Prior to the events of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, J became a Pokémon hunter, and she stole a {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Relicanth}} and sold them to her clients. She was rewarded a large amount of money. Since then, she was wanted by the [[Officer Jenny]]s in Sinnoh.
Prior to the events of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', J became a Pokémon hunter, and she stole a {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Relicanth}} and sold them to her clients. She was rewarded a large amount of money. Since then, she was wanted by the [[Officer Jenny]]s in [[Sinnoh]] as a most wanted and deathly dangerous criminal.


J debuted in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', where she rode on her {{TP|J|Salamence}} to [[Melodi]]'s flower garden, where she planned to steal Melodi's {{p|Gardevoir}}. Despite Gardevoir attempting to escape with {{m|Teleport}}, J found it using her goggles and hit it with a special beam from a device on her arm that turned it into stone. J then made her exit with Melodi's Gardevoir, and {{Ash}} chased after her, demanding that she return Gardevoir to Melodi, but then J went after [[Ash's Pikachu]] since she thought Pikachu would be worth a sizable amount of money. J had her {{p|Drapion}} battle Ash's Pikachu in an attempt to see his moves. After Pikachu used {{m|Volt Tackle}}, J used her {{p|Ariados}} to bind Ash to a rock and then proceeded to steal Pikachu without any trouble.

J continued to do so in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]''. She was able to capture the Riolu, but Ash followed her onto the airship. J soon became aware of Ash's arrival and ordered Drapion to grab him as soon as he confronted her. Although Ash escaped from Drapion's grasp, J quickly ejected him from her ship. J then met up with her client and gave him the {{m|Aura Sphere|special}} Riolu. She left after receiving payment from him, but the Riolu was later rescued from the client, who was then arrested.

Sometime before ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', J was given a request from one of her clients to catch a {{p|Regigigas}} and traveled to the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. After {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} heard the news about the situation in the Snowpoint Temple, J had her henchmen work to prevent the [[Battle Pyramid]] from getting closer. Even though he and the group were able to narrowly defeat the henchmen's Pokémon, J already had her Salamence destroy the pillars guarding Regigigas. Despite Brandon and [[Maria]] warning J about not waking up Regigigas, she destroyed the last pillar, forcing Regigigas to awaken. When Regigigas began to rampage, J was able to leave the Snowpoint Temple. She watched as Brandon used [[Brandon's legendary titans|his Pokémon]] to calm Regigigas and then bound the group with {{p|Ariados}}'s String Shot. J went after the Legendary titans during their rampage. She attempted to turn Regigigas to stone but Brandon and his Pokémon jumped in the way to prevent it from happening. Regigigas destroyed J's bracelet and withdrew from the area when her client decided to cancel the deal.

In ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', J was hired by [[Team Galactic]] to catch {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}}, and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', she proceeded to carry out the task of capturing them. Gary attempted to stop her from doing so with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] overpowered the two. J then dropped a Galactic Bomb into [[Lake Valor]] to force Azelf into the open. With the help of Team Galactic's {{p|Golbat}}, J was able to catch Azelf. This caused Uxie and Mesprit to appear. although Uxie and Mesprit putting up a good fight and dodging attacks from [[Mars's Purugly]] and [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}}, J captured the two of them as well.

Although she did succeed in capturing the {{an|lake guardians}}, her ship was hit by two {{m|Future Sight}} attacks used by Uxie and Mesprit directly before she captured them, which, in her overconfidence, she had forgotten. As a result, her ship crashed into [[Lake Valor]] and was sucked into a whirlpool while she and her crew members were still on board. Once the ship was underwater, the protective glass broke and the ship was flooded, causing it to explode. It is currently unknown if J, her Pokémon, or any of her crew survived.<!--In accordance with the speculation rule, there is absolutely NO proof that J is dead so that should not be added to this article.-->

J is ruthless, relentless, and cruel, willing to do anything to capture Pokémon for her clients, up to and including injuring innocent people or Pokémon. In her debut episode, she chose to drop some of her {{TP|J|henchmen}} to their potential deaths without hesitation or remorse, emphasizing her intensely independent, sociopathic, greedy and callous nature. She has no honor, decency or regard for any form of life - the only thing that matters to her is money. She is one of the very few characters (including the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], [[Dr. Yung]], [[Grings Kodai]], and [[Alva]]) in the anime who is purely evil.

J is also highly pragmatic. She is reluctant to harm Pokémon that she is trying to capture - as they would be less valuable to her clients - and she will forgo direct combat in favor of sneak attacks and mass destruction if the opportunity presents itself. This contributes to her high threat level in the series. However, she also tends to underestimate her opponents when on the verge of victory, which often leads to her defeat and ultimately ensures her (seemingly) final downfall.
