## History

Lucario is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon and the evolved form of Riolu. A Pokémon with a hardened obsession with honing their bodies, they are quite rare and usually live on mountains far away from humans. Despite this loner mentality, a Lucario can be trained to become a loyal friend once caught, with a natural sense of justice to boot. They are able to manipulate an energy named Aura, which enables them to sense enemies or prey from afar and create energy projectiles. With enough time and skill, it's even possible for a Lucario to even learn human speech, either direct or telepathic. Some even have the ability to Mega Evolve. One noteworthy Lucario belonged to Sir Aaron, a legendary hero from the kingdom of Rota. Other well-known Lucario trainers include Gym Leaders Maylene and Korrina, as well as Rookie trainer Ash Ketchum, who would develop a similar bond with his Lucario as Sir Aaron did before him.
