[[Ash]], [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] first meet Morty when they mistakingly went to the [[Burned Tower]] thinking it was the Gym. His {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon had created an illusion of fire to scare the trainers away, but Morty settled them and introduced himself as Gym Leader. He told them about the legend of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and the two towers of Ecruteak, but didn't believe that Ash had ever seen a Ho-Oh. When [[Team Rocket]] kidnapped [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[Misty's Togepi|Togepi]], he used his powerful {{p|Gengar}} to stop them.

The next day, Ash and Morty had their Gym battle. Ash was able to defeat him by relying on his {{AP|Noctowl}}'s {{m|Foresight}} to weaken Morty's Ghost Pokémon and make them vulnerable to {{t|Normal}} attacks. After Morty was defeated, he said he believed that Ash may very well have seen a Ho-Oh, given Ash's great spirit.
