What's up everyone? Hope you're doing well....as for me, I've been better....won't say why though since I'm trying to be more positive than I how I really feel. So, let's recap on what happened.

Lucario and Lucas, after a little bit of time, actually got into more sex....oooh, now THAT is something we all love, don't we? Now then, after that they began talking and Lucario told Lucas the reason why he never trusted humans when they first met....well, I certainly wouldn't if I was treated that way.....but, frankly, who would hurt a dragon (well, besides Tal from UnFurled.com......and he changed to a bull as is STILL "beaten" by his cast mates)?

But enough of that, let's get on with the story....but first, the warning label.

............................

(Normal POV)

"Hmm, once again he seems to push his bond with his Pokémon farther......at this rate, it will be difficult for him to choose his final path after his confrontation." Said a voice, seemingly talking to itself; Lucas could instantly recognize it: it belonged to the blue figure "But I have faith he chooses well and without any regrets."

"Azelf...." Lucas muttered to himself; the figure almost seemed delighted to hear him.

"Ah, so you have found out who I am....yes, I am Azelf....the Being of Willpower." The figure seemed to be wiped of all haze in front of Lucas's eyes, the Pokémon being revealed clearly as the Legendary: his body was tinted a light blue with his head being a darker shade; a red gem was latched into its forehead, similar to a carbuncle of mythology, along with two others being in the tails that stretched outward; the golden-like eyes were hypnotizing to the human, yet he was able to resist its power to speak by shaking his head.

"Tell me....why am I getting these visions? What's special about me?" he asked. Azelf merely smiled.

"All will be revealed in time, Lucas....I promise you....you, as well as your fellow comrades, are in charge of a great burden....one that, if you fail, can lead to the destruction of your dimension...."

"And that of Dialga and Polkia's....I understand." Lucas acknowledge.

"Good....I must return with the rest of the council....I applaud you for summoning me.....only will it, and I shall come to aid you...." He smiled and soon vanished.

With that, Lucas felt himself being stirred from outside; the voice was gentle and serene.

....................

"Lucas, time to wake up....." Lucario muttered, his paw gently caressing his mate's cheek; Lucas rolled over and slowly opened his eyes, smiling.

"Good morning, love." Lucario whispered, kissing Lucas's forehead. Lucas smiled wider and rested his head in Lucario's chest gently, wrapping his arms around the warm, soft Pokémon.

"'Morning, Lukey. Sleep well?" Lucas asked, leaning up and stretching a bit; the Pokémon nodded, smiling a little foolishly at the thought of why he did.

"That's good, me too.....probably one of my better nights asleep....usually I can't fall asleep very fast....but, last night, I was out like a light." Lucas said honestly; he stood up and scratched his head...then began patting his hair down so it wasn't looking stupid; Lucario just giggled as he was still laying down. Lucas seemed confused.

"I woke you up a bit early...you know, so we had a little more time together..." Lucario blushed a bit, smiling to himself; the trainer seemed a little idiotic after hearing this, then sat back down on the sleeping bag and rested his head on Lucario's chest, again being thankful that he didn't have a chest pike like most.

"Hey, Lucario....why is it that you don't have a spike on your chest like most other Lucario's?" he asked. Lucario just shrugged.

"Beats me, never had one when I evolved...." Lucas shrugged as well.

"Go figure."

"Anything else you wanna ask?" Lucario questioned: he wanted Lucas to know as much about him as he could; the human thought for a moment....

"Well....how is it that, with me being a little over 5 feet, you're taller than me? Lucarios are, usually, just about 4 feet....I should be a good foot higher than you....." Lucario sighed, a little unsure himself.

"I don't know....maybe I was just born like that....maybe something happened and I can't remember.....I'm sorry if I'm different than most others..."

"No, no....I LOVE that you're different: it makes you special....not that you need to be different to be special...." Lucas blushed, finding how stupid that sounded coming from him; Lucario, seeing how mushy that sounded, laughed a bit and rested a paw on Lucas's shoulder and pulled him a bit closer.

"Yeah, I am....I'm with you." Lucas blushed and turned around to face his Pokémon, scooting in closer and hugging him lovingly; the Pokémon did the same, wrapping his furry arms around the human's waist. Gently, he began to scratch Lucas's back with his small, almost invisible black claws. The human let out a gentle murmur.

"Mmm....that feels nice..." Lucas whispered, resting his head on Lucario's shoulder; he shifted himself until he was right on top of the Pokémon, looking straight down into his eyes....then leaned in and sealed his lips to the Pokémon's "I love you."

"I love you, too." Lucario muttered as he kissed Lucas back lovingly; Lucas's arms wrapped around the Pokémon's neck gently, staying closed to his lover as the Pokémon scratched his back gently.

The two gently kissed each other for a little longer before they broke it and just relaxed for a little while longer.

"Hey, Lucario?" Lucas asked, drawing the Lucario's attention.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"What would happen.....if we were separated again? Like in Jubilife?" Lucas questioned.

"Why bring that up all of a sudden?"

"Well.....I don't know....I just......" Lucas took a deep breath "I guess I'm scared I might lose you again when we reach Hearthome....it's just as big, if not bigger, than Jubilife." Lucario just chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"Would it make you feel better if I wore a collar and leash?" he joked; Lucas giggled and shook his head.

"I'm just worried that we might get separated again."

"Don't worry: I've been practicing my aura lately. So far, I can sense aura up to a mile away; yours if very definite, so if we get lost I can sense it and be able to find you.......I promise: we won't stay far apart." Lucario eased him, smiling happily. Lucas smiled as well, glad that, at least, they wouldn't be separated for long.

"Alright, I'm glad...." Lucas said, sighing.

.......................................

About ten minutes later everyone was up and about: Lexi, along with Flygon, went to try and find the Berry Master since he was near Hearthome.....needless to say, they returned with a basket full of berries; Gallade and Monferno started packing up the sleeping bags and putting them into Lucas's backpack; Lucas and Lucario, much to everyone else's annoyance, began planning for how they'd make it into the city.

"Shouldn't there be a man-made pathway into the city through the woods?" Lucario asked, looking over the map with Lucas.

"Yeah, but it's down more Southern and it winds right back up here," Lucas explained, running his finger along the trail "it'd be easier if we just cut through the forest here: it's not very thick, and we'd be in the city much faster than taking the other path...maybe in about a half hour, hour at the most...." He trailed off when he reached the time: he wanted to get to the towns and get the badges, so far, extremely quickly; he's seen the wear it's been down to his Pokémon: he voted that he would take it easier and try not to put so much stress on them anymore than before.

"You're the trainer!" Lucario said enthusiastically, standing back up and helping Lucas to his feet.

Everyone got back to the other two, wanting to hear the verdict.

"Okay, we're going to cut through the forest over there: it'll shave off some time heading into the city, luckily we'll make it and get some lunch; we can take a breather in there for the rest of the time too since we're not in any rush," Lucas explained, smiling and looking to the little girl "and, I'm sure, Lex here would like to see the Contest Hall since she's planning on becoming a coordinator."

Lexi's eyes widened as she squealed in joy, jumping up and down a bit in excitement.

"What're we waiting for? Let's go!" she peppy-ed out. Everyone, sighing, began walking and they were soon on their way to Hearthome.

................................

(Lucas's POV)

After a few minutes we delved into the forest....and, right off the bat, I regretted choosing this route: if we weren't in a hurry, like I claimed, then we would've gone around and took the man-made path farther down south.

Everyone was both spread out and huddled together, much like we always were: Lexi and Flygon at the head, Monferno and Gallade in the middle, and me and Lucario keeping up the rear....but, for some reason, I stuck closer with Monferno and Gallade than I usually did......bringing Lucario with me.

"Lucas is something wrong?" the Blade Pokémon asked me, turning around and facing me. It took me surprise when he did that, bringing everyone to a halt and facing me.

"Yeah, you've been a little tense ever since we entered the forest....." Monferno added in; Lucario's paw rested on my shoulder, squeezing it gently.

"Lucas?" he asked me. I shook my head, forcing a smile: it was an obvious façade that they saw....but, I guess, it helped ease their thoughts.

"I-I'm fine.....just......" I started, looking down.....but I shook my head and continued "it's nothing, I'm okay."

"Are you sure? You want to take a break?" Gallade offered.

"No, we just started...besides, if we stop now, so early on, it'll take longer to get to Hearthome......and I don't really want to be in this place longer than we need to be." I muttered, walking ahead to take the lead. Hesitantly, everyone followed behind me.

.........................

The time seemed to just stick in place as we walked, like sand running in an hourglass; the entire place was silent, not even the small Pokémon natural to the area made sounds like before......not only were we on edge, but the entire forest was too.

'Dammit, why'd I choose this way again?!' I cursed in my head, my fingered beginning to bunch up quickly.....so hard that my fingers began hurting. I uncurled my fists and shook my hand.

"Ow......" I whispered, seething gently through my teeth to myself; I looked back and everyone was silently whispering to themselves. Well, almost everyone....

'Lucario?' I thought, looking back again from my other side: I didn't see him.

As soon as I looked forward I felt gentle digits interlock with my fingers, warm fur brushing up against my bare arm; it sent shivers down my spine.

"Lucas, are you okay?" he asked me; I turned to face him: his ruby-colored eyes were gentle, sympathy noticeable in them.

I could barely form the words in my mouth as he tightened his grip and stopped.

"Hey, you guys go on ahead: Lucas and I want to talk privately for a second. We'll be right behind you."

Everyone's reaction was a little surprised....but nonetheless sped up and passed us; after a few second we were carrying the end again.

"Okay, Lucas....tell me: something's on your mind..." he trailed off, taking his paw back and holding his arms as he walked: he never took his eyes off me. I gulped a bit.

"N-nothing....it's nothing." I lied trying to speed my pace up to catch up with everyone else but a paw caught my arm and stopped me.

"Lucas," Lucario's voice rang like a bell.....one, for the first time, sounding annoying. I chuckled.

"Nothing passes you, eh Lukey?" I joked; I couldn't believe I sounded so harsh like that. Lucario caught on but merely smirked and pulled me closer into a hug.

"Of course: I can sense your thoughts and emotions.....and, right now, I can sense you're scared and nervous....what's wrong?"

I shook my head.

"I just.....I'm regretting going through this way.......I can't shake this.....bad feeling......" I answered. Lucario's head rested on mine, his cold nose pushing into my hair.

"Well, whatever happens....I'll protect you with my life.....I promise." Lucario swore to me. I smile and hug myself closer to him.

"Thank you, Lucario...." I whisper to him, starting to walk with him again and catching up with the others. He smiled, his arm wrapping around my waist.

"No need, love....it's my job as your Pokémon.....and boyfriend." He whispered, growling softly into my ear; I shuddered a bit, blushing a bit and chuckling.

"Not here....maybe when we're alone in Hearthome....." I whispered, chuckling and nuzzling up to him a bit; he snickered, kissing my head lovingly.

"Any wait is considered a tease for me...." He muttered; I guessed it was the last thing he wanted to say, because I could barely say anything....so I just stopped at my blushing, something that he snickered at and just kept me close.

.........................................

After about who-knows-how-long, I pulled out my Pokédex to try and see where exactly we were.....when it was finished loading, we were about three/fourths of the way in.

"Hey, we're almost out!" I called out to everyone; I heard sighs of relief as we kept walking through the forest; maybe things were going to stay good for us........a little silent, but still good.

'Heh, I might be jinxing it....but I think we may end up having no problems this time!' I thought, puffing out my chest a bit in pride and smiling. Lucario chuckled and looked over to me.

"Happy to be out of here?" he asked; I nodded.

"I said something to myself.....I just hope I didn't jinx our good luck."

"I doubt it: that only works in movies." Lucario waved off the idea. I laughed once.

"How would you know? You've probably never been in a theater before!" he started laughing after that.

"Guess you have me on that.....that was, actually, something my old trainer said to me once." He said, smiling a little pathetically; I hugged tighter to him, trying to help him.

"Hey, it's okay....nothing is going to happen to make me act like that.....I'd never shun you away or act differently to you." I told him, smiling genuinely to him. He smiled and I knew he felt better now.

After that there was silence, and everyone stopped dead in their tracks; I looked to them and saw that they were facing away from us.

We met up with them.

"What's up?" I asked; they looked around, faces growing white.

"Listen." Flygon muttered. Lucario closed his eyes and lowered his head a bit, his dreadlocks rising up at hovering for a moment; they lowered after a few seconds.

"I sense other Pokémon, not much different...." He trailed off, his ears soon perking up; I looked around, trying to see if something was up....but then I finally caught onto it: very faintly, I heard the beating of wings....it was fast beating, not like any Flying type Pokémon I've heard before.

"What the....what is that?" I asked, looking around; everyone began muttering things.

"I....I think I recognize that sound.......the Pokémon is definitely Bug type.....I think Darren had one......" he growled "For Mew's sake, I should know this! I was with him for more than 3 years...." He muttered.

I thought for a moment, pulling out my Pokédex and beginning to search the entries in it.

Lucario looked over my shoulder as he watched me......but I gave up after a minute of searching.

"Gah! Too many entries....we'll just have to ignore it and keep going, we're almost out of here......it took about a half hour of walking to get here, so we should be out if we hurry." I replied, putting my PD back in my pocket.

Everyone nodded and soon we began walking again, our pace noticeable faster than before.

(Normal POV)

The entire gang, being as cautious as they could, continued their way quickly through the forest. Every once and a while they stopped to try and listen for any sounds of wings: once again they were faint.

"Whoever they belong to, they're moving with us...." Lucario warned, raising his head and trying to listen more carefully.

"You meaning....they're stalking us?" Lucas asked.

"No, not stalking....observing...." Gallade said.

"Yes, exactly. They're waiting for us to make a move." Lucario said, shaking his head.

"Let's worry about this when we're OUT of this forest!" Lexi said her voice shaky and nervous; Flygon nodded and moved close to the girl, his position a mixture of protection and fright.

Everyone nodded and continued on, but Lucas stopped dead in his tracks: his hand went for his temple, closing his eyes tightly as he was nearly double-over from a searing migraine.

Lucario looked back and was instantly at his side.

"Lucas!"

'Turn back.......I sense......danger.....' said a voice in his head, a groan of pain leaving his lips.

"A-Azelf?!" he whispered silently, the sound being remarkably similar to the Pokémon....yet his head pounded too violently for him to think straight.

'Turn back! You must!' the voice urged, disappearing soon as the pain in the trainer's head eased quickly.

"Lucas!" Lucario called, slowly helping his mate to his feet "A-are you okay? You nearly collapsed!"

"Ngh...." Lucas groaned, rubbing his head as he tried to shake it: his vision went merry-go-round, pictures and colors swimming in front of him as he tried to re-orient himself to his surroundings.....which, maybe, took about 5 seconds.

"What happened?" Lexi asked.

"I....I don't know.....but, something's telling me that whoever is watching us.....they mean harm...." Lucas said, looking around and sighing "As long as that'll take, we should head back before it's too late."

Everyone seemed reluctant; a little worried for the human.....even Lexi was scared for her brother.

Lucas shook his head and growled.

"Guys, I'm serious! I have a bad feeling that we might be in trouble!"

As if called, a loud buzzing began to ring in everyone's ears; the sound reverberated off of everything: the trees, bushes, ground, even against the group.

Everyone's hands/paws went to their ears, trying to drone out the sound that made their head ring; it was the hardest on Lucas due to his headache just a short minute ago.

"T-that sound....." Lucario muttered "I remember it! I know what it is!"

Before he had a chance to answer, it popped right in front of them.....well, about 4 or 5 of them popped up around them.

Lucas looked up and frowned, hard.

"Beedrill."

He pulled out his Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon in front of him quickly, wanting to save the archive inside; the mechanical voice rang out over the humming of the Beedrills' wings.

"Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon and the evolved form of Kakuna. Beedrill loves to stick and move-flying around at high speeds and stinging enemies, then flying away. They live in large colonies and are very territorial, becoming aggressive with trespassers both Pokémon and human alike."

"Explain why we have found you in are territory!" said the Beedrill in front of the group, gathering their attention; Lucas stepped forward automatically, his brain screaming at him "bad idea! Bad idea!"

"My name is Lucas," he said slowly "I am a trainer. My group and I were traveling through this part of the forest in hopes of reaching Hearthome. We meant no harm in stepping foot into your territory, nor did we have any knowledge of where the boundary began." Lucas tried to speak calmly to the leader, wanting to, maybe, try and appease to his "merciful" side.....if Beedrill had merciful sides: they toy with their enemies, then strike them down cold.

The leader buzzed angrily.

"Excuses!" he yelled out, rolling the "s" sounds longer than was truly needed "you have violated our territory...and, for that, we must act with force! Leave this place at once!"

"I-if you only let us continue forward just a bit more, I assure you that we will arrive in the city without any more trouble." Lucas offered, his voice becoming shaky; it sickened Lucario to see how pathetic his trainer/mate acted in front of the "over-grown butterfees with stingers"....it made him so mad he had to bite his lip to keep from growling.

The leader, still furious, never listened. He, instead, along with the others, raised stingers for arms. Lucas gulped and backed away to his group; he chuckled nervously.

"P-please....t-there's no reason to escalate to the level of using violence...we mean no harm!" he pleaded; no answer was given to him...instead, the stingers began to glow purple.

The Pokémon acted faster than the humans did: Gallade already began focusing and started using Protect on as many members as he could, Monferno's breath was slow and strong...like he was about to let rip a Flamethrower, Flygon got in front of Emily and covered her with his wings and began to raise his head....an act in using Dragon Breath, and Lucario immediately jumped in front of Lucas and wrapped his arms tightly around him to try and shield him from the inevitable attack.

Lucas held his breath and closed his eyes as soon as everyone started moving, praying that it wouldn't hurt when they attacked....but, after counting to 3, he opened an eye; Gallade was shielding them, Monferno and Flygon were using their breath attacks to beat back the attack, and Lucario was physically protecting him from their Poison Sting.

"Lucario!" Lucas gasped, worried for his Pokémon.....but, when he looked in Lucario's eyes, he didn't see any pain....

"Poison-type moves don't work on me: I'm part Steel-type, remember?" he told Lucas, smirking.

The Beedrill stopped and buzzed angrily and then took off towards the group.

"Move!" Lucario commanded, the others wasting no time in following him past the group: Lucas lead while the Aura Pokémon was in the back to draw their fire towards himself since he was their best offense.

The Beedrill started using Pin Missile, but Lucario, agilely, dodged it and retaliated with Aura Sphere. He managed to hit one of them, but it seemed that two others appeared to fill the gap.

"Ugh, for the love of Mew! How many are there?!" he asked himself, running after the group.

...................................

(Lucas's POV)

I turned my head to watch my Lucario fight off the Beedrill as often as I could without running into things, hoping he knew what he was doing.

"Lucas, don't worry: he can take care of himself." Lexi reassured me "Right now, just run!"

In a way, I appreciated that she understood...but, I was also a little pissed that she didn't see how confident I was in him....just worried about him getting hurt.

'She's right, just focus on getting everyone out!' I thought to myself, nodding to myself and trying to make my way through the forest to the city.

I occasionally kept looking back at the sound of some small impact or explosion, seeing that Lucario was trying to fend off, what looked like, 6-8 Beedrill at once.

'How many are there?!' I asked myself, sliding to a hault as I saw the entrance into Hearthome; everyone ran past me and stopped once they were past the entrance a bit.

"Lucas, come on!" Flygon called. I tried to move my feet, yet they were stuck; I turned my head and saw Lucario continue to fight off the Beedrill.

"Lucario! Come on!" I called to him; he looked back and growled, making my heart drop.

"Go! I'll catch up!" he replied, dodging a Beedrill zooming past him and countering with a roundhouse kick "I have to lead them away from the city!"

"But-" I started.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine!" he called, giving me that confident smile that he had.....yet, I couldn't help but feel my heart throb in pain from seeing: it was like he was sacrificing himself for us. I shook my head hard through my forming tears.

"No! I'm not leaving you!" I yelled back.

"Don't argue with me! GO!" he growled at me, looking to the group and nodding; before I could look back to them, I felt arms grab me and begin dragging me back.

"No! Let me go! Dammit!" I yelled and squirmed "Lucario!"

He gave me one last smile and soon ran off deeper into the forest.....

As soon as he left my sight, the others let go; my hand was stuck in place: outstretched to him when he left. I felt my legs shake and I didn't fight the gravity.....I felt onto my knees and felt my hands fall in front of me before I landed face first.

"No....." I whispered "No.....not again......"

'Why?! Why did he have to do that?! He didn't have to, dammit!' I cursed in my head, squinting my eyes and biting my lip as hard as I could so I wouldn't start sobbing; my hand formed a fist and I slammed the ground as hard as I could.....my hands shook hard and made it sound weak.

"Dammit!" I yelled; I could tell I scared everyone behind me from my sudden outburst "Damn you, Lucario! Why the hell did you have to pull that 'self-sacrificing' shit on me?! And now of all times?!" I cursed out-loud. I slammed my weak fist on the ground again, trying to beat the ground and blame it for making Lucario do that.....for running.

"Lucas...." I heard a soft voice behind me. I looked behind me and saw it was my own sister: her face was in distress, along with the rest of the group. I instantly felt even worse: here I was, making a huge scene in front of them.....what a bitch I must be.

I tried to force a smile across my face as I wiped the tears from my eyes with my arm: the dirt on my hand irritated my already swollen eyes.....but I tried to not make it noticeable.

"You gonna be okay?" Monferno asked me; I tried to smile again, but nodded instead when I could barely make the attempt.

"Yeah....I'll be fine." I said, taking a deep breath to stay calm "he said he'd be back...so I'll wait until then.....then I'll beat him myself for doing something like that!" I chuckled a bit, the mere thought making me feel better....but only for the moment.

The moment, I guess, was enough to please them since they didn't pester me any further; I hung my head low and followed them, taking one last look at the forest.

'Please be okay, Lucario....' I thought, turning around and following the others into the city.

...........................

After about a half hour we were all settled in the Pokémon Center; we had two rooms: one for me and my Pokémon, and another for my sister and Flygon (she insisted on having her privacy....which, I guess, included Flygon now).

I dropped my backpack on the bed in a heap, laying on my back on the bed in exhaustion: it felt nice, but the feeling was bittersweet to me: Lucario was still gone. How long would he be away?

"Don't worry, Lucas," Monferno said as he turned on the TV and sitting himself in front of it "he'll be back before you know it."

"Thanks, buddy." I muttered, putting on a smile; it calmed me to know that Lucario is trying his best to protect us....but, still.....something else bothered me about him being gone....

'Maybe it's not even that,' I thought, sitting up; I looked over myself and made a face: I did NOT look so good, my clothes being dirty and worn.

"Hey, Monferno," I called to him, standing up and taking my bag "I'll be out for a bit: while I'm gone, tell Gallade he's in charge when he's back." I said, walking out the door and closing him. Last thing I heard was "what?!"

........................

I immediately went to the Pokémart for a change of clothes: I had quite a bit of money since Lexi couldn't use any of the money she earned on the Cycling Road. If I was lucky, I could probably get, maybe, a few changes of clothing for myself.

'I should probably get some equipment for Lex while I'm here: she'll never let me live it down if I don't get her something.' I thought, walking into the PM and looking around: even though I haven't been inside many of these, I felt like I knew where to go.

Quickly I made my way to the clothing department, looking through the selection they had: I settled with some light colored tees and khaki shorts of varying tone. I also thought that some extra pairs of shoes might be good if I get the ones I'm wearing right now somehow get wet or ruined...so I got a regular pair of hiking boots.

Along with my own clothing I got my sister a pair of jean shorts and a snug-fit black tee along with some cool boots I saw that could be used for both fashion and hiking.

I put it all into a nice pink backpack for Lexi, smiling at my cleverness.....but not really on the price.

My total, when I walked in, was a little over 8,000 poké.....when I left, I had about 4,500 left.

'Damn, I gotta watch my spending a bit....or, at lease, face more trainers.' I thought, hurrying back to the PC to show Em. As I walked there I transferred my new clothes into my bag and kept her new stuff in her bag as to make it look like a surprise.

"I should give Professor Rowan a call sometime, maybe ask him to send a Pokédex and ball belt over for her." I said to myself, walking through the doors and heading to the rooms.

Quietly I placed the bag on Sis's bed, telling Flygon to say it was from me. He nodded and smiled.

Sighing, now officially tired, I walked into my own room and opened the door; Gallade and Monferno were talking calmly with each other....like they were actually getting along.

'Weird....as soon as Gallade and Monferno met, they never liked each other that much.....' I thought, shaking my head: best not give it any more thought.

I let out a long sigh, sliding my bag to the bed's post and soon flopping onto it in an exhausted heap; my arms were draped all over the bed, growing numb so quickly yet I could care less....my mind raced with thoughts of my Aura Pokémon.

'Lucario.....where are you? Please, come back soon.' I thought, wiggling up onto the bed a bit more; even though it was the middle of the day, my eyelids were beginning to droop a bit.

'Maybe a nap will help me forget my worry.....' I trailed off in thought, my entire body agreeing and soon I was deep in sleep.

........................................

Finished! Oh my God! Lucas and Lucario have been separated! *dun-dun-duuuuuuuuuun* Will they ever be reunited again? Well......I do have an idea......and it involves a familiar face, maybe.....but, it'll take some time to work it all out.

Sorry in advance, but this may be the last chapter for a bit......I have some things I have to plan out a little more before I can continue......both as a writer and a student at school.....open you understand.

So, in the meantime, stick around! I'll be back with another chapter as soon as I can! Promise!
