Chapter 1
Pikachu ran around the meadow. It had just stopped raining, and fog surrounded the meadow. Pikachu loved to run around the fog in the wet grass. She turned around to see if she still was close the Mansion where she and her comrades the Smash bros lived. The Smash bros were a group of gifted fighters who fought others for contests and tournaments. Pikachu was a member of that group. Pikachu's moves and abilities were pretty good compared to the Smash bros if she used them right. But the Smash bros played another role other than fighting. They helped protect the world from the dreaded Shadow Brawlers; Ganondorf, Bowser, and Wario. They would do anything to bring the world to darkness and to destroy anyone who got in their way, which included the Smash bros.
She ran up a small hill, when she felt something stir. Her senses were on alert. Through the fog she saw a faint figure. She lowered herself down into the grass and slowly crawled up towards it. Soon, she was close enough to see the figure almost clearly. Her senses told her it was a Pokémon. It was blue and black, stood on two legs, and had the head of a dog. She took one more step for a closer look, but the Pokémon tensed up. Pikachu froze. There was a slight gust of wind and the Pokémon vanished. Pikachu got to her feet. Had she just imagined it? No. She was sure of it. She had seen the mythical Pokémon, Lucario.
Pikachu ran back to the Mansion. She ran into the library and pulled out a large book on Pokémon Myths and Legends. She flipped through the pages until she found a picture of Lucario. It looked exactly like the Pokémon she saw in the field. Lucario was a rare Pokémon that was said to have lived a long time ago. They each had the gift to control their aura. Years later they say that they all had died out. But Pikachu had seen one! She had to tell her friends. Pikachu closed the book and ran to the parlor. The Smash bros were there like they usually were.
"Guys! You'll never believe what I just saw outside!" Pikachu cried out as she ran into the room.
"What did you see?" asked Link.
"Calm down Pikachu!" said Princess Zelda.
Pikachu took a deep breath. "Okay. I was out in the field running around in the fog. I ran up a hill and I'm sure that I saw a Lucario." She said.
"The mythical Pokémon Lucario?" Ness said.
"Are you sure you didn't see something else?" Lucas asked.
"No! I'm sure of it! I saw one just now!" Pikachu said.
"What exactly did you see Pikachu?" Marth asked.
"Well, it was blue and black and I'm pretty sure it had a head like a dog. Just like Lucario." Pikachu said.
"You're pretty sure? That doesn't sound like you really saw one." Pit pointed out.
"Besides, if it was so foggy out there how could you really know if you just caught a glimpse of it?" Red asked.
Pikachu hesitated. "I just know. I did see him alright?" Pikachu said.
The room was quiet for a minute. Then Ike spoke up. "I think you were just seeing things Pikachu. Lucario is just a myth after all."
"He's right. There's no point in arguing about a legend that we know doesn't even exist." Samus said.
All the other Smash Bros seemed to agree. Pikachu couldn't believe what she was hearing. "But-" Pikachu tried to protest, but Zelda held up her hand. "That's enough Pikachu."
She walked out of the parlor. She didn't look troubled, but inside she was seething with anger and sadness at the same time. That night as Pikachu lay in her bed, she stayed awake thinking about what the Smash Bros had said. She couldn't have been imagining things, her instincts were completely clear when she sensed a Pokémon in the meadow. If only she could somehow prove to them that she saw Lucario. Pikachu lay in her bed for a while thinking things over until she came to a final decision. She would not be satisfied until she could prove that she was telling the truth about what she saw. She was going to find Lucario, tonight.
