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 capture a {{p|Buizel}}, Zoey said that she would continue fishing at the lake to try to capture a {{ type|Water}} Pokémon.

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 took her there. Upon arriving, Zoey introduced the group her [[Zoey's Gastrodon|Shellos]], which was captured 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 City Contest would follow the rule. 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]], even though the battle was not a Contest Battle.

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 not only upset about her loss, but also angry that she was not able to beat someone who was not "fully dedicated" to contests in her eyes.

Zoey was largely responsible for the [[trade]] of [[Ash's Aipom]] and [[Dawn's Buizel]]. In ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'', she first suggested that Ash should give his 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.

Zoey reappeared in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]]. It was revealed that she had captured a {{p|Finneon}}, and the wonderful appeal of 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.

Zoey's next appearance was 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}} 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.

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]]s round 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 ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', she battled [[Nando]] in the semi finals with her {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} and managed to win the match. In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', she found herself up against {{an|Dawn}} in the final round, fulfilling the promise they had made to one day meet in the finals of the Grand Festival. 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 a few points. Having won the Grand Festival, she was awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]] as well as the title of {{DL|Grand Festival|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.

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

==Character==
==Character==
Unlike many of the rival characters presented in the series, Zoey is very friendly with Dawn. After their first contest, the two promised to meet in the finals of the Grand Festival. 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 and ensure that they would fulfill their promise of battling each other for the title of Top Coordinator. There are numerous instances of Zoey motivating Dawn. 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 [[Solaceon Town]] Contest from a [[Pokémon Center]]. After seeing Dawn failing to pass the appeals stage, she decided to meet her and tell her where she was going 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 was supposed to be 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}} after she felt [[Paul]] was being rude to him in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''.
