This is my first fanfiction I plan on writing a chapter every two weeks and a half or so. I've also decided against describing how Pokémon look, so review and enjoy, so without further ado the story begins. I'll add a review reply to the chapters later so review and chat with the characters.

Can't forget the disclaimer

"Am... I dead?" I ask staring into a blinding light. I'm surprised I'd be going to heaven, I don't remember dying either.' I think as the light before me began to fade. A sudden throbbing pain developed in my head, as I was enveloped in the darkness. "Seems I'm not going after all." I whispered as I lost consciousness.

"Hey… Alright… Wake up!" The voice was male, but gentle and worried.

'Is someone calling me, who is it? I don't recognize that voice, just leave me alone.'

"Are you awake?"

I groaned and rolled onto my back, peeling open my eyes I saw a Lucario looking back at me with a worried expression. I could hear the water nearby and I felt sand against my back. I'm on a beach, but why? I have no memory of how I got here or why I was.

"Are you alright? Can you tell me your name, little riolu?" I'm a riolu I'll assume.

I sat up causing the Lucario above me to jump, and seat himself in front of me. "My name is Akuma, except for a headache I'm fine. Anyway would you be able to tell me where I am Lucario?"

The Pokémon in front of me gave me a quizzical look, and replied in a faint tone, "I'm sorry, I am not a Lucario I used my illusion to look like a Lucario, someone more approachable to you. I'm really a Zoroark, named Zoroark."

"It's alright, but can I call you something other than Zoroark like Luca." Zoroark nodded

"Do you know where your parents are they must be worried about you?" I shook my head in reply, "How about where you live do you remember that?" Again I shook my head. Electing a sigh from Luca, as he sighed his fur became grey-brown, claws extended from his paws and the metal protruding from the backs melted. Before long the Lucario in front of me was a Zoroark. "I dispersed the illusion so what you see now is what I really look like. I want to tell you was going to beco-" Luca was cut off because he was tackled by a Koffing.

"Hey if it isn't our old friend scaredy-cat." Said the Zubat as he caught up to his Koffing friend. He noticed a stone where Luca used to be standing, "What's this, Scaredy?" The Zubat called as he picked up the stone. Luca got back up, and looked at the stone in shock.

"That, give it back it's my treasure." Luca cried

"A treasure, hmm." the Koffing says looking at the stone, "We should hold it for him, just until he can take it from us and beat that dungeon." Zubat replies.

Before either Luca or I could react the two bolted into the cave behind us. Luca looked at the cave in defeat, and began to sob quietly. 'Those two are complete jerks, and now they've stolen from someone I like to call a friend. I can't just sit here and watch this, I'll help Luca get his treasure to pay him back for helping me.'

"Luca I'll help you find them, and get you treasure back." I say as I place a paw on his back.

Sorry for the short chapter, but enjoy the journey of our Heros!
