Zoey (Pokémon)

Zoey (Japanese: ノゾミ Nozomi) is a recurring character from Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl. She is a Pokémon Coordinator from Snowpoint City in the Sinnoh region. Eager to start out, she enjoys getting ready for the contests.
She is a very confident Pokémon Coordinator and is eager to help out other Coordinators if she feels that they need it. However, despite this, if necessary, she will trounce them in the Contests. She is Dawn's friend and rival and Candice's childhood friend, She also won the Sinnoh Grand Festival in the finals against Dawn to become the Top Coordinator. Her major rivals are Dawn and Nando.
She was voiced by Risa Hayamizu in the Japanese original version, and by Emily Williams in the English version.
== Biography ==
Zoey is Dawn's main rival in the Sinnoh region as a Pokémon coordinator. Despite her tomboyish appearance, she gets along with everyone pretty well, though she does get angry at Ash when he first thought it would be a good idea to be both a Pokémon trainer and coordinator. She mellows out, however, after some experience with him and Nando.
== Personality ==
Zoey, being so devoted to her own dream of becoming Top Coordinator, originally took offense at Trainers who tried both coordinating and battling, assuming them to be less invested in their dreams. This brought her into conflict with both Ash (who early in his Sinnoh adventure dabbled in Contests himself) and Nando (for whom doing both was his primary goal). While she eased off after facing off with Ash, they still agreed he'd not be the best fit for Contests due to his temperament. Then, Nando blew her away by clobbering her at the Hearthome Contest. By the time of the Wallace Cup, she accepted her perspective to have been close-minded and properly apologized to Ash for her attitude; later, she battled Gym Leader Fantina (a former Top Coordinator) in a straight match which she enjoyed, Despite these flaws, Zoey truly does have a big heart and truly does shine especially when she standing up for her friends including Ash and Dawn, it shined further when she defeated Jessie of Team Rocket with her Glameow. 
== Abilities ==
Zoey is one of the most skilled Pokémon Coordinators in the series. She ends up winning the Sinnoh Grand Festival and comes away with the prized Ribbon Cup, after a long and hard match with Dawn that comes straight down to the wire.
