'''Garu''' (Japanese: '''ガル''' ''Garu'') and '''Kogaru''' (Japanese: '''コガル''' ''Kogaru'') are a pair of mother and child {{p|Kangaskhan}} that {{adv|X}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]].  

Garu and Kogaru are {{adv|X}}'s first known Pokémon that he has ever since he was a small child. Years ago, they were used to win a Junior Tournament, which caused X to get the attention of the press. The constant attention eventually led to X shutting himself from society by refusing to leave his house and avoiding human contact. X's shut-in behavior had a negative effect on Kogaru, who also refuses to leave her mother's pouch and never grew up into an adult Kangaskhan as a result.

In the present, Garu is first seen watching X's friends futilely try and get X to come from out of his house. Since X refuses to come outside, [[Tierno]] feeds Garu in his stead. Later, X is attacked by [[Team Flare]] scientists [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]], who demand that he give up his [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]]. Garu attempts to protect X, but is injured in the process. The commotion causes Kogaru to pop up from her mother's pouch and see her mother and Trainer being attacked. This angers Kogaru, who reacts to X's Mega Ring and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Kangaskhan. The transformation allows Kogaru to easily defeat Aliana and Mable's Pokémon, forcing them to retreat. Due to [[Vaniville Town]] being damaged in a battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, X and his friends are forced to travel while hiding from Team Flare.

When the group arrives in [[Aquacorde Town]], X decides to camp out in a tent while {{adv|Y}} and the others stay at an inn for the night. The inn turns out to be a trap set up by Team Flare, who attempt to keep Y and the others trapped inside the building while Aliana and Mable kidnap Kogaru while X isn't looking. Y manages to escape and inform X of what is going on. X attempts to Mega Evolve Kogaru to stop Aliana and Mable, but it doesn't work, so he instead teams up with {{p|Chespin}} to rescue Kogaru and defeat the Team Flare scientists.

Sometime after arriving in [[Santalune City]], X and [[Trevor]] attempt to try and learn more about Mega Evolution by practicing against wild Pokémon, but their attempts to have Kogaru transform end in failure. The group is approached by [[Viola]], who offers them sanctuary against Team Flare and assistance in finding out more about Mega Evolution. The group decides to accept and spends the night in Viola's Gym. There, X is challenged to a battle by Viola, which he accepts and wins with Garu.  

Later that night, [[Celosia]] uses a mind-controlled [[Shauna]] to steal Garu's {{DL|Mega Stone|Kangaskhanite}} while everyone else is sleeping. When everyone figures out what's happening, X immediately begins chasing after Celosia to get the Mega Stone back from her. He is assisted by [[Korrina]], who has her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} Mega Evolve and help X fight Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}. With Viola's help by holding Celosia down, X retrieves the Kangaskhanite and has Kogaru Mega Evolve to help Korrina's Lucario. The combined might of two Mega-Evolved Pokémon forces Celosia to run away since she knows she's outmatched.
