Chapter 2: Family

I finally looked up to see a lucario walking towards me.

A Lucario, one of my favorite pokemon of all time is just casually walking towards me it's an everyday occurrence.

Wait, does that mean that I am in the pokemon world?

"Hello young one I am your father."

I was so preoccupied with my thoughts to realize that he had reached me and is now speaking.

Well at least I can understand him rather than have to guess what he is saying with his hand gest…

WAIT, did he just say "father…?"

"Yes that's right young one, I am your father. Now why don't you come and meet the rest of your family?"

Well I might as well paly along since this seems to be my life now.

"Yes, okay." I said in a hurry, as I got up to follow him.

As we walked, I looked around to get familiar with my surroundings.

Now that I am not panicking, I can take in the world around me. I noticed that we are in a clearing that was inside a fenced area.

Which tells me, I wasn't born in the wild; so that means that I could be at a daycare or at one of the professor's labs.

If it is one of the professors' labs than I could be in any region because any trainer that the professor sponsor, when they catch a pokemon, than that pokemon would get sent to the lab of the professor that sponsored them, no matter what region the pokemon originated from.

So if I am in the anime that means that I could start in region even before sinnoh, where we first encounter a riolu.

But as we walked I saw that most of the pokemon here are from the sinnoh region, so that threw out my idea of starting earlier.

I also see people with lab coats in the background. One of them could be the professor but I can't make out who it is, they are too far off.

We came across a group of riolu and lucario that were playing together with another lucario watching them with a riolu curled up in her lap.

"Honey." Called my father to the sitting lucario, who looked up and once she spotted us her whole face lite up.

But as we got closer, I could tell that whenever she looked at me there was something else besides love there. Don't get me wrong the love is there but there was something more that looked like sadness and pain.

But before I could contemplate why that is, it vanished in a blink of an eye, and she smiled warmly at me as we approached her.

"Hello my child, I am Padma your mother." She said warmly.

"Hi" said a high pitched child's voice, when looked down I saw that the voice came from the fur ball that was curled up in her lap, who was now looking at me curiously.

"And this little fireball is your sister Mina."

"Hi what's your name? Mine is Mina. What's your favorite color? Mine is red. Are you my little brother because that would be so cool? I never had a little brother before. I was always the littlest. So does that mean that I can be in charge this time since I am not the littlest?"

"Huh!" was all I could say to the barrage of questions thrown at me.

"Now, now, Mina, leave your brother alone and give him time to catch his breath."

"Yes, mom." She mumbled red faced, before turning to me. "I am sorry."

"Oh! That reminds me, thank you Mina." Mother said. "We haven't given you a name yet."

"So what about… Luke?" Mother asked.

"Yeah, Luke, Luke…" Mina started to prance around calling my new name.
