Aaron appears in ''[[PMDP15|Clefairy's Pokémon Center is Super Useful!?]]''. He is seen taking his Stunky to a Pokémon which {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} becomes in charge of. He reads a book while waiting for Stunky to feel better. However, the treatment Clefairy gave it was ruined by Stunky falling into the treatment machine and this failure made Stunky's condition worse. Aaron didn't like what Clefairy did after finding out about this. After Stunky used {{m|Poison Gas}} on Red, his Pokémon, and {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}, both Aaron and Stunky leave the Pokémon Center.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Aaron's {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Drapion}} both know moves usually only available at levels after they are battled. Heracross knows {{m|Megahorn}}, and Drapion knows {{m|Cross Poison}}. Both of these may be obtained as [[Egg Move]]s.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Aaron is the only Elite Four member who still has a Pokémon that is not of his specialty type. {{p|Drapion}} is a {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon, though it evolves from the {{2t|Poison|Bug}} {{p|Skorupi}}. Also, {{p|Drapion}} is part of the {{egg3|Bug}}.

* Aaron is the only member of the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] not to have {{m|Earthquake}} as one of his Pokémon's moves in any of his teams.
* Aaron is the only Elite Four member whose strongest Pokémon doesn't change between {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and Pokémon Platinum.

Main series

Aaron in the anime
Aaron when he was younger

Aaron was briefly mentioned by fellow Elite Four member Lucian in An Elite Meet and Greet!. He then debuted in A Trainer and Child Reunion!, where he was shown to be preparing for his championship battle against Cynthia. He was conducting a public training session at a small town between Hearthome City and Solaceon Town, which had been advertised in an issue of the Poké Chic magazine that featured him on the cover.

Ash and his friends decided to go watch Aaron train and joined the long line of fans that were there to meet him, with Dawn getting her copy of Poké Chic signed by him. When Aaron found out that the group knew Cynthia personally, he invited them to his training center. There, he revealed that a Wurmple was his first Pokémon and close friend when he was young, but due to his anger at it for losing a match, he abandoned it. He regretted it later, and from then on, he tried his best to train hard and to understand Bug-type Pokémon so that the same incident would not happen again. Aaron eventually encountered Wurmple again as a Beautifly by the end of the episode, following a battle against Team Rocket.

Aaron reappeared in the next episode, where he was seen on television having his battle with Cynthia at the Champion League, but he lost.

Aaron made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Character

Aaron likes to be surrounded by nature and Bug-type Pokémon. He tends to train in the forests, which allow him to rest up for upcoming challenges. He also enjoys the attention given by the status of being an Elite Four member. In addition, Aaron places friendship in high value, particularly with his Pokémon.

This listing is of Aaron's known Pokémon in the anime:

Aaron's Beautifly
Wurmple → Silcoon → Beautifly
Main article: Aaron's Beautifly

Aaron first encountered his Beautifly as a Wurmple when it helped him down from a high tree. They became very close friends, but finally Aaron became irritated that it always lost in battle and abandoned it in a park. When he later returned to find Wurmple, it was gone.

The same Wurmple returned in A Trainer and Child Reunion!, where it was revealed to have since evolved into a Beautifly. They reunited beside the very same tree where they had first met. It informed Aaron that it decided to start training by itself to become stronger. Beautifly then helped Aaron, Ash, and his friends to battle Team Rocket after they tried to steal Aaron's Pokémon. After this, Aaron took Beautifly back into his team.

Beautifly reappeared in the next episode, where Aaron used it as his last Pokémon in his battle against Cynthia. It went up against Cynthia's Gastrodon, but it was knocked out by Gastrodon's powerful Stone Edge.
