ORA-00119: invalid specification ORA-00132: syntax error

Below are outputs from my SQLPLUS startup , LSNRCTRL SERVICES, LSNRCTRL STATUS and TNSPING. Also included are my LISTENER.ORA file, TNSNAMES.ORA and my PFILE.

As you can see from the SQLPLUS startup output the database will not startup because init.ora file local_listener is setup as LISTENER and it says its unable to resolve that name. However the LSNCTRL status shows the name of the LISTENER to be LISTENER, so I'm not sure how LSNCTRL utility is seeing the LISTENER and SQLPLUS can't. My guess, is I'm missing something and I'm sure its OBVIOUS and SIMPLE. Any help would be appreciated!
