Following Lusamine's abduction at the hands of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}, she helped the group in their quest to save her. In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', as she was on her way to the others at the Altar of the Sunne, she got attacked by a group of wild {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}, but was saved by Professor Kukui. This, however, caused the two to not make it in time to enter [[Ultra Space]] with Ash and the others. Although, she had to stay behind, Burnet still helped out by leaving a marker using a machine, which later allowed Ash and his friends to return to their own world.

Professor Burnet (Japanese: バーネット博士 Dr. Burnet) is a researcher who debuted in Pokémon Dream Radar. Her research specializes in the relationship between Pokémon and other dimensions.

In the games

Professor Burnet studies the Interdream Zone, the space between dreams and reality. She is friends with Fennel from college; they became friends because they were both interested in studying dreams.

Burnet made her core series debut in Pokémon Sun and Moon, where she is revealed to have married Professor Kukui of Alola. Three months prior to the start of the story, Burnet had found Lillie lying on a beach, with Nebby in her bag. Ever since, she and her husband have been helping Lillie find out more about Nebby. After the player completes the three island trials of Akala Island, Kukui invites the player to the Dimensional Research Lab in Heahea City, where she has been researching the strange phenomena occurring in the Alola region, the Ultra Wormhole and the Ultra Beasts. She appears in the same role in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Reason: Pokémon Dream Radar

Pokémon Dream Radar

  • When starting the game
"So you're the new researcher? I appreciate you coming along. I'm Burnet! I research dreams. As part of that research, I'm investigating a certain place. I'm really fascinated by something I saw there--the mystery Pokémon!"
"So! I want you to help me with my research! Whatcha think? Try tapping Start Search on the device in your hand."
Start Search: Basic Extension: "OK! Now we're ready. Let's be on our way!"
  • When searching for the first time
"Hee hee! So, whatcha think? I had you dive right in without an explanation, but... right now, you're looking at the space between dreams and reality. It's called the Interdream Zone. Let's start by having a look around!"
"So, you see a fluffy object floating there like a cloud, right? That's a Dream Cloud! They materialize in different cycles and create energy. And what I'd like you to help me with is collecting that energy! I want you to gather the Dream Orbs made by the Dream Clouds. So, whatcha think? I'll tell you how to gather them... Could you align the crosshairs with a cloud in the center of the screen? When a cloud is in your sights, press Ⓐ!"
"Well, how about that? You're amazing! That Beam isn't exactly easy to get the hang of, but... not only were you blasting away with ease, but your aim was spot on, too! Can you keep it up and hit the remaining clouds with the Beam? The number of clouds left is next to the cloud icon on the Touch Screen. Oh yeah! The orbs coming from the clouds are called Dream Orbs. To gather them, hit them with the Beam. Use Ⓐ, just like before."
"Could it be? That light might be a Pokémon. Sometimes Pokémon slip into the Interdream Zone. Would you help it out? You have to catch it first. Use Ⓐ to fire the Beam and stall its movement. Then, press Ⓐ repeatedly. Keep hitting it with the Beam until the meter fills up. If you take too much time, it will run away."
"If you catch a Pokémon, I want you to return it to the real world. Could you send the Pokémon you catch to the Trainer you trust most?"
"That Pokémon just now! That's it! Wow! Encountering it on your first search is just amazing! THAT is the mystery Pokémon I've been looking for!"
"Great work! I'm so happy to have met you! I really want your help. First, let's collect the Dream Orbs I need for my research! Dream Clouds usually appear at a rate of one every five minutes. They don't form while you're researching, though. So visit the Interdream Zone after many Dream Clouds have appeared. So, whatcha think? I'll be counting on you from here out."
  • When only 1 Dream Cloud appear in a search
"Dream Clouds appear to generate more energy when in a big cluster. Maybe you should search when many clouds have appeared. When there aren't many clouds, they don't leave as many Dream Orbs. Patience is important. Take it easy. This should feel like a leisurely stroll in the Unova region. Take some time between searches."
  • After selecting "Next search"
"Thanks for all your hard work"
"My inventions haven't been well received by the researchers..."
"It seems something about my devices is always a little odd."
  • After clearing a search
"Welcome back!"
Any of the followings
"Are you used to operating the device now? To catch a Pokémon, fire the Beam with Ⓐ and hit it. Then, press Ⓐ, and keep hitting it with the Beam."
"Thanks for the hard work! Are you making sure to eat?"
"Dreams can lead to breakthroughs and discoveries sometimes. Maybe dreams are important because the reins are taken off the cerebrum."
"I feel good leaving those Pokémon with a Trainer that you trust! Have you tried sending them research data yet? I can't wait to hear about the adventures those Pokémon have."
"I think I'll have a little ice cream to cool my head... Ice cream... That ice-cream cone Fennel brought was sure delicious."
"Your friend is in the Unova region, right? I hear there's a Gym Leader there called Roxie, and she's really tough! But I guess when it comes down to it, I'm a researcher, not a battler!"
"If you encounter a quick Pokémon, use the Dragnet Charge. It slows them down so they're easier to catch."
"The Dream Orbs you're gathering are vital to my research. They're a sample from the Interdream Zone. Thanks for always gathering them. It's a big help!"
"At the current Visoscope level, all of the Dream Clouds will appear... in the time it takes for the sun to look like it has moved 30 degrees. So, in about 120 minutes!"
"Thanks for all your efforts!"
Any of the followings
"Hold down Ⓐ to fire the Beam in rapid succession."
"It's nice of you to work so hard, but make sure to get lots of sleep!"
"I'm shocked how much my research has progressed since you arrived!"
"Are dreams just noise? Or do they have a vital meaning for us?"
"I really want some fresh air. Maybe I'll go for a walk."
"Could people and Pokémon dream to process strange experiences? Or do we dream because sleep puts the brain in a special state? There are still many mysteries."
"Are you using support items? They make it much easier to catch Pokémon, so try them out!"
"When I counted them, I found out that you gathered... <number> Dream Orbs! Thanks for bringing me so many!"
"My research is moving along! Science isn't about the absolute... it's about always moving forward into the next phase! That's why it's endlessly fascinating."
  • ???
"Thanks for all your efforts!"
"I'm working on an extension for catching Therian Forme Pokémon... Development is moving right along. I'm over halfway done!"
"Welcome back!"
"Thanks to you, the Eureka Extension β is almost done! I'm making my final adjustments. I can't wait to see how it turns out!"
  • When selecting the Development Lab (first time)
"I want to upgrade the device you're using, but I need Dream Orbs. I will be able to make more progress if I have a lot, so keep 'em coming!"
  • After making a selection
"For that I will need <number> Dream Orbs. OK?"
YES: "OK! Just leave it to me!"
  • After any upgrades
"Now, everything is ready to go! Anything else you're interested in?"
  • When selecting Development Lab (subsequent times)
"Whatcha think? Want to try out one of the inventions I'm developing?"
  • When Retrieval Extension is unlocked
"Thanks to you my research is moving along nicely. And I completed a new extension! The Retrieval Extension makes it easier to find Pokémon. If you'd like, use it the next time you go out on a search."
  • When Eureka Extension α is unlocked
"Thanks to you, I finally finished this extension! With this, you will be able to find the mystery Pokémon! I want you to do your best and catch it! If anyone can catch a Pokémon no one has caught before, it's you! I believe in you!"
  • After catching Tornadus
"I never would have guessed that the mystery Pokémon was Tornadus! I just did a lot of research on that Tornadus... The reason it looks different than it does in the real world is... it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme! Those other two Pokémon I saw... they must have been Therian Forme Thundurus and Landorus. I'll get to work on extensions that will let you meet those two. I'll need lots of Dream Orbs, but you're here, so I'm not worried! I'm counting on you! Keep up the good work!"
  • When Dowsing Extension is unlocked
"An idea pooped into my head as I was watching you work. I made this new extension. The Dowsing Extension reacts to Pokémon that are holding items. Try it out the next time you go out to search."
  • When Eureka Extension β is unlocked
"I completed the extension! With this, you should be able to find a Therian Forme Pokémon. You caught Tornadus, so I'm sure you'll succeed this time, too! Good luck!"
  • When Eureka Extension γ is unlocked
"The extension is ready! If you search with this, the identities of all the Therian Forme Pokémon... will finally be clear. I really want you to catch it, but don't do anything crazy. I don't want you to get hurt! I mean... You're the only one here who is a decent shot with that Beam. Kidding...kidding. Sentimental stuff makes me a little embarrassed. I mean, you're one of my teammates, and you're very important to me. OK. I'm counting on you! See you when you get back!"
  • After catching Thundurus
"I knew you could do it! What you just caught now is Therian Forme Thundurus. What a foreboding appearance! How wonderful! I'm sure researching Therian Forme Pokémon is important. It'll be a big part of unlocking the mysteries of the Interdream Zone. I'm working on an extension to find Landorus, but I need Dream Orbs. I'm counting on you!"
  • After catching Landorus
"Welcome back! Thank you so much! Excellent work! Therian Forme Landorus! I can barely take my eyes off it. What's more, researching these three Pokémon will not only... teach us much about the Interdream Zone... it will also shed light on many mysteries in the real world as well. It might change everything we know about dreams and reality. What you found for me may be a clue about a new dimension. This is a discovery for the history books. My research is going to get even more interesting. You've really gone above and beyond for me... but I'd be really happy if you'd come help when you have a little time... like during breaks from your research or something like that. I mean, no other researchers have instincts as good as yours. Whatcha think? Hee hee. I can't wait to see what you'll help me discover next!"
  • When Simulator α, Simulator β, and Simulator γ are unlocked
"I've been waiting for you. I came up with something neat... new simulators! I made them so we can research the traits of Tornadus and the others. If you'd like, use them like you'd use any other search extension. They need a lot of Dream Orbs to operate, though!"
  • When Temporal Extension is unlocked
"I had a sudden breakthrough and developed a new extension! It's called the Temporal Extension! Give it a try if you'd like!"
  • When Spatial Extension is unlocked
"I made a new extension between other projects. It's called the Spatial Extension! If you're interested, test it out."
  • When Renegade Extension is unlocked
"I made a strange extension. It's called the Renegade Extension! Its theme is alternate worlds! Give it a try!"
  • When Rainbow Extension is unlocked
"The Rainbow Extension is ready. Something good might happen! If you'd like, try it next time!"
  • When Diving Extension is unlocked
"I was inspired by the calm and by the rage of the sea. So I made the Diving Extension. Try it out next time."
  • When Special Extension A is unlocked
"The Special Extension A is ready to go!"
"I made it when the idea popped into my head while playing with magnets."
"If you'd like, give it a try."
  • When Special Extension B is unlocked
"When I was cleaning my drawer, I found the Special Extension B."
"I made this extension a while ago, but if you want to, give it a try."
  • When Special Extension C is unlocked
"Hey, guess what? I just found the Special Extension C."
"I think I might've been researching the rotation of the planet at the time."
"If you'd like, try it during your next search."
  • Records

Professor Burnet debuted in A Dream Encounter!. She first appeared on television, having won the "Alola Woman of the Year" award and being noted as the first active researcher to win. She was later seen investigating the Altar of the Sunne alongside Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba, due to Ultra Aura being detected from that location. After returning empty-handed to Aether Paradise, another Ultra Aura signature was detected on Melemele Island, the source being Nebby. As a result, Professor Burnet and the others headed over to Professor Kukui's house. There, she was introduced to Ash and told him about the legend of the Ultra Beasts and the possibility of Nebby being one.

In Deceiving Appearances!, Burnet was seen conducting her research at Aether Paradise and met Ash's other classmates for the first time. Burnet stayed at Professor Kukui's house for a sleepover in Night of a Thousand Poses!. While spending time together, she started bonding with Kukui. She later had a talk with Lillie about Lusamine, telling her Lusamine does care about her.

Following Lusamine's abduction at the hands of Nihilego, she helped the group in their quest to save her. In Revealing the Stuff of Legend!, as she was on her way to the others at the Altar of the Sunne, she got attacked by a group of wild Jangmo-o and Hakamo-o, but was saved by Professor Kukui. This, however, caused the two to not make it in time to enter Ultra Space with Ash and the others. Although, she had to stay behind, Burnet still helped out by leaving a marker using a machine, which later allowed Ash and his friends to return to their own world.

In The Professors' New Adventure!, she and Kukui got married after the latter had proposed to her. Since their marriage, Burnet has moved in with Kukui and Ash and has made more frequent appearances in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon ever since.

Starting in A Mission of Ultra Urgency!, Burnet, along with Lusamine and Wicke, would brief Ash and his classmates whenever they embark on a mission as Ultra Guardians. She also often accompanies them when the caught Ultra Beast gets released back into Ultra Space.

In Filling the Light with Darkness!, mysterious dark clouds appeared over Alola, leaving all of the adults tired and without motivation. Burnet was first seen lying on the floor, unmotivated to perform her usual field work. She was later seen at Aether Paradise with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba. After doing some research, they found out that the cause of the incident was a small Ultra Wormhole that was slowly draining Alola's Ultra Aura. Later, at the Altar of the Sunne, she and the others informed the Ultra Guardians of their findings and had them use their Z-Moves to fuel a machine that could disperse the clouds to find out the Ultra Wormhole's location. In the next episode, Burnet and the others witnessed Lunala and Necrozma emerging from the Ultra Wormhole. She was later seen arriving at Melemele Island, along with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba, after Necrozma had fused with Nebby and had left. She and the others then oversaw Lunala recover in the Ultra Guardians base.

Professor Burnet pregnant

Later, after the Ultra Guardians left for Ultra Space with a fully recovered Lunala, Burnet stayed behind at the Ultra Guardians base with Lusamine and Wicke to gather information on UB Black and its connection to "the Blinding One". She later discovered that UB Black was in fact the Blinding One, who lost its light. She also found out that in order to restore it back to its former self, the light from Solgaleo and Lunala, as well as from the people of Alola and their Pokémon, had to be shared with it through prayer. After Wicke managed regain contact with the Ultra Guardians in the next episode, Burnet was able to share her findings with them. She then joined the rest of Alola in sharing their light with Necrozma so it could return to its true form. After Necrozma returned to its Ultra form, Burnet watched as the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala returned to Alola, alongside Lusamine, Wicke, Faba, and Kukui.

In Turning the Other Mask!, Burnet was extremely excited to see the Masked Royal in person at the Hau'oli City Shopping Mall. Accompanied by Ash and Molayne, she attended the meet-and-greet and became incredibly flustered in the Masked Royal's presence, unaware of the fact he was actually her husband in disguise. She finally learned that Kukui was the Masked Royal in Exhibition Unmasked! after it was announced during the Manalo Conference.

During the Manalo Conference, Burnet watched the battles alongside Lusamine, Wicke, and later Faba. During Ash and Kukui's exhibition match, she sat with Delia and Professor Oak to watch the battle. She was happy to see how much fun Kukui had battling.

In Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Burnet bade farewell to Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie, and Ash as they left Alola for their respective travels. Ash left his Alola Pokémon with her and her husband. Burnet was later revealed to be pregnant.

Character

Professor Burnet is a well respected research scientist who specializes in Ultra Wormholes. Her intelligence and technical knowledge is impressive. While Burnet's approachable and positive attitude makes her instantly likable.

After moving in with her new husband Kukui, from The Professors' New Adventure! onward, Burnet became a motherly figure for the household. Burnet supported Ash during his time in Alola, offering him advice like in No Syone Unturned! where she suggested Ash teach Rowlet a new move to defeat Hau. She also became a motherly-figure for Ash, and supported him as a mother would, and when Ash was set to depart from Alola, Burnet cried and hugged the young Trainer, saying that she, and Kukui, would always be there for him should he ever need their help.

History

Black 2 & White 2 arc

Professor Burnet debuted in this chapter. She was first seen in a fantasy in PS541, where she was mentioned by Fennel, who said she was a great help to her research on Dream Mist.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc

Burnet moved to the Alola region and married Professor Kukui. Three months prior to the start of the chapter, Burnet found Lillie and a Pokémon lying unconscious on a beach. In The Decision and the Tournament of Six, she was seen with Lillie at Professor Kukui's house, where they watched a tournament being held at an Iki Town festival on the television. Burnet was excited to see the Masked Royal battle against Sun in the first round, but was disappointed when he ends up losing.

Later, Burnet received several Pokémon documents from Kukui while he was at the Dimensional Research Lab. As they talked, Burnet revealed that Nebby is actually the Legendary Pokémon Cosmog. Burnet suggested that Lillie may have been trying to keep Nebby away from someone, but she refused to clarify who she was trying to escape from. To Kukui's surprise, Burnet suggested that he make Lillie his assistant, as it could help her begin to open up more.

Later, Burnet decided to take Lillie shopping in order to get her out of the house more. As they headed towards Hau'oli City's boutique, Burnet accidentally triggered painful memories of Lillie's past. Lillie's distress caused Nebby to fly out and begin clawing at the sky, creating a crack in the sky in the process. When Lillie eventually fainted, Nebby stopped and went down to check on her condition out of concern. Later that day, Burnet contacted Professor Kukui, Sun, Moon, and their friends and told them all about what happened to Lillie. With this information, everyone speculated that the various cracks seen around Alola were caused by Nebby and that Lillie must have been running away from some villains in order to keep Nebby from them. Worried that she may not be able to keep Lillie safe alone, Professor Kukui suggested Burnet meet up with him, Sun, and Moon at Ula'ula Island.

Later, Burnet and Lillie used Mantine Surf to travel over the water to Professor Kukui's yacht as it headed off to Ula'ula. Shortly after arriving, the group was attacked by a wild Bruxish, which used its psychic powers to give everyone headaches and pass out. Although Sun successfully rescued Lillie, who was knocked into the water, he and Lillie ended up passing out as well and are separated from the others. Later, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon were rescued by the Aether Foundation and taken to Aether Paradise. There, they met Faba and Wicke, who explained what happened to everyone and offered to give a tour of Aether Paradise.

Later, after leaving Aether Paradise, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon took Kukui's yacht to Ula'ula Island. Kukui, sensing a strange change in the atmosphere, feared that a battle may have started in the hour since the Captains' group arrived at Po Town to talk with Team Skull. With nowhere to dock the yacht, Moon told Kukui to get as close to Ula'ula as he can while she had Rowlet carry her to Po Town by flying through the air. After finding a place to dock, Burnet and Kukui met back up with Sun and Moon in Po Town. Kukui gave Sun one of the Mirage Berries that was left behind on the yacht so that Sun and Moon could feed it to Tapu Bulu.

Later, Burnet went off to the Aether House to meet up with Lillie. When Lillie spotted Gladion fighting off one of the Ultra Beasts that had been rampaging around Alola, she ran off to go see him. When Lillie arrived at Gladion's location, she was attacked by a Guzzlord. Though Burnet tried to protect Lillie, both were saved by Gladion's Silvally. To everyone's surprise, Lillie and Gladion revealed themselves to be siblings as well as the children of Aether Foundation President, Lusamine. Lillie explained that three months ago, she stole Nebby from Lusamine in order to prevent her from using its power to further her plans. When Lillie presented a Sun Flute she also took from Aether Paradise, Gladion decided that they should head towards the altar.

None of Mantine's moves are known.
