Get Comfortable... Bio: Lloyd was originally in the possession of an Aura Guardian, but was abandoned when his master was sadly killed in a dangerous mission in the Galar region. When he woke up, he saw what had happened, and ran away in tears, clutching the Soothe Bell that he had been given when he hatched... ever since that day, he has always been trying to get stronger in order to avoid anything similar happening in the future, and this led him to get into a lot of trouble over the years. One day, he was running around Galar, when he ran into a rampant Gengar terrorizing the nearby Pokemon. He jumped in to help almost immediately, but before he could even throw a punch, it floated off into the Slumbering Weald. Knowing it could come back later, he ran in, hoping he could stop it. He made his way to the Ruins, where the Gengar was vandalizing it. He attacked the Gengar, but it was unphased due to it's ghost typing. Lloyd was easily defeated, and it was preparing to finish him off, when he heard a sharp howl pierce through the air. He fainted shortly afterwards. When he awoke, he saw a massive blue wolf with red accents and battle scars looming over him. It was Zacian. He'd heard the myths, but he didn't think that they could actually be true... he asked who it was, to no answer, but the look in it's eyes said everything. He got up slowly, and asked Zacian if it had saved him. The wolf nodded it's head slowly, and suddenly a voice echoed throughout his head saying "I saw how you fought back there, and it was most interesting... you fought valiantly despite knowing inside that it was a losing battle... you have potential, little Riolu... come now, for I shall shape that potential, if you are willing..." Lloyd eagerly obliged the offer, and Zacian began to train him in the way of the blade. After several days of training, he learned how to shape his aura into a dull blade, and they realized that he couldn't continue as a Riolu... the voice came back to him saying "If you wish to continue your training, you must transcend this small form... I shall not tell you how to do so, but I believe you can find a way... go forth, do your best, and you shall be reborn in a much stronger form... only then can your training resume..." Lloyd left, and over the next week he tried many methods of evolution. Leveling up, using items, going in specific areas, none of it was working. He sat down by the big rock in the Giant's Cap, snow floating down like stardust, and started to feel hopeless. He looked at the bell, and began to cry, saying that he's a failure, and he should've died alongside his trainer. He looked at the inscription on one of the sides. "Ren." he read aloud to himself. At that moment he felt something he'd never felt before... as if that memory of a friend long lost had sparked a change inside him... he felt a warm glow, different from his aura somehow... He looked at his body and saw an ultrablue glare coming from his feet, spreading fast and growing bigger by the second... it spread to his hip, then his chest, then his arms, then his head... he felt a spike grow from the back of his left paw, followed by his right, followed by one from his chest... he felt fur grow all around the new spike in his chest, then he felt rings appear around his shoulders and more dreadlocks sprout from the back of his head... he felt his markings change, he felt his limbs shift in size, he felt his head squeeze into a different shape and size, and then all at once, it stopped... he felt a little woozy as he stood up... he seemed to be a lot taller now, as the landscape and other Pokemon around him seemed smaller than they did before... he looked down to see a completely different body than the one he was in before... he felt a surge of happiness. "Was this what Zacian was talking about earlier...?" he wondered in amazement "Evolution?" he ran off back towards the Slumbering Weald faster than he had-or could've-before. He arrived back at the ruins shouting "I-I did it! Zacian I did it!" he then skidded to a stop, realizing that he was being kinda rude, knelt down, and said "Oh great Zacian, I've achieved evolution." Zacian turned around and looked at him, looking quite proud, and the voice said "Very well, young Lucario, I am quite pleased that you have reached this momentous occasion in your life... you may now resume your training." they began to train again, with Lloyd being much more skilled now that he was a Lucario. Months passed, until Lloyd had completely mastered his Aura Blade, and he left for the day. As he left however, he saw some trainers in suspicious outfits going into the Slumbering Weald, Ultra Balls on their belts and one even holding a Master Ball. He knew they were up to no good, and he followed them back into the Slumbering Weald. They didn't even try to navigate the maze, one just brought out a Scizor and sliced through the forest until they reached the ruins, where Zacian was resting. (Cont. below)
The suspicious trainers talked a bit, saying things like "There it is..." and "This is the perfect chance!" Then they readied their Poke Balls and Lloyd realized what he had to do. He stepped into action, attacking with the same ferocity that Zacian had taught him to display. It was a difficult battle, and there were some close calls here and there, but he cut through anything they could throw at him, and eventually they were forced to flee. The next day he returned to make sure Zacian was okay, and not only was it okay, it was overjoyed at the bravery he'd displayed in fighting the trainers, and the voice said "You've done well my pupil... you've shown that there is good in your heart, and exceptional bravery in a time of need... Lloyd, I now dub thee... worthy." At once, there was a shimmering golden light, and when it stopped, Lloyd was in shining golden armor and directional booster wings with a gold prism in the middle of his forehead. "encased in that prism is my guidance... if you ever feel lost, call for me, and I shall assist you... now, go forth, and do me proud..." (And now the bio's FINALLY over XD) Moveset: Extreme Speed: Uses boosters to strike at blinding speed (Normal Type, Physical Unless Noted, Contact) Aura Sphere: Shoots a decently-powerful ball of Aura (Fighting Type, Special, No Contact) Close Combat: Attacks relentlessly, but leaves himself open afterwards (Fighting, Physical, Contact) Aura Rend: Attacks with his Aura Blade, sharp and strong enough to cut clean through Registeel with ease if aimed well enough (Steel, Special, Contact) Special Move Blinding Blade: Flares up all his Aura to blind opponents, then cuts through them several times, then dashes through them one last time, then like it's an anime, sheathes his blade right as the opponent falls to the ground fainted/straight up dead. Personality: If you haven't figured it out by the MASSIVE bio, Lloyd is typically sweet and kind to people, decently polite, typically calm and collected, even during battle, and rushes to save everyone he can. If he senses someone's Aura to be malevolent however, he will not hesitate to attack, even if it's someone in his alliance. In battle, he could kind of be described as someone who shoots first and asks questions later, but not quite because he doesn't need to ask questions, he's already read your Aura and knows everything about you. He does get tired quite quickly though, as he fights so ferociously that he exhausts all his energy in around thirty seconds flat. Also, he LOVES to spar. If you want to be friends with him, spar with him frequently.
