Quotes
- Before battle
- "Hello! Welcome to the Pokémon League! I'm Aaron of the Elite Four. It's good to meet you. Oh, I should explain, I'm a huge fan of bug Pokémon. Bug Pokémon are nasty-mean, and yet they're beautiful, too... Would you like to know why I take on challengers here, in this room? It's because I want to become perfect, just like my bug Pokémon! Ok! Let me take you on!"
- During battle (less than half HP)
- "Not yet! Your first Pokémon League victory doesn't come easily, kid." (Diamond and Pearl)
- "It's not over yet! A League Elite Four can't give up!" (Platinum)
- When defeated
- "I will now concede defeat. But I think you came to see how great Bug-type Pokémon can be. I hope you also realized why you're up against in the Pokémon League. Battling is a deep and complex affair..."
- After battle
- "I lost with the most beautiful and toughest of the bug Pokémon... We lost because I wasn't good enough... That's it! Back to training camp! Let's hear it for me! No... That was wrong... Anyway... Go on to the next room! Three Trainers are waiting for you. They are all tougher than me."
- "Go on, go to the next room. I'm going to become a top-level Trainer who can't be outclassed with my beautiful and tough bug Pokémon!"

In the anime
Aaron was briefly mentioned by Lucian in An Elite Meet and Greet. However, Aaron made his actual debut appearance in A Trainer and Child Reunion! where he was shown to be preparing for his championship battle against Cynthia. Finding out that Ash and his friends know Cynthia personally, he took them to his training center.
He also reveals that a Wurmple was his first ever Pokémon and friend when he was young but due to his anger at it for losing a match, he abandoned it. He regretted it later and from then on tried his best to train hard and to understand Bug-type Pokémon so that the same incident would not happen again. He eventually encounters it again as a Beautifly at the end of the episode, following a battle against Team Rocket.
He was seen again on television, one episode later, having his battle with Cynthia. It was also shown that he had lost the match.
Pokémon
This listing is of Aaron's known Pokémon in the anime:
| Debut | A Trainer and Child Reunion! |
|---|---|
| Voice actors | |
| Japanese | Kiyotaka Furushima |
| English | Michele Knotz |
- Main article: Aaron's Beautifly
Aaron first encountered his Beautifly as a Wurmple when it helped him down from a high tree. They became very close friends, but finally Aaron became irritated that it always lost and left it behind. When he later returned to the place where they had seen for the last time, Wurmple was gone.
The same Wurmple returned in A Trainer and Child Reunion!, now having evolved into a Beautifly. The meeting place was just besides the very same tree where they had first met. It told how after Aaron had abandoned it, it had started training by itself. Beautifly helped Ash and company along with Aaron to get rid of Team Rocket that had tried to steal Aaron's Pokémon. After this Aaron took Beautifly back to his team.
Aaron used Beautifly again in the next episode in his battle against Cynthia as his last Pokémon, sending it against Cynthia's Gastrodon. However, Beautifly was finally knocked out by Gastrodon's powerful Stone Edge.
There's not much known about Aaron's Skorupi as it has never been seen battling, but like all of Aaron's Pokémon, it seems to be a very good friend with him. Aaron usually seems to keep Skorupi out of its Poké Ball, and lets it follow him or ride on his shoulder.
None of Skorupi's moves are known.
The first time Drapion was seen was when Aaron was demonstrating his Pokémon's powers before his battle with Cynthia. When Drapion got caught by Team Rocket along with Aaron's other Pokémon, it went against Jessie's Seviper, but got badly hurt from Seviper's Poison Tail. Later it was however able to defeat Seviper with a Hyper Beam.
During Aaron's battle against Cynthia, Drapion went against Cynthia's Garchomp, but was defeated.
Drapion's known moves are Hyper Beam and Pin Missile.
Aaron used Vespiquen along with his Drapion during his power demonstration. When captured by Team Rocket, she got hurt badly by James's Carnivine's Bullet Seed, but was later able to defeat it with a Slash.

Trivia
- Aaron is the only Trainer in Pokémon Platinum whose animated sprite enters the screen from the top, and is one of the only four known in-game animated trainer sprites to have an irregular entrance; the other two are Koga, Janine and Marlon.
- Aaron's Heracross and Drapion both know moves usually only available at levels after they are battled. Heracross knows Megahorn, and Drapion knows Cross Poison. Both of these may be obtained as Egg moves.
- In Platinum, Aaron is the only Elite Four member who still has a Pokémon that is not of his specialty type. Drapion is a Poison/Dark Pokémon, though it evolves from the Poison/Bug Skorupi. Also, Drapion is part of the Bug Egg Group.
- In Pokémon Platinum, Aaron replaces his Dustox with Yanmega. This is similar to the replacement that Jessie made in the anime, swapping the same species of Pokémon.
- Two members of the Sinnoh Elite Four, Aaron and Lucian, share their names with the main characters of Konami's Lunar Knights for the DS.
- Aaron is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four not to have Earthquake as one of his Pokémon's moves in any of his teams.
