Zoey (Japanese: ノゾミ Nozomi) is a Pokémon coordinator and Dawn's rival. She first appeared Mounting a Coordinator Assault. She is voiced by 早水リサ Risa Hayamizu in the Japanese version and by Emily Williams in the English dub. Internationally, she is played by Luciana Baroli in the Brazilian Portuguese dub and by María Fernandez Morales in the Latin American dub.
Unlike most rivals, Zoey is kind and helpful towards Dawn, and is greeted as a friend. She is frusturated by people who compete in both contests and Gym battles, saying, "they need to make up their minds". This is seen in her reactions to Ash in Arrival of a Rival and Nando in Dawn's Early Night. For that she apologized to Ash for her behavior in Staging a Heroes Welcome.
Zoey is largely responsible for the trade of Ash's Aipom and Dawn's Buizel. In Arrival of a Rival, she first suggested that Ash should give Aipom to Dawn. In Throwing the Track Switch she brought it up again, but this time she suggested a trade after she saw how Buizel had more of a love for battling rather than contests. Ash and Dawn eventually agreed to it and traded their Pokémon.
In Arrival of a Rival she won the Jubilife City Contest battling in the final with Jessie. However, it was revealed in Getting the Pre-Contest Titters that the first ribbon she won was in a battle with Kenny's Prinplup. She has a Contest Pass for the Sinnoh region.
Zoey appears again in DP093 where she is shown battling Fantina. Zoey battles Fantina's Mismagius with her Glameow but loses.

Trivia
- Zoey slightly resembles Bridgette, the host of Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire. It could be possible that she was designed after her.
- Zoey's outfit design seems to be similar to Tiffany's.
- Counting only major characters, Zoey is the first female rival in the anime.
- When Zoey sends out a Pokémon in a Contest, she usually says "<Pokémon's name>, curtain!".
- Zoey's Japanese name is Nozomi while Dawn's is Hikari. The Hikari and the Nozomi are two Shinkansen "bullet train" lines. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari, possibly symbolizing that Zoey is farther along in her coordinating skills that Dawn.
