History

Lucas has experienced similar events to his core series counterpart as the NPC character. He grew up in Sandgem Town and later became Professor Rowan's assistant. While on his journey, Lucas became friends with Dawn,^[2] and caught an Infernape and a Eevee. Lucas's Eevee would later evolved into a Flareon because it admired Lucas's Infernape.^[3]

Trivia

• Lucas is based on the NPC character from the Sinnoh-based games, as his character description mentions how he is Professor Rowan's assistant from Sandgem Town.
• Lucas's Pokémon Evolutions counterpart is depicted with an Infernape. Infernape is also Lucas's signature Pokémon if the player chooses Piplup as their first partner Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Origin

In addition, Lucas's Pokémon Adventures counterpart teamed up with Dialga in the manga. Dialga's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Pearl.

Lucas's Flareon may be based on the Eevee that can be obtained from Bebe at Hearthome City. As Professor Rowan's assistant, Lucas uses a Flareon on his team when battling him in Sandgem Town after entering the Hall of Fame 10 times if the player chooses Chimchar as their first partner Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Flareon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Torterra is the fully evolved form of Turtwig, one of the three first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh in the core series games. Torterra is Lucas's signature Pokémon if the player chooses Chimchar as their first partner Pokémon in the Sinnoh-based core series games. Torterra's Dex entry comes from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
