Buck first makes an appearance in the [[Battleground]] battling with fellow Stat Trainer, [[Marley]]. The battle goes without a conclusion as Buck notices [[Looker]] spying on them and chases after him while the officer escapes. Later, after {{adv|Platinum}} defeats [[Castle Valet Darach|Darach]] at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}}, Buck makes his appearace, where he introduces himself to Platinum and Looker and takes off with Looker's photo of the [[Galactic Grunt]]s convening on [[Stark Mountain]] in the next round. Apparently, he has always admired {{p|Heatran}}, and will not stand for them tarnishing its home. However, in the process of climbing the mountain, the Grunts had begun to follow him. Buck battles the Grunts, but finds them hard to defeat due to the fact that every time he knocks them down, they just rise up again as if nothing had happened. Eventually he opts for running and manages to lose the Grunts while finding the room with the Magma Stone.

Buck tries to escape Charon's wrath, but Heatran is too powerful for him to escape. Eventually, Looker comes to his rescue, but finds Charon too powerful to defeat as well. Despite their best efforts, Charon defeats them, but they manage to escape and are badly wounded. With Platinum's Pokémon's help, Buck is put into the hospital, where his friends distress over his current condition, leading them to decide to take revenge on Charon.
 
After Charon is defeated, a now-healed Buck arrives to greet his friends at Sunyshore City. With Heatran free from Charon's control, Buck and his friends decide to take it back to its home on Stark Mountain.

====In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions====
When met on the way to [[Stark Mountain]]: ''Yo! If it isn't <{{Player}}>! Don't tell me you're going to Stark Mountain, too? You're pretty wimpy... You're sure you're going to be OK? Heh, why am I asking you that? It's not like I care. Anyways, if we see each other on Stark Mountain, the race is on to see who gets the [[Magma Stone]] first!''
====In Pokémon Platinum Version====
When met on the way to [[Stark Mountain]]:''Yo! If it isn't <{{Player}}>! Out training right away, are you? So, uh, since you're training anyway, can you do me a favor? I'd like you to patrol Stark Mountain for me.''
Yes: ''Up past here, there's this volcano. It's Stark Mountain. Deep inside is this special rock called the Magma Stone. I can't explain it well, but it's really important. it keeps a Pokémon asleep. But lately, I've been hearing rumors about vandals in Stark Mountain. They say goons in space suits are causing trouble there. Huh? What, me? I was on my way to the Pokémon Center because my Pokemon's low on HP. So, if you could get up to Stark Mountain now, that'd be great. Thanks!''
No: ''I'll keep asking the same thing over and over until you say "Yes!"''
When met inside [[Stark Mountain]]:''Hey, <{{Player}}>, wait up! So, what's going on? ...What?! Team Galactic's here? Gotcha! Let's team up and go together. You won't regret teaming up! I'll keep your Pokémon healthy!
When in conversation:''This is where I raised my Pokémon. I can't stand the though of anyone making a mess of this place. Especially not those weird Team Galactic goons! There's no law that says I have to be tough or anything, but losing isn't fair to my Pokémon. After all, they try so hard for me. I think it's my responsibility as a Trainer to recognize their hard work. My big brother's one of the Elite Four. So, of course it's only normal that I'd be better than ordinary folks. But that's not what I want. I want to be tough on my own terms. It wouldn't be fair to Pokémon that chose to be with me. It might be cool being a Gym Leader or one of the Elite Four... But, then again, it sounds like it'd be a lot of hard work!''
When leaving [[Stark Mountain]]:''Whoa! Hold up! If you go back, you'll leave me all by my lonesome self here! Well, if you gotta go, you gotta go. I'll stick around here for you.''
When approaching Team Galactic:''Here we are! Team Galactic's inside, right? This is it. No fooling around! Hey, you! Team Galactic! What's going on here?!''
Outside [[Stark Mountain]], to [[Looker]] and <{{Player}}>:''Hey, don't sweat it, stranger. Give me that Magma Stone. I'll go put it back for you. Hey, stranger! I put the Magma Stone where it belongs. It'll be OK now. HEATRAN won't wake up. Probably. But, hey, <{{Player}}>! You're an amazing trainer! Swing by my place later. It's in the Survival Area. Be seeing you, stranger, <{{Player}}>! Bye-bye!''
At [[Survival Area]]:''Yo, if it isn't <{{Player}}>! This! It's my place! Drop in, hey? My place is open only to the toughest Trainers--I'm serious. You're supposed to be introduced by a Gym Leader, but you're special. Well, I'm off to Battle Frontier. I feel like seeing how far I can go up the Tower.''

Main series

Buck in the anime

Buck is an amateur treasure hunter who was searching for rarities with the help of Baltoy's senses. He appeared in Bucking the Treasure Trend!, where he met up with Ash and his friends on the same ferry bound for Lily of the Valley Island. Unlike the other passengers who were headed for the Sinnoh League, Buck was actually getting off at the nearby Dandelion Island so he could look for treasures after uncovering a map during one of his other expeditions.

With the help of Ash's group, Buck was able to find the island's treasure, ancient pottery, at an ancient ruin site. He also managed to capture a powerful Claydol. Buck revealed that he wanted to become an archaeology professor. He said farewell to the group and planned to head to Stark Mountain to uncover more treasures.

Buck takes the Magma Stone from its resting place and successfully awakens Heatran, only for Charon to take it for his own. Buck tries to escape Charon's wrath, but Heatran is too powerful for him to escape. Eventually, Looker comes to his rescue, but finds Charon too powerful to defeat as well.

With Platinum's Pokémon's help, Buck is put into the hospital, where his friends distress over his current condition, leading them to decide to take revenge on Charon.
