'''Lucius''' (Japanese: '''ルシアス''' ''Lucius''), also known as the '''Ancient Adventurer''' (Japanese: '''いにしえの冒険者''' ''Ancient Adventurer''), is a recurring character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. He is the main reason [[Roy]] wanted to become a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and the truth behind his legend serves as one of his motivations.

==History==
[[File:Lucius Alex book.png|thumb|250px|left|Lucius meeting his Pokémon partners in [[Alex]]'s books]]
The Ancient Adventurer was first mentioned by [[Roy]] when describing his feats to [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]''. According to him, the Ancient Adventurer traveled through different [[region]]s and captured several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and treasures around the world. A group of his friends came to be collectively known as the [[Explorers]].

He briefly appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'' when Roy told his [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]] about his dreams.

In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', just after the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] helped restore a [[Arboliva Forest|forest]] that had been destroyed by a wildfire, the Pokémon in Liko's pendant came to life. With {{p|Arboliva}}'s assistance, the Pokémon showed Liko and Roy a vision of the past where Lucius asked Arboliva to look for something. Later, Liko and Roy read a book by [[Alex|Liko's father]] that told the history of Lucius's adventures, based on stories told by Liko's grandmother [[Diana]].

Lucius appeared again in a vision for Liko, Roy, and [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]''. This time, the mysterious adventurer was seen talking to Moltres about achieving something called "[[Lakua]]". In the [[HZ024|next episode]], [[Diana]] revealed that she found a diary in her childhood with memories of Lucius's adventures. She also revealed that Lakua is the name of the paradise that Lucius was looking for and that at some point {{an|Terapagos}} was with Lucius on this journey.

In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure!]]'', Diana showed Liko a photograph of Lucius. She also took advantage and gave her Lucius' belt where he carried his former companions' Poké Ball.

In [[HZ032]], Lucius appeared in another flashback, this time showing the Ancient Adventurer at the entrance to Lakua and saying goodbye to his former companions.

==Character==
Although much of Lucius is based on legend and myth, his deeds have resonated for years. During the flashbacks in which he was seen, it was shown that Lucius has a deep connection with his Pokémon.

In [[HZ045]], it was suggested that Gibeon has some sort of connection to Lucius, but the extent of this has not been fully shown yet.

==Pokémon==
<!--[[File:Lucius Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Lucius and his Pokémon in Alex's books]]-->

A hundred years ago, Lucius traveled with the [[Black Rayquaza]] and five Pokémon he encountered throughout the various [[region]]s he traveled, working towards a single goal. Collectively, they are known as the '''Six Heroes''' (Japanese: '''六英雄''' ''Six Heroes''), and each of them had a specific purpose. In an as-yet-unexplained way, Lucius's [[Poké Ball]]s have been scattered around the world.

Lucius kept all his Pokémon in {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s.

This listing is of Lucius's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

Terapagos appear to have met at least four of the Six Heroes at some point; Arboliva, Moltres, Lapras, and Rayquaza and is also implied to wish to see Lucius again in [[Lakua]]. Unlike the others however, it was is not a member of the Six Heroes and didn't seem to have ever been caught in one of Lucius's {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s, making the full details of their relationship still a mystery.}}

Arboliva made its debut in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'' as a guardian of a [[Arboliva Forest|forest]] that [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Mollie]] had visited. Around its neck was the Ancient Poké Ball that Lucius had it in. In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', Arboliva helped Liko and her friends restore the forest. After completely healing the forest, Arboliva returned to its Poké Ball and decided to be under the care of Liko.

None of Arboliva's moves are known and its Ability is {{a|Seed Sower}}.}}

Galarian Moltres made its debut in ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'' completly enraged in a [[Galar Mine]] Liko and Roy were in looking for Rayquaza. In one of its talons, was the Ancient Poké Ball that Lucius had it in. It easily overpowered them, forcing them to retreat, leaving [[Friede]] and [[Amethio]] to confront it instead before escaping as well. Moltres was then confronted by Liko, Roy, and Friede again, but this time with the Trainers being successfully able to hold their own in battle with their Pokémon, allowing them to calm it down with {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}'s aromatic leafage with help from Lucius's Arboliva, Moltres eventually calmed down enough to return to its Ancient Poké Ball, allowing itself to be taken care of by Liko and the others.

Moltres's known moves are {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Fiery Wrath}}, {{m|Wing Attack}}, and {{m|Hurricane}}.}}

Lapras made its debut in [[HZ031]] as the leader of a group of "pirate" Pokémon in Galar's ocean the Rising Volt Tacklers were in looking for it. Somewhere in its cave, was the Ancient Poké Ball that Lucius had it in. Lapras uses its Mist to get ships lost and then guides it to safety while singing, simply to distract the crew from its friends who invade it and steal their food. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], [[Liko]] was able to convince Lapras to come with her so it could help lead {{an|Terapagos}} to [[Lakua]].

Lapras's known moves are {{m|Mist}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Lucius is the first character in the anime to have officially owned a {{Shiny}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* It is heavily implied that Lucius possesses some relations to Liko's family; not only do they possess the same hair color, but [[Diana]] found an old suitcase containing notes of his journey and a dormant {{an|Terapagos}} from her home as a child.
