Later, Wallace succeeded him as the Gym Leader after winning the Hoenn Pokemon League. When Hoenn got into the crisis because of the fight between Groudon and Kyogre, Wallace had to take up the place as the Champion and asked Juan to take over as the Gym Leader again. He was the one who rescued Liza & Tate when they were trapped in Hank's fire illusion in Mt. Pyre, as well as Ruby and Sapphire when they were being blown away by the Groudon's and Kyogre's energy in Sootopolis. He brought all of them to the Mirage Island and requested Liza & Tate to train Ruby and Sapphire about double battle, in order to prepare the two trainers for the final showdown against Groudon and Kyogre. Juan himself also trained Ruby and Sapphire to increase their mental strength, so that they would not be controlled by the two Orbs, as Maxie and Archie had been. As he had been Wallace's mentor, Ruby respected him right from the beginning and calls him "Great Master" (大師匠, dai shishou). Juan would sometimes use French phrases like "Bonjour" and "Tres Bien".
