Lucario

"Watch the power of Aura!"

- Lucario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Lucario, also known as the Aura Pokémon, is a creature from the Pokémon series. He appears in the 80th episode of DEATH BATTLE!, Lucario VS Renamon, where he faces off against Renamon from the Digimon series.

History
Lucario, the Aura Pokémon and Pokémon 448 in the Pokédex, is a Fighting/Steel Type Pokémon which evolves from Riolu via friendship during daytime. They are rare and usually live on mountains far away from humans to train, but are extremely loyal and prideful once caught, with a natural sense of justice. They are able to manipulate an energy named Aura, which enables them to sense enemies or prey from afar, create projectiles and even communicate with humans via telepathy.

The most popular and commonly known Lucario belonged to Sir Aaron. Lucario was Sir Aaron's student, but when he tried to stop a war, Lucario followed him and was sealed in his staff, so that Lucario may not suffer the same fate Sir Aaron would, as he sacrificed himself to save the Tree of Beginning. Years later, Ash Ketchum would accidentally free Lucario, and together they would try to save the disturbed Tree of Beginning and Mew.
