Pat: Hello! New day, new chapter! Sorry if these seem rushed.
Disclaimer: Insert legitimate disclaimer here.
Lucario groaned, sitting up. A dull throbbing was evident in his forehead.
Oh, right, migraine.
Where were the pills?
Lucario got up groggily, walking towards the kitchen, where the little pills would hopefully be. Red was still asleep, so he had to be quite, lest wake the boy up.
Quite as a jackal could be, Lucario padded down to the kitchen, where he found…
That the container was empty.
That Falcon was a jerk when he wanted to be.
Groaning, Lucario got back into bed, trying hard to ignore the pain in his head.
Growling lightly, Lucario soon dozed off, memories and dreams bombarding his sub-conscious…
"Lucario! Look!"
What is it Master?
"It's a Time Flower."
Time flower?
"Yes. It reacts to aura, so you can record events or other things, as long as you use aura It'll respond automatically to our aura though."
Wow…
Lucario flinched, sitting up. He glanced towards the alarm clock. 10 o' clock. Better than when he woke.
Which was, like, three in the morning.
Rubbing tiredly at his eyes, Lucario yawned, sharp fangs glinting.
'I can't get the motivation to wake up. Wonder why?' Lucario thought, still feeling tired.
'My throat kinda hurts…' he mused, coughing. He bit back a yelp, considering that would make his throat hurt even more.
Oh crap. He wasn't catching a cold, was he?
Lucario sighed, standing up, only to fall back down to his mattress, thanks to his light-headed-ness.
Ow… Lucario mumbled, trying to stand back up, but still unable to.
'Sheesh, I've never been ill! Why should it affect me so?' Lucario wondered, lying back down.
'Wow… It's really hot in this room, isn't it?' he mused again, sitting up.
"Lucario?"
Aforementioned jackal looked toward Red, who gasped.
"Wow, Lucario, you don't look so well!" he exclaimed, Lucario holding in a growl.
That's because I'm not! Apparently I've caught a cold, and- Ack! Lucario coughed, a paw covering his muzzle, dry coughs aggravating his throat even more.
Ow… Do you have medicine of sorts, Red? Lucario asked, closing his eyes.
'Damn migraines…'
"Um, no. You look ill. You ARE ill, sorry. Let me just check something…" There was the sound of fabrics rustling, and then Red was suddenly in front of Lucario, said jackal flinching.
"Sorry. Wow, you have a high fever!" Red exclaimed, Lucario nodding, red eyes shutting after a moment.
I suppose I'll sleep for a bit more, then get on to the day's duties. He decided, Red shaking his head.
"You shouldn't get out of bed, Lu. You could make your cold worse, and then you'd regret it, because they get worse if you don't treat 'em" Red said, laying the jackal back down, covering him with the quilt. Lucario snorted, flinching a bit, but still looking cross.
I'm not an infant, I'll manage. Now, let me go. Lucario said, Red holding the jackal down.
"No. You need your rest. Sleep, and we'll see what we can do about it." Red said, red eyes narrowed. Lucario's eye twitched, his ears doing the same.
I said I'm fine, now let me go! He said, and started trying to push Red away. Red, surprised, fell back, Lucario standing, soon collapsing to the floor.
"Lucario!"
Red picked up the fallen aura pokemon, laying him back down. His eyes were closed, as if he'd fainted. Red sighed.
"See, I told you to lie down, and what'd ya do! You didn't listen, and now your gonna have a migraine later!" Red exclaimed, Lucario cracking an eye open.
Your jabbering doesn't help in anyway, Red. I simply got up too fast, and got a head rush. I'll be fine in a second- he trailed when Red tied him down with an Escape Rope from his bag, effectively holding him down.
"You won't listen. Now, I'll be back with some soup and medicine, and don't even THINK about slicing that rope apart, okay?" Red said firmly, as if training a young Poochyena. Lucario growled, but stayed in place, the trainer leaving.
Oh, have I gone soft! Lucario yelled, trying to break free of the ropes around him, but soon quitting when he found that it burnt his fur slightly, thanks to friction.
The things I do…
"Hey, Lu, I brought you some soup…" Red trailed off at the sight of the jackal.
Lucario was sleeping peacefully, an ear twitching a bit. Somehow, he'd managed to curl up so that he was almost as tiny as Pikachu.
Walking up to the jackal, Red set the soup down, untying the rope binding Lucario, and putting the blanket over him, Lucario stirring a bit, but not waking. Red smiled, lightly rubbing the jackal behind the ear.
'When he's asleep, only then is he calm.' Red thought, leaving Lucario alone, exiting the room, and quietly closing the door behind him.
Lucario stirred again, growling.
Master…
Pat: I think the Lucario in Brawl is always the one from the movie, because, according to Wikipedia, no other Lucario in the series can talk. 'Til next time!
