In X and Y, Emma is a young woman living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend, Mimi. She meets Looker and the player when they are sent on a case after concerned mothers report 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, however Emma wouldn't want to leave behind Mimi who is terrified of adults. Looker approaches Mimi and tells her she is also welcome, but Mimi runs away and the player is sent to find Mimi and return her to Emma. Once Mimi is returned, she is much friendlier to Looker and accepts Looker's invitation and the player and Looker escort Emma and Mimi back to the Looker Bureau.
In X and Y, Emma is a young woman living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend, Mimi. 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 woman speaking Japanese angrily shouting insults about Looker, who just left thinking the woman wanted tea. Emma defends Looker as Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the Lumiose Station. Looker returns and Mimi begins translating for Looker. He then leaves for the station and finds a trio of thugs there who admit to stealing the woman's Pokémon. After they are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands they return the Pokémon to the woman. The thugs reveal that Emma unintentionally became their boss after she beat them in a fight and they recognized her strength as leadership.
During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical woman angrily shouting insults in Japanese about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking Japanese, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player, 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 [[Croagunk (Pokémon)|only Pokémon]] died during a past case.


During the third case, Emma approaches Looker and asks him if she and Mimi are a burden to him financially. 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 work at a café she saw that was looking for workers. It turned out that the café was [[Lysandre café]] and that Emma was actually tricked into being [[Xerosic]]'s guinea pig to test out his new invention, the Expansion Suit, and was given the codename '''Essentia''' (Japanese: '''エスプリ''' ''Esprit''). She is equipped with super-human jumping abilities, and camouflage. During that time, Emma was unconscious and completely unaware of her actions. From her perspective, she was taking a nap inside the suit. For days she helped Xerosic perfect his invention until finally she was ready. As a test run, he made her travel to the Lumiose Museum and vandalize a painting. To his surprise, Emma had no Pokémon of her own, so he let her borrow some of his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon preferred playing with Emma over battling. This left Xerosic no other choice but to control the suit remotely.
The culprits at the station turn out to be 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.


She began lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle where she would steal their Poké Balls afterwards. This caught the attention of Looker who comes up with a plan to find the culprit and return all the Poké Balls. He instructs the player to be bait to catch the perpetrator, but when they finally corner her and Looker realizes it's Emma, she begins to sever Xerosic's control over the suit and unintentionally attacks Looker after Mimi tried to snap her out of her trance.
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-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.


The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After defeating Essentia once again, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. Xerosic agrees, and lets Emma go and allows Looker to send him away. After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the International Police, and he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to help ensure she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. She vows to keep Lumiose safe with the abilities the Expansion Suit have given her and keeps the name Essentia as her codename. The player can return to the Looker Bureau at any time and challenge Emma to a rematch.
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 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.
 
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. The player can return to the Looker Bureau at any time and challenge Emma to a rematch.

Emma (Japanese: マチエール Material) is a character introduced in X and Y Versions that played a major role in the post-game side story with Looker in Lumiose City.

In the games

In X and Y, Emma is a young woman living in the dark alleyways of Lumiose City with her Espurr friend, Mimi. 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 woman angrily shouting insults in Japanese about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking Japanese, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player, 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 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-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 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.

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. The player can return to the Looker Bureau at any time and challenge Emma to a rematch.
