Temacu's father is a Pokémon Professor who appeared in "The Heartbreak of Brock." He's best known for the chaos that ensued when his daughter developed a crush on Brock after he saved her from drowning in a fountain.
Recognizing Temacu's sudden interest in the traveler, her father approached Ash's group and invited them to his laboratory for dinner and tea. The next day, he gave them a tour, mentioning plans to expand the facility to house 100 different Pokémon. Things went downhill fast when Team Rocket raided the place—while his Pokémon miraculously survived the attack, Temacu herself vanished, prompting him to organize a search party with Ash and friends.
What followed was a scheme even Team Rocket found creative in its absurdity. James and Jessie disguised themselves as Temacu's fiancé and maid of honor, respectively, exploiting her infatuation to gain access to the professor's home. They managed to swipe a bag of Poké Balls from his storage before things fell apart. It wasn't until Ash's group showed up and exposed Team Rocket's identities that the professor realized he'd been robbed.
After Ash stopped Team Rocket's escape, the professor explained to the group that Temacu's sudden obsession with marriage stemmed from attending her cousin's wedding recently. He thanked everyone for their help and waved goodbye as they left town.
