At the beginning, it was assumed that Paul was a {{pkmn|Trainer}} just starting out. However, this was proven wrong in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', in which he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Hoenn]], [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League Conference}}s but failing to win any of them before returning to [[Sinnoh]]. In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', it was revealed that Kanto was the very first [[region]] he traveled through.

He first appeared in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Seperation!]]'', although he only made a brief appearance at the ending of that episode; he was fully introduced in the next episode, ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', in which he challenged {{Ash}} to a 3-on-3 battle. After the battle resulted in a tie, Paul released one of the three {{p|Starly}} he caught, writing it off as weak, and walked off. He later appeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', in which he defeated Ash in a Single Battle after meeting him along the way when exploring [[Bewilder Forest]]. He caught his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} in the forest. During the episode, he insulted Ash and especially his {{TP|Ash|Turtwig}} by calling it pathetic, sparking their rivalry. At this point, Ash realized Paul's strategy of disregarding Pokémon and then [[Release|releasing]] them if they did not meet his expectations. He also commented that he would not lose to Paul again.

Paul then battled against the {{ci|Oreburgh}} [[Oreburgh Gym|Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' and managed to win the {{Badge|Coal}}. Although he stayed to watch Ash's first battle against Roark in the [[DP016|next episode]], he walked off. His style of indiscriminately releasing weak Pokémon was shown again as he gave the {{p|Azumarill}} he used against Roark to a kid in the [[Pokémon Center]] after it failed to help him in the battle.
