Shoutout to Guest Jake for he first review!
Lucarcin POV
I woke up without a lump in my stomach. Something I usually had due to hunger.
I heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen.
I smiled at the thought of having 3 meals a day.
I got up, went to the bathroom to wash the crust that invaded my vision.
I opened the bedroom door and made my way to the kitchen where I saw my savior cooking what looked like to be pancakes.
"I never told you my name. I'm Frisk, Frisk Dreemur."
"I-I'm Lucarcin."
"Well hello there Lucarcin. Breakfast will be ready in about 20 minutes. Feel free to go to the living room. There is a TV, a game console, and some books.
I strode over to the living room to find a large couch, a TV, a game console, and some books.
I went over to the bookshelf and started looking at the books.
None were really that interesting. I turned on the TV and turned the console. I remember how to play video games from my old trainer.
It seemed the cartridge that was inside was a game called Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. I played until breakfast was ready.
"So, tell me about yourself." Frisk asked at the table.
I stopped eating.
"Well, I don't remember where or when I was born, the first thing I remember was waking up in some kind of pet store and a kid comes in with his father and takes me home. The kids name was cercurus. I was with him for about 20 years. Until...one day we were out in the woods catching Pokémon..." I trialed off, tears threating to escape my tired eyes.
"We found a Pokémon...I-It was angry, and it just...it just killed him without hesitation. I ran back to his house and told his father. The father was furious, but the mother tried to tell him it wasn't his fault. He threw me out, but not until beating me..that's how I got the scars on my forehead."
Frisk looked at his forehead and found 3 large black scars that came from his forehead and reached just below his eye.
"I-I'm so sorry...I-I can relate. My parents abused me until I was 8. I ran away from home when I was 8."
Frisk looked away for a moment. Tears started to come from her eyes.
"The person you saved me from last night. He was working with my father..."
I didn't know how to respond. I had emotions, but I never dealt with something like that before.
"W-well, now h-he's gone, so your alright."
"I'm just worried he's gonna find me..."
I could see she was generally worried. I didn't know what to do to comfort her.
She finished her breakfast and put the plate in the kitchen sink.
"I gotta go to class for college. Um, why don't you watch TV or play video games while I'm gone?" She asked picking up her bag and walking to the front door.
I nodded and went to the living room. After a few hours, my stomach started to rumble.
I checked the time, 10:20. I've only been playing for 2 hours.
I decided to get a small snack. Frisk told me I could help myself to the fridge whenever I'd like.
I opened the fridge and saw lots of food.
I saw the ice cream and decided to have it. It was a long time since I had icecream. I got 2 scopes of mint chocolate chip ice cream. After I had the delicious desert, I went to find something to drink. I was looking for water. I couldn't find anything until the bottem. I saw several bottles of an unknown beverage. Most were unopened except one. Water was there just in the back so I just decided to have this instead.
I got a cup from the kitchen cabinets and poured a little bit incase I didn't like it.
The beverage was a solid red color. It looked almost like blood. I presumed it was just the dye. I took a small sip of it and felt a strong taste on my tounge.
After forcing it down I found the taste very good.
Before I knew it, the glass was downed. I drank the entire bottle and felt kind of sick.
In the next 10 minutes there was 3 empty bottles on the kitchen table.
The second the last one was empty Frisk.
"H- Damnit! You got into the alcohol!" Frisk exclaimed rushing over to the table. She took the empty bottles and put them on the kitchen counter before rushing back to me.
She put a hand onto my forehead.
"Hey, you don't feel good."
I made a slight whine.
She began to stroke my head.
"It's ok, you just need rest. Do you think you can walk?"
"N-no...w-what was that I drank?" I asked looking up to face her.
"Red wine, it's a type of alcohol. Tastes good but has side affect."
She looked at me then fumbled her pocket.
She took out a pokeball and released an Absol.
"Absol, carry Lucarcin on my back to my room and put him on the bed."
"Absol sol."
I passed out after a while and woke up to see darkness.
It was night out.
I felt the breathing of someone next to me.
I turned over and saw Frisk with her arms around me.
I smiled and nuzzled further into her neck.
"So, your the new one?" I heard from behind.
I turned around to see Absol laying on the carpet looking at me with a smile on her face.
"Y-yeah.." I replied hesitation.
"Cool, I'm Absol. You obviously should know Pokémon can talk to each other so I won't explain it. Your gonna like it here. Frisk had some great Pokémon. It seems she's more attached to than she was to me." Absol sighed after the last sentence.
"Was?"
"Yeah, Frisk used to love me, but now that your around, she doesn't give me any attention."
The words hit me like bricks.
"O-oh, I-I'm sorry I-" I was cut off by soft chuckling.
"I-I'm kidding, it's been two days, she still gives me attention." Now she was laughing so hard she was gasping for air.
She cleared her throat.
"I'm never gonna fall asleep, it's 3 AM, wanna play a board game or something?" She asked pointing to a nearby shelf with board games on it.
"Sure, why not."
She troted over to the shelf and grabbed a chess board.
I got off the bed and down onto the carpet.
We played for about 30 minutes until she got bored again.
"Are you always bored?"
"Yes! Everything is boring." I smirked, her personality was good already.
I took the board and put it back on the shelf.
"So, what do want to do then?"
Absol got up from her sleeping position and looked at me.
"Talk, I guess."
"So, I got a question, have you ever fell in love?" She asked looking me dead in the eyes.
I hesitated wondering why she was asking me this.
"W-well...no..." I said, looking away at the window.
"Do I look like a cat with mating issues?" She said pointing a clawed finger at herself.
I looked at her, I could tell if a Pokémon ever mated, they would a small mark on their forehead.
"Yes." I simply replied.
She let out a loud chuckle.
"Y-your gonna wake Frisk up!"
"She's a heavy sleeper, don't worry."
She let out a soft giggle, muffling it with her hand.
"It's just that, most would say no." She's laughed again.
I wasn't amused.
This Absol was pretty weird.
"Hey come closer." She said.
I hesitantly scooted over.
She leaned into my ear and whispered something.
"You'll find one soon enough, cutey." She giggled as she retracted her head.
I don't know if it was the ear whisper, or what she said, but I was shocked.
"I'm a tired kitty, pet me!" She suddenly shouted."
She laid her head in my lap.
I decided to do it just to make her happy.
I liked seeing her happy for some reason. She quickly dozed off and so did I.
I woke up and Frisk was still asleep.
I looked down to see Absol quietly snoring
I noticed a scar she had on her back. Actually, multiple long scars reaching down to her tail. There was one above her eye. I guess I didn't see it before since it was dark.
I wanted to touch them and find the story behind them all.
I found my self doing just that.
As I stroked the scars, I wondered how they got there.
They looked like a knife cut but looked like she was restrained during it. Frisk couldn't have done this. I they looked like they all happened over a long period of time. I felt sorrow. She was hurt by humans before. It made me angry. What kind of human so heartless could have done this. She began to stir awake.
"Morning Lucarcin." She yawned and looked up at me.
"You had a dreamless sleep and you feel energized right?" Absol said a smirk forming on her face. I was lost for words, how did she know.
"I'm not a normal Absol, I have some strange abilities. I can make people fall asleep, see their dreams, and energize people. I can also see through someone's eyes that are blue their near future. You want to know the stories behind my scars? Well, to bad, not now. You are interesting one." She said reaching to touch my face. I felt blood rushing to my face as she softly stroked my cheeks.
"You have a story behind your gifts. I wish to know it. Maybe in time I will. I. The meantime I wish to make you feel at home.
"T-thank you..."
"No problem." She smiled wide.
I began to fall asleep again, lulled by the sensation her body against me felt like.
"Enough of this, we are getting up soon, we have to train."
"For what?" I asked cocking my head.
She chuckled.
"I like you already, a lot. We are going to the 7th gym today." I remember that term. Me and trainer tried to beat all the gym leaders over 10 years ago. That was in another region.
"Sorry, I can feel a lot has happened to you..." She said. She got off my lap and headed to the door.
"You coming?" She asked.
"Coming where?" I asked getting up off the floor.
"Were training!" Absol exclaimed.
"Without Frisk?" I asked puzzled at Absols aragiance.
"Yeah, there is a Battle Court in the back of this apartment building."
We walked outside to the court where two trainers finished up a battle. As soon as they left we stepped onto the court.
"Alright, when say GO, we fight, ok." Absol said getting into a fighting stat.
"What if one of us gets hurt?" I asked with worry in my voice.
"Lucarcin, it's 6:30 silly, her alarm is set for 6:35." Absol said as if I was supposed to know that.
I was about to respond when she shouted go.
She lept at me and tried to use shadow claw but I quickly dodged to the right.
She regained her composure and I used a bone rush. She grabbed it with her claws smirking at me.
"That all you got?" She said trying to push my bobe rush back.
I twisted it and gave her a round house kick to the face.
She flew back and cursed as she hit the ground.
I used a dark pulse and her eyes widened as she was hit square in the eyes.
"That's it, no playing around! I'm not going damn easy on you anymore!" She spat.
I rushed at her.
She dodged to the left. I turned around and hit her with a mega punch.
She blocked with her claws. Sending me a few feet backwards. She used this opportunity to jump and use slash sending me tumbling to the ground. She jumped on me and attempted to stab me with shadow claw.
I held her back, but she was starting to push down.
"I must say, your wonderful personality and your fighting style match somehow. This is going to be very fun." A smirk curled into her lips as she noticed the heat rising to ny face.
I did an unexpected head but and used a mega punch. I hit her so hard she was knocked into the gate.
"O-owww, that hurt!" Absol moaned.
"S-sorry!" I shouted.
I was so unfoucused that she was able to use snatch then use shadow claw.
"Never let your guard down, silly." She cooed.
She charged me and I blocked with a mega punch.
She recoil and used a shadow claw. I dodged and tried to jab her with a bone rush. She grabbed the end before it hit her.
She pulled it towards her and grabbed me by the throat.
"Sorry, but you lost." She cocked her head with a smile before finishing me with a night slash.
She troted over to the corner where there what a revive.
She went back over to me and offered it with a claw.
I took it an downed it.
She smiled in response.
"Frisk isn't here yet, guess she slept for the alarm click." Absol said.
We stepped out of the court and out to the park.
We sat and enjoyed the nice spring weather. The wind was soft and not overwhelming which I liked. Absol seemed to enjoy it too.
There were children and pokemon playing together in the distance.
"When it comes to children, Pokémon must protect them no matter what."
"What?" I asked a massive wave of confusion overflowing into my brain.
"Well, the pokemon mew saw the bond between Pokémon and human strong, but not strong enough. That's why we can't talk to them. But Mew said that Human children were to be treated more fairly than adults. If a humans bond with a Pokémon is strong enough. They will have the ability to telepathicly communicate with sed person. That's why I'm interested in you. You can talk big only telepathicly, but out loud. You can also talk to any human, you also know multiple languages. For that to be possible you must have had a bond with a particular human so strong, that your passion for humans is equivalent to that if your own kind. But I'm also interested into how this happened. You don't remember anything until you were around 4, which was 20 years ago, and your trainer is dead. That event should have boosted your level of hate towards humans. But it didn't."
I was interested myself. I should have hated humans more. I wanted to but I couldn't stop myself from.There must have been something from my memory I missed. 24.
"You know for a Lucario that's been homeless for years, your pretty well built. You look like you work out at the gym everyday. Look at those muscles!" I internelly cringed at her excitement over them. Though thinking of her first comment I felt the blood rushing to my face eager to get noticed. I quickly shifted my gaze to some. Children playing catch with a Machamp.
She leaned in closer and gently ran her claw across one of the scars on my forehead.
"This ones a knife slash, looks like you got it in a fight. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.."
I was suprised at how friendly she was even with her rather strange personality. I guess being Frisks Pokémon changed her.
She moved her claw down to the spike on my chest. She lightly tapped it
"I sense that this was used to kill multiple people. Though I sense they were bad people." Absol seemed to relax after she sensed that they were bad people.
I looked at her eyes and smiled.
"Thank you. You've been so nice to me."
"Your welcome, Blue boy."
We decided to head back to frisks apartment. Absol knew a shortcut through the woods so we took it.
Two people and a Mewoth stood at the edge of the woods. Smirks on their faces.
Prepare for trouble and open your eyes."
"Make it double for a nasty surprise!"
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To the people within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Mewoth that's right!"
"The hell are these guys?" I asked glancing to absol.
"These asshats? Oh they call themselves Team Rocket and wanna capture me.
"Mewoth what's she saying?" The blue haired male whispered way to loud into mewoths ears.
"She says, "These asshats? Oh they call themselves team rocket and want to capture me."
They looked stunned.
"Hey Team Dick! Over here!" A voice shouted from behind them.
They turned around and got blasted into the sky.
"WERE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" They screamed as they went farther up into the clouds.
"Asriel!" Absol screamed running over to the person.
The person named Asriel was a goat monster with large floppy ears and dark green eyes. He wore a green sweatshirt which was covered in mud.
"Hey there Ab." Asriel said, bending down and petting Absol. She let out soft purrs which made my thingy want to come out.
I was able to hold it in its place though.
"So your the Lucario Frisks been talking about." Asriel said.
"Let's go, it's gonna rain."
30 minutes later.
"You found them in the forest fighting team rocket? Oh dear.."
"I would stay and chat, but father wants to talk to me. I'll see you later, love you." He said walking off to a black SUV in the parking.
We went inside and dried off from the rain.
"Hey, Lucarcin I'm going to be studying tonight so I won't be in bed, sorry." Frisk said pointing to some test books on a table in the living room.
"It's fine, you need to study."
She smiled and walked off to study.
I walked to the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed. It was so soft.
"You could have asked me to move you know." The all to familiar voice of Absol said. She was curled up in the center of the bed licking a paw.
"U-uh, sorry..." I turned red in embarrassment.
"It's fine, im not moving though if that's what you wanted." She said.
"I never said that.." I muttured.
She let out a loud yawn and rested her head on a pillow.
"I'm going to sleep blue boy. See you in the morning." She smiled closing her eyes.
I moved closer to her to get my head onto one of the pillows.
"Actually I think I'm gonna stay up a bit." She turned to me.
"Something you wanted to talk about?" I asked.
She fiddled with her claws a bit.
"Y-yeah...It's just, I'm pissed that you drank my alcohol."
"Wait, seriously?"
She let out a small laugh.
"No, I'm kidding Blue boy. It's just that, you wanted to know about my scars? Well, I-I was..." She tried to keep the tears in but she couldn't control them. They fell out uncontrollably and she started to cry.
"T-those humans...they did me in every way possible. I was like their toy. I-I" She cried again, curling into a ball on the bed.
I got closer to her and wrapped her in my arms.
"Huh?"
"I can't really relate to something like that, but your ok now. No ones gonna hurt you." I said in a soft tone, attempting to lull her mind.
"L-lucarican.." she whined burying her head into my chest
I dozed off softly after with a huge smile on my face.
