Personality[]
Harry's relationship with his son is shown as being strained due to his work, where Tim was raised by his maternal grandmother rather than by him or his wife.

Biography[]
Past[]
After Harry was hired to help capture Mewtwo, he found out about their plans and refused. Harry and his Pikachu betrayed their employer, used an electric shock to break Mewtwo's tank and free it, foiling Howard's plans due to moral reservations about the usage of the R gas. As a result, Howard sent Laurent's genetically modified Greninja after Harry in an attempt to kill him, but this attempt was thwarted by a grateful Mewtwo, who saved Harry's life by merging his soul with his Pikachu's. After wiping his memories, Mewtwo sent Pikachu to find his son, understanding that, though Harry still have amnesia from the car crash caused by the Greninja; after Howard Clifford's plan was thwarted, Mewtwo separated Pikachu and Harry's souls and Tim finally reconciled with his father.
