Tommy (Japanese: タロウ Tarō) also known as Tomo (Japanese: ターサン Tarsan) is a little boy who lives in Safari Land and was raised by Kangaskhan.
In the anime
Tommy is the character of the day in The Kangaskhan Kid.
Ash, Misty, and Brock were traveling through Safari Land when Team Rocket tried to steal a herd of Kangaskhan living on a preserve area of the park. A feral boy freed the captured Kangaskhan with his boomerang, and led them in action against Team Rocket.
Later, a rich couple arrived in a helicopter and explained they were looking for their son Tommy who had been missing for five years. The family was flying over the Safari Zone when the father held their child outside the window of the copter to give him a better look and dropped him. The couple showed Officer Jenny a picture of their boy, and she recognized him as Tomo - the feral boy who protects the Kangaskhan.
Brock tried to help an injured baby Kangaskhan and Tommy attacked Brock with his boomerang. Tommy's human parents tried to explain who they are, but Tommy insisted that the Kangaskhan have always been his real parents. Tommy's father knocked him unconscious and the boy remembered his past.
Team Rocket tried to steal the Kangaskhan again with a giant robot, but Tommy's parents crashed their helicopter into the robot to destroy it. Tommy's parents emerged from the rubble, however, and announced that they planned to live in the Safari Zone with Tommy and the Kangaskhan herd.
