When Sorrel was younger, his family owned a {{p|Luxray}} that he was close to. One day, he and Luxray got lost in a forest during a blizzard, and Luxray covered him and used its body so he could be warm. When the blizzard was over and it was morning, Sorrel realized that Luxray had frozen to death. As a result, he distanced himself from other Pokémon. Later on, an encounter with a {{p|Lucario}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}}, restored his faith in making friends with Pokémon.

Sorrel first appeared in a [[Pokémon Center]], where he overheard another [[trainer]] mention the appearance of a wild {{p|Entei}}. He was among the trainers who went out into the nearby forest to seek Entei, and had a brief battle with Entei using his partner Pokémon, Lucario. After Entei fled, he introduced himself to {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} and [[Verity]] before leaving them with the warning that rain would be coming soon.

Ash and Verity encountered Sorrel again some time later, when they took a [[Ash's Charmander|Charmander]] abandoned by [[Cross]] to a cave for shelter. He assisted them in healing Charmander with his medicine-making skills and decided to travel along with them. When Entei came into the cave to watch over a group of wild Pokémon, Sorrel explained the mythology of the [[legendary beasts]] and their relationship to {{an|Ho-Oh}}. When Ash revealed his possession of a [[Rainbow Wing]], the three decided to travel to [[Mount Tensei]] in the Raizen Mountains, where Ho-Oh was said to live.

As their adventures continued, Ash introduced Sorrel and Verity to his mother [[Delia]] via a video call from another Pokémon Center. Sorrel found a book about Ho-Oh in the Pokémon Center's library, from which the group learned of the danger the Rainbow Wing could pose if held by someone with an impure heart. He then watched as Ash battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}} and lost decisively. That night, Ash snapped and lashed out in anger over his loss, rejecting Sorrel, Verity and even Pikachu. However, he apologized for this a short while later after experiencing a vision shown to him by {{OBP|Marshadow|M20|Marshadow}} of a world with no Pokémon at all. Seeing Ash's reunion with Pikachu, Sorrel decided to explain his past to Ash and Verity, telling them of Luxray's death, his subsequent distancing himself from Pokémon, and his ultimate meeting with Lucario.

After witnessing Ash's emotional farewell to his [[Ash's Butterfree|Butterfree]], Sorrel reached Mount Tensei with Ash and Verity. There, they encountered [[Bonji]], the author of the book they had read earlier. With Bonji in tow, the group used the Rainbow Wing to show the way to the crystal altar on Mount Tensei where Ho-Oh would be summoned. However, before Ash could place the Rainbow Wing on the altar, the group were ambushed by Cross, who had covertly followed them into the Raizen Mountains. Sorrel watched with Verity and Bonji as Ash fought Cross once more, finally coming out victorious over Incineroar once Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. Cross confessed that he had also seen Ho-Oh, but was not gifted the Rainbow Wing like Ash was. Unwilling to accept this outcome, Cross stole the Rainbow Wing, causing it to immediately turn black due to his evil heart. When he placed it on the altar to summon Ho-Oh, Marshadow appeared instead and attempted to seal the Rainbow Wing away, only to be corrupted by the darkness surrounding it. Marshadow used its power to take control of the Pokémon who had assembled to see Ho-Oh, turning them against the humans. Sorrel was forced to fight off the vicious attack alongside Verity and a repetant Cross, but they were unable to turn the tide of the battle. Meanwhile, Ash tried to reach the Rainbow Wing only to be impeded by Marshadow, who quickly defeated Pikachu before sending its army after them. To protect Pikachu from a combined attack by the army, Ash sacrificed himself to take the blast instead and vanished. Pikachu unleashed a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} that overwhelmed Marshadow and the Pokémon, undoing Marshadow's corruption and freeing the Pokémon to end the massive battle. A new Rainbow Wing appeared and Ash soon returned, apparently saved from his fate by Ho-Oh's power. Ash then placed the new Rainbow Wing on the altar, calling Ho-Oh forth to heal all of his friends. Sorrel then watched with the others as Ash challenged Ho-Oh to a battle with Pikachu.

Some time after the battle, the group left Bonji behind and traveled to a Pokémon Center near Mount Tensei.

Sorrel (Japanese: ソウジ Souji) is a major character who appeared in I Choose You!. He is a young Trainer and one of Ash's traveling companions in that movie. His goal is to become a Pokémon Professor and he is currently on a journey gathering data on Legendary Pokémon.

In the movies

Sorrel when he was younger

When Sorrel was younger, his family owned a Luxray that he was close to. One day, he and Luxray got lost in a forest during a blizzard, and Luxray covered him and used its body so he could be warm. When the blizzard was over and it was morning, Sorrel realized that Luxray had frozen to death. As a result, he distanced himself from other Pokémon. Later on, an encounter with a Lucario, which he caught, restored his faith in making friends with Pokémon.

Sorrel first appeared in a Pokémon Center, where he overheard another Trainer mention the appearance of a wild Entei. He was among the Trainers who went out into the nearby forest to seek out Entei, and had a brief battle with Entei using Lucario. After Entei fled, he introduced himself to Ash and Verity before leaving them with a warning that rain would be coming soon.

Ash and Verity encountered Sorrel again some time later, when they took a Charmander abandoned by Cross to a cave for shelter. He assisted them in healing Charmander with his medicine-making skills and decided to travel with them. When Entei came into the cave to watch over a group of wild Pokémon, Sorrel explained the mythology of the legendary beasts and their relationship to Ho-Oh. When Ash revealed his possession of a Rainbow Wing, the three decided to travel to Mount Tensei in the Raizen Mountains, where Ho-Oh was said to live.

As their adventures continued, Ash introduced Sorrel and Verity to his mother Delia via a video call from another Pokémon Center. Sorrel found a book about Ho-Oh in the Pokémon Center's library, from which the group learned of the danger the Rainbow Wing could pose if held by someone with an impure heart. He watched as Ash battled Cross's Incineroar with his newly evolved Charmeleon and lost decisively. That night, Ash snapped and lashed out in anger over his loss, rejecting Sorrel, Verity, and even Pikachu. However, he apologized for this a short while later. Seeing Ash's reunion with Pikachu, Sorrel decided to explain his past to Ash and Verity, telling them of Luxray's death, his decision to distance himself from Pokémon, and his life-changing meeting with Lucario.

After witnessing Ash's emotional farewell to his Butterfree, Sorrel reached Mount Tensei with Ash and Verity. There, they encountered Bonji, the author of the book they read earlier. With Bonji in tow, the group used the Rainbow Wing to show the way to the crystal altar on Mount Tensei where Ho-Oh would be summoned. However, before Ash could place the Rainbow Wing on the altar, the group was ambushed by Cross, who had covertly followed them to the Raizen Mountains.

Unwilling to accept this outcome, Cross stole the Rainbow Wing, causing it to immediately turn black due to his evil heart. When he placed it on the altar to summon Ho-Oh, Marshadow appeared instead and attempted to seal the Rainbow Wing away, only to be corrupted by the darkness surrounding it.

Marshadow used its power to take control of the Pokémon who had assembled to see Ho-Oh, turning them against the humans. Sorrel was forced to fight off the attack alongside Verity and a repentant Cross, but they were unable to turn the tide of the battle. Once the situation was resolved, Ash placed a new Rainbow Wing on the altar, calling Ho-Oh forth to heal all of his friends.
