Spike is a domestic robot constructed to look like a humanoid. Spike's job is mostly to keep up with Haruka and repair some mechanical equipment.

Bugsy (Tsukushi in original Japanese language versions) is in charge of the Hive Badge, and resides in Azalea Town. He is an expert on Bug-type Pok&eacute;mon. His name derives from the word bug.    In the anime  In the anime, Bugsy is a fairly nondescript gym leader whose gym is a large greenhouse dome with a forest-like interior. His motto is &quot;Whoever learns the rules of the Bug Pok&eacute;mon learns to rule the Bug Pok&eacute;mon&quot;, and his signature Pok&eacute;mon is Scyther, which he has specifically trained to counter fire Pok&eacute;mon. His other Pok&eacute;mon are a Spinarak that specializes in String Shot, and a particularly hard and hard-hitting Metapod. When Ash challenges Bugsy&#039;s Pok&eacute;mon Gym, Ash&#039;s relatively inexperienced Cyndaquil fails to defeat Spinarak. Ash&#039;s Chikorita succeeds, but in turn is defeated by Bugsy&#039;s Metapod. Pikachu finishes off Metapod, and in the end, Cyndaquil comes back to defeat Scyther, winning Ash the Hive Badge.    In the manga  In Pok&eacute;mon Adventures, Bugsy is an androgynous-looking archaeologist investigating the Ruins of Alph and the Symbol Pok&eacute;mon. His signature Pok&eacute;mon is a Heracross, supplemented with a Metapod. He later acquires a Kakuna and Scyther. He also has a special method of catching Pok&eacute;mon, one which was invented by him and Kurt, the Pok&eacute; Ball master. Bugsy has an external capture net attached to his Pok&eacute; Ball, so when he traps the Pok&eacute;mon inside the capture net it is automatically sucked into the Pok&eacute; Ball. If the Pok&eacute;mon manages to escape from the Pok&eacute; Ball, it will still be trapped inside the external capture net and thus will still be unable to break free completely. However, when Bugsy faces Suicune his efforts to fight the legendary Pok&eacute;mon head-on fail as his Heracross&#039;s strength falls to the much-stronger Suicune. Eventually Bugsy tries to use the capture net method to capture Suicune, but Suicune manages to break Bugsy&#039;s net for the first time, and escapes. Later, he is defeated by Sabrina in the Gym Leaders&#039; Challenge.

Yuuta gives his heart to a robot in development named Deckerd, he is made a captain to lead the Brave Police.
