Sokka is a Water Tribe warrior, and the leader and tactician of Team Avatar. Although he lacks waterbending abilities, he still possesses a multitude of skills, and has become a valuable asset to the team.

PS2 version
Aang found Sokka while looking for Katara. The two embarked on a search for Appa and discovered the flying bison battling a Fire Nation machine. Once they defeated the machine, the two climbed on Appa and traveled to a small island where, according to a villager, Zuko's ship had gone. The two left the Water Tribe and traveled to an Earth Kingdom village, referred to as the Port Village. Outside the village, Sokka and Aang discovered the capability of becoming invisible. This ability helped them sneak past the guards and enter the settlement. In the village, the duo met the village elder who stated she had not seen Katara, but would ask around for information and clues. In the meantime, she told them they could roam safely without revealing their identities by stealing Fire Nation Army uniforms.

Sokka and Aang headed to the nearby Fire Nation barracks where they found uniforms before returning to the village. Upon returning, the elder appealed to them for help with a major issue. She told them that the village's food was mysteriously disappearing. The two agreed to help and went on to fight several small groups of hog monkeys to get to the mountains.

There, they discovered that the Fire Nation was stealing and storing the village's food inside a cave located high in the mountains. Sokka and Aang informed the elder of this, and she thanked them. She also told them to appeal to the Dock Merchant for information. They found the Dock Merchant at the docks, and were told that he saw Zuko's ship being captured and taken to the village docks where the jailer then imprisoned him and Katara in the mountains. With this information, Sokka and Aang headed to the prison. Upon arrival at the Fire Nation prison, Sokka and Aang fought their way through several firebenders, spear-wielding men, and soldiers. They then battled a firebending captain at the bottom level of the prison, where Katara was being kept. Once freed, she told Sokka and Aang about a machine maker named Lian who was being forced to create machines and was locked up in that prison. The team entered a large prison chamber where they found the jailer meditating. The jailer demonstrated great skill in firebending, but was ultimately defeated by the team. They discovered that Lian had escaped and left a map showing direction from the Northern Water Tribe, to the village, to another earth village, and finally the city of Omashu.

Team Avatar then journeyed to an earth village on Appa. Once there, Team Avatar aided Tyro, Haru, and the other earthbenders who were being attacked by the machines. Tyro then told them that one of their own members, Yuan, had been kidnapped. Haru joined the team to help find his friend. When they reached the island, the gang found the Maker, Lian, creating more machines. Aang refused her help, seeing as how the machines were disrupting villages. Lian voiced her contempt for him and sent a machine to fight them. While the gang was distracted, Lian fled to a nearby air temple in an attempt to destroy the Avatar statues. Aang journeyed to the temple alone, leaving Sokka, Katara, and Haru behind. Aang managed to stop Lian by defeating all the machines in the temple. However, while investigating the source of a strange noise, Sokka, Katara, and Haru were captured by another machine, which quickly fled.

Aang followed the trail the machine had left to a fortress. Inside the fortress, he found Sokka, Katara, and Haru trapped, and rescued them. While searching the fortress for Lian, the gang briefly encountered Zuko who was being held captive. Aang attempted to help him, but Zuko attacked the group and was swept away in a waterfall. Team Avatar then entered the fortress, where they found Lian, having finished a machine being manned by the missing waterbender Hiryu, Haru's friend Yuan, and a nameless firebender. Lian voiced her contempt for benders in general, saying "thinkers should be in charge, not magicians". Believing that division of the elements was the real reason behind the war, her machines would be used to "even the playing field". Sokka, being a non-bender, voiced his disagreement with her opinion.

Lian then called out to the missing benders, including Yuan, who were willing to aid her by powering the Ultimation, a war machine capable of controlling fire, earth, water, sound, and air.

Team Avatar's combined attacks managed to subdue the machine. When Aang became momentarily distracted, the Ultimation tried to attack him from behind. Before the machine could harm Aang, Katara jumped in the way and took the attack, consequently being knocked unconscious. An enraged Aang then went into the Avatar State and destroyed the machine, making it topple over Lian.

Haru and Yuan reconciled, and the team left the scene on Appa. Haru then asked Sokka if he never liked benders as he said with Lian, to which the latter commented that he finds them alright. He was then teased by Aang and Katara, much to his aggravation.

Fong's base
Team Avatar flew on Appa toward General Fong's base. When Appa sneezed, Aang and Katara fell off him into the base; Sokka and Appa left in search of food and something to drink. Aang and Katara encountered General Fong and his soldiers, and defeated them. They faced another wave of soldiers which they defeat once again. Witnessing this, Fong resorted to fighting them himself in an attempt to induce the Avatar State. He accomplished his goal, but he was ultimately defeated and knocked out by Sokka's boomerang. Sokka inquired whether the soldiers had a problem with that to which they replied they did not. The guards offered Team Avatar an escort to Omashu, a proposition they declined. The team departed the base and headed toward Omashu which, unbeknownst to them, was under Fire Nation control.

Omashu
Team Avatar flew toward Omashu on Appa, only to discover that the city had been taken over by the Fire Nation. Katara opposed entering the city and stated that Aang should find a different teacher. However, Aang rebutted her and said that it was not about finding an earthbending teacher anymore, but about helping a friend in need. Aang stated that he knew a secret way into the city, so they continued onward.



Upon arrival at the secret passageway to Omashu, Sokka stuck his head into it, resulting in several purple pentapi clinging to his face. While Katara searched for a suitable hiding place for Appa, Sokka and Aang made their way through the passageway. While walking, the two encountered two Fire Nation soldiers who questioned their intentions. To ward them off, Sokka feigned having the imaginary disease, "pentapox", prompting the guards to run away in panic.

He and Aang reached a pipe where they could overhear the soldiers discussing their encounter with another Fire Nation soldier. The higher-up told one of the men to inform the governor about the spreading disease, while the other was to remain in the passageway. Eventually, Sokka and Aang found an earthbender who earthbent them to the secret resistance camp.

Once there, the two were questioned as to how they had made it to the camp, to which Aang responded that they were friends of King Bumi. In order to aid the resistance in exiting the city without ensuing violence, Sokka devised a plan in which everyone in the resistance camp would contract "pentapox". The resistance camp leader commented that it was a good plan, although many pentapi and supplies were needed. Sokka and Aang were subsequently earthbent up into the city to acquire the needed supplies. They ultimately succeeded in procuring the supplies, which they gave to the resistance leader.

Once Aang and Katara finished their quest for Bumi, the team left Omashu in search of Aang's new earthbending teacher.

While traveling to Ba Sing Se, the team encountered a tornado and was consequently split into pairs. Aang, along with Sokka, found that Fire Nation waste was polluting the swamp. Together, they cleaned it up and then pressed forward. They found Katara in a nearby village, where they were informed that a group of men from the village were hunting Appa for dinner. Aang and Katara went to the location where he was last seen, where they encountered the swamp monster. Once they defeated it and secured Appa, the villagers, who actually formed the swamp monster, educated Aang about the swamp's spirituality. When Aang received a vision of his future earthbending teacher and an impending peril in Ba Sing Se, the gang departed, headed toward the city.
