Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. Game Freak of Nintendo does. I do not claim to own it, or anything like that.
Oh, hello there friend. I was not expecting to meet you so soon, but it's fine either way. My name is Lucario, or Commander Lucario or just Commander to those lower ranked than I in my organisation.
New Beginnings
You are probably aware of the fact that I am the leader of said organisation, otherwise known as the Pokémon Invesigative Organisation, or PIA for short. We are a group purposely started to counter the less-than-moral group called the Society of the Evening Star. It's run by a Zoroark that used to be nice. Somehow, he lost his good side and became corrupted to the darkness with the intent of...you know, nobody knows his true motives. I don't even think he knows himself.
But what does it matter? He lost his sanity years ago. The Society's already amassed several armies full of Pokémon soldiers and I...have only the members of my own organisation to back me up. Mind you, they are strong. Very strong, skilled, and special in their own way. Each member has their own unique quality that when joined together with others, can be stronger then any army. Members that are especially skilled are ranked as Top Agents.
You don't become a Top Agent overnight. It takes practice, bravery and cunning to show me that you are strong enough to become one. My agency is fairly old, though despite this, we don't have that many members besides my Top Agents.
Our facilities however, range. We have a Medical Ward, run by Nurses Chansey and Audino. If you ever feel down, or you've been downed in battle, they are the people to talk to.
If you feel you need to hone your abilities, then go on over to the Training Centre. Generals Electivire and Magmortar run it. Let me tell you, they've got an amazing, yet challenging system set up there. They are not for the faint of heart. They will test you to your utmost limit, but they won't kill you. No no, they aren't mindless killers, just rigorous trainers. In fact, most Pokémon that enter barely come out without a scratch. If they've been hurt, they'll be most likely going over to the Medical Ward shortly afterwards.
When you wish to relax, relieve your stress, or just want to have a fun time, then the Park is a good place for you. We've got all sorts - sports courts and pitches, a playground for the young ones, wide open spaces and lovely flowers tended by none other than Sunflora. She's fun loving, yet calm and against battle, though she does support us to no end.
Inside the main building - which is perhaps the largest section of the entire headquarters - we have the reception, frontmounted by several Pokémon. I don't know much about her, but she does her job well and seems to care for the agents, which is fantastic. Our Bulletin Board has messages about potential jobs and rescue missions, similar to those guilds you hear of.
We also have a laboratory. Professor Rotom, head honcho of science, is in charge of it. He doesn't have any assistants, though Ambipom - our literal greasemonkey - helps him and the two generals to maintain their equipment. Most of our technology is developed by that Electric-Ghost type. Speaking of hi-tech, we've got super-speedy jets to guide our agents to wherever they need to go. In fact, Rotom even created the Generator, the machine that powers our entire base, by himself. He's that profound.
Agents aren't just left alone. To succumb to their needs, we have Dormitories for everyone. Top Agents, regular Agents...every single member has their own room, and we aren't afraid to expand if we need to. To add onto that, we hava a Caferteria which is directly next to the dorms. Thank you, convenience.
If you want to train in hand-to-hand, non-move based combat, the Colosseum would be your ideal location. It isn't visited very often, neither does anyone run it, but it can provide a good distraction nonetheless. Two of my Top Agents - Link and Tidal - tend to go there more often than others.
Oh, that reminds me. It's high time you know exactly who the Top Agents are. Link's a Gallade, skileld at battling with his arm swords. Tidal is a Samurott, with incredibile water swords and a mean Hydro Cannon. Axe is a Haxorus, with the incredible strength of most Dragon-types. Exalibur is a Bisharp, using speeds rivalling that of several Linoone.
Shade the Chandelure is particuarly tricky, but she seems to be a capable fighter. Lance is one tough Escavalier. You'd do well to remember that.
Intro
I suppose that's it for introductions. Suppose I'l send out invitations to some Pokémon in the city later...I've had my eye on them for a while now. I'll get Chimecho to send them out - she seems to enjoy her job anyway. The room you're in right now; the one I'm currently taking to you in, is the Command Room. It's basically just my dorm and command room mixed into one. It's one of the largest rooms in the entire base.
Not very much has happened recently. Occasionally, I'd have to go and sort out the Society, but that was quite a while ago. Some of the Top Agents have recently taken to challenging me - are they planning on overthrowing me? No, no...that can't be. Not at this time, anyway. I'm sure they do it just for the purpose of a friendly challenge.
Ah, speaking of my TAs...
"Hello, Commander. Would you like to spar with me in the Colosseum?" Link, the Gallade, asked, cautiously opening the door into my room.
They don't disturb me when I'm in my room, but usually, they'd only do it if they wanted to spar, or if something important had come up.
"Of course. Allow me to finish things here, and I shall meet you there. Gather the other TAs, if you want," I answered, folding my heavily important papers.
"Yes, sir," Link nodded, leaving to make his way towards the grand training ground.
I started to write out the forms that would soon be delivered to the new recruits, and photocopied each and every one of them. I handed the copies to Chimecho, and gave her the order to deliver them, of which she happily accepted. After stretching my muscles somewhat, I started to make my way towards the Colloseum. I wasn't about to let Link down. Also, do you really think I'd leave you without a fight scene?
The First Fight
Walking past the Training Centre and several playground equipment, I said my greetings to Sunflora and entered the Colloseum, where the Gallade was standing on the far end of the arena, with every single Top Agent spectacting. Surely, I thought, this was going to be particuarly interesting match.
"Woo! Get 'im, Link!" Axe the Haxorus cheered, just as I entered.
It seems the people want Link to win. I guess they'll be disappointed.
"That Aura Sphere of his is tricky! You can't dodge it, but you can reflect it!" Tidal the Samurott supported, bringing up a fair point.
In my match with Tidal, he did manage to counter my Aura Sphere with a Hydro Cannon, which surprised me. But here, now, I'm ready. Fighting-type moves won't be effective, so I had to weigh out my options.
Perhaps I don't need a type advantage.
"I suppose you must be ready, Commander. Ready for one of the most trickiest fights of your life," Link taunted, awaiting for me to begin.
I smirked. "I can say the same thing for you, my friend. Prepare to be taken out!"
Link started off the fight with a Psycho Cut, to which I responded with an Aura Sphere. After the resulting explosion of attacks, Link came in for a barrage of sword slices. I fought back with a Force Palm, forcing him away from my general direction. Right when I did that, I shot a couple Aura Spheres down the line. Link sliced right through each of them, and started to get up close and personal once again. Successfully, I evaded all of his attacks, and punched him away.
See, we don't focus on using our moves and techniques. Instead, we tend to use our natural strength. Actually, the other Agents appear to use moves more often than I do - something that they have not seemed to pick up on yet.
Link charged up a Focus Blast, and aimed it directly for me. I formed a Bone Rush technique, and knocked it back at him, who instinctively sliced the Fighting-type move in half, just like he had done with my Aura Spheres. When he charged back in, I continued to counter each and every attempt at a hit with my Bone Rush, which worked, until I kicked him square in the chest. Gallade don't have that big a muscles usually, but Link was different. He was much more stronger then any regular Gallade.
I threw my energy bone at him, which was easily deflected. In the distraction, I charged ahead, outskilling him at every pass. I punched him several times in the head and kicked him repeatedly in the chest, ending the barrage with an Aura Sphere.
That appeared to have done the trick, as Link had slight difficulty in standing back up on his two feet.
"This fight's over, Link. I suggest you call it quits before I accidently hurt you, big time," I suggested, calming my tension. "I don't want to send you to the Medical Wing on a simple spar."
"Good point," Link answered, stretching his own arm muscles. "I concede. I can't think of anything that'll work on you."
This statement earned a few cheers and boos from the Top Agent crowd, who all started to depart from the Colloseum, satisfied by the outcome of this bout. I say, Link did well. He's probably one of the strongest Top Agents - if I were to ever...go out of comission, I'd want him as my replacement, be it temporary or non-temporary.
I walked over to my Psychic-Fighting typed friend, and shook his hand in admiration. I'm not disrespectful - I know the strengths and shortcomings of my foes. I play fair, never will I cheat my way through a fight.
With such a heart of gold, it doesn't surprise me that the Agents respect me. I care about them, and they care about me.
"That was a good match, Link, though my Bone Rush was mainly the reason why you came out the loser," I analysed. "Perhaps you should figure out a way to counter that effectively."
"Quite. I agree with you there, Lucario," Link nodded, grinning. "I will learn from my weakness, and apply any newfound knowledge to future battles. I shall remain here in training."
"Excellent. I need to check if Chimecho's delivered the invitations yet..." I commented, turning to the entrance. "As you probably know, I've recently been on a drive to recruit more Agents. I've spotted certain individuals with specific talents out in the city. I theroise that they may be exactly the kind of recruits we need."
"I couldn't agree more, Lucario. We need all the help we can get to eliminating the Society of the Evening Star quickly, before Zoroark can cause any major damage," Link chipped in, agreeing with what I said.
"Indeed," I replied, breathing in and out. "Well, I'll let you get to it, then. Have fun training, Link."
"Will do, sir. Have fun doing...whatever it is you were doing," Link conceded, as I exited, following the path of most Agents back to the main building, and re-entering the Command Room.
Sorrow of the Past
Inside, I began analysing more papers and thinking about the future of my organisation. What were the true limits of Zoroark? Why had he converted to utter darkness? I'll never find out his true motives...
Brother, you must be okay, wherever you are. Be it locked inside that evil shell of yours, I will find you and restore you to your former self.
If it's the last thing I do.
Author Notes: I hope you enjoyed the start of a new Pokémon series, based off an RP on a site I go on. I don't own this RP, but it died off as the owner left the site. So, I'm converting it into a Fan-Fiction.
