Looker Side Quest

The standout post-game narrative — Detective Looker (International Police) has set up a bureau in Lumiose and needs your help. Multi-chapter story arc with original characters Emma and her Espurr "Mimi". Plot ties back to Xerosic (Team Flare). Highly recommended; ~2 hours total.

Chapter breakdown

Chapter 1 — That Man's a Real Looker

Meet Looker, tour the bureau, meet Emma + Mimi. Looker tasks you with finding 5 Looker Tickets scattered around Lumiose.

Chapter 2 — Hot Pursuit of the Phantom Thief

The five Looker Tickets are spread throughout Lumiose. Each one leads you to a Lumiose location/NPC. Pick them all up.

Chapter 3 — Bouts at the Battle Institute

Emma takes a job. The story develops her relationship with Looker as a father figure.

Chapter 4 — An Unforgivable Crime

Emma is unknowingly being controlled by a cloaking suit built by Xerosic — committing crimes she's not aware of. Investigation deepens.

Final — Here's Lookin' At You, Kid

Confrontation with Xerosic. He's arrested. Looker leaves Kalos for his next case but pays for the bureau in full — Emma keeps it. The ending letter from Looker reveals his true International Police identity.

Rewards: No major item rewards (a few Heart Scales / minor items at chapter ends). The reward is the story itself — Looker is one of the most beloved characters in the Pokémon series. Worth playing.
