(Spirit World. Tree of Beginning.)

Lucario sighed sadly as he stared at his own reflection in the crystal clear hot springs. His feet currently soaked in the water, trying to calm himself. It had been about six years since he once again lived. Six years since he gave his life to save the world. And, six years since he met...him.

Lucario body slightly trembled at the memory of the one who stole his heart. The person in question was about 5'9, standing over himself by a few inches. He had both a young, but mature face. Jet black hair that would camo with the night. Warm, bright brown eyes that could look deep, deep into your soul. And, a body that would rival a gods. Of course, Lucario was thinking of the one, the only. Ash Ketchum.

Just the name alone would make the jackal blush. There were a lot of reasons why he loved Ash. He was charming, brave, smart, nice, sweet, caring, courageous, and all in all, handsome.

Lucario looked at his right paw, the same paw Ash held onto before he died. He could still the warmth of Ash's hand on his own, it was a feeling he would never forget.

"Are you okay my friend?" A very familiar voice asked Lucario. The jackal turned around, and watched as his first ever friend sat down next to him, while also placing his legs into the water.

"Y-Yes S-Sir Aaron. J-Just thinking." Lucario stuttered out, before turning his attention back to the water.

"You know stuttering is the first sign of a lie." Sir Aaron replied in a knowing tone. At this Lucario sighed, before Sir Aaron spoke up. "So, are you going to tell me you're really upset, or must I figure it out for myself?"

"I...was just thinking of an old, uh, friend."

"And, may this friend's name be, Ash Ketchum?" Sir Aaron asked with a smile, which widened slightly as Lucario's shocked and surprised look in his eyes, along with a small blush.

"H-How d-did you know?"

"He's all you ever talked about when you cam here. And, every time either of us mentioned his name, you would blush, shake, or stutter. It's not really hard to tell what's going on." Sir Aaron informed with a caring smile. Lucario's head sunk down at his masters words. Yet, it was all true.

"I-I just really miss him."

"I'd call it more than just 'missing'." Lucario obtained a full blown blush, and a nervous look in his eyes. It would seem, that Sir Aaron had found out.

"I-I just want to see him again. A-And, m-maybe more." The jackal explained, drawing a small, but kind of forced smile from his master.

"There may be a way for you to see him again, and maybe more. I just want to know, how much do you care for him?"

"A-As much as I care you master. M-Maybe even more."

Sir Aaron once again, smiled at his friends words. Although he felt a ping of jealously, he still wanted to make the jackals wishes come true. Anyway, Sir Aaron grabbed onto Lucario's shoulders, before forcing the Pokémon to face him.

"Promise me this. You'll make him happier than he's ever been."

With that, Sir Aaron Forced their lips together, causing Lucario to blush and for his eyes widened. But soon after that, Lucario started to glow, and than, he disappeared.

(Real World. Inside the Tree of Beginning.)

The crystal that sat beside the heart of the Tree of Beginning glowed bright. It glowed brighter and brighter, until finally, it died. The crystal than was replaced, by the aura jackal.

Lucario's eyes shot open, and he gave off a loud breath of nervousness. He looked around, confused and a little frightened at what had just occurred. But after a few seconds, it all clicked. He was alive once again. Sir Aaron must've brought him back to life.

The jackal stood up, although wobbly, and looked around. He was back. He was really back! Lucario turned to the other crystal figure, and bowed slightly.

'Thank you master.' Lucario thanked his old friend and master. He straightened, before turning around, and running, hoping he remembered the way out.

(Outside the Tree of Beginning.)

Lucario huffed as he finally found the exit to the Tree of Beginning. He stared outside, watching as Pokémon of the night flew or ran.

He jumped onto the ground, before running at full speed, with only one thought in mind.

'Soon Ash, we'll be together at last!'
