Annie (Japanese: ザンナー Zanner) is the partner and older sister of Oakley. They both appear in Pokémon Heroes.
History
Not much is known about Annie or her sister before Pokémon Heroes, but they are still instantly recognized by James.
In the dub, they were assigned a mission by Giovanni, implying Team Rocket membership, but this is not present in the original.
Character
Unlike her younger sister Oakley, Annie is a less concerned with their goal. More concerned about her appearance, more stable and more suave than her sister, Annie is enchanted by the beauty of the Soul Dew rather than the abilities of the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare or capturing Latias and Latios for Giovanni.
Annie is also very charming and a very good manipulator. Like her sister, she is very tech-savvy and thorough in her work. She is also an exceptional athlete. She is very similar in personality to Oakley in the sense that they are both vain thrill-seekers- but Annie lacks the megalomania and thirst for power of her sister, but not the cruelty and the ruthless determination to succeed.
Abilities
As mentioned before, Annie has excellent balance and athletic abilities, making huge leaps and cartwheels while fighting Latios and Latias with no trouble and keeping perfect balance on a beam which Jessie, James and Meowth have trouble with. She also has some advanced technology at hand, including the glasses which can identify Latias when disguised and can see Latias and Latios when invisible. They can also capture Latios using what appears to be a net composed of energy.
However, she rarely uses these devices; their operation usually falls to Oakley.

Latios and his sister, Latias, lived in the Secret Garden in Alto Mare, where they were the guardians of the Soul Dew. They were friends with Lorenzo and Bianca. Latios and Latias presented some very unique powers in the movie, such as sight-sharing, invisibility, and shapeshifting. In the end of the movie, Latios had to sacrifice himself to save Alto Mare, becoming the first Pokémon to die in the anime, and turned into the new Soul Dew, just like his father in the past. | ||
