Tooi Rondo (known as Tory Lund in most international territories) is a young boy who lives in LaRousse City, a futuristic city in Hoenn that relies completely on technology. He is also the son of the head scientist in LaRousse, Dr. Rondo. Four years prior to the main events of the film, Dr. Rondo took Tooi with him on an investigative trip to the Arctic. When a meteorite carrying Deoxys crashed, the impact disrupted a pack of nesting Todoseruga and caused a stampede. Tory was surrounded by the Todoseruga and, as a result, became deeply traumatized and found himself terrified of Pokémon. Four years on, Tooi's fear of Pokémon still lingered, despite the fact he loved them.
