Ben made his main series debut in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'', where he was assigned to bring a rare {{p|Heatran}} that knows {{m|Eruption}} to the National Park for its own safety. His first attempt was interrupted by {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|RoboDiglett]], and he lost his [[Capture Styler]] as a result. The Rocket trio later found the device and plotted to use it capture the Heatran for themselves. | |||
Meanwhile, Ben encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after falling into a river, and he enlisted their help with his mission. Using the increase in ground temperature as a guide, Ben lead them up a mountain and through a cave system, where they soon encountered the special Heatran. Team Rocket appeared again, but the nabbed Capture Styler failed to operate as it was synchronized with Ben. The trio resorted to their RoboDiglett, but the unfolding battle caused the cave system to begin collapsing. Eventually, with the help of Ash's group, he managed to capture Heatran via his Capture Styler and helped it escape to safety. | |||

Ben is remarkably optimistic even in the most difficult of situations. He attributes his positive outlook to his grandfather, who encouraged him to give everything a go. Ben is also highly knowledgeable and uses his field experience, such as feeling the ground for increasing heat to locate {{p|Heatran}} in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''. | |||
