A/N Hey guys! Shorter chapter today, but some important information in my notes!

I realized right after I posted the last chapter that I forgot to describe Luke's outfit. He is wearing a blue full-zip hoodie (unzipped), a white undershirt, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of blue-and-white high tops. Shout out will be given to whoever tells me where I got that color scheme.

Reviews answered at the end. Enjoy!

Chapter 3:

Luke and his pokemon barely made it to the Pokemon Center before it started pouring. He covered his Riolu's head with his jacket as he scrambled through the doors. He walked up to the counter and was greeted by Nurse Joy. "Would you like me to do a check-up on your pokemon?" she said, smiling at Luke.

"Yes. In fact, could you do a more thorough check on them? My Riolu just hatched, and I saved Honedge from some Pokemon thieves. I want to make sure they are both okay." Luke replied, removing Riolu's head from his jacket and holding him out.

"Sure. In fact, you should probably be present for Riolu's examination, since you hatched him. Most newly born pokemon want to be near familiar faces when they are having their first couple of check-ups. That way, they get used to us nurses and won't get freaked out when they come in for check-ups later."

"That makes sense," Luke said, walking behind the counter with Nurse Joy and into the exam room. About ten minutes later, he walked out, holding his Riolu. He had returned Honedge to his ball.

Nurse Joy followed, saying, "Both your Pokemon are in good health. Your Riolu appears to have a really strong bond with you, considering it would not let go of you!"

Luke grinned as he remembered how difficult it was to pry Riolu's fingers off of him when it was his turn to get examined. "I'm also glad the Honedge was not injured badly when he was captured. Now, can I check out a room?"

"Sure, you can have room number 120. It's at the end of the hall." Nurse Joy replied, pointing up the stairs.

"Thanks!" Luke said over his shoulder as he climbed the stairs. He walked down the hall and entered his room. It was spacious with two beds, a small refrigerator, a desk, and a lamp in the corner. A door led to a small bathroom with a shower. He released Honedge, who floated around, looking at the contents of the room.

"Where we headed, Luke?" the floating sword said, leaning up against one of the beds.

"Well, I plan to head to Unova in the morning. I like a couple of the Pokemon native to that region, so I figure it is a good place to start as any." Luke said, setting Riolu down on the other bed. "But first, let's get some rest. While you guys are going to be in your Pokeballs on the way there, I at least, need to get some shut-eye. Honedge, you take that bed. I'll keep Riolu with me." Luke tucked Riolu in, then went to take a shower.

When he got out, he saw that Honedge had closed his eye and Riolu was curled in a ball on the pillow. Luke grinned, climbing into bed and promptly falling asleep.

A couple of hours later, Luke jolted awake to a crash. Riolu's eyes shot open, and he started shaking in fear. "I'm scared, daddy!" he cried, curling up into a ball.

"It's okay, Riolu. I'll take care of it." Luke said. Then he turned to Honedge. "Ready?"

The Ghost-Steel type responded by exiting his scabbard and floating over to his hand. Luke grabbed the hilt and snuck out to the lobby.

As he approached the balcony, he saw two different team rocket grunts and a talking Meowth trying to steal the Pokemon in the center. Ash was doing all he could to stop them. Luke was ready to jump into battle when the Pikachu jumped onto a nearby bike and yelled, "Take that!" unleashing a thunderbolt so strong, Luke had to take a step back to avoid getting shocked, and he was 30 feet away from the target.

The three grunts shot off into orbit and Luke smiled. "Looks like we aren't needed here, Honedge," he said to his sword as they walked back to their room. Once back in bed, they quickly fell back into waking dreams.

After breakfast, the crew walked outside and into the forest. Once they were out of sight, Luke turned to his companions. "You guys ready to head to Unova?" They both nodded, and Luke returned them. Then he transformed into his Latios form, turned invisible, and shot off towards their first region.

A/N Hope you enjoyed it. Now on to reviews!

Latiash: Thanks for the compliment! First, most of the chapters will be from Luke's perspective. However, as I add characters, there will be other POV's. Once I pass Mekon's story end, then I will have to add Ash's perspective to the mix. Legendaries, in this story, all have basic psychic powers, like telepathy and a human form. They don't use them often, but it is an option. The legendaries who visited Luke are Mew (Melonie), Victini (Victor), and Celebi (Caleb). Most legendaries create a form based on their true form. Latias doesn't because she doesn't have as much exposure to other people as the other legendaries. They do "turn" into a human, but they still are a Pokemon. That way they can fit through doors. And yes, Bianca exists. That is too big of a plot point for me to remove.

Guest: Thanks for your understanding! I will take your tips into consideration while going forward. And longer reviews are fine and appreciated. That means that I roped you in and you want to know more! Seriously though, longer reviews force me to go into more detail and they help me grow as a writer. Also, please use an account so I can tell who you are when other guests start reviewing.

Help Wanted! I need 4 pokemon for Luke's team. PM or Review with suggestions!

The next chapters are going to be different events throughout his journey, so there will be some time jumps. Review if you want to give feedback or ask questions. PM if you want. Please, no flames as I am a beginner writer. See you all next time.
