Lucca was first mentioned in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One) by Liko when she talking to her roommate that she befriend named Ann. She and her husband recommended Indigo Academy as the place where Liko would attend in the hopes of finding her goal.

In Arboliva's Forest, Friede mentioned that he was awaiting contact from her. Lucca made her first physical appearance in the next episode. Meeting Friede in a library in Artazon, Lucca told Friede the story about the Ancient Adventurer, and how the story was connected with the two ancient Poké Balls that Liko and Roy had. Friede also asked her if she knew anything about Liko's pendant since she was her mother, and she told him that she didn't know much about it, as it belonged to her mother, Diana. She also revealed that Diana had given the pendant to Liko as a good-luck charm.
In Reunion at the Ancient Castle!, Diana revealed to Liko that she and Lucca had frequent contact about the journey Liko had been on with the Rising Volt Tacklers.
