He first appeared during {{Ash}}'s visit to the museum where he explained the history of the city and the [[Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare]] or DMA for short. Ash got distracted by the presence of {{OBP|Bianca|M05}}, whom he thought was the seemingly normal girl he had saved earlier, but she was actually {{OBP|Latias|M05}} disguised as her. He was then scolded by Lorenzo for absentmindedly leaning on the DMA.

Ash followed Bianca and Latias to the [[Secret Garden (location)|secret garden]] of {{OBP|Latios|M05}} and Latias. Lorenzo arrived just in time to prevent Latios from attacking Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, and allowed Latias to play with them. He showed Ash the [[Soul Dew]]'s resting place, a pool of water. Lorenzo then explained that he knew the father of the two Guardians, and went onto protect Latios and Latias after their father's death. As Lorenzo, Bianca, and Ash left the garden, they cut through Lorenzo's workshop where he constructs gondolas.

That night, Lorenzo was later incapacitated by {{OBP|Annie|M05}}'s {{p|Espeon}}. He was later found by Bianca, and they rushed to the museum where they were captured and bound by {{p|Ariados}}. They could only watch helplessly as [[Oakley]] used the DMA, and Latios suffered the consequences. Ash, Latias, and Pikachu came to save them and stopped the DMA. Lorenzo warned Annie not to touch the corrupted Soul Dew, but she ignored the warning. Annie touching the corrupted Soul Dew caused the DMA to go out of control, to ruinous effects. Lorenzo was present at Latios's sacrifice and was the first to realize that he had died. The following morning, Lorenzo took Ash and the others out in one of his gondolas to search for the guardians. While Latias was located, Latios confirmed that he had sacrificed himself to protect the city, and gifted Lorenzo and Bianca a new Soul Dew.
