'''Rocco''' (Japanese: '''ロック''' ''Rock'') is a main character in the [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]] {{pkmn|manga}}. He considers himself a mysterious thief and is [[Hiori|Pokémon 7's]] self-proclaimed [[rival]]. He likes to call himself "Rock-sama" in the original version which can be seen as reflecting his proud and stuck-up nature, opting in the official translation for Grand Master Rocco. He carries around a Nintendo DS, and was shown playing it because he was bored on Drifblim's ride.
'''Rocco''' (Japanese: '''ロック''' ''Rock'') is a main character in the [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]] {{pkmn|manga}}. He considers himself a mysterious thief and is [[Hiori|Pokémon 7's]] self-proclaimed [[rival]]. He likes to call himself "Rock-sama" in the original version, which can be seen as reflecting his proud and stuck-up nature, opting in the official translation for Grand Master Rocco. Though he proclaims to be powerful, he is truly a coward, fleeing rather than battling or allowing his Magmortar to battle without him.


Rocco first arrived in town attempting to rid the town of a such a hypocritical mysterious thief as that of Pokémon 7; however, despite their earlier conflict, he grudgingly teams up with his rival to save a Pokémon Thief from [[Team Galactic]]. Later he is shown to have a crush on [[Hiori]]'s sister, Lily. This spurns him into assisting Hiori in her rescue. He refers to her as "Lily-chan", to which [[Hiori]] questions.
He is seen as being a womanizer, as he tries to dissuade women from battling him by flirting with them, to no avail. He also seems to have a crush on [[Lily (Pokémon 7)|Lily]], calling her ''Lily-Chan'', which annoys Hiori.
 
==History==
Rocco sends a letter of challenge to Hiori, to which Hiori happily accepts. Hiori and team enter Rocco's lair and, using his Pokémon's moves, solves various puzzles to open doors. One set of doors is guarded by his {{p|Magmortar}}, whos strength and [[ability]], {{a|Flame Body}}, prove it to be a formidable foe. It uses its powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to gain ground and [[Hiori's Lucario]] narrowly dodges its {{m|Fire Punch}} with {{m|Detect}}. It releases a {{m|SmokeScreen}} to blind Lucario and Hiori. However, Lucario sees right through it and finds Magmortar because of his aura sensing ability. Using his burn as an advantage, Lucario hits it with a powerful {{m|Facade}} and [[fainting|knocks it out]]. The duo find and enter Rocco's room, where they introduce themselves. After showing his true colors to Hiori, he escapes with his {{p|Gardevoir|Gardevoir's}} {{m|Teleport}}, leaving the annoyed duo.
 
Rocco joins up with Hiori after hearing about the Pokémon thefts, believing ''he'' is the only one allowed to steal Pokémon. Later, after Hiori's confrontation with his twin, Lily, Hiori tells the story of how he was seperated from his sister and why he must help her. Rocco doesn't seem to care untill he imagines what Lily currently looks like, to which he then happily obliges to help Hiori as long as he gets the chance to meet her.
 
He tries to woo the female [[Galactic Grunt]], and fails.
 
Rocco later helps when Hiori is battling Lily. He comes to the two's aid, trying to dissuade Lily from fighting with a rose and his charm, but fails miserably. He runs away while Lily and {{p|Mismagius}} chase them. Rocco does not fight back, trying to not hit Lily, and instead uses his Gardevoir's {{m|Secret Power}} to put Mismagius to sleep, breaking Lily's {{m|Hypnosis}}, to Hiori and Lucario's surprise. This was only temporary, as Mismagius woke up and hypnotized her yet again.
 
Rocco later helped in the final battle where, with his power, along with Lily's, Hiori's, Lucario's, and the rest of Hiori's team, was merged into one, powerful {{p|Aura Sphere}}, used by Lucario, to calm a rampaging Darkrai awakend by the Galactic Leader.
 
He is shown to be traveling the world with Lily and Hiori, completing missions.

|desc= Magmortar is Rocco's main battling Pokémon and it is very strong. It tried to defeat Hiori's Lucario and successfully [[burn]]ed it and damaged it to some degree. However, Magmortar was still defeated. Magmortar's body heat was also the answer to one of the puzzle doors.
 
Its ability is {{a|Flame Body}} and its known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|SmokeScreen}}, and {{m|Smog}}}}

|desc= Gardevoir is Rocco's main method of escape, as he uses its teleport to flee. It has also proven itself useful and has saved Hiori and friends with the move. It was only seen battling with Lily's {{p|Mismagius}}, using secret power to put it to sleep. Even then it was a status move (technically), and it has not been seen using any damaging attacks. It may have been meant to serve as a counterpart to Hiori's {{p|Gallade}}.
Its known moves are {{m|Teleport}} and {{m|Secret Power}}}}
