The next day, Luke was sitting out in the yard. He saw that Alex was hanging around with Sorrel, right at the front door. Glaceon was also outside with Luke, sitting beside him. Luke looks at the two, Alex and Sorrel, thinking. Hm… Luke thought.

Yesterday may have not been one of the best days he's ever had, but's it's near to one of the shoddier days he's had. He sees Alex and Sorrel for about 2 minutes, and it flashes him back in time to a certain event. One event he can't ever forget…


Nearly 15 years ago…

Luke, still a Lucario at the time, opens the door of the house; he's looks around, seeing what the noise was, and stops at an object onto the sidewalk. "What the fuck?" he says to himself. He takes the object from the concrete back in the house.

"What…the fuck…is that?" Eevee asked. He was staring at a baby, unknown what it was, "Was that the thing that was crying outside?"

"I don't know; I've heard that it's a human. I'm not exactly sure about it…"

"Why is it covered in a blanket?"

"You know I'm not sure…" Luke started to unveil the baby, "Oh God." He covered up the baby right then.

"So…?"

"I'm still not sure what the hell he is…"

"So it's a boy?" Eevee looked at Luke.

"Yes apparently."

"So who's the smart one to leave this outside?" Eevee pointed at the baby Luke was holding.

"I don't know." Luke answered. Eevee looked at papers on the coffee table, unknown if he had ever seen them before.

"What is this?" Eevee asked. He picked up the papers, seeing a lot of information: name, birth, footprint, other stuff.

"I don't know; it was under the kid." Luke responded. Eevee looks at it for a while.

"Alejandro…" Eevee said.

"What?" Luke asked.

"I don't know, the name thing says 'Alejandro'." Eevee responded.

"So what: he's from a foreign country?"

"I guess…" Eevee put the papers back on the coffee table. He sees that Luke is staring at the baby.

"What do we do with him?" Luke asked.

"What can we do?" Eevee asked.

"I don't know," Luke responded, "I think the neighbors saw us take in this kid, I don't know if they expect us to take it in…"

"Do we even have the effort and time for him?" Eevee asked.

"Do we even do anything around this house?"

"No. All you do is smoke."

"Okay…we'll take him in. What's his name again?"

"Uh…Alejandro…"

"Hm…we'll call him Alex. When he gets older, we'll tell him his real name."

"Okay." Luke keeps staring at Alex, getting distracted of what could happen in the future.

"Hey Luke…Luke…hey, c'mon Luke…Luke!"


"Luke!"

"Huh—what?" Luke looks around, and sees Glaceon staring at him.

"What the hell were you daydreaming about?" Glaceon asked.

"Uh—nothing…nothing important…"

"Sure, whatever you say." Glaceon then looked at Alex and Sorrel. Luke looks at Alex and Sorrel again. They both see that Alex and Sorrel are having a good time with each other. "Hm; seems like no one's gonna judge on this, right?"

"Yeah…" Luke said in a low voice. He started to remember something in the past…


About 14 years ago…

Both Luke and Glaceon are outside, with little Alex with them. He's just barely crawling around in the grass. Luke and Glaceon are sitting next to each other on the grass behind Alex.

"This is going smoothly so far," Glaceon said, "no one seeing how this could be wrong…" He sees that 2 Pokémon, a Lopunny and a Flygon, walk in front of the 3. They seem to be a little confused at who they are. "What the hell are you staring at?" Glaceon asked the 2. "You never seen two guys take care of something we never seen before?"

The 2 walk away, still confused at them. "We're not gay!" Glaceon yelled at them. "Don't just think that when you see two dudes with a kid!" Luke moved a little away from Glaceon. Glaceon looked at Luke, "never mind of the 'wrong' thing…"

They see another Pokémon walk by, then eventually coming towards them. It had smooth, white fur with luminous red eyes. It was an Absol, a female. They never saw her before. The first thing she says to them was, "It seems hard for two homosexual guys to take care of a baby human, right?"

Both Glaceon and Luke glare at her, not believing what she said. "…Really?" Glaceon asked. "We're not gay. We're just roommates."

"Oh," Absol starts laugh, "Well, sorry about that. So…you're just roommates?"

"Yeah; I'm Glaceon and he's Luke."

"…And the little guy?" She looked at the one crawling in the grass, still.

"That…is…Alex."

"Okay. So how long have you've been taking care of him?" She looked back at the two.

"About…a few months," Luke responded.

"Are things easy into taking care of him or…?"

"Not really," Glaceon responded. "We're can barely feed him and give him shelter."

"I can help you with taking care of him." She started to smile, and looked at the baby.

"Sure. So what's your name?" Glaceon asked.

"Oh yeah; I didn't give my name." She looked back at the two. "I really don't like saying my name…so you can just call me Absol."

"Alright; I'm Glaceon. And this…"

"I'm Luke." Luke responded.

"Alright, Glaceon…and Luke… I can help you out right now."

"That would be great. Thanks." They both saw as Absol turned to the baby and started to play with him. Luke seemed to be relaxed that someone has come to help out; she could take off some of the chores that are needed to be done with the kid.

"Luke…" Glaceon said. Luke seemed to be distracted. "Luke…Luke…"


"Luke!" Luke looked around to see who was calling him. It was Glaceon again. "What the hell are you thinking about? This is like the second time you've been daydreaming."

"I'm not daydreaming," Luke responded, "I was just thinking…thinking of stuff."

"That's basically the same thing as daydreaming."

"Whatever floats your boat man."

"Whatever." Luke stood up and walked off, not saying to where he was going. Glaceon knew why he left without saying; he didn't ask where he left to. Luke needed the time alone, or else what could happen next will screw up all in the future.
