History

Murdock debuted in HZ001 alongside the other members of the Rising Volt Tacklers. He and his teammates were searching for Liko at Indigo Academy, but to no avail. In the following episode, he met and introduced himself to Liko aboard the Brave Asagi. He later took over the wheel from Friede when the Explorers' infiltrated the airship.

Character

Murdock is a caring person. As seen in HZ003, he likes to shower his Pokémon with affection and praises and is mindful to his teammates, such as when he asked Liko whether or not she have any allergies or food she dislikes right after she decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers. Not only can he cook but he could sew too, having Orla calling him to fix the patches on blimp.

Rockruff is Murdock's only known Pokémon. It appeared for the first time in HZ002, where it played with Liko's Sprigatito.

In HZ003, Rockruff was used to search for Sprigatito, who had been kidnapped by the Explorers. Using its powerful sense of smell, it managed to detect Sprigatito's aroma in Conia and, after alerting the other, chased her back to the Explorers's hideout. Whilst Friede distracted Amethio in a battle, Rockruff continued the search with Liko and found Sprigatito.

In HZ005, Murdock used Rockruff to battle the Explorers when they confronted the Rising Volt Tacklers. It battled against Zir and his Rhydon.
