The '''Pokémon Mystery Club''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議クラブ''' ''Pokémon Mystery Club''), or '''PMC''', | The '''Pokémon Mystery Club''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議クラブ''' ''Pokémon Mystery Club''), or '''PMC''', are a duo of two overzealous investigators: Ken ('''ケン''' ''Ken'') and Mary ('''メリー''' ''Mary''). They are recurring characters in the [[Pokémon anime]]. | ||
==History== | |||
===[[Original series]]=== | |||
The duo first appeared in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]''. A spacecraft carrying a group of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Clefairy}} had crashed, and a lone {{p|Cleffa}} had fallen out. Ken and Mary wanted to capture the Cleffa so they could study where it came from. Concerned about what Ken and Mary would do to Cleffa, {{Ash}} had his {{AP|Phanpy}} take care of Cleffa and make sure it got to its spacecraft safely. | |||
The PMC duo were determined, though they were competing against the equally stubborn [[Team Rocket trio]] for Cleffa. Ken and Mary eventually clashed with [[Jessie]] and her teammates in a robot mecha battle. The Clefairy saw an opportunity and promptly recycled the two machines, using the spare parts to repair their damaged spacecraft. {{AP|Pikachu}} sent the PMC and Rocket trio blasting off with a mighty {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Phanpy did its job perfectly, and the Cleffa later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Clefairy so it could get on board the spacecraft as it flew away. | |||
During another mystery, Ken and Mary were investigating the source of {{wp|crop circle}}s in some fields. They discovered the source was actually a {{p|Snorlax}} who went on to squash them as it rolled over in its sleep. | |||
==={{series|Advanced Generation}}=== | |||
In ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]'', the PMC traveled to the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] following a meteor strike near [[Volley Town]], in search of another [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. Ken and Mary's suspicions were correct, as a {{p|Lunatone}} emerged from the crater site. However Lunatone escaped them the first time by wiping their memories. | |||
They confronted Ash and {{ashfr}} as they were were enjoying a meal. Ken and Mary prepared to take [[Brock's Lombre]] away for further study, thinking it was an extraterrestrial Pokémon. However, [[Max]] was quick to point out that Lombre was actually the evolved form of {{p|Lotad}}, and Mary confirmed this with her [[Pokédex]]. The PMC duo were somewhat disappointed, but quickly rushed off in search of Lunatone. | |||
The group and [[Nurse Joy]] did their level best to transport the Lunatone to [[Camerupt Point]] so it can return to space, but the PMC arrived on the scene. Ken and Mary's latest machine sent the Rocket trio blasting off, and Lunatone used {{m|Hidden Power}} to send them off as well. | |||
==Character== | |||
The goal of the PMC is to do whatever it takes to conclusively prove that Pokémon are extraterrestrial lifeforms, which causes them to be motivated into capturing [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|Pokémon species which have relations to outer space]], such as {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Lunatone}} for further study. | |||
Like {{TRT}}, they have a motto but consider themselves to be heroes despite their dubious methods. Although they don't have Pokémon of their own, they have a variety of scientifically-advanced equipment and gadgets, including bulldozers, jetpacks, robots, rocket launchers, and a [[Pokédex]] that only tells the basic info which they build themselves using tools from the suitcase that Mary carries. | |||
