Looker: Difference between revisions

It is revealed that Looker once worked in a team with [[Nanu]], [[Island Kahuna|Kahuna]] of [[Ula'ula Island]], while the latter was a member of the International Police, under the code name '''100kr''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｎｏ．|ナンバー}}８３６'''). Looker explains that Anabel was discovered in an amnesiac state after passing through an Ultra Wormhole, and volunteered to join the International Police. The real purpose of her position in the current mission is to use her as bait to draw out the Ultra Beasts, as they are drawn to the energy she picked up from the Ultra Wormhole. Looker considers the plan distasteful as it reminds him of a similar case he worked on with Nanu ten years ago; according to Nanu, they were assigned to investigate the activities of the creature that would later be classified as {{p|Guzzlord|UB-05}}, and when Looker let his pity for the creature get the better of him, it lashed out at his group and killed the Faller they were using at the time. As a result, he seeks to ensure Anabel's safety whenever he can to ensure that she does not meet the same fate.

Looker has appeared in four [[Pokémon Generations]] {{cat|Pokémon Generations episodes|episodes}}. He made his first appearance in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', where he and the [[International Police]] were on the trail of [[Giovanni]]. They soon tracked the [[Team Rocket]] boss down to the [[Viridian Gym]], only to find that he had already left his position as [[Gym Leader]] after awarding the {{Badge|Earth}} to two Trainers: {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.

Looker reappeared in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''. He met up with {{ga|Silver}} at [[Indigo Plateau]] to find out more information on the whereabouts of Giovanni, after he and the International Police had helped stop Team Rocket's takeover of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

He made another appearance in ''[[PG12|The Magma Stone]]'', in which he was shown at [[Stark Mountain]], having been trying to hunt down the remnants of [[Team Galactic]] led by [[Charon]] after Cyrus [[PG11|had disappeared]]. He used his {{p|Croagunk}} to battle the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Heatran}} along with [[Buck]] and his {{p|Claydol}}. Despite their success in placating Heatran, Looker was not able to arrest Charon, as he managed to escape with two {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s.

Looker appeared once more in ''[[PG17|The Investigation]]'', confronting the Pokémon thief Essentia. He chased her across [[Lumiose City]] after a wave of crime, before eventually uncovering her to be [[Emma]], the orphan girl he invited to be his assistant.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Looker has spent the past two years looking for the members of the now-defeated Team Plasma. Upon returning to Unova after failing to find the Seven Sages in other regions, he is tasked with meeting up with {{adv|Blake}}, another International Police member. He finds Blake at [[Aspertia City]], only to be attacked by a {{p|Scolipede}} immediately after exchanging their secret password. Blake easily defeats the Scolipede and rescues Looker. Much to Looker's shock, Blake reveals himself to be Looker's superior despite the age gap between them.

Blake and Looker head to the Aspertia alleyways where they encounter Blake's maintenance man, the Magician. After having himself checked up, Blake takes Looker to a training area and has him do some tests. Although they manage to succeed in the first one, Looker and Croagunk completely fail the second test. Blake berates the two and tells them to get better at handling harsh conditions. Before they can continue, an explosion rings outside. When they go out to investigate, they find out that the culprit is a flying saucer. Blake reveals that the saucer is actually the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Genesect}} that was created by Team Plasma. Genesect defeats Looker by slamming him into a wall, leaving Blake alone to battle it.

As Blake battles Genesect, he learns that it's actually a wild Pokémon being remotely controlled by [[Colress]], a criminal scientist that infiltrated the Unova League under the pseudonym Hood Man. Blake decides that with Genesect still technically being wild, capturing it rather than defeating it is the best option. After some struggle, Blake successfully captures Genesect. Looker attempts to arrest Colress, but Colress escapes before he can be handcuffed. Just before leaving, Colress reveals that Team Plasma is planning on making a comeback on the Unova region.

Afterward, concerned civilians begin arriving at the site of the battle. When Blake begins flirting with the girls, Looker pulls him away and angrily demands an explanation for his behavior. Blake reveals that two years ago, Team Plasma devised a machine that can counter Colress's mind controlling device and secretly entrusted the microchip to a young former Plasma Grunt. Although he does not know who the former Grunt is, Blake does know she is the same age as him, hence his flirting is nothing more than away to deduce which girl is the former Grunt. Afterward, Looker and Blake leave to file a report to headquarters of what they had learned.
