Pat: Apparently, my estimate was correct! People do like my story! I've already got a slightly larger amount of reviews I've ever got! …. Wow, three reviews are the most I've ever got. That's kinda sad. But, enough, to the story!

Disclaimer: Does an Aura Sphere say enough?

Lucario stirred, eyes cracking open.

Ugh… My head feels… Fuzzy? No other way to describe it. Lucario thought, sitting up. He groaned, holding his head. Sitting up causes head rushes.

That's real bad. Lucario mused, looking around him. Outside, the sky was pink, red, and orange, the clouds purple. Lucario glanced at the clock, starting, and then flinching, thanks to his migraine.

Yikes, it's 6:00? How long have I slept? Lucario wondered, slowly standing.

I have to go to work. Or do something, I can't stay sitting in bed all day. Though this migraine isn't helping… Lucario mumbled, leaning on the doorway for support. Red walked by moments later, starting when he saw Lucario.

"Oh, Lucario! Hi! Are ya feeling any better?" he asked, Lucario growling.

Does the word 'migraine' mean anything to you? Lucario hissed, a bit moody. Red nodded, digging into his backpack.

"I saw there were no more headache pills, so I went out and got some especially for you, since you seem headache prone. Did you finish them?" Red asked, handing the container to Lucario, who took two out, and swallowed them dry, humming as his headache ebbed away.

I wish. Captain Jackass took the last yesterday. Lucario replied, stretching. Sick as he might be, he was the type to go on until he either fainted or died.

He had succeeded in both.

Damn Mew.

"Falcon? Wow, wonder what he needed it for." Red said, Lucario shaking his head.

It didn't help that he took it right as I was reaching for it. Lucario replied, looking bored now.

"That's kinda mean. But then again, his rule is 'First come, first served.' Though, it's still unfair." Red said, Lucario nodding.

Yeah.

They stayed silent for a few minutes. The clock ticked by. Finally…

Can we go now, I'm really bored, and I need to do something here. I'm not lazy like Wario, and I usually have lots of energy, so I need to expel it somehow. Lucario explained, Red tilting his head.

"You seem happier than usual. Why is that?" he asked, Lucario shaking his head.

I don't know, I feel kinda happy right now. Kinda like last night. That was fun. Lucario said, Red nodding. A wicked idea crossed Red's mind.

"Lucario, I think I know what sickness you have." He said, hiding a smirk. Lucario knew nothing about illness, having never had a simple cold, so he was a complete idiot for pranks. Lucario glanced Red's way, ears tilted at an angle.

Really? What is it? He asked, Red smirking a bit.

"You have de-evolution syndrome. You'll lower in level, then finally de-evolve. Good luck being a Riolu, you're gonna love it." He said, Lucario's eyes widening tremendously.

'Wait for it…

Three…

Two…

One…'

Lucario shrieked, running out of the room, Red laughing whole-heartedly.

"Is your middle name 'Gullible', Lucario?" Red asked himself, nearly keeling over from laughter.

'Cruel, sure, but I couldn't resist! Good lord, he's gonna be running around now, isn't he?' Red thought, standing up, but still unable to keep a few giggles to himself.

"Better go find him, and tell him the truth. Then tell him to look up 'gullible' in the dictionary." Red said, snickering.

Oh, boy, there goes our trust in Red now, eh?

After a while, Red, with the help of his three poke-pals, find Lucario, looking right rather P.Oed in the Spear Pillar area.

Red swallowed loudly, suddenly feeling nervous.

An angry Lucario was not a good one.

"Um… Lucario?" Red called out, softer than he would've liked. Lucario whipped around, red eyes dark with anger.

Thanks for freaking the crap out of me! Dialga-sama and Palkia-sama laughed so hard at that! Even Cresselia-san, she did too! Thanks a lot, RED, you embarrassed me beyond belief! Lucario snarled, spitting the trainer's name like it was poison. He then stormed out of the arena, leaving a very guilty Red behind.

'Well, I'm SMART, now, aren't I? I've ruined his trust in me. Dammit.' Red thought, slowly walking out of the arena.

"Lucario?"

Lucario whipped his around, eyes narrowing when he spotted Red.

What do you want? He spit out, ears tilted forward, tail ridged.

Yep, he was pissed, alright.

Red gulped, holding a hand behind his back. He sat on the bed beside Lucario, looking guilty.

"Um, I'm really sorry about embarrassing you like that. You.. You're really angry now, aren't you?" he asked, Lucario's eyes narrowing even more, flashing. Red gulped, rubbing the back of his head.

"So, um, to kinda lessen the embarrassment, I brought you something." Red said, revealing what was in his hidden hand.

Chocolate.

Lucario's favourite treat.

Lucario huffed, arms crossed.

This won't make them forget what happened today, nor I. Being laughed at by LORDS, Red. You know how much of an embarrassment that is? Lucario growled, Red shaking his head.

"I didn't mean for you to be embarrassed by Dialga or Palkia, or Cresselia. Heck, I didn't even know you'd be there! I'll never pull a prank like that again, promise." Red said, looking like he would cry.

It was obvious he sucked at apologizing.

But Lucario took pity, eyes softening when he saw Red's face. He took the candy bar, and put it to the side, then did something NO ONE would ever think he would.

He hugged Red.

HUGGED. Lucario never hugged anyone before, so it was kinda awkward. But it still got the point across.

I forgive you. If you're feeling that guilty about it, I can't hold a grudge. Besides, I kind of over-reacted, so it wasn't totally your fault. Lucario said, Red just sitting there, stunned.

"Um… Thanks, Lucario." He said, still slightly confused. Lucario nodded, moving away from the trainer, and burying himself in his blankets.

Just never do it again. C'mon, we gotta be well-rested for tomorrow. Lucario said, eyes slowly closing. Red nodded, still dumb-founded, and got into his bed, questions filling his dreams.

Lucario laid there, eyes wide, ears flat against his head.

What is this warm, fuzzy feeling? Why did I do that? Why… Lucario drifted off, breathing light.

Tomorrow, what would it bring?

Pat: Oh noez! Lucario is actually warming up to being a trainer's pokemon? It can't be! Well, more next chapter!
