* Before battle

:''"Good of you to have come. Here, in <sc>Ecruteak</sc>, <sc>Pokémon</sc> have been revered. It's said that legendary <sc>Pokémon</sc> will appear to the truly powerful trainers.{{sup/2|GS}}/It's said that {{p|Ho-Oh|a rainbow-colored <sc>Pokémon</sc>}} will come down to appear before a truly powerful trainer.{{sup/2|C}} I believed that tale, so I have secretly trained here all my life. As a result, I can now see what others cannot. Just a bit more... With a little more, I could see a future in which I meet the <sc>Pokémon</sc> of rainbow colors. You're going to help me reach that level!"''

* After being defeated

:''"It's <sc>{{m|Shadow Ball}}</sc>. It causes damage and may reduce <sc>Spcl.Def</sc>. Use it if it appeals to you."''

:''"I see... Your journey has taken you to far-away places. And you have witnessed much more than me. I envy you for that..."''

===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====

:''"My name is Morty. I am Ecruteak's Gym Leader. Because my old friend is here on the trail of <sc>Suicune</sc>, I decided to investigate the Burned Tower. Ecruteak has a legend about these legendary Pokémon: <sc>Suicune, Entei</sc>, and <sc>Raikou</sc>. As the Gym Leader of Ecruteak, I must have a proper understanding of it."''

* Before battle

:''"It's good of you to have come. Here in Ecruteak, Pokémon have long been revered. It's said that a rainbow-hued Pokémon will come down to appear before a truly powerful Trainer. I believed that tale, so I have secretly trained here all my life. As a result, I can now see what others cannot. I see a shadow of the person who will make the Pokémon appear. I believe that person is me! You're going to help me reach that level!"''

:''"I get it... The person the Kimono Girls were talking about must be you... Never mind. You should be strong enough to go across the sea. When you go west and then south, you'll reach Olivine City. Why don't you head for it?"''

* Before battle

:''"I was just talking about you... Let's battle!"''

:''"I've lost again... You may have something more than just strength."''

* On Fridays:

:''"Hi, it's you! How about taking a picture with me as a memento?"''

::No: ''"I understand... you must be busy with things."'' <!--"you" wasn't capitalized in-text.-->

:''"The legendary Pokemon did not choose me...<!--"The legendary Pokémon is gone." Where did this come from?--> But that does not mean that I have lost out on my future. I will continue my training until I discover a new future for me. Say, do you want to be part of my training?

::'''Yes''': ''"Give me a call on Tuesday night if you want a battle!"''

:''"So, will you be part of my training?"''

* Calling him:

:''"Hello... What's going on? I'm doing great. There are stronger Gym Leaders than me out there. They're all waiting to cheer you on!"''

*Morty calling the player:

:''"This is Morty! How are you doing? You know, I once saw Entei. I mean like up close. It was amazing. Entei looked me in the eyes. I'll never forget its eyes. It was like it could see right through me, down into the depths of my heart..."''

===={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}====

* Before battle (first round)

:''"You're going to help me reach the next level in my training!"''

:''"My training is to meet a rainbow-hued Pokémon. You're going to help me reach the next level in my training!"''

:''"How is this possible..."''

* In the lobby, after the tournament

:''"I'm desperate to know the secret of your strength. If I unlock the secret, my dream to see the legendary Pokémon may come true! Excuse me. I got ahead of myself. Congratulations on your victory."''

He teaches classes on training {{t|Ghost}} types. He knows that most Ghosts lack physical power, and relies on disabling his opponent by confusing or frightening them.

|desc={{p|Haunter}} was the second Pokémon Morty used against {{Ash}}. It used Mean Look to force Ash to stick with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and with Hypnosis and Lick, it won the round. Ash now had only {{AP|Noctowl}} left to battle with. Things looked bad for Ash when Haunter managed to [[Status condition#Confusion|confuse]] Noctowl with its Confuse Ray, and was ready to finish it with Night Shade, but then Noctowl learned how to use {{m|Confusion}}, and beat Haunter with one try.

Haunter's known moves are {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Lick}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Night Shade}}.}}

|epname=From Ghost to Ghost

|desc=Like the Gastly, Morty befriended many {{p|Haunter}} that live the [[Burned Tower]]. They play tricks on people who make their way into the tower on accident by making them see illusions. Morty knows these Haunter so well that he can call upon them at any time, and he can even understand what they say to him.

None of Haunter's moves are known.}}

Gold wins the tournament but Morty still couldn't battle Gold as it is past sunset. As a result, Morty gives Gold the Fog Badge for doing a good job and promises to have an official battle for it with Gold someday.
