Pat: Gasp! An update so soon?! Well, whatever, here's where the story really starts!
Disclaimer: Look at the chapters before for a disclaimer, why don'cha?
After Lucario ran out, Red soon followed, looking everywhere for the distraught jackal. Geez, could that guy run! A lot of the Smashers opted to help, but Red declined, saying that he needed to earn Lucario's trust by himself.
Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard didn't count as a separate unit, right?
Eventually, Red found Lucario at the lake, gazing into its crystalline surface.
Red sat beside the aura pokemon, who sighed.
I've accepted the fact that I am, technically, yours, trainer. Lucario said, Red's eyes widening.
"Really?" he asked, earning a sharp glare from Lucario.
You don't have to sound so chipper, ya know! He replied, Red sweat-dropping.
"Sorry. But it won't be so bad, right? We can do all sorts of things together! Play some games, watch a few movies, train with Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard…" Red listed, Lucario hiding a small smile.
Well, you're certainly the type who loves having fun, aren't you? he asked, Red nodding.
"I've never found it much fun to do something boring. If it's serious, like, life threatening, even world threatening, I'll be willing to help. I wouldn't ever let anyone get hurt on purpose! I'd protect them with all my heart!" Red exclaimed, Lucario blinked, eyelids drooping, eyes cloudy in thought.
Would you now… Lucario mumbled, standing up. Red blinked, confused.
"Did I do something wrong?" he asked, Lucario shaking his head.
No. I'm simply exhausted from running around everywhere. Lucario replied, stretching a bit. Red nodded, also rising.
"Then, I suppose we should head back, huh?" he asked, Lucario nodding.
He'll be interesting to be around, in the least. Lucario thought, following the pokemon trainer back to the mansion.
Although, in all truth, Lucario really just wanted a headache pill.
"What?! I- Wha?!" Red was at a loss for words. As soon as he'd brought Lucario back to the Mansion, it had started raining, so much that the Hands swore that it would flood the fields.
So, they banned all battles for the day.
Needless to say, many of the Smashers didn't quite agree with that.
But, after a threat of some 'playtime' with Crazy Hand, those Brawlers shut up.
The power of persuasion.
Lucario sighed, looking outside the window. Lightning flashed occasionally, the raindrops absolutely pelting the glass panes.
Oh, how glad he hadn't stayed out a moment longer!
"Well, what do you wanna do, Lucario?" Red asked, the jackal turning towards the trainer.
You are asking this from a person who's never played ANY game? Lucario asked, Red nearly falling from shock.
"Whaaaaaaaaaatttt?! You've never played ANY game known to man?!" Red exclaimed (A/N: Sorry, that word is addicting!), Lucario nodding.
I lived in a time of war, of course I didn't play! He replied, taking a few pillows from the bed, and making a comfy makeshift bed beside Red's. Red 'hmm'ed, going into the hall for a moment. Lucario glanced at the door for a second, before shrugging, pressing the pillows so that they were less hard.
Minutes later, Red, Ness, Lucas, Toon Link, Kirby, Jigglypuff and Pikachu entered the room, carrying a multicolor mat, and a spinner with the same colors.
"We're gonna play Twister!" Ness and Lucas announced, Lucario paling.
Oh, crap.
"Okay… Right hand on red. Red, not green!" Ness exclaimed, Kirby huffing.
"Poyo, poyo poyo!" he huffed angrily, waving his stubby arms around.
A pudgy body, plus chubby limbs were not good for the game of Twister.
"Well, if you can't play, why did you join us in the first place?!" Ness asked, Lucas sighing, spinning the spinner. Red sighed, sweat-dropping.
"Let's not dwell on that now, spin the spinner before our backs break." He said, Toon Link, Lucario and Pikachu nodding.
Jigglypuff and Kirby huffed, glaring at the PSI boys, who simply ignored him.
"Red, left foot blue." Lucas announced, Red grimacing.
"Ow-ww! That's gonna smart tomorrow!"
Stop your mumbling, trainer dear, and stay active! Lucario growled, Pikachu nodding. They both found the game easy. Then again, they had found Limbo, AKA, How Low Can You Go easier.
Had Red yelped at that game!
Ever heard of the word 'Crrk!'? Didn't think so.
"Lucario, left paw yellow."
Lucario reached over, limbs trembling to keep him up. Miraculously, only he and Red were left in the game, And Red was in a more comfy position. Lucario, however, had somehow gotten it so that he formed a bridge above Red. A false movement from any one of them could send them crashing, effectively making them lose.
"Red, left hand green."
Ah, crap.
With his hand directly across Lucario's paw, he finally lost his balance, and fell on top of the trainer, who landed on his back.
"Ow…." Red mumbled, rubbing his head. Lucario quickly got off the trainer, rubbing his poor tail.
That's the last time I'll ever play Twister again. He announced, settling into his bed of pillows. Red sat up, glancing at the jackal.
"Alright, I agree with you on that one." Red said, Ness, Lucas, Toon Link, Pikachu and the two puffballs nodding.
"Yeah. It was fun, but we're all tired now." Ness announced, Toon Link twitching.
"Says the guy who didn't play." He mumbled, Ness holding his hands up 'innocently'. Lucas sighed, ushering everyone out.
Lucario yawned, snuggling into the pillows comfily, breath softening. Red glanced at the jackal, tilting his head slightly.
"That kinda looks uncomfy, Lu." He said, Lucario cracking an eye open, glaring at the trainer.
Well, unless I can drag my mattress over here… he trailed off, shutting his eye. Only his head and ears were visable beneath the pile of pillows. Red sighed, standing.
"I'll help you get your mattress over here." Red said, Lucario standing, stretching.
Heheheh, sucker.
"And, there ya go. Got your blanket and pillow?" Red asked, the jackal beside him nodding, carefully making his bed.
With the trainer's help, they'd managed to drag the mattress into Red's room for Lucario to sleep in, since Lucario was moving in, and he sure as hell wouldn't sleep in the same bed as Red!
Sighing, Lucario got under his covers, Red doing the same, but in his own bed.
"Night, Lucario." Red whispered, Lucario nodding slightly, already starting to drift off.
Good night, Red. Lucario replied, tail twitching.
The end of a very weird day.
Pat: That's not the end, far from it. This'll be a long story, hopefully, so just saying! See ya'll soon!
