What is your prefered combination of four moves learnable by Riolu or Lucario?

Well, my Black Lucario knows Bone Rush, Aura Sphere, Close combat and Dragon Pulse.

Level 100 Lucario on my team in all my games that it can be in. Lvl 49 Riolu in my PC box on Pokemon Black.

Cosmotone8 July 31st, 2012 11:28 AM

Your application has been accepted, welcome to the club Nineray!

EDIT: My laptop is finally fixed! I'll try to update everything in the next few days, and if not, everything will be updated by next week.

I also added a "Google Document" for our club's story, which can be read by anyone. It has the entire story so far for easier access, that way members don't have to browse through the pages to read the entire story.

Taposa August 5th, 2012 6:09 AM

Welcome new people! Did anything changed in the club?

Avishka August 14th, 2012 3:57 AM

at last someone posted :P :P
New Topic :
Was Lucario/Riolu what you expected it to be in the games?

I will answer it later

Fenrir Reki August 14th, 2012 6:08 AM

Was Lucario/Riolu what you expected it to be in the games?
For the most part yes. I find Lucario to be very useful in lots of battles, and I tend to see him used in several teams my friends have.


@Taposa
No, there has been no significant changes. The only latest change was the google document I added that has the entire club's story compiled, so that anyone can view it without browsing through the many pages of this thread. I still have to design a new banner because our current one is very old.

Nineray August 17th, 2012 9:31 PM

before diamond and pearl came out everywhere i thought it was a legendary It's powerful but its steel type moves aren't as good as say Aggron because of the loss of iron tail as a tm. Riolu was perfect

Activeness: If my attention span permits.

How was Rukario

Fine, tbh. I make my team generally on looks, so having him (her, actually) was amazing.

Fenrir Reki August 18th, 2012 1:48 PM

Welcome to the club droomph!

I can't find a Lucario PMD sprite that is by itself, so i'll update your sprite later to be a PMD one.

I'll post the next part of the club story sometime this week (unless someone else wants to contribute first), and just a little heads up for everyone, i'm going to be busy this year, so if I become inactive at times it's because of heavy school work and other things.


Also, if anyone spots something wrong with the club's story on the google document, let me know so I can fix it. I haven't read it lately, but if there is anything vandalized, please let me know.

Squirrel August 24th, 2012 12:03 PM

Was Lucario/Riolu what you expected it to be in the games?
No, it's much worse tbh. xD I don't like using Lucario at all, but I do love Lucario. It's not a Pokémon I want to use, but it's a Pokémon that I love for the feel and mystery it has to it. It's presented as such a noble and powerful Pokémon, capable of doing incredible things, so this is why I love it. Riolu on the other hand I've never actually used so I can't really answer for it, but I know it looks absolutely adorable following you in HG n.n

Here you go. :)
Last time I used Lucario was in DPPt because I had no idea that you could find one in Challenger's Cave. xD But I remember that it pretty much swept through the battle tower alongside my Empoleon and Sceptile. Ah, good times. I will definetly be catching one in BW2, since it is actually available in the game :D

Fenrir Reki August 24th, 2012 8:08 PM

I decided to add on to the club's story, so here is the next part:

Recap

We decided to walk across the bridge, and as we were halfway there, the bridge started to sway, and then the ropes behind us started to detach.

We both turned around and saw the bridge starting to fall.

"Don't just stand there, run!" Grovyle shouted as we ran towards the other side. I was behind Grovyle, and it was a small bridge, so it was difficult to get ahead of him.

Then suddenly, one of the wooden planks broke and I lost my balance, falling and hanging on to one of the broken ropes. Grovyle made it safely to the other side, but he turned around and saw me hanging on the rope.

He ran towards the bridge and tried to pull the rope in, but another earthquake kicked in, and the cliffside holding the other side of the bridge crumbled, and I fell into the valley below.

I could faintly hear Grovyle's voice as I was falling, saying, "I'll try to look for you and the others, don't die on me now!"

As I crashed through a few trees sticking out of the mountain, I eventually hit the water. My head ached, and I started to lose focus...

I tried to swim up, but the impact made me lose my strength, and it felt like something was pulling me under... I couldn't fight it.

Then, silence was the only thing that filled my mind.

----------
I found myself surrounded in a vast white room. It felt so... empty. I looked around to see if anyone was there, and to my surprise, I saw a figure in the distance.

"Hello? Who's there?" I shouted, cautiously approaching the distorted figure.

As I drew closer, the figure started shining brilliantly, and I had to shut my eyes to prevent myself from being blinded by light.

I started to open my eyes a little, and the figure became more clear to me as the light faded.

"Mew? Is that you?" I was surprised to see Mew, but as I took a step closer, Mew fell to the ground and shattered into many small glass pieces.

"W... What's going on?"

I tried to back away, but I felt something behind me, and as I turned around, a Rayquaza, which had an evil aura surrounding it attacked me. As I fled, stairs started to appear in front of me, along with a bridge leading to an island of some sort. I ran as fast as I could, trying to prevent myself from being killed, and as I crossed the bridge and approached the island, I once again saw Mew in front of me, who turned around and disappeared, along with the solid land below me. I then ended up falling in a violent river that I could not swim against, nor save myself due to the lack of land, branches, or anything else that could save me at that very moment. Then, I could hear a loud sound of a waterfall in front of me, and before I knew it, I flew off the river, straight down the waterfall into the lake below. I felt that same familiar feeling as before... I kept trying to swim upwards, but I couldn't. It's almost as if something was holding me back, or chaining me to the depths of the lake. I turned around to see what was restraining me, but nothing was there, and as I tried swimming upwards, I only sank deeper...

"Silly. You're drowning, don't you know that?" I heard Mew's voice again, and before I could respond, I abruptly woke up from my strange dream on the side of the river, cold and bruised from the fall.

I glanced at my surroundings to see a waterfall behind me and a lake with aquatic Pokemon dwelling in it. I could hear the natural Pokemon wildlife around me, and as I looked upwards, I could see the mountains and the destroyed bridge overhead. That's when I remembered what previously happened, I fell from the bridge and somehow ended up on the side of the river. I don't recall ever swimming back up when I hit the water... That's right! I lost consciousness when I did, and at that same moment, that strange dream started... But what does it mean? I can't be thinking about that now, I have to find everyone!

I tried walking, but my legs felt numb, and I was tired. I wanted to rest, but I knew my main priority was to regroup with the others. I slowly walked towards a path that led back up to the mountains, and as I did, I saw Grovyle on the side of the road. I quickly ran up to him, despite my legs being so numb, and I realized that he was badly injured.

"Grovyle! Wake up! What's wrong? What happened to you?"

Grovyle opened his eyes and slowly stood up, but from his injuries, it was obvious that he would not be able to move for a while.

"I... was ambushed."

"By who? Did you find Takashi and Drake?"

"I found them, they are in the cave on the other side of the river. I tried following them, but a group of Pokemon attacked me. Before I tried to fight back, but there was too many of them, and I was knocked out in the end."

"At least you're not dead."

"The same goes for you, falling off a bridge like that and into a small lake..."

"Just stay here and rest for now, i'll go find them."

"No, I can't stay here. I must go with you. Their lives might be in danger, and just because i'm like this, it doesn't mean I can't fight. It's just a little scratch..."

Grovyle regained his balance and took out a small spray from a pouch he carried around. He then sprayed his wounds and placed the bottle back in his bag.

"What was that?"

"It's called a potion. It can heal your wounds, and can save your life if you are ever in danger. It's the only one I have."

"Will you be able to move?"

"Yes, but it takes a few minutes for me to recover my strength."

"In that case we can wait a few minutes. Anyways, what happened after I fell?"

"After you fell, I tried finding a route to get down the mountain to try and find you, and I eventually saw Takashi and Drake in the distance, who I followed down the mountain path. They were far ahead of me, even as I was running, but before I could catch up to them in the cave, I was attacked. I think it might be a trap, so we should be cautious."

"I suppose so..."

"By the way, what about you? You seemed to have a tough time too surviving a fall like that..."

"I really don't know. The moment I hit the water I blanked out and had this strange dream... It's really hard to explain, so don't bother asking me about it."

"I'll just save that for later then when we aren't in a place like this."

"Yeah, that's a better idea."

Grovyle seemed better now, and I started to feel my legs again. So we ran across the river towards the entrance of the cave.

"Remember, be cautious. We don't know what's in there, and we have to make sure Takashi and Drake are safe."

We entered the cave, being as alert as possible, searching for anything suspicious and looking for our lost partners.

-----

I'll try to update the main post by next week, and I will include new sprites, a new banner, and update the club's story on google documents.

Thanks for the sprite Cosmotone8! ;)

Cosmotone8 August 26th, 2012 10:26 AM

No problem :)
Nice job with the story. I will try and add the next part when I get time....Just got to do a bit of catching up on the Google doc first. :)

Avishka August 27th, 2012 3:52 AM

Was Lucario/Riolu what you expected it to be in the games?
Was Lucario/Riolu what you expected it to be in the games?

Much more than I expected.

Both Riolu and Lucario are really strong. When I was training my Riolu in my Diamond version, I was surprised at how strong he was, as he could take down Pokemon ten levels higher than itself at one point, and he learned some powerful moves early on. I can tell that Lucario is going to have a good set of moves when I raise him up. I love the movements and cries for both Riolu and Lucario.

droomph August 27th, 2012 8:06 AM

Maybe I'll make a manga of this one day :P I didn't like the story at first but taking a closer look it's pretty good.

Fenrir Reki August 27th, 2012 4:33 PM

I updated the sprites and changed droomph's sprite to the PMD Lucario.

I also updated the main page, and will try to update the news once a week to keep you up-to-date on what is going on. Read the main post for all of the other changes, but I plan on being more active on DeviantArt because it's been a long time since I last logged in, and i've started to draw again lately.

Here is another question for the club, i'll add a trivia question next week!

What move represents Lucario and/or Riolu the most to you?
Aura Sphere represents Lucario the most because I think of it as his signature move. It's also just something that goes along with him well.

For Riolu... i'm not sure. I'll come back to this question later.

Squirrel August 27th, 2012 4:43 PM

What move represents Lucario and/or Riolu the most to you?
Force Palm! I know Aura Sphere is a biggy for them, but for some reason that move reminds me more of Togekiss than anything else. But Force Palm is a move that has always reminded me strongly of the Lucario family (I believe it may have been introduced for their family? I might be wrong!) but it seems like the perfect move for a Physical attacking Lucario. It's power and accuracy are good, then coupled with the decent chance of paralysis, it's a very good move. Something so quick, forceful and focussed seems perfect for Lucario since that pretty much describes the Pokémon's character to a T, so that move definitely seems to me like their signature move :3

What do you guys think though, do you think Force Palm was introduced for the Lucario family? I mean, it was introduced into Gen IV with Lucario being the only family to learn it, and it seems like the perfect move for them, but then Pokémon from previous generations like Breloom and Makuhita were given it too so I'm in doubt D:

Fenrir Reki August 27th, 2012 4:56 PM

I'm not exactly too sure since i'm not familiar with most of the moves able to be learned by almost all Pokemon. However, judging how other Pokemon can learn it, I don't think it was exclusive to Lucario's family, so I would have to say no. I could be wrong but that's just my guess.

Nineray September 9th, 2012 9:37 AM

What move represents Lucario and/or Riolu the most to you?
For Lucario its Bone Rush or Aura Sphere. Bone Rush because umm well i know it was the Cubone lines signature move but well Its because I'll get back to it. Aura Sphere for obvious reasons. For Riolu Force Palm or Copycat.

11wildy September 25th, 2012 4:41 AM

Man, I've been away for way too long! But their signature move for me is Aura Sphere. Both of the Pokemon are focussed on their Aura, thus it would be logical if that would be their representing move. Also, I believe I got a blue aura myself..

Fenrir Reki October 7th, 2012 8:08 PM

Sorry for my absence, i've been occupied with so many other things lately including school.

Anyways, i'll update the google document with the full story in the next few days.

Here is a question for the club:
If you could create a move exclusively for Lucario, what would you name it, what type(s) would it be, and what would it do?

Cosmotone8 October 8th, 2012 4:06 AM

I would probably make something like this:
Aura Shock
Psychic type- Special Move
Power: 70
Accuracy: 95
Description: The user generates a massive shockwave of there aura and attacks with it. This move always paralyzes the foe.

Very cool idea, kinda supports my theory that Lucario should've been Psychic/Fighting too. xD Seems a tad over-powered but Lucario deserves a move like that ;) I'll try think of one!

Name: Radial Cannon
Type: Fighting/Special
PP: 5
Power: 70-300
Accuracy: 90%
Description: The user unleashes a huge cannon of aura at the foe dealing more damage depending on the user's health and must rest on the next turn to regain its energy.

It was inspired by Lucario's final smash move in Brawl... It reminds me of something like a Fighting type Hyper Beam, so that's what I went for in the move. I can imagine Lucario unleashing a huge beam of energy like this, and the hurt = more power thing comes from his ability to deal more damage whilst under pressure/having taken damage. When Lucario's around 5% health, the attack will have 300 power, whereas as full health the attack has 70 power, and so on for the stages in between. It really focusses on the whole aura powers and steely determination associated with Lucario which I hope sums him up pretty well as a Pokémon!

I particularly like this idea for a move, mainly because I can easily see it being used by Lucario often, and even becoming his new signature move.

Aura Shock is interesting too, and it seems like a valuable move since it hits most of the time and always paralyzes. I'm not going to complain about it being overpowered, because Lucario deserves some more powerful moves.

This is true. Based on how powerful Lucario is shown to be and how special it supposedly is, I've always found it weird that it doesn't have a whole punch of powerful signature moves to kick butt with. It's supposed to be this hugely powerful warrior of a Pokémon with immense strength and huge powers of aura, so why doesn't it have the move pool to support this background? It just seems odd to me idk, sort of like they missed a trick here with Lucario? That's the thing that puts me off using this family when I play the games, they just don't tend to live up to the huge hype that surrounded them for so long, it's a real shame :( That's not to say they aren't good though, Lucario is a very strong Pokémon, it should just be stronger in my opinion haha. Anyone agree?

11wildy October 10th, 2012 10:27 PM

How about put SSBB's Aura Storm as an actual move, fighting type, special, 140 power, lowers Sp atk? Like Draco Meteor, but fighting type!

rainerman3 October 12th, 2012 8:36 AM

Hello, sorry I haven't been active recently, because I was busy doing... stuff. Well anyway, here's my move:
Name: Aura Senses
Type: Fighting/Special
PP: 5
Power: -
Accuracy: -
Description: The user focuses and dodges every enemy attack for 3 turns, until a move is used.

I was thinking of a protective move for Lucario and I came up with this. :P
Oh and this is good since then you can use items for 3 turns. So yeah.

11wildy October 14th, 2012 6:08 AM

Although it doesn't have many competitive uses, I like the idea. But I think I would make it so that it would dodge 50% of the moves, until Lucario uses a damaging move. And then 3 turns max. Just another idea though^^

Fenrir Reki October 14th, 2012 7:22 AM

What about if for Aura Senses, his dodge rate increases depending on the amount of health he has remaining? For example, at 100% HP, he dodges 50% of the attacks, then 75% at 50% HP, then 100% at 25% HP or lower. This way it still goes along with his aura powers intensifying as his HP gets lower.

Welcome to the club Lucario 9129!

Well you can:

  • Answer the current topic question which is: "If you could create a move exclusively for Lucario, what would you name it, what type(s) would it be, and what would it do?"
  • Add on to the club's current story. (I have to update the Google document to keep it up-to-date because it's outdated)
  • Ask a different topic question.
  • Discuss about any other Lucario/Riolu related things.
I'm currently looking for other things this club can do for fun other than questions and discussions all the time. We used to have contests, but we haven't had any in a while. However, I don't mind starting another one if everyone in the club wants one and agrees to the kind of contest it is. (Like if it's a drawing contest, etc)

Lucario9129 October 18th, 2012 7:47 AM

Lucario!
 
As far as moves go, I like all the previous ideas! Lol I would love the idea of a Riolu as a starter Poke'mon in the main games. Keep everything about him the same, just offer him as a starter, kind of like what they did with Pikachu at one point exept let him/her be able to evolve. Because if I'm not mistaken Pikachu in Poke'mon Yellow would turn down a Thunderstone! Anyone else like this idea?

I think Riolu would be an interesting starter. He would definitely be more fun to use than your standard fire/water/grass starter type Pokemon. (In my opinion) I haven't played yellow in a long time, so I forgot most of the things about it.

Oh wow, this would be completely over-powered in competitive battling - I love it. xD Lucario would be propelled straight up to ubers with this move, and that's where he belongs! :D I'm not that knowledgeable about Lucario's move pool so the what I'm about to say may be false, but if he had this move he'd be able to get in three consecutive stat boosts before using Aura Senses again to give him three more, and continue like that until he's pumped up beyond even Arceus being able to kill him - that to me sounds insanely cool and very deserving of Lucario! It should be the badass of all Pokémon, it deserves to be. :D

Ooo, I love competitions, let's have one! :D A drawing contest could be fun, I'm getting a drawing tablet soon so it'll be cool to have a chance to try it out! Although people can't usually be bothered to enter them... xD Who here would want to enter a drawing contest? :D

Riolu would be a very cool starter Pokémon, I love this idea :D The only problem is finding two Pokémon to be offered alongside it that wouldn't make the starters unbalanced, which is difficult to say the least haha. I think it's the perfect candidate to be a starter though since it's tough but not too tough, it's very interesting to train/use, the friendship evolution is symbolic of what a starter should be, and it's a very well-known Pokémon so lots of people will use it - in short I think it's a good idea someone go write to Nintendo. xD

11wildy October 20th, 2012 1:35 AM

how about a Fighting, Flying, Ice triangle? I would love to use him as my starter! I even thought about doing a Riolu solo run, but idk.. I love monotyping too much xD

Interesting idea! Do you see Lucario as more of a Fighting type or a Steel type though? Ignoring that Riolu is mono-Fighting type, there's no reason that Lucario can't be classed as Steel for it's main type ;o Personally I'm not actually certain why Lucario has Steel typing in the first place, but I'm not complaining because it makes him 50 times more awesome paha.

I'd rather see him as a fighting/Dragon though, so he can abuse Dragon Pulse even moar!!

Anyways, for everyone who went out to get candy, or even gave away candy, I hope you had a good Halloween! :3


By the way, i'll be working on fixing the layout for the main post. Expect slight changes, a new banner, and an updated DeviantArt page for our club.

(I was going to post this earlier, but I had to help my friend setup decorations and fill bowls with candy. I even went out to get some with a few friends. ;))

Cosmotone8 November 15th, 2012 12:08 PM

I didn't go trick or treating, but I did hand out candy. Tho I only gave out a single piece since we live in the main road xD
I think Lucario should be a psychic steel type tbh, it has more psychic qualities than pysical ones in my mind. It's not very often that you see Lucario actually use punches lol. More often he's finding something with aura.
Awesome pic btw, I have no drawing talent whatsoever, so I could never pull that off.

I agree that Lucario should be psychic, but i'm not sure about steel because I don't see him as a steel type Pokemon. A Psychic/Steel combination would be interesting though, however I always thought Fighting/Psychic would be more suitable for him because of his moves.

Thanks! Well, all you have to do is practice. Everyone has some kind of an art talent, even if you don't realize it or it may not seem like it.

Here is a new topic for the club:
If you could create a special ability that only Lucario or Riolu could learn, what would it be and why?
I'll come back to answer this question. I'll need some time to think of something good. :3

Squirrel November 17th, 2012 4:27 PM

If you could create a special ability that only Lucario or Riolu could learn, what would it be and why?
Oo, this one's a toughie... I think it'd obviously have to draw on his aura powers, but something like the 'damage = power' trait is too obvious... I've never understood why Lucario's a Steel type, so I guess I'll use its ability to get rid of that! I'd have its ability make it so that Lucario's Steel typing only counts when using moves (so STAB still counts for Steel moves, but a Fire attack would do 1x damage since it no longer has the weakness from its Steel typing). This would be a great example of how Lucario can hone its powers to change the world around him and it'd make Lucario quite a lot better in my opinion, so I think it suits him well. As for a name, it'd be called Iron Heart or something rubbish like that. :D

Welcome to the club DragoShock101! No worries, we all have our wild outbursts sometimes. :3

@AlexOzzyCake

That seems like an interesting ability. It would definitely remove Lucario's annoying Fire weakness.

I've been trying to think of a good ability for Lucario, but so far all of my ideas have been stupid. I'll think of something good eventually. D:

DragoShock101 November 25th, 2012 4:47 PM

Are we making up new abilities for the Lucario line, cause I have one.

Steel Bodied
Everytime Lucario is hit with a super effective attack, it's defense increases one level. If hit with a fire typed move, special and physical defense increase by 1 level.

Welcome to the club TheFlufIsHere! Don't worry, you'll fit right in with the rest of the members easily!

@DragoShock101
Assuming Lucario isn't 1 hit KO'ed from the fire attack, and heals up afterwards, it would probably allow him to tank all forms of fire attack eventually, which would be amazing. However, you said that if Lucario is hit with a super effective attack that isn't fire, his Defense goes up by 1, and if he is hit with a fire attack, his Sp. Defense and Defense go up by 1. Does that mean his Defense increases by 2 each time he's hit by a fire attack, or just 1?

TheFlufIsHere November 27th, 2012 4:10 AM

Ability: Wave Heart
 
Well thanks for the warm welcome!

Here's my idea for an ability:

Wave Heart
"Every time its HP falls under 25%, it unleashes a wave attack every turn. Aside from that, its fighting spirit will heighten."
What it does: When its HP falls under 1/4 of its max HP, two effects occur- the first it will cause 1/16 of the opponent's max HP damage to its opponent every turn from then on, and the second is that fighting type attacks' power increase slightly. During Double, Triple, Rotation, Tag battles etc., the 1/16 damage is sent to the foe that last attacked it.

I know it seems overpowered, but Lucario is awesome, right?

11wildy December 1st, 2012 8:28 AM

I just want to see the low health high power thing in an ability! Like in super smash, where is can make an epic comeback!

Cosmotone8 December 1st, 2012 4:17 PM

I have another idea for an ability.
Aura Lockdown
The user uses its aura to detect exact location of the foe. All the user's attacks accuracy are boosted by 30%.

I can picture a whole new wave of Lucario stalling at low health with protect and substitute from this ability haha; plus the low health = aura powers strengthen is a really cool idea for Lucario, it suits him well! I like this ability idea. :D

Pretty cool idea, it'd make Focus Blast a complete beast of an attack that's for sure. It might get a little overpowered and I'm sure Lucario would be propelled with his usage levels from it, but that's a good thing since we get to see them around more. :D It's a cool idea for an ability but perhaps it'd work better as a signature move or something? x3

I think it would be fine the way it is.

Well, since we don't have any new discussions:

What was your proudest moment with Lucario/Riolu in a battle?
I'll answer this later on, when I can actually think of a good moment in a battle.

I've been busy with school, so I haven't had the chance to update the club's main post. I'll try to get to it soon, I know it's been ages since information last got updated and our layout is really dull. (and we need a new banner) If anyone wants to contribute and help create a new layout or club banner, help would be appreciated.

-----
Also, the story hasn't been touched on in a while, so i'll continue it:

Recap:

Grovyle seemed better now, and I started to feel my legs again. So we ran across the river towards the entrance of the cave.

"Remember, be cautious. We don't know what's in there, and we have to make sure Takashi and Drake are safe."

We entered the cave, being as alert as possible, searching for anything suspicious and looking for our lost partners.

-----
It seemed as if I had been traveling for days. I never walked for this long before and my legs were starting to feel stiff, but I had to endure it longer. All these caves i've been wandering through started to annoy me. Is all of this really necessary?

"Stop moving! Do you hear that?" Grovyle whispered as we both stopped in place inside the cave.

I listened closely, but could not hear anything. Then suddenly we saw a shadowy figure before us. As it slowly stepped forward, I noticed something strange. It's outline resembled Grovyle though, I might just be hallucinating...

Emerging from the darkness, was Grovyle! I looked beside me, and saw the other Grovyle with a surprised look.

"What? Who are you?" I asked.

"Can't you recognize me? It's Grovyle! That one besides you is just a doppelganger!" He replied, pointing furiously toward the Grovyle next to me.

"W... What? What are you talking about? Fine, then if you really are me, then who is it that you're looking for? What is the name of your partner?" Grovyle shouted beside me.

"It's Drake. I would obviously know that since i'm the one searching for him. You helped a fake Grovyle and you didn't notice it? I thought you would have known better Hideyoshi..."

I was confused at who the real one was. They both had the same aura pattern and act exactly the same.

"You're nothing but a liar. Move aside, I don't have time for your games!" The Grovyle next to me charged forward and attacked the other one, but they quickly dodged the attack.

"See? It's clearly him who is the fake! He's trying to attack me, help me out here will you?" The other Grovyle shouted.

I was stunned. I did not know what to do. One of them was obviously the real one. Before I could make my move, I heard footsteps behind me. As I turned around, I saw a figure of myself in front of me.

"What's going on here? Now there is two of you?" One Grovyle said in surprise.

"This is just ridiculous. Now which one of you is the real one?" the other Grovyle shouted, preparing to attack.

"Takashi and Drake need our help! Let's finish this quickly and leave Grovyle, we need to hurry!" My clone shouted.

"Wait, i'm the real..." Before I could finish my sentence, one of the Grovyles attacked me, and I could feel the blood running down my shoulder.

I chose not to fight, and although I was injured, I decided to run past them and out of the cave. This nonsense had to stop! I didn't look back, and I continued forward as I heard them chasing after me. As I went outside, I ran through the small forest and saw another Grovyle! I quickly ran past him, running through many bushes covered in thorns. My legs hurt more than ever now, and while I slowed down, my vision started to blur as the wound from Grovyle's attack was deep. I tried to continue forward, but I had to cross the river to be safe. Before I could I was attacked again, stopped right in my track, like prey hunted by it's predator. I collapsed, looking towards the river. I could see two faint silhouettes on the other side, which resembled Takashi and Drake. I tried reaching out for them with my left arm, with my vision now obscured. I saw my left arm covered in scratches and blood, and I felt pain all over my body as if I was poisoned and paralyzed. Then, I blacked out.

Cosmotone8 January 10th, 2013 11:52 AM

Awesome new addition to the story. I'm thinking about adding my own.
My proudest moment, eh? Probably against Palmer in the Battle Tower. His Rhyperior died in a one hit KO after my Lucario barely survived an Earthquake. :) '
EDIT: I came up with something for the story, here it is!

---------------------------------------
Upon waking up, I found my body to be extremely sore. Go figure. Getting beaten up by a bunch of doppelgangers would do that to someone.
I looked around at my surroundings. The only thing I remembered was blacking out falling into the river, so I figured I must have washed up wherever I was now, but there was only one problem with that theory. I saw that I was in a forest grove, with enough trees that I couldn’t the sky. The same was true when I tried to look out of the small clearing. Where on earth was I? I did a quick aura search to see if there was anyone in the area. There was something, though very faint. I went towards the area where the aura was being emitted. I looked around. There was nothing there. I thought that someone or something had been here before, but I had no idea anymore.
I sat down, and sighed. This was awful. Takashi was being, most likely, tricked by my doppelganger. Where had those come from, anyway? It didn’t make any sense. As I started to think, I noticed something rustling in the bushes. I stood up and took a fighting stance.
“Who’s there?” I said. Scanning with my aura, I saw what looked like the shape of a…deer? I wasn’t sure.
“Leave now, for the sake of the safety of the forest!”
“I mean no harm! Just…I’m lost, and I have no idea where I am. Please, I don’t want to fight.” I pleaded.
“Liar! Prepare to die!” Within a matter of seconds, the Pokemon had leaped out from the bushes, pinned me down on the ground and was preparing to slice me up.
I could see now that the Pokemon was a shade of light green, with large horns and hooves.
“I hope you enjoy prison, trespasser!” The Pokemon was about to use her—or at least I assumed it was a her—horns to get rid of me for good, when all of a sudden she stopped.
“Hideyoshi?” she said. She let me up so she could inspect me. Once she did, she said joy, “It is you!”
“Um, who are you?” I asked. The smile drained off of her face.
“You mean you don’t remember me?” She seemed sad. “After all that we went through, you don’t remember me…”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t. Uh, who did you say you were again?” I was very confused, but what else was new?
“I’m Virizion, but you can call me Vivi. I’m one of your… friends, I guess. That is, until you disappeared,” Virizion said shakedly. “…I… I just can’t believe that you don’t remember me. I mean, we were together for a long time.”
“What do you mean by ‘together?’” I asked.
“Um, nothing! Nothing at all!” Vivi seemed cheerier now, and blushed. “Just know that I’m a friend. I protect the Pokemon in this part of the forest, which is why I needed to make sure you weren’t a, you know, bad Pokemon.”
“Alright, if you’re a friend, then I need you to help me with something.” I explained my situation to her. “Can you help me get back to Takashi?”
“Sure! First things first, let’s take out a map. I think I have one…Aha! Here it is!” She pulled out the map and laid it out on the forest floor. “Let’s see, right now we’re in Overgrown Woods, and it looks like from what you’re describing, you were somewhere over here,” she pointed to someplace on the map. I studied it, but something didn’t seem quite right.
“This doesn’t seem right, I’m not sure why,” I said. Suddenly, it hit me. “Wait a minute, do you know what year this is?”
“Yeah, it’s 613, the year after the big war. Why?”
“That’s it! Takashi is in the past, near Azure Forest!” I exclaimed. “This must be Celebi’s doing. I’m not quite sure how, but she’s the only I know who can bend time.” I felt better now that had some idea of where Takashi was. Virizion must have known the Hideyoshi who lived with young Takashi. It all made sense now.
“But how are we going to get back to the past?” Vivi asked. “It’s not like we can just flash back there, right?”
“Or can we?” I pulled out Mew’s crystal, which I still had from the island. If Mew was really as powerful as he was supposed to be, then maybe his crystal could send us back in time.
“What’s that?” Vivi asked.
“You’ll see. Just stay close to me.” Vivi moved closer to me. I wrapped my free arm around her, making sure that she’d come too, and focused my aura on the crystal, which caused it to glow. I focused on where I wanted to go, and the crystal’s radiance increased. “Here we go,” I said, excited. The crystal flashed, and we were transported back in time. I was going to see Takashi again.

Fenrir Reki January 17th, 2013 9:43 PM

What would you like to see become a Lucario/Riolu item only?
Focus Crystal
If held by Lucario, it increases it's Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense by 2. If held by Riolu, it increases it's Defense and Attack by 2. If multiple focus crystals are held by active friendly Pokemon in battle, they each gain an additional 2 to Speed and take 10% less damage from effective attacks for each one held. (Does not work with Pokemon in your reserve party)

Overpowered item is overpowered. :3

What would you call the item? Unless you can't think of a name. I think it should boost another one of Lucario's attributes by 2 and Riolu's by 1.

This would make a great last resort item and would definitely make your opponent think twice about using effective moves.

ClumzyTrainR13 January 18th, 2013 9:00 AM

Yeah I thought of that because the only weakness of Lucario AT ALL is that he's weak to some of the more powerful pokemon types, such as ground, fire, and fighting.

I totally agree with you there. He should also have a temple of his own to practice his moves and harness his aura.
P.S. Sorry Ookami but I have been very busy for the past year and it's good to be back with the pokemon universe and this club.

What would you like to see from Riolu/Lucario in Gen VI?


Fenrir Reki February 16th, 2013 4:27 PM

What would you like to see from Riolu/Lucario in Gen VI?
If anything they need more variety in abilities more than moves, however I wouldn't mind more moves for them.

lewieboy124 February 18th, 2013 3:10 AM

What would you like to see from Riolu/Lucario in Gen VI?
I would like Nintendo to make their moves in 3D as awesome as possible.
There is loads of potential for a great use of 3D in this game if they think outside the box.
For example, imagine one of Lucario's aura spheres shooting out at you or Riolu performing a force palm on the opponent's pokemon.

Squirrel March 13th, 2013 5:18 AM

I'd love to see them add an evolution for Lucario in Gen VI to be honest! Lucario is an amazing Pokémon yes, and it's definitely able to hold its own in battle, but unfortunately there's so many Pokémon that outclass it or counter it so effectively that's he's becoming very difficult to use well on a team. I think the main problem comes from the huge surplus of Ground, Fire & Fighting moves in the metagame, so perhaps having an evolution which reverts back to just being Fighting type (or maybe even Psychic + Fighting would suit him well?) would be a lot more use? Or even just an ability which somehow disregards the weaknesses he gains from being a Steel type would be good enough haha. But yeah, basically I'd like to see his weaknesses reduced tenfold!

I think the main problem comes from the huge surplus of Ground, Fire & Fighting moves in the metagame, so perhaps having an evolution which reverts back to just being Fighting type (or maybe even Psychic + Fighting would suit him well?) would be a lot more use? Or even just an ability which somehow disregards the weaknesses he gains from being a Steel type would be good enough haha. But yeah, basically I'd like to see his weaknesses reduced tenfold!

I never understood why they decided to add steel to Lucario's type. I completely agree that he should have been Psychic + Fighting instead, because it actually makes sense for him.

Also, just a late update, i've been busy with school lately and I was planning on posting the next part of the club's story last week. I'll post it sometime today or tomorrow.

Lol I was going to start working on the next part of the story, but I'll let you post your's first before I start writing anything.
And the only thing that justifies Lucario's typing is the steel spikes on the back of his hand, imo.

I kept the story short because as I was writing it, I accidentally clicked something with my laptop's touchpad and lost about a half hours worth of writing...
---
After a flash of radiant light before me, I came to my senses as I examined my surroundings. I saw Virizion with a puzzled look.
"Did you just time travel?
"I guess I did."
"Are you time traveling or something?"
"No... It's a long story. I'll explain later. Right now we have to focus on finding Takashi."
"He is your partner right?"
"Yeah."
We quickly advanced through the Overgrown Woods and came across a clearing where we saw four other Virizions fighting Grovyle. I saw a cage created out of vines that seemed to have two people imprisioned inside it.
"Is that Drake and Takashi!?" I shouted
"Don't just stand there and give me that stupid look of yours and help me out!" Grovyle was trying to fight with all of his strength, but he appeared too weak to battle.
"Can you tell me what's going on here Vivi?"
"I really don't know, but your friends are in trouble and I can't help you. I can't fight, but I can give you this piece of advice. You can easily identify which one is holding your friends captive with your aura powers."
I focused to the best of my ability and was soon able to identify the right clone to attack. I then used Aura Sphere to attack it. Then the four clones disappeared and the cage imprisoning Drake and Takashi disappeared.
"Hideyoshi!"
I ran over to him and Drake.
"Are you two all right?"
"We are, don't worry about us but... what about Grovyle?"
"Stop worrying about me. It's just..."
Grovyle fainted and I could tell he suffered severe injuries from the battle.
"I don't have anything to heal him with!" Drake shouted, searching through his backpack.
"Don't worry, although I can't fight I do have healing powers." Vivi replied, healing Grovyle's wounds.
"Since we are all here. Let's just travel back. We still have a task at hand, and that's to find that shrine remember?" I said, holding out Mew's stone. I focused my aura into it as it shined brilliantly. Then in an instant, we were back in the forest on a dirt path. I noticed a cliff in front of us, so I curiously apprached it and saw a magnificent shrine below.
"We found the shrine!" I shouted
"Really? Finally, I thought this would go on forever!" Takashi said.
"I can't follow everyone. I'm really sorry. My job is to protect these woods." Vivi replied.
"Thanks for healing Grovyle for us but who are you?" Drake asked.
"Well, i'm Virizion, but you can call me Vivi! I'm friends with Hideyoshi!"
"Thanks again Vivi! Well, we have to leave now to that shrine. It's really important."
We waved and departed down the steep path towards the shrine.

Here is another topic for the club:

How likely do you think a third evolution would be added after Lucario in a future Pokemon game?

I think there is a small chance that a third evolution would be given to Lucario, however if they do I hope that his steel type gets removed or replaced.

Our club's banner is a year old, so i'll replace it soon. Also, I never asked for anyone's opinion on the layout of the main post. Should I change it? Is there any information on there that seems to be missing?

I aligned the border along with its contents to be centered. I'm surprised I never saw that beforehand.

Dragon/Fighting would be an interesting and strange combo. When I think of Dragon being part of Lucario's evolution I think of him with wings for some odd reason.
