In the Pokémon Special manga
Juan was once Wallace's mentor and the Sootopolis Gym Leader. Later, Wallace succeeded him as the Gym Leader after winning the Hoenn Pokémon League. When Hoenn got into the crisis because of the fight between Groudon and Kyogre, Wallace had to take up the place as the Champion and asked Juan to take over as the Gym Leader again.
He was the one who rescued Tate & Liza when they were trapped in Mack's fire illusion in Mt. Pyre, as well as Ruby and Sapphire when they were being blown away by the Groudon's and Kyogre's energy in Sootopolis. He brought all of them to the Mirage Island and requested Liza & Tate to train Ruby and Sapphire about double battle, in order to prepare the two trainers for the final showdown against Groudon and Kyogre. Juan himself also trained Ruby and Sapphire to increase their mental strength, so that they would not be controlled by the two Orbs, as Maxie and Archie had been.
As he had been Wallace's mentor, Ruby respected him right from the beginning and calls him "Great Master" (大師匠, dai shishou).
Juan would sometimes use French phrases like "Bonjour" and "Tres Bien".

Trivia
- His Japanese Leader title is ダンディな魅惑の水のアーティスト.
- In the anime, Juan's tuft of white hair faces the opposite direction than his official art and sprites from Pokémon Emerald.
- Juan's team in the anime is the same team Wallace uses in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
- Both Juan and Giovanni are the eighth Gym Leader in a region introduced in an odd-numbered generation. Both of their names are a foreign version of the name "John".
- Juan is the only Hoenn Gym Leader not to be shown with the same team in the anime as in the games (while some Gym Leaders had Pokémon evolve or join their team, all the previous leaders were shown with the same team as their game counterparts at one point).
