#7 of I Love You Lucario...


Finally! It is here! Here is chapter 7! Enjoy! :D

"I have to tell you something." Lucario said with a gulp. "Something important....that I think you should know..."

"What is it Lucario?" said Mark with anticipation in his voice.

"It's that I......uhhh..." Lucario stammered trying to get the words out, but he couldn't. He got nervous and forgot what he was going to say.

"It's that.....you're the coolest guy I've ever met, and I'm glad we're friends..." There was about a ten second silence before anyone said anything.

"...Oh...no problem then, It's my pleasure." Said Mark giving a quick smile then looking down at the ground. There was another silence, this time longer. The wind was blowing the tall brown grass and there was a slight breeze.

"Umm Lucario?"

"Yes Mark?"

"You want a tour of the town?"

"Oh yes, I would like that!" said the little Lucario excitedly jumping up and following Mark. It took them about thirty minutes to walk to town. They first came to a restaurant named "The Chow Platter". Lucario licked his lips as he smelled the savory smells coming from inside the building.

"We can stop by later and get something to eat if you want."

"Oh, thank you Mark but, you don't have to." said Lucario sheepishly.

"No, it's my pleasure, the food is really good. Pokémon are allowed inside to eat with humans. It's a really great place." said Mark.

"Ok, if you insist Mark." said Lucario smiling. A sudden breeze blew chilling the little dog pokémon causing him to shiver. He looked up at Mark to see he was also shivering a little. He laughed for a while at Mark wrapping his arms around himself to keep warm.

"What funny?"

"Huh? Oh nothing, don't worry about it." replied the Lucario still smiling. Mark shot him a "wonder what he's up to gaze" then shrugged it off. They walked for about three minutes before coming up to the doors of a bank. All of a sudden, two men dressed up in very odd uniforms came running out of the doors nearly trampling Mark. They were each carrying brown bags over their shoulders and running as fast as they could. Their uniforms were strange, with black pants and silver shoes and shirts. There was also a weird orange symbol in the center of their uniform, which appeared to be, the letter "G".

"Hey come back here! Where do you think you're going?!" said another man that ran out of the bank. He was an older man, dressed up in a nice suit.

"Later losers! Thanks for the money!" shouted back one of the oddly dressed men.

"Quick someone call the police! screamed the man in the suit. "We need to catch them!" Mark quickly ran up to the man in the suit who was unaware of his presence.

"Excuse me sir, what's going on? Who were those people?" asked Mark.

"It was Team Galactic, they stole a bunch of money from the bank! They're going to get away!" Mark remembered the name from the news on TV. Team Galactic was responsible for causing lots of chaos and trouble all over Sinnoh.

"No they won't sir, we'll help you!" said Mark proudly. Lucario looked up at his owner in bewilderment.

"Oh really?! Oh thank you, thank you! Please hurry!" said the suited man. He seemed pretty happy to be receiving help. This money must have been important.

"Don't worry sir, they won't get away! Come on Lucario lets move!" shouted Mark shortly before bolting off.

"Wait what?!" replied the Lucario seeing his companion running towards the direction of the robbers. "Oh joy..." finished the pokémon before chasing after Mark. Mark ran for about 2 minutes before he could finally see the robbers.

"Hey you there! Stop!" shouted Mark at the top of his lungs. The robbers turned to see and angry Mark and Lucario behind them.

"Holy shit man, step on it!" said one of the robbers.

"Why?

"Look!" said the first robber pointing behind them.

"You're scared of some dumbass kid and his dog?"

"No its just that..."

"Oh hell, I'll deal with this." Said the second robber stopping and turning to face the pair. Mark stopped about ten yards away from the robbers and pointed at them.

"I advise you make a wise decision and hand over the money Galactic!" shouted Mark. Lucario growled and got in his signature fighting stance.

"Or what? You and your little dog gonna teach us a lesson?" replied the robber laughing his head off. The other joined in and they laughed for a few seconds. Mark put his hand down and smiled.

"Wow, how did you guess? I guess you guys aren't as stupid as you look."

"Who the hell do you think you are by calling us stupid?! I should teach you some manners you punk! Go Golbat!" said the robber throwing his pokéball high into the air. Before it hit the ground it stopped in mid air and shot out a jagged beam of red light. The light formed a figure in mid air, and then the figure turned solid and let out a loud screech. "Golbat, attack!" The strange flying creature let out another screech and flew directly at Lucario. The dog pokémon's eyes widened and quickly dodged the enemies attack. The Golbat quickly came back around to it's trainer.

"Hey what the hell are you doing you idiot! Send out your pokémon!" screamed the robber to his partner.

"Oh, right, sorry." said the obviously new recruit nervously. "Go, Murkrow!" shouted the young Galactic member as he threw his pokéball into the air. The figure that emerged was a short and stocky little black bird with a yellow beak and feet. It spread its short wingspan and made a loud squawking sound.

"Well go on, make it attack!"

"Right, sorry sir....I was just..."

"Just do it already!" said the apparent superior slapping his hand against his forehead.

"Ok, Murkrow, use wing attack!" With that the Murkrow took off into the air and heading straight for the Lucario. The small bird's wings turned a bright white as it zoomed in on its target. Lucario just quickly shut his eyes and put his hands together.

"Lucario what are you doing?! It's coming right at you! Get out of the way!" shouted Mark from the sidelines. As the Murkrow was right in front of its target, Lucario slightly leaned to the right giving just enough clearance for the attack to miss. The Murkrow flew back around and swooped back down to attack again. This time Lucario jumped up in the air and suddenly opened his eyes. He turned in mid air towards his enemy and came down on the small bird with a quick attack. The Murkrow was blown out of the air, straight into the ground and was knocked unconscious. The Lucario landed gracefully on both feet back into his original stance.

"Whoa Lucario what was that?! I've never seen anything like that before!"

"My previous trainer was a combat master, I learned everything from her, she is the best martial artist in Sinnoh." replied the Lucario smiling at his next foe.

"Ah you dumb recruits, you can never do anything right! No matter, you won't beat me you brat! If your dog wants to play, I'll play!" said the robber laughing in confidence. "Get ready kiddies, here is terror! Golbat! Use supersonic!" The Golbat made an assuring grunt before it let out a loud deafening screech that shattered all the nearby windows. Lucario and Mark cringed at the sound covering their ears in pain. Lucario fell to his knees due to the impact of the intense noise blasting inside his head. He looked up and raised one of his arms. A blue light began to surround the pokémon's hand and soon a beam of light shot out at the Golbat. The light formed a small bubble around the flying bat like pokémon causing its own attack to backfire on itself. The Golbat's eyes rolled around and it began to foam at the mouth profusely. Lucario cancelled the attack and the bubble disappeared. The Golbat fell to the ground in somewhat of a seizure. The trainer of the Golbat only stared in horror at what had happened to his pokémon.

"What....what...what the hell?! What the hell did you do to my Golbat." shouted the man before running over to his pokémon. "You bastards, you will pay for this!"

"Stop wasting your breath and hand over the money!" replied Mark.

"Fuck you!" shouted the robber.

"Ok, you asked for it, get him Lucario." The Lucario looked back at his trainer and nodded before he shot forward at the man and punched him hard in the stomach. The robber flew back onto the ground gasping for air while his comrade tried to help him. Lucario walked over and picked up both of the bags filled with money and walked back to Mark. Both of the men were up by now and had returned their pokémon to their balls. Lucario gave a quick dark glare in their direction and watched and turned and ran. Soon after a few police cars came by with one stopping right in front of Mark and Lucario. A police woman with long blue hair stepped out and greeted them.

"Where did the robbers go? Is that the money they stole?" asked the officer.

"Uhh, yes it is." replied Mark indicating to Lucario to hand over the bags to the officer. "The robbers ran down that road, they can't be too far." The officer signaled the two other cars to go on ahead.

"Whats your name kid?"

"Umm, its Mark. Mark Ledford."

"Thank you so much Mark, Galactic has been such a pain around the region recently, probably planning something. Anyways thanks again, we'll be sure to return the money to the bank owner and tell him you got it back for us."

"Oh, ok, and it was no problem, no problem at all."

"Do you need a ride home kid, I mean Mark?" asked the officer.

"No, it's alright, we can walk."

"Ok, thanks again, be safe."

"Uh-huh, sure thing, come on Lucario." With that the two started walking back home through the town. They walked past the delicious smelling restaurant again with Mark picking up on it this time.

"You still wanna eat?" asked Mark with a tired expression.

"Not really." replied the Lucario with the same tired expression.

"Man what a day."

"You said it." They both gave a tired laugh before becoming silent again. They didn't talk for the whole rest of the walk home. It was starting to get late in the afternoon now. It was a bit colder than earlier and the wind was blowing a bit stronger now. Mark unlocked and opened the front door when he reached it and the pair walked inside. They both stumbled their way upstairs and into Mark's room. Mark was the first to collapse on the bed landing on his back with Lucario shortly after laying next to his trainer. Mark wrapped an arm around his pokémon but Lucario was too exhausted to feel embarrassed. They both fell into a deep sleep and dreamed about their adventures of that day.

"Mark! Mark!"

"What?!" yelled Mark waking up to his mother calling for him. Lucario sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"There is some man on the phone, he says he wants to speak to you, get your butt down here!"

"Oh for Mew's sake, I'm coming!" replied Mark still groggily climbing out of bed. He stepped out of his room and walked down into the kitchen, the cold tile shocking his feet with its icy touch.

"Who is it mom?"

"I don't know, he says he know you and wants to talk to you." replied Jennifer handing Mark the phone.

"Hello?"
