White resides in Arborville within the Johto region. After Ash, Misty, and Brock witness Suicune on a riverbank, he transports them to the nearby forest. Leveraging his local knowledge, he aids the group's navigation. When the Iron-Masked Marauder captures and corrupts Celebi, White engages in the rescue operation. He pilots a flying boat during the clash with the Marauder's forest construct, enabling the advance toward Celebi. Following the construct's collapse and Celebi's temporary demise and revival, White is part of the final confrontation subduing the Marauder. He stands with Diana, her grandmother Towa, and the forest Pokémon encircling the defeated antagonist after his crash into the woods, securing accountability. White's actions highlight his bond with the community and environment, safeguarding the forest and its legendary guardian.
