Lucius (Trials of Sarah - Pokemon Horizons)

Lucius (aka the Ancient Adventurer) is a recurring character in the upcoming *Trials of Sarah: Pokémon Horizons:* He is the main reason Roy wanted to become a Trainer, and the truth behind his legend serves as one of his motivations.

## History

### Pre-Series

A hundred years ago, Lucius traveled with the Black Rayquaza and five Pokémon he encountered throughout the various regions he traveled. All of them were kept within the Ancient Pokeballs (which were much more detailed in shades of brown and light golden with designs on it). Collectively, they are known as the ***Six Heroes.*** In an as-yet-unexplained way, Lucius's Poké Balls have been scattered around the world.

They were refereed as one whom "heal wounds", "race through the sky", "cross the seas", "break down walls" and "gallop across the land".

Marena was actually a traveling companion and former wife to Lucius and knew all of his pokemon and has secretly been keeping watch over them since he passed away in honor of her own friend and husband and was happy to find them slowly being in the care of Liko and her new charge - a small piece of her old husband remaining.

### PH011 and PH012

Sarah, Roy and Liko entered an area ravaged by Wildfire and Roy discovered another Ancient Pokeball and tried to climb up to go get it only to realize it was attached to a huge Arboliva whom was aggressive since it believed they were there to cause more damage but as it tries to regain its composure and renew its attack, Wooper comes in and communicates to it that Mollie had healed it and Virizion and Zygarde appear reassuring the guardian pokemon they meant no harm.

Along with seeing Sarah had caught the two Legendary Pokemon, this causes Arboliva to understand that they had no harmful intentions and it extends its arm to her as a sign of thanks. As the small Pokémon leave, Arboliva appears to understand why they came and picks up Sarah, Liko and Roy, showing the devastation wrought to its forest as it cries out in sorrow.

When the group aids in reviving the forest,, Liko's pendent and Sarah and Race's necklaces glow again and Terapagos appears, generating a barrier around Sarah, Race, Liko and Roy. Sarah, Race and Liko see a silhouette of something that tells her to "find the world's" before the fog dissipates and the Pokémon returned to their amulet form. Likewise, Arboliva returned into its ancient Poké Ball and the group is unable to open it. Friede tells them to take care of it, as it's a sign that Arboliva approves of their actions and came into Liko's care.

#### PH022

During searching Galar Mines for the report of Black Rayquaza inside, Friede, Cap, Charizard, Liko, Roy and their pokemon entered the mine but got separated leading to Sarah, Race, Roy and Liko finding miners sapped of their energy and strength before Zirc and Onia appear to attack them. Cap appears and protects Liko and Roy before a Galarian Moltres appeared radiating intense anger before it swiftly defeated Zirc's Rhydon and Onia's Golduck forcing them to retreat.

Galarian Moltres used its Fiery Wrath to immobilize Cap, Liko, Roy and the pokemon only leaving Sarah and Race unaffected but Liko, Roy, Fuecoco and Sprigatito were able to fight against it and regain their movements.

Liko's Hatenna and Sarah both sensed the anger coming from Moltres and Hatenna lightly cried while Cap attempted to battle against it and was badly hurt. Roy, Liko and their pokemon retreated with an injured Cap through and out of the mine but left Sarah, Silvally, Star, Friede and Charizard behind they were battling Amethio and Ceruledge before Galarian Moltres appeared and the mine caved in.

### PHo23

With Cap recovered, Roy and Liko return to the Mine and find Friede unharmed. Together they re-enter the area where Galarian Moltres was and battling against Silvally and Star and it appears again to battle against them. Working together they hold their ground but thanks to Sarah reading Moltres' emotions and memories and telling her about her partners passing and wanting to become its new partner and family member and Terapagos appearing once more, showing them the memory of Lucius and Moltres about finding 'Paradise' Moltres calms now returned to the Ancient Pokeball and becomes the one in Sarah's care and all three Terapagos stays in its Normal Form and Terastal Forms.

### PHZ024

Diana revealed that she found a diary in her childhood with memories of Lucius's adventures. She also revealed that Rakua is the name of the paradise that Lucius was looking for and that at some point Terapagos (the one in Liko's possession) was with Lucius on this journey. Marena reveals her connected to Lucius, being his former wife but due to her enchantment she lived on while Lucius peacefully passed away, shocking everyone greatly. Marena then scattered the six Ancient Pokeballs and released the pokemon across the world to keep them safe while she kept watch over them with her Animus Enchantment map showing their locations.

### HZ026

Diana showed Liko a photograph of Lucius.
