− | 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.

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'' elaborates 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 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]].

He first appeared in a two-part episode where he met [[Red#Ash Ketchum|Ash]] in the Burned Tower and then was defeated by him in a gym battle. Morty's other appearance is in a ''Pokémon Crystal''-inspired episode focusing on Eusine and Suicune, where it was said that he and Eusine shared a close relationship due to their studies of legendary Pokémon. He was later referenced in an episode of the fourth generation series, where it was said that Lyra would be challenging either him or Whitney next. |
*Morty appears in several chapters of the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where he is "the man who can see for a thousand miles" and uses his psychic powers to track down missing people or Pokémon. [[Lieutenant Surge]] enlists his aid in finding the missing [[Gold]] and [[Silver]], and they are later paired against each other in the gym leader competition, in a battle that ends in a draw. Morty's friendship with [[Eusine]] is also alluded to. Morty dreams of seeing [[Ho-Oh]] but winds up having to help the gym leaders in their efforts against Ho-Oh and [[Lugia]] after [[Pryce]] captures them for his own purposes. He reappears in the ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'' chapter, where Gold and Silver make use of his psychic abilities to locate Lance and multiple Plates, respectively, which leaves him exhausted. Most of his gym is also destroyed in [[Arceus]]'s attack. | *Morty appears in several chapters of the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where he is "the man who can see for a thousand miles" and uses his psychic powers to track down missing people or Pokémon.
