final Frontier'', [[Ash]] battles Brandon for the Bravery Symbol in the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Using a team of [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]], [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]], [[Ash's Squirtle|Squirtle]], and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Ash]] takes on Brandon's [[Brandon's Dusclops|Dusclops]], [[Ninjask]], [[Solrock]], and [[Regice]]. Both battled to their very last Pokémon, until it was [[Pikachu]] versus [[Regice]], with [[Pikachu]] as the victor.
 
 
Brandon reappeared in Sinnoh in ''A Pyramiding Rage'' where he appeared in Snowpoint City looking for Regigigas. At the time Ash, Dawn, Brock, Zoey, Paul and Reggie were all in Snowpoint and went to meet Brandon. There Paul challenged Brandon to a battle, who accepted sending his assistant Sam and Temple Maiden Maria to go on ahead to the Snowpoint Temple. However Brandon easily defeated Paul using his three Regis. After Reggie, Paul, Zoey and gym leader Candice leave, Maria and Same arrive informing the group of a mysterious group of people blocking off the temple. In ''Pillars of Friendship'', Hunter J destroys three pillars guarding Regigigas, and despite Brandon and Maria's protests uses Salamence's Flamethrower on the Orb of Regigigas, awakening it and sending it into a rage. Brandon uses his Regirock, Regice and Registeel in an attempt to capture the Colossal Pokémon, only to be foiled by J. However, due to Regigigas' Confuse Ray, the three Regis go as feral as Regigigas to protect it. When the three Regis sacrifice their own lives to protect Regigigas, Brandon follows suit, being the first human to be frozen by Hunter J's laser cannon and in turn calms Regigigas. When J retreats due to her client being scared off by the commotion, Regigigas restores Brandon and the Regis to their former state.
 
 
After, Brandon decides to help rebuild the Snowpoint temple which was partially destroyed during the conflict. He is currently in Snowpoint as of the latest Japanese episode, as Paul says he is returning to challenge Brandon in Snowpoint.
