Lazuli's Gliscor

**Lazuli's Gliscor** (Japanese: **ラズリのグライオン** *Razuri's Glion*) is the eighth Pokémon that Lazuli was shown to possess, and one of the few she was shown capturing.

## **New Era**

### **Sinnoh**

#### **As a Wild Pokémon**

Gliscor was previously the leader of a large gang of Gligar that lived in the wilderness of the Sinnoh region. Due to a strong wind, Gliscor, along with the Gligar, were swept into Solaceon Town. Due to the strong wind, they couldn't return to the forest and started causing trouble. Shortly thereafter, Dwayne arrived in the city, and while he was preparing a picnic for himself and his Pokémon, Gliscor sweeps in and steals his food. Dwayne has Turtwig try an Energy Ball against the leader, but it misses its target. Dwayne attempts a Razor Leaf, though the Gligar swiftly evade. For safety, all of the Pokémon are recalled into their Poké Balls, apart from Turtwig.

Just then, an Ice Beam shoots towards Gliscor, which sends it flying. Dwayne looks across and sees that it came from Lazuli and her Weavile. Lazuli then sends out her Murkrow, which sends all of the Gligar fleeing. A few attempt to attack Murkrow, but it easily dodges. A strong wind starts, and Gliscor orders the group of Gligar to leave. However, while almost all leave, a single Gligar is too busy eating an apple to notice. After quickly scoffing down the apple and making a face at Dwayne, he tries to take off but the attempt is misjudged and it falls onto Dwayne. After getting up, Gligar finds himself confronted by the angry stare of Turtwig, and quickly leaves to rejoin his group.

Lazuli recalls her Pokémon, and mentions that Gliscor lives up to its reputation. Dwayne asks Lazuli if she's there to catch the Gliscor, but Lazuli is apathetic as usual and tells him to keep out of her way before she walks off. Just then, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy arrive. It turns out that this isn't the first time people's food has been stolen. At the local Pokémon Center, which has a garden on the roof filled with Bug and Flying-type Pokémon, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy tell Dwayne that the Gliscor and Gligar have stolen countless amounts of food from the town. After stripping the town bare of its growing fruit and vegetables, they're now stealing the food out of people's hands. Dwayne is confused, as Gliscor and Gligar are known for living in the forest, not in the city. It was revealed that one night, a very powerful storm blew Gliscor into the city. The same winds, caused by the numerous skyscrapers in the city, prevented Gliscor leaving and as a result, Gliscor started to attract the Gligar from neighboring areas with sound waves magnified by the buildings. Though numerous attempts to capture the Pokémon have failed, Officer Jenny has a new plan which involves using Gligar's favorite fruit as bait, and Dwayne pledges his support.

Meanwhile, Gliscor and the Gligar have taken refuge in an abandoned warehouse. Suddenly, a tub of fruit shoots through the window. All the Gligar start to tuck in, but then they all grow suspicious and, along with Gliscor, look through the window to see a truck carrying fruit driving down the road. They all give chase, except for the one that fell on Dwayne earlier. After a few extra bites, it joins the chase. Officer Jenny drives the truck in an attempt to lure the Pokémon into a strong wind current, which should blow them out of the city and return them to the forest. However, the plan is ruined when the truck's tires pop due to a sharp stick in the road, causing Jenny to lose control. The clumsy Gligar flies past the truck and almost gets run over by the truck, but Dwayne runs to save it, and Gligar ends up landing on him just like earlier. Meanwhile, Gliscor and the other Gligar obviously aren't too happy about the attempted capture and all use X-Scissor on the truck, which causes the truck to crash, and the road is blocked by the debris. This causes the wind direction to change, and Gliscor and the Gligar help themselves to the fruit on the truck. All of this has been observed by Lazuli.

Gliscor and Gligar are soon wrecking havoc on the city, and with the road blocked the same plan cannot be reattempted. Just then, Dwayne comes up with an idea; if they can't send Gliscor and the Gligar into a wind current, then they will produce one using a Gust from the Pokémon at the Center. Dwayne decides to talk to Gliscor to let it know they just want to help. In an alley, the Gliscor and Gligar arrive. They are quickly on the run, when suddenly an Ice Beam hits. The attacker is revealed to be Lazuli's Weavile, who uses another Ice Beam and freezes all the Gligar solid. As Lazuli orders a Blizzard, Gliscor responds with a Sandstorm, stopping the attack and melting the ice while the numerous Pokémon make a getaway. However, the Gligar Dwayne saved is once again left behind, and is greeted by Dwayne. It pulls its now trademark strange face, but then starts to follow its group, and is itself followed by Dwayne.

In a nearby alley, Lazuli confronts Gliscor and sends out Electabuzz to partner Weavile. She orders an Ice Beam/Swift combo, but there are so many Gligar flying about neither can target. Lazuli yells at her Pokémon to focus, and orders a Brick Break from Electabuzz which hits several Gligar. Gliscor isn't happy about seeing its group attacked and uses X-Scissor on Electabuzz, which sends the Electric-type flying into Weavile and Lauzli. Dwayne arrives along with the Gligar he'd now befriended. Dwayne tells Gliscor they can help it return to the wild, but before it can answer, it is hit by Lazuli's Ice Beam/Swift combo, sending it crashing to the ground. Lazuli then throws a Poké Ball, and successfully catches the Gliscor. As usual, Lazuli scans Gliscor with her Pokédex and sees that it is quite strong and decides to keep it. Dwayne asks Lazuli about all the Gligar it was leading, but Lazuli doesn't care, but Dwayne says the Gligar could rampage around without its leader, and the town would pay the price, but Lazuli coldly states that it wasn't none of her concern. The Gligar known to Dwayne makes a run at Lazuli, but Electabuzz hits it with a Brick Break, sending it flying. Recalling her Pokémon to their Poké Balls, Lazuli criticizes Dwayne and leaves.

#### **With Lazuli**

Sometime later, Lazuli chose Gliscor to battle against Dwayne's Gligar, which used to be a member of Gliscor's gang. The battle begins and Dwayne tells Gligar to use X-Scissor, however, Gliscor pounds back with Knock Off. Gligar begins to cry on the ground, when Dwayne tells him to try Sand-Attack. Gligar gets up and starts to throw sand in Gliscor's face, but the Fang Scorp Pokémon is unaffected by the attack. Lazuli then commands Gliscor to use Guillotine, and Dwayne tells Gligar to counter with Steel Wing, but it's no good as Gliscor scores a direct hit and slams Gligar into the ground, knocking it out.

Gliscor was later seen relaxing along with Lazuli's other Pokémon when her Torterra was being cared for at a Pokémon Center, and later watched the battle between Dwayne's Grotle and Lazuli's Honchkrow. Gliscor appeared again shortly after Lazuli's elimination from the Lily of the Valley Conference, when he, and along with the other Pokémon left behind, were informed of her loss by Rollins.

## **Personality and Characteristics**

Gliscor is a very mischievous and rebellious Pokémon, seen as when he and his gang of Gligar were trapped in a city due to the strong wind currents, Gliscor opted to start causing trouble within the city by stealing from others and attacking anyone that attempted to stop them. Even when facing off against Trainers who proved to be a match against him, Gliscor refused to back down, attacking them head-on without hesitation, showing both courage and recklessness.

After his capture at the hands of Lazuli, Gliscor quickly grew comfortable with Lazuli's harsh and rather brutal atmosphere, but nevertheless, Gliscor remained one of Lazuli's most calm and level-headed Pokémon, and often enjoyed relaxing and eating fruits whenever not engaged in battle. Even when battling against a Gligar that belonged to his former group, Gliscor showed no mercy for his former teammate, attacking Gligar with all of his power and effort.
