Somewhere in North Florida. July 17, 1921.

"Private Smith, I have instructed you to seal the chamber that held the mysterious orb. Has it been done successfully?" Queried the general.

"Yes, sir. It is sealed. The mysterious blue dog has escaped our forces, though. It was shooting blue orbs after our troops. We suffered 4 casualties and many more injured."

Smith was, perhaps, the first still living person to see the blue dog, later known as Lucario. The troops were withdrawn following other mysterious happenings.

New Jersey, USA. August 3rd, 2019.

"Louie! Louie! Where is Louie!" I said with enthusiasm. Just the kid I needed for his expertise on this math. Where the hell is he!

"Ya know..." Said he, "you don't need me. Clearly you have a better grade than I do. A 95!"

"Just sayin, getting ready for the Florida trip." I said. "Should be back right afterward."

"Alex!" Father shouted. "Alex, are you ready for the best trip of your entire life?!"

Gah, I thought. He always says this. Overly enthusiastic about everything. Why can't I stay back and play video games?

Well, this trip aught to be good. "Louie, take care of Ben and Bonnie for me." Ben, our horse, and Bonnie was our cat. Possibly the best friends you could have in life.

Soon we were on the freeway heading south. Trees were passing, and so was time. I was the navigator, as I always was, and had the fate of the future in my paws.. Hands.

It had slowly turned from day to night. There was an eerie mist in the air. The kind that sends chills up your spine. Of course, father had the country station on. Vibrating throughout the vehicle with the beat.

Thats when it happened. A blue orb engulfed the car, something only I could see I later learned, and sent spikes of pain through my body. As quickly as it came, it left.

Father's music seemed louder. Everything was in a daze. Then there was nothing.

"He's awake.." Said the doctor. "How are you feeling?"

"Tell me what happened" I said dryly, glancing at my hands. Wait! Paws? And a spike to top it off.

I yelped and jumped off of the hospital bed. Burst into the bathroom and saw a creature of fantasy. A Lucario.

"Whoa.." I gasped as I stared at my new form. Well, I reasoned, this is all probably a dream. I'll wake up in the car right now! I punched myself in the muzzle. Not the best of ideas, as I fell to the floor in pain. Worse than any headache...
