{{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} meet Janitor Geoff on the [[Skyarrow Bridge]] after being attacked by a mysterious Pokémon on their way to [[Castelia City]]. He berates the two for getting the bridge dirty and challenges Black to a battle. After losing, Geoff reveals that he is actually the president of the Battle Company, and that the Pokémon that had attacked them was the {{pkmn2|legendary}} {{p|Virizion}}.

At the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}}, Geoff teams up with several other Trainers Black met on his journey. Together, they face the [[Seven Sages]] in battle to rescue the kidnapped Gym Leaders. Eventually they succeed and proceed to help defeat the Team Plasma Grunts attacking the League.

|desc={{p|Trubbish}} the first Pokémon that Geoff is seen to own. It is used to battle Black and used its terrible smell to prevent his Pokémon from getting close to it. It was eventually defeated by Black's [[Tep]] after it managed to plug its nose to block the smell. At the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}}, Trubbish was used to help rescue the kidnapped Gym Leaders. Once they succeeded, Trubbish helped fight the Team Plasma Grunts attacking innocent bystanders below.

|desc={{p|Cinccino}} the second Pokémon that Geoff is seen to own that he's owned since it was a {{p|Minccino}}. It is used to help Geoff clean the bridge with its tail and was used to battle Black. Its fur prevented it from being hurt by {{type|Electric}} moves but was defeated once Black devised a technique to get around it.

* Janitor Geoff in {{game|Black and White|s}} gives an [[Exp. Share]] as a reward for being defeated in addition to the reward money. He says that as the president of the Battle Company, it is his duty. He also says he likes observing his employees while disguised.

*The Janitor Trainer class is one of two classes who give out different amounts of monetary awards, with the other being the {{tc|Clerk ♂}} class. However, this is due to one Janitor being a company president in disguise, and the rest of the class are real janitors, obviously creating a fiscal mismatch between the two. On the other hand, the Clerk ♂ class has their socio-economic status divided by their sprites.
