Hunter awoke to find Lucario shaking him. Wake up, Hunter. It's time to start.
Hunter groaned something about five more minutes, but got up and put his shoes on. He and Lucario walked outside. Buizel, awakened when Lucario woke Hunter, watched them from the cave.
They stood in the glade, watching each other. Lucario produced a blindfold. Tie this around your eyes.
Hunter did so. After he was done, Lucario took a fighting stance.
I'm going to strike at you. Do your best to dodge me.
"We're going to have to do this for a long time then…"
Lucario began making short punches at Hunter. Most of the time he moved the wrong way and gave a small "ow" as the punches connected. He also managed to dodge a small number, then, soon after, gained confidence and dodged more. Lucario could feel his Aura working, attempting to see his fists coming. After a few minutes, they stopped. Lucario watched Hunter as he worked off his blindfold. We'll keep doing this until you're able to dodge all of the attacks. Then we can stop.
Hunter nodded, then looked around. "Okay, what's next?"
Lucario once again produced the blindfold. Now we'll work on you finding me using only Aura. When you're trained enough you will be able to see beyond your range of sight. But for now, concentrate on finding me.
Hunter groaned and put the blindfold back on. They spent the remainder of the day working on those two exercises, and though Hunter proved more adept at providing Lucario's location than dodging his punches, he improved in the latter as well. As they both ate dinner around a fire that Hunter had made, Lucario looked at him over the flames. You're improving fast.
Hunter merely nodded, the circles under his eyes testifying to how tired he was.
Lucario put a berry in his mouth as he looked at Hunter again. As he chewed, he cast out another thought. I know what you're thinking. When am I going to teach you how to fight? How to use your powers for offense.
Hunter merely nodded once again. Finished with his meal, he got up and went to the cave. Lucario cast one last thought before the human got in his sleeping bag and went to sleep. I'll show you to do that. When you're ready.
Lucario went out to the cliff that the cave was situated on. He sighed. This boy will test me. And he will either obey me or break me without meaning to. But fate will do as it decides.
Inside the cave, Hunter slept. He had dreams. Two great beings, a flash of light, a long shout of pain that he recognized as Lucario's voice, and then, something that made him jolt awake and cry out.
Lucario's body, burned and scarred, lying on his side on the ground. His dreadlocks and tail were limp, lolling onto the ground. One ear flopped over his face.
Lucario ran into the cave, his eyes wide with shock. What is it? What happened?
Hunter shook his head. "I had a dream. It was horrible. You were in pain. Terrible pain. Then…I…I saw your body. You were dead. I don't know what caused it, but I also saw two Pokémon. Or at least…I think they were Pokémon. They were massive, one pink and one blue. I couldn't make any sense of it."
It's probably nothing, Lucario thought, laying a paw on Hunter's shoulder. Go back to sleep. Nobody's going to find us here.
Hunter shrugged, and went back to sleep. After watching Lucario for a moment, Buizel followed suit. Lucario sat down on his bed, his chin on his knees. Telling the future? If it is the future. If he turns out to be right, then something is coming. Something bad.
Sorry for the shortness of this one. There's a major plot development right there. By the way, there's not gonna be very much sketching from now on.
