His dream is to become a [[Pokémon Master]] with the help of his favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}.

As the group was about to leave, they looked inside the Gym, and they saw A.J. using a whip to send his Sandshrew diving into a pool. Ash attacked A.J., thinking that he was torturing his Pokémon. A.J. then explained that he was strengthening his Sandshrew's resistance against water. Sandshrew and all of A.J.'s other Pokémon were wearing {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}s to intensify their strength. He also had all of his Pokémon exercise in rigorous routines. Ash complained about A.J. treating his Pokémon too harshly, and asked Brock and Misty to back him up. However, instead Brock complimented A.J. on the specialized {{Pkmn|food}} he prepares for his Pokémon. | As the group was about to leave, they looked inside the Gym, and they saw A.J. using a whip to send his Sandshrew diving into a pool.

A.J. makes a cameo appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. In the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he, along with [[Samurai]], {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make plans to find the [[Hidden Village]], where powerful wild Pokémon supposedly live. A.J. is particularly interested in high-[[level]]ed Pokémon such as {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Venusaur}}. He and Samurai are separated from Ash and Brock when {{AP|Pikachu}} goes missing. | A.J. makes a cameo appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

In {{game|Yellow}}, a game based on the anime, there is a {{tc|Youngster}} on {{rt|9|Kanto}}. This Trainer solely uses a level 24 {{p|Sandshrew}} that has the move {{m|Fissure}}, much like A.J.'s Sandshrew in the anime. After the player wins the battle, he says, "I'll restart my 100-win streak with Sandshrew," a reference to the fact that A.J. won 100 battles. This Trainer may be A.J., or a reference to him. In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, this Trainer is originally a {{tc|Camper|Jr. Trainer♂}}, has a {{p|Growlithe}} and a {{p|Charmander}}, and says, "Keep walking!" after being defeated. | In {{game|Yellow}}, a game based on the anime, there is a {{tc|Youngster}} on {{rt|9|Kanto}}.
