September 29th,

The School Ambush

Riolu got up as usual, "missed the bus", and walked to school. I have to skip to lunch this time as well.

Totodile moved back to where he was, a very luckily open seat.

Totodile: Welcome back, me! Anyway, how is everyone?

Riolu: I'm doing pretty good, no danger or anything. (Weird, no danger..)

Totodile: What do you mean?

Riolu: Oh, nothing.

Froakie: Riolu.

Riolu: Yes?

Froakie: Can you try to go on the bus today?

Riolu: Yeah, I was going to see if I had lost my claustrophobia... Although I am nervous.

So after lunch, they had went outside again.

Riolu: Good. We're outside again.

Treecko, another Pokèmon from Riolu's class, knocked Riolu down on accident while running from Bulbasaur in a game of tag.

Treecko: See? I told you!

Bulbasaur: *breathing heavily* It's just that... I'm a.. Slow runner..

Riolu: Tag me! I can get him.

Treecko: It won't make a difference!

Riolu: Sure, sure it won't.

Bulbasaur: Ready, Set, GO!

Riolu didn't even start trying to catch him, he just stood there for a few seconds. And then Riolu used Extreme Speed!

Treecko: He probably isn't even near me.

He stopped to look at Riolu rushing up to tag him.

Treecko: WHAT THE--

Riolu: You're it!

Treecko: Ah, you got me.

Riolu: Yep. Anyway, I'm Riolu.

Treecko: And I'm Treecko.

Riolu: Glad to meet you!

So then, after school, Riolu tried to sneak and run home instead of taking the bus like he said he would.

Fennekin: Oh, no you don't.

Riolu: Come on!

So he went on the bus, knowing something bad was going to happen.

So as the drive continued, Riolu felt as if every wall was closing in on Riolu. But that was the least of his worries.

Houndoom was planning back at Stone Cold Cave. He knew he had to get rid of the others to get to the mega stones. And so, he had to go find them to do that.

Houndoom finally found out, and Riolu sensed something.

Riolu: 5,4,3,2,1!!

He braced. Nothing happened. Until about 10 seconds later when Houndoom burst through a door!

Riolu: *Gasps* YOU!

The others noticed too. And everyone else on the bus. The bus driver pulled over.

Pikachu: What are you doing here??

The rest of the bus watched silently.

Froakie: Is this the evil you were talking about?

Riolu: Yes. And he wants our mega stones AND the ones at Stone Cold Cave.

Froakie: Stone Cold Cave?

Riolu: The cave where we found our Mega Stones and bunch more.

Bus driver: Riolu. Do it.

Riolu: (Huh? That voice sounds familiar! Wait, That's Mrs. Audino!) Mrs. Audino! I didn't know you drive busses too!

Audino: Well, it's complicated. But we have to do it!

Riolu: Do you mean, but-- but we can't!

Audino: We have to, even ifeveryone is watching.

Audino got out of the seat, Mega Evolved, and used Take Down on Houndoom! That pushed him across the street to a park. Everyone stood back and watched except for Froakie.

Riolu: Froakie, what are you doing?? Stand back!

Froakie: No. I want to help, at least this time.

Riolu: Fine. But be careful.

And then, he knew Audino was right.

Riolu: Okay. I'm ready!

Riolu Mega Evolved!

Audino: So that is what my Mega stone was doing. You had to mega Evolve for some reason.

Riolu: Yes, and I did it on my own.

The others Mega Evolved and Fennekin and Pikachu powered up.

All: Wow!

Houndoom used Feint Attack on Fennekin!

Squirtle got in the way and blocked it with his shell, then countered with Power-Up Punch! But Houndoom dodged.

Froakie used Smack Down!

And that just missed.

Froakie: Whoops...

Squirtle used Flash Cannon!

It isn't very effective, but that seemed to hurt the most.

Houndoom: Agh... Not again..

Riolu used Aura Sphere!

Treecko: I'll help!

Treecko used Energy Ball!

It isn't very effective..

Houndoom's Special Defense went down!

Squirtle and Riolu used Power Up Punch, Charmader used Fire Spin, Froakie used Smack Down, Treecko used Energy Ball, Fennekin use Psybeam, (Still in Miracle Eye status) and Pikachu used Thunder!

Houndoom: (Maybe.. I should have gotten my mega stone..) You may.. Win this time.. But I'll be back..

The fire surrounding Houndoom went out. They returned to normal.

Everyone cheered.

Riolu: All in a day's work for us... But I am NEVER going on the school bus again.

So then, life proceeded as usual, Riolu went home and so did everyone else.

Stay tuned for Chapter 10, A Mega battle of Giga Proportions!
