'''Larry''' (Japanese: '''セキネ''' ''Sekine'') is a character from {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}. He is a resident of [[Ringtown]] and lives with his [[Larry's Daughter|daughter]]. 

Larry is first encountered soon after {{Ra|Spenser}} brings the {{player}} to [[Ringtown]]'s [[Ranger Base]]. Showing a tendency to panic, he frantically begs Spenser to find a Ranger to capture his "precious" [[Pokémon]], then shows his rude side, insulting the player by calling them a rookie and saying 'a less trustworthy face I've never seen' when Spenser assigns Larry's request to the player as a Rookie Mission.  Larry's panic also leaves the player without knowing what kind of Pokémon they are looking for, leaving no choice but to capture every kind in sight until his {{P|Taillow}} appears.  Despite everything that happens, Larry is grateful for the service and apologizes for insulting the player.

Later, due to Larry's habit of pouring too much affection onto his Taillow, the Taillow gets into a fight with the {{P|Plusle}} or {{P|Minun}} that followed the player from [[Fall City]]. The ensuing fight introduces the player to [[Poké Assist]]s and then results in Plusle or Minun becoming the player's {{ra|partner Pokémon}}.

After defeating [[Gordor]], Larry is one of the many people who gather outside [[Fiore Temple]] to congratulate the player.

You find out from his daughter that due to constantly chasing after his Taillow, he was able to come first in a marathon.

* Ringtown Ranger Base:
: ''"Trouble! There's trouble! It's a crisis! Help, help, help!"''
: ''"Listen, Leader! My precious Pokémon ran off in the [[Lyra Forest]]! Hurry! Capture my Pokémon and take it into protective custody!"''
: ''"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa?! Don't be afraid of failure? Leader, you've got to be joking! Failure's no good! You've got to be afraid of failing! Are you sure it's going to be OK asking this rookie {{tt|guy/girl|Depending on the player's gender.}} to handle this mission?"''
: ''"Well, isn't this just dandy. I asked the Leader because he's the most trustworthy Ranger here. But look at this rookie. A less trustworthy face I've yet to see!
