Sean here. This is when Lucario gives me a bit of a fright.

I was now at the top of the stairs, still scrubbing away at the mud that I left earlier. I felt awful and amazing; awful because I made mom disappointed in me, and amazing 'cause it's not every day you save a Pokémon's life!

Unfortunately, my view of Pokémon isn't going to change, but I still think people could me doing something better.

But I know what I'll say won't change anything and I'm perfectly fine with that. I mean, it's not like I'm telling people how to live their lives or anything!

A few hours had passed, and the mess was almost gone. Lucario was up in my room, along with the last of the mud. I sat up to take a break, thinking about the mess. Since it was in my room, I wanted to leave it for later, but knew it would be pretty dumb to leave the mess there.

Plus, I thought Lucario could use some water by now.

I walked to the kitchen, got a bowl of water and headed up the stairs towards my room, careful not to spill anything.

I was at my bedroom door now, bowl in my hands. Poor guy probably needed water after what happened to him.

Carefully balancing the bowl with one hand, I used my free hand to grip the doorknob to open the door.

I entered the room and switched the lights on.

Lucario wasn't in the bed.

In my shock, I dropped the bowl onto the floor. "Oh no no no, where did you go!? I ran from corner to corner in my room. Wherever Lucario was that wasn't my room, was NOT good!

Wait. My room had a bathroom that I hadn't checked yet. I ran to the bathroom and threw the door open.

To my great relief, he was there. Lucario (still with bruises and scratches) was...just standing there, facing the sink.

Okay, what?

I didn't say anything and just stood there, not knowing what to do. Lucario didn't turn to face me, still staring at the sink.

But I knew that he could sense that I was there and yet, he didn't do anything. Then, I spoke. "A-are you alright, Lucario?"

Without turning his head, Lucario's red eyes turned to me. He had what seemed to be an almost angered yet blank expression on his face. But I knew that he could understand me; See, Lucarios are aura type Pokémon, which means the have a special way of knowing what others are thinking and feeling.

Lucario then turned his head to me with the same blank expression on his face, not knowing how to respond. He knew I was slightly scared and knew that I didn't know how to respond as well.

I didn't move from where I was standing.

Lucario then fully turned to face me and took a few steps forward, his blue/black fur and red eyes showing dominance.

I don't know what he wanted from me, all I knew was that he could sense what I was feeling, but I think he somehow knew that I saved him.

Lucario looked at me for a while longer, then limped back to the bed for a rest.

It was getting late and I realized that I should be going to bed, but what was I going to do?

Lucario had my bed, so where was I going to sleep?

As you might have guessed, he sensed my situation and scooted to one side of the bed.

He then looked at me with an almost cheeky look on his face and patted the bed with his paw, gesturing for me to get on.

I hesitated, and what Lucario did next surprised me. He was giving me the puppy dog eyes, a feat that I never knew a Lucario could pull off.

Our staring contest went on for a little while longer, before I finally caved.

"A-alright, fine!" I groaned, walking over to the bed to join him. He gave me a victorious smirk as I lay down next to him.

I had considered sleeping on the floor since the bed was slightly wet and covered in his fur, but I decided to suck it up for the night.

Lucario gave me one last look before turning over and falling asleep. I stayed up a little longer, wondering what I had gotten myself into before joining him in the land of dreams.

Well, I guess now that Sean and Lucario have meet each other, I wonder what kind of misadventures they're going to have. UwU
