Debut | Pokémon: Gold Version/Pokémon: Silver Version |
Morty is the third gym leader encountered in Pokémon: Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions. He is a Ghost-type trainer.
Background
Morty was the gym leader of the Ecruteak City gym. He was motivated in his quest to train Pokémon due to the town's belief that a legendary Pokémon would appear to a truly powerful trainer. He seemed particularly interested in meeting Ho-Oh. Because of this, he said he spent all his life secretly training in the gym.
In the Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver versions, he first was 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 Gold. He then surrendered the Fogbadge and TM30: Shadow Ball to Gold. He remarked that he was not yet good enough to meet a legendary Pokémon and said that he envied Gold because Gold seemed to travel alot and thus has experienced more, as opposed to Morty's own isolated lifestyle. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he could be found outside the Tin Tower on Mondays during the day, and Gold could exchange Pokégear numbers with him there. Calling him on Tuesday nights would cause him to travel to Saffron City's Fighting Dojo for a rematch.
Pokémon Roster
In Gold, Silver and Crystal as well as HeartGold and SoulSilver, Morty has the following Pokémon.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he uses the following Pokémon in rematches:
Other Games
Morty appears as an opponent in the Gym Leader's Castle of Pokémon Stadium 2. In this game his line-up instead contains a Gengar, Ariados, Sudowoodo, Marowak, Girafarig and Noctowl in R1, or a Gengar, Exeggutor, Lapras, Misdreavus, Granbull and Mantine in R2.
Bugsy also appears in Pokémon Puzzle Challenge as the fourth opponent, using a Gastly in battle.
Other Appearances
- Morty has appeared in three episodes of the Pokémon anime. He first appeared in a two-part episode where he met Ash in the Burned Tower and then was defeated by him in a gym battle. Morty's other appearance is in a Pokémon Crystal episode focusing on Eusine and Suicune, where it was said the two shared a close relationship due to their studies of legendary Pokémon.
- 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.
