The Nameless Story
Chapter One: The Beginning
-CHRISTMAS TOWN-
-NORMAL-
The town was buzzing with activity, Christmas is coming. And to these folks, Christmas means everything.
Parents are rampaging through stores to get presents for their children, trainers are especially getting some for their Pokemon.
However, one Pokemon is not enjoying the holiday because it doesn't have the vital part to celebrate it. Family…
-CENTER ON RIOLU-
-ROUTE 671-
A Riolu was hiding in the bushes, waiting for the Poochyena to go away.
Its arm was bleeding from a bite from its teeth. He is helpless because no other Pokemon can see aura.
The Poochyena was growling furiously at the wrong side of the clearing. If it was luck or it's a really dumb Pokemon, the Poochyena leaped at the wrong bush, far from the Riolu.
Seizing the moment, the blue Pokemon dashed from the bushes, and ran as fast as its legs can go, which is really fast.
It tripped on a root that was sticking from the ground.
He landed on his chest and slid, unfortunately the friction stretched the skin on his arm, making the bite much wider, and also spilling more blood.
The Riolu winced at the new and worse pain, and knew if he doesn't find help, its over.
He heard a twig snap, and a startled gasp.
The blue puppy-like Pokemon looked around, finding the source of the sound.
The bushes rustled, and out came a human.
The Riolu was startled, but did not run. From what he heard from a Pokemon that passed by a few days ago, humans raise you as if you were their own child.
His cheeks became deathly cold, and brushed his paw as if to warm it a bit.
He felt something wet, and realized it was his tears.
The human was a little plump, his hair was short and very messy, and had a face that somehow convinced he was of no harm.
The Riolu shifted his position, and moved towards the human. The human gave a slight gasp, which startled the blue Pokemon.
The Riolu guessed he discovered the bite on his arm.
The human slowly walked towards the blue Pokemon, and crouched when he was right in front of him.
The human had light brown eyes, and some brown spots on his nose, too tiny to be what he thought was a mole.
Riolu also noticed he was wearing a blue jacket, green pants and red sneakers.
The human slowly raised his hand, and stopped halfway.
Riolu recognized this gesture, he seen it between two humans. It was a handshake.
Riolu slowly raised his paw, and rested it on his hand.
The human smiled, and Riolu sensed he was very nervous. Riolu smiled back.
The human stood up, and he gently tugged his arm twice. He was beckoning him to follow.
Riolu knew from experience that if someone was to attack you, they would've done it a long time ago.
So he followed.
-CHRISTMAS TOWN GYM-
Riolu raised his paw and shielded his eyes. He never knew it was daytime due to the thick forest. He also knew it was cold, but he never knew it was very cold outside.
He also noticed white slushy stuff everywhere, on buildings, on the ground, on the trees, everywhere.
It made a soft crunch with each step they made. The blue Pokemon looked around in awe.
He noticed a larger human outside.
"Hey, Andrew! Got a Pokemon already?" the human asked which is a male.
"Yeah! Found him in the forest, but he needs a band-aid!" the younger human whom he was following replied.
The larger human looked puzzled, and noticed the bite on Riolu's arm.
"Oh, he needs those wrapping type of band-aid" the burly male said.
The large human was wearing a brown, fluffy trench-coat, a fur hat and black leather gloves.
The human had a brown beard that was a bit large, and blue eyes.
"After he's got a band-aid, can I keep him dad, please?" Andrew begged.
The boy's father stared deep into Riolu's eyes, and said "why of course!"
Andrew cheered and hugged Riolu. The blue Pokemon can't believe he hadn't noticed that the boy was his height.
Riolu don't know how he knew, all he cared about was that he found a family, and hugged the boy back.
"I have to admit, that Riolu is a bit tall for his age" Andrew's father said.
Riolu didn't care if it's a compliment or not, a family found him and accepted him, and now he's happy….
-SIX YEARS LATER-
Riolu, or should I say, Lucario, was running through the trees with amazing speed and grace.
With a grunt, he jumped and landed on a branch high from the ground.
He leaned against the trunk of the tree and waited.
He heard footsteps approaching, and he knew someone was coming. Lucario has grown a lot over the past six years.
A month after he was accepted, he learned that Andrew, his closest friend, was next to be a gym leader.
Lucario fiddled with a gem on his necklace that he wore. The gem was a topaz, Andrew's birthstone. Andrew believed that if Lucario is separated from Andrew, he can use aura to find the hidden trail that the gem makes to guide him to his friend.
Andrew bursted into his sight, panting.
"C'mon Lucario! At least give me a hint to where you are!" the human shouted.
Lucario silently laughed, he loved doing this.
But he also was filled with dread. Andrew was walking with crutches, due to his left foot being sprained.
Yesterday, a kid from here got too confident, and a hyper-beam from a Scyther tried to hit Lucario, but he dodged it. But the beam hit the wall, and a chunk of concrete slammed into Andrew's foot, twisting it.
The doctor said he ripped a tendon, and shouldn't be battling for a few months.
If only I had sensed it, Lucario thought.
"C'mon! Where are you?" Andrew called out again.
Lucario decided to give him a break, and leaped from the tree, and landed on the ground with grace.
Lucario knew he was a silent when came to landing.
"Yeah?" Lucario said, behind Andrew.
"Whoa!" Andrew yelped, and fell.
"Andrew! Are you ok?" Lucario asked.
"Just swell" Andrew said sarcastically.
Lucario picked up the crutches, gave them to Andrew and helped him up.
Andrew changed dramatically over the years.
No longer was he a plump dork, he was now lean, jock kind a guy. His brown, short hair that used to be messy, was now long and neatly combed, and poofy.
It was no longer snowing here in Christmas Town; it was bright, sunny, and about 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Not a cloud was in the sky.
The leaves on the forest trees were now beginning to grow and gain color.
Lucario and Andrew always ventured into the forest to get out of the house.
"You ripped a tendon they say, you can't battle for a while they say" Andrew complained.
"Come on, it's only a few months" Lucario assured him.
"Ha! Let's see them try and stop me!" Andrew scoffed.
Lucario sighed. Same old Andrew, he thought.
"C'mon, mom's probably cooking lunch by now" Andrew said.
Lucario licked his lips. Andrew's mother was regarded as the best chef in town.
"I can't wait" Lucario said.
"Hey!" a voice said.
Lucario and Andrew looked over.
A group of three came to them.
"Hi, know where the gym leader is?" one said.
He was wearing a hat, jet black hair, a black vest with a yellow stripe on the chest, gray t-shirt and blue jeans, black sneakers.
"You're looking at him" Andrew said.
"My names Ash, I came here for a gym battle!" the boy said.
Lucario leapt in front of Andrew and shielded him.
"And how do I know you're not trying to hurt him intentionally?" Lucario demanded.
"Wha-what?" Ash asked, stupefied.
"Lucario!" Andrew said firmly.
Lucario sighed, and stood by Andrew's side.
"I'm very sorry, he started acting like this after an accident yesterday" Andrew explained.
"What happened?" another, a girl, said.
She was wearing a white cap, dark blue hair, black and purple skirt, and tennis shoes.
"A kid got a little cocky and his Pokemon's hyper-beam hit a wall which threw a chunk of it at my foot, twisting it" Andrew said.
"Ouch, that's got a hurt" another said.
He was very tall, squinty eyed, spiky brown hair, a hiker's vest, brown pants, and some black and white sneakers.
"Yeah, the doctor said I can't do battles for a few months" Andrew said glumly.
"Aw man, I really wanted that gym badge" Ash complained.
"You sure you're not going to order you're Pickachu on him?" Lucario growled.
"Lucario" Andrew said, losing his patience.
Lucario gave a grunt, and crossed his arms.
"I'm really sorry, he thinks it's his fault for my condition" Andrew said, embarrassed.
"That's okay, anyway, this is Dawn" Ashe said, gesturing towards the girl.
"Hi" she said.
"And this is Brock" Ash pointed towards the spiky haired guy.
"Glad to meet you" he said.
"I'm Andrew, new gym leader" Andrew said proudly.
"New?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, family tradition says that if you reached thirteen years of age, you start training for gym leading" Andrew said.
"That means that there's another?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, but my dad is visiting relatives in the Hoenn region, and my sister is too young to start" Andrew explained.
"That's a bummer" Brock said.
"My dad should be here next week; you can wait that long right?" Andrew asked.
"I guess we can" Ash said.
"I'll be looking at the sky on the roof" Lucario grunted, and sped off.
"I'm really sorry, Lucario doesn't trust people who just walk up and say 'I want a gym battle!', he's just trying to protect me" Andrew said.
"Yeah, I can tell" Brock said.
The group walked towards their new friend's house. But they have no idea that another group of three is watching them…
