Notes: No sad stuff this time! :)
…
Riley had just stopped for a rest when he suddenly noticed a powerful aura. Something more vivid than he had ever sensed before. He didn't even have to try to hone his senses to feel it…
Riley got to his feet and immediately released his Pokémon, "Lucario! Do you feel that?"
Lucario immediately picked up on it as well. It was headed right for them.
"I know; I feel it too," Riley stared in the direction of this strange aura. It was moving incredibly fast. Too fast for them to have any chance of avoiding it even if they wanted to.
Lucario instinctively stood before Riley despite the fact that they both knew they were done for if whatever was coming didn't happen to be in a friendly mood.
Within moments, the majestic Pokémon appeared before them.
Riley could hardly breathe.
The Pokémon stopped to stare at them as well. Nearly seven feet tall even while on four legs, the Pokémon was a creature of legends.
The fire type refused to move for several seconds as he stared the trainer and his Pokémon down. His eyes were blazing, just like his fur. However, at the last moment, his eyes softened slightly.
Then the beast disappeared as quickly as he appeared in a flash of blazing fire. Fire that, as if by miracle, did not scorch the grass blanketed across the earth.
"That… that was… Entei…" Riley finally found his words.
Before he could think to say anything more, someone ran out of the forest and nearly crashed into him.
"You there!" the young man ordered, "Did you see that just now? Were you able to catch a glimpse of a true legend?"
"Uh…" Riley was still too stunned to speak.
"Judging by your face, you have," the man answered for him, "Where did you see it? Was it Suicune? Or perhaps Raikou?"
"No…" Riley pointed where Entei had just been; this man was asking too many questions and his mouth was too slow and shocked to keep up, "It was… Entei, and he was… right there…"
The man stared at that point on the ground for a few seconds with a look of slight displeasure on his face, "Never mind. I'm probably too late to catch up to him by now anyway… But thanks all the same, I suppose."
"But I wonder…" the man turned slowly to face Riley and look him in the eye, "Just why did Entei decide to approach you? I've been chasing the legendary dog Pokémon for years… Why would one of them choose to come right to you?"
"…I don't know…"
"Never mind. I should be going. Nice meeting you. Farewell," and with that, he left.
Riley was slightly stunned. He didn't even catch this man's name.
He looked over at Lucario and rubbed his forehead slightly. What a day.
…
Notes: Yeah, I totally forget the man's name… You know, he's that guy who always chases Suicune and bugs you all the time for it. I just can't remember his name right now…
