'''Emma''' (Japanese: '''マチエール''' ''Matiere'') is a character introduced in {{g|X and Y}} who plays a major role in the post-game side story with [[Looker]] in [[Lumiose City]]. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Suspicious Woman''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおとな''' ''Suspicious Adult''), '''Suspicious Child''' (Japanese: '''あやしいこども''' ''Suspicious Child''), and '''Suspicious Lady''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおねえさん''' ''Suspicious Miss'').

{{spoilers}}
In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend, Mimi (Japanese: '''もこお''' ''Mokō''). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy [[Poké Ball]]s. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the Looker Bureau and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in Japanese (English in non-English languages) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking Japanese (English in non-English languages), Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the Lumiose Station. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his {{p|Croagunk|only Pokémon}} died during a past case.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his {{p|Croagunk|only Pokémon}} died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}}, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the [[Lumiose Museum]] and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.

After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

{{main|Emma (Masters)}}
;[[Lumiose City]], South Boulevard alleyway
Emma forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Crobat}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Emma became a playable sync pair on February 17, 2023.
* First meeting, after Looker suggests that Mimi considers the alley to be its territory
:''"Yup, old man, you got that right."'' (Looker demands to know who spoke.) ''"Oh, nobody special. But this little sweetie right here is Mimi. That's what I named it, anyway."'' (Looker asks her to return Mimi to its [[Poké Ball]].) ''"Huh? What Poké Ball?"'' (Looker is confused.) ''"I'm not a {{pkmn|Trainer}}! Mimi is my friend. I have no money to buy Poké Balls, so I can't be a Trainer, you get it? Anyway, Mimi and I don't need a Poké Ball to be friends!"'' (Looker begs her pardon and asks why they're in the alley.) ''"Well, we're all playing, that's all. Everybody here is a friend of mine. What are you asking for? Do you want to join or something?"'' (One of the preschoolers protests that grown-ups aren't allowed and Mimi echoes her.) ''"Oh, put a sock in it! Play nice, both of you! How would you like to get left out just 'cause you're old and stuff?"'' (Looker asks why they picked a dark alley, saying kids need sunshine.) ''"Oh, really? Well... Mimi and I have always lived in alleys, so I don't know much about sunshine."'' (Looker inquires about her family.) ''"They're gone. I'm alone."'' (Looker responds briefly.) ''"Well, but... But Mimi is sort of my family. We stick together."'' (Looker excitedly suggests she stay at the Looker Bureau.) ''"Wha..."'' (Looker continues and approaches Mimi, who runs away.) ''"Mimi gets scared pretty easy. Afraid of humans, I guess. Especially grown-ups. Hey... Mr. Looker-guy... For a minute there, I was kinda happy that you invited me to stay with you... You're pretty cool. But I can't. Mimi likes it better here. I can't leave Mimi behind. We stick together."'' (Looker says he wants to try something else, with his dependable partner.) ''"P-partner?"'' (Looker tells his partner to befriend Mimi.)


* If talked to during the assignment
In this game, Emma also travels with {{p|Espurr|Mimi}}. Emma first appeared as an NPC during the [[Kalos]] chapter of the [[Villain Arc]]. She also made notable appearances later in the Villain Arc.
:''"Umm... <player>? If you wanna make friends with Mimi, you're gonna have to track it down first. There's, like, tons of alleys in Lumiose City. Mimi wanders all over them on its strolls. If you find it, try talking to it... Or do something to make Mimi like you."''


* After finding Mimi
{{PairDex/h|Psychic}}
:''"Awesome! <Player>, are you wicked or what? How'd you get Mimi to like you so fast?"'' (Looker asks if she's ready now to join the Looker Bureau.) ''"OK! I'm ready! As long as Mimi's with me! ♪ I'm pretty curious to find out what a detective does!"'' (They arrive at the Looker Bureau.) ''"Wow... So this is the Looker Bureau? It's sure warmer than the alley. This is gonna be great, huh, Mimi?"'' (Looker welcomes her, then asks her name.) ''"Who, me? I'm just Emma. Nice to meet you! ♪"''

:''"I'm home, Mr. Looker! Oh! <Player>! Welcome back! Is Mr. Looker out? And who's this old lady?"'' (The woman, a Japanese tourist whose Pokémon were stolen and who understands but doesn't speak English, takes offense and insults Emma and Looker.) ''{{tt|"……ちょっと　オバサン　なんて　こと　いうの……？　あたしのことは　どうでも　いい……　けど　ルッカーおじさん　のこと　わるく　いうのは　ゆるさない…… ……それにさ　あたしが　おじさんの　こどもの　わけ　ないよ　……おじさんに　しつれい　だよ"|Corresponding English text in Japanese game: &quot;...Hey, old lady! Watch your mouth! You can say all you want about me, but I won't let you insult Mr. Handsome! And I'm not his kid, I'll have you know. You're being very rude to him yourself.&quot;}}'' (The woman, surprised, asks if Emma understands her.) ''{{tt|"うん……　まあね……　だいたいで　なんとなく　だけど。　このまち　って　おそとに　いると　いろんな　くにの　ことばで　おはなし　してるのが　きこえるから　いつのまにか　おぼえちゃったの。"|Corresponding English text in Japanese game: &quot;More or less. You get to hear all kinds of languages on the streets of this city. Growing up on these streets, I naturally picked up some bits and pieces.&quot;}}'' (Turning to Mimi:) ''"Hmm... If we keep going like this, then <player> is gonna be totally lost... And I don't feel like opening up the trash talk with this old lady again... Hey, Mimi! How about it? Do you think you can help us out with your power?"'' (After Mimi uses its power, the woman apologizes and explains that she was stressed because her Pokémon were stolen.) ''{{tt|"ふーん…… で？　どこで　ぬすまれたの？"|Corresponding English text in Japanese game: &quot;Hmm... Anything else? Where was it stolen?&quot;}}'' (The woman says it was at Lumiose Station.) ''{{tt|"……えき　……ガラの　わるい　れんちゅう。　もしかして……　あのこ　たち　かな？"|&quot;Corresponding English text in Japanese game: A ruffian...at the station... That's who it must have been...&quot;}}'' (Looker returns.) ''"Um, Mr. Looker? This old lady here says her Pokémon were stolen. I'd guess the thieves are still in Lumiose Station..."'' (Looker prepares to set off after them.) ''"Just a minute, Mr. Looker."'' (Looker is anxious.) ''"I'd bet anything that the guy who stole this old lady's Pokémon was part of the Lumiose Gang. They're rough types, you know? If we stick our noses in, that means a battle for sure..."'' (Looker doesn't recognize their name.) ''"Yeah. So let's drop it, OK? You know, that old lady was talking trash about you while you were out. She ain't nice. It's not worth having a great big fight to help a person like her."'' (Looker berates her strongly and leaves for Lumiose Station.) ''"Mr. L-L-Looker... ... ... ... <Player>, help Mr. Looker! Please! He doesn't even have a Pokémon! H-he once said something... A long time ago, he had a Pokémon. A [[Croagunk (Pokémon)|partner]] that was always with him... But... They were on a case...and...and...I don't know what happened, but...his partner didn't make it... If he tries to stand up to the Lumiose Gang without a single Pokémon on his side, he doesn't have a chance! Oh, please! Oh, please. Go help him! You're his partner now, aren't you?

:''"Stop it, all of you!"'' (Looker is surprised.) ''"Stop it! I mean it! And return those stolen Pokémon!"'' (Nix complains that they were lonely after Emma, their boss, ditched them.) ''"Oh, put a sock in it! I said up front--don't count me in. You went ahead and called me boss without even asking what I wanted. I decide for myself! Now, back off before I really lose it!"'' (Nix apologizes and gives back the stolen Pokémon.) ''"Right. Well, enough said. I'll let it go this time, but... You need to say sorry to the lady you stole from. And to Mr. Looker, too!"'' (Nix apologizes to Looker who accepts the apology and says it's time to head back to the Bureau.) ''"OK!"'' (Looker pauses and offers the gang the chance to visit Emma at the Looker Bureau if they can reform.) ''"Mr. L-L-Looker..."''

:''"Mr. Looker... I'm really sorry about what happened earlier... When that woman insulted you, I just saw red and I... I..."'' (Looker acknowledges her contrition, then asks about her being the gang's boss.) ''"Oh, it's just silly. I wasn't in the gang for real! I had a big fight with them one time, and after I took them down, they figured I was their boss. It was all their idea, not mine!"'' (Nix appears and promises Looker the gang will reform.) ''"... ... ..."'' (Looker is enthused and Nix says bye to Emma.) ''"Hey, Mr. Looker?"'' (Looker turns to Emma.) ''"Mr. Looker... You said there is no substitute for honest work if you want to make a difference in this world. But I don't do any work at all... You asked me to be your assistant. But I've never done any work the whole time I've been staying here. All I've done is learn things from you... Is that really enough? Is it really OK for me to be here?"'' (Looker assures her that learning is very important, and she doesn't need to worry.) ''"But, Mr. Looker... We're always here in the Looker Bureau. And there's almost never any clients! Are Mimi and I just getting in your way? I mean, you went and turned down taking money from that tourist lady. Be straight with me, Mr. Looker. I'm asking, really, if it's really OK for Mimi and I to stay here...moneywise?"''
===Pokémon Generations===
Emma appeared in ''[[PG17|The Investigation]]''. She was first seen as Essentia, stealing three {{p|Furfrou}} from a Trainer she had beaten before being confronted by [[Looker]]. When Mimi seemed to recognize Essentia, Looker quickly came to realize the thief's true identity. Looker and Mimi pursued Essentia to {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Mimi attacked her, destroying the Expansion Suit's helmet and freeing Emma from its control.

Emma debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the [[Lumiose City]] alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.
:''"Hiya! You're a Trainer, right? How about a Pokémon battle?"''

* After her final defeat
Emma first appeared as Essentia at [[Shalour City]], where she attacked the [[Tower of Mastery]] to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her {{p|Trevenant}}'s roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]] were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.
:''"... ... ...Ngh! GAAAAAHHH!!"'' (Looker pleads with Emma to stop.) ''"GRAAAUUUGGGHHH! AUUUGGGHHH!!"'' (Looker is lost.) ''"AAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!"'' (Xerosic shuts down the remote control.)

Are we all done for today?"'' (Xerosic tells her the trials are now complete.) ''"Yawwwn! Oh, really? Then I guess I've got to start looking for a new job again."'' (She turns around.) ''"Huh? Wait? Why is everyone here? I thought it was a secret that I was working here!"'' (Looker asks her if she's alright.) ''"Hm? What do you mean? I've just been taking a nap. My job here was really easy. All I had to do was wear this suit while I snoozed away."''
:''"What are you doing here, Mr. Looker? I thought you were in the hospital!"'' (Looker says he got out and came to find her.) ''"Oh, I see. I was afraid you might be mad because I started working without telling you. I kept it a secret all this time... You really are a great detective, aren't you, Mr. Looker? You found me anyway!"'' (Looker suggets she get dinner while he talks with Dr. Xerosic.) ''"Oh, sure. No problem! We'll head out now! Let's all go together! Mimi! And you, too, <player>!"''


;Looker Bureau
Emma debuted as herself in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where she was introduced to {{adv|X}} and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around [[Kalos]] maintaining the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.
* When spoken to
:''"Um-hm... That Mr. Looker! He said his stomach is still paining him too much to check out yet! I wonder if this time he'll tell me which hospital he's at. I've never even visited him once! And it seems like Mr. Xerosic is busy, too, what with getting ready for his big arrest and all. I gotta say it's a bit, well, lonesome around here at the office, really..."''


=====Looker Chapter 6=====
In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Essentia provided support for [[Celosia]], who used mind-controlled residents of [[Vaniville Town]] to move the dormant tree form of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to the Team Flare Secret HQ. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and [[Diantha]]. With the {{p|Gengar}} he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.
*On the Holo Caster
:''"Hello, <player>. Can you hear me? It's me, Emma. I have incredible news for you, so please come to the Looker Bureau!"''


;Looker Bureau
In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Emma followed X to [[Geosenge Town]] after finding out her {{p|Espurr|Mimi}} crawled into X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. They went inside the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], but were separated when X stepped on a [[warp tile]] and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named [[AZ]] locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where they found that X failed to defeat [[Lysandre]], but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.
*Upon arrival
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
:''"Finally, <player>! What took you so long? Guess what! Mr. Looker is getting out of the hospital! Finally! I wanted us all to be here to welcome him home!"''
In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined {{adv|Y}}'s team and was [[nickname]]d Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.
:''"Oh! Mimi, you're back! Come on, Mimi! You're part of the welcome party, too!"''
:''"Huh? What's wrong with Mimi? I think it's holding something..."''
:''"It's... a letter? It's from Mr. Looker. <Player>... I'll read it out loud, OK?"
:''"Wh-what is this... Is he joking? What's this "[[International Police]]"? H-he wouldn't go and leave us, would he? Why...? Could he leave without even saying a word to us?! It can't be... He can't go... I don't want him to go off somewhere without us! He can't have gotten far yet, right? <Player>! I'm going after him!"''


;North Boulevard
In ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'', [[Professor Sycamore]] was attacked by a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{adv|Zygarde}}, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate or control her.
* On the Holo Caster, after exiting the [[Lumiose Museum]]
:''"<Player>! I just got a message from Xerosic! He's with Looker at Lysandre Café! I'm going to take Mimi there! Hurry over and join us!"''


;Lysandre Café
In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and [[Blaine]] at the [[Pokémon Village]]. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had [[Marisso]] attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.
* After the player arrives
:''"Where is he? Hold on! Wait for me, Mr. Looker!"'' (Xerosic welcomes her.) ''"Oh, Dr. Xerosic! Thanks for your message!"'' (Emma approaches Looker.) ''"Mr. Looker, I've been searching everywhere for you! Please t-tell me why, please... Why did you lie to us? Why are you leaving us behind?"'' (Looker says he has to follow the cases.) ''"Then take me and Mimi with you. We'll join whatever police! We can be police or anything--if only we can just stay together!"'' (Looker tells her it's impossible.) ''"Why not?! Why can't we?! I'm part of the Looker Bureau, too! I'm your assistant, aren't I?!"'' (Looker names Emma the Bureau's new head.) ''"Wh-what?"'' (Looker tells her to protect the peace of Lumiose City in his place.) ''"But that's not fair at all! Come on, <player>! Say something! Tell him he's wrong!"'' (Looker tells her they will always have a bond, and Xerosic backs him up.) ''"Dr. Xerosic..."'' (Xerosic gifts her the Expansion Suit and his Pokémon.) ''"Dr. Xerosic... Dr. Xerosic, you've tried to do terrible things to the world, I guess. I find it hard to see you as that kind of person. I only became a Pokémon Trainer thanks to your being there for me. ... ... ... I will always cherish your Pokémon and your suit, Dr. Xerosic. I won't forget our bonds, either..."'' (Looker reminds everyone that the train will leave soon.) ''"Mr. Looker... I think I understand... And I know what I'm gonna do. I'll keep on working hard for you. I've got Mimi and <player> to help me. With Dr. Xerosic's Pokémon and Expansion Suit, I will become the new head of the Looker Bureau!"'' (Looker bids everyone farewell.) ''"Thank you... And good-bye..."''


;Looker Bureau
In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.  
* Alone with Mimi
:''"That's enough..."''
:''"Hey, Mimi? You know, we've made a lot of really good friends since we left the alleys... Mr./Miss <player> and Mr. Looker... And Dr. Xerosic, too..."''
:''"Mimi... Those two old guys really did everything for us... Do you think that's what it's like...to have a father?"''
:''"Hehehe... Nothing. Never mind. Of course you wouldn't know any better than me, Mimi. But...I'm still glad. I'm glad we got to meet them."''


=====Looker Bureau (post-Looker)=====
In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.
*On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday
:''"Oh! <Player>! How're you doing? We've got no new cases in the Looker Bureau today! I was thinking of going for a walk with Mimi, but what if a client came in while I was gone? Do you think you could hold down the fort for a while?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Hehehe... Thank you, <player>. You're always so sweet. But never mind--I think I'll stay in. I can take a walk later. Mr. Looker entrusted me with the Looker Bureau, and I've got to be a good head!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, really? O-of course... I see... You're a really busy person, of course. Right, <player>? Sorry for asking too much. Just forget about it, OK? But don't forget that you are also part of the Looker Bureau! So feel free to drop by for a visit any time!"''
 
*On Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday (in the Expansion Suit), if she hasn't been battled
:''Oh, <player>, how are you? I just finished my work. Thanks to the Expansion Suit, it's easy to go anywhere, and with the Pokémon that Xerosic gave me, I can deal with any kind of job request! Oh, I know! <Player>, why don't we have a Pokémon battle?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Great! This'll be fun! Here I come!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, I see... That's a shame..."''
:*Upon being defeated
::''"Hmm... I lost..."''
:*After being defeated
::''"Hehehe... I lost... Hehehe... That was great! I knew you must be good at battling, <player>! Looker and the others said you were a Champion. I guess it's true, huh?"''
*On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, if she has been battled, she will repeat all but the first two lines of her after-battle quote if spoken to.

[[File:Emma Adventures.png|thumb|170px|left|Emma in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Emma debuts in the {{chap|X & Y}}. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but eventually ran away from her home to live as a street urchin in the Lumiose City alleyways. She befriended other homeless children and Pokémon that had similar experiences. Together, they banded together to form the Lumiose Gang with Emma serving as their leader. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his gang of friends. Due to her lack on knowledge of computers, Emma felt like a burden to Cassius, so she decided to take odd jobs to help her friends.
 
Emma first appears in the guise of Essentia at [[Shalour City]]. She attacks the [[Tower of Mastery]] in order to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. By keeping [[Korrina]] distracted upstairs with her {{p|Trevenant}}, Essentia interrogates [[Gurkinn]] on the bottom floor. When Gurkinn reveals that only his family and people he has entrusted a [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] to know about it, Essentia begins attacking him. Gurkinn attempts to escape, but the injury he received from Trevenant's attacks prevents him from moving quickly. As Gurkinn is trapped into a corner surrounded by flames, Korrina comes down to save him. Gurkinn also sends out his {{p|Heracross}} and Mega Evolves it to attack Essentia's {{p|Phantump}}. Gurkinn and Korrina attempt to escape, but find that Trevenant has slowly be covering the tower in its roots, preventing any attempt at escape. Having no choice but to protect the secrets of Mega Evolution, Gurkinn and Korrina have their Pokémon activate the Tower of Mastery's self destruct switch, causing the tower to collapse and destroy itself. As the tower collapses, Essentia tells Gurkinn her name and denies his previous claim that she is a member of [[Team Flare]].
 
Emma debuts as herself at Cassius's house, where the latter introduces her to {{adv|X}} and his friends. She adopts an Espurr that used to belong to a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} that Cassius and X defeated, which she later names Mimi. She travels with Cassius and his friends as they travel around Kalos to maintain their systems of various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. Later, Cassius gets a call from his friends from his [[Holo Caster]], that Emma has gone missing, with the former stating that it's not the first time it has happened.
 
Emma returns to [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] as Essentia to try out an upgraded version of the Expansion Suit. Later. she joins [[Celosia]] to help with Team Flare's operation to move {{p|Xerneas}}'s tree form to their base with the use of the captured Vaniville Town residents. While Celosia oversees the operation, Essentia is tasked with keeping out intruders. X and {{adv|Y}} arrive and attempt to stop this, but are defeated when Essentia's Trevenant manipulates the forest's plant life to prevent them from moving. As Celosia plans to finish the heroes off, X and Y are saved by Gurkinn, Korrina and [[Diantha]], who attack Celosia and Essentia with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Gurkinn helps free X's group with the assistance of his {{p|Gengar}}. He sends Gengar to battle Essentia's Trevenant, but none of its attacks manage to reach and eventually Gengar gives up in frustration and lounges next to a tree. Gurkinn decides to give Gengar to X, who accepts and names his new Pokémon Lasma. X Mega Evolves Lasma into Mega Gengar with his Mega Ring, giving it the power to easily sneak up from behind Trevenant and defeat it in one blow.
 
With her main Pokémon down, X's group surrounds Essentia now that they have the advantage and plan on opening her helmet to reveal her true identity. X's Pokémon proceed to attack, only to stop when Essentia's appearances changes to that of their Trainer. Xerosic is shocked that Essentia would use the Expansion Suit's untested camouflage function. Essentia uses her suit to confuse her opponents even further and attempts to escape, only for a wild {{p|Klefki}} befriended by Y's mother to strike her from behind and cause the suit to malfunction. After shifting between different appearances, Essentia retreats under Xerosic's orders. Later, Emma travels to [[Laverre City]], where she reunites with Cassius. She watches X's friends as they train to prepare for future encounters with Team Flare.
 
When X heads to [[Geosenge Town]] to attack Team Flare at their headquarters, Emma follows after him due to Mimi secretly climbing into [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. She offers to help X stop Team Flare and assists by sending a pair of attacking Grunts flying with Mimi's power. When Emma tells X about her past and how she met Cassius's gang, X begins crying, only to deny it when Emma notices him. They travel inside the headquarters, but are separated when X accidentally steps on a [[warp tile]] that teleports him away. Emma continues exploring the base by herself and eventually reaches the underground portion, where she finds a [[AZ|giant man]] locked inside a jail cell. Emma befriends the giant man and learns that his name is AZ. When Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna head into the building to help X, they end up walking past AZ's cell. They are initially startled by AZ's imposing size, but Emma assures the three that he is a kind person. After breaking the cell door, Emma and AZ join the three and head into the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where X had already been defeated by [[Lysandre]]. Trevor and the others attempt to stop Lysandre from firing the ultimate weapon onto the Kalos region. They are unable to prevent the weapon from firing, but the combined efforts of X's friends and allies manage to prevent the loss of innocent lives. AZ has Xerneas take Emma and the others to the surface while he is captured and forced to be left behind.
 
At [[Anistar City]], Emma, as Essentia, sends a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} to attack [[Professor Sycamore]]. When X and his friends arrive, they defeat the Hawlucha and rescue Professor Sycamore. As Essentia watches from behind the Anistar Sundial, she begins to wonder if she should chance attempting to steal X and Y's Key Stones despite her mission to trace the whereabouts of "{{p|Zygarde|Z}}", which had been seen around Anistar. Before she can come to an answer, her suit begins malfunctioning, causing Emma to awaken before turning back into Essentia.

Looker offering Emma a place to stay

In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of Lumiose City with her Espurr friend Mimi (Japanese: もこお Mokō). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy Poké Balls. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the Looker Bureau and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical Tourist angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the Lumiose Station. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his only Pokémon died during a past case. The culprits at the station turn out to be the Lumiose Gang, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually Lysandre Café and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for Xerosic's invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename Essentia (Japanese: エスプリ Esprit). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a Trainer and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the Lumiose Museum and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.

Xerosic controlling Essentia

The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the International Police and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.

201 Spoilers end here. 201

After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a rematch with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.

Emma in Pokémon Adventures
Emma as a member of the Lumiose Gang

Emma debuted in Trevenant Pokes. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the Lumiose City alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending Cassius and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.

Emma first appeared as Essentia at Shalour City, where she attacked the Tower of Mastery to obtain the secrets of Mega Evolution. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her Trevenant's roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina and Gurkinn were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

Emma debuted as herself in Morphing Manectric, where she was introduced to X and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around Kalos maintaining the Pokémon Storage System in various places like the Battle Chateau. In Shooting Frogadier, Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.

In Tying Trevenant, Essentia provided support for Celosia, who used mind-controlled residents of Vaniville Town to move the dormant tree form of Xerneas to the Team Flare Secret HQ. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and Diantha. With the Gengar he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.

In Gyarados Changes, Emma followed X to Geosenge Town after finding out her Mimi crawled into X's Kanga's pouch. They went inside the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were separated when X stepped on a warp tile and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named AZ locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In Flabébé Blooms, Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the ultimate weapon's control room, where they found that X failed to defeat Lysandre, but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the Kalos Gym Leaders successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

Essentia in Pokémon Adventures

In Rhyhorn Charges, AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined Y's team and was nicknamed Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by Malva and her Yveltal. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In Hawlucha Attacks, Professor Sycamore was attacked by a group of Hawlucha under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of Zygarde, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate or control her.

In Yveltal Steals, Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, Blue, and Blaine at the Pokémon Village. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought Mewtwo, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had Marisso attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.

In Zygarde Agitated, X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In Xerneas Gives, after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

Essentia's Trevenant
Trevenant
Trevenant is Essentia's first known Pokémon and was taken from a Trainer through the usage of the Poké Ball Jack function. It was used to attack Gurkinn and Korrina at the Tower of Mastery. It kept Korrina distracted while Essentia talked to Gurkinn. Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega Lucario was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move Xerneas to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained Gengar, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.

Trevenant's known moves are Horn Leech, Bulldoze, and Will-O-Wisp.

Debut Trevenant Pokes
Essentia's Phantump
Phantump
Phantump is Essentia's second known Pokémon. It was first seen with its Trainer when she asked Gurkinn about Mega Evolution. After getting some info, they immediately began attacking Gurkinn. Gurkinn retaliated with his Mega Heracross, which used its horn to ram Phantump.

None of Phantump's moves are known.

Debut Trevenant Pokes
Essentia's Hawlucha
Hawlucha (×4)
These four Hawlucha were used to attack Professor Sycamore at Anistar City. When X and his friends arrived, they battled the Hawlucha to save the professor. X sent out his Rute, which easily dodged the Hawlucha's moves before sending out the rest of his team to battle all the Hawlucha at once. During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air. Without their team member, the other three Hawlucha lost their teamwork and were easily defeated by X's team.

Their only known move is Brave Bird*.

Essentia's Xerneas
Xerneas
Main article: Xerxer

With her Poké Ball Jack, Essentia took control of Y's Xerneas, Xerxer. She used Xerneas to battle against X and Y, but was unable to fully control it. During the battle, X damages Essentia's helmet, causing her to lose further control over Xerneas. When Zygarde interrupts the battle, Essentia focuses her attention on capturing it, causing her to lose control over Xerneas entirely.

Essentia's Zygarde
Zygarde
Main article: Zygarde (Adventures)

Zygarde, also known as Kalos's "Overseer" (Japanese: 監視者 Watcher), first appeared in Anistar City. When Essentia attempted to capture it by having Trevenant bind it with vines, Zygarde attempted to retaliate by summoning the forces of nature and absorbing them into its body. Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, Blue, and Blaine. As it battled Mewtwo, X had his Marisso smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde. After Emma decides to fight Lysandre, he steals Zygarde's Poké Ball, allowing him to directly command it.
