Biography

Lucario first appeared as a Riolu with its trainer, Cameron, to compete in the Junior Cup, but were disappointed as they found out it was over. Later, Cameron found out that he needed an eight badge to enter the Unova League, and at the same time it was shown it did not take lightly its trainer's act of forgetfulness, after that both him and Cameron head to the Humilau City gym along Ash and his friends.

Cameron and Riolu joined by Ash and his friends to travel to the Humilau Gym so Cameron could get his final Gym Badge. After getting lost and separated from Ash's friends, Riolu, Cameron, Ash, Pikachu, and Meloetta fled into a cave to shield themselves from the pouring rain and stayed there for the night. Later after meeting Marlon, Riolu stood alongside Ash, Pikachu, and his friends watching the gym battle against Cameron and Marlon, though Cameron was going to use it at first in the gym battle but he accidentally left it on the side, forcing him to use his other Pokémon battle in the fight. After a hard fought battle Cameron won and Riolu was glad that he won and celebrated. Afterwards Riolu and Cameron later said goodbye to Ash and his friend as they would to see each other in the Unova League.

Riolu appeared again in the Vertress City Unova League. It was seen coming out of a tent along with Cameron near the building where the conference was being held, they revealed that they were camping for three days to come to the league early, but they found out that they had to register, and at that time, registration ended. Ash then rushed Cameron to the building to register, and the two trainers and their partner Pokémon were able to persuade Nurse Joy to let Cameron in. After Ferrothorn won the first round for Cameron and Samurott beingknocked out by Bianca's Emboar in the next round, Riolu made his battle debut. With both trainers down to one Pokémon, Riolu effortlessley defeated the Mega Fire Pig Pokémon with Vacuum Wave without being damaged. He also defeated Kenton's Gigalith in the Top 16.

Riolu was used as Cameron's final Pokémon against Ash to battle Pikachu, who had defeated two Pokémon before him. Despite taking virtually no damage from the previous fights, Pikachu was recalled for Unfezant. Riolu defeated Unfezant without being touched forcing Ash to send out his sixth Pokémon, Snivy. Though the battle went well for the two in the beginning, Snivy showed that Riolu was not invincible and started a comeback. Ash forced Snivy to dodge Leaf Storm so she could slam him into the ground with Vine Whip. Vacuum Wave did nothing, and when a second one came her way, she dodged with her vines and finished him with Leaf Storm. However, when all hope seemed lost for Riolu, he miraculously evolved into Lucario and gained his strength back.

Snivy hit him with an Overgrow-powered Leaf Blade, but Lucario hit back with Force Palm. Snivy bombarded him with Vine Whips, but Lucario caught the vines and swung Snivy around. Though that wasn't enough to finish Snivy, his new Aura Sphere was, which left only Pikachu to battle. Pikachu started off with multiple Quick Attacks, all doing damage until Lucario caught the electric mouse and hit him with Force Palm. After a tie between Aura Sphere and Electro Ball, Lucario failed at landing both Force Palm and Circe Throw, and was damaged by a brutal Thunderbolt attack. After being struck by Quick Attack in midair, Lucario copied Pikachu's Iron Tail, and the two attacks collided. Lucario struggled to his feet, but readied an Aura Sphere, while Pikachu readied an Electro Ball. Mustering all of their strength, the attacks were launched, and the entire stadium lighted up from the epic collision. But this time, it wasn't a draw, and Lucario's Aura Sphere prevailed, shocking the entire stadium and knocking Pikachu out. In the semi-finals, it knocked out Virgil's Umbreon making both sides have only three Pokémon left. Lucario was recalled, but when all of Cameron's other Pokémon were defeated, he was stuck in a corner as Cameron's last Pokémon, with Virgil still having three Pokémon left. He tried to attack, but nothing could hit Flareon through Double Team, and Lucario was wiped out by Flareon's Fire Blast, eliminating Cameron from the tournament in the Top 4.
