"One of the eggs was Riolu?" a blue Jackal named Lucario said. His wife, a brown and tan bunny named Lopunny, nodded.
"Yep! He'll be just like you when he grows up!" She say smiling, holding the Riolu in her arms. Lucario crosses his arms.
"Dammit of all the Pokemon, it's a Riolu." Lopunny gives a confused look,
"Did you not want a Riolu?" She asks, Lucario shakes his head, Lopunny looks at Riolu and starts to look sad,
"But he's so adorable!" She whined, "C'mon! Let's keep him!" Again, Lucario shakes his head,
"I can't, I don't want another Pokemon like me, okay?" Lopunny nods, still very sad. Lucario looks away, he doesn't like saying no to his wife, but he had to.
'I can never tell her, what happened.' Lucario thought to himself. He shuddered, think of what happened before he met Lopunny
"C'mon dad!" a smaller, lighter blue version of Lucario said while running through the fields.
"Can't right now, Riolu! I'm busy!" Lucario said back. He was working on something for his job as a new worker of the Pokemon Stadium! He's suppose to pick a design for the battlefield. 'Let's see." he thought to himself, looking all over the different styles for it. It wasn't too difficult. There were three different sheets of paper, each having a different design. There was a rectangular like design, which was very simple, there was a triangle like design, which made no sense, and there was a circle design, which he liked, but for the entire Stadium, it wouldn't be very, easy.
"Alright let's go with this one." He says, picking up the rectangular design sheet.
"Now, to add my own design choices too it." He said.
Meanwhile, Riolu kept playing around in the fields, when he noticed a cave off in the distance,
"I wonder what's in there." he said to himself, walking towards it. Inside was very dark, it scared Riolu so he didn't want to go inside, but his curiosity got the best of him and he started to walk inside, slowly, but surely.
"H-h-h-h-hello?" He said rather quietly.
Nothing, nothing at all.
He was about to turn around and walk home, when he heard mumbling deeper in the cave. He decided to scream louder to get their attention.
"Hello?!"
Suddenly, the ground started shaking, it was shaking so much that Riolu fell over.
"W-what is going on?" He asked himself.
He tried to run to the exit but fell over again. The ground was shaking even more, this caused parts of the ceiling to fall. One part of the ceiling went straight for Riolu.
"Augh!" Riolu screamed, as he was crushed by the boulder.
Back at his home, Lucario ran outside to see why the ground was shaking to see that Riolu was gone.
"Riolu, where are you?" he screamed as he ran around looking for his son. He looked everywhere in the field but saw no sign of him. Then he saw the cave.
"No, he didn't go in there did he?" He asked himself. He dashed straight for the cave. Just barely in the entrance, he saw something that horrified him. Riolu's body, under a giant rock, and a pool of blood.
Everything around Lucario went black, he didn't care what was around him anymore, all he saw, was his son, gone forever.
"I shouldn't have let you go outside on your own." He said quietly.
He started sobbing, realizing truly that his son was dead, and that he was never gonna get him back.
"I'm sorry Riolu, this is all my fault." He said, tears in his eyes. He smashed his fist into the ground, and screamed as loud as he could.
"Lucario!"
Lucario snapped out of his thoughts. "Huh? What?" He said, a little confused.
"The other egg just hatched, were you even paying attention!" Lopunny asked him. Lucario's eyes widened,
"What, it did?"
Lopunny smiled, "Yeah! It's an Eevee, she's so adorable!" She hugged Eevee and Riolu. Suddenly, Lucario has another flashback.
"If there's anything you need, just let me know!"
"Gallade!" Lucario said. Lopunny gave him the weirdest look, "Eh?" She said,
"Since I don't want Riolu, maybe Gallade will, he's always talked about how much he wants a kid!"
"Wait, What? But I want Riolu…"
"Honey, please do this for me, it's really important." He says.
Lopunny reluctantly gives him Riolu, "Okay, but you owe me!" She says, giving him a death glare.
Lucario nodded, "Of course, I'll be right back." He says as he leaves the home.
It's late at night, Gallade and his wife, Gardevoir, are sleeping, when there's a knock on his door. He gets up and yawns, "Welp, looks like I'm up for the day." he walks over to his door, and is surprised to see a baby with a note on it on the other side of the door. He picks the baby up and takes the note.
"You wished for one, so your wish came true." He read. He had no clue who it was from, but when there was no way he was gonna leave this kid at the doorstep.
"Well kid, looks like you'll be staying with me." Gallade said, smirking.
