(A.N. This is a semi-complementary Fan Fic, to Pokémon Season 1 and on. Just giving you a heads up, this is an OC FF but he is along with Ash for most of his story. Anyway hope you enjoy)
I sat on the ledge over looking Pewter City thinking ' Man it's been a rough couple of years, but here I am, about to earn my first gym badge. 'My Pokémon named Lucario came up behind me and put his paw on my shoulder. ' Better get going, or they'll be all out of room.' He said through the telepathic link we share. See this Lucario is more than my first ever Pokémon, he is also my Brother. I know what you're thinking " A Pokémon as a Brother that's kind of odd" well let me explain.
It all started when I was about five years old, my parents lived in the Hoen Region they were Pokémon Scientists. One day my father brought home a young Pokémon called Riolu. It stood as high as my waist, when I was about five. It stood on its rear paws mostly, and had a long black puffy tail. His arms were completely covered in fur and had two small silver orb looking things on the back of its hands. Long black parts of fur flowed from the side of its face off of the sides of black raccoon like mask. It had a set of pointed ears on the tip of its head.
" Alex, " I remember my father saying when he came home with it. " This is Riolu, I want you to take care of him." He said with a slight hint of sadness in his voice. He then sent me out side to play with Riolu.
" So your Riolu." I said.
He nodded and I asked " So what do you like to do for fun?"
Riolu held his hand out to me, I grabbed it and suddenly I was able to hear a voice, it was a small voice, but it was very soothing.
" Hello Alex," It said.
" Are…are you…talking?" I asked.
" There are a few humans in this world that can understand the inner language of Pokémon." Riolu continued.
I wasn't understanding a word of this.
" So your saying I'm one of those people?" I asked.
" Well I'm still learning about this, but from what the people at the lab are saying I was specially chosen for you by your father, as a friend and as something else, but they never did say what that was." Riolu said.
Soon my father called me in for dinner and I brought Riolu in and him next to me at the table.
" Did you have a good day today?" He asked.
" It was ok," I said.
He and my mother got talking about something at the lab for a while and just before dinner was done I asked,
" Hey Dad, I can understand Riolu, is that normal?"
He looked at my mother and then back at me.
" Did he tell you anything about that ability?" He asked.
" Just that there are a few of us who have this power." I replied.
" He is right, Alex." My father began to explain,
" You are what is called a Guardian, they have certain power and abilities unique to the specific family of Guardians they belong to."
I looked at Riolu who smiled and turned his attention to my father.
" You and I belong to the Gingi Guardians, We can use our powers to communicate with our Pokémon, since the auras of other creatures and even use our own Aura to create Aura Spheres, just as a start." He explained.
My head was spinning from all the information I was being told that day.
" So how do I use these abilities?" I asked.
He smiled and said " I will teach you everything I know."
Over the next few months my father had taught, me and Riolu how to communicate without a physical connection using something he called a Gingi Link. He was also teaching me to sense other beings Auras, human as well as Pokémon. I woke up one morning with a wired feeling, something was off, My father's Aura was on edge. Riolu could feel it as well and was ready to go as soon as I was. I got dressed and made my way downstairs, where I found my father standing at the door talking to a man in a black suit and coat.
" Alex come here, sweetie." My mom said from the kitchen. I could tell she knew what was going on out front and she was just as nervous as my father.
" I have your breakfast ready right here." She said offering me a bowl of my favorite cereal. I looked at the bowl, then to my father and then back to her.
" Not hungry?" She asked looking at me. I shook my head,
" Me nether." She said looking at my father. Just then the school bus came and Picked me up for school. As I passed my father and the man in black, I felt the man's Aura and saw it was made up of pure evil. The man never looked at me but my father called out
" Have a good day son and remember what I told you."
Little did I know that was the last thing he was ever going to say to me. At school I unloaded my backpack to find Riolu hidden away in the bottom.
" Riolu what are you doing here?!" I asked surprised.
' I don't know." He confessed, ' I just couldn't take any more of that man, something told me to run, to come with you.' Riolu said looking me in the eyes. ' Please don't be mad at me.' He said turning his face away.
" Riolu, I'm not mad, we just have to see what the teacher says about this." I said softly. Once I explained the situation to her she understood and let Riolu stay with me. Soon after we heard an explosion, the teacher called us all together and packed us inside the broom closet in the class room. suddenly I felt an emptiness that I couldn't explain. I knew Riolu could feel it too, because when I looked down at him he had tears welling up in his eyes. I tell you what, there is nothing...nothing as bad as seeing your brother cry. I pulled him into the warmest hug I could ever make and began to cry with him, for now I knew the reason for the emptiness. Something had happened to my parents, something terrible, and somehow it was connected to that man. I couldn't tell you how but I knew it.
(And I think that's a good stopping point. please be patient as this is my first Fan Fic EVER! Trust me things get better and more exciting once things get started in Kalos. Comments are greatly appreciated!)
