(Japanese: ジュン Jun) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime.
Jun made his debut appearance in DP101. He was shown to have a very hyperactive personality, much like his game counterpart. Jun admires Paul and his training methods, and wants to be a strong trainer like him. He also had a slightly similar mentality as Paul's, as in capturing strong Pokémon for training. However, unlike Paul, he still cares for his Pokémon.
Dawn knew Jun back when they both lived in Twinleaf Town, but Jun doesn't remember her. He only recognizes Ash, Brock and Dawn because they participated in the Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament with Paul. He challenged Ash to a battle in that episode to prove his training methods wrong, but Ash came out the victor.
After Ash defeated him, Jun stayed to watch Ash challenge Fantina in DP102. At times Jun was skeptical about Ash's strategy in the battle but by the end of the fight he realized that his techniques were excellent. He later stated that he would be his rival if Ash could defeat Byron, whom Jun had previously beaten.
After staying with the group for the following episode, he departed to train at Iron Island.
Jun appeared again in DP110 and DP111 at Iron Island.

Trivia
- Jun wears his game counterpart's clothes from Diamond and Pearl, however, his Pokétch is modeled after the one that appears in Platinum.
- Much like Pearl, Jun has a habit of counting down until he "blasts off" then interrupting himself and running away. He also collided into Ash, much like his game counterpart does to the player repeatedly throughout the player's journey.
- Jun is the first anime character based on an in-game rival that has had more than a cameo since Gary Oak, whose starter, coincidentally, was also the Water-type choice.
- It is also seen that Brendan, in his cameo appearances, has the Template:P2 of the Template:Type2 starter from his region.
