Ecruteak Gym - Pokémon Masters EX

Ecruteak Gym often attracts those who wish to attain mystical and occult powers. Among those seeking to train under Morty, the gym's leader, are mediums and the Hex Maniac community. He is excited about this, believing that they liven up the place.

After hearing some people talking about how they find the Ecruteak Gym a little scary, Morty considered brightening up the entryway with a nice flower arrangement. 

Morty's Ho-Oh - Pokémon Masters EX

Meeting them on Pasion, Morty believed their encounter and eventual friendship was a miracle. 

He would often get so excited while training with them, that he would lose track of time, training well into the night. Because of this, they worry about him, fearing that he gets too hasty and overworks himself.

Ho-Oh decides to help put Morty at ease, leading him to a quiet, calming place, where he could just breathe and focus on himself. 

Morty's Gengar - Pokémon Masters EX

When Morty travelled to Pasio to compete in the PML, he decided to leave Gengar behind, hoping to use the opportunity to get to know his Drifblim better.

Monty's Drifblim - Pokémon Masters EX

As part of their training back at Ecruteak Gym, Morty would try to detect his presence, closing his eyes and trying to sense where he is.

Morty admires Drifblim, and secretly wishes to be more like him - just drifting without a care wherever the wind takes me. However, his training, discipline and drive to find Ho-Oh prevent him from doing so. 

He brought him to Pasio to compete in the Pokémon Masters League, hoping it would help them grow even closer.
