"Where…am I?" Lucario thought out loud, picking himself up off the cold stone-like floor that he found himself laying face-down on. As he stood up, he felt a slight chilly breeze rush across his furry body. He looked around. He was standing on a great bridge that seemed to be made up of polished obsidian, hovering in midair without any means of support. Above the bridge was a starry night sky, the moon a large circle of white and grey in the middle of a blotch of black. "This has just got to be a dream…" Lucario thought, looking over one side of the torch-laden railing of the bridge, expecting to see land underneath. Instead, he saw an endless dark sea that stretched for what seemed to be an eternity. He brought his head back in, and turned around.
That's when he saw her. Standing behind him was a yellow and white kitsune with a feminine body shape, so Lucario took it that the figure was female. The kitsune also had the zodiac cancer sign on each of her thighs, and wore purple sleeves that had yin-yang symbols at the hand and extended up to about mid-bicep range. Her three fingered hands were closed into fists, as if ready to fight someone. But the most notable thing about her was her eyes, which were black and blue, like the sea below the bridge they were both standing on.
"Who are you?" Lucario asked the kitsune in front of him. The kitsune said nothing, her tail swishing behind her as if it had a life of its own. She seemed to be observing him intensively, her blue eyes fixed on him that seemed to stare into his very soul. Lucario concentrated, looking for her aura signature, and sensed that her signature wasn't like a pokemon's aura, which confused him greatly. The kitsune finally spoke up after a long time.
"Are you some tamer's partner?" She asked in a female voice.
"Tamer?" Lucario asked, confused, "You mean a 'trainer'?"
"What's a trainer?" The kitsune asked, cocking her head to one side, and blinking at him. This confused Lucario even more, who was scratching his head. The kitsune spoke up again. "Are we in some sort of digital world?"
"Digital?" Lucario questioned, even more confused. Suddenly the bridge started to shake uncontrollably by some unseen force.
"What's happening?" The kitsune exclaimed, falling over from the shaking of the bridge.
"I dunno!" Lucario answered, also falling over. Suddenly the bridge cracked in between the two of them, and split apart. The two halves then started to float away from each other. The kitsune suddenly jumped from her side to Lucario's side and accidentally pinned Lucario to the ground by falling on him, just before her part where she was standing on crumbled and fell into the sea below.
"Umm," Lucario mumbled, "This is awkward…"
"Oh," The kitsune said, getting off of Lucario, "Sorry…" Lucario was about to say that it was alright, but then he felt lightheaded. "What's wrong?" The kitsune asked, looking concerned, "You don't look so good…" Lucario then felt like he was falling into an everlasting abyss, and blacked out.
Lucario woke up to the sound of birds chirping. He sat up, and looked around. Yep, he was still in the same spot he was when he fell into the nap: In the middle of a forest, atop a hill.
"It was all…a dream..?" He said to himself, yawning as he did so. He rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes, and stood up. That's when he saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was a yellow kitsune that was strikingly identical to the one in his dream, but this time it was unconscious and laying on the ground. Her head looked bruised to, as if she fell a long way down and landed on her head. This startled Lucario, who ran to her, and checked her pulse. She was still alive and breathing, but not moving. "Don't worry," Lucario said to the unconscious kitsune, "I know where to take you…" With that, he gently picked her up, and started to speed down the trail toward Leaf-green, where the Pokemon hospital is.
