Joey

Joey is first seen in Level 2, Route 1 singing the Pokemon theme song with his Pidgey when he gets hypnotized by Team Rocket 's Drowzee. Team Rocket orders Joey to command the wild pokemon to grab the rare candy. When the Player defeats Joey's Pidgey, Joey breaks free of the hypnotism and joins up with the Player to stop Team Rocket.

While looking for Team Rocket, Joey finds a weakened Rattata and catches it. The caught Rattata is used with Joey's Pidgey to help the Player stop the hypnotized wild pokemon from stealing more rare candy.

When entering Viridian Forest, Joey scares off Pikachu Sammy, Danny and Manny. He then gets depressed about never being able to catch another Pokemon just before he gets challenge to a battle before his opponent runs of scared from a Beedrill. As soon as Joey finds some rare candy to be defended he gets carried away by a Beedrill.

Team Rocket capture Joey, as the Beedrill left Joey wrapped in a String Shot unable to move just as he caught caught in a Pokeball. Brock orders Team Rocket to bring the rare candy and Joey to the Gym to move along the plan. The Player gets teleported to the Gym by Mewtwo to save Joey. When the Player beats Brock, the tables turn onto Team Rocket So while Brock battles Team Rocket, Joey's Beedrill is sent out to battle Team Rocket. Instead of helping Beedrill flies of with Joey again allowing Team Rocket to escape.

When Joey is rescued the Player and him seperate to go catch some Pokemon. Joey finds Pikachu Sammy and gets close to it by being disguised as a Pikachu. Joey jumps on Pikachu and it shocks him. He jumps off and throws a Pokeball at it. This doesn't work so Joey brings out his Rattata, and has it Tackle Pikachu, allowing Joey to catch the Pikachu.

When Joey first uses Pikachu in Mt. Moon 1, Pikachu shocks everyone including Joey and Brock , it then runs off without them before the Zubat attack.

In the Cerulean Gym level, Joey uses Body Slam on an Abra, just missing, because Abra teleports away to Mt. Moon. Joey then enters Cerulean Gym to see Maruto being defeated by Misty. Joey then challenges Misty to a gym battle, and his Beedrill is defeated by Misty's Starmie. Joey then thinks that Misty is working with Team Rocket. After defending the Rare Candy, Joey and Maruto follow Misty to another pool. They see Misty supposedly standing on water, until it is revealed that Kyogre is under Misty.

The Player, Joey and Maruto head to nugget bridge on Route 24. The Player goes across first, but on the way encounters trainers that want to battle him/her. After he/she beats all the trainers, a giant Kabuto appears, who is actually Bill in disguise. He gives the team three SS Anne tickets, and they leave. After this, Joey, Maruto and the Player head on to Route 5 and train their pokemon. They then head to Vermillion City, where they find it empty, leading to Joey challenging Maruto to a battle. However, their battle is interupted by the arrival of Team Rocket goons, Tom and Jerry.
