Pat: The second part to my earlier story, Sorrow. Hope you enjoy it! Dedicated to Papersak!
The
night was blissfully cool. Ever since Mother Nature had managed to
push Father Frost away, the days stayed terribly hot to all citizens
of Smashville. But at night... How wonderfully cool it was, to lie in
fields, watching the moon and the stars, simply enjoying the simple
things in life.
That was exactly what one special aura wolf was
doing at the moment.
Except, he didn't watch the moon, the stars
and the night by vision. No, he saw them through his mind's eye.
How
can one do so?
Just ask Lucario.
Pit sighed happily. The
night was quite fresh, a welcome change from the scorching heat in
the mornings. Pit giggled a bit, so very energetic, even after
training nonstop all day.
It just proves how much energy young
adults can have.
Pit was here. He could sense him. Lucario
looked up, to see a certain cherub smile at him.
"Relaxing,
are we? Shouldn't thou be training?" Lucario nodded, opening his
ruby eyes.
"Perhaps, but shouldn't thou be enjoying thou
youth instead of acting like an adult, naive cherub?" Pit
chuckled.
"My, how one can learn how to speak 'old timean'
so quick!"
"And how quickly one can screw up, nay?"
Lucario countered, smiling craftily at the cherub, who sighed.
"How
high is your IQ level?! I talk like that for one day, and you speak
it like a second language, while I spent months just tryin' to get
the accent right! Dang, Rukario, you are lucky!" Pit exclaimed,
collapsing after his rant. Lucario chuckled.
"Be thankful you
can even speak well, young one. It took me months just to learn how
to speak, battle, yada yada blah." Lucario joked, ruffling up
Pit's hair. Ever since they had met, the positive meeting Lucario had
been in, he'd become much more trusting, loose, and, in a sense,
carefree! It surprised a lot of Smashers, many who couldn't even get
the jackal to say his name! Not that he actually had one...
"Really?
Wow!" Pit exclaimed, sitting upright.
"You really are
lucky, though, Rukario. Many others here can't speak. Heck, even
KIRBY can't speak! I wonder how he got things done when having to ask
for help..." Pit said, the last bit to himself, really. Lucario
nodded anyway.
"Hai, I really am lucky! Great life, awesome
friends, a place I belong... I just lack one thing..." Lucario
said, sighing slightly, the angel beside him looking at him
curiously.
"What're you missing?" Pit asked, Lucario
looking at him sadly.
"A name."
"WHAAAATTT?!
But I thought Rukario WAS your name!" Pit exclaimed, hopping up,
and then tripping on his own two feet, landing on his face. Lucario
simply shrugged.
"My race is called Lucario, so when people
called me that, since I had no name, I just followed along."
Lucario explained, stretching his arms and legs a bit.
"But,
EVERYONE deserves a name to call their own! Hmmm... Why don't I give
you one?" Pit exclaimed (for, like, the fifth time time that
night), smiling broadly at the wolf, jackal, whatever suits you,
Pokemon. Lucario beamed.
"Really? You mean it?" He
asked, Pit nodding, lying on his stomach.
"Yup! It is simply
a matter of finding the right one! Now, let's see..."
"Wolf?"
"Taken already."
"Oh yeah.
Anubis, then?"
"Not to offend, but do I look
Egyptian?"
"...Yeah, a lil' bit..."
"Moving
on…"
"Right, right... Um... Blue?"
"Too
simple."
"Rouge?"
"Why Rouge?"
"Look
at your eyes, then you shall know..."
"-.-u Uh, no
thanks."
"Alrighty... Terra?"
"I don't fair
well with ground type, thank you very much."
"'Kay...
Heart?"
"Again, no offence intended, but I'm not a
freaking girl!"
"Okay, calm yourself. Sorry, lessee...
How about... Ruby?"
"And, yet again-"
"That
time I was messing with ya. Alright... How about... Skye?"
"Skye...
Hmmm... I like it! It would suit me! That's my new name from now on,
yep, Skye the Lucario! Thanks so much Pit!" Pit smiled at the
elated jackal.
"No prob! So! Did I miss anything when you
were out here? What were you doing, Skye?" Pit asked, liking how
Skye's named suited him elegantly.
"I was looking at the moon
and it's brethren through aura! They look strange, did you know? Made
of pure aura, bright white." Skye explained, happy at his name.
Pit nodded, listening to every word his best friend spoke.
"I
had a feeling that I have seen an aura like that." Skye said,
puzzling Pit, who put a questioning look on to relay the message.
Ruby eyes turned golden, those eyes soon closing, the jackal
'glancing' at Pit.
"I knew I had seen pure aura sometime in
my life before the moon and stars! It was your aura!" Skye
exclaimed, opening now-ruby eyes.
"Wow... That's an amazing
skill you have!" Pit replied, smiling. Skye nodded, also
smiling. They lay down on the grass, happy to be close to friends, to
enjoy life fully.
Two lonely souls had met long ago. They
were torn at separation from their only family, but that lasted a
short while. When they met, they befriended each other instantly, and
for once, they knew what it was liked to be wanted, have friends, to
live again.
Those two lonely souls were none other than Pit and
Skye, two best friends, forever.
And that is how Lucario gained a name.
Pat: Really fluffy now, ne? Well, this'll continue soon, so stay tuned!
