Pat: Alright! The final chapter! First, we reveal who placed the Pokeball on the field in the first place, and then, a surprise ending! Did I mention this is placed before the Subspace Emissary War?

Yes, there's a different way to get Lucario in Brawl, not just the SE. Go look it up in the Smash Dojo. (Website)

Apparently, last time I posted this, it was chapter one. Thank you, Azure Link, for poiting that out.

Disclaimer: I don't wanna lose my best story yet! We don't own Pokemon or Smash Brothers. I do own a nice Pikachu plush, a Lucario plush, a Pichu plush, a Mew plush, an Absol plush, a Mudkip plush, a Torchic plush and a Treecko plush, though. O-O Yeah.

Lucario sighed, slowly sitting up. Today seemed like a normal day…

But Lucario sensed something bad would happen today.

Nothing seemed out of place…

Shrugging, Lucario stretched, yawning a bit, fangs glinting.

Maybe it's my imagination… Lucario thought, looking outside the window. A bright, sunny day greeted him.

How could anything go wrong on a day like this?

"Hey, Lu! You're finally up!" Red exclaimed, Lucario tilting his head in confusion.

Finally… up? Have I been asleep so long? He asked, Red pointing towards the alarm clock.

1:00 pm. Lucario gawked, blinking a few times.

Well, now something's really wrong! Lucario said, Red simply shrugging.

"You looked so tired last night; you fell asleep on my shoulder. So I dragged you to your bed, and when I woke up, you looked so peaceful; I couldn't bring myself to wake you up. Besides, today, we're going to the Lake, remember? You've been looking forward to it for days!" Red said, Lucario nodding.

Oh, yeah… Oh..! Lucario dived towards his bed, digging in his pillowcase for something. Red tilted his head, eyes full of confusion.

"Lu?"

Lucario grunted, yelling a triumphant 'Yes!' out, pulling out the item of his search: Water wings. Why he had them in his pillowcase was beyond Red…

"Wha… What? Why do you have those?" Red asked, Lucario grabbing a bag out of nowhere, placing the balloon-like items inside.

Sonic promised me chocolate if I gave him these! He hates swimming, but wants to impress someone, but he can't swim. So, this'll keep him up. Lucario explained, sounding somewhat childish. Red smiled, rubbing the back of his head, sweat-dropping.

'All that fuss for a pair of water wags… wings… Whatever!' Red thought, sighing.

"Hey! Thanks, Lucario! Here ya go!" Sonic said, handing Lucario a bar of white chocolate- His ultimate favourite treat. Lucario squealed happily, taking a huge bit out of the treat. He whined, ears flat against his head. Red placed a hand on his shoulder, glancing at him in worry.

It.. it.. It's so sweet! Mmph! Lucario whined, Red sweat-dropping again, sighing.

"Hey, glad you like it! Gotta go! See ya!" Sonic said, gone in a flash. Red blinked.

'Wow, he's really RALLY fast! Hard to beat, I bet.' He thought, smiling when Lucario squealed again from the pure JOY he was feeling at the moment.

"Lucario?"

Said jackal turned around, Pikachu standing beside him. He looked… guilty?

Hai, Pikachu? Lucario answered, the tiny mouse pokemon shuffling a bit.

"Don't get mad, okay?" he said, holding his paws out. Lucario tilted his head, but said nothing. Pikachu continued.

"I was the one who the Pokeball on the Final Destination stage." He said, Lucario eyes narrowing. Pikachu hopped a bit, holding out shaky paws.

"I only did it for your own good! Look at you! You seem way happier now that Red is looking out for you! Before, you wouldn't even talk to me! Now look!" he exclaimed, Lucario pausing.

Huh… You're right. It was for the best… he said, Pikachu having the feeling that that wasn't the end of that.

And he was right. Swiftly, Lucario grabbed Pikachu, holding him a few feet above the ground. His eyes were slightly dark, and had a look that made Pikachu swallow nervously.

But, I lost my free spirit. Red is nice, hai, but I was a free spirit before this. I'm not mad at you; just NEVER do something like this again. Alright? Lucario growled, Pikachu nodding. Lucario let go, Pikachu falling to the ground with a 'THUD!'

"Hey, as long as you're fine with it, wanna brawl a bit later?" Pikachu asked, trembling a bit. Lucario nodded.

Sure. I'm sure you've gained quite a bit of power. Let's see how you'll fare against me. Lucario said, Pikachu grinning happily, running off. Lucario chuckled.

Cute like guy… he thought, eyes widening a few seconds later.

Oh, god, HOW SOFT I'VE GOTTEN! He yelled, shaking his head.

A while later…

Red! Hey! I- Lucario stopped dead in his tracks. Red was simply playing with Squirtle, which in itself was innocent enough. But, behind him, on a large rock, Bowser stood, holding some sort of mechanical gun the size of Lucario himself towards the guests. And, it was pointed at Red!

Instinct kicked in suddenly. Lucario dived at Red, pushing him harshly out of the way, Squirtle going with him.

A black arrow lined with gold sealing magic hit Lucario moments later, the jackal falling back down as trophy.

Red gawked, backing away when Bowser scooped up the trophy, pointing the gun at him.

Another arrow, blue and gold, shot this time, shattering the device. Bowser cackled evilly, though, once finding out he had been discovered.

Wario, Ganondorf and Master Hand soon appeared, teleporting away somewhere.

The Subspace War had officially begun.

Red gasped, running up to where Lucario had been, his Pokeball in hand.

"Lucario…"

All of a sudden, the Pokeball in his hand shattered, disappearing soon after. Red gasped. It could only mean one of three things…

Either his memory had been destroyed, therefore his identity too, he was in a comatose state or…

He was dead.

Pikachu gawked.

"Lu… Lucario…"

Lucario groaned, a paw to his forehead. Barren snow surrounded him, nothing else visible for miles, except for a tall pillar of ice. Lucario glanced around, nobody else around him.

Urgh… Where am I? he thought, standing up on the pillar, looking around.

The small blizzard that was blowing preventing him from seeing much far, though.

Sighing, Lucario stood balanced on the pillar, closing his eyes and crossing his arms.

Huh… Nobody's around for miles on end… Best to wait here…

Where and what was I doing before arriving here, anyway?

He didn't notice that his aura had turned pure black.

Pat: I am not doing a story or chapters on the Subspace War, 'cus one, spoilers for those who didn't finish, and two, no. I'm not good at fighting scenes, lest a whole fighting story.

And if ya'll are wondering, you know, if you've played a bit of the Subspace, that the character beaten turns into a trophy, right? A touch from the hero who beat him/her revives them.

But what if a villain revived them? Wouldn't they be corrupted, and lose their memories or something like that?

I'll change the ending if someone requests it. A bonus chapter, if you will.

R&R, please! See ya!
