'''Professor Krane''' is the resident [[Pokémon professor|professor]] of [[Orre]] in [[Pokémon XD]]. He lives at the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] in the northwestern portion of the region.
'''Professor Krane''' (Japanese: '''クレイン博士''' ''Dr. Krane'') is the resident {{pkmn|Professor}} of [[Orre]] in {{Pokémon XD}}. He lives at the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] in the northwestern portion of the region.


After the Shadow Pokémon incident in [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Krane and [[Michael]]'s father began developing a way to purify [[Shadow Pokémon]] at a much quicker pace than [[Wes]] had to use. The fruit of this research was the [[Purify Chamber]].
After the [[Shadow Pokémon]] incident in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] five years earlier, Krane and [[Michael]]'s father began developing a way to purify [[Shadow Pokémon]] at a much quicker pace than [[Wes]] had to use, which was done by using the Relic Stone in Agate Village. The fruit of this research was the [[Purify Chamber]], which has nine sets and is the only way to purify [[Shadow Lugia]].


[[Cipher]] kidnapped him due to his research on purification. [[Cipher Admin]] [[Lovrina]] unsuccessfully attempted to persuade him to assist them in fine-tuning [[XD001]]. Michael eventually arrived on the scene to save him.

Later in the game, Krane gives Michael a [[Master Ball]].
Later in the game, Krane gives Michael a [[Master Ball]]. He claims to have been given it because of his research, but that Michael can make better use of it, mirroring [[Professor Elm]]'s statements when giving the player a Master Ball.
==Quotes==


It is unknown if Professor Krane gives out [[starter Pokémon]] like the other Pokémon professors who appear in the games. What is certain however, is that Michael did not receive his {{p|Eevee}} from Krane; instead he got it from his father before he died shortly afterwards.

:''"Hold up, MICHAEL! Where are you wandering off to?"''

{{Orre NPCs}}
:''Hi MICHAEL. I'm glad you came. This is the enemy's facility I mentioned. Apparently, there are SHADOW POKéMON inside."''

:''"SHADOW POKéMON are POKéMON that have been turned into fighting machines after having their hearts locked shy by artificial means."''
 
:''"We developed the SNAG MACHINE to rescue such SHADOW POKéMON from the clutches of wrongdoers."''
 
:''"No problem! MICHAEL will catch on soon enough. Just give it a try, and you'll see."''
 
* After [[Zook]] comes down the walkway:
:''"MICHAEL, it's your time to shine! If a SHADOW POKéMON appears, we need you to snag it. We're depending on you!"''
 
* After defeating Zook:
:''"Oh my gosh, AIDAN! So, they did have SHADOW POKéMON with them!"
:''"This is becoming serious. There may be more inside. We'd better check things."''
:''"MICHAEL, if a SHADOW POKéMON appears, please try to snag it."''
 
* After defeating [[Cipher Peon|Spy]] Targ:
:''"MICHAEL! Are you alright?"''
:''"So, how did it go? Did you manage to snag any SHADOW POKéMON?"''
:''"It worries me, though... This place appears to be far more dangerous than I'd imagined."''
:''"We should return to the LAB right away. We need to come up with a plan of action, and fast."''
:''"MICHAEL, it looks like we'll be relying on your help even more. We're counting on you!"''

;Pokémon HQ Lab
*Director's Office
:''"Hahaha. You don't need to be that stiffly official, <sc>Lily</sc>."''
:''"Oh, yes. I've heard the <sc>Battle Coach</sc> singing high praise about you, <player>. I've heard that your battling skills have improved dramatically recently. That's outstanding, <player>. I sure don't think I'd stand much of a chance against you. Ahahaha."''
:''"There's nothing to worry about. Both <player> and <sc>[[Jovi]]</sc> are wonderful kids."''
:''"I'm sorry, <player>. After five long years, this project is finally on the verge of coming together."''
:''"But for that to happen, we can't do without your mother's expertise. Oh yes. I left a [[P★DA]] in your room, <player>. Go check it out. "P★DA" stands for <sc>Pokémon Digital Assistant</sc>. It's a very useful electronic tool. A P★DA can be used for <sc>e-mail</sc>, among other things. I'm sure that you'll find its many features useful. It's quite easy to use. <player>, I'm sure you'll have no trouble figuring it out."''
 
*E-mail
:''"To: <player>
:<sc>Krane</sc>
:If you're reading this <sc>e-mail</sc>, then you must have obtained the P★DA. Try out its many features. By the way, <sc>Adon</sc> was playing hide-and-seek with <sc>Jovi</sc>. Why not have a chat with him?"''
 
*Director's Office after the P★DA is obtained
:''"Oh, <player>. How do you like the P★DA? It has some interesting features, so be sure to check it out. By the way, after you find <sc>Jovi</sc>, can I get you to help me with something? I'd like you to test a certain machine for me. I know you're a skilled battler, <player>, so I think I can count on you."''
 
*After finding Jovi
:''"Hi there, <player>! I've been waiting for you! I wanted to show you the <sc>Snag Machine</sc>. Has <sc>Aidan</sc> to you about the <sc>Snag Machine</sc>?"''
:''"The two of us, <sc>Aidan</sc> and I, were developing it. And now it's finally finished. I'd like to begin testing it immediately. <player>, will you help us?"''
:''"Okay. Step inside, please."''
:''"I should tell you, the <sc>Snag Machine</sc> is an outrageous piece of work. After all, it's used for stealing <sc>Pokémon</sc> from another <sc>Trainer</sc> in battle. But we didn't make this to steal <sc>Pokémon</sc> indiscriminately from <sc>Trainers</sc>."''
:''"<player>, you've heard of <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>, haven't you? They're <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been turned into fighting machines after having their hearts closed by artificial means. They're to be pitied. We developed the <sc>Snag Machine</sc> to take back such modified <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>. Why this machine is needed now I can explain later... but for now, I'd like you to test our <sc>Snag Machine</sc>  After all, you're the best <sc>Trainer</sc> at this <sc>Lab</sc>. The <sc>Snag Machine</sc> is inside this case. Try equipping it right away, please."''
:''"Thank you, <sc>Aidan</sc>. That's it, <player>! That's spot-on! From here on, it will be a lot easier to just show you how it works in practise rather than trying to describe it. Let's go upstairs to the <sc>Battle SIM System</sc> room."''
 
*Being kidnapped by Cipher
:''"W-what's going on?! Who are you people?!"''
:''"Will you let go of me! Where do you think you're taking me?!"''
:''"What... my new lab?"''
:''"You people... what are you?"''
:''"<player!> The <sc>Aura Reader</sc> is responding! That's a <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>!"''
:''"Hurry, <player>, hurry! Throw a <sc>[[Poké Ball]]</sc> at it!"''
 
;Cipher Lab
*Lovrina's office
:''"You've got to be joking! I would never cooperate with people like you!"''
:''"I don't care how often you repeat yourself. I have no intention of helping your <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> plan. Artificially slamming shut the hearts of <sc>Pokémon</sc>... it's inexcusable. Put a stop to it immediately."''
:''"...[[Naps]], was it? You have my sympathy. What a nightmare it must be to have someone like her as your boss."''
:''"First, we need to talk. I'll teach you why it's such a bad mistake to create <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>. Please, won't you help us stop this <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> plan? Join us, and help us save <sc>Pokémon</sc>!"''
:''"<player>? Is it really you, <player>?! But it's dangerous here. We'd better get out right away. My worst fears turned out to be true of <sc>Cipher</sc>. They weren't wiped out. This is just one of their bases. But the details can wait. Things could get complicated if they return. Let's get out of here quick!"''
 
*Leaving the lab
:''"We're going back to the <sc>HQ Lab</sc>. Stand aside, please."''
:''"Stop that nonsense! Do you seriously think I would help you do something that horrible?"''
::'''If player accepts Lovrina's request''': ''"Whoa, <player>! Don't joke around now!"''
:''"<player>, you have grown tough, haven't you?"''
:''"<player>, you have grown tough, haven't you? In fact, I'm amazed at how much stronger you've grown in this short a time. I guess we'll be relying on you even more from now on, <player>. Now that we know <sc>Cipher</sc> is back, we need to move quickly. We have to come up with ways of stopping them. This time, let's really head back to the <sc>HQ Lab</sc>!"''
:''"Here, may I see that? Hmm... this may be something important. We'll take it back and analyze it."''
 
;Pokémon HQ Lab
:''"Thanks to you, <player>, I was able to return safe and sound. Sincerely, thank you. Though it was a horrible ordeal, I learned a few things when I was in that desert lab."''
:''"First and foremost, <sc>Cipher</sc> hasn't disappeared! The fact that they're still around is alarming. Worse, they are making more <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> again. And worst of all, they are trying to create the ultimate <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>--one that is impossible to purify. <sc>Cipher</sc> must be plotting world domination using <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> as their weapons again. To counter <sc>Cipher</sc>'s new <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> conspiracy..."''
:''"Oh! What fantastic timing! It's finally finished! <sc>Lily</sc>, thank you! Thank you for pulling everyone together so capably in my absence! Okay! Let's not waste any time! Let's all go have a look at the <sc>Purify Chamber</sc>."''
 
*Purify Chamber
:''"Take a good look, <player>! This is the <sc>Purify Chamber</sc>! <player>, your father and I designed it five years ago when we were motivated by the "<sc>Shadow</sc> incident.""''
:''"If evildoers were to create <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> again, we wanted to be able to save them ourselves. <player>, your father believed that passionately. To honor your father's wish, I put together our <sc>Pokémon HQ Lab</sc>. <player>, if your father were here, I'm sure that he would be delighted. While I was gone, everyone seems to have rallied around <sc>Lily</sc> and made things happen. Okay, <player>, we'll have you lead the way. The glorious history of the <sc>Purify Chamber</sc> will begin with you! But first, if you would be so kind as to briefly explain how the <sc>Purify Chamber</sc> works."''
:''"How did you find the <sc>Purify Chamber</sc>? Using this system, it's possible to purify many <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> at the same time. Now, the issue is how <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> should be recovered from <sc>Cipher</sc>. It looks as if you'll have to get busy some more with the <sc>Snag Machine</sc>, <player>."''
:''"Oh, speaking of <sc>Cipher</sc>... <sc>Lily</sc>, have you made any progress with that <sc>Data ROM</sc> we brought back from <sc>Cipher</sc>'s lab?"''
:''"Ahaha! Seeing <sc>Jovi</sc> and her boundless energy makes me realize I'm back home. Anyway, I wonder what's on that <sc>Data ROM</sc>."''
 
*Outside the Lab
:''"A seriously talented guy, you say."''
:''"Ahaha, it can't be helped. And if it's a seriously talented guy we need, well, I think I may have a solution. <player>, I'm sorry to spring this on you, but can you deliver the <sc>Data ROM</sc> to [[ONBS]] in [[Pyrite Town]]? <sc>Datan</sc>, hand the <sc>Data ROM</sc> to <player>, please."''
:''"<sc>ONBS</sc> is known as a TV network, but they're much more than that. The people that later founded <sc>ONBS</sc> were actually instrumental in breaking <sc>Cipher</sc>'s conspiracy five years ago. Please deliver that <sc>Data ROM</sc> to [[Nett]] at <sc>ONBS</sc>. He's the right-hand man to [[Secc]], <sc>ONBS</sc>'s leader. I'm confident that he will be able to get at the contents of that <sc>Data ROM</sc>."''
:''"<sc>Pyrite</sc> is past <sc>Agate</sc>. It's quite far, so be careful when you're traveling out that way."''
:''"It's quite possible that the <sc>Data ROM</sc> contains critical information that <sc>Cipher</sc> wants to keep secret. I'm sure that <sc>Cipher</sc> at <sc>ONBS</sc> can check the contents of that <sc>Data ROM</sc>. <sc>Pyrite Town</sc> is past <sc>Agate Village</sc>. It's a little far, but I need you to do this. Take care, though!"''
