Keycard's boss-and-totally-not-dad. Yeah, nobody else believes that either. Just the way they pose with each other in official photographs would tell anyone that much. The two have polar opposite eccentricities, which actually lends very well to their work.

Keycard originally met Ilima whilst out on a case, but their similar brands of ecentricity and laidback attitudes compelled them to keep meeting outside of work. Key likes to tease him for "having a thing for detectives" due to the first pokemon in his party being a Gumshoos.

Keycard thinks of Nanu as a sort of weird uncle whom they get to see every other weekend. He's clinically chill and a bit eccentric but relaxing to be around; not to mention, with all the cases they've been called on together in Alola, they may as well be family anyway.

Keycard is actually Kalosian, and pretty much all Kalosian kids know Professor Sycamore. Like many others, he gave them their first pokémon, but rather than one of the traditional three, he gave them a particularly special Dedene; for a particularly special young boy, he had said. Keycard still remembers that. He thinks about it a lot.
