Now To Answer Some Reviews:
Guest- Yeah, I know about that. Remember it all tOo well... I am going to be doing something about Lucario's past but it won't be here. I'll be doing something else after this whole story is done. Like one-shots and such. Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
eif- As to who Luna who is and what she is, she's not really prone to cold or hot temperatures like normal Humans. I really do wonder, as well, Iris will become a Dragon Master, for she will have to get over that flaw. Hmmm... Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.

Chapter 28
Subway Stamp
Place: Somewhere in Nimbasa City, South of the Desert Resort, Central Unova Region
After my battle, I had caught wind of Ash having a battle later that day. It wasn't a surprise that he had won the Bolt Badge as well. The Driftveil Drawbridge wouldn't be done until sometime tomorrow afternoon. So, a day after the Gym Battle, today, I decided to spend sometime with my friends. They were all delighted to that idea. They even commented on how they liked my outfit!
"Hey, Cilan!" Ash called to the said man as he ran down the stairs into the subway station. Iris was right behind him. I was right behind her.
"Cilan what are you looking?!" I huffed, taking a deep breath. Why was he in such a rush this early in the morning?
"Let's see... Let's see..." He mumbled, looking around. "There it is!" He declared in victory, stepping on it as he turned left.
"Wait, Cilan!" I tried to grab him but he escaped though my finger tips.
"Geez, there's no need to rush," Iris said, exhaling slowly, trying to catch her own.
He turned his head to us, pointing at something. "This, this is it! The subway stamp rally!" There was a poster placed over a small stand with a stamp and a stack of empty cards.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Listen," he began as he took out a card that had a series of numbers, "It's said that it usually takes at least three days to collect all sixty stamps. But today's the final day." He slumped over.
"Huh? But then..." Ash frowned. "...it's impossible."
The Pokémon Connoisseur let out a chuckle. "But I want to achieve it in one day, or, until the deadline of four o'clock!" A fired burned in his green colored eyes. He took a stamp and placed it on the first one.
"Getting fired up over collecting some stamps..." Iris mumbled, a scowl appearing on her face. "You're sure a child as well, Cilan."
For once, I had to agree with her. "Ah." I nodded, scratching my cheeks.
He waggled his finger. "If you complete the stamp rally," he pointed at the poster that had both Ingo and Emmet pointing at us. "you can battle either of the two famous brother, Ingo and Emmet!"
"And you want to win so you can battle one of them," I concluded. He grinned brightly at me.
"For fans of the underground railway, this is the greatest possible honor," he praised, letting out a dreamy sigh.
Even when Ash expressed an interested in battling one of the Subway Masters, he had already promised to spend the day with Iris. They were going to go sightseeing. They waved goodbye to me while Cilan was daydreaming.
When they were gone, Cilan had blinked and looked around. "Huh? What?! Hey...!" He whined as he watched them leave. He turned to me, eyes drooping into a puppy dog look. "Come with me, please?"
I glanced at Lucario. We had planned to look for some sights as well. He gave a shrug. "We had done some sight seeing yesterday, so I am happy with whatever."
I looked back at Cilan. "Well..."
Cilan shot right up, grinning. "Wonderful!" He placed an arm around my shoulder. "Come Luna, let's go on an adventurous journey to collect the stamps!" He spun around then, letting me go. "It's subway time!"
Yup, same old Cilan...

Time: 11:00 A.M.
We were still in the Subway, searching for the stamps. We had found nine of them in all, I had found three of them myself.
"All right, we got a Pansage too!" Cilan cheered, pressing the stamp onto the card. After placing the stamp back where it belonged, he held up his hand in the air at me. I copied his movement, giving him a high five.
Cilan's gaze scanned the surrounding area. "The composition of the timetable and the amount of people in the trains along with the structure of the station and the location of the stamp corner. I'll mobilize all my knowledge as a Metro Connoisseur and make sure to that we can complete this!" He point onward. "Time will run out at four p.m."
"So, where to next?" I asked him, lowering my hand. Lucario had grabbed onto his when it was by my side, not letting go.
"It should be this way!" He grabbed my other hand, pulling us along to a subway car. "The next one should be in the next station!"

Time: 11:33 A.M.
We had gotten more stamps, the twenty second one to be exact. "We're on a roll here, Cilan!" I giggled, clapping a few time in excitement.
He grinned at me. "That may be but there's many more we have to fine before four. So let's go!" He started to run when he spotted another stamp station a few yards away.
Glancing at Lucario he gave me frown. "What wrong?"
He hummed before asking, "How can people find something so... mundane... so interesting?"
I walked along, following after Cilan. "Well, I am sure that though you find it mundane, people like Cilan find it fun to this type of thing. It's about the time you spend with friends. That's what we're doing with Cilan."
"Do you find this interesting?"
"Not really," I confessed, sighing. "But I like spending time with Cilan. He my friend." I laughed as he had reached the next stamp station, waving to me. "It's pleasant to have friends. C'mon Lucario," I told him, dragging him after me.

Time: 12:10 P.M.
We had made significant progress, getting thirty five stamps now. "Well, well." He placed one hand on his hip."Now we got all stamps from line four as well!"
A girl with light blue eyes covered by round glasses and brown, shoulder-length hair approached us. She more a white shirt with a pink sailor color and a pink skirt that had a bow with right side. "Excuse me, how can I get to the amusement park?"
Seeing my confused look, Cilan took over. "If you take the express on platform two and get off at the third stop. Then you'll get to the amusement part station."
She looked to her side. "Platform, third stop on the express..." Nodding to herself, she thanked us and was on her way.
"You're welcome," Cilan said back.
"Have a safe trip," I told her, waving as she walked away. I couldn't help but frown when she had that worry expression. Eh, if it came back to me I'd see what I would do. I turned back to my friend.
"All right, we'll conquer line five next!" He exclaimed, pumping his fist in front of him. "Let's do this, Luna!" He walked on to find the next station. I followed behind him with a board Lucario beside me.
Place: Nimbasa City Subway System, Somewhere in Nimbasa City, South of the Desert Resort, Central Unova Region
Time: 2:45 P.M.
"There's only one stamp left, Luna," he said happily, staring off in the distance. "Th battle with a Subway Master is drawing closer!"
I let out a long internal sigh. Finally! "That's wonderful Cilan... It really is." I gave him a pat on his shoulder. Giving the man a helping hand was the least I could do with him always cooking those delicious and mouthwatering meals for me. Looking around, we both noticed the same girl Cilan had helped before.
We each glanced at each other as she mumbled confused, "Uhm... Uhm..." She was looking at the subway station map.
Cilan walked up to her. "Hey, so we meet again." He gave her a friendly smile.
"Hi," I said from behind him, looking from the side of him.
"You're the two from earlier..."
"I'm Cilan"
"Luna."
"Ah!" She bowed her head slightly as she introduced herself. "I'm Erina." When Cilan had asked why she didn't go to the amusement park, she explained, "I wanted to but... the thing is, I got on the wrong train again..."
I raised an eyebrow at her. "Again?"
"I came her with a friend to play." As her shoulders slumped, her tone gained a depressed edge. "Bu we got separated... I thought my friend might have gone ahead and boarded the train already, so..."
"...you boarded one too, but it turned out to be the wrong one and so you ended up here," Cilan noted.
"Yes..." She nodded. "I'm terrible with trains. I always end up taking the wrong one..." That one was kinda obvious.
"In that case, leave it to me!" Oh no...
"Huh?" She blinked.
"It's the Metro Connoisseur's beautiful subway time, with which we'll swiftly solve this issue like a commuting express!" Cilan had a an arm around the poor, puzzled girl's shoulder, pointing off into the distance. I rubbed the bridge of my nose. He could be such a child, sometimes...
Looking up, I saw Ash and Iris there with another Axew, a female with a pink bow on her tail, as they passed by on the express train.
"Hey, Erina," I called to her. She perked up, looking at me as she pushed up her glasses. "Your friend wouldn't happen to be a female Axew with a pink bow on her tail, wouldn't she?"
"Eh?!" She looked at the passing train, catching a glace. "There she is!"
"What?! Inside that train?"
"Please wait!" She yelled, chasing after it.
There was another sigh. "Let's go, Lucario." He grunted as we once more chased after Cilan and now Erina.
Place: Nimbasa City Subway System, Somewhere in Nimbasa City, South of the Desert Resort, Central Unova Region
Time: 3:00 P.M.
As we arrived to another part of the station as the express Erina's Axew was on stopped here earlier as well. It wasn't a moment to soon when the girl spotted a message of a paw print and little doodle.
I glanced at Lucario. "You know where the little one is, don't you?"
"Ah." He glanced at the train that had just left. "The Human's friend with Ash and Iris." He took a look at the note. "They heading back to the amusement park."
"The amusement park! Axew!"
Erina and Cilan were about to run onto on a subway train when I pulled both of them back. "Hold on you two! There's no need to rush." I gave them a smile. "I've got a better idea then racing onto that train like there's no tomorrow."
"Ah!" Erina gasped when the door's closed and the train zoomed passed us. "The train!"
"Why did you do that, Luna?!" Cilan gave me a disappointed look.
"Because there's an easier way to all of this!" With the curious looks given to me, I gave them a mysterious smile. "Come with me." I pulled them along with me.
Place: Nimbasa Central Station, Nimbasa City Subway System, Somewhere in Nimbasa City, South of the Desert Resort, Central Unova Region
Time: 3:50 P.M.
"Erina!" Axew shouted, wiggling out of Iris's arms. She ran into the waiting arms of her Trainer. "I missed you so much, Erina!" Tears started to come out out her red eyes.
"I'm sorry," Erina sniffled out. "You must have been so lonely." She squeezed her Pokémon a bit tighter. "I'll never let go of you again."
"A hot and sweet taste strikes my heart," Cilan said passionately, his arms moving around. He had come up behind Iris and Ash, accompanied by Ingo and Emmet. We were off to the side, watching things play out. "It's a truly moving reunion."
"Cilan! Luna!" Iris spoke first.
"Emmet and Ingo!" Ash said after. "What's this all about?"
"The thing is, Luna and I ran into Erina and the three of us were looking for her Axew." The Green Haired man explained.
"But how did you know she was with us?" Iris inquired. "And that we went to the amusement park?"
"It was thanks to your message and to Luna. She was the one who figured it out first and had the idea to contact Ingo and Emmet so we were able to get to you so quickly." Cilan grinned at me.
"When you and your friends are in trouble, we cannot just leave you on your own, Ash." Ingo said, arms clasped behind his back.
Emmet had mimicked his twin's movement. "In return for what all you did the other day, we fully made use of our powers as Subway Masters."
"I'm just glad that Erina and Axew could reunite." I gave a pat on the girl's head. Then rubbed her Axew's head fondly.
"Yes!" She beamed us a smile. "Everyone, thank you so much!"
Then it had dawned on Iris when she asked about Cilan's progress in the stamp rally. The man had began to panic as he realizes that he has yet to acquire the very last stamp needed to achieve his dream - the Axew stamp.
It was at that precise moment, a voice over the intercom had announced, "It is now four o'clock in the afternoon. With that, the subway stamp rally has come to an end. Thank you very much to the many people who have participated."
"Ah..." Cilan sank to the floor, a waterfall of tears escaping his eyes. "The greatest honor, my longtime dream, the battle I've been longing for is passing by right in front of my eyes..." He lamented, reaching out his arm to try to catch his 'runaway dream' "...like a special express!"
Erina actually had the Axew stamp, offering her's to Cilan, as she had thought it would be a clue to search for her missing friend. He had taken it, looking down at it with worry. Gazing at the two Subway Master, they both smiled at each other, agreeing to have a tag battle. Cilan had asked Ash to be his partner as he had expressed interest in the battle before hand. I waved him off, saying it would be nice to watch when he had turned my way.
The tag battle was between with Emmet's Eelektross and Ingo's Chandelure against Ash's Tepig and Cilan's Pansage. I had the chance to scan both Eelektross and Chandelure into my Pokédex as well. It said:
Chandelure, the Luring Pokémon and the evolved form of Lampent. Chandelure uses its dancing flames to hypnotize opponents.
Eelektross, the EleFish Pokémon. Eelektross's mouth locks onto its opponents, where upon it delivers an electric shock.
It got off quick right off the bat, with a very heated start between both sides with fierce attacks and combinations. It showed how deep the boys friendship really was. Even with Cilan's 'Tasting Time' and 'Subway Special' moment, it didn't stop from the spectacular performance both sides did. Even with all that, Ingo and Emmet still emerged victorious in the end.
Place: Ferris Wheel, Amusement Park, Eastern Part of Nimbasa City, South of the Desert Resort, Central Unova Region
By the time the sun was setting it was evening. The sky painted an array of pinks, oranges and yellows; the clouds boasted mystical color, promising for a calm and peaceful night. The clouds and colors blended so well together to make it seem like it was a watercolor painting, dripping and mixing with the sky as a canvas. The hues the sun brought showed the town in a different picture. It seemed more magical when looking out the window from the Ferris Wheel with Lucario.
"It's breathtaking, isn't it?"
"It's something, I'll give you that."
I gave him a bland look. "Do you have to be like that, Lucario?" He still looked out the window, shrugging. I shook my head. Whatever. Turning to look back out the window, I smiled as I watched the sun finally set and the night come alive.
Author's Note: Happy Memorial Day everyone! I hope you all had a good time as I know I did. I went to Gatorland today with my family. It was very fun and I got to take lots of pictures. I also had my graduation party with all my friends coming and it was a blast! This whole weekend was awesome! Even reached over 200 reviews! This is just so cool! I even had time to write a chapter, though it is a week late. Sorry about that. I'll try to make sure they're out weekly from now on! This chapter was more filler then anything else as the next one is more action packed.
