'''Duking''' (Japanese: '''ギンザル''' ''Ginzaru'') is a very large bodybuilder who lives in [[Pyrite Town]]. He isn't quite the mayor of Pyrite Town because he wasn't elected. He's just a very strong man who enforces the law. Luckily for the citizens of the desert town, Duking is actually a kind and fair man who is interested in keeping some semblance of order. He also runs the local Colosseum.

'''Duking''' (Japanese: '''ギンザル''' ''Ginzaru'') is a notable character who appears in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. He is a very large bodybuilder who lives in [[Pyrite Town]]. While he was not elected mayor of Pyrite Town, he uses his strength to enforce the law. Luckily for the citizens of the desert town, Duking is actually a kind and fair man who is interested in keeping some semblance of order. He also runs the local Colosseum. He is [[Marcia]]'s father.

Duking does have a soft side. He befriended most of the children of Pyrite Town, letting them work and play in the room hidden behind his bookshelf in his house. He also has a Pokémon that he loves a lot, a pet {{p|Plusle}}.

[[Miror B.]] and his [[Cipher]] goons had kidnapped Plusle, and held it hostage in [[Miror B.'s Hideout]]. Without Duking to stop them, the Cipher grunts went on a crime spree of thievery and extortion in Pyrite Town. Meanwhile, Miror B. began to distribute [[Shadow Pokémon]] in [[Pyrite Colosseum]]. Only [[Silva]] and the kids of Pyrite Town knew the truth about what happened. The other people of Pyrite Town were confused as to why Duking didn't fight against Miror B.'s thugs.

[[Silva]], Duking's best friend, tried to do what he could to stop the spread of Shadow Pokémon and rescue Plusle, but he was unable to accomplish his goals, and was physically hurt in the process. [[Wes]] and [[Rui]] arrived in the town one day and managed to rescue Plusle and chase away Miror B.

Plusle was inspired by Wes and Rui's actions, and in gratitude, as well as a desire to help the other Pokémon Cipher kidnapped, Plusle and Duking decided that the little Pokémon should go with Wes and Rui.

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
Duking also makes an appearance in Pokémon XD. He has become an avid [[wild Pokémon]] fanatic after discovering [[Poké Spot]]s, where wild Pokémon can appear. After explaining to [[Michael]] how catching wild Pokémon works in a news report at the Rock Poké Spot, he helps Michael find the other two Poké Spots. He also provides Michael with the Spot Monitor application for his [[P★DA]].
Afterwards, he returns to his home in Pyrite Town, and keeps to his back room, making [[Poké Snack]]s. He also asks Michael to catch a {{p|Trapinch}}, a {{p|Surskit}}, and a {{p|Wooper}} for him (the three of which are the rarest Pokémon available at each Poké Spot) as well. If the player has them (from catching them at Poké Spots or trading with GBA titles), they can be traded to him for a {{p|Meditite}}, a {{p|Shuckle}}, and a {{p|Larvitar}}, respectively.

:''"For fifteen long and torturous years I toiled, snatching sleep only grudgingly, to find this <sc>Poké Spot</sc>!"''
:''"Yeah, uh... one shouldn't let details get in the way of the story, isn't that right, <sc>Betty?</sc>"''
:''"All right! Let me explain how one goes about attracting wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> to a <sc>Poké Spot</sc>. Well... seeing as you're here, wouldn't it be better if I got someone to demonstrate?"''
:''"Oh! You there! Yes, you, kid! You'll be perfect. Come over here, mate!"''
::'''If spoken to before approaching the plate:''' ''"Oh, wait, mate. Not over there. I need you over this way, between me and <sc>Betty</sc>, right?"''
:''"All right, my friend. Let me show how you attract wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> to a <sc>Poké Spot</sc>. First, and above all else, you need these: <sc>Duking</sc> brand <sc>Poké Snacks</sc>. Here, I'll give you some."''
:''"All right, my friend. Lay those <sc>Poké Snacks</sc> out on that plate there. Go on now."''
:''"Very good, mate. That's how you do it!"''
:''"When you've laid out the <sc>Poké Snacks</sc>, leave the area. Eventually, a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> will come along, just you wait."''
:''"The more <sc>Poké Snacks</sc> you lay out, the longer a <sc>Pokémon</sc> will stay to eat, making it that much easier to catch. This is also important. My specially made <sc>Spot Monitor</sc>. This, I'm sure you'll agree, is truly something awesome!"''
:''"Yeah, uh... one shouldn't let details get in the way of the story, isn't that right, <sc>Betty</sc>?"''
:''"I'm glad you asked me that. My <sc>Spot Monitor</sc> is a dandy! It lets you know what's happening at any <sc>Poké Spot</sc> wherever you are. Here, my friend! As my thanks for you hearing me out patiently, I'll make a gift of this, too! Slot it into your [[P★DA]]. That's all you need to do to make it work. Simple!"''
:''"All right, now you're set! Now, when a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears at any <sc>Poké Spot</sc>, your <sc>Spot Monitor</sc> will respond and alert you. I've found three <sc>Poké Spot</sc> in all. There's one to the west of this one here."''
:''"That's right. Around there."''
:''"Use these <sc>Poké Spots</sc> and catch yourself some wild <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Give it a try, mate!"''
