===In X and Y===
Looker has traveled to the [[Kalos]] region on an assignment to find and arrest [[Xerosic]] but keeps his affiliation with the International Police a secret from the player, introducing himself as a detective recently located to [[Lumiose City]]. The player first meets him after receiving an invitation to come to Looker Bureau over the [[Holo Caster]], the first time they enter Lumiose City after upgrading the [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]]. Looker signs the player on as his assistant in his fight for justice, and the two begin taking on cases together. During their first case, he meets a homeless young girl named [[Emma]] and her {{p|Espurr}} named Mimi, whom he decides to take under his wing. He becomes a father-figure to the girl, but because of their poor living conditions, Emma feels she is a burden to Looker and decides to look for a job to help support him. She finds a job at [[Lysandre Café]] and her employer turns out to be none other than Xerosic, who uses [[Emma]] as a test subject for a special suit that has a cloaking device and can power up any Pokémon the user has. Xerosic remotely controls the suit and makes Emma commit various crimes (although she is completely unaware of what she is doing). Looker and the player manage to rescue her, and Looker arrests Xerosic and leaves Kalos. He leaves a letter with Mimi that reveals his real position as a member of the International Police, and that he has paid for the property in full so that Emma may continue to call the bureau home, and use it however she pleases. He also transfers his codename 'Looker' to the player character (this is merely a story point and has no impact on the gameplay).

In these games, his strange style of speech is significantly scaled back. It is also strongly suggested that his Croagunk was killed during a case sometime in the past.

After a long absence, Looker finally appeared again in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. He had originally disguised himself as a {{tc|Hiker}}, but revealed his true identity after saving Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} from a group of attacking Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. He explained that he had come to [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]], who were planning to take over the region. After an encounter with several Team Plasma members, including the Plasma Scientist [[Colress]], he left the group to continue his investigation.

Looker appeared again in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', again investigating actions caused by Team Plasma. Ash and friends encountered him at a city, where a {{p|Haxorus}} was going on a rampage. Looker realized that it must be under the same kind of control as the Pokémon from before, and attempted to use his barrier-creating device to stop Haxorus from being controlled, without any result. He then used an energy indicator to find the source of the energy that controlled Haxorus, eventually pinpointing it into Team Plasma's helicopter. When a missed {{m|Shadow Ball}} from [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} hit the machine, it was broken, freeing the controlled Pokémon.

Looker first appears in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} where he interrogates the two scientists hired by [[Team Galactic]] to guard [[Lake Valor]]. Due to them not knowing anything about Team Galactic, the interrogation went nowhere. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Looker makes his appearance looking for his client. He eventually meets up with his client, {{adv|Platinum|Platinum Berlitz}}, and joins her in her quest to research information on the [[Distortion World]] so that she can rescue her bodyguards, [[Paka and Uji]].

Looker joins Platinum as she goes through the various Battle Facilities and usually helps her when she is having trouble in them. In the Battle Castle, he helps Platinum with her money-managing troubles, which helps her defeat {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}. While Platinum goes through the Battle Arcade, Looker goes to help their ally [[Buck]] fight [[Team Galactic]] on [[Stark Mountain]]. When he arrives, he finds out that [[Charon]] had obtained the Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Heatran}}, and has been using it to attack Buck. Worried about Looker's safety, Platinum sends her Pokémon to go and help them while she goes through the Battle Factory. They eventually return with Looker and Buck, who were seriously injured and later hospitalized.

After {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum defeat Charon, a fully recovered Looker appears and arrests Charon. He goes to chase after the other Team Galactic commanders until his superior contacts him and tells him to call the mission off. He is ordered to head to [[Unova]] and investigate the activities of the [[Seven Sages]]. Looker leaves immediately but quickly comes back to give Diamond a {{p|Manaphy|Pokémon Egg}} he received from some {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s in [[Fiore]].

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.

Looker continues to assist Blake in the shadows in their efforts to stop Team Plasma. Eventually, they managed to successfully arrest [[Giallo]], one of the Seven Sages. Later, Looker is order to investigate the [[Castelia Sewers]] due to reports that [[Bronius]] and [[Ryoku]] were seen in the area. Meanwhile, Blake, {{adv|Whitley}}, [[Hugh]], and [[Roxie]] also head to the sewers after discovering a man that had his Pokémon stolen by Team Plasma. Shortly after arrival, the group discovers Bronius and Ryoku with a group of Team Plasma Grunts. Hugh attempts to attack the Grunts, but is easily defeated when the Grunts' Pokémon swarm after everyone, forcing the group to scatter. After Hugh escapes the Grunts, he is approached by Looker's Croagunk, who Looker speaks through with the [[Xtransceiver]] on Croagunk's hat. Looker attempts to ask Hugh what his connection to Team Plasma is, but Hugh mistakenly believes that Croagunk is capable of speech due to Looker's Xtransceiver being hidden by Croagunk's hat. Hugh refuses to reveal anything and proceeds to run off to confront Team Plasma again. Afterward, Blake heads off to investigate a mysterious cold emanating from the [[Relic Passage]] and leaves Looker to arrest Bronius and Ryoku.

The next day, Looker searches for Blake, who had gone missing after a battle on the [[Plasma Frigate]]. At the Aspertia City alleyways, he bumps into the Magician, who is in the middle of escaping. The Magician reveals that Blake has been discharged from the International Police after they discovered that Blake had been illegally giving the Magician access to the International Police database. As he leaves, the Magician tells Looker that he was last in contact with Blake at Castelia City.

In the chapter Looker debuted in, he is able to identify Galactic grunts in the crowd before they launched a terrorist attack on the stadium; once the Galactic incident is taken care of, he tries to take Kaisei into custody. Later, he along with several other agents of the International Police have arrived in [[Stark Mountain]] and disguise themselves as rocks in order to capture [[Team Galactic]]. However, the villainous team escapes when an earthquake in Stark Mountain distracted Looker and the others. He stays behind to save Koya. After calming {{p|Heatran}} down by placing the [[Magma Stone]] back to where it belongs, Looker wonders if any members remained during the cave-in, in which Koya responds with no.

Looker then arrives in [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic's headquarters]] in order to continue his search for Team Galactic and has Koya block the entrance in order to prevent anyone from going inside. However, he informs Koya that Charon was too powerful and his whole squad was defeated. Looker defends Koya when he was about to get hit by {{p|Onix}}. After witnessing Charon's strength, Looker tells Koya to retreat the area. Despite that, Koya decides to stop Charon for good in which Looker accepts. Much later, Looker arrived on Stark Mountain after the battle with the [[Creation trio]], awaiting for Charon's arrival in order to arrest him. Following Charon's arrest, Looker notifies him that Team Galactic was disbanded on behalf of Cyrus's orders.
