Gatch the Searchhog

Gatch the Searchhog is a anthropomorphic search engine/hedgehog hybrid from a video game of the same name. He is a Virus Buster tasked to protecting the Internet Universe from Orcathan when it was released by Dr. Eggman. Though he not as strong or fast as both Sonic and Knuckles but makes it up with his appli power of searching through the web, allowing him to access many contents throughout the internet such as the Keywordexes, which are unlockable and upgradeable cylinders containing special powers and abilities, one of which is Segata's signature Judo Throw, along with duplication, size changing, and even using Chaos Control to mainly freeze time without the need of a Chaos Emerald.
His search ability can be extended to where his scanner vision locates anything within distance using Navija's waypoints, looks through solid objects, and even analyze stats of others. Gatch can even detect weak-points of others and exploit them to easily defeat his enemies in battle. Although, he has a fair share of weaknesses, whenever he searches a certain content on the web, the results can be blocked or not found, also unlike Tails who he befriended knows whats outside the Internet Universe, Gatch doesn't seem to understand outside contents between his world and Tails'.
Unlike Sonic and Amy's relationship, his relationship with Dokeri is more distant than close as they known each other since childhood but after the events of Orcathan's previous viral corruption, they were separated into their districts and kept under strict control in their sector but Gatch later has access to the Game District and kept his distance from Dokeri while she attends to her performance as a idol. Though Dokeri tends to scorn him for his unattended misuse of his search ability and takes him away from the prying eyes of security.
When in battle though, he transforms into Super Gatch to increase his strength and speed in battle and becomes capable of Deep Dive Search, allow him to access more powerful versions of Keywordexes and Netpons. Unlike Deep Search which is more like grabbing a searchable Netpon or Item, Deep Dive Search allows Super Gatch to warp through the deepest part of the worldwide web and grab of powerful version of a Netpon or Item he can obtain. Then during his battle with Orcathan alongside Super Sonic, he becomes Global Gatch, capable of Ultimate Search which can scan the entire global network in search of foes running loose and somehow scans for any incoming threats or attacks. Ultimately, even though Super Sonic was no match for Orcathan but Ultimate Gatch destroyed it with ease.
Sonic, Tails and Gatch shares the same enemy being Eggman, but being experienced with combating Virus sent by VIURSCorps and defeated Orcathan one time before released once more. Also, he does enjoy Gachibar which are like graham coated chocolate bars with his demonic facial appearance designed by his predecessor.
