It was Mid-day afternoon, a warm breeze just started blowing gent;y though the trees of the forest; rustling though the lush green leafs. A lone Pikachu was resting nearby with his back leaning against a tree. This Pikachu was among many others that occupied the forest. His name was Feign. The chu belonged to a group of Pikachus that have lived in this forest for generations. Feign tended to wander off and often wanted to be alone. It didn't help that he was scolded by the Alpha Raichu on a daily basis. The Alpha often would scold him for not taking care of his responsibilities. Scolding him as if a Father would.

Everyone had a role to play in the group. Sentries were look outs. Looking out for dangers; such as trainers and other Pokemon that could be a threat. Sentries had to be fast, quick on their feet, and have a great sense of direction. Warriors were in charge of defending the nest. Warriors were hand picked by the Alpha himself. Warriors had to be tough and have great electricity control when it came to fighting. Only the strongest of the strong could become warriors, hence why Feign was stuck in the lowest job; gatherer. These individuals were in charge of gathering food for the nest. Food from berries, apples, and anything edible basically. Feign thought this was the most boring job. Usually he would return from his scavenging with only a few berries. Which is hardly enough. This caused the Alpha to appoint other Pikachus to pick up the slack.

Instead of gathering food as he was ordered to, he often would spend his time training alone in the forest. His dream was to one day excel to the rank to warrior. He was never a good fighter, but he always tried the best he could. Often resulting in him embarrassing himself. He was the only one in the group that hasn't mastered thundershock. A key move for Pikachu survival. Feign tried numerous times but all he could manage was a little static discharge from his cheeks even as a little pichu.

Feign opened his eyes and decided to try again. He got up and focused on his target, a Pecha berry. Numerous times he tried to thundershock the Pecha berry, but to no avail. He picked it up in his paws and concentrated as hard as he could. He closed his eyes tight and tried to focus his mind. He imagined himself electrifying the Pecha berry. Just scorching it to a crisp, black and charred. However, all he could muster was a light buzz from his cheeks. He opened his eyes only to find the Pecha berry unharmed. He cursed to himself. A Pikachu not knowing thundershock was like a Pidgey that couldn't fly. Flustered from his multiple tries he threw the Pecha berry at the tree as hard as he could. The Pecha berry hit with a loud thud, the sound reverberated though the forest. He kicked the ground just as hard. Causing grass and dirt to go flying into the air.

Tears started to form around his eyes in his frustration. He then leaned back on the tree again and collapsed on the ground his eyes fell as he began to cry. Tears just rolling one by one off his face. "Its useless", he thought to himself. "Why should now be any different?" He looked up a moment from his sulking and saw a Pokemon suddenly appear in the cleaning, staring at him. The Pokemon moved like a ghost, not making a sound as he appeoched. This was a Pokemon in which the likes of Feign had never seen. He's seen the common variety such as Pidgey, Spearow and Occasionally a few Buizel by the river. He was Bluish in appearance with single metal spikes appearing on the top of its chest and the backs of its paws. It had pointed ears, and Its eyes were a bold crimson. The eyes looks frightening, but somehow not threatening.

Feign got up and quickly wiped the tears from his eyes and took a defensive position. "This strange Pokemon could be a threat to the nest", He franticly thought. The Pokemon just continued to stare at Feign and moved a bit closer. A small smile started to crack on its face. It finally spoke, "Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you" Sounding reassuring. Feign remembered what the Alpha told him what to do in these situations. If you see a Pokemon whom you don't recognized come straight back to the nest. As always, Feign decided to ignore the Alphas warnings and decided instead to feed his growing curiosity.

Feign contemplated and analyzed the Pokemon before saying "Then, why are you here?"

"You see I have this innate gift to sense others emotions, even from a distance. I felt like a Pokemon was in trouble so I decided to see what was the matter"

"If that's the case then you've got the wrong Pokemon. No one is in trouble around here." Feign crossed his arms and gave the stranger an agitated look . The blue Pokemon began to snicker. "What's so funny" Feign protested.

"You know your cute when you make that face." The blue Pokemon told him with a big grin flashing his sharp looking fangs.

"Cute?" Feign was taken aback by this comment as a slight blush formed on his yellow face. No one really complimented him in this way. Especially coming from another male, it was hard to take in such a nice complement; even with this spur of the moment with a complete stranger. He broke eye contact with the Pokemon and looked away to regain his composure. When he looked back up the Pokemon appeared just a few inches in front of him. Feign let out a small yelp of surprise and fell backwards. Before Feign could hit the tree behind the Pokemon grabbed his arms and pulled him forward preventing him from falling. After Feign regained his balance the strange Pokemon started to laugh again. "Let go of me!" Feign screamed deliberately.

The blue Pokemon laughed again. "I'm not holding onto you." lifting his paws up

Feign realized that he was the one actually holding on. Both paws in fact were firmly holding on to his. Feign looked at the Pokemon face. He was smiling. Those crimson eyes of his seemed to penetrate his very being. He let go quickly and looked away once more.

"Look kid don't get so worked up I just want to help you out" He let out another laugh.

Feign gaze returned to the blue Pokemon "My names not kid its Feign." He said flustered "Also I don't need any help."

"I beg to differ" He said coolly. He spoke so pristinely that Feign felt it hard to believe him. He seemed shady in a way that if he wasn't careful he could end up getting hurt.

"I know what's wrong." He said this with a certain preciseness that Feign found a little creepy. "You are a Pikachu; for whatever reason. That has yet to learn the move thundershock. Remarkable in a way. An electric Pokemon not knowing any electric moves." He gave Feign a curt smile. "Am I dead on?"

He was dead on. Shock hit Feign as his eyes fell "Ho... How did you kno...." Before he could finish the Pokemon kneeled to eye level and placed his right hand on Feigns head. He brushed his paw back and forth quickly a few times messing with Feigns head fur.

"I just know ok. I can help you, you know." He added sincerely. He took he right paw off of Feigns head and placed it in front of him palm up. "I wanna help you."

Feign quickly fixed the top of his head and stared at the paw in front of him. He thought a moment. "Could this stranger be telling the truth or could this be a trap? He seems sincere. Can he really help me?" Feign contemplated. Others have tried to teach him before, but with limited to no results at all. "Could he know a secret that the others don't know?" His mind trailed to that one comment that was said earlier. When he said he was cute. "Was he serious or was he just being facetious?"

The blue Pokemon began to laugh again. "What?" Feign said, now getting a little agitated. He felt that this stranger was being rude just laughing out of turn like that. Almost like there was something he found amusing that no one else knew about

" Oh nothing." The Pokemon said slyly. Feigns eyes fell again. "Look I'm not going bite you." He gently placed his paw on Feign chin and forced it up so they made eye contact. "Unless you want me too...." He gave Feign a serious look. Those eyes of his were mesmerizing. That stare pierced Feigns very soul, almost as if he could see into it. Feign found them kind, nurturing in a way. If he looked long enough he felt like he could become lost in those eyes. They were almost hypnotic. Once again a bright red blush emitted from Feign face.

"Uh..." Was all Feign could get out. The blue Pokemon busted out laughing once again.

"Look Feign I'm just messing with you." He said and smacked Feign on the shoulder. Perhaps a little too hard to his liking. Feign snapped out of his hypnotic stupor and stumbled forward with the force of the hit. He could tell that the pokemon was very strong.

"Yeah... Funny..." Feign gave a weak laugh and cracked a smiled. He rubbed his shoulder where he was smacked. The blue Pokemon placed his paw back in front of Feign, palm up.

"Do you trust me?"

"Yeah... I guess" Feign hesitantly placed his paw in the strangers. The light blush returned. Few Pokemon were really this nice to him.

"Well come on." The blue Pokemon began to sound a little impatient. He started to lead Feign to a clearing nearby. Walking hand in hand Feign realized he didn't know the Pokemon's name or what kind of Pokemon he was for that matter.

"Um... I wanted to ask you."

"Yeah?" he replied, not slowing down.

"What kind of Pokemon are you?"

The Blue Pokemon stopped dead and turned to meet Feigns gaze. He leaned in close to Feign. "How rude of me." He said Apologetically. "I'm a Lucario, but you can call me Lu." He gave Feign one more large grin, stood up, and continued on.

"A Lucario...." The Pikachu repeated to himself.
