Professor Proctor

Professor Proctor

Professor Proctor (Japanese: モロボシ博士 Dr. Moroboshi) is a character of the day who appeared in Where's Armaldo?.

Professor Proctor lives on Wales Island with his wife, Annie. Together, they research all the Fossil Pokémon in the Hoenn region. Proctor hoped to one day open up the island for everyone to see the Pokémon.

However, that changed when one of the Anorith he was looking after evolved into Armaldo and went on a rampage, destroying everything. It didn't calm down until after Proctor saved it from Team Rocket.

After the ordeal, Proctor decided that Wales Island and the Fossil Pokémon would be better off being a secret. He and Annie bid farewell to Ash and his friends and continued to research the Pokémon on Wales Island.

Pokémon

Looked after

		Anorith → Armaldo
		Armaldo evolved from the Anorith that was extracted from the Claw Fossil. As soon as that happens, Team Rocket come by and grab Armaldo with a net. However, they were unsuccessful in doing so as Armaldo freed itself with Metal Claw and they end up getting blasted off by Armaldo's Water Gun. After Team Rocket's first defeat in the episode, Armaldo goes on a rampage, destroying some of the parts of the lab in the process, and flees outside. Professor Proctor, Ash, and his friends do everything in order to win Armaldo's trust, including having to use May's Beautifly and Brock's Forretress to talk to Armaldo as they are both Bug type. None of those worked. Ash then battles it with his Corphish. During the battle, the professor notes that Armaldo dislikes the nearby fruit on the island and the only fruit it likes are the ones that it ate back then. Armaldo was able to find the fruit which was located at very tip of Wales Island when it was a peninsula. Armaldo gets caught again by Team Rocket and is trapped in their mecha. Professor Proctor goes to the mecha and tells Armaldo to attack the area that he is pounding on. Armaldo attacks the area with Metal Claw and is freed. After Team Rocket's second defeat in the episode, Armaldo starts to trust Professor Proctor and become friendlier to him as he rescued Armaldo. Armaldo's known moves are Metal Claw, Water Gun, Dig and Rock Blast.
