Hello. I'm KenyaCalico7743 and this is my first story. First off, I will not take spams or destructive criticism. If there is to be criticism, please make it positive, polite, and helpful. Secondly, since this is my first story, it is expected to be not the best so don't overpower me with harsh remarks about parts being out of place, characters not acting the way they should, etc. I only ask that you look around those parts to understand the storyline. Please enjoy and let me know if I should continue. Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon or the movie Lucario and the mystery of Mew, nor the other movies that I have gained inspiration from (Tarzan, Prince of Egypt, etc.) I only own the characters that I have created.
Chapter 1
On a foggy morning, a group of pokemon was running through the woods, the largest holding a small infant. They soon came to a river near a small marsh and the group came to a halt. A closer inspection revealed a blue, black and yellow bipedal jackal with spikes on her chest and forepaws, four antenna like braids behind her head and a long black mask covering her blue face and garnet red eyes. Around her were three smaller pokemon, also bipedal, but looked more like small pups with masks and two antenna each. In the arms of the elder, a tiny white furred pup was wrapped in cloth in her arms. Noise was heard from behind as the group turned to see a leafy miniature dinosaur with red eyes.
"I was able to get away, but the madmen will be on us soon. We need to hurry with this before they discover the child, Catori" said the dinosaur, a Bayleef.
"Thank you Keitha, this will be quick" said the elder, a Lucario.
"Mother, why are we out here? What is going on?" asked one of the pups, the eldest, a male. "Because Dyami, we can't let the bad people try to take your young sister. If they do, they will do horrible things to her." said Catori.
"Where's papa?" asked a little female pup.
"Doesn't he want to say goodbye?" asked her twin sister.
"Your father, Hiamovi, is busy distracting the bad people." said Catori. "He said his goodbyes earlier, Tadita and Sihu. Now it is our turn. Dyami, set the box on the ground. Keitha, do you have the slumber spell ready?"
"Yes Catori" said Keitha.
Once the now sleeping infant was placed in the basket, Catori removed something around her neck and placed it over the now sleeping innocence. It was a dream catcher with two blue beads, four black ones, and one yellow one on each strand under the ring. It also had three feathers, one from that of a Pigeot, the other two from a Murkrow. She then placed her paw over the little one's shoulder and used her aura to create a symbol on the arm. When she removed her paw, a small picture of a tribal bird appeared first in red, then in black as the light from the aura dimmed down.
"Chenoa" said Catori, "Yes. Chenoa will be your name, my little dove. Our ancestors will watch over you, just as they have for us. May they guide you to a place of safety and serenity and may they also guide you back to the people you were born to. Little ones, say goodbye to your sister."
The three pups put their paws on the little one, closed their eyes, said their wishes and prayers, and then removed their paws. Catori then placed the lid on the basket, went out into the water and let the stream take the young pup down the stream.
As she watches the basket float down the river and out of sight, several men then appeared from the forest and capture the family and the Bayleef away. As Catori is loaded onto the truck, a single tear falls from her eye and all fades into darkness.
I wake up to find myself in my room, beads of cold sweat dripping from my white furred face to my white torso fur. I also find myself breathing fast, almost panting. All of this can only mean one thing, I had that dream again. But why did I have it? How am I related to this tribal Lucario and her pups? Sure I am a white Lucario, and I did have a bird-marking on one of my arms, but that didn't mean I was a tribal Lucario. It was impossible. I lay back down in my bed to recover when I looked toward the clock above my door. 7: 35!
"Ahh! I'm late!" I threw the covers off, brushed out my hair and braided it into antenna like how my species originally has them. I then brushed out my torso fur, grabbed a pecha berry from my emergency stash and ran out the door to the courtyard, almost crashing into soldiers and pokemon along the way. I rushed to the outskirts of Cameron Palace to where my Mistress, Athena Rosary the Valor, and Grandmaster, Horus Cladern the Wise, were waiting for me. "There you are young Legacy. What took you so long?" asked Grandmaster.
"Yes, you normally are here before us. What kept you?" asked Mistress.
"My apologies, I was distracted" I said.
"Distracted? Nothing gets you distracted Legacy. Is there a prince's Umbreon trying to hit on you?" asked Mistress with a smirk.
"No, none are trying to win my heart. I've been having a strange dream for the past few nights and it continues to be more confusing. I normally wake up in the middle of the night when I have that dream but-" I was about to continue when I was interrupted.
"A dream?" asked Grandmaster. I nodded in reponse.
"Well perhaps you can tell us your dream on the way to the rendezvous point, hmmm?" suggested Mistress.
"Yes, I think that is better for me" I said before a loud growl was heard.
"But first, we must go into town and have breakfast. It's not good to travel on an empty stomach Legacy" Grandmaster joyfully reminded me.
"Yes sir" I replied as we went into town.
After we refreshed ourselves and packed up, we rode on the rapidashes that were provided, although mine was a close friend who volunteered to be my ride. His silver mane and tail, thus giving him the name Silver, suited perfectly with his gold eyes and pearl colored coat. As we rode, I told both of my masters about the dream I had.
"What was the young white riolu's name?" asked Mistress.
"I heard the mother calling the pup, Chenoa. From what she said after, I think the name means 'dove'." I replied.
Mistress looked like she was fascinated by the dream, but Grandmaster, on the other hand, looked worried, as if he was hiding something.
"Grandmaster?" "Huh? Oh sorry Legacy, I was just thinking" he said calmly.
I looked at him confused but let the feeling slide as we rode on to the rendezvous point.
By the time night came, we reached our destination, the Old Guardian Fort, just two miles away from Cameron Palace. All the other assigned knights and their pokemon welcomed us with food, fires, and cabins. I of course, chose to stay with my pokemon brethren at the pokestables. There was a loft up above the actual stables where I made myself at home with one of the makeshift beds, only to leave it to go to the campfire "passing of the tales". While most of the soldiers told their stories of past battles and fair maidens, Grandmaster wished to talk to me alone.
"Is there something wrong, Grandmaster?" I asked.
"Legacy, there's something I should have told you a long time ago" he then reached into his side bag and pulled out something wrapped in what looked like wolven Mareep fabric.
"What's that?" I asked.
He then removed the fabric to reveal what I wish I had not seen. It was the dream catcher necklace from my dream. It wasn't a dream though, it was real.
"I found this in the box that you were sleeping in when I found you at the river about two years ago. I kept this hoping that I would one day find your mother and return you to your family, but I realize now that you may not see your family again, if the dream you had is proven true. I don't know what your real name is, but I called you Legacy when I found you because you were the start of us aura guardians training our pokemon as students of aura, just as Sir Aaron did all those years ago" Grandmaster explained.
I sat down on one of the benches nearby, needing time to take this all in.
"So….all I am, all I was trained to be….was a lie?" I asked.
"No! You are still a part of this family, Cameron Palace, the Aura Guardians. You just weren't born here like the rest of us. But as we all know, in order to be happy, we must find ourselves for who we are, not what we were born to, what we have, or what we were raised / trained to be, but simply for the living beings that we are. Remember that." Grandmaster stated.
I nodded.
Suddenly, loud explosions are heard, "It's only fireworks! It must be for the festival of the Guardian!" shouted one of the gatemen.
As we all watched in awe, we didn't notice that we were under attack as several explosions had bombarded the base and enemy forces made their way inside.
*Meanwhile at the Palace*
As the fireworks continue, a single solitary figure runs from the palace staircase to the fountain at the bottom and he looks to the sky.
"Why are they celebrating? The kingdom is under attack." He then took off under a garden tunnel, "I need answers".
He soon comes across a familiar building that Sir Aaron once stayed in. As he entered and walked about seeing the many objects in glass cases, he stood in confusion until a voice broke the silence.
"Lucario." The pokemon, startled, turned to see the source and saw what appeared to be the queen.
"Oh! Lady Rin!" he replied with joy.
"I'm afraid I am not who you think I am." She stated as his smile faded away.
"You see, my name is Lady Ilene and Lady Rin was one of my ancestors." She slowly walked up to the confused creature and gently hugged him.
"You've been asleep for a long time Lucario" Ilene stated.
"Is it possible?" asked Lucario.
"I am telling you the truth" Lucario backed away until he bumped into a nearby display case. "But, I was in this room, just a few days ago"
"Please believe me, it may seem like days ago, but the reality is you haven't walked this palace for centuries" the queen sadly said.
The group then went back to the throne room after Lucario realized where and what time he was in, unaware of what has happened at the fort.
