Ben made his debut in the game's anime special, [[SS022|Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (Part One)]] where he attempted to stop the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] from gaining control of other Pokémon. However, he was later attacked, which caused him to come crashing down to an island where the Ukulele {{p|Pichu}} was located.

However, he was eventually attacked during his mission by [[Red Eyes]], and he crash-landed on [[Dolce Island]] where he captured a [[Ukulele Pichu]].
 
In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (anime special)#Part 2|Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (Part 2)]]'', Ben flew over to [[Rasp Cavern]] on [[Renbow Island]] to disrupt the Pinchers' attempts to steal a [[Ranger Sign]]. While Red Eyes and his crew escaped with the Sign, Ben managed to free a {{p|Cranidos}} in the process. He chased after the fleeing Pokémon Pinchers, and they were all confronted by a more daunting opponent, {{p|Raikou}}.

Ben made his main series debut in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'', where he was assigned to bring a rare {{p|Heatran}} that knows {{m|Eruption}} to the National Park for its own safety. His first attempt was interrupted by {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|RoboDiglett]], and he lost his [[Capture Styler]] as a result.

Ben made his debut appearance in the main series in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' where he was assigned to bring a rare {{p|Heatran}} that knows {{m|Eruption}} to a wild park for its safety.  
Meanwhile, Ben encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after falling into a river, and he enlisted their help with his mission. Using the increase in ground temperature as a guide, Ben lead them up a mountain and through a cave system, where they soon encountered the special Heatran. Team Rocket appeared again, but the nabbed Capture Styler failed to operate as it was synchronized with Ben. The trio resorted to their RoboDiglett, but the unfolding battle caused the cave system to begin collapsing. Eventually, with the help of Ash's group, he managed to capture Heatran via his Capture Styler and helped it escape to safety.


He was also shown to have a very optimistic attitude, thanks to his grandfather's advice when he was younger. Eventually with the help of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|company}}, he managed to capture Heatran via his [[Capture Styler]] and helped it escape to safety.
===Character===
Ben is remarkably optimistic even in the most difficult of situations. He attributes his positive outlook to his grandfather, who encouraged him to give everything a go. Ben is also highly knowledgeable and uses his field experience, such as feeling the ground for increasing heat to locate {{p|Heatran}} in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''.
