In the manga

In the Pokémon Special manga, a Feebas-hunting Swimmer appears in PS208. When Ruby accidentally crashes into his trap laid for the Feebas, he forces Ruby into helping him with his hunt.

Later, the same swimmer appears in Slateport City. While the contest hall collapses, he helps the shocked Ruby out of the hall. Template:Gen I trainers Template:Class stub Template:Project Class notice
