'''Joey''' (Japanese: '''ゴロウ''' ''Gorō'') is a {{tc|Youngster}} and one of the few [[Trainer class|regular Trainers]] who appeared in other canons than the games themselves. In [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, he is known as '''Grant'''; however, [[VIZ Media]]'s translations, consistent with the games, refer to him as Joey.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Joey greatly emphasises the fact that he only raises one Pokémon, his {{p|Rattata}} ({{p|Raticate}} from the first rematch and onwards), claiming that it is in the "top percentage of {{p|Rattata}}."

He is first seen in {{adv|Gold}}'s garden, on the way to [[Professor Elm|Elm]]'s lab to deliver several Pokémon to the professor for examination. However, his [[bag|backpack]] was stolen by a wild {{p|Murkrow}}, along with Gold's radio antenna, causing Gold's radio to lose broadcast. After noticing that something is wrong with radio, Gold spots Joey in the garden and mistakes him for the thief. The Youngster explains that the real thief is Murkrow. Gold then decides to retrieve the stolen objects. He soon succeeds and catches the Murkrow. The boys soon become friends.

After the incident with {{p|Murkrow}}, Gold and Joey travel together for a while. After a trip in [[New Bark Town]], Gold notices Pokémon from his backpack have been stolen and they go to the laboratory to tell Professor Elm about it. Unluckily, they come to the lab just after {{adv|Silver}} stole the [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]]. After that, Joey uses his computer to montage a picture of Silver for the police. Then, they meet {{adv|Professor Oak}} who is interested by the fact that Silver had a [[Pokédex]]. It turns out that the Oak was the one who ordered him to deliver the Pokémon to Elm. Gold wants to get a Pokédex from Oak, but the professor refuses.

After that, {{adv|Gold}} decides to [[Pokémon training|train]] when a thunderstorm started to rage. Joey's {{p|Rattata}} falls into the river, and Gold goes to rescue it. After Joey tells this to {{adv|Professor Oak}}, the professor decides to give Gold the [[Pokédex]]. After that, Joey decides to return to [[New Bark Town]] to pay [[Professor Elm]] a visit, while Gold decides to search for Silver. The boys go separate ways.

|desc={{p|Rattata}} is Joey's partner Pokémon. Its strengths are unknown but was hurt by [[Aibo]]'s {{m|Scratch}} when {{adv|Gold}} first met Joey.

* Many core series games feature other Trainers named Youngster Joey. However, these Trainers do not use Rattata and have no other connection to the Youngster Joey in Johto. Only the ones in {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{g|X and Y}} have the same Japanese name as this Joey.
