Saurius is a Tropius character in the fanfiction Lucki, about the original trainer Lucki Middling. Lucki meets him in Chapter Eleven after her pokemon are stolen by Team Magma, when the injured Tropius makes a failed attempt to attack two Team Magma grunts who have captured the rest of his herd. She quickly gives him the Sitrus berries she collected, allowing him to recover quickly enough that he manages to fly the two of them away just before Team Magma would have attacked, although his leaf wings have been badly damaged and shortly become useless and wilt off. He grows new ones by Chapter Thirteen but during the intervening time is earthbound.
