Personality

Duke is calm, friendly, sociable, kind and is always looking for a challenge. He doesn't like to draw attention to him and tends to be rather quiet around humans since they wouldn't be able to understand him anyway. He's also very dedicated to training and spends most of his time doing so, but he takes his breaks every now and then, he treats everybody with respectd is quite humble. It's hard to know when he's angry since he keeps a straight face even if he's truly angered, still it's hard to even make him angry.

History

Duke was a Riolu that has always worked hard to be strong, why, nobody knows, he met Lyuri when she got a part-time job at the Flocessy Ranch and got impressed with his fighting prowess when he fought a few other Pokémon in the ranch and ended up taking him with her in her adventures, intially he was relunctant, but being with her helped him get even stronger so he quickly bonded with the girl and soon they became great friends.

Relationships

Incredibly loyal to Lyuri, who in turn trusts him completely to the point where she let's him basically battle for himself sometimes, only giving instructions at some points. He's also friends with her sister Sakura and the two can be seen together sometimes, though they haven't interacted much with each other.

He has a sibling bond with Riku, frequently acting as a big brother for the Sandslash and that makes them quite close to each other while also making Duke quite protective of him. He's friends with the entire team, but does not like Zack's arrogance one bit and Zap's tendency to cause trouble together with Riku, who most of the time just goes along with his idea, though as of the recent incident things may change. He doesn't have any problems with Alden, Hayato or Sting though. Zack also has a bit of a rivalry with him, but Duke himself doesn't consider him one mostly because he thinks that competing to see who's stronger is just a silly waste of time.

Trivia
