It happened in a blur. One moment Yu was standing on his feet, the next he was on his back. His mind didn't register the pain as he felt a weight settle on him. Casting gray eyes, he meet yellow ones. In an instant Yu was on his feet again, mind reeling; at the ready to go toe to toe with his assailant. His stalker. However, it was not as Yu had imagined. He came face to face... not with a human, but a Pokemon.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me and what's this feeling, are you the one that's following me?". Yu questioned the unknown Pokemon, only to realize that Pokemon don't speak human.
'Yes, I followed you human. Also no I did not mean to attack you. I just wanted you to stop running, wasn't expecting you to turn around. As to your early question, I am a Pokemon called Lucario'...
'Wow, I got an answer... Wait, I got a reply in human language?... "Wait! I heard you TALK?!" Yu was stunned to say the least. First get jumped, now he's talking to a Pokemon.
"So... why can I hear you? I mean your mouth didn't move!". Yu was immediately answered with, 'I think you already know the answer to that'. The mysterious Lucario smirked.
'So he can speak through telepathy, huh'. By this point Yu was working with the logic side of his mind to combat losing his mind. As if reading his mind at the moment, Lucario answered:
'I followed you because you have an aura that's drawn me in'.
"What's aura? How could I have drawn you in? Why are you really here?". Yu kept up his steady questions. Lucario sighed and explained:
'Aura is an emanation surrounding the body of a living creature, or distinctive atmosphere/quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, place or thing. An aura is like a fluctuation of the soul. It untapped potential power. The reason I am here, and the reason I'm drawn to you is; we are destined. We have matching auras that called to one other'. Finally finished, Yu let the new information mull in his mind.
"Our 'aura's call each other? But I don't feel anything, and what do you mean by destined?". Sigh, alright more explanations everyone!
'Yes our auras call each other, it was how you were able to feel my presence. Here look'... Lucario demonstrated by flexing his aura.
'It's golden yellow, just like his eyes!' Yu was amazed by the sight. What was even more amazing was that with a simple touch from Lucario, a golden yellow aura appeared from his body too.
Deciding that Yu had enough evidence to support his claims, Lucario jumped right on his true purpose.
'Yu... the reason I found you was so we could be bonded. You see, when two beings hold the same auras it's like two peaces of a whole come together. We were destined to be partners... which is why I would like to initiate the contract'.
Confused Yu asked what this 'contract' was about. So... after much discussion, the contract was a staple that bind those that held the power of the 'Wild Card' and grants entry to the 'Velvet Room'.
Yu wants to ask more questions, but Lucario states that the contract needs it to be signed when the 'Wild Card' becomes active. Feeling like he was forgetting something important, Yu agreed to the process. Both aura users step forward, hand in paw, match aura levels as closely as possible, and recite the 'Long Nose Song!'... yeah.
The embarrassing song is done, the contract signed and the two are bonded partners. Now what was Yu forgetting... Oh Right! Yosuke!

That's it for this chapter! If you want the Long Nose Song, just look that up. Really... I'm... just not gonna. Anyone wanna take a guess what the next chapter's name will be? Well I won't tell!
