Annie and Oakley

Annie (Japanese: ザンナー Zanner) is the secondary antagonist of Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias. She is a Team Rocket operative, at least in the English dub, alongside her partner and younger sister Oakley.

Not much is known about Annie nor her sister before Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, but since James instantly recognizes them, their reputation precedes them. In the dub, they were assigned a mission by Giovanni, implying Team Rocket membership, but this is not present in the original. Annie, along with her sister Oakley, was after the Soul Dew and the Eon Pokémon Latias and Latios, the entities they needed to activate the mechanised weapon known as the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare or DMA. Trailing Latias through Alto Mare, Annie and Oakley located the Secret Garden, home to the Eon duo and the Soul Dew. While Latias escaped, Annie and Oakley managed to grab Latios and the Soul Dew. While Oakley commandeered the DMA, Annie became a worried bystander when Oakley lost control and Alto Mare came under threat of a tsunami. When she tried to remove Oakley from the DMA, she instead became stuck as well. At the very end of the movie, they were rescued by police and sent to a heavily guarded prison. They were last seen in said prison, where they examined the possessions of Lawrence III. Presumably, both are still behind bars. Annie briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies.

Unlike her younger sister Oakley, Annie is less concerned with their goal than she is about her appearance. She is more stable and suave than her sister, and more enchanted by the beauty of the Soul Dew than the abilities of the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare or capturing Latias and Latios for Giovanni. Like her sister, Annie is very charming, manipulative, tech-savvy, and thorough in her work. Both have vain, thrill-seeking personalities and a ruthless determination to succeed, but Annie lacks Oakley's megalomania.

Annie has excellent balance and athletic abilities, making huge leaps and cartwheels while fighting Latios and Latias with no trouble. She also has some rather advanced technology at hand; she has glasses that can identify Latias when disguised and can see Latias and Latios when invisible, and they captured Latios using what appears to be a net of energy. However, Oakley is usually the one operating these devices.

Oakley (Japanese: リオン Lion) is the main antagonist of Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias. She is a Team Rocket operative, at least in the English dub, alongside her partner and older sister Annie.

Not much is known about Oakley nor her sister before Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, but since James instantly recognizes them, their reputation can be assumed to precede them. In the dub, they were assigned a mission by Giovanni, implying Team Rocket membership, but this is not present in the original. Oakley, along with her sister Annie, was after the Soul Dew and the Eon Pokémon Latias and Latios, the entities they need to activate the mechanised weapon known as the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare or DMA. Trailing Latias through Alto Mare, Annie and Oakley located the Secret Garden, home to the Eon duo and the Soul Dew. While Latias escaped, Annie and Oakley managed to grab Latios and the Soul Dew. Not long after activating the DMA, Oakley quickly learned how to use it. In that time, she flooded Alto Mare, almost drowned Ash, and resurrected the evil Kabutops and Aerodactyl Fossils, among other things. Adept as she may be at using it, however, she did not know when to stop, which eventually proved to be her downfall. When Annie tried to remove her from the DMA, she instead became stuck as well. At the very end of the movie, they were rescued by police and sent to a heavily-guarded prison. They were last seen in the said prison, where they examined the possessions of Lawrence III. Presumably, both are still behind bars. Oakley briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies.

Like her sister, Oakley is very charming, manipulative, tech-savvy, and thorough in her work. Both have vain, thrill-seeking personalities and a ruthless determination to succeed. Despite being the younger sister, Oakley appears to be the brains of the operation. Annie may be more suave and equally capable in combat and capture, but Oakley is the mastermind of the plan. Once driven power-hungry by the DMA (an implied side-effect of its operation), Oakley exclaimed "I can control the whole world from in here!" in the dub, or "Now this city is mine!" (もうこの町はあたしのもののよ！) in the original.

Oakley has excellent balance and athletic abilities, making huge leaps and cartwheels while fighting Latios and Latias with no trouble. She also has some rather advanced technology at hand, including special glasses that can see through optical illusions like transformations and invisibility, and her computer analytics applications allow her to scan data with incredible speed.
