- This section, or a part of it, has been transcluded from Lucian; any changes involving it should be made there instead. /
Lucian is an elegant man, who has blue hair and blue-tinted glasses. He wears a red suit, with a white handkerchief in his pocket, over his black collared shirt, and has black shoes.
Personality[]
As a bookish type, Lucian prides himself of his knowledge and reputation. He is very intelligent and observant, doing his best to uphold his high esteemed power. Even with his mastery of the mind, Lucian doesn't belittle people, in fact he's fairly respectful above anything.
Etymology[]
The name Lucian may come from name "lux" (Latin for light), "illusion," "hallucination," or possibly "lucid dream" (a dream in which the person experiencing it is aware that they're dreaming and have some measure of control over what happens in the dream).
His Japanese name, Goyō, may come from 陽 (yō, Japanese for yang (the positive, light-associated side of yin and yang)). Following the plant-based naming of most characters, it may also include 五葉松 (goyōmatsu, the Japanese name for the five-needle pine tree).
Biography[]
Lucian had a brief battle against a Trainer, using his Girafarig against a Scizor, and won that battle.[1]
Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl[]
Lucian was sitting by a table when the heroes saw his fight on TV. The heroes were impressed, but Lucian commented he still had a lot of training to do. The heroes then realized that was the man from the TV, whereas Lucian explained he was a member of the Elite Four, alongside Bertha, Aaron and Flint. He made it clear that after defeating the Elite Four, one can challenge the Champion, Cynthia. Dawn's Buizel was interested in this, to which Lucian complied, asking of Ash (who also wanted a battle) to wait his turn first. Lucian sent Bronzong, who protected itself with Iron Defense before using Flash Cannon and Gyro Ball to defeat Buizel. Lucian nevertheless apologized for a reckless attack, and advised Dawn to get Buizel healed.
Lucian later visited the group. Seeing Buizel feeling down, he believed it had to accept its defeat to move on. As Team Rocket appeared, they snatched Buizel, but instead of rescuing it, Lucian told the heroes to stop, for this would be an opportunity for Buizel to find itself. Buizel struggled to free itself with Sonic Boom, and with Dawn's encouragement, it freed itself. Lucian commanded Buizel to use Water Gun and Sonic Boom, telling Dawn she could find a new battle style for Buizel to earn its trust. After Buizel blasted Team Rocket away, Dawn had a rematch with Lucian. Buizel managed to execute Dawn's commands correctly, to which Lucian stopped the battle, seeing the result was fulfilled, and they did not need to continue the battle. Before leaving, Lucian bid farewell, as he wished to see the heroes progress in fulfilling their goals.[1]
Lucian also appeared in the ending scene of the 13th Pokémon movie, along with his Bronzong.[2]
Lucian challenged Cynthia to a battle, which the heroes saw on a TV broadcast. Lucian had Bronzong use Flash Cannon, but Cynthia's Garchomp endured the attack and retaliated with Giga Impact, defeating it.[3] When the heroes encountered Aaron, Officer Jenny reminded them of Elite Four Lucian, who specialized in Psychic-type Pokémon. The heroes also remembered their encounter with Lucian before speaking with Aaron.[4] When the heroes encountered Bertha, Brock accidentally revealed her secret that she's the Elite Four member, to which the heroes compared her strength to Lucian and the other Elite Four members.[5]
