Ronan

He is a major character in *A Lycanroc's Journey*. He is one of Roxie's teammates and later, her mentor.

## **Physical Appearance**

He is a large Zeraora with yellow and black fur and a tall, deceptively lean frame; he is also very muscular. He has light blue eyes, a matching head crest and whiskers, and matching accents on his chest and paws. His nose and claws are white while the insides of his large ears have small light orange accents.

## **Known Moves**

### **Electric-type**

**Plasma Fists:** The user attacks with electrically charged fists. This move changes Normal-type moves to Electric-type moves. Ronan's eyes, claws, and blue accents glow pale blue, and his head crest extends into a horn. His fists become surrounded in light blue electricity. He then slams his fists onto the ground, sending a stream of light blue electricity through the ground and towards the opponent.

**Thunderbolt:** The user attacks the target with a strong electric blast. This may also paralyze the target. Ronan releases a powerful bolt of light blue electricity from his body at the opponent. This will occasionally paralyze the opponent.

**Thunder Punch:** The target is punched with an electrified fist. This may also paralyze the target. Ronan's fist becomes engulfed in light blue electricity and he punches the opponent with it. This will occasionally paralyze the opponent.

### **Fighting-type**

**Low Kick:** A powerful low kick that makes the target fall over. The heavier the target, the greater the move's power. Ronan ducks down and swings one of his legs around, tripping the opponent.

## **Personality**

Ronan is a complete foil to Roxie; he is usually very mature, modest, calm, collected, stoic, level-headed, kind, compassionate, and selfless, while Roxie is more of a bully, childish, reckless, hot-headed, sensitive, selfish, greedy, cocky, and prone to emotional bouts, especially anger. Ronan often keeps to himself, but also enjoys hanging out with his teammates. He still shows normal emotions in certain situations and rarely gets angry or impatient with people. He is also not above showing a happier side and will at times mess around. He is revealed to enjoy teaching younger Pokémon; this is shown when he decides to take up the role of Roxie's mentor in Ashla's absence.

He cares deeply about his family and friends, willing to risk his life for their safety. He will only fight when necessary and is shown to have a great dislike for drama, as he will often quell fights between his teammates or himself and someone else; when this fails, he walks away. However, Ronan will become angered if pushed far enough, shown as when Hunter managed to provoke him into a fight and quickly lost. He is mentally strong and, according to Fiona, "too smart to be tricked or manipulated". He is also no pushover, capable of following through with his word, and will also defend those incapable of defending themselves. In battle, he usually prefers to fight fairly, but also learns that it's good to sometimes resort to trickery depending on the kind of opponent.

He has a love of and affinity for music, as he has been seen playing brass instruments on multiple occasions. His favorite is the trombone, which he picked up at a young age.

## **Skills and Abilities**

* **Fighter:** Ronan is an excellent fighter like his parents; he inherited his Fighting-typing from his mother, who for years was the only person he couldn't beat. He prefers planning and strategy rather than brute strength, refusing to attack head-on unless necessary.

## **Type Effectiveness**

As an Electric/Fighting-type, Ronan is weak against, Fairy, Ground, and Psychic-type attacks. Due to his Volt Absorb Ability, he is immune to Electric-type attacks. He is resistant to Bug, Dark, Rock and Steel-type attacks. His primary type is super-effective against Flying and Water-type Pokémon, while his secondary type is super-effective against Dark, Ice, Normal, Rock, and Steel-type Pokémon.
