Eldritch
Eldritch (Japanese: ナミキ Namiki) is a non-player character in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl as well as Pokémon Platinum. He works at the docks of Canalave City and operates the boat that can take the player to a variety of destinations, among them Iron Island and Fullmoon Island.
He lives in a small house near the pier with his wife and young son. After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player finds that Eldritch's son has been stricken by nightmares and cannot awaken, thrashing in his sleep and trying to say the name of a Pokémon that is watching him. To cure the boy, the player must go to Fullmoon Island with Eldritch's help and retrieve a Lunar Wing.
His name is based on the obscure, archaic word eldritch, which means "of a strange country, pertaining to the otherworld."
