No one will harm that child. Not while I'm here.
The promise Lucario made to himself on the bus repeated over and over in his head as he ran through the forest.
Lucario tore through the dense woods, trying to locate Toon Link's aura.
"Toon Link, where are you?" Lucario asked himself.
Suddenly, from a short distance away, he heard a shriek.
"TOON LINK!" Lucario yelled, then proceeded to head to the area where he had heard the shout.
"I know I shouldn't have left you alone! I made a mistake, but you better not die on me!" Lucario yelled into the air.
Lucario burst into the area where he had heard the scream to find Toon Link lying on the ground.
"TOON LINK!" Lucario yelled running up to him.
The Pokemon reached him and looked him over to see if he was breathing.
"TOON LINK, YOU BETTER WAKE UP!" Lucario commanded, shaking him ferociously.
"Why bother? What does this child even mean to you?" a voice said.
Lucario turned around in a defensive position, ready to protect Toon Link at all costs. Lucario's eyes became twice their size when he saw who it was.
"Why would you do thi-" Lucario was cut off as he was grabbed by the neck and chocked.
"Why would I? Why would you want to protect this useless boy? There are a lot of unexplainable things that happen in this world. But as for your question," MewTwo stopped and slammed Lucario into a tree, "I have all the reason I need."
Lucario tried to break free, but was unable to do so.
"Would you like me to kill you quickly and get it over with? Or, would you like me to torture you slowly to death?" MewTwo asked.
Lucario could not respond.
"That's just what I was thinking! I'll make your death slow and painful. It's what you get for saving that angel!" MewTwo yelled.
When Lucario gave him a questioned looked, the Pokemon continued.
"If it weren't for your dumb ability to tell when danger occurred, he would have died! Along with that stupid elf that tried to come to his rescue!" MewTwo said and then tightened his grip on Lucario's neck.
Lucario gasped for air, but only chocked.
"STOP!" Toon Link's voice came from behind them.
Lucario and MewTwo turned to see Toon Link slowly rising from the ground.
"What? I thought I had killed you!" MewTwo said.
"I don't give up that easily," Toon Link said.
This minor distraction gave an opening for Lucario to break free from the choke-hold.
Lucario jumped away and gasped for air before he got up and gained his fighting stance.
"A fight is what you want, huh?" MewTwo asked them.
"It's two on one! There's no way you'll win!" Lucario growled.
"I believe that it's only one on one," MewTwo said, extending a finger towards Toon Link.
Lucario looked to his side to see Toon Link starting to bleed again and he was barely breathing.
"Toon Link, you need to sit down. Please, I can handle this," Lucario said.
"I… have to… help… you," Toon Link breathed.
"Toon Link-"
"ENOUGH OF THIS! TIME TO FIGHT!" MewTwo said. He rushed at Lucario, ready for an instant kill. Not reacting quickly enough, Lucario was sure to be hit.
"LUCARIO!" Toon Link yelled.
He ran in front of Lucario and took the hit. The harsh blow knocked him out of the way.
Toon Link rolled to the side and stopped moving. A dark pool of blood began to form around his figure.
"TOON LINK!" Lucario yelled.
Oh No. =)
