Morty's family has lived in [[Ecruteak City]] for centuries. He teaches classes on {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Ghost}}s at the [[Ecruteak Gym]], and his students also have the privilege of watching him {{pkmn|battle}} challengers.

Morty debuted in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him after they mistakenly went to the [[Burned Tower]], thinking it was the [[Gym]]. Its resident {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon had created an illusion of fire to scare the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s away, but Morty settled them down and introduced himself as the [[Gym Leader]]. He told them about the legend of {{an|Ho-Oh}} and the two towers of Ecruteak. When Ash claimed he had seen Ho-Oh, Morty didn't believe him. Later, when {{TRT}} kidnapped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, he used his powerful {{TP|Morty|Gengar}} to stop them.

In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Ash and Morty had their [[Gym]] battle. Ash was able to defeat him by relying on his {{AP|Noctowl}}'s newly-learned {{m|Confusion}} and {{m|Foresight}} to weaken Morty's Ghost Pokémon. After Morty was defeated, he said he now believed that Ash may very well have seen Ho-Oh, given the great spirit he showed.

Morty appeared during a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''. He later reappeared alongside [[Whitney]] in another flashback in ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', where it was revealed that {{an|Lyra}}'s next Gym challenge was supposed to be one of them.

====Character====
Morty is generally calm. He is also knowledgeable about the legends surrounding [[Ecruteak City]] and {{an|Ho-Oh}}. Aside from {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon being his specialty, Morty also communicates with them and is great friends with the {{pkmn2|wild}} Ghost-types that live in the [[Burned Tower]].
 
Morty is a strategic battler. He utilizes trickery like {{m|Mean Look}} to prevent a challenger from recalling their Pokémon from the match, which is otherwise a guaranteed privilege in all League Gyms. The Ghost-type's invisibility and [[type]] immunity to {{type|Normal}} Pokémon works in Morty's favor. He also knows that most Ghost Pokémon lack physical power, and relies on disabling his opponent by confusing or frightening them.
