===History===
====Pre-series====
100 years prior to the events of the series, Lucius met and battled Gouging Fire in Area Zero before catching it in an . As one of Lucius's Pokémon, it became part of the Six Heroes, being known to "cover miles of ground". Due to Paradox Pokémon not being known at the time, it was mistaken with its modern-day counterpart, .
Finally having reached Laqua, the Explorers found themselves in trouble after Gibeon meddled with the Laquium crystals found in the paradise. The Six Heroes released themselves from their Ancient Poké Balls and tried to contain the crystals, but to no avail. Afterwards, Rystal's , Pagogo, transformed into its and gave some of its energy to the Six Heroes, allowing them to seal the Laquium away. As a result of this, Lucius was trapped in Laqua, Pagogo reverted into a dormant state, and the Six Heroes got scattered around the , with Gouging Fire and its Ancient Poké Ball ending up back in Paldea's Area Zero.

Gouging Fire, still mistaken with Entei, was first mentioned in Rivals in the Dark of Night!, as Diana encouraged Liko to go after the Six Heroes.
In HZ078, following Mamoru's directions from the previous episode, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede encountered Entei in an archipelago off the Olivine City coast and battled against it. Despite proving to be a very powerful opponent, they ultimately managed to strike back at it hard enough to gain its approval. However, Entei showed no reaction to Pagogo or the Six Heroes's Ancient Poké Balls. When a and a appeared nearby and Entei joined them, the Rising Volt Tacklers came to realize that this Entei wasn't one of the Six Heroes, but a wild Pokémon separate from them. Later, Briar contacted the Rising Volt Tacklers and informed them about sightings of within Area Zero.
Gouging Fire properly debuted in HZ081, where it appeared before Liko, Roy, Dot, Friede, and Briar after sensing Pagogo. Despite its appearance initially leaving the group wondering whether if it actually was the Entei of the Six Heroes, Pagogo still resonated with it, clearing their doubts away. Gouging Fire reunited with its teammates and showed interest in joining them, but only after testing the strength of Liko and her friends, which required them to retrieve Lucius's old belt from within its fur. The Paradox Pokémon had the advantage for most of the battle, mainly due to it being a mostly unknown species, forcing the Rising Volt Tacklers to figure out and learn about the nature of its types, moves, and Ability. Eventually, Dot managed to find a way to lure Gouging Fire into a river in order to overcome its natural resistance to moves and allow Captain Pikachu to deal massive damage, which gave the opportunity to grab the belt and pass Gouging Fire's test. Now under Liko's care, the five heroes, alongside Pagogo, summoned the remaining hero: the Black Rayquaza.
In HZ084, Pagogo summoned Gouging Fire from its Poké Ball to save the Rising Volt Tacklers from a giant boulder rolling towards them on their way up Kumuri Mountain.
