In {{v2|Platinum}}, he mentions that he lived on Iron Island for a long time and so feels out of place when visiting the [[Villa]]. Along with those visits, he can also be battled again at the [[Battleground]] in Platinum. He also battles the player in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} in [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. | ||

Prior to ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', Byron left his position as the {{ci|Oreburgh}} [[Gym Leader]] to his son [[Roark]] after the [[Pokémon League]] informed him there was a vacancy at the [[Canalave Gym]]. The transfer also allowed Byron to continue his hobby of digging for [[fossil]]s on nearby [[Iron Island]], hence the [[Gym]]'s closure from ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' to ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]''. | |||
In ''Ancient Family Matters!'', Roark traveled to [[Canalave City]] to confront Byron over his absence from the family. The two argued, which escalated into a {{pkmn|battle}}. [[Byron's Bastiodon]] and [[Roark's Rampardos]] were evenly matched, but the battle was interrupted after {{TRT}} set off alarms when they stole Byron's fossil collection. They joined forces to defeat Team Rocket and {{AP|Pikachu}} sent Team Rocket blasting off. Later, Byron revealed that he had always treasured a fossil of a {{p|Sunkern}}'s leaf that Roark had given to him as a child ten years earlier. As a result, Roark accepted that his father did care about him all along. | |||

Ash called out his {{AP|Buizel}}, but it was surprised by {{p|Steelix}}'s {{m|Screech}} attack and quickly lost the match. Chimchar won the round after it weakened the battleground with {{m|Dig}}, and Steelix was left vulnerable to Chimchar's super-effective {{t|Fire}} attacks. Byron sent out his Bastiodon, and it knocked Chimchar out. In the final match, [[Ash's Gliscor]] defeated Bastiodon despite its showcased speed and resilience, earning Ash the {{Badge|Mine}}. | ||
Byron briefly appeared during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. | |||
He | ===Character=== | ||
Byron is prone to bragging about the ironclad {{stat|defense}}s his Pokémon. He is also extremely enthusiastic about [[fossil]]s and dig-holes. Byron's mostly defensive battling style makes it hard for opponents to break through and deal damage to his Pokémon, even if they have a [[type]] advantage. | |||

Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage.
