Morty was the gym leader of the [[Ecruteak City]] gym. He was motivated in his quest to train Pokémon by to the town's belief in a legendary Pokémon that would appear to a truly powerful trainer. He seemed particularly interested in meeting [[Ho-Oh]]. He claimed that because of this, he spent all his life secretly training in the gym. ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'' elaborated that Morty's secret training helped him to see a "shadow of the person" who would see Ho-Oh, and he believed that it was him, which is implied to be connected to something the Kimono Girls told him.

In the ''Crystal'', ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'' versions, he was first seen in the Burned Tower, where he was helping [[Eusine]] to investigate it as part of Eusine's quest to find [[Suicune]]. Afterwards, he could be battled in the gym. In all five versions, he was challenged and defeated by [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]]. He proceeded to surrender the Fogbadge and TM30: Shadow Ball to the trainer. He remarked that he was not yet good enough to meet a legendary Pokémon and said that he envied Ethan/Lyra because they seemed to travel a lot and thus experienced more, as opposed to Morty's own isolated lifestyle. In ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'', he alternately remarked that he did not realize that their potentials were so different, and he began to think it was Ethan/Lura that the Kimono Girls were talking about.

In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', he would later call Gold up for rematches after they exchange Pokégear numbers outside the Tin Tower, where he is found on Mondays.

In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', he could be found outside the Bell Tower on Mondays and Tuesdays during the day, where he lamented that the legendary Pokémon did not choose him, but felt determined to continue training and find a new future for himself. The player could exchange Pokégear numbers with him there, and calling him on Tuesday nights (between the hours of 8PM and 4AM) would cause him to travel to Saffron City's Fighting Dojo for a rematch. He also appeared by the Bell Tower on Fridays, when he offered to take a picture with Ethan/Lyra as a memento.

In ''[[Pokémon Masters EX]]'', Morty and his Drifblim appeared as a playable sync pair that could be unlocked at random through the game's Sync Pair Scout feature after being added to the game in July 2020. A variation of him with Mismagius could also be unlocked with Battle Points starting in May 2021, and he also had two variants that were made available through the Sync Pair Scout feature during limited time periods: the Fall 2021 variant of him wearing Halloween attire (including a cape and obscuring one of his eyes) that was partnered with [[Banette]] (capable of Mega Evolving) which was first available in October 2021, and a Sygna Suit variant paired with a Shiny Ho-Oh that was first made available in May 2022. [[Gastly]] could also be unlocked as an alternate Pokémon for Morty in his default state by reaching Friendship Level 100 with him at the Trainer Lodge, after he was added to the mode at the end of January 2023. He was also shown to have his Gengar with him in some scenes.

Morty made an appearance in the "Fight or Fright" Story Event, where he was among a group of Ghost-type trainers who marched their Pokémon through town while spooky decorations were on display, which they called the Midnight Parade. Morty (in his fall attire) was also featured in the "Midnight Spookfest" Story Event, where he and [[Caitlin]] worked with [[Scottie/Bettie]] and [[Hilbert/Hilda|Hilbert]] when taking part in the Midnight Spookfest event. Morty later starred in the Story Event "A Golden Future", which depicted how he met the Shiny Ho-Oh. The event opened with a flashback to Morty telling Ethan about Ho-Oh from the second generation games. He was shown to feel let down that Ho-Oh had chosen to partner with Silver instead of him and felt that he needed more training. His Pokémon convinced him not to push himself too hard. He then came across a Ho-Oh Feather, which he initially assumed to have come from Silver's Pokémon. It turned out that was not the case, so Morty began to wonder if a second Ho-Oh came to Pasio. However, it turned out the multiple trainers seemed to have found Ho-Oh Feathers, and ultimately it was revealed that [[Team Rocket]] was selling fake fathers. Angered that Team Rocket would mess with the dreams of trainers like that, Morty battled them and drove them away with help from Silver. Morty decided to hold onto the feather he found as a memento. Several days later, the Shiny Ho-Oh suddenly appeared to Morty while he was training, and Morty realized that his 'new future' had arrived. After partnering with the Pokémon, Morty donned his Sygna Suit. Morty later helped [[Kris]] to find her missing [[Suicune]] in the Solo Event "Kris's Worries" and helped [[Eusine]] to pursue a Shiny Suicune in the Story Event "Chase the Northern Wind". In the former event, [[Falkner]] admired and expressed jealousy of Morty's Ho-Oh, to which Morty assured Falkner that he would have his own special encounter someday. Morty also helped in the battles against [[Team Rocket]] in the Johto chapter of the Villain Arc with his Ho-Oh.

Bugsy also appears in ''[[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]'' as the fourth opponent, using a [[Gastly]] in battle.
