Just a few notices:

1. This is my first fanfic, inspired by the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew movie, but with a semi-different plotline. The major pairing is UmbreonxLucario. Here's to hoping that it's good!

2. Please R&R. I will take both compliments and constructive criticism. Thanks in advance.

Enjoy the fanfic!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I own the trainers Kiki, John, and Rose.

Lucario sat atop the largest boulder in the valley, overlooking what lay before him. Skitty played with each other, Jigglypuff practiced singing, a few Eevee ate berries; all was peaceful. Lucario sighed and closed his eyes. He could see better that way anyway. The blue forms of the Pokémon wavered back and forth. The fighting Pokémon smiled, but only briefly. Then he returned to his solemn state. Lucario opened his eyes again and stared out toward the setting sun. The sky was a brilliant shade of pink, with swirls of orange and gold. It calmed him. So much was taking place; it was nice to have a few moments of tranquility.

"There he is!"

Lucario bolted up. They were here. How had they found him, when he had tried so hard to hide? He raced away toward the mountains, where he knew they wouldn't follow. The humans. The ones who had been chasing him since he was a young Riolu. Lucario closed his eyes and focused. A tree there, a rock here, he dodged them all with ease. Then he saw a moving form, a small one, running along with him at the bottom of the steep cliff.

"Lucario!" He opened his eyes, but continued to run. Eevee. "Lucario!" she yelled again. "Where are you going?"

"Eevee," Lucario started. He thought a moment. His apprentice, his...companion. "Goodbye," he finished, and sped away even faster, leaving the little fox behind, tears in her eyes. She stopped and sat as she watched his form get smaller and smaller.

"Goodbye..."

Lucario ran until he was sure he had lost them. What would become of the Pokémon in the valley? He didn't want to think about it. Those humans, they were...menaces. Freaks of nature that lived to destroy. And they wanted him. Lucario shuddered. He sensed a cold feeling around his body. The last thing he saw was a beautiful bird, icy blue and sparkling brilliantly. Then, he was covered in ice, frozen solid, falling victim to neither time nor space. And he slept.

The bird looked at Lucario, now totally encased in ice. "Forgive me," she whispered as she flew into the distance, into the sunset.

"Hey, hey guys, look over here!"

"What is it, Kiki? Not another Caterpie!" The tall blonde girl chased after her friend, hurrying to catch up with her and the boy closer to her, struggling to keep his wiry glasses on as the threesome raced up the mountain. "Slow up! Hey, you too, John," she called.

"How about you hurry up, huh, Rose?" John yelled back. Rose rolled her eyes. Kiki, a brunette about thirteen years old, shouted for the two to get to where she stood.

"Would you look at that! A solid block of ice!" John remarked when he saw the large rectangle of permafrost. "And in the middle of summer, too!"

"Well, come on, get next to it and I'll take a picture," Kiki said. John shined his glasses on his shirt and Rose struggled with her hair. "One..." Kiki began the countdown.

"Hold on, I'm not done my hair! It's too frizzy!" Rose cried. The black-haired boy snickered.

"Two..."

"What should I do? Omigod, my head is a mop! Stop the camera!"

"Three!"

"Cheese!" Both John and Rose smiled. As soon as the flash stopped, Rose's smile changed to a frown. "Drat!" she complained. "Please tell me there's more!"

"Nope, last one!" Kiki laughed. Then she and John began to run down the mountain away from a furious blonde.

Unknown to all of them, however, the camera's flash had both ended and started something, one being more obvious than the other. When the film ended at that precise moment, Kiki's most extreme adventure ever began, as the ice ever slowly melted away...

"Alright, come on out, Machamp!" John yelled. Kiki and Rose sat on rocks and watched as John took on the wild Umbreon that had appeared before him. The muscular Pokémon smirked as the boy shouted his order. "Cross Chop!"

"You're going down, Missy," he said as a pair of his arms glowed white. He charged.

"Fool, you think that I would have made myself known if I didn't know what I was doing?" The Umbreon's ears twitched and her eyes turned blue as she unleashed a wave of Psychic energy that knocked out the Machamp easily. John cursed.

"What the heck was that?! What a bunch of crap!" Rose giggled and Kiki fell on the ground laughing.

"Type advantage isn't everything, big shot!" Kiki shouted at him through jolts of laughter. The Umbreon smirked and began to walk away. "Hold it!" Kiki yelled. "Give me a turn!"

"Me, too!" Rose called.

"Alright, just don't cry when I win," Umbreon tossed at them curtly with telepathy. She sat down and yawned. "Battle me at the same time, I don't care."

"Ooh!" Rose blew her top. "You're going down! Go, Gengar!"

"You too, Infernape!" Kiki threw her Pokéball into the air and the fire-monkey materialized beside the purple ghost. The two girls nodded at each other.

"Fire Formation!" they ordered together. Infernape charged up an apparent Blast Burn while Gengar rushed toward Umbreon with a Fire Punch. The moonlight fox didn't move.

"Amateurs," she sighed to herself, and with a twitch of her ears an Imprison locked Gengar in place. Right in the line of fire. Infernape tried to stop the move, but it was too late. Gengar was hit with the blazing flames and fainted instantly.

"Gengar!" Rose cried. Umbreon glared at the Infernape, who was trying to recharge as quickly as possible.

"You're next," she said in a tone that could freeze the sun. Infernape shuddered.

"Kiki, stop this!" she shouted to her trainer. Kiki fumbled around for her Pokéball, then shrieked when she saw it floating in the air.

"Couldn't let you cheat me out of a battle," Umbreon, eyes blue from her Psychic attack, said. "Now," she smirked, "let me show you my own ultimate move!" Umbreon closed her eyes, twitched her ears, and charged a Hydro Cannon.

"OH SNAP!" screamed Kiki.

"Hey, don't worry, the fool's got her eyes closed!" John reassured her. "Hydro Cannon has a tendency to miss even with eye sight. Without it there's a zero chance, especially with Infernape's speed."

Kiki realized that he was right. "Alright, Infernape, as fast as you can! Do a Double Team!" The monkey complied quickly and raced around Umbreon in circles, multiple clones spawning from her body. "Take that, Miss 'I'm the best'!"

"You do know that I'm going easy on you," stated Umbreon with her eyes still closed. She saw many grey forms, but picked out the blue one and tracked it. Then she fired. And it hit.

"Infernape!" Kiki shouted. Umbreon let the Pokéball drop and sauntered away. Then, feeling that she deserved it, she turned to face the three humans and their exhausted Pokémon, pulled down her eyelid with her paw, and stuck out her tongue. Now it was Kiki's turn to scream.

"Get back here you little...!" She raced toward the dark fox.

"Time to go!" Umbreon shouted as she dashed away. But then she abruptly stopped, and Kiki crashed into her. They both looked up. On a boulder stood a prideful Pokémon, solemn face, perfect posture, and a concealed bewilderment in his crimson eyes.

"Lucario?"

Umbreon fainted.

More chapters coming soon!
