===Quotes===

'''{{si|Pokémon League}}'''

:''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the {{t|Psychic}} type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the [[Elite Four]]. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

* After sending out last Pokémon

:''"Hmm... Now what should I do..."''

:''"I see. You getting past the three before me was no fluke. Your power is real."''

:''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the {{pkmn|Champion}}. I should warn you—the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four. Now, go on. Step through the doorway to your final battle."''

:''"I'll be reading books until the next challenger arrives. That will calm my nerves, so that I may deal with all situations without panicking."''

:''"...Ah, hello. You’re here to read, too? Books are wonderful things. The thoughts of people written in books stretch beyond time and space. I was just reading a book of philosophy from an ancient, far-off land. Their '{{p|Arceus|universe}}' was a word that described both {{p|Palkia|space}} and {{p|Dialga|time}}. That people even back then understood the basic tenets of [[Pokémon universe|the universe]]... It fills me with a serene sense of inspiration. I imagine we'll see each other again at the Pokémon League. Take care."''

:''"...Ah, hello. You’re here to read, too? Books are wonderful things. The thoughts of people written in books stretch beyond time and space. I was just reading a collection of observations on Pokémon in the wild. One article addresses the question why Pokémon would go into a [[Poké Ball]]. According to this article, this behavior is based on instinct. A weakened Pokémon will curl up tight in an effort to heal itself. The Poké Ball was invented to take advantage of that protective instinct. I imagine we'll see each other again at the Pokémon League. Take care."''

Lucian debuted in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''. He was first seen battling using his {{p|Girafarig}} on [[television]], but then met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a [[Pokémon Center]]. He informed them about the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}} and later had a battle against {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} using his {{p|Bronzong}}. Buizel's attacks didn't have much of an effect, if any, on Bronzong. Following the attack {{m|Gyro Ball}}, Bronzong used {{m|Flash Cannon}} to defeat its opponent.

===Pokémon===

====On hand====

|desc={{p|Bronzong}} is Lucian's main Pokémon. The first time he used it was in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', where it battled against {{an|Dawn}}'s newly captured {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}. Because Buizel didn't listen to Dawn, he quickly lost. Later in the same episode they had a rematch, and because Buizel was now listening to Dawn, the battle went better. However, Lucian eventually recalled Bronzong, saying that he had just wanted to prove Buizel's potential for becoming strong.

Later in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' Lucian used his Bronzong in his battle against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], but the Bronze Bell Pokémon was soon [[fainting|knocked out]] by the Mach Pokémon's powerful {{m|Giga Impact}}.

Bronzong's known moves are {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Gyro Ball}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}.}}

|desc=Lucian was seen using his {{p|Girafarig}} on television in a battle against an unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Scizor}}. It was easily able to dodge all of Scizor's {{m|Slash}} attacks and finally knock it out with a single strike despite the type-disadvantage.

====Temporary====

|img=Ash Buizel DP034.png

|desc=When {{an|Dawn}}'s newly caught {{p|Buizel}} was being stolen away by {{TRT}}, Lucian used him to battle against the thieves, showing Dawn that she could also be able to command the Sea Weasel Pokémon which had been disobeying her during her battle with Lucian. Under Lucian's command, Buizel quickly defeated [[Jessie's Dustox]] and [[James's Carnivine]].}}

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Lucian, along with Bertha and Aaron, are enlisted by the [[Pokémon Association]] to decipher [[Charon]]'s notebook that was stolen by {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{DL|Diamond (Adventures)|Kit}}. Using his talents in reading books, Lucian was able to easily figure out what the book says and gives it to Diamond and {{adv|Pearl}} so they can use it to stop Charon from capturing the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh.

In this series, Lucian's reading skills are shown to be great enough for him to easily finish a book in only a few mere moments.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===

Lucian makes a brief appearance in ''[[DPA37|Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon!]]''. He watched [[Hareta]]'s battle with [[Koya]] in the audience.

* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four whose Pokémon are all of his specialty type.

* One of the old men on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}}, who is only found in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, may be Lucian's grandfather as he has a grandson who enjoys reading and who has a library of books on {{wp|Extrasensory perception|ESP}}.

* While Lucian's clothes are colored maroon in his official Sugimori artwork and the anime, they are colored magenta in his game sprites.
