Tory Lund
Tory Lund (Japanese: トオイ Tōi) is a fictional character in the seventh Pokémon film, Destiny Deoxys. His Japanese voice actress is 日高のり子 Noriko Hidaka and his English voice actress is Tara Jayne.
Character
Tory is a young boy who lives in LaRousse City, a futuristic city in Hoenn that relies completely on technology. He is also the son of the head scientist in LaRousse, Professor Lund.
History
Four years prior to the main events of the film, Professor Lund took Tory with him on an investigative trip to the Arctic. When a meteorite carrying Deoxys crashed, the impact disrupted a pack of nesting Walrein and caused a stampede. Tory was surrounded by the Walrein and, as a result, became deeply traumatized and found himself terrified of Pokémon. Four years on, Tory's fear of Pokémon still lingered, despite the fact he loved them. However, he had befriended an odd cosmic entity that hid in his father's large laboratory. This would later be revealed to be a spiritual form of a second Deoxys, and the first's mate.
While in the city's Battle Tower, Tory runs into Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu. Frightened by the presence of Pikachu, Tory races into an elevator, but Ash dives through the doors at the last moment and tries to ask the stunned boy where the battle floor is, all the while Tory is backed in a corner. He escapes Ash but ends up in a two-on-two battle alongside him. Ash lends him is Torkoal, but the battle doesn't run incredibly smoothly - Pikachu and Torkoal are defeated easily and Tory becomes traumatized by a spinning Blastoise, which reminds him of his encounter with the Walrein.
Tory wanders off and encounters a Plusle and a Minun, the Minun of which has its head stuck in a bin. Tory helps free it but when the two Pokémon attempt to show their gratitude by hugging him, he freaks out and runs to his father's lab. Ash and Pikachu follow and question him about who he talks too (the Deoxys). Tory walks off but is frightened by a flock of Wingull and Pikachu. Ash is hurt in the process and is prevented from hurting Tory by the timely arrival of May, Max and Brock.
That night, Tory meets his friends again with a box of Pokémon cookies, and a fun night involving all the Pokémon follows. The next day, Deoxys begins searching for its companion, and with Tory and the others trapped in the city. Several of the group are captured, including the Minun. Tory tries to comfort the Plusle, but his fear gets the better of him. Tory helps to restore order and revives the second Deoxys. Teaming up with Ash, Pikachu, and the reunited Plusle and Minun, Tory gives Ash his pass card in order to stop malfunctioning info cubes. Ash succeeds. Tory, Plusle and Minun are suspended high on top the battle tower, but Plusle and Minun lose their balance and fall. Using common sense, Tory dives after them and grabs them as they fall. The trio are saved by the second Deoxys. Reunited with his father and friends, Tory has become unafraid of Pokémon, Plusle and Minun becoming his new friends. He then says farewell to the two Deoxys who return to their homeworld. It is presumed Tory eventually becomes a Pokémon Trainer with Plusle and Minun as his starters.
