[[File:Young Zoey.png|thumb|250px|left|Young Zoey]]
Zoey first debuted in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'' where she made fast friends with Dawn. In the [[DP012|next episode]] she would go on to defeat Dawn in the semifinals of the [[Jubilife City]] {{pkmn|Contest}} before {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Jessie]] in the final round. Furthermore, it was revealed in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]'' that the first [[ribbon]] she won was in a battle with [[Kenny's Empoleon|Kenny's Prinplup]]. She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region.
===Pre-series===
[[File:Young Zoey.png|left|thumb|250px|Young Zoey]]
A few years before becoming a Trainer, a young Zoey found an abandoned {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} on the streets of [[Snowpoint City]]. When taking this Pokémon home, she was prevented from keeping it because of her parents. Zoey then decided to take care of Glameow at her school with the help of [[Candice]] and her teacher at the school, with the promise that Glameow would be her first Pokémon.
 
Years passed and Zoey became obsessed with the dream of becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], while her friend Candice trained to become a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
 
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Zoey debuted 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 [[DP012|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 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 ''[[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 ''[[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.
 
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.


Zoey is largely responsible for the [[trade]] of {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}} and {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}}. In ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival]]'', she first suggested that Ash should give Aipom to Dawn. In ''[[DP055|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 ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Zoey entered the [[Wallace Cup]]. It was revealed that she had caught a {{p|Finneon}}, and the performance given by the {{pkmn|category|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.
[[File:Candice and Zoey.png|thumb|left|250px|Zoey and Candice]]
In ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', Zoey 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 {{an|Brandon}}. She left at the end of the episode with Candice.


In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'' she lost the battle against {{an|May}} in the semi-finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Zoey was shown winning her fifth and final [[Ribbon]] required for the [[Grand Festival]]. She, along with Candice, helped Dawn train for the {{to|Daybreak}} Contest and the two had a [[Double Battle]] with Zoey winning. In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', she and Candice were seen watching Dawn's performance on TV from Snowpoint City.
[[File:ZoeyRibbonCup.png|right|thumb|200px|Zoey and the Ribbon Cup]]
Zoey appeared again in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'' where she was shown battling [[Fantina]]. Zoey battled Fantina's {{p|Mismagius}} with her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} but lost. It was also revealed that {{p|Shellos}} helped her earn her third ribbon.


Zoey appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where Ash and his friends learn about her childhood. It was revealed she had been childhood friends with [[Candice]] and also frequently calls her "Ms. 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. Zoey's next appeared in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' where she was shown winning her fifth and final ribbon required for the Grand Festival. She, along with Candice, helped Dawn train for the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}} and the two had a double battle with Zoey winning.
[[File:Zoey and Dawn.png|thumb|250px|Zoey and Dawn in the Grand Festival]]
Zoey entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', where it was revealed that her {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Finneon}} had evolved into {{TP|Zoey|Gastrodon}} and {{p|Lumineon}}, respectively. Using these two Pokémon, she managed to pass the [[appeal|Performance Stage]] by making use of Gastrodon and Lumineon's Water-type attacks in the [[Contest Hall]]'s pool. In the [[DP175|next episode]], she won her first battle at the event, advancing to the Top 16. In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', she battled Nando in the semifinals with her {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} and managed to win the match.


Zoey entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] and worked her way through the appeals and battles, eventually making it all the way to the final where she found herself up against Dawn once again. The two had a hard-fought battle, with Zoey's {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and {{p|Gallade}} against Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. It was clear the battle could go either way, and eventually the time ran out and Zoey won by a few points. Having won the Grand Festival, she was awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]] as well as the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. After the competition, she plans to go back to [[Snowpoint City]] to visit Candice.
In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', she found herself up against Dawn in the final round. The two had a hard-fought battle, with Zoey's Glameow and {{p|Gallade}} against [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. It was clear that the battle could go either way, but when the time ran out, Zoey won by one point. Having won the Grand Festival, she was awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]] as well as the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. After the competition, she told Dawn that she was going back to Snowpoint City, where Candice was waiting for her with a party to celebrate her victory. She invited Dawn to the party, but Dawn refused saying that she wanted to cheer for Ash in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference|Sinnoh League]]. Zoey then said goodbye and left.


Zoey made a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
She made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. She and her Glameow were shown taking shelter from the rain inside a log.


==Character==
==Character==
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 Dawn when she was being made fun of by "[[Jessie|Jessilina]]" in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Despite having an sprained ankle, she still battled in Dawn's defense. She also defended Ash after she felt [[Paul]] was being rude to him.
[[File:Zoey thanking Candice.png|thumb|left|250px|Zoey thanking Candice]]
In contrast with many of the [[rival]] characters presented in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Zoey is very friendly with {{an|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.
 
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 {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|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.
 
[[File:Zoey defending Ash.png|thumb|250px|Zoey defending Ash from Paul's comments]]
Zoey is very loyal to her friends but has no problem giving them tough criticism when the time calls for it. However, if she feels one of her friends is being mistreated, she wastes no time sticking up for them. Such examples include her sticking up for 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!]]''.
 
She is a childhood friend of [[Candice]] and the two share a strong bond, with Candice having helped Zoey to raise {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} when they were younger and always inspiring Zoey to work hard and do her best. In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Zoey thanked Candice for her continued support after winning her fifth [[Ribbon]] in the {{to|Brussel}} Contest.


She initially had harsh opinions of people who competed in both contests and Gym battles, 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 trainers. It was revealed in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' that the reason for this trait in her character was that while she wanted to be a Top {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, [[Candice]] wanted to be a champion {{pkmn|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.

Zoey's tough demeanor suggests that she is a tomboy. This is further seen in her short haircut and her choice in Contest outfits, which are stylized suits rather than dresses.

History

Young Zoey

Pre-series

A few years before becoming a Trainer, a young Zoey found an abandoned Glameow on the streets of Snowpoint City. When taking this Pokémon home, she was prevented from keeping it because of her parents. Zoey then decided to take care of Glameow at her school with the help of Candice and her teacher at the school, with the promise that Glameow would be her first Pokémon.

Years passed and Zoey became obsessed with the dream of becoming a Top Coordinator, while her friend Candice trained to become a Champion.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Zoey debuted in Mounting a Coordinator Assault!, where she quickly made friends with 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 Misdreavus was enough to take her to the Battle Round. In the following episode, she defeated Ash, Dawn, and Jessilina with her Glameow, winning the Jubilife Contest and earning her second Ribbon. Later in Getting the Pre-Contest Titters! it was revealed that Zoey's first Ribbon had been won in a battle against Kenny's Prinplup. She has a Contest Pass for the Sinnoh region.

In 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 Buizel, Zoey said that she would continue fishing at the lake to try to obtain a Water-type Pokémon.

In 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 Shellos, which was caught in the same lake Dawn had caught 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 combinations.

In 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 Contests and Gym battles, 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.

Zoey was the main reason why Ash and Dawn traded their Aipom and Buizel. In 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 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.

In Staging a Heroes' Welcome!, Zoey entered the Wallace Cup. It was revealed that she had caught a Finneon, and the performance given by the Wing Fish Pokémon took her to the Battle Stage. In Strategy with a Smile!, she lost to May in the semifinals of the event.

Zoey and Candice

In Classroom Training!, Zoey welcomed Dawn and her friends to her hometown, Snowpoint City. She was showing the town to them when Candice, the Snowpoint Gym 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 Sliding Into Seventh!, watching Ash's Gym battle with Candice, and again in A Pyramiding Rage!, where she watched Paul's battle against Brandon. She left at the end of the episode with Candice.

In Double-Time Battle Training!, Zoey was shown winning her fifth and final Ribbon required for the Grand Festival. She, along with Candice, helped Dawn train for the Daybreak Contest and the two had a Double Battle with Zoey winning. In Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!, she and Candice were seen watching Dawn's performance on TV from Snowpoint City.

Zoey and Dawn in the Grand Festival

Zoey entered the Sinnoh Grand Festival in Last Call — First Round!, where it was revealed that her Shellos and Finneon had evolved into Gastrodon and Lumineon, respectively. Using these two Pokémon, she managed to pass the Performance Stage by making use of Gastrodon and Lumineon's Water-type attacks in the Contest Hall's pool. In the next episode, she won her first battle at the event, advancing to the Top 16. In Coming Full-Festival Circle!, she battled Nando in the semifinals with her Mismagius and Leafeon and managed to win the match.

In A Grand Fight for Winning!, she found herself up against Dawn in the final round. The two had a hard-fought battle, with Zoey's Glameow and Gallade against Dawn's Piplup and Togekiss. It was clear that the battle could go either way, but when the time ran out, Zoey won by one point. Having won the Grand Festival, she was awarded the Ribbon Cup as well as the title of Top Coordinator. After the competition, she told Dawn that she was going back to Snowpoint City, where Candice was waiting for her with a party to celebrate her victory. She invited Dawn to the party, but Dawn refused saying that she wanted to cheer for Ash in the Sinnoh League. Zoey then said goodbye and left.

She made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions. She and her Glameow were shown taking shelter from the rain inside a log.

Character

Zoey thanking Candice

In contrast with many of the rival characters presented in the anime, Zoey is very friendly with Dawn. She proved numerous times that she cared about Dawn and wanted to help her grow as a Coordinator. By helping Dawn become more skilled, the two were able to strengthen their friendship.

Zoey has been seen motivating Dawn on several occasions. For example, it was revealed in 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 Team Shocker!, she was seen watching the 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 defending Ash from Paul's comments

Zoey is very loyal to her friends but has no problem giving them tough criticism when the time calls for it. However, if she feels one of her friends is being mistreated, she wastes no time sticking up for them. Such examples include her sticking up for Dawn when she was being made fun of by Jessilina in 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 A Pyramiding Rage!.

She is a childhood friend of Candice and the two share a strong bond, with Candice having helped Zoey to raise Glameow when they were younger and always inspiring Zoey to work hard and do her best. In Double-Time Battle Training!, Zoey thanked Candice for her continued support after winning her fifth Ribbon in the Brussel Contest.

She initially was against people who wanted to compete in both Pokémon Contests and Gym battles, saying they needed 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! after realizing that it was good to learn from both types of Trainers. It was revealed in Classroom Training! that the reason for this trait in her character was that while she wanted to be a 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.

Zoey's tough demeanor suggests that she is a tomboy. This is further seen in her short haircut and her choice in Contest outfits, which are stylized suits rather than dresses.
