Zoey (Japanese: ノゾミ Nozomi) is a Pokémon Coordinator and Dawn's rival. She first appeared in Mounting a Coordinator Assault.
History
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 Ash'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. Furthermore, 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.
In Strategy with a Smile! she lost the battle against May in the semi-finals of the Wallace Cup.
Zoey appeared again in Playing the Leveling Field! where she was shown battling Fantina. Zoey battled Fantina's Mismagius with her Glameow but lost. It was also revealed that Shellos helped her earn her third ribbon.
Zoey appeared in DP126 where Ash and his friends learn about her childhood. She had been friends with Candice since she was young and, while she wanted to be a Top Coordinator, Candice wanted to be a champion. They promised each other to follow their goals and as such Zoey looked down on people who did both. She also appeared in DP127 watching Ash's gym battle with Candice. She will also appear again in DP128, where she will be seen argueing with Paul.
