Latoya Parker
Latoya Parker (Japanese: ユウカ Yūka) is one of the characters of the day for The Superhero Secret.
Latoya's father, Mr. Parker, is the owner of a toy store which sells figurines of the town's favorite superhero, Gligarman. It was later revealed to Ash and his friends that Mr. Parker himself was Gligarman, who donned a purple costume to fight crime and—perhaps more importantly—to boost sales in his shop. After he grew too old to effectively carry out his duties, Latoya took over the role, under the moniker of Gligirl.

| Latoya used her father's Gligar when Mr. Parker, Ash, and Pikachu were captured by Spinarak mecha. She ordered Gligar to free them, which it successfully did, and, with the help of Pikachu, were able to send Team Rocket blasting off. In the end, Latoya and Mr. Parker had a small argument over who would be the owner of Gligar, prior to saying "goodbye" to Ash and his friends.
Gligar's known moves are Poison Sting and Swift. | ||
