After coming to, Henry discovered the Rusted Sword and Shield he was looking for had disappeared. Casey was distraught to find that her Pokémon had gone missing.

======
Henry debuted in Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon. He was first seen rescuing a young boy named Marvin from falling off a cliff. Later, Marvin was taken to Henry by Casey in order to properly thank him for saving his life earlier. After a brief introduction, Casey offered to let Marvin participate in a Dynamax simulation with her and Henry. Together, they fought and defeated a Dynamax hologram, giving Marvin the confidence to set out on a Pokémon journey. Having received approval from his parents, Marvin joined the others on their quest to study Dynamax. Later, everyone found Leon on the outskirts of Wedgehurst, trying to move a large flock of off of some train tracks. Henry and Casey stepped in to help, driving off an that was terrorizing the Wooloo. After introducing themselves, Leon left to appear on a television program in Motostoke. To Marvin's surprise, Henry and Casey revealed they helped Leon hoping that their efforts would leave enough of an impression that he'd give them an endorsement for the Gym Challenge.
In Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw, a trio of attacked Magnolia's trailer house. In order to battle the Bite Pokémon, Henry and Casey each received a Rotom Phone with a Pokédex function installed, officially making them both Pokédex holders. With some assistance from Sobble, the Drednaw were defeated. Afterwards, Professor Magnolia suggested Marvin keep Sobble, which he happily accepted.
In Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light, Henry and the others arrived in the Wild Area. While they traveled, Casey was delivered a package that contained Gym Challenge uniforms for her and Henry. When a pair of s tried to destroy the uniforms, Henry and Casey pushed them into a Pokémon Den, forcing the four to team up in a Max Raid Battle against the wild that lurked inside. Eventually, the Gurdurr was defeated and caught by Henry, but the Grunts' Pokémon were knocked out during the battle, forcing them to flee.
In Watch Out!! Strong Rivals, Henry and Casey registered for the Gym Challenge in Motostoke. The group encountered Sonia, a researcher and Magnolia's granddaughter. When the trailer car broke down, Magnolia asked the others to research the geoglyph in Turffield in her place. Along the way, on , Henry and the others met Hop, Bede, and Marnie, a trio of Gym Challengers. They were unable to progress due to a large boulder blocking the entrance to Galar Mine. After Casey and the others moved the boulder and went ahead, Henry stayed behind to talk with Bede. Henry pointed out Bede was trying to protect the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain Wishing Stars that could be found inside the mine. Later, the others gathered at Turffield Stadium, where they watched Henry face Milo in a Gym battle and won. Once Casey won her match, she, Henry, and Marvin prepared to head off to the next Gym in Hulbury.
In Toasty!! Battle Against Toxapex, Henry trained with Marvin in Hulbury to prepare for his upcoming Gym battle. Though Marvin eventually called the battle off, gained enough experience to evolve into a . Shortly afterwards, Henry and Marvin encountered Rose, who revealed that Hulbury's Gym Leader Nessa also worked as a model. Later, everyone went to Hulbury Stadium, where Henry faced Nessa in a Gym battle. Despite the power of Nessa's Gigantamax , it lost to Twiggy after it Dynamaxed, making Henry the winner. Afterwards, Henry and Sonia had dinner with Rose at the Captain's Table restaurant. Noting Sonia's study of the Dynamax phenomenon, Rose invited her to investigate the vault in Hammerlocke.
In Blazing!! Bede's Feelings, Henry was confronted by Bede, who had been infuriated after learning of Henry's dinner with Rose. Wanting Henry to retire from the Gym Challenge, Bede challenged him to a but lost. Despite this, Bede revealed the reason he was collecting Wishing Stars was to help Rose. 
In Thump!! The Gazing Sage, after completing the third Gym, Henry used his newly-obtained Rotom Bike to head to Hammerlocke. Upon arriving, he was greeted by Raihan, the Hammerlocke Gym Leader, and challenged to a battle that ended in Raihan's victory. They went to the vault, only to find Sonia under attack by a wild . Noticing that Oranguru was angered after Sonia accidentally stepped on its fan, Henry had his and Raihan's Pokémon keep Oranguru busy, allowing him to fix the fan. Calmed down, the Sage Pokémon thanked Henry and joined his team, where it was nicknamed Fanguru. Henry and Sonia entered the vault, where they found tapestries depicting two heroes involved in the Darkest Day instead of the singular hero portrayed on the statue in the Budew Drop Inn. 
In Glittering!! The Tapestry in the Vault, after reuniting with the others, Henry traveled to Stow-on-Side, where he fought Allister in a Gym battle. While he went up against Allister's Gigantamax , Henry heard the voice of his deceased father and swordsmith master, giving him the determination to win. Later, after arriving in Ballonlea, Henry prepared to face Opal, but wasn't allowed onto the field until he answered one of her quizzes. After giving an answer, Henry was forced to wait for his turn while Hop battled Opal first. In the meantime, Henry trained with Marvin's newly evolved Sniffler to devise a strategy against Opal's Gigantamax . The training proved successful, allowing Henry to defeat Opal. 
In Chomp!! It's Dracovish, Casey was defeated by Opal and eliminated from the Gym Challenge. Henry promised to help keep the public informed of Casey's missing team members. They traveled to Route 9 Tunnel, where people had reported seeing Pokémon Dynamaxing despite it not being a Power Spot. They found several Trainers attacking a wild , but Marvin saved it by catching Dracovish and escaping with the others. Upon arriving at Circhester, the group encountered the Gym Leader Melony, who requested that Henry repair an ice cane tool belonging to her . 
In Crunch!! Snowy Battle, a group of stole the cane and Mr. Rime's Poké Ball. The Pokémon in the area were fans of Mr. Rime, who used to put on performances for them. After reuniting with her Eiscue, Peta, Casey kept the other Pokémon at bay while Henry fixed the cane. When Henry later told Melony the repairs weren't fully completed, she allowed him to keep Mr. Rime, who had taken a liking to Henry. Afterward, Sonia took everyone to the Bob's Your Uncle restaurant, where a fifth tapestry was being held. She speculated it was thrown away to keep a piece of Galar's history out of public knowledge. Upon examining the tapestries, Casey regained some memories of the Slumbering Weald incident. She told Henry the culprits who stole her Pokémon and the Rusted Sword and Shield were a couple of celebrities.
In Grrr!! Noble Kidnappers, Sonia told Henry and the others to meet her around Spikemuth so she could deliver information on the thieves behind the Slumbering Weald incident. While they waited, the trailer car was attacked by a and belonging to Sordward and Shielbert, whom Casey recognized as the thieves from a year ago. The brothers agreed to return Mega and Giga if Casey hand over a camera to them, only for Piers to appear and reveal the camera was in his possession. Piers gave the camera up and convinced the brothers to leave, only to have secretly removed the memory card containing the incriminating data. When the brothers returned for the memory card, Henry and the others uncovered their faces. Sordward and Shielbert attacked Henry and Casey, but were easily defeated by Piers and forced to flee. Casey and the others reunited with Marnie and Hop, the former revealing she and Piers are siblings.
In Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day, after being informed by Leon and Sonia that Rose, Sordward, and Shielbert were working together, Henry's group and the Gym Leaders gathered at Rose Tower to find out if Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar. While the Gym Leaders were impeded by Oleana, Henry, Casey, Bede, Hop, and Marnie went to meet with Rose, only to find he was actually in Hammerlocke. On a video screen, Rose appeared and revealed his plan to restart the Darkest Day and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start Dynamaxing at random. While heading to Hammerlocke, Henry's group watched a news program where Sordward and Shielbert announced their intention to use the Rusted Sword and Shield to take out , the Pokémon causing the Darkest Day. Upon arriving at the Energy Plant, everyone ran into Leon's group and found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.
In Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan, Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent Sordward and Shielbert to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite claiming to be descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, the brothers were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana clarified Rose was working for Galar's benefit and asked everyone help him stop Eternatus. Henry, Casey, and Sonia stayed behind to interrogate Sordward and Shielbert while everyone headed to the summit. Casey was reunited with Giga and Mega, who escaped after Sordward and Shielbert were defeated and retrieved the Rusted Sword and Shield. While Henry tried repairing the rusted items, the others successfully took Eternatus down, only for it to unleash its Eternamax form. Eternatus easily overwhelmed the others, but they were saved by the timely arrival of Zacian and Zamazenta. Believing that the rusted items would return to their original forms if wielded by their proper owners, Casey and Sonia told Henry to give them up. Henry refused, revealing he only took part in the Gym Challenge just to obtain the Rusted Sword and Shield. As Zacian and Zamazenta lifted the rusted items into the air, Henry desperately kept holding onto them, only to be grabbed by Eternatus.
In Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry, Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus with a double , causing a massive explosion of energy and light. Once the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had all vanished. Casey and Marvin reviewed footage of the incident and discovered something ing Henry away just as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus clashed. They also realized Henry's strange behavior earlier was because he touched some of Eternatus's poison. By tracking samples of the poison and the material of the rusted artifacts, they found matching signals on both the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra. With no idea where Henry ended up, Oleana sent Casey, Marvin, Bede, Hop, and Marnie to both locations.
In Flutter!! Tickets to a New Land, Klara and Avery found an unconscious and poisoned Henry at the Soothing Wetlands. They took Henry to the Master Dojo, and with Hyde's Cram-o-matic, Klara made medicine that cured Henry but also caused his hair to rapidly grow. Noticing Henry was reluctant to rejoin his friends due to his behavior at the Tower Summit, Mustard allowed him to stay at the dojo until he was ready to leave. Later, Casey and Marvin arrived at the dojo. After apologizing, Henry joined Casey and Marvin in searching for ingredients capable of curing Eternatus's poison. While they stayed on the island, Henry and Casey received Master Dojo uniforms to wear. Mustard lent Henry his , hoping that traveling around would help Kubfu see the world and overcome its shyness. 
In Whoosh!! To the Forest of Focus, Klara and Avery led Henry's group to the Forest of Focus. They successfully collected the necessary tree sap, only to later anger a and its underlings. Sniffler, Twiggy, and Bit teamed up to fend off the gang, evolving into their final forms in the process. In PASS35, while searching for the rusted items, Henry's group came across the Tower of Darkness. A barred the group from entering unless Henry used Kubfu to defeat her in a one-on-one battle. Despite their best efforts, Kubfu failed to defeat the student's . 
In PASS36, after several days of training, Kubfu decided to train at the Tower of Waters. Henry and Kubfu battled through multiple floors until they reached the top, where Mustard and his was waiting for them. Though Urshifu was a powerful foe, Kubfu eventually defeated it with a supereffective . Mustard allowed Kubfu to examine the Scroll of Waters, causing it to evolve into a Urshifu. With their training complete, Mustard suggested that Henry permanently keep Urshifu on his team, which he accepted. Afterward, Henry joined Casey and Marvin at Loop Lagoon. They located the Rusted Shield in a nearby tree, only to find it guarded by a that flew in from the Crown Tundra with Hop in its talons. With Hop's assistance, Moltres was stunned long enough for Henry to take the shield. The Malevolent Pokémon quickly got back up, grabbed Henry, and carried him to a snow-covered field in the Crown Tundra. There, Henry reunited with Bede, who took him to Freezington to meet Peony. Noting that Henry's personality reminded him of his younger brother, Rose, Peony immediately took a disliking towards the boy. 
In PASS38, Peonia came to participate in Peony's "adven-tours", much to her father's delight. At Peonia's suggestion, Peony also allowed Henry to join his exploration team. That night, Peonia found her father floating in midair. Bede explained that it was the work of , the King of Bountiful Harvests, in order for it to communicate with humans. The three agreed to help restore Calyrex to its former glory in exchange for it locating the Rusted Sword. Henry and the others worked to reunite Calyrex with its former loyal steed, . With the Black Mane Hair collected from Spectrier and the Radiant Petal Calyrex made, Henry forged the Reins of Unity. The group lured Spectrier to the Crown Shrine, but they were interrupted by a Gigantamaxed and . Realizing the Darkest Day had restarted, Henry, Bede, Peony, and Peonia fought off the rampaging giants. With the reins, Calyrex reforged its bond with Spectrier and changed into its form, allowing it to find and retrieve the Rusted Sword.
In PASS41, Henry and Bede returned to the Galar mainland, where they reunited with Casey, Hop, and Marvin. They witnessed Zacian and Zamazenta use the rusted tools to become their forms. They headed to Hammerlocke to face Eternatus once more, but the entrance was blocked by three Gigantamaxed Pokémon. They were used by a trio of nobles demanding that Sordward and Shielbert be released from jail with their status as nobles reinstated. By Gigantamaxing their own Pokémon, Henry, Casey, and Hop defeated the nobles, allowing Bede determine where Eternatus was hiding itself with his Gigantamax . With Eternatus exposed, Zacian and Zamazenta combined their strength to quickly finish off the , putting an end to the Darkest Day.
In PASS43, several months later, Henry decided to search for the tool-wielding in another region. He said his goodbyes to Casey, Marvin, and Sonia and went off to the nearest train station.
==Pokémon==
Henry nicknames his Pokémon by taking the name of the tool they wield and adding the suffix "-n" to the end of it. In the English translations, they are given names relating to their tools. Āman is the only one of Henry's Pokémon without a tool, and as such, its name comes from its ability to protect others.
