Hey ho, let's go! (Tyson, Alexis, and Bolt fixing their new clothes and smiles at the camera)
Another day, another quest (Tyson, Alexis, and Bolt and their Pokemon are seen stretching then flashing to Tyson and Bolt sparing)
On the road to be the best! (Tyson in the Kalos League and Alexis in The Grand Festival)
Can't let evil get me down (Tyson is confronted by Brett and Houndoom, Cruz with Ampharos, Serenity with Medicham, and a trainer with their Pokemon shrouded in darkness standing under a man smirking evilly)
Not when I got great friends around! (Bolt and Alexis comes and puts their hand on his back)
I will! (2x) be a champion (Tyson is shown with 11 faded Pokemon behind him)
Let's go! (2x) bring it on! (Ryan flashes with Quilladin and Absol, Lucas flashes with Roselia and Ralts, Molly flashes with Dewott and Charmander and Leon with two Pokemon)
I know there are mysteries to be told (The Hood is standing on top of a huge tower as his Mega Charizard zips forward and breaks the camera)
All I need to do is reach for gold! (Tyson steps on the broken glass and see Owen about 20 steps ahead of him)
Hey ho, let's go! (Tyson, Alexis, and Bolt are standing on a hill, looking at the sunset)
Hey all, it's time for another chapter of Pokemon Kalos Legends! Last time, Ryan battled Korrina and they tied. Good for Ryan, Korrina still granted him the Knuckle Badge. Now, it's time to see Tyson's roots!
El Torro: I'm glad the battle was ranked! But if you think Ryan vs Korrina was good, wait till you see Tyson vs Korrina. And Leon is kinda an ass, he got that gene from Gurkinn. And, what are your guesses on the stones? I would really want to see if you got it right. ;-)
MysticBeatz21: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

"So this is the Tower Of Mastery," Alexis said, looking around the majestic inside of the building. In the middle was a huge statue of Lucario, more specifically, a Mega Lucario. The piece of stone gave off chill and intriguing feeling to the traveling trio.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Korrina questioned. She walked forward with her Lucario as Gurkinn did with a Heracross, and Leon a yellow and red bipedal chicken with two arms.
Combusken, the Young Fowl Pokemon. Combusken battles with the intensely hot flames it spews from its beak with outstanding destructive kicks. This Pokemon's cry is very loud and distracting.
As the group continued walking around, they walked down a long hallway with various pictures on the walls.
"What's with the pics?" Tyson inquired, glancing at every picture.
"Those are trainers who have mastered Mega Evolution," Leon answered, adding an obnoxious tone to it. "Most of the trainers are retired, but I know you'll be able to point out certain trainers."
Tyson growled at his cousin before paying close attention to the trainers on the wall.
"Red," Tyson said, pointing at the picture of a young Kanto Champion with his Charizard. "Steven," next he pointed to a blue haired young man in a suit and tie as a large metal Goliath stood next to him.
Metagross, the Iron Leg Pokemon. Metang combined to form it. With four brains, it has the intelligence of a supercomputer.
"Hey! Ryan's here too, along with Lucas and..." Alexis trailed off as she turned back to see a familiar blonde teen. "BEATRICE! How did she get Mega Evolution?"
Everybody eyed the picture of Ryan, Quilladin, and Absol, then Lucas along with Roselia and a white and green knight Pokemon. It ended with Beatrice with her Glameow and Buneary.
Gallade, the Blade Pokemon. A master of courtesy and swordsmen, it fights uses its extended swords on their elbows.
Bolt was still lagging behind before he stood around the spot where Red and Steven's pictures were and saw a young Lorrina with her Lucario and a familiar looking blonde male with an Umbreon and Charmeleon.
"Yo Tyson!" Bolt called. "I think this is something you want to see!"
The teen walked over to the portrait and immediately turned away. Alexis picked it up and read the name.
"Michael Pernell."
"I hope you'll be happy that this area is where all the legendary Mega Users are," Gurkinn said. He pointed up higher and kept a stern face. "Up there are some of the strongest trainers in the world."
Tyson looked up to see another picture with a girl that had brown wavy hair and gray eyes and saw a familiar amber eyed man.
"Wow, Owen's up there, along with dad," Tyson pointed out.
"You guys know, Mikey traveled a year before Owen came to Kalos," Korrina told the trio. "He beat the league and took down the entire Kalos Elite 4 and Diantha."
"Wow! Tyson, your dad is legendary!" Alexis stated, hugging her friend. Tyson sheepishly smiled as he paid attention to his aunt once more.
"Diantha offered Mikey a spot in the League, but he declined it to help Kira help get ready to have you," Korrina said, smiling at her nephew.
"Did Owen and Mikey ever battle then?" Alexis inquired, which made the mother smile.
"Only once. If I remember correctly, it was a one on one with their Charizards. Owen ended up besting Mikey, but the battle is still ranked highly around the Top 30 battles."
"Yeah, your father was hardheaded, but he had that fire in him that made him special," Gurkinn added in. He crossed his arms and sighed, possibly thinking about Tyson's father as a kid.
"Alright, let's sit down for some lunch!" Korrina proposed, which made the group nod in response.
XXX
"Tyson, why aren't you eating?" Alexis asked the badge collector.
"I just need to figure something out," he responded, which made the coordinator look confused. "I'll be back."
Tyson walked out the room and let the door close behind him. Frogadier and Riolu eyed each other before attempting to rush out after their trainer.
"Wait!" Korrina called, which caused the team members turn around. "Lucario and I will join you. Do you want to come along Leon?"
"Nah. I don't know what's wrong with him or want to know," the boy responded, taking another bite of his sandwich. The mother sighed before opening the door for the Pokemon and herself. They walked up the stairs to the top floor to see Tyson looking out into the distance.
"Hey kid," Korrina called. Tyson turned around to see his aunt along with the three Pokemon.
"We're worried about you," Riolu said. He and Frogadier walked up to their trainer, which made him smile.
"I'm sorry guys," Tyson apologized. "it's just...I don't know what to do. I should be mad at my dad for leaving. I should be curious to know why left. And I shouldn't care less about all his accomplishments."
The gym leader sighed and looked at her partner, who sent her a quick nod.
"I know just the trick!" Korrina said. "A battle! That's how this family is famous!"
"Sure," Tyson replied, looking at the duo in front of him.
"Lucario vs Riolu! He looks like he's a strong little Pokemon!" the mother announced, making Riolu bow at the kind words. Frogadier was about to protest until he renewed Leon's words yesterday.
"Being his starter doesn't always make you the strongest."
"Are you sure you don't want to battle, Frogadier?" Tyson inquired, making the water type wave his hands around. The badge collector nodded as the duo made room for Lucario and Riolu, who both went into a karate stance.
"We'll start off! Go attack with Bone Rush!"
Lucario nodded as he created two blue bones and dashed towards the pre-evolution. Without a word, Riolu started to dodge the incoming assault. Sadly, Lucario chipped the fighting type off the ground and prepared to smash him with the other bone.
"Regain your balance with Force Palm! The follow up with Blaze Kick!"
Riolu quickly pushed hands to the ground as he shoot right back up. Lucario's attack missed while the smaller Pokemon descended down with fire dancing around his foot. Korrina spotted Riolu in the air and cleared her throat.
"Blow him back with Metal Sound!"
Lucario scratched his hands together as a loud definaning sound was created. Riolu grinned his teeth as an attempt to focus his move. The Meta Sound was too much for the Emanation Pokemon as he was thrown back. Tyson growled while his opponents kept their cool.
"Fire an Aura Sphere!"
The final evolutionary form Pokemon lifted an arm in the air. A growing blue orb was created in his palm and had a smirk on his face. Lucario chucked the ball of energy at Riolu.
"Counter with your own!" Tyson countered, throwing his arm to the side.
Riolu opened his arms as an identical sized sphere. Once it was finished charging, Riolu tossed his own Aura Sphere towards Lucario's. The two balls clashed as a huge smoke cloud was created from the aftermath.
"Now intercept with a combo of Quick Attack and Force Palm!"
The tiny fighting type was seen flying through the cloud. With one swift leap, Riolu was in Lucario's face extending his palm towards the jackal.
"Bombard him with Metal Claw!"
Lucario pushed his hands out, which shot metal talons. Riolu's attack was blocked as Lucario sent a flurry of attacks his way. Unable to keep up, Riolu was smashed by the dual type's attacks.
"Get Lucario off balance with Blaze Kick!"
Riolu ducked the last two attacks, which surprised everyone but Tyson. Flames swirled around his foot as he swung at Lucario. The jackal was thrown off as he started to fall back. Riolu, meanwhile, flipped and smashed his foot on Lucario's stomach. Frogadier stood in awe before he looked down again.
"Being his starter doesn't always make you the strongest."
Riolu regained his balance once more and backed up, letting Lucario get some space. The Aura Pokemon stood and grinned at the powerful tyke.
"That was pretty good! Now, Power-Up Punch!" Korrina commanded, throwing a punch into the air.
Lucario stretched out before he went into a karate stance. Tyson, Frogadier, and Riolu blinked before they saw Lucario pivoted his body back. Tyson shook his head quickly and pointed one finger in the sky.
"Use Lucario to ascend with Force Palm!"
The Emanation Pokemon pushed his palm down in Lucario's intercepting hand. Riolu flew up while Korrina still had a smile on her face.
"Blow him up with Dragon Pulse!"
Lucario reared his head back and channeled more energy. In between his jaws, a pink aura formed around it as he shot his head forward. Riolu couldn't react quickly as he was thrown down off the tower.
"Riolu!" Tyson cried, as Frogadier grabbed several of his frubbles. Before he could launch them, an eagle caught the tiny Pokemon and handed him safely to his trainer.
"Nice job Hawlucha!" Alexis congratulated as she ran through the door. "I was looking all over Shalour for you. I saw battling from below the tower and sent Hawlucha."
"I'm just glad to help," Hawlucha replied, bowing to the group.
"You do have that powerful battling skill like Mikey," Korrina said, before apologizing after remembering Tyson's conundrum.
"It's fine," the boy reassured. "I know I have to accept my father's accomplishments. I have to do better than him. I will master Mega Evolution, take down Team Genez, win the Kalos League, and take down the Elite Four and Owen! I'll be crowned the new Kalos Champion! Then I've truly ascended my father's legacy!" Alexis smiled at her friend before running to hug him. Once she realized what she did, she pushed him away and pushed her hair aside.
"That means I'll just have to master Mega Evolution as well. Then I'll win the Kalos Grand Festival!" Alexis proclaimed, with Hawlucha nodding. Korrina giggled before she walked towards her nephew.
"Now, we should start training soon. You'll want to be ready when Kiyo gets here," the gym leader said. Tyson nodded as Frogadier and Riolu cheered.
"I'm going to find you dad. And when I do, I'll make you tell me everything that's happened," Tyson promised. He looked out once more at the scenery before following Korrina, Lucario, Hawlucha, and Alexis back inside.
This is a pretty short chapter, but it gets to the point, I hope. So, Tyson learned more about his father and proclaimed to do a lot of things. Will he do it? Well, just keep reading to find out!
Short Riolu vs Lucario battle; good or bad?
