Virgil first met Ash Ketchum and his friends on the road to Higaki City where a bunch of boulders were blocking the path. Virgil's Espeon was sent out to rescue them the rocks came loose and Ash Ketchum and Iris began to fall off the cliff. Virgil was in the area after a report indicated that the road was blocked. He then revealed to them that he was part of the Pokémon Rescue Squad and lives just nearby. Ash Ketchum noted that Virgil has a very kind personality as all his Eievui's love him.

As a member of the Pokémon Rescue Squad, Virgil does rescue operations together with his Pokémon. The Rescue Squad has a number of teams but Virgil is part of Team Eievui. Virgil's father Jeff, who likes helping people, started a voluntary service together with his big brother Davy. Today they co-operate with the Officer Jenny (Unova) of the city and do rescue operations in various places. Virgil joined after his training journey.

While Virgil was about Ash Ketchum's age, he went out to explore the forest with the first Eievui he had befriended. Getting carried away, he walked in too far. Not only had he become lost in the forest, but the sun had also set; just when he thought all hope was lost, his Eievui evolved into Blacky. Thanks to Virgil's Umbreon, Virgil got out of the forest and a special bond between him and Eievui was born.
