Appearance
Normal: Silver is a Lucario. He has mostly blue fur with a stripe of black fur on his face-over his eyes and nose-and between his ears, stretching from the front of his face to the back of his head. His hands, feet, shoulders, aura sensors, and a stripe of fur around the bottom of his midsection are also black. Silver has yellowish-cream fur on his torso with a spike on his chest and one on the back of each hand. He also wears a black wrist-com on his right wrist and a Lucarionite on his left, both behind the spikes on his hands. An interesting feature Silver has is that a large patch of fur on his nose is white-which is how he got his name. He also has a long scar on the inside of his right forearm, but it is unknown how he got this, and has never been mentioned in-story.
Mega Evolved: When Silver Mega Evolves, his aura sensors become longer-with the outer two being longer than the inner two and gaining red tips-his hands and feet are now red-with two spikes on each hand and each foot. The front spike on each hand is longer and points outward(making his punches more dangerous), while the front spike on each foot is longer than the one in back. His tail becomes a cape of fur matching the fur on his torso-which also stretches farther up at his shoulders. There is also a spike on the front side of his shoulder, and ragged black lines stretch down his arms, legs, and across his face. When he Mega Evolves, he retains his white nose and the scar on his arm, yet his wrist-com disappears.
Personality
Silver is stoic and maybe even wise. He tends to keep to himself, yet when he speaks, he is listened to, because his opinion is greatly valued among the Storming Alliance. Though he is slow to anger, he can be hard to calm down when he does get angry, especially when his warriors or family are threatened.
History
Silver's Escape: Silver was initially born into Aura Village as the only son and eldest child of Murray-a Lucario secretly working for the Outsiders, a group of villainous Pokemon-and his mate Isa. Silver and his sister Leah were friends with a Sandile named Ryala, an Electrike named Zymmern, a Chespin named Thorn, a Tailow named Windstrom, and a Shiny Fletchling named Robin, and they all loved to hear tales of the legendary Team of Mega Pokemon, the Mega Force. He was constantly bullied by a Tyrunt named Razorjaw, and defeated him several times in battle with help from his move Copycat and Razorjaw's own weakness to Fighting-Types. Soon afterward, Silver and Leah's father Murray returns to the Village after having been called away by his duties to "an unknown group of Pokemon". After this, the Outsiders attack the Village in an effort to kidnap its Young Ones, but only succeed in capturing Silver and Leah and making Isa disappear. They are taken to the Outsiders' camp, and Silver learns the true colors of his father, a meek and submissive Lucario who was basically the opposite of his fearless and courageous kind. Nero the Greninja also insists on "training" Silver himself, which actually turns out to be more like a brutal beating, since despite his Type-Disadvantage, Nero badly beat the young Riolu, only to be stopped by a sudden fit caused by Sonic.EXE, who had driven Nero mad in the past. Silver used Force Palm on Nero, saving him from the fit, only to be given a serious slap in the face. Silver is carried away by Finn, an old Swampert, and is nursed back to health. Afterward, Finn urges Silver and Leah to run. When they ask him to come with them, he refuses, stating that he'd been with the group since he was a Mudkip, and that Nero wouldn't be as "forgiving" with him if he tried to escape. Silver and Leah then run away, but are cornered at a cliff by an Outsider patrol led by Nero, who cruelly states that Murray sensed them escaping and led the patrol to them. Leah tries to tell Nero off, but is given a hard slap in the face. This enrages Silver and as a result, he evolves into Lucario. The confrontation is cut short when Tai's second-in-command, Cobalt the Mega Houndoom, leaps in with a patrol to save them and bring them to the Megastone Rogues. After receiving some training, Silver decides to travel back to his old Village and reveal that he is still alive. When there, he found that his friends had evolved, and that Razorjaw-now a Tyrantrum-had had deep regrets for Silver and Leah's capture. The two had yet another fight-this one for old time's sake-and afterward, Silver was given a Lucarionite by the elder Delphox, who revealed that it had been left at the Village by Silver's own ancestor, Master Lucario of the Mega Force himself. Silver donned the Lucarionite then headed back to the Megastone Rogues, but is sidetracked by a frightened cub named Braveheart, whom he promptly returns to Team Brave, also receiving a vision of the future transformation Fusion Fox. He returns to the Megastone Rogues and is given a scorching reprimand from Tai the Charizard, who understood Silver's delay from returning to the group since he helped a young fox cub. Impatiently eager to defeat Nero and make him see justice, Silver decides to leave the Megastone Rogues and form his own group, which he called Rogue Squad, being accompanied by Rokky the Krokorok, Mitch the Shiny Flygon, and Blitz the Arcanine among others. When contemplating whether or not to rejoin the Megastone Rogues, Rokky tells him that no matter what, they'll follow him, and that the decision was his to make. In the end, Silver chooses to make his group part of the Storming Alliance.
The Fleeing Evil Saga:
- Austin's Flight: Silver leads a patrol consisting of himself, Diggs the Excadrill, Austin Smith, and Storm the Buizel to stop Finitevus from whatever he had planned, and when the patrol is ambushed, Silver and Diggs are forced toward a river and separated from Austin and Storm. They are then swept away by the river and Austin and Storm are captured by Finitevus' followers. In the Epilogue, Silver and Diggs return to the Storming Base with Austin's ripped shirt and broken wrist-com.
- Austin's Exile: In the Prologue, Silver recalls how he and Diggs were separated from Austin and Storm and swept away by a river they were forced near. He swears to himself that he will make Finitevus pay for capturing Austin and Storm.

Powers
Silver's moveset currently consists of Bone Rush, Power-Up Punch, Aura Sphere, and Metal Claw.
His only revealed moves in Silver's Escape as a Riolu were Copycat and Force Palm, but he was able to use a multitude of moves through Copycat.
Moves via Copycat(and the Pokemon mimicked):
- Dragon Tail(from Razorjaw)
- Draco Meteor(from Razorjaw)
- Gust(from Flapper)
- Double Team(from Nero)
- Focus Punch(from Finn)
Abilities
Normal: Despite it never being explicitly mentioned, Silver's current Ability is Inner Focus, which prevents Flinching. This may be the reason why or how Silver is so steadfast in battles and is next to impossible to scare or surprise. Also, like all Lucario, Silver can naturally sense and use Aura at will, yet he cannot sense Finitevus' aura for some reason; a possible reason explained in the Prologue of Austin's Exile is that Finitevus' corrupted Chaos energy powers interfering with or blocking Silver's aura-sensing capabilities.
Mega Evolved: When Silver Mega Evolves, his Ability becomes Adaptability, which boosts STAB(Same Type Attack Bonus) attacks, meaning Silver gets an Adaptability-STAB boost to Power-Up Punch(Fighting), Aura Sphere(Fighting), and Metal Claw(Steel) when he Mega Evolves.
Skills
Despite the fact that Pokemon cannot use more than four moves, Silver has gained the unusual ability to use Protect purely through his Aura. This may be because he is descended from Master Lucario, and descendants of Mega Force Pokemon typically have incredible abilities that surpass those of Pokemon that aren't descended from Mega Force warriors, even if they are of the same species(i.e. Silver and Leah could be considered stronger than a regular Lucario). It will be mentioned in the currently unnamed upcoming story that Silver's powers are possibly at the same level as Finitevus', and that a fight between the two would end in a stalemate because of Finitevus' corrupted Chaos energy powers clashing with Silver's purer natural Aura.
Weaknesses
As with all Lucario, Silver is a Fighting-Steel Type, and is weak to Psychic, Fighting, Ground, and Fire-Type Pokemon, with an Immunity to Poison-Types, and a resistance to Rock, Normal, Ice, Bug, Grass, and Steel-Type Pokemon. He cannot touch Ghost-Type Pokemon with Fighting-Type moves(due to Ghost-Types' natural Immunity to Fighting and Normal-Type Pokemon), and has a Type Advantage over Normal, Dark, Rock, Steel, Fairy, and Ice-Types.
Trivia
As a Lucario, Silver speaks through telepathy, yet his dialogue is shown in quotation marks. When he actually speaks with someone through their aura, his dialogue isn't in quotations, and is italicized. The reasons for this are unknown.
In The Villain's Reveal, Silver will somehow travel back through time and learn of Finitevus' past. A concept is that he meets Finitevus prior to him going mad and unexpectedly befriending him, only to fight him after Finitevus goes mad and brings Eggman's forces to destroy Albion.
- Additionally, Silver will be shown detecting the future of others. While the reasons for this are unknown, it's possible that it is because of Silver's ability to sense and use Aura and the fact that his abilities are much greater than those of a regular Lucario given his relation to Master Lucario.
