A Gentleman appeared in Battle Aboard the St. Anne. His main Pokémon is a Raticate, which is able to use Jump Kick. After having a battle with Ash, he became impressed by Ash's Butterfree and suggested he'd trade the Butterfly Pokémon for his Raticate. Ash initially accepted the offer, but during a confrontation against Team Rocket, which both he and the Gentleman participated in, Ash grew worried about his Butterfree. Once Team Rocket's invasion had been stopped, Ash and the Gentleman reversed the trade just as the St. Anne was sinking due to a storm.
A Gentleman appeared in Meowth's fantasy in Imitation Confrontation.
