Bronze

**Bronze Tercano,** or **Bronze,** is the protagonist of Brick Bronze, and a supporting character in many other stories of the Legends Canon.

## Personality

Bronze is the most intelligent of all the Pokedex Holders, more so even than Moon, and typically outsmarts opponents with what he calls 'logic.' He does not give his Pokémon nicknames, as he believes they are unnecessary and childish. Despite his intellectual nature, he is quite skilled at Pokémon battles, and oftentimes fails to respect his foes for their mental failings. He can fly into rages when evil is afoot, as shown at the Battle of the Demon's Tomb, where he ran at the Mbelekoro with no plan whatsoever.

Bronze's special skill, as described by Professor Samuel Oak and Jonathan Rowell Cypress, is his immense intellectual capacity and his penchant for reading copious amounts of books. Thus, his title is the **Archivist.**

He is mostly aloof around those he considers to be immature or of lower mental prowess than him, and as such, makes few friends. He is a strict Rorian nationalist, and once remarked that he has little to no understanding of woman. Samuel Oak has diagnosed him with high-functioning autism and ADD, although Bronze himself it is only his "Mentat" training that he received from his parents.

## History

### Legends of Arceus

At a unknown point in time before the events of Brick Bronze, Bronze was seen reading the *Legends of Arceus,* and then remarking that it was a "wonderful story."

### Brick Bronze

Bronze makes his first debut in Brick Bronze, where he receives his first owned Pokémon and Pokedex from Jonathan Rowell Cypress in Mitis Town. His motivations for completing the Rorian Gym Battle Challenge and emerging as Champion from the Rorian League were at first to make a political platform in order to restore Hisuian sovereignty, and to make Roria a world superpower.

Cypress told Bronze that his parents had joined Team Eclipse, which Bronze was suspicious of. Bronze continues onward to Chesema Town, where his Bronze Brick received from his parents is stolen by Linda, a member of Team Eclipse. He obtains a Logarian dagger from her relic shop, and then successfully finds Linda and beats her in a Pokémon battle in Gale Forest.

In Silvent City, Bronze and Jake witness a rally for Team Eclipse given by Emrett. After hearing Team Eclipse's beliefs, Bronze dismisses then as folly. He then obtains a Electabuzz from a skirmish in a garden path, which helps him successfully beat Gym Leader Gabe, a affair which Bronze thoroughly disliked.

Bronze takes the Rorian Express Tram to Brimber City, where he then encounters Eclipse Admin Henry, and successfully prevents the awakening of Groudon with the aid of Gym Leader Sebastian. Receiving a badge for his efforts, Bronze travels to Rosecove City. Along the way, he encounters the Hoenn Elite Four Member Drake, who reveals that he has been sensing the rise of a evil presence in the world for the past twenty years.

In Rosecove, Bronze defeats Gym Leader Quentin. Sometime later, in response to strange activity at the Rosecove Lighthouse, Bronze helps prevent Eclipse Admin Eric from capturing Kyogre. He befriends Tessa Woodhall, who, with permission from her grandfather, joins Bronze and Jake on their journey.

In Cragonos Mountain, Bronze, Tess, and Jake stop a small cell of Team Rocket members from blowing off part of the mountain. They make their way to Anthien City, where Bronze sees the Prison Bottle in Anthien Museum. Soon after, he defeats Gym Leader Stephan.

Team Eclipse attacked Anthein City in the Eclipse Gunship, resulting in the Battle of Anthien City. Bronze then witnessed the near defeat of Association forces, but was sent back both in Time and Space by Dialga and Palkia to deactivate a explosive placed around Anthien City's power core, thus salvaging a half-victory as the Eclipse forces fled from the military.
