He informs them that he first saw a UFO as a child and became inspired to create his own UFO. After teaching at a university, he later left and used his knowledge to build a miniature UFO, and that was when he met Elgyem lying in the forest. He nursed it back to health and the two became close.

Later, Elgyem is kidnapped by Team Rocket and Imori gives chase using his UFO and with the help of Cilan, Ash, and Iris, manages to get Elgyem back. The pair later bid their new friends farewell.
