Oakley (Japanese リオン Lion) is the main antagonist of Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias. She is the partner and younger sister of Annie.
History
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, is after the Soul Dew and the Eon Pokémon Latias and Latios, the entities they need to use the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare (DMA). Not long after activating the DMA, Oakley quickly learns how to use it. In that time, she floods Alto Mare, almost drowns Ash, and resurrects Kabutops and Aerodactyl Fossils, among other things. Adept as she may be at using it, however, she does not know when to stop, which eventually proves to be her downfall. When Annie tried to remove her from the DMA, her sister became stuck as well.
At the very end of the movie, they were rescued by police and sent to a heavily-guarded prison. Their last scene is in said prison, where they examine the possessions of Lawrence III. Presumably, both are still behind bars.
Character
Like her sister, Oakley is very charming, manipulative, tech-savvy, and thorough in her work. Both are exceptional athletes with vain, thrill-seeking personalities and a ruthless determination to succeed, but Oakley has a thirst for power that, once her mind is affected by the DMA, blinds her into behaving psychotically and ruthlessly, such as wanting to control the world with the oceans and willing to wipe out anyone who gets in her way.
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), she exclaims "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.
Abilities
As mentioned before, Oakley has excellent balance and athletic abilities, making huge leaps and cartwheels while fighting Latios and Latias with no trouble and keeping perfect balance on a beam that Jessie, James and Meowth have trouble with. 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 capture Latios using what appears to be a net of energy.
Pokémon
On hand
Ariados is Oakley's only known Pokémon. It is first seen in Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias when Annie and Oakley were trying to capture Latias disguised as Bianca. It reappeared throughout the movie.
Ariados's known moves are String Shot and Night Shade.
Mentioned
In the Japanese version of the movie Annie and Oakley can be seen arguing with each other after their defeat. Oakley states how, when they were in kindergarten, Annie evolved her Gloom into a Vileplume when she wanted a Bellossom instead.
Temporary
Oakley used ancient DNA to resurrect a Kabutops and an Aerodactyl to chase after Ash and Latias. In the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of Alto Mare, but were drowned when a Latios brought water to the city. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.
Aerodactyl's only known move is Hyper Beam.
