Chapter 2: The one with the red scarf

Silver sat in the cold damp cell, awaiting her morning execution. She snuggled closer to the stone wall, and closed her eyes, trying to sleep. The same thing just kept coming back, Aqua, Zero, Orange… Why couldn't it all just go away?

Uno sat next to Zero, and looked him in the eye. Uno has concluded that Zero was indeed very pleased with his victory, but, what that a glint of dread?

"Uno, are you reading my eyes again?"

Uno snapped out of his trance, "Sorry sir, my gift has a mind of its own."

"Yes, I understand, did you see anything?"

"Sir, is dread something that you would worry about?"

"Uno, what would I be dreading? I've destroyed Spectrum Village, killed Aqua, and was able to hold down Orange and Green!"

"Wait sir! Hold still!"

Uno's eyes suddenly grew wide, and began to glow. His entire mass of red hair lit up, as well as his claws. He saw someone he had never seen, a silver Lucario, with orange chest fur. Then the image soon rippled, displaying a female Zoroark with hair draping over one of her eyes. Staring deeper, he noticed a crown atop her head, and next to this beauty, his master, Zero.

"Z-zero, there was a female Zoroark in your vision! She had a crown and..."

"A female? Well, well, what else?"

"A silver Lucario sir, nothing to worry about."

"Uno, I want to meet that Zoroark, send out a search party!"

"Yes sir!" Uno let out a howl, and soon, about twenty Zoroark warriors gathered around him. Sei, the neon green Zoroark jumped in front of him, gave Uno a wicked smile, and lead the army out of Nombre Village.

Silver groaned as a light filled the jail cell. A loud creaking echoed though the cell, and standing before her was the black Lucario holding a nasty looking axe. He grabbed her quick, and dragged her out. Silver struggled, but was hit with the stick of his axe, knocking the wind out of the soon to be dead Lucario. When they finally got to the execution field, only a few Lucarios were present. Orange, of course, was there, and his little side-kick, Green. Silver's parents were absent, but many more villagers had come to watch. While some were cheering, others were booing. The black Lucario set Silver on a thick stone disk that was stained with blood from previous victims. The executer tied her down, and dawdled over to sharpen his axe. Sparks flew as the metal blade rubbed against the rotating stone wheel, and soon, the axe was gleaming, showing the image of its victim. Silver's eyes soon closed, as she felt the cold blade press on her neck. The black Lucario brought up the weapon, and took a swing.

Sei jumped around the forest, sniffing every branch, flower, and grass pile for any sort of Zoroark sent. So far, the army was having no luck, and Sei was starting to get fed-up with this search thing.

"My dearest warriors," commented Sei with his always giddy voice. "So far we have no luck, BUT, there is someone in the forest I know of who can help us! They say there is a Glameow by the name of Chanera who is a magic user, we are going to meet her!" Mumbing arose from the crowd, Chanera was a dangerous Pokemon. Legends said that she turned any Pokemon who dared enter her cave into a Magikarp, which she then cooked, and ate. Yes, this was just a child's tale, but it still gave nightmares even to these warriors.

"Anyone who DARES to run away, will be expelled, now my darlings, let's go!"

The army walked for many miles, soon coming across a small stick hut. A scraggly cat-like Pokemon with neck, tail, and ear rings laid on a small porch, sun bathing. Her ear twitched, and she turned her head to meet the Nombre warriors. Sei approached her first with a wicked grin. Chanera looked up at him, and shook her head.

"You army of fools, the one you seek is not of this world." Chanera's curled tail straitened, showing a clear crystal ball. The ball lit up, and began a slide show of images. "As you see, she is from another world, one that has not even formed. Making things a little simpler, this Zoroark is from the future." Chanera switched off her crystal ball, and dashed back into her hut.

Sei sat there a bit, absorbing what he had just heard. The future? That's impossible. How could that fool Uno even see anything from the world that has not come to be? He let out a little whimper, Sei's personal sign on disgust, and let the army back to Zero to tell him the impossible news.

The blade suddenly flew from the executer's hands, putting him in a state of shock. Silver slowly opened her eyes, to a sight that she could not believe. In front of her was some sort of swirling mass of energy. Orange was protesting madly, and the Spectrum village Lucarios has already fled. Silver suddenly gained a surge of strength, and tore the ropes from her body. She was experiencing something she had never felt before. This miracle was meant for her! Why, she had no idea. All she knew is that she really, really wanted to get to that portal! It was like a magnet to her, and forced her to run towards it. Of course, to Orange, that was a big no-no. A sword was soon at her chest. The surprising blade left a nasty scar on her chest, causing Silver to step back a tad. Silver formed an Aura Sphere in her palm, and flung it at Orange. He sidestepped, formed a ball of fire in his palm, and launched it at her. Silver ducked, still sprinting, and leaped into the portal. Everything grew blindingly white around her, as she broke through the realms of time and space.

Luke was fed up with everything. He was so sad, after what Sceppy had said to him. Luke had come to his favorite spot in the forest, which was a little clearing that housed a lake. Luke sat down, his blue fur brushing the green grass. A sun beam hit him, and his red scarf gleamed. Luke thought it was so peaceful here, and wished he could never, ever leave. Soon, he would have to. Today at the Villa, the place where Luke lived was Lily's birthday celebration. If he missed that, Luke would be mocked and shunned beyond belief. He stood up, and brushed the grass from his fuzzy fur, and walked over to the gleaming lake. The cool refreshing water was very tempting on a hot day like this, but what would the others say? Luke hated being gossiped upon, and bullied with mean jokes. He made a choice, today he would stand up for himself! Luke took a leap of faith into the clear cool water. Droplets dotted the sky, and his fur, as he began to relax on his back. He looked up, expecting to see the sun, but instead, was greeted with a mass of silver fur. Luke let out a little yelp, and suddenly jumped up.

"W-who in Arceus' plates are you?"

The silver Lucario gave no response, and Luke noticed she was knocked cold from this epic fall. Luke took some lake water that she lay in and splashed it upon her head. This made the new visitor spring to life, and turn to Luke with a curios expression.

"What the heck is that red thingy around your neck? Why are you blue? Why am I wet? Where is Orange? Is Zero here? Am I dead?"

"Calm down!" yelled Luke, causing this crazed Lucario to stumble back a tad. "This "thing" around my neck is my prized scarf! Most Lucarios are blue, you're in a freaking lake, orange is a color, there are no numbers here, and you look pretty lively to me!"

"Whoa, that was a long answer. Hi! I'm Silver! What's your name?"

"Luke, what kind of name is Silver?" He said, still in shock.

"My name, given to me by my mother and father! You're not very nice!"

Luke took a deep breath, and replied, "Sorry Silver, I'm just a little shaken right now. I've had a bad day, OK?"

"It's OK Luke! I've had a bad last few days! Heck, I almost died!"

"Oh, good for you, well, what in Arceus do I do with you?"

"Feed me, I'm hungry! I was locked in a jail cell all night!"

"Whatever, come on Silver, I'll take you to my home."

As the two Lucarios strolled through the forest, neither of them had any idea of what was to come.
