Fish Pokemon will no longer be laughed at. We will no longer be slaves to the 'master class'. If this is not enough for my son to realize this, then so be it. My army will raise hell on this planet, killing what is necessary and taking the rest."*

**Gulliver the Second** (formerly "King" Gulliver) is a character that appears in Pokemon: Unlimited. His first debut was in Chapter 29, serving as a "concerned" father figure until in later chapters of the Gulliver arc. He is Gunther's father and a former Pokemon Superlative of the Dragon type, where he maintained his position to conceal some of his criminal activities. As a young Gible, he suffered as he watched his parents die from the hands of the "Superclass", along with other Fish Pokemon, which carried onto his present life. Unlike many other Superlatives, he is one of the few to not have eaten a Beast Berry.

## Physical Appearance

Gulliver appears as a tall, black Garchomp with a white belly and yellow patch underneath. He has scars over his right eye, mouth, and back fin. He is depicted to be smoking a cigar at times in the series. There are some differences however, as unlike a regular Garchomp, he has three spikes on his arms and a fin on the back of his head.

## Personality

Gulliver seems to express a very calm demeanor, not even being angry at the slightest hurl of insults. He even jokes about serious situations, even when all eyes are on him. However, should his henchmen fail or betray him, he shows a dark side that intimidates them. When Quincy failed to retrieve his son, he used Lancer to put pressure on finding him or face death on land.

With his son however, shows an ugly relationship. He views Gunther as "soft as a Jigglypuff", claiming that "expressing emotions" shouldn't be what males do, and doesn't even care about the passing of his own wife. When being questioned by him, he disowned him in front of everybody, which soured a lot of hearts to him except his henchmen.

## Powers

Gulliver's powers are like any other Pokemon, but he has a few "niches" that made him truly unique. He is capable of flying in the air despite a Garchomp not being able to learn the move. He also can copy moves as he observes, such as Happy's Aqua Jet (a move Garchomp can't learn yet). There are also some moves that he called them to be "shark-like", which are:

* **Shark Rush** - While not named, he rushes towards the opponent like a shark.
* **Shark Bite** - Chomps down on an opponent like a shark.
* **Sharknado** - A spinning rippling attack that can only be used underwater. Draws anything near him and rips it with his claws.
* **Sharklone** - A spinning tornado attack that can only be used on water. Can travel on land and sweep up debris.
* **Shark Drill** - Spins the body like a drill, having a form akin to a shark's.

He also has something that is considered to be dangerous, which is his Bloodlust Mode, something not from the Pokemon franchise. While in this mode, he is much stronger and will randomly attack anyone including his own son and henchmen. It is said that the bloodlust he feels clouds his vision, and the trait is "part of" a shark's characteristics.

His ability is Sand Veil, which is different from the other two Garchomp, as they have the Rough Skin ability.

## Overview

When Happy and friends arrive on Fertile Island, Quincy, the one who was supposed to find his son, is rattled by their questioning to the point where he heads straight into Gulliver's "palace". When he finds out that he didn't find his son, he tortures him by using Lancer's Auxxhy Berry to remove his breathing on land, threatening that he would turn him into an edible dish should he not be able to. However, he does take heed of Happy and friends' arrival, knowing that they were on their way.

As Happy and friends arrived at his palace, he quickly greets them after seeing his henchmen beaten up and lends the search of his son to them. Secretly, he dispatched a Sharpedo spy on them, informing him of their whereabouts via Roto-Phone even though he called off the violence. After his son was found, he also overhears that two of the Gabite that helped him evade pursuit. As a result, they were badly beaten and taken to his lower quarters, where he decided that prison followed by death would be the most appropriate action. He then sends note to the rest of his henchmen to deplore an armed fortress in case of an oncoming attack, knowing that Happy and friends would come to his place again.

When Happy and friends arrived again at his fortress, he noticed that his Grass-type prisoners were released, although it wasn't to his surprise since the Sharpedo spy updated him on it. He jokingly commented on the situation and challenged Happy and his friends to a showdown, noting that they were "swimming with sharks". While his two Garchomp went after Charles and Rippler, he focused solely on Happy. He summoned a sandstorm before the battle began in attempts to quicken his speed. As Happy was knocked to a wall, he noticed Rippler's wound and examined it, only to reveal a shock that would send chills down his body. When he noticed that Polly was searching around on the activities of the land dwelling Fish Pokemon, he rushed to her, only to be cut off mid-way by Charles. However, he quickly tossed him into the pool and struck Polly with Dual Chop.

Before he could finish Polly off, her husband came back and struck him to resume the battle. As Happy dove in to save Charles from his watery grave, Gulliver went after him. Although Happy successfully got Charles out of the water, Gulliver struck him to continue fighting him underwater. Whilst doing so, he reveals to Happy about his past, the connection of Dragon types to the "beast", and his plans on the world. He claims that what he was doing was for his son's benefit, only to be the complete opposite when he revealed that he would commit genocide even if his son would be in the midst of it. He then unleashed his Sharknado attack, which brought him and Happy out of the water with only Happy receiving scratches.

When he noticed his son Gunther, they have an exchange of harsh words, to which he dismisses him as his son in front of everyone. Angry from his disrespect, he lashed at him, threatening to kill him for his disobedience. Happy decided to intervene and knocked Gulliver away from his son, only to realize that he activated his father's bloodlust. Without thinking, he lashed out randomly and wounded some Pokemon, including Mary, who was tending to Rippler's wounds. Once Happy punched him again, it rid his bloodlust, but still continued his assault. He also copies Happy's Aqua Jet to match his speed, going blow for blow before entering his Bloodlust Mode again. He then unleashed a Sharklone attack over the water, which destroys almost the entire village along with sweeping his unconscious henchmen to the seas.

After successfully dodging the attack, Gulliver flew and threw Happy into his own palace, now wanting to kill him privately as he went into Bloodlust Mode again. When Happy reveals more of the palace's founding, Gulliver struck Happy with Shark Drill and bit him on his tail, preventing him from using his arms. However, the pain was enough to send Happy through the roof. In a desperate attempt to bring Gunther's smile back, Happy used Aqua Tail to slam Gulliver into his own empire, which caused it to collapse. Gulliver was defeated as he bled profusely and lay unconscious in the sands due to being slammed through many ironsands used to make the building stand. The Fertile Island residents then took Gulliver's unconscious body and tossed him into the ocean, celebrating their freedom from a tyrant.

As night came, Admiral Rodney Round of the 8th Division and his crew retrieved the unconscious Gulliver and placed him under their custody to escort him to a federal jail, where he will be prosecuted in the next few months.
