Hello everybody! KenyaCalico7743 here! First off, let me apologize for taking so long to get this up. College has not been so kind to me, but I am pulling through, so please understand the concept of the situation and that I may not be putting up chapters for a while. But like I had said before, I will do my best in getting this story done.

Now, I want you all to know that I am thinking of making two sequels to this, but those may not come for a while. I have the outlines made, I just need to write everything and all that. But sadly those may not come til either the winter break, spring break or even the summer break that I have this year so please be patient with me until further notice.

As for this chapter, the inspiration songs are "Run Free" and "You can't take me" from Spirit stallion of the Cimarron. There were no others songs, but if this chapter reminds you of a song, please let me know and I will look into it, help is much appreciated from anyone.

I hope you all enjoy this chapter and let me know if I should continue. Don't forget to R&R please! ^^

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or the movie Lucario and the mystery of Mew, nor the other movies that I have gained inspiration from (Tarzan, Prince of Egypt, etc.) I only own the characters that I have created.

Chapter 4

While Brock prepared lunch, Lucario was sitting on a boulder all by his lonesome eating Cherri berries from a vine that was growing on the side. The boulder was a good distance away from the humans, probably because of his still long lasting shock of waking up in a distant time era. I can't blame him though, if I were in his paws, I would feel the same way. He looked so handsome against the gray sky, which brought out the blue within his fur and the bold black stand out. I felt my heart race as I looked him up and down, my tail swishing back and forth while doing so. Our eyes met for a moment, to which I decided to break contact, feeling like I was staring him down. I felt my face grow hot from embarrassment as I barely noticed the blush on my muzzle.

As for me, I was up on a small ledge looking out for any dangers that may lie ahead of us. Seeing that there was no danger, I jumped down off the ledge and looked for Silver. Seeing that he wasn't here, I morphed the aura that was in my hands into a mold of a human hand and brought it to my lips, creating a high pitched whistle. In a minute, Silver came rushing from the fields over to me.

"So, are you up for free winding boy?" I asked with a grin. He looked at me and neighed in strong approval.

"Alright," I mounted him and grabbed the reins tightly, "let's go boy! Hyah!"

The two of us were off across the field, the wind moving around our forms, the feeling of flying in the air swirling in our minds.

Everything around us seemed to disappear when I felt a sudden slash of wind move right past my right ear tip. I turned behind me to see what I was hoping to stop last night, the ambush of attackers that destroyed the fort, a destructive group of Pokémon hunters, because of the furret belts and zigzagoon caps, riding on the backs of Rhyhorns, and wildly yodeling to try and get Silver off the track. I looked over toward the cliffs to see Lucario and the others following on the top edge of the mountainside.

Silver started to neigh nervously, to which I lowered my head and whispered, "Ok boy, we'll have to show these guys who's the fastest ride around here. Let's show them what you're made of! Let's go, hyah!"

I shouted the last part and Silver started picking up speed. For some time now, Silver and I have been practicing our riding skills. From the time that he was a ponyta to when he officially became my riding Pokémon, the two of us knew that Silver had a special gift, and that was fast natural speed.

The two of us have been practicing hard to increase his speed to maximum for years and we have accomplished that goal at an amazing 50 mph, not even tiring at that speed. Although rumor has it that he can ride faster than that, but regardless, right now, we needed whatever speed we could muster out of him. As we rode, one of the hunters caught up with us and made a move to punch me in the face. In an attempt of fake out, I moved to the side of Silver, kept ahold of his mane, my foot on part of his saddle, and disappeared in plain sight. Once I got my grip, I moved my feet to the ground jump back up and kick the guy in the nose, knocking him off. But in the process, I would have been thrown off if it weren't for Silver's mane throwing me around his head and back to the saddle, increasing speed with that. The others tried to make attempts to do the same as the first, but were met instead with several of my slate-headed arrows straight through the noggin.

At the last arrow, Silver whinnied back at me and made an effort to grab my attention. Once he did, I realized that we had to come up with some sort of plan, because we were heading straight for the edge of a plateau like cliff at breakneck speed.

"Ok Silver, time to fly boy" I stated, to which he turned and looked at me like I had lost it.
"Don't worry, as the fastest ride in the kingdom, you should be able to do this. Just use your bounce attack at the edge and we should be fine" I reassured him, "Come on boy! Let's do this!" I whipped his reins, clicked my heels and bent down, giving him a little less weight to worry about. I began to feel his speed increase to maximum as we neared closer to the edge.
"Steady Silver," I said as we were just inches from the edge, getting closer by the second until, "NOW!"
He then jumped onto the ledge, paused for a moment and he took off in the air like a rock to a slingshot. The two of us were literally flying across the valley as the air made our pelts shiver in pure delight. I looked over my shoulder to see the hunters in pure shock, one of them tossing his hat to the ground. I chuckled to myself as we landed on the land nearby land edging closer to the Tree of Beginning. Once the two of us stopped, I jumped off of Silvers back and we both started jumping and hollering in victory.
"See? I told you, you could do it!" I joyfully shouted as I hugged Silver's neck. Just as I released him from my grip, the jeep and Lucario arrive.
"Legacy, what was that?!" cried Max in excitement, "That was the most amazing ride I had ever seen!"
"It's obvious that you and Silver have a strong bond between the two of you because I can't think of any other human-Pokémon team that could pull off that" said Brock.
"I heard that training a Rapidash was hard enough, but to have it jump over a 60 meter wide valley opening? That's just incredible!" exclaimed Ash.
I felt my face grow hot and I could tell I was blushing, "It's really Silver that you should comment on. I just gave him the inspiration to make him jump" I said.
I looked over at Lucario, who didn't look impressed at all. He just kept a straight face and gave me a head nod.
'What's with him? According to Sir Aaron's journal, Lucario would normally ask questions to gain more knowledge' I thought to myself.

I decided to let it all pass and we continued our journey to the Tree of Beginning. We were all in the bottom of a small stony valley moving as fast as we could to get away from the ambushers and to the tree when Lucario suddenly used his Aura sense and started slowing down. Silver started coming to a halt, which I held on to in hopes of not repeating what happened earlier. A few minutes after we stopped, we all understood what cause Lucario to halt, straight from the ground came powerful blast of water, multiple geysers activating in explosive ways. I looked around to see if there was a way around the geysers, but sadly no avail. "Hey Legacy!" called Kit from the Van, "There's a hot spring here so I think we're going to take a break until the geysers stop"
I nodded, "that may be the best option because I can't see another way around them."
So we stopped to wait out the plunging water.

I let Silver off the reins to roam around the ground while the humans played in the Hot spring. As I sat under a nearby tree reading my old journal, I noticed that Lucario was on a boulder nearby looking at the humans.
'Oh, wait right there Lucario' I thought to myself, reaching for a sketchbook.

During my time as an Aura Guardian, I was taught the ways of art, music, swordsmanship, and dance. I found sketching to be an easier way to release stress than fighting, especially when outdoors. I grabbed my best pencils, formed an aura hand and started working on Lucario. I noticed that the wind was moving his antenna a little so it became a little difficult. I focused more on his face, especially his eyes, to give that watchful protective twinkle that seemed to glimmer from them. The shading was difficult in some areas and easier in others, but it came out the way I wanted. After a while, I finally had my sketch, and it looked just like the old pictures of Lucario with Sir Aaron by his side, except that this was a fresh picture.

As I dusted off the excess shavings, a shadow covered the sketchbook. I looked up to see Lucario looking down on me, causing me to jump up and hit my head hard on the branch above me.

"Ow! Arrrgh son of a Blaziken that hurt!" I growled while dropping my sketchbook, the Lucario picture laying face up. I rubbed my head a few times, knowing that a bump was going to form there, and bent down to grab my sketch book, only to feel that it wasn't there. I opened my eyes, looked up and saw Lucario holding my sketchbook and glance from it to me.

"Did you draw this?" he asked.

I immediately turned Cherri berry red and stood up, "Ummm yes, but I can get rid of it if it's bothering you" I said while barely touching the book.

Lucario then pulled his arm back and that caused both of us to fall backwards, with me on top of the male aura Pokémon. I pulled myself up and saw that his eyes were spot on with mine. Sunset amber meeting dark Garnet, black and blue meeting black and white, nose to nose, so close that I think Lucario's blush merged with my own, making me feel hotter. I pulled back and jumped up, breathing irregularly and covering my muzzle with my paws to try and hide the blush. Lucario looked up at me with shock as I turned my back to him.

"I'm so sorry Lucario! I-I-I-I lost my footing and slipped. And I...I…Oh what's the use!" I shouted as I prepared to hit myself in the face.

"Hey!" he said while grabbing my paw, putting a look of shock on my face. "There is no need to be hard on yourself like that. It was a simple mistake, we all make them. Don't let this simple stunt get to your head. Alright?"

He then handed me my sketchbook with a small smile on his face. "You are a great artist by the way, just next time, ask before you draw anyone else, alright?" I nodded in response as he left to do his own business.
