===Games===
[[Image:AshVsRoark.jpg|thumb|left|Ash in his Gym Battle with Roark.]]Roark first appeared in the episode ''Shapes of Things to Come'' where both [[Paul]] and [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] show up at his Gym for a battle. Since Paul was the first to show up he was able to battle Roark first.
 
 
Roark, using a team of [[Geodude]], [[Onix]] and [[Cranidos]] battled Paul's team of [[Azumarill]], [[Chimchar]] and [[Elekid]]. Roark's strong abilities were shown as he was able to defeat two of Paul's Pokémon, though his Cranidos was unable to withstand Elekid's power leaving Paul the victor.
 
 
In the next episode ''A Gruff Act to Follow'', Ash battled Roark the day after Paul's battle. Using a team of Heracross, Turtwig, and Charizard, Ash battled his way through Roark's team. In the end though, Ash was defeated by Roark and would need to challenge him again.
 
 
In ''O'er the Rampardos we Watched'', Ash would have a rematch with Roark using the same Pokémon. Roark's newly evolved [[Rampardos]] proved to be difficult but was defeated by Turtwig. With Roark's defeat, Ash had earned his Coal Badge.
 
 
==In the manga==
 
[[File:Little roark.png|thumb|150px|right|Roark in the manga.]]He battled against Platinum and lost. He is also mentioned by Byron in the manga.
 
 
== Pokémon ==
 
Roark's Pokémon are the same in both the anime and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] with the exception of his Rampardos, which evolved from a Cranidos in the anime.
