Luke worked at the oldest movie theater in his town with | [[File:Luke camera.png|thumb|left|220px|Luke and his camera]] | ||
Luke first appeared in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. He was revealed to have worked at the oldest movie theater in his town with the owner, [[Mr. Matthews]]. He would assist with the projections in exchange for watching the movies for free. Occasionally, he would notice one of the female movie characters sitting in the audience. Intrigued, he went down to check on her after one of the movies, and she turned out to be a {{TP|Luke|Zorua}}. He and the Zorua shared a common love for films and he offered to give her a part in the movie he was directing, ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|The Legend of the Pokémon Knight}}''. However, he made her play all of the characters, including male characters. Angered, Zorua ran away which is when he met {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}, and the three of them volunteered to look for the Zorua together. | |||
Once Zorua was found, Cilan worked out the cause of Zorua's frustration with Luke and the two reconciled, giving her only one role, while Cilan, Ash, and Iris offered to play the other characters. {{TRT}} almost ruined his film when they attempted to steal Zorua, but thanks to Cilan's improvisation, his film managed to work out in the end. After his movie was premiered in the theater, Luke decided to partake in a tournament [[Don George]] was hosting. | |||
Luke accompanied the group to [[Nimbasa Town]] and registered himself in the [[Club Battle]] tournament in ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]''. He also documented the events that took place on and off the battlefield using his video camera. While documenting, he occasionally got interrupted by {{an|Bianca}}, who was either curious or wanted to know where his Zorua was. Luke's first opponent in the Club Battle tournament was [[Scooter]]. In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', he battled him using his Golett against Scooter's {{p|Darmanitan}} and emerged victorious. | |||
In ''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]'', Luke was revealed to own a {{p|Larvesta}} when he moved on to battle {{an|Cilan}}. Despite having a [[type]] disadvantage because of a powerful {{m|Scald}} [[move]]], Larvesta managed to defeat [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] and Luke advanced to the semi-finals. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Luke faced Iris in the semi-finals of the Club Battle tournament where his Golett was defeated by her {{TP|Iris|Axew}}'s newly-learned {{m|Outrage}}, eliminating him from the tournament. Afterwards he left the group to continue filmmaking and was showing his movies at film festivals across [[Unova]]. | |||
In ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', Luke was invited to enter the [[Pokéstar Studios Film Competition]] in [[Virbank City]]. After meeting up with {{ashfr|the group}}, he recruited them to make a new film, which ended up winning the competition and beating his director rival {{OBP|Jules|BW082}}. He decided to remain at Pokéstar Studios to work with [[Mr. Gold]] on a new film. | |||

He appeared in one of Ash's flashbacks in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'' about his travels in [[Unova]]. | |||

Luke was overly nervous, and restricted himself to simply watching movies instead of following his dreams of directing them. His encounter with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'' inspired Luke to breakaway from his job at a small town theater and travel in search of inspiration. He enjoyed filming the lively battle atmosphere and intense off-field rivalries at the [[Nimbasa Town]] [[Club Battle]] tournament. His few productions have gained him critical acclaim at film festivals and the Best Picture award at the [[Pokéstar Studios]] Film Competition.

History
Luke first appeared in Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!. He was revealed to have worked at the oldest movie theater in his town with the owner, Mr. Matthews. He would assist with the projections in exchange for watching the movies for free. Occasionally, he would notice one of the female movie characters sitting in the audience. Intrigued, he went down to check on her after one of the movies, and she turned out to be a Zorua.

Once Zorua was found, Cilan worked out the cause of Zorua's frustration with Luke and the two reconciled, giving her only one role, while Cilan, Ash, and Iris offered to play the other characters. Team Rocket almost ruined his film when they attempted to steal Zorua, but thanks to Cilan's improvisation, his film managed to work out in the end. After his movie was premiered in the theater, Luke decided to partake in a tournament Don George was hosting.
Luke accompanied the group to Nimbasa Town and registered himself in the Club Battle tournament in Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!. He also documented the events that took place on and off the battlefield using his video camera.

Character
Luke was overly nervous, and restricted himself to simply watching movies instead of following his dreams of directing them. His encounter with Ash and his friends in Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"! inspired Luke to breakaway from his job at a small town theater and travel in search of inspiration. He enjoyed filming the lively battle atmosphere and intense off-field rivalries at the Nimbasa Town Club Battle tournament. His few productions have gained him critical acclaim at film festivals and the Best Picture award at the Pokéstar Studios Film Competition. Luke's special effects and clever plotlines are key to his success as a film director. Even so, he remains humble in spite of his rising fame.

Luke's Zorua used to watch films in Mr. Matthews's theater, disguised as multiple different actresses from the films he would put on. She later met Luke after a movie and accepted his offer to be the leading cast in his film. However she became fed up with having to play most of the characters (especially the male ones) and ran away, later appearing disguised as the Miracle Fighter of a movie in front of Ash, Iris, and Cilan.

Golett is Luke's co-director and helped him out in his film by carrying his equipment, such as his camera. Golett also mans the camera when Luke can't, such as in Reunion Battles in Nimbasa! when Luke was in front of the camera, making a documentary. Golett also holds the Clapperboard in front of the camera when filming begins. It also helped Ash, Cilan, and Oshawott make props and weapons for Luke's movie.
Later, during the first round of the Club Battle tournament in Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!, Golett was used against Scooter's Darmanitan, where it easily defeated its opponent. It later battled Iris's Axew in the semi-finals, in Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!, where it was defeated by Axew's newly-learned Outrage attack. When Golett was not battling, it usually helped its Trainer film the other battles.
It appeared again in An Epic Defense Force! where it once again helped with Luke's movie, though it now starred in the movie instead of helping with carrying equipment. In the movie, Golett appeared to evolve, though it was revealed at the end that Golett had not really evolved, having stepped back for Zorua who took over its role with her Illusion ability.
Golett's known moves are Shadow Ball, Shadow Punch, Mega Punch, Double Team, and Gyro Ball.
