In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

Mr. Verich first appears at Gateon Port, where he stops a thug named Zook from beating Michael's sister, Jovi, up. He also provides free food and drink to the patrons of the Krabby Club, a bar in Gateon Port. However, for most of the game, Mr. Verich's purpose is unknown, and his existence is hardly referenced to at all.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

Mr. Verich has an alternate identity, Greevil, head of Cipher. This makes him a parallel of the Pokémon Colosseum character Mayor Es Cade, though Mr. Verich is the true head of the organization. His identity is only revealed once Michael defeats Gorigan at the Cipher Key Lair, where he invites Michael to Citadark Isle. When Michael is about to confront him for the first time, he tries to escape by putting up a barrier.

When he has is confronted for a second time, he battles Michael with XD001 before sending out his own party of six Pokémon. After being defeated, Ardos almost convinces him to restart the Shadow Pokémon project, but Eldes addresses Mr. Verich by father. He surrenders the idea of Shadow Pokémon and lets the justice be given to him for what he has done.
