I never figured that it would've happened with the Pokéball I got. That's all it was, just a Pokéball. I wasn't expecting there to be… actual Pokémon in it.
But whoa, hold on. We've gotta go back. WAY back. So let me introduce myself. My name is Alex. And let's be honest here. I LOVE Pokémon. Ever since I got my hands on a copy Pokémon Blue, I'd been obsessed with the game series ever since. The game practically blew up after that, with collectibles, plushies, the card game, hell, the game even got a cartoon series! And when Pokémon Go came out, the fans just exploded with excitement. Sure… the game had some kinks here and there, like slow connections, not even being able to connect to the game at all, and the game had its fair share of glitches. The hype train was slowly starting to shrink, with less people getting on. But I was one of the few who kept playing. And then the Raid Battles came out. The game's popularity… still kinda stayed the same. But I'm getting a tiny bit off topic. So in short, I'm in love with Pokémon. I have pretty much every game in the series, and I've lost so many hours to each installment. And then there's my Pokémon collection. Walking into my room, it's a miracle that you don't get buried under a bunch of Pokémon merchandise. I have a bunch of plushies, I've had to stick my giant collection of my Pokémon cards in my closet, I almost never take off my Pokémon Go Plus, and I have a shelf that's filled to the brim with probably every book on Pokémon there is. But there's something I need to tell you first. You know how everybody has their favorite Pokémon? Well for me, it's Lucario.
I can't remember clearly when I first saw him, or how he came to be #1 on my obsession list, but I think I have a bit of a problem… My phone has at least five hundred or more pictures or more of JUST the Fighting-Steel type creature. Half of my posters are of him, and he's the only Pokémon I use when playing Pokken Tournament. And now you're wondering, "So… what happened?" Well… it's an interesting story, I'll tell you that.
