Lucas Duncan

**Lucas Duncan** is the main character of the Nuzlocke Series.

## History

Lucas has lived in Pallet Town his entire life. He usually hung out with his friends Gary Oak and Carl. He lives with his mother, his father isn't in the picture. Unlike most people, Lucas doesn't want to go on a journey as Pokémon are constantly killed and are only used by trainers, something he is not a fan off. Another reason why he doesn't want to leave is because he doesn't want to be like his dad. He never had a girlfriend.

### A Journey Worth Taking

Together with Gary, Lucas starts his journey. He was asked to do so by Professor Oak, so the two of them could eventually defeat Lance. He chose Niall the Charmander as his starter and managed to defeat Gary in their first battle. After travelling through Route 1, and witnessing death first-hand, he returned to Pallet Town and received a Pokédex from the professor.

#### *Becoming a special police unit*

After almost losing Niall to a poison, Lucas became extremely careful with his team. Despite this, he still suffered casualties. The first was Koene, who died outside of Pewter City. In Koene's honor, Lucas and his team faced off against Gym Leader Brock and managed to win, with Balboa taking out both of Brock's Pokémon. After this, the police stormed in to arrest Brock.

Officer Jenny told Lucas he were to become a special police unit within the Kanto Police Force. Professor Oak had called ahead and told Jenny that Lucas was thé person to take down Lance, as he knew him. Gary was simply a distraction. Lucas accepted the position, which ment the police would keep an eye out for them in every city and town he and his team were.

After the gym, Lucas got even more careful and continued with the grinding, while his team complained, saying they had enough. After almost losing Wally, Lucas agreed and promised to grind a bit less.

#### *First encounter with Team Rocket*

Inside Mt. Moon, Lucas walked into a group of Team Rocket grunts. He battled several grunts but his team was strong enough to defeat them. Before defeating a Grunt's Zubat, a giant group of Zubat flew by, making a lot of noise. One of these Zubat's ended up killing the Grunt's Zubat, winning Lucas the battle.

After capturing Marit, a higher ranked grunt named Daryl came in, offering to give Lucas a high position within Team Rocket, but Lucas refused. The battle that followed was won by Lucas, causing the Team Rocket members to leave the mountain. Before he left, he won the rights to a Dome Fossil.

#### *Gary's betrayal*

Lucas met Gary again outside of Cerulean City, but he seemed different. Lucas tried to joke with him, but Gary didn't respond and didn't care for the battle or his Pokémon. After winning the battle, Lucas took on the Nugget Bridge challenge to figure out what happened to Gary.

After defeating the Nugget Bridge himself, Lucas faced off against a Team Rocket recruiter, who's Ekans manage to fally injure Marit. Marit's death caused Lucas to stay up all night in despair. Wanting to battle Misty, Lucas made his way north, but found a fake Misty. Later that night, he and Wally had a heart-to-heart talk, stating that Marit's death was neither's fault.

Lucas met Bill, who turned himself into a Clefairy by accident. After helping him transform back, Lucas received a ticket to the S.S. Anne. After meeting Bill, Lucas decided to challenge Misty, who offered to take him on a date if he'd stop his journey. While he daydreamed about having a girlfriend, Niall slashed his leg, stating that was 'for even considering dropping us'. When Lucas admitted he never had a girlfriend, the entire room started to laugh.

#### *Battling Misty*

With the help of Bill, Staryu was no problem. Starmie proved to be more powerful. While Bill managed to weaken it and put it to sleep, Starmie managed to beat it down until he couldn't stand anymore. Wally decided to jump in and managed to defeat Misty. During Misty's arrest, she mocked Lucas once again for being single, while Lucas made a smart comment back, angering the former gym leader.

## Personality

Lucas is a bit closed off. He can be very direct, which never made him populair. Back in Pallet Town, he was very anti-killing, but when Niall explained that, in some Pokémon battles, killing was necessary. Lucas didn't feel comfortable with it at all, but allowed Niall to do so.
