Biography[]
Pockets is first seen walking out of a van, along with his goons to try and find the Wish Dragon, Long. He beats up some security guards to get past the construction site. He eventually finds a boy named Din Song with the magical teapot and instructs his goons to take it. However, Din wishes for the knowledge to fight and beats up the goons and managed to escape. Pockets returns to his mysterious employer and tells him that they will find Din eventually. During most of the movie, Pockets is seen trying to track down Din, but never finds him.
Eventually, Pockets managed to track Din down at the Pearl Tower with his best friend Li Na. They escape, but end up fighting in a New Year’s parade with Din and Li Na posing as Long as a piñata while Pockets and the goons pose as a lion. However, they managed to escape once again.
When Mr. Wang (who turns out to be Pockets’ employer and Li Na’s father) realizes that the boy he was looking for was Din, he ordered Pockets to take him to him. While Din is trying to make his last wish to Long, Mr. Wang approaches to ask Din for the magic teapot, with Pockets behind him. Din then runs away, with the teapot with Pockets behind him. Din easily defeats Pockets, forcing Pockets to use his hands for the first time to fight. During the ensuing fight, Din gets kicked by Pockets, causing him to fall off the scaffolding and into a trash bin. Mr. Wang, while holding on the scaffolding and getting hold of the teapot, berates Pockets for harming Din, but Pockets takes the teapot anyways and kicks Mr. Wang off the construction site, mortally wounding him. Pockets then wishes for the Midas Touch from Long and tests it on the scaffolding, leaving a sad Li Na with her father dying in her arms.
Pockets, along with Tall Goon and Short Goon, then flee the scene. Running out of time, Din uses a crane to jump onto the back of the van as it slowly heads for a bridge. Pockets then tries to attack Din with his Midas Touch several times, but misses and causes the van to slowly turn into gold. Din then gets onto the roof while Pockets fights him, leaving Long to grant Tall Goon and Short Goon wishes (which causes both Din and Pockets to be piled up in puppies Tall Goon wished for).
The van tires then turn into gold causing the car to fall off the bridge, sending both Din and a screaming Pockets falling out, though they both managed to grab the teapot and summon Long simultaneously. Pockets orders Long to throw Din off, but the dragon refuses, forcing Pockets to kick Din away from the teapot, making Din unable to see Long. Pockets tries to persuade Din into joining him so they could both be rich, but Din refuses the offer and tries to take back the teapot, though Pockets incapacitates him and has him cornered and declares that Din could be a statue for him in his office instead.
Right before Pockets uses the Midas Touch on Din, Long interferes, being the one to turn into gold. Angered by Long’s death, Din seizes the opportunity to lunge at Pockets while he was distracted. Pockets notices this too late as Din kicks him in the arm, causing him to accidentally touch himself and plummet off Long. While descending, Pockets starts turning into gold and realizes what his wish had gotten him into as he screams while falling and petrifying. Once Long was fully gold, he and Din started falling after the now fully gold Pockets. While Long and Din end up hitting the water, Pockets ends up hitting the side of the bridge, shattering him into numerous gold pieces and evidently killing him.
