She rode the frozen webs and finished the battle with a powerful , which was her first major accomplishment on May's team.
In Weekend Warrior, May was still deciding which Pokémon to use in the upcoming Pokémon Contest. She sent out Squirtle, but she was not very satisfied with how she came out of her Poké Ball as she needed Squirtle's entrance to be flashier. Squirtle took May's comments to heart and disappeared from her sight for a little while, only to return using accessories made out of flowers to look more appealing and impress her . May reassured Squirtle that she would always look cute in her eyes, and when the Silver Contest got underway, she used her in the Appeals Round. Squirtle began by using Ice Beam while spinning around and then proceeded to use Bubble, creating one large bubble surrounded by several smaller ones. After that, she jumped on the large bubble and used her Ice Beam to destroy the surrounding bubbles and used Ice Beam once more, this time aiming on the large bubble.

In What I Did for Love!, Squirtle was used in the appeal round of the Gardenia Town Pokémon Contest. She used Rapid Spin to create waves of dust, followed up with Bubble to create a tall pyramid before using Ice Beam to freeze the structure, ending with a strong appeal.
In Going for Choke!, Squirtle participated in the Mulberry Contest. She won a match against a Trainer's by points and later went up against Jessie, who was borrowing Harley's . Squirtle hid in her shell with and to avoid taking too much damage while bouncing around the stadium to find an opening to strike.

In Thinning the Hoard!, Squirtle was used in a two-on-two Contest Battle alongside May's Combusken against Drew's and in the of the Kanto Grand Festival.

===Personality and characteristics===
While she was a Squirtle, Wartortle demonstrated a personality that was distinct from Ash's Squirtle, as she was much younger and smaller, mainly because she was intended to be a first partner Pokémon. She was also relatively shy and was a bit of a crybaby. However, as time passed, she grew considerably as she started to cry less. As a Wartortle, she's shown a more boisterous attitude with no signs of the tears that defined her as a Squirtle. Much like May's Bulbasaur, Squirtle has a love for flowers and would often disappear to find some she could admire. Her love for flowers was also shown in Weekend Warrior, when she attempted to use flowers as an accessories for the Silver Town Pokémon Contest.
