In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] proper, notes in [[Sea Mauville]] reveal that Takao's father, Raizoh, was a researcher for [[Greater Mauville Holdings]] and the [[Devon Corporation]] who spent nearly all his time working, apparently causing his marriage to unravel. One of the few things Raizoh had to remind him of his son was a Hi {{p|Skitty}} doll the latter had sent to Sea Mauville. The retrieval of that doll proves to be the object of the Sea Mauville sidequest. Takao used to live in {{ci|Rustboro}}, but at some time moved, possibly to {{to|Fallarbor}}.

The letters also mention that Takao's father had once given him a {{p|Shelgon}}, but once it evolved into {{p|Salamence}}, Takao was disappointed that it no longer looked like a Meteorite and [[trade]]d it for a friend's {{p|Solrock}}. He also received a telescope from his father.
 
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], Professor Cozmo works at the Mossdeep Space Center to help stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] that's on a collision course with the planet. After noticing the meteoroid's approach at the beginning of the episode, he enlists the help of Steven Stone and the player in retrieving him [[Meteorite Shard]]s required to power the device intended to warp the meteoroid somewhere else. However, this plan is ruined when [[Zinnia]], believing the warp hole will just transport the meteoroid into {{pkmn|multiverse|another universe}} to be its problem, destroys the device, much to Cozmo's shock. Once the player has successfully destroyed the meteoroid with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s help, Cozmo is seen celebrating the good news at the Space Center.
 
After the Delta Episode, Professor Cozmo can be found at his home in Fallarbor, where will give the player a [[Galladite]]. He also mentions that he intends to forward the new information found by the player to [[Professor Sycamore]]. Takao mentions he is friends with Sycamore, as the two worked together a few years prior to the events of the game, researching Meteorites at Meteor Falls.<ref name=Sycamore>''"I know a man, a dear friend in the [[Kalos]] region, who has been researching [[Mega Evolution]]. We worked together a few years back here at Meteor Falls researching Meteorites. I'll have to share this information with him at once."''</ref>

;Professor Cozmo's house
*First time
:''"Hah…haha… Thanks to these children, I have somehow returned."''
:''"But I need to thank you, as well. You truly saved me from disaster. I hope you'll take [[TM23|this TM]] as some small form of repayment."''
*If talked to again
:''"Those crooks who took my {{key|VI|Meteorite}}… What will they do next at [[Mt. Chimney]]?"''
:''"Oh, welcome, welcome! Make yourself at home."''
 
*After the Delta Episode
:''"Oh! Why, hello again! What good fortune... I'd been thinking that if I saw you again, I would want to give you [[Mega Stone#Galladite|this]]..."''
:''"I happened to pick this up some time ago, while doing excavation at Meteor Falls. I hoped it might help you and your team along on your journey. But I'm still astounded by it all. A relationship between the Mega Stones, Key Stones, and the Meteorites... My, but new facts do come to light every day! This is what makes my research feel worthwhile! I know a man, a dear friend in the Kalos region, who has been researching Mega Evolution. We worked together a few years back here at Meteor Falls researching Meteorites. I'll have to share this information with him at once. It might propel his research forward, and help future Trainers and Pokémon. I hope it does."''
 
;Letters to his father at Sea Mauville
;First letter
:''"Dear Daddy,<br>How are you? Are you working really hard? I'm doing well. I'm doing all my homework, and I'm helping at home, too. Mommy's working hard and makes us dinner every night. Do you have to work this weekend? Are you going to come home? If you come home, take me to see the star show, OK?<br>—Takao Cozmo<br>P.S. I'm going to send you the picture I drew at the Trainers' School."''
;Second letter
:''It looked like another letter, but it's a drawing. The drawing is of a boy's face, and written next to it are the words "I love you, Daddy."''
;Third letter
:''"Dear Daddy,<br>How are you? Are you working really hard? I was sad that you didn't come last weekend. But Mommy didn't seem so sad. She went out with her friend. I finally got the telescope that I've been wanting. It was from you, wasn't it? Thanks, Daddy. I really, really wanted it. I like looking at the sky, Daddy. When I look at the stars, I wonder if you are looking at the same stars, too. Let's look at the stars together, next time you come home.<br>—Takao Cozmo"''
;Fourth letter
:''"Dear Daddy,<br>How are you? You aren't working too hard, are you? You never come home anymore. I'm worried if you're OK. Mommy goes out with her friends a lot. It seems like fun, so I guess she's doing OK. The {{p|Shelgon}} you gave me evolved the other day. But I liked it better when it was a Shelgon and it looked like a Meteorite. {{p|Salamence}} was kind of a letdown, so I asked a friend to [[trade]] it for his {{p|Solrock}}. I'm sorry, Daddy. I know it was a present, but I think Solrock is cooler. When it gets dark tonight, I'm going to look at the stars again. I'm going to think of you when I do.<br>—Takao Cozmo"''
;Fifth letter
:''"Dear Daddy,<br>I was really, really happy to get to meet you the other day. It was so fun playing together again, and going to see the stat show, too, even if it was just the two of us. It was sad that Mommy couldn't go, and even more sad when you and Mommy fought that night. I'll study hard, just like you told me, and I'll be a good boy, so don't fight. But let me keep watching the stars, even if I have to do all my homework, too. When I grow up, I want to be a professor and study the stars.<br>—Takao Cozmo"''
;Sixth letter
:''"Dear Daddy,<br>Thanks for writing to me. I'm doing really well here, so please don't worry about me. I hope I'll see you again someday. I dream about it all the time. I brought the telescope you bought me to our new house. Please don't work too hard, Daddy. I hope you are OK. I will always, always love the stars, and I will always, always love you.<br>—Takao Cozmo<br>P.S. I'll give you my Hi Skitty doll. Please take care of it for me."''
;Seventh letter
:''It looked like another letter, but it's a photo. There's a little boy holding a telescope, with a woman beside him, looking bored.''

;Mossdeep Space Center
:''"Ah, <player>! Thank you for coming! And you brought the {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}} with you. Well done!"''
:''"Indeed... Please come this way."''
:''"I imagine that you've heard some of the situation from [[Mr. Stone|President Stone]] already. Our current plan involves using the Infinity Energy within our rocket, combined with the life energy of humans found in Key Stones... We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution! We will fire the energy produced from our rocket into space... And create a "warp hole." By creating a warp hole in the path of the incoming meteoroid, we hope to be able to transport it somewhere far away from here. As a matter of fact, this technology already exists and has been incorporated in some of our commonly used devices. I think you know what I mean. Those panels than spin you about and then out you come, warped to another spot. I imagine you've stepped on a few such?"''
:''"Well. We're not entirely sure, but... We do have a device that links the warp holes. We've named it the Link Cable. But there's no need to worry. Based on our theory, we can at least guarantee that we will be sending it away from our planet. However, we've realized that we will need more energy than originally anticipated to control the Link Cable properly... I'm sorry to ask this of you, but with one more Meteorite Shard..."''
:''"Wh-who are you?! What're you doing here?!"''
:''"..."''
:''"Uh... Yes... Ah, you see... In order to complete the warp hole, we will need another Meteorite Shard, an extremely pure one...
:''"No... The kind of Meteorite Shard we need this time can only be found at Meteor Falls."''
* If talked to again
:''"I think we will be able to complete our preparations if we can get a Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls. Young Steven has already set out. I trust you'll follow after him..."
* After Steven obtains the second Shard
:''"You fool! You have no substantive proof, and yet you claim another world, one just like our own, exists? Out of this fantasy, you—you have destroyed our only hope!"''
:''"Y-you! Do you even know— Now what are we to do?!"''
* If talked to again
:''"This is no time to lose heart! I've somehow got to find a way to repair the dimensional shifter!"''
* After {{p|Deoxys}} is captured or defeated
:''"Calm yourself, man! Oh, who am I kidding! I’m so happy, I could kiss you! We did it! We actually did it! Wahahahaha! Success is ours! Hahahaha...ha... Hah... Thank you, <player>."''

Professor Cozmo appeared in ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', where {{Ash}} met him at Mt. Chimney. Similar to the games, Team Magma was trying to get their hands on the Meteorite he had just found there, eventually succeeding in doing so. The Meteorite was placed inside of a machine in an attempt to make the {{cat|Volcanoes|volcano}} erupt. As Ash was unable to break the Meteorite's container, Professor Cozmo decided to push the whole machine down into the crater instead, choosing to rather lose the Meteorite than let the [[villainous teams|villainous team]] possess it. Afterwards, he guided Ash and {{ashfr}} to take the [[Jagged Pass]] down to [[Lavaridge Town]], wishing Ash good luck in his upcoming Gym battle at the [[Lavaridge Gym]].

Professor Cozmo briefly appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', where he noticed [[Gabby and Ty]] infiltrating the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] in search for information regarding the destruction of the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that had threatened the planet. Feeling the public was not ready yet to learn of the {{p|Deoxys}} that had emerged from the destroyed meteoroid, he tried have the reporter duo hand over the information they had uncovered, only for them to run off while chased by security guards.

Professor Cozmo believed [[Team Aqua]] to be noble heroes, so he assisted them with the meteorite and their device on Mt. Chimney. He was taken hostage by Team Aqua and was locked inside their headquarters shortly after their mission succeeded, and only rescued by [[Winona]] and [[Flannery]] deep in the crisis. Winona took him to the [[Pokémon Association]] airship where he was reunited with his three aides.
Cozmo is apparently good friends with [[Roxanne]] and was once her teacher.


In the the ''FireRed & LeafGreen'' chapter, it is revealed in a flashback that Cozmo found the meteor that fell from the sky which was later a part of Team Aqua's plan. He also discovered two life forms on the meteor, and passed them to [[Mossdeep Space Center]] where they were later stolen.

Professor Takao Cozmo (Japanese: ソライシ・タカオ博士 Dr. Takao Soraishi) is a character in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. He is a meteoriticist who lives in Fallarbor Town.

In the games

Professor Cozmo at his home in Fallarbor Town

Professor Cozmo leaves either with Team MagmaREOR or Team AquaSAS for the Meteor Falls, thinking that they are going to help him excavate meteors. However, the offending team steals the Meteorite, intending to use it to power their machine at Mt. Chimney. In Generation III, after defeating the Grunts and the team's leader, the player can take the Meteorite from the machine and return it to the Professor in exchange for TM27 (Return). In Generation VI, the player keeps the Meteorite for themselves after receiving it from the defeated team leader.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version's first scenario, Takao appears in Mossdeep Space Center, asking for Orlando and Steven's help.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire proper, notes in Sea Mauville reveal that Takao's father, Raizoh, was a researcher for Greater Mauville Holdings and the Devon Corporation who spent nearly all his time working, apparently causing his marriage to unravel. One of the few things Raizoh had to remind him of his son was a Hi Skitty doll the latter had sent to Sea Mauville. The retrieval of that doll proves to be the object of the Sea Mauville sidequest. Takao used to live in Rustboro, but at some time moved, possibly to Fallarbor. The letters also mention that Takao's father had once given him a Shelgon, but once it evolved into Salamence, Takao was disappointed that it no longer looked like a Meteorite and traded it for a friend's Solrock. He also received a telescope from his father.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's Delta Episode, Professor Cozmo works at the Mossdeep Space Center to help stop the giant meteoroid that's on a collision course with the planet. After noticing the meteoroid's approach at the beginning of the episode, he enlists the help of Steven Stone and the player in retrieving him Meteorite Shards required to power the device intended to warp the meteoroid somewhere else. However, this plan is ruined when Zinnia, believing the warp hole will just transport the meteoroid into another universe to be its problem, destroys the device, much to Cozmo's shock. Once the player has successfully destroyed the meteoroid with Rayquaza's help, Cozmo is seen celebrating the good news at the Space Center.

After the Delta Episode, Professor Cozmo can be found at his home in Fallarbor, where will give the player a Galladite. He also mentions that he intends to forward the new information found by the player to Professor Sycamore. Takao mentions he is friends with Sycamore, as the two worked together a few years prior to the events of the game, researching Meteorites at Meteor Falls.[2]

Main series

Professor Cozmo in the anime

Professor Cozmo appeared in Fight for the Meteorite!, where Ash met him at Mt. Chimney. Similar to the games, Team Magma was trying to get their hands on the Meteorite he had just found there, eventually succeeding in doing so. The Meteorite was placed inside of a machine in an attempt to make the volcano erupt. As Ash was unable to break the Meteorite's container, Professor Cozmo decided to push the whole machine down into the crater instead, choosing to rather lose the Meteorite than let the villainous team possess it. Afterwards, he guided Ash and his friends to take the Jagged Pass down to Lavaridge Town, wishing Ash good luck in his upcoming Gym battle at the Lavaridge Gym.

Professor Cozmo in Pokémon Generations

Professor Cozmo briefly appeared in The Scoop, where he noticed Gabby and Ty infiltrating the Mossdeep Space Center in search for information regarding the destruction of the meteoroid that had threatened the planet. Feeling the public was not ready yet to learn of the Deoxys that had emerged from the destroyed meteoroid, he tried have the reporter duo hand over the information they had uncovered, only for them to run off while chased by security guards.

In the manga

Professor Cozmo in Ash & Pikachu
Professor Cozmo in Pokémon Adventures

Ash & Pikachu

Professor Cozmo appeared in Two Groups Attacking! Magma VS. Aqua, playing a similar role as in the anime.

Pokémon Adventures

In the Chuang Yi translation of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, he is referred to as Professor Starstone. This error is rectified when he appears in a flashback during the FireRed & LeafGreen arc.

Cozmo is apparently good friends with Roxanne and was once her teacher.

Ruby & Sapphire arc

Professor Cozmo believed Team Aqua to be noble heroes, so he assisted them with the Meteorite and their device on Mt. Chimney. He was taken hostage by Team Aqua and was locked inside their headquarters shortly after their mission succeeded, and only rescued by Winona and Flannery deep in the weather crisis. Winona took him to the Pokémon Association airship, where he was reunited with his three aides.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

It was revealed in a flashback that Cozmo found the meteor that fell from the sky, which was later a part of Team Aqua's plan. He also discovered two life forms on the meteor, and passed them to Mossdeep Space Center where they were later stolen.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

Cozmo and his three aides confirmed the imminent apocalypse of the planet in ten days by a giant meteor, and later helped out at the Mossdeep Space Center while awaiting the dimensional shifter developed by Devon Corporation. Sapphire, after ending up inside the rocket on standby at the Mossdeep Space Center through one of Hoopa's portals, managed to find her way out of it and handed the dimensional shifter to Cozmo, which he examined to be fully charged. He notified Mr. Stone and Steven of the successful delivery, and also the media's knowledge of the meteor's imminent collision with the planet, causing Mr. Stone and Steven to rush back to Mossdeep from Sea Mauville.
