Hi, guys! This is a story I've been working on for a bit. If it gets good reviews, I'll do more! Enjoy!
In the heart of the Kalos region, a journey is about to unfold. It all started on Andre's 14th birthday. He was going to get his first Pokemon… and he was late. Brown, curly, tousled hair as best made as it could possibly be, pulling his gray sweatshirt on, and running the fastest his legs could carry him, he sprinted to the Pokemon School, which he had attended his whole life until this point. He reaches the door to the school, gasping and catching his breath. As he walks in, his mom (Also the professor) hurries him to the lab to give him his Starter Ball. She hands it to him with a proud smile on her face. She had her auburn brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, her glasses upon her head.
"You better not lose this!" His mom says to him humorously.
"Mom, I'm not going to lose this EVER!" Andre replies. "I'm going to catch my first Pokemon today!" Before he runs out the door again, Andre's mom gives him a Pokedex and a hug.
"There goes my little boy!" She says, eyes tearing up.
"Oh, Mom!" Andre exclaims. As he walks towards the door, an ear blasting explosion throws Andre against the wall.
Andre stirs, coming to, and the lab is…gone. The walls are burned, the roof is gone, and his mom is laying on the ground. He hears sirens and looks up to see the police and firemen putting out the smoldering walls. Before he loses consciousness again, he watches helplessly as Gang members take his mother away.
He wakes up, and its nighttime. For whatever reason, he wasn't in the hospital. He looks around and finds two big brown eyes watching him. It's a Riolu that seemed to have wandered over to him. It had blue and gray fur all around, except for its big brown eyes. It had a black, collar-like ring around its neck.
"Wha…. What happened?" Andre stammered.
"Rio-lu" The Riolu replies.
"I… I don't understand, Riolu." The Riolu then began to draw in the dirt with a stick it had been prodding a fire with earlier. It drew… a rocket… a bomb… and heads with angry faces on them. Andre put the pieces together. "Rocket… bomb… Men?" The Riolu shook its head.
"Rio"
"Um… Rocket… bombed… by evil men?" The Riolu then pointed to the bad men, the bomb… and then to the lab. "Bad men bombed the lab… Team Rocket?"
"Rioolu!" The Riolu exclaimed as it leaped into the air.
"So team Rocket bombed the lab? I have to stop them!" The Riolu then gave Andre a quizzical look that seemed to have said, how? "I don't have a Pokemon yet, though. I just started my Pokemon journey earlier today. You hate team Rocket too, right? You could be my partner. Believe it or not, I was looking for a Lucario, but this is the next best thing." Andre then held out his Starter Ball to the Riolu. Riolu slowly approached, reached out it's hand, and tapped the Starter Ball's button. With a smile the Riolu faded to a deep shade of blue, morphed into a sphere of energy, and slipped right into the Ball. The Ball shook once…. Twice… three times… and then stars appeared above the ball. Andre then tapped the Ball's button, and Riolu rematerialized. "Let's become Pokémon Masters!" Andre yelled.
One week has passed, and Andre has trained his Riolu tirelessly. Their drive to defeat team Rocket has helped them surpass their current limits. They are currently battling a wild Heracross.
"Riolu, use Force Palm!"
Riolu's fist begins to glow, and it bashes the glowing fist against Heracross, knocking it back. The angry Heracross then spews string out of its mouth, and it settles in a circle around Riolu. The string then tightens, pinning Riolu's arms to its sides, unable to attack. As Riolu struggles against the string, the Heracross picks Riolu up with the string and slams Riolu back into the ground. Riolu cries out, and a wave of aura is exuded from the Pokémon. The Heracross is slammed into the tree, unable to battle.
"Riolu, return! I think we've done enough training already. Let's go do something fun for the day."
"Rio-lu!" Riolu replied.
"How about ice cream?"
"Rio!"
"Alright, then!"
Andre and Riolu walk into the city and up to an ice cream store.
"We would like chocolate mint please!" Andre said to the waiter.
After they receive their ice cream, they go outside to sit and eat.
As Riolu and Andre eat their ice cream, three trainers watch nearby…
That afternoon, thunder clouds begin to form, and the day is coming to a close. A girl is walking through the streets, looking for her Litten.
"Litten, where are you!" She cried.
"Litt-en Lit!" A moody Litten replies from the top of a building.
"Litten, I'm sorry that I left you by yourself in the car, but I didn't want you to attack anyone in the store! You know how you get sometimes!"
"Lit!"
"Litten, please…."
"Grrr… Litten."
The Litten then jumped from the building into the girl's arms.
"Thank you, Litten! I care about you so much! I hope you can forgive me."
"Litten Lit!"
Andre and Riolu are watching nearby.
"Riolu, would you ever do that to me?" Andre asked.
"Rio, Ri" Riolu replied, shaking its head.
"Ok, good."
The pair begin to walk towards the girl petting her Litten.
"Hi, you must really care for your Litten for it to have forgiven you that fast. Litten are normally really moody Pokémon." Andre said to the girl. "What's your name? I'm Andre."
"Hi, I'm Lillie." Said the girl.
"My Riolu and I here are looking for a crime organization called team rocket. They attacked my mom's lab and kidnapped her."
"Oh, my goodness! I haven't seen them, but I can help you find them. How could people do such a thing!"
"I woke up with Riolu by my side. It was wild at the time, but it decided to join me. We've been together ever since. Well er, about the last week."
"Is your mother OK?"
"Honestly, I haven't seen her. I'm looking for her too. I don't know where she was taken, so I still have to find her. I hope she's ok.
"It's kind of late. Are you staying in town? I'm going back to Alola soon."
"Yeah, I'm staying in town until I find my mom. If she's ok, I'm probably going to go to another region. I haven't decided which one, yet."
"Well, maybe I'll see you tomorrow? At this spot?" Lillie asked.
"Sure. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night."
"Night."
Lillie walked away with Litten in her arms.
"Let's go to the beach to watch the sunset before it starts to rain."
As if on cue, lighting flashes through the air, and a loud boom echoed throughout the city. It began violently pouring. Andre and Riolu ran as fast as they could to the nearest Pokemon Center, where they could take shelter for the night. With a beep as the automatic doors to the Center opened, Andre and Riolu came tumbling in from the rain. Nurse Joy, just beginning to close up for the night, jumped, startled along with her Pokemon, Blissey.
"Sorry to be a bother, but could we stay here for the night?" Andre asked pleadingly.
"Um… sure. I have a spare room you can stay in." Nurse Joy said.
"Bliss!" Her Blissey replied.
Just then, three loud BOOMs shook the room around them. The roof was lifted off the Pokemon center, and there was team Rocket again, with a huge mech shaped like a Meowth. The mech threw the roof away, and rain began pouring in. Nurse Joy and Andre both got into battling positions, ready to fight.
"Riolu, use Force Palm!" Andre yelled to his Pokemon.
Riolu's fist turned a light red, and it punched the mech with haste. The left leg of the mech was ripped from underneath it from the blast.
"Blissey, use reflect!" Nurse Joy called to her Blissey.
Her Blissey closed its eyes, concentrating. Then it opened them and yelled, "Bliss!". All of a sudden, a pink, hexagonal prism covered the two trainers, blocking the rain and, hopefully, attacks from the mech. The mech swung its arm with brutal force at the forcefield, but the pink shield stayed strong. The second time, however, crushed the force to dust. It then shot its arm with a rocket at Andre and Riolu. The two jumped onto the arm and ran up to the head of the mech.
"Riolu, Blaze Kick!" Andre called.
Riolu's feet lit with a blazing fire, and it kicked the mech as hard as it could. The metal melted and shrank until you could see the Team Rocket members inside. The mech raised its remaining arm and punched Riolu and Andre off its shoulder. Before they hit the ground, Blissey ran to catch them and they fell onto the soft, squishy Pokemon. The mech then opened its mouth and the rocket members came out with their hands up, but they had devious grins on their faces.
"How about you wipe those smiles off your faces before we beat the crap out of you again." Andre said, trembling with rage. "WHERE IS MY MOM!?"
The first Rocket member spoke. "We ain't telling you squat."
"Yeah, Nothin'!" The second said.
"Hey, that's the kid we left to die when we blew up the lab and took his mom to the secret base in- The third was cut off by the second.
"Would you shut up! We said we AIN'T TELLING HIM SQUAT. That means NO secret plans or base locations. So dumb."
The first remarked, "Well, we came to take all the stuff here, but if you're in our way…. We'll have to destroy you." The first Rocket member pressed a button, and the mech, poised to strike, launched itself at Andre. Just before the mech hit him at full force, Riolu jumped in the way of the attack. With a sickening THUD, Riolu was blasted through the wall and hit a tree so hard it fell down. Andre ran over to Riolu in the pouring rain, thunder and lightning sounding all around.
"No-RIOLU NO!" Andre's voice broke. "NO! I lost my mom… I can't lose you too…." He began to cry as his memories with Riolu flash back. Training so much, meeting new people, all those memories…. And now Riolu was gone. "I…. I love you, Riolu."
Riolu then began to glow. Its two feelers turned to three, a spike began to jut from it's chest, and gold fur surrounded the spike. It had evolved into a Lucario! But it wasn't just some regular Lucario. The spikes that should have been on the wrists were blue flames. Its tail was golden fur with ice on the end. And it's whole being glowed blue and purple. Its fists glowed with power. It glowed so bright you could see it from Lumiose. Atop a gold crest on it's head there was a stone, black and blue and purple. Lucario summoned a golden bone staff, created a purple sphere, and charged the mech. It threw the orb of aura at the mech, and it got bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until it was the size of a house. It slammed into the mech, disintegrating it instantly. But it wasn't done yet. It sprinted so fast it was invisible, reappeared in front of the members, and picked them all up with telekinesis. The Lucario spoke so loudly with its mind that Nurse Joy and Andre could hear it clearly. "Where is my master's mother!?" The three men said simultaneously, "Underground in Kanto! Our secret base is there! Third door on the right!"
Then Lucario dropped the men and disappeared. It teleported back with Andre's mother in its arms. It then focused energy on his mother's body, and she was healed of her slight injuries. The Lucario took the crown off its head, and it reverted to a normal Lucario.
"Lucario… DO IT AGAIN!"
After consulting his mother, Andre found out that the crown was an ancient one worn by the leader of some large groups of Pokémon when they all lived in one place, before they traveled to other parts of the world. His particular Riolu had found it and kept it, and when it evolved, the energy reanimated the powers of the crown. It was called…. The Crown of The Void. Since Andre's Lucario's energy had been transferred to the Crown of The Void. His Lucario could use it, but it could also be used by other trainers and Pokémon if the bond is strong enough. It was another mystery that was included with the Bond Phenomenon. Lucario could create wormholes, create anything out of nothing, and gain incredible power, much like Mega Evolution.
"Though… Andre…" His mom said.
"Yes?" Andre replied.
"Since Lucario and your essence were in the same place…"
"Are you going to say what I think you're going to say… because if you are, I might die."
"Yes…. You can use the crown as well."
Professor used Truthtelling!
It's Super Effective!
Andre Fainted!
