Buck is an amateur treasure hunter who was searching for rarities with the help of Baltoy's senses. He appeared in ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]'', where he met up with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} 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 {{p|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 first makes an appearance in the [[Battleground]] battling with [[Marley]]. The battle goes without a conclusion as Buck notices {{adv|Looker}} spying on them and chases after him while the officer escapes. Later, after {{adv|Platinum}} defeats [[Darach]] at the [[Battle Castle]], Buck makes his appearace, where he introduces himself to Platinum and Looker and takes off with Looker's photo of the {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}}s convening on [[Stark Mountain]].
 
He states that 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 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. 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.

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 in Pokémon Adventures

Buck first makes an appearance in the Battleground battling with Marley. The battle goes without a conclusion as Buck notices Looker spying on them and chases after him while the officer escapes. Later, after Platinum defeats Darach at the Battle Castle, Buck makes his appearace, where he introduces himself to Platinum and Looker and takes off with Looker's photo of the Team Galactic Grunts convening on Stark Mountain.

He states that he has always admired 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 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. 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.
