Quotes

Sootopolis Gym
  • Before battle
"Let me ask you. Did you know? Ah, I should not be so coy. It was I who taught Wallace everything there is to know about Pokémon. Once, I had given up my position as the Gym Leader. In my place, I had entrusted Wallace with the Gym. However, a compelling reason arose for me to make a comeback. Ah, but enough chatter. Let us begin our match, shall we? Please, you shall bear witness to our artistry. A grand illusion of water sculpted by Pokémon and myself!"
  • Being defeated
"Ahahaha, excellent! Very well, you are the winner. From you, I sense the brilliant shine of skill that will overcome all. However, compared with me or even Wallace, you are lacking in elegance. Perhaps I should make you a loan of my outfit? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Hahaha, I merely jest! Rather than my clothes, I shall reward you with this, the Rain Badge."
  • After being defeated
"Having the Rain Badge shall assure you the full obedience of all your Pokémon to your every command. The Rain Badge also allows the use of the HM move Waterfall to scale walls of cascading water. And, so that you never forget the battle we shared, take this..."
"The Technical Machine I handed you contains Water Pulse. In use, it will occasionally confuse the target with ultrasonic waves."
"The Trainers who have gathered all the Gym Badges of Hoenn should make way to the ultimate destination. The Pokémon League. Travel to the easternmost reaches of Hoenn, to the island of Ever Grande. There, you shall find the Pokémon League."
Rematch
  • Calling the player (ready for a rematch):
"Hoho... <player>... Our Sootopolis Gym has finally reopened. If you wish to see me, you are welcome to visit anytime."
  • Before battle
"Ah, this Gym had returned to its usual state of serenity... But our young typhoon has returned to put us to the test again! Well, my friend, most certainly! I shall be delighted to dance with you as often as you wish!"
  • Being defeated
"Ahahaha, you are the winner! You have defeated me again!"
  • After being defeated
"If I told you to become my apprentice, you will refuse, I am sure. I would like to make a gift of my coat to you. But again, you will refuse. I imagine that to be so. And that, my friend, is a certain sign of nobility!"

With its elegant grace and power, it was able to gain the upper hand against Ash. It defeated Ash's Swellow with Hydro Pump and Twister and put up a good fight against Pikachu as well thanks to its ability to Recover after Electric attacks and drawing in Pikachu's Thunder with Iron Tail. However, Pikachu pulled Milotic below the water and then used Thunder to defeat it earning Ash the Rain Badge.

The second round of his battle with Ash, Juan chose Luvdisc against Grovyle. Luvdisc started out with Water Pulse, but Grovyle dodged in time and countered with Leaf Blade. Luvdisc, however, was fast enough to dodge that attack and use Sweet Kiss, confusing Grovyle. Grovyle hit itself in confusion, and Luvdisc finished it off with Water Gun, which resulted in a loss for Grovyle despite the type advantage. Ash switched back to Corphish. The two Pokémon kept dodging each other's attacks, until Luvdisc dived underwater and Ash ordered Corphish to hit the water with Crabhammer. Corphish's attack, however, sprayed the battlefield with water, simulating heavy rain, which activated Luvdisc's Ability, Swift Swim, allowing it to move even faster than before. Eventually, though, Corphish managed to hit Luvdisc with another Crabhammer, taking it out of the battle.

Juan in Pokémon Adventures

Juan debuts in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. He was once Wallace's mentor and the Sootopolis Gym Leader. Despite Wallace winning the Pokémon League, he rejected the title of Champion to take over the Sootopolis Gym after his master. During the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, Wallace was forced to take up the title of Champion, so Juan took up the title as Gym Leader once again.

Juan first appeared on Mirage Island with Tate and Liza. He greeted Ruby and Sapphire and informed them that he would be training them to prepare for their upcoming battle with Groudon and Kyogre. He had Tate and Liza train Ruby and Sapphire in the ways of Double Battles so that they may use combination techniques to aid them in their fight. Juan himself trained the two mentally, so that their minds would not be taken over by the Red and Blue Orbs like Maxie and Archie had been. When the time for Ruby and Sapphire to leave had come, Juan stayed behind so that he may safely guide them away from Mirage Island.

Juan in the thirteenth chapter

After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Juan celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Sapphire and Ruby for their assistance in the battle.

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, Juan, along with the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Elite Four, is called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping a meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet.

As Wallace's former mentor, Juan is respected by Ruby, who calls him "Grand Master" (大師匠, dai shishou).
