Zoey was first seen in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', where she quickly made friends with {{an|Dawn}} after returning the choker Dawn had misplaced. At that point Zoey had already competed in three Contests and won one. She was the first contestant to appeal in the [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]], and the presentation of her {{p|Misdreavus}} was enough to take her to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]]. In the following episode, she defeated {{Ash}}, Dawn, and [[Jessie|Jessilina]] with her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}, winning the Jubilife Contest and earning her second [[Ribbon]]. Later in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'' it was revealed that Zoey's first Ribbon had been won in a battle against [[Kenny]]'s {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}. She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. | |||

In ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]'' Zoey ran into Dawn and her friends, who were fishing in a lake on the way to [[Hearthome City]]. She told them that she had lost her last Contest and was taking a break. After failing to catch a {{p|Buizel}}, Zoey said that she would continue fishing at the lake to try to obtain a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. | |||
In ''[[ | In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Zoey sprained her ankle and could not make the walk back to her camp site. Fortunately, Dawn and her friends were able to help her up and take her there. Upon arriving, Zoey introduced the group her {{TP|Zoey|Shellos}}, which was {{pkmn2|caught}} in the same lake Dawn had caught {{AP|Buizel}}. She also showed Dawn a video of a [[Double Performance]] and shared that the upcoming Hearthome Contest would use the format. When Jessilina appeared and challenged Dawn to a battle, Zoey decided to fight instead. She was able to defeat Jessilina using beautiful and effective [[Contest combination|combinations]]. | ||
In ''[[ | In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Zoey met Dawn once more and also met [[Nando]] for the first time. When Nando revealed his decision to participate in both {{pkmn|Contest}}s and [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s, Zoey became angry and said he needed to make up his mind. Zoey made it to the finals of the Hearthome Contest but lost. She was upset for not only her loss but also that she was unable to beat someone who was not "fully dedicated" to Contests in her eyes. | ||
In ''[[ | Zoey was the main reason why Ash and Dawn [[trade]]d their {{AP|Aipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}. In ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'', she told Dawn to raise Aipom after learning that Ash only entered the Jubilife City Pokémon Contest because Aipom wanted to take a shot at it. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', she suggested that Ash and Dawn should trade their Pokémon with one another. She brought up that Aipom was more interested in competing in Contests instead of battling and vice versa for Buizel. After practicing with each other's Pokémon, they eventually agreed and did the trade. | ||

It was revealed that she had caught a {{p|Finneon}}, and the performance given by the Wing Fish Pokémon took her to the Battle Stage. In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', she lost to {{an|May}} in the semifinals of the event. | ||

Zoey appeared again in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', where she welcomed Dawn and her friends to her [[hometown]], [[Snowpoint City]]. She was showing the town to them when [[Candice]], the [[Snowpoint Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], came up and joined them. It was revealed that Candice is a childhood friend of Zoey and that they went to the same school. Because of this, Zoey often calls her "Miss Senior". She also appeared in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', watching Ash's Gym battle with Candice, and again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where she watched [[Paul]]'s battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. She left at the end of the episode with Candice. | |||

She, along with Candice, helped Dawn train for the {{to|Daybreak}} Contest and the two had a [[Double Battle]] with Zoey winning.

In contrast with many of the [[rival]] characters presented in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Zoey is very friendly with Dawn. She proved numerous times that she cared about Dawn and wanted to help her grow as a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. By helping Dawn become more skilled, the two were able to strengthen their friendship and ensure that they would fulfill their promise of battling each other in the final round of the [[Grand Festival]]. | |||
Zoey has been seen motivating Dawn on several occasions. For example, it was revealed in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'' that Zoey had suggested to Ash that he should enter Dawn in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] to give her a confidence boost after not making it into the second round of the Hearthome Contest. Also, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she was seen watching the {{to|Solaceon}} Contest from a [[Pokémon Center]]. After seeing Dawn failing to pass the Performance Stage again, she decided to meet up with her and tell her what she was doing wrong. Zoey met up with Dawn at the end of the episode and told her that she had made her appeal too flashy, forgetting that the Pokémon themselves are supposed to be the main attraction. Once again, Zoey went out of her way to help Dawn become more skilled. | |||
Zoey is very loyal to her friends but has no problem giving them tough criticism when the time calls for it. However if one of her friends is being mistreated, she wastes no time sticking up for them. Such examples include her sticking up for {{an|Dawn}} when she was being made fun of by [[Jessie|Jessilina]] in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Despite having a sprained ankle, she still battled in Dawn's defense. She also defended {{Ash}} when [[Paul]] was being rude to him in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''. | Zoey is very loyal to her friends but has no problem giving them tough criticism when the time calls for it.

She initially was against people who wanted to compete in both {{pkmn|Contest}}s and [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s, saying they needed to make up their minds. This is seen in her reactions to Ash in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'' and [[Nando]] in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. For that she apologized to Ash for her behavior in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' after realizing that it was good to learn from both types of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. It was revealed in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' that the reason for this trait in her character was that while she wanted to be a {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}}, [[Candice]] wanted to be a Champion Trainer. They promised each other to follow their goals and as such Zoey looked down on people who did both since she thought they weren't taking them seriously. | She initially was against people who wanted to compete in both {{pkmn|Contest}}s and [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s, saying they needed to make up their minds.
