The Lucario
Heres the boring part nobody really reads but is required, we dont own Pokemon or any characters ect in the show and games bla bla you get it.
"No!" Rowan exclaimed, a stern look on his face. His nostrils flared with each sharp breath he took. "It's not yet time for you to recieve a pokemon, You're still a tad too immature!" He continued to preach.
"Ok. I understand sir…." Jake replied with an obviously upset tone. He looked away with sadness in his eyes. Avoiding meeting anyone else's gaze. His line of sight finally landing on the Pokémon on the shelf, thoughts of adventure filled his head as he shuffled through the starters in his mind. He would be great, he just knows it.
Rowan gathered Jake's attention one more. "Look, I'm glad you understand, but I'm sorry. I cannot give you a Pokémon now. Jake you will make a fine trainer but today is not that day." Rowan explained, placing his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Until then head home and get some rest." He said sincerely, his facial expressions relaxing as he stared into the boy's eyes. Eyes that grew fiercer with each passing second.
"HOME?!" Jake exclaimed under his breath, lowly growling. "My 'home' is ruined and I just want to leave this place! And you won't let me! You're supposed to help me!" Jake stated, his voice filled with both anger and sadness. His teeth grinder against each other, as his fists balled up tightly.
"I'm sorry son…. you know I didn't mean it like that." Rowan said reaching out to hug Jake.
"No! I don't care anymore professor. Goodbye!" Jake yelled, teary eyed turning away from the hug and exiting the Sangem town lab.
"WAIT... JAKE" Rowan yelled running through the door of the research lab carrying a brown box.
"What do you want professor?" Jake inquired with an angry voice and tears welling up.
"I want you to take this" Rowan said handing the box to Jake.
"Thanks but no thanks professor, I just want to go home" Jake bitterly said turning away and walking back home. (I don't want whatever he tried to give me, I just want my life back) Jake pondered on this until he reached his childhood home in Twinleaf town.
(Huh, looks like it's going to rain tonight) Jake thought to himself after hearing the boom of thunder approaching the small quaint Sinnoh town. As he stepped through the threshold, entering the town, rain started to pour down. The people around scattered back indoors, while jake stood all alone. The rain masking his tears as he started to walk again.
He soon reached a small home, Wiping his face clear before entering. He slowly opened the door, to see nothing but darkness. It was warm, and felt empty like a void. The young man walked in and closed the door behind him, sitting down before a black screen. Jake turned on the tv, breathing a sigh of disappointment and despair (I want my life back) Jake thought to himself heading upstairs to prepare for bed. He changed his clothes, leaving the wet ones in the corner. Upon lying down in his bed the door bell rang. "What is it now?" Jake mumbled getting up and heading down stairs. Upon barely opening the front door and peeking his head out. Jake felt rather irritated. "May I help you, Professor?" Jake inquired with slight agitation in his voice.
"I would most certainly hope so" Rowan said sounding a bit hesitant. His clothes were wet, drenched in rain. He brushed his hair back and wrung out his coat. "Young Jake, I would really like to speak with you for just a moment."
"Look, I'm not interested right now Rowan…" Jake stated with a more mellowed tone. Trying to close the door.
Rowan put his hand on the door to hold it open. He looked down to the boy with pleading eyes. "Please Jake… just take the package," Rowan almost pleaded handing the package to Jake.
"Professor… I'm sorry about earlier but I don't need any gifts or pitty," Jake now sounding upset. His eyes remained low, looking to the wooden floors. His heart was heavy with sadness. Feeling as though it could be crushed at any moment.
"Look," Rowan began, "I need you to take this package and open it tomorrow morning… get some rest and stop by my lab next weekend. I'm headed out of town for a business meeting," Rowan said calmly, moving his hand and standing back.
"Ok, I will." Jake murmured, taking the case in one hand and giving it the once over. "Thanks Professor, have a good trip." Jake said shutting the door. He eyed the case down, it was small and white, cold to the touch like glass. It was smooth and gave the impression of being delicate. Jake didn't think much of it, ultimately deciding to keep it closed as he headed back to his room. Once he entered, he placed the case under his bed, getting into it once more. He stared at the ceiling hanging overhead, his thoughts of traveling the region smashed as quickly as they were formed. He started to have doubts, feeling he wasn't good enough, this darkness started to creep over his heart, and darkness crept over his eyes. Until he comfortably fell asleep. The next morning came with a rolling clap of thunder in the distance. Jake sat up straight and signed, giving no thought to the box under him as he got dressed for the day ahead. "Man… I really don't know what to do anymore, my life sucks…." Jake whispered to himself as he sat down on his bed, accidentally kicking the box underneath. He sighed harshly and pulled it out from under his bed. Staring down the shiny case, and seeing his sad eyes in the reflection. "Ok Professor… what did you give me?" Jake sighed out loud asking nobody in particular. He hesitated for a moment, before popping it open. His eyes widened, his mouth struggling to find the words. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT… WOO HOO!" Jake exclaimed very loudly as he pulled out a brand new Pokédex and a Pokéball. "What's this say?" Jake pondered out loud opening the envelope and pulling out the note that read
Dear Jake,
I wish you had let me finish speaking earlier, I was going to tell you that you were not ready to recieve your first Pokémon… however I thought that being able to find and meet your own partner would help you understand the world around you better. Here is an empty Pokéball and a Pokédex you don't yet have a Trainer ID so please stop by my lab in Sangem upon meeting your new friend best regards, Professor Rowan
"Thanks professor.." Jake said to himself under his breath. A cheerful smile decorated the young boy's face as he slid his shoes on, ready to face the world. "I'm going to catch a Pokémon right now!" Jake said sounding ecstatic. Running out the door with his ball and Dex in hand. The sun was hidden behind clouds of rain. "Probably should have waited till the rain stopped." Jake said to himself as the rain came down hard drowning out any nearby sound. "I'll just keep heading deeper into the woods, I'll have to find SOMETHING right?" Jake said to himself as he kept walking, entering the woods. Sounds of rain hitting the trees filled the area, drowning out the sounds of the forest. Jake trudged through the wildlife, looking high and low for a Pokémon in the early morning downpour. Until a cave managed to find its way into his line of sight. "A cave huh? Good place to look for a Pokémon right?" Jake thought as he entered the cave. The dark and wet floors stretched on for what seemed like forever. Each step he took he heard echo in the distance. After walking a little deeper a voice rang in his head.
'Leave here now. Do not come… any closer…' the feminine voice said sounding weak, angry and distressed.
After taking a few more steps Jake saw the outline of what he could only assume was the creature speaking in his mind before. "Hey… are you… ok?" Jake asked, sounding a bit worried upon moving closer he realized it was an oddly colored Lucario that seemed to be really badly injured. Without a second thought, Jake scanned it with his Pokédex
"Lucario the aura Pokémon, in the evolved form of Riolu, Lucario tend to live on mountains or in areas with little to no human interaction. They tend to be prideful and it is said they can speak to humans using Telepathy" the Pokédex said while displaying a picture.
After a moment Jake realized he needed to get it to a Pokémon center pulling out his Pokéball he tapped it on the head and after a few seconds the red light went out signaling a successful capture.
