Now we're back on track with Tyson! So, this chapter, we will finally see Lucario's dark past and how he met Tyson.
El Torro: Yeah, that's what's it's going to be. I hope this chapter will redeem myself for the disaster of last time.
MysticBeatz21: Contests will be the death of me, lol. And your hype will have to wait till next time!
ShadowDragon9000: I know right! Don't you worry, those two will but heads again. And Lucario's past is kinda sad, depending on how you look at it.
Warrior of Hope: Thanks, it means a lot for me to hear that! And you know, I can see the similarities between Alexis and Lucas then Lily and Nick. Hopefully, Tyson's journeys will continue to interest you. Also, I promise you that Bolt will get a huge jump in power in the Lumiose Arc!

"Run, Riolu! Get out while you still can!" a girl voice ordered as Lucario looked around. He was a Riolu again as he saw huts in flames. People running while either getting turned into a statue by lasers or burnt by the fire.
"What about you?" Riolu asked, communicating with her through aura. The silver haired girl walked towards Riolu and tied a pouch around his neck. She then reached in her pocket and placed the Lucarionite in the bag. Gripping the tyke's arms, she looked into his eyes and grabbed Riolu and started to run. After a huge explosion, the duo flew in the air with Riolu falling into a tree. The girl was fell onto the ground and slowly pick herself up. Bruises and cuts were all over her face as she looked up Riolu with a smile.
"I'll buy you some time, buddy! Just start running!" she said. The teen then snatched her arm in pain. Riolu was stuck in fear once more as the girl turned around. "I said run!"
The Emanation Pokemon bit his lip and began to turn his back on his best friend. The fighting type's ears wiggled as he swung back and saw the teen surrounded by brightly colored green sparkles.
"Heather!" Riolu cried as he leaped down from the tree and ran forward to see Beedrill dropping the spores. Heather's eyes grew dull as she dropped to the ground. Brett stood behind his bug type with a devilish smirk. The Genez Lieutenant pulled out his gauntlet as he scanned Riolu, who feet were glued to the ground.
"You look like a very strong Pokemon, knowing Aura Sphere and all," Brett said, crossing his arms. "But have something my boss needs." Brett pointed to the pouch around Riolu's neck, holding the Lucarionite. Before Brett turned his attention to Riolu, he flipped a button on his gauntlet and aimed it at Heather and fired. The fainted teen was turned to bronze as Riolu cried out at her.
"She can't hear you now, tyke," Brett said, cracking his knuckles. "What you should be worried about is me and my buzzing friend. Beedrill, Aerial Ace!"
The Kanto Pokemon flew high into the air and backfliped to come down. Beedrill was exceptionally faster as Riolu was thrown back into the forest. The tiny Pokemon picked himself up as he saw green darts destroying trees in front of him. Before he got up, Tyson appeared and held his arms out in front of Riolu.
"I got you buddy," he said, flashing his usual toothy grin. For a second, Riolu was relieved until he saw the hatted boy get turned into a bronze statue too. Riolu's eyes widened seeing Tyson drop to the ground. Brett then stood in the fighting type's vision.
"Too bad you're not strong enough," Brett reached his hand out to Riolu as the tyke cried in fear.

"Ha!" Lucario shouted, jumping from his tree. He looked around and saw his other friends sleeping around. Seeing nobody awoke from his loud cry, Lucario took a deep breath and walked away from the group. Every step he took, more memories flashed in his head.
XXX
"Heather, in here is your partner," an old lady stated, pushing a yellow basket towards the silver haired girl. Heather opened it as Riolu sat upwards and looked at Heather. The girl smiled and took Riolu out the basket.
"Nice to meet you, Riolu. My name's Heather! We're going to be the best of friends!" Heather proclaimed, picking Riolu up. Riolu nodded as the partners hugged each other.
XXX
"Get out," Lucario whispered, gripping his paws. His mind wouldn't obey as more memories filled in.
XXX
"Swing with Blaze Kick!" Heather commanded. Riolu jumped in the air and twirled. He extended his foot, which was encased in flames, as it made contact with a Pawniard. The dual type was sent flying backwards and landed on the ground, unconscious.
"Pawniard is unable to battle, the victor is Riolu! That means Heather and Riolu are the winners!"
The small crowd cheered as Riolu bowed to them all. Surprising him, his trainer picked him up and hugged the fighting type.
"Awesome as always, Riolu," Heather congratulated. Riolu smiled and returned the compassion.
XXX
"Stop it," the Aura Pokemon said, a little more violent than the first. Lucario continued to walk farther and farther, but the painful reminders wouldn't stop.
XXX
"Alright, Riolu, now try to focus your Aura into one entity," Heather commanded.
Riolu nodded as he pushed out his hands. Closing his eyes, the tyke channeled energy in front of his hands. A small blue orb was getting larger and larger as Heather started to jump up and down.
"Yes! You mastered Aura Sphere! Grandmaster was right, you did have it in you!"
Riolu opened his eyes to see the ball he created. A smile grew on his face as he stopped the orb and ran towards Heather. His trainer kneeled down to be on equal leverage with the Emanation Pokemon and smiled at him.
"We're getting better everyday!" Heather shouted, to which Riolu nodded.
XXX
"Please, stop," Lucario pleaded to himself. The dual type started to bite his lip as every thought became painful.
XXX
"Help me, Riolu!" voices cried as the tyke ran in the direction of the cries. Once he located the source, he saw Tyson and Heather tied up with Brett behind them.
"Aw, looks like a little hero is here," Brett said, mockingly. Tyson and Heather looked up and smiled at their rescuer.
"I knew you would come, buddy!" Tyson said, grinning at Riolu.
"Of course! He's Riolu!" Heather replied, relaxing. Brett, however, chuckled and shook his head at the two teens.
"Pitiful, looks like Riolu couldn't come in time!" the Lieutenant roared as flames circled the captured duo. They looked in fear as the fire grew close enough to where it started to take them in. Paralyzed by fear, Tyson and Heather were swallowed by flames. Riolu looked out as Brett laughed manically.
XXX
"Leave me alone!" Lucario formed an Aura Sphere as he tossed it in front of him. A small shout was heard as Lucario saw Tyson ducking from the fighting move.
"I saw you walking out, so I decided follow you," Tyson explained. "If I knew you wanted to be left alone I would've left you alone." Tyson chuckled at his joke to which Lucario bowed to his trainer in apology.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, bud," Tyson reassured. He then sat down on the grassy ground and motioned Lucario to join him. The newly evolved Pokemon sat next to his trainer as Tyson looked at him. "Are you excited we're able to use Mega Evolution?"
"Yeah, I guess," Lucario replied, still shaken up by the flashes in his mind.
"I think it's pretty cool," Tyson stated, looking up with a smile. "Other than this Mega Bracelet, we already had Lucarionite, and Korrina and Gurkinn gave us Garchompite. Those two even gave Bolt and Alexis what was needed." Expecting Lucario to say something else, the badge collector turned to see his Pokemon looking disoriented. With a heavy sigh, Tyson eyed the Aura Pokemon. "Tell me what's wrong."
"It's nothing," Lucario snapped, which surprised him. "I'm going to get some sleep." Lucario prepared to get up, but was stopped by Tyson's sharp grip. The trainer stood up and had a serious expression on his face.
"I'm not stupid, Lucario. Tell me what's up."
"When you found me, where I grew up was invaded by Team Genez. The invasion was lead by Brett as everyone was either captured or killed. My old trainer, Heather, tried to escape, but she was captured. She released me so I could get away, but we both could've gotten away if I was stronger."
Tyson released his grip on Lucario and rubbed his head awkwardly. The trainer then looked up at Lucario and pressed his hand on the dual type's shoulder.
"You can't blame yourself, Lucario," Lucario scoffed as Tyson chuckled. "This gives us a good enough reason to take out Team Genez!"
"How can I do that if I couldn't even protect Heather!" Lucario roared. "If I couldn't protect her, how can I protect you?"
"You are strong. Besides, you don't have to do this alone," Tyson said. "We have the whole team, Bolt, Alexis, and any other friends we meet along the way."
"Are you sure, Tyson? Genez is ruthless."
"As long as we keep training and doing our best, we'll take them down!" Tyson proclaimed, pounding his chest. Lucario started to smile as the badge collector hugged his Pokemon. "Come on, let's get some sleep for our Gym Battle tomorrow." The Aura Pokemon agreed as they walked back to the Pokemon Center.

"Now die!" Brett shouted as flames circled Tyson and Heather. Riolu leaped into the air and fell between the captured duo. Riolu glowed blue and became a Lucario as he pressed his palms together. A rainbow orb swallowed Lucario as the dual type emerged in his Mega Form. With a loud roar, the flames flew off while the teen smiled a Lucario.
"Nice job, Lucario!" Tyson cheered, nodding at the dual type.
"I knew we could count on you!" Heather exclaimed, smiling at Lucario.
XXX
Lucario had a smile on his face as he laid on his tree. More relaxed than before, Lucario shuffled a little and enjoyed his dream.

"Why did you call me?" a man asked, standing on top of the Tower of Mastery. Korrina and Gurkinn walked towards the unknown man as he still looked out at Shalour City.
"Well, I thought you wanted to see my next challenger battle me," Korrina said, putting her hands on her hip.
"Well, who is this challenger?"
"Tyson," Gurkinn answered, which didn't seem to faze the man. "My boy, I think he may have a shot at beating the Kalos League. Not to mention he acts just like you."
"So, what do you say, Mikey?" Korrina questioned.
The man turned around and took off his hood, revealing an adult male with long blonde hair. A slight stubble of hair on his chin and a familiar cocky grin was seen. A Charizard and then flew down and landed behind the male as Umbreon jumped of the orange lizard.
So, first off, sorry for this chapter if it seems too separated. It was hard to write something like this, but I hope it was decent to you guys. Anyway, we learned about Lucario's past and the identity of the Hood.
