They woke up and went on the road again.
"! Guys watch out for that Fearow!" Johnathon yelled.
"WHAT?!"
A wild fearow suddenly used aerial ace at them but then someone came in front of them and somehow made a somewhat transparent blue shield.
"Shoo! Get away from here!" he said and then the fearow went away and the boy turned to them.
"Hey... Is your clothes based of a lucario?" Denise asked, recalling how Lucario look like and compares it to the clothes the boy was wearing.
"Yeah. I'm a riolu and lucario lover but this is how I made that shield if you were wondering..." He said as a bone appeared in his hands but it was just aura.
"How are you able to do that...?" Sarah asked as she seemed to be the curious one now.
"I don't know to be exact. Just with the help of my riolu, I kinda found out I can do that. My name is Armor Lighting but you can call me AL for short." AL explained.
"Well nice to meet you AL!" Denise said cheerfully.
"Oh and have this!" Denise put on the device on AL's hand.
"... What is this?" "A device that can help you turn into a pokemon but since we're here, we will be with you as pokemons too." Denise explained.
She then showed him and then unlike them who had something that is different from normal, AL was just an ordinary looking riolu when they transformed.
"I always wanted to be a riolu!" He said as he run around.
"Hey! I'll race yeah!" Denise said and started to run around with him and then she tackles him and they both fall on the ground.
Denise giggled but she didn't notice that AL blushed.
She's actually cute... AL thought when he looked at her.
Denise then stood up and help him stand up as well. "We can sleep for the night like this but... Come out, Rioly Charmander and Buterfree!"
Denise let out her three pokemons and then Rioly stares at AL.
"Umm... Hi?" "... What's your name?" "AL meaning Armor Lighting."
Rioly shook her head and turn away from him until she heard the name of the pokemon he was calling out.
"Come out, Rilu!" AL said as a bit smaller riolu appeared.
"Rilu!" Rioly exclaimed as she hugged the riolu.
"Big sister! It's nice to see you again! Wait... Is he who I think he is?" Rilu said looking at AL.
"Yeah, he's your trainer as a pokemon." Denise then explained what happened and then Rilu played around with Rioly.
"What are you guys doing when you're humans again?" AL asked.
"Well, we were just trying to go to the next city to beat the gym leader!"
"Can I come along?"
"Sure!" Denise said happily.
