Morikawa entered the Pokémon Academy with a Magikarp, and was assigned to the last class. He was called "Fishmonger" and lost thirteen games in a row. He trains with fish every morning, and every time the fish is knocked away, it slaps his face with its tail, as if to say "come again." As a sophomore, he only climbed from the bottom to the bottom. In the junior year points match, King Magikarp was hit by the Wind Speed Dog "Flame Wheel" and evolved into a red Gyarados in a desperate situation - the "Fish Trader" turned into the "Crimson Tide Tyrant" overnight. After graduation, challenge the Eight Avenues of Kanto and travel around Kanto with the five Pokémon you have conquered. In the Quartz Conference held every four years, the red Gyarados faced off against the "Dragon Stars" in the finals. Its scales changed from red to red gold, and it won the championship with the "Reverse Scale·Final Style".
