Roark reappeared in flashbacks in [[DP048]] and [[DP120]]. | |||
He reappeared in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', visiting his father, [[Byron]] in [[Canalave City]]. He argued with Byron over which of them loves Fossils more and had a short battle with him. He revealed that Byron suddenly left [[Oreburgh Gym]] to him when he was requested to take over the [[Canalave Gym]]. Roark was shocked and saddened by his father's sudden departure, thinking that he didn't care what happened to him or his mother. Later, Byron revealed that he had always treasured a Fossil of a {{p|Sunkern}}'s leaf that Roark had given to him as a child ten years earlier, and Roark accepted that his father did care about him all along. | |||

Roark (Japanese: ヒョウタ Hyouta) is the Gym Leader of Oreburgh City's Gym, known officially as the Oreburgh Gym. He hands out the Coal Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. He is Byron's son and the grandson of the Underground Man.
In the games
Roark's team is made up entirely of Rock-type Pokémon. After he is defeated, he will give the player the Coal Badge and TM76 (Stealth Rock); the Badge gives the player the ability to use Rock Smash outside of battle. Roark, as the Oreburgh Mine's safety supervisor, lets the Trainers of Oreburgh train in the mines. Despite his young age, he keeps the mine running safely and efficiently. After losing, he feels embarrassed that his Cranidos lost to a Trainer without any Badges and cautions the protagonist that the following leaders are a lot tougher. Roark later appears in the Underground, welcoming the player on their first visit there, and explaining a handful of features of the area. Like the other Gym Leaders, he can be fought again at the Battleground in Platinum Version.
As a child, Roark spent a significant amount of time playing on Iron Island.
Apparently, Riley was considered for position of Oreburgh Gym Leader first, but he declined and suggested Roark for the position, and Roark was instead instated.

Quotes
Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum
- "OK, stand back and watch this. Using the hidden move Rock Smash, a boulder blocking your way..." (boulder gets broken to pieces)
- "Fallen boulders need to be smashed so they're out of the way. If you could get the Badge from the Gym in town, you'd be able to do this too. Of course, you'd have to beat the Gym Leader first. That'd be me!"
- Before battle
- "Welcome! This is the Oreburgh Pokémon Gym! I'm Roark, the Gym Leader! I'm but one Trainer who decided to walk proudly with Rock-type Pokémon! As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer. And, I'll need to see the toughness of the Pokémon that battle with you!"
- After sending out last Pokémon
- "Think you can take down the next Pokémon like you did earlier?"
- Last Pokémon at critical health
- "No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"
- Being defeated
- "W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"
- After being defeated
- "This is embarrassing... I went and lost to a Trainer who didn't have a single Gym Badge... But that's tough. You were strong and I was weak. That's all there is. According to Pokémon League rules, I have to give you our Gym Badge since you've beaten me, the Leader. Here's your official Pokémon League Coal Badge."
- "In this region of Sinnoh, there are seven other Gym Leaders. I should warn you — they're a lot tougher than I am!"
- "Hey! <player>! Is this maybe your first time here? Welcome to Sinnoh's Underground! Huh? Where is this, you ask? Doesn't the Radar make it obvious? This is a giant underground network of passages underneath Sinnoh. Huh? What I am doing down in this expanse of a place? That's kind of hard to answer. I mean, you can pretty much anything you want down here. For instance, you can dig up Treasure, Spheres, and make a Secret Base. You can play with your friends down here, too. You should talk to the Underground Man in Eterna City. I have to get going now. I'll see you around!"
- "If it were me, I'd like to put a Fossil over there. You don't think so? No? I think a Fossil would match this decor."
- "The Underground extends even underneath the Resort Area. I wonder... If I really tried, would I be able to extend it to even places like Kanto and Johto?"
- "What I think about while digging underground...What did the Pokémon see before they became Fossils? I'd love to go back and see them as they were back then."
- Before battle
- "I went down to the Underground every day. I toughened up my Pokémon by digging up Fossils nonstop. Could I show you how tough I made them in a battle?"
- "Look, can I have some time? I feel lucky to have run into you here, so can I challenge you to a battle?" (If No is the first answer)
- Yes: "Here goes! These are my rocking Pokémon, my pride and joy!"
- No: "This is another topic, but you know those Spheres you can dig up? Yes, those Spheres. The ones in the Underground. Why do you suppose Spheres grow if you leave them burried? It's not a huge issue or anything, but doesn't it strike you as odd?"
- Last Pokémon at critical health
- "No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"
- Being defeated
- "W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"
- After being defeated
- "...We lost control there. Next time I'd like to challenge you to a Fossil-digging race underground."
Battleground (alternate)
- Before battle
- "Would you like to battle? You'll get to see a different me than you saw at my Gym."
- "Oh, you do want to battle?" (If No is the first answer)
- Last Pokémon at critical health
- "No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"
- Being defeated
- "W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"
- After being defeated
- "Pokémon from ancient times... Fossils that are yet to be discovered... I wonder if I can find new Fossils if I dig all over Sinnoh?"

- Before battle (final round)

- If the player is defeated

- After being defeated
- "...We lost control there. Next time, I'd like to challenge you to Fossil-digging race underground in the Sinnoh region."
- After winning
- "Thanks! The battle gave me confidence that I may be able to beat my dad!"
- In the lobby, after the tournament
- "With skill like yours, it's natural for you to win. Still, wasn't it hard to train Pokémon that much? By the way, are there any Fossils in Nacrene City's museum?"

In the anime
Roark appeared in the episodes between Shapes of Things to Come! and O'er the Rampardos we Watched. He battled Paul in his debut episode. In this battle, he showed his strong abilities (even beating Paul's Azumarill with his Geodude). However, his powerhouse, Cranidos, wasn't powerful enough to defeat Elekid. With this win Paul earned the Coal Badge from Roark. Following his defeat, Roark battled and defeated Ash in the following episode.
He used Cranidos to battle the prehistoric Pokémon, Aerodactyl unleashed in Oreburgh City. During the conflict, his Cranidos evolved into Rampardos.
Roark then faced Ash again in a rematch. Onix and Geodude were defeated by Pikachu and Aipom. His powerhouse Rampardos battled against Ash's whole team and was defeated by Turtwig. Being the victor, Ash earned the Coal Badge.
Roark reappeared in flashbacks in DP048 and DP120.
He reappeared in Ancient Family Matters!, visiting his father, Byron in Canalave City. He argued with Byron over which of them loves Fossils more and had a short battle with him. He revealed that Byron suddenly left Oreburgh Gym to him when he was requested to take over the Canalave Gym. Roark was shocked and saddened by his father's sudden departure, thinking that he didn't care what happened to him or his mother. Later, Byron revealed that he had always treasured a Fossil of a Sunkern's leaf that Roark had given to him as a child ten years earlier, and Roark accepted that his father did care about him all along.
Along with being the foreman of the Oreburgh Mine, Roark is also the chief of Ancient Pokémon Expedition Operations.
In Dealing With Defensive Types!, he was the referee for Ash's Gym battle against Byron.

This listing is of Roark's known Pokémon in the anime:
Geodude was the first Pokémon Roark used against Paul. It first battled Paul's Azumarill, and despite being at a major disadvantage, it defeated the Aqua Rabbit Pokémon as if it were nothing.

It was also used as the second Pokémon in Ash's rematch and faced Aipom. Although it put up a good fight, Aipom's speed and agility turned out to be too much for Geodude, causing it to be defeated by her super-effective Focus Punch.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Roark first appears arriving in Oreburgh City after exploring the underground with the Underground Man at Eterna City and speaking with his father, Byron, at Canalave City. He meets Platinum, a new Trainer who wishes to challenge and sets up a match for the next day.
The next day, Platinum challenges the Oreburgh Gym for their match. After getting through the Trainers inside, she faces Roark in an official Gym battle. In the match, Roark's Cranidos proves to be a powerful opponent for Platinum's Piplup, but the match eventually ends in Platinum's favor. Defeated, Roark awards Platinum with her first Badge, the Coal Badge. Later, he talks with Byron over the phone about his recent loss to Platinum and they begin talking about another subject.
Later, it is revealed that the aforementioned subject was about a mysterious group that had been going in and out of Canalave to read ancient texts at the library. With the recent disappearance of two scientists, Roark worries that his father would start jumping to conclusions about the littlest things. Later, when Byron is forced to find her, Maylene, and Platinum someone to train them so they can confront Team Galactic, he considers Roark at first but soon changes his mind to Volkner.
Later, Roark, along with Fantina and Gardenia, faces the Team Galactic Commanders on the Spear Pillar. After Candice, Maylene, Byron, and Crasher Wake join the fight, Roark and Fantina team up to face Saturn. Eventually, they emerge victorious and attempt to fight Cyrus before he can finish his ritual. Due to a rift in space-time, they are forced to use the Sinnoh Underground to get to Cyrus, but they manage to come up right at the exact spot he was in.
All the Gym Leaders attempt to stop Cyrus's plan by breaking one of his Red Chains. Though a difficult struggle, they manage to succeed, but they bring upon Cyrus's wrath in the process and are defeated.
After the final battle with Cyrus ends, Roark and the other Gym Leaders are taken to a hospital due to their heavy injuries.
