Kurio

(Japanese: クリオ Kurio) is a character of the day who appeared in SS009. His hometown is Ecruteak City.

Kurio met Ash and Goh after Pikachu hit his Pokémon with Thunderbolt. He later explained why he used his Fearow and Cyndaquil to pose as Ho-Oh and introduced them to his grandfather Jiei. They later headed up the Bell Tower, where they encountered a Misdreavus and Stantler who were standing guard. After being distracted by Stantler's illusions, the group reached the top of the tower after Goh caught both Stantler and Misdreavus. Everyone called out to Ho-Oh without success, and Kurio proceeded to leave with Ash and Go.
