|catchepname=

Prior to meeting [[Roy]], {{p|Fuecoco}} was a [[wild Pokémon]] living in [[Paldea]]. At some point, it came across the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and joined them on their journey around the world aboard the [[Brave Asagi]], after coming to admire [[Friede's Charizard]].

Fuecoco debuted in [[HZ002]]. It was first seen welcoming [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to the Brave Asagi alongside {{p|Pawmi}}. During the [[Explorers]]' attack on the ship, Fuecoco joined [[Friede's Charizard]] to help [[Orla]] fuel the ship's combustion engine.

In [[HZ004]], Fuecoco got surprised by Liko during one of its singing practices sessions and ran away. After the Brave Asagi made a emergency landing to fix some patches, Fuecoco accidentally slid from the aircraft and landed in the [[Roy's hometown|island]]'s shore. It stole some {{Berries}} from the local wild Pokémon and food from Roy's [[Secret Base]] before being found by the boy, who had heard its singing from afar. Fuecoco got embarassed and tried to run away, only for it to almost fall from a cliff if not for Roy's quick thinking. They bonded a little, and the boy encouraged it to sing. After hearing a nearby commotion, Roy and Fuecoco both ran toward it and helped [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to run away from the wild Pokémon. They, however, did not give up on their hunt and succesffully captured them after Fuecoco failed to launch an {{m|Ember}} to scare them away. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and Fuecoco had to part ways with Roy.

In [[HZ005]], Fuecoco was informed by [[Mollie]] that Roy came looking for it the night before and had gifted it some Berries after not being able to find it. Wanting to see him again, Fuecoco hurried out of the aircraft and spotted the Explorers in the sea. After finding Roy, Fuecoco frantically told him that something was wrong. They partnered to face off against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}, and Fuecoco was finally able to use Ember with some encouragement in the form of singing from Roy.

In [[HZ006]], Fuecoco joined in the fight against [[Amethio]] and battled alongside Sprigatito against his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}. Despite being two against one, Ceruledge was clearly dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}} emerged from Roy's ancient {{i|Poké Ball}}, resulting in Amethio and the other Explorers retreating. After being healed by Mollie, Friede's Charizard gave it a Poké Ball, which it presented to Roy when he returned to the Brave Asagi and allowed Roy to catch it. Afterwards, they set off on the Brave Asagi, with Roy becoming a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

As first seen in [[HZ002]], Fuecoco greatly admires [[Friede's Charizard]] and looks up to it, wanting to help and be around it all the time, even becoming upset when the Flame Pokémon is not around. [[Mollie]] theorized that the reason why Fuecoco was on the Brave Asagi to begin with was to be with Charizard. Fuecoco also wants to become strong like Charizard and enjoys watching it no matter what it was doing. In addition, Fuecoco seems to be very good friends with Charizard.

Roy and Fuecoco quickly formed a strong bond after meeting each other, as they thought about each other even when they were apart, as seen in [[HZ005]], when they wanted to see each other again. Their bond has led them to become partners, as seen in the [[HZ006|next episode]], when Fuecoco stored a {{i|Poké Ball}} inside its mouth so Roy could catch it. Fuecoco, like its Trainer, is excited to battle. It would often give its all, but doesn't feel bad about losing, especially when Roy assures it that it tried its best. They are also almost identical in personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another.

* Fuecoco is the first Pokémon since [[Dawn's Ambipom]] to be owned by a main character that was introduced ''before'' the character, since Fuecoco debuted in [[HZ002]] with [[Roy]] himself debuting at the end of [[HZ003]].
