Hi-Hi! Nobody made a comment about how to sort Luchia's team, so I've come up with my own idea.
The group breathed a sign of relief when they arrived in Saffron City. Misty and Luchia were walking behind the others, chatting happily. Misty's Plusle and Minun were on her shoulders, chatting in their own language. Whilst Luchia's babies were around her, with Litwick and Gible in her arms. Riolu was on her shoulder and Sylveon and Charmeleon were walking by her side.
''Plus!'' ''Minun!'' cried the two Cheering Pokemon. They hopped off their trainer's shoulders, much to her surprise. The twin Pokemon ran into the town, and began cheer leading about how they had arrived in Saffron City. However, seconds later, a loud sound rang through the air and into the trainer's or Pokemon's ears and scaring them on some level. Luchia put her Pokemon down and listens again, using her hand to cup her ears so she could hear more.
''Mikachu!'' The cry sounded like a Pokemon, very similar to a Pikachu's cry when it was distress. ''Mika! Mika!'' A Pokemon, colored almost entirely in pink, appeared from the distance and came flying towards them, crashing into Luchia's chest and dropping into her hands. It gasped, it's large Pikachu-like ears perking up as it looked at Luchia. ''Mika-mika!'' It cried, trying to burrow it's way into her chest to hide from something, it's ears flatted on it's head.
In the meanwhile, Luchia was frozen. This Pokemon was the same that she saw in her vision from when they were on the S S Anne. She couldn't believe it. She gently managed to move her free hand and pet the Pokemon's head, in a weak attempt to calm it down. She breathed in and out, before mustering out. ''Are you alright, little one?'' She looked at Riolu and telepathically asked. ''Try to bring more of my aura out, it's a Pseudo-Legendary so I may have trouble using my telepathy with it on my own.''
Riolu vaguely nodded, so everybody else didn't see. He focused his aura onto his trainer, closing his eyes in the process so he had more control. Luchia smiled, as the aura helped her activate a telepathic link to the Pokemon. The Mikachu looked at her, realizing the link. ''No, I'm not okay...'' It seemed to have a feminine voice as she whimpered a bit. ''I just escaped a bunch of crazy scientists...who won't stop hurting me...'' She snuggled into Luchia, seeming to trust her all of a sudden. ''Please, protect me!''
Luchia was unsure what to do, especially when a trio of men walked closer to them, all wearing lab suits. They seemed to be annoyed as they looked at the little Pokemon in Luchia's arms. ''Little lady, would you kindly hand that Pokemon over. It's apart of our special research and is very dangerous to the general public if it was released.'' said the seemingly leader of the group.
Misty looked at Luchia from behind, seeing the girl's distressed face. She decided to step forward, and ask her most wanted question to the men. ''Now, misters. May I ask kindly what this Pokemon is and why it's part of your research?''
The man sighed, looking at the Pokemon, who keep shaking her head with tears. ''Fine. I'll explain what is going on.'' He sighed out. ''That Pokemon is Mikachu, a partial clone of Mew. We were able to find a small dose of Mew DNA and were able to mutate it with Pikachu DNA to complete the substance to make a full Pokemon, being that Mikachu. It's Electric/Psychic, and we were able to teach it 3 moves; Transform, Thunder Shock and Confusion.''
Luchia looked down at the Mikachu, almost shocked. She may have seen the Pokemon in her visions before, but it still was near shocking. ''Um, mister. She's seems a little terrified. Are you sure you been treating her correctly?'' She was quite upset in appearance, due to her sympathy towards Mikachu. ''Please, I just wanna know if she's being treated correctly.''
The man seemed a little shocked, by Luchia's question. ''Little lady, may I ask why you call Mikachu a 'she'?'' He then paused for a bit, waiting to see if she'd answer, but she didn't as she simply froze with shock and then shook her head rapidly. ''O...kay?'' He muttered, deciding to answer Luchia's question. ''But, as for Mikachu's well being. We have been feeding and looking after it. But as it has been being tested on, there is a couple of inconsistencies in how it's looked after. Being that, there was been injections to see what it would be able to learn. It acts like a Mew, but learns some electric moves over time.''
Luchia shook her head, looking down at Mikachu with sad eyes. ''I'm sorry, mister. But I don't feel like I can give you her back. I don't wanna have to explain why, but I don't feel correct about you taking her back, as she's clearly terrified of you and your friends.'' She looked away from the scientist, knowing that this wasn't gonna turn out well. Mikachu simply stay closer to her.
The scientist frowned, not expecting that reaction. ''I'm sorry, little lady. But I cannot allow that. That Pokemon is part of my necessary experiments and cannot be unleashed to the public.''
Luchia shook her head again. ''I can look after her. I'll make sure she won't cause any trouble!'' She was determined to keep Mikachu away from harm, like she seemed to be implying. The Pokemon even looked up at her with shock filled eyes, unbelieving that this trainer was gonna try her hardest to keep her safe. ''Please, mister. Let me look after her. She'll be fine.''
The scientist sighed, knowing that he couldn't argue with her or he could get in severe trouble for his experiments. He groaned, before letting his answer out as well as his terms. ''Fine, the Pokemon can stay with you. But the moment she does anything that harms another person or Pokemon, she needs to be return instantly so we can tame her powers through our experiments.''
''Thank you so very much!'' said Luchia, with happy tears in her eyes. ''Of course, I'll listen to your terms, but she'll be no problem at all.'' The Mikachu flew out of her arms and began happily wiggling around in the air. Luchia smiled, as she held her arms back out for Mikachu to fly into. Which she did happily, and Luchia waved goodbye to the scientists, who, in frustration, left the group alone.
Misty and Ash walked over to Luchia and Mikachu, before asking in unison. ''What just happened?''
Luchia shrugged at their question. ''Not fully sure, but Mikachu told me that she didn't like the scientists as they would hurt her. All I do know is that she doesn't have a pokedex entry and probably cannot be caught in a poke ball due to not being classified as a Pokemon, so the ball wouldn't respond like it doesn't when you throw it at a trainer's Pokemon.'' She then smiled. ''Not that it fazes me, all my other Pokemon, besides Gyarados, stay out of their balls anyway. Right, gang?'' Her Pokemon all nodded in agreement.
Cynthia walked over and nodded. ''Yeah, that sounds about right. But what will other trainer's say. They might try and steal her for profit. She is a one of a kind Pokemon after all.''
''I've already considered that. And I do have a backpack that she can stay in when we encounter Pokemon. Are you alright with that, Mikachu?'' She looked down at her newest Pokemon.
''Mika!'' Nodded the Pokemon, as she decided to use telepathy. ''Okay, mommy. Thank you for saving me from those meanies.''
The 'mommy' comment came to no surprise to Luchia. She was already being called mommy by 5 other Pokemon, it was common for her to be called mommy now. And she didn't mind anyway as it made her feel closer to her Pokemon. ''Your welcome, little one.'' She smiled, gently petting the Pokemon on the head, causing her to seemingly purr in response. Luchia smiled, even as her vision seemed to a flash a little in front of her. 'Great...so this is the effects of having too much Aura for my body to cope with. Better get Riolu to take some of it back...' But she wasn't able to even look at her Pokemon, as she almost collapsed into Misty's arms.
''Luchia!?'' Came Misty's distressed voice, as she helped the girl stay on her feet. ''You alright?'' Was her fast question, as the girl finally managed to stand on her own feet.
Luchia shook her head a couple of times, to dispel the rest of the problems. ''Y-yea. Just a bit of a Aura overload, due to asking Riolu to help me set up a telepathic link with Mikachu, as she's way harder to set up with that my present Pokemon.''
Misty sighed with relief, as she watched Luchia ask Riolu to remove the excess aura and put it back into his storage. The Riolu then ran towards his mommy and asked if she was okay in telepathy, which he got a nod towards. His face was so sad that he instantly began to tear up and snuggle his mommy. ''Don't ask me to do that ever again, mommy. Your body isn't prepared for too much Aura!''
''Shh, shh. It's alright, baby...'' muttered Luchia, as she gently stroked him in order to calm the baby Emanation Pokemon down. The small puppy-like Pokemon frowned a bit, as he looked up, sadly. ''Hey, I'm gonna be alright. I won't ask for aura again, I knew the consequences but I had to ask Mikachu what was wrong.''
''Luu...'' muttered Riolu, sadly. ''Promise me this, mommy. You won't ever do that again, upset your friends and family. Nor your Pokemon. We care about you, ya know.''
Luchia smiled, nodding gently. Riolu smiled as he gently hugged her. But suddenly, he let go as he felt a build up of Aura in his body. He simply smiled, as his body began to glow and grow. The little lumps on his paws became longer and sharper, and a small point seem to form out of his chest. His ears became bigger, standing straight up and pointed. His looped ears doubled and grow a bit bigger. And lastly his tail shrank a little. The light faded to reveal Riolu in his evolution, Lucario. Luchia finally breathed out with shock. ''Y-you evolved?''
He growled a little, before smiling at his trainer. Luchia finally shook her head, gently moving forward and hugging him. ''My Lucario...you evolved...'' She had happy tears in her eyes for the first time. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her pokedex. She gently pointed it at Lucario and scanned him to check his new moves and stuff.
Lucario. The Aura catching the aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements. Upon evolution, this Pokemon learnt Aura Sphere, Bone Rush, Stone Edge, Brick Break and Earthquake.
''Wow, you learnt a load of moves when you evolved, Lucario...'' whispered Luchia. She then smiled, gently hugging him whilst being careful of the spike on Lucario's chest. ''I can't believe you evolved in the first place, but I'm glad you have. Lucario, your the best Pokemon a girl like me could ask for.'' She smiled, looking up at her Pokemon.
Lucario smiled in return. Ash looked at her sister, before asking. ''Why don't we head to the Pokemon Center. I need to do something when we get there, so lets get going.''
Luchia nodded in understanding, as she returned her 5 Pokemon. Just before she did, she felt a overpower in aura coming from Lucario. She didn't mention it as she began to speak. ''Okay, we might as well. I need to ask Nurse Joy about healing Mikachu, as I cannot catch her, I'm almost certain about that.'' The group nodded in agreement, as they began to walk through the town. Mikachu was staying mostly hidden in Luchia's arms, but beyond that. They look like a normal group of people with their Pokemon. They arrived at the center, Ash quickly left the group, sending Pidgeotto to Prof Oak's lab so that Mew's poke ball came unlocked. She then healed her team, after warning Nurse Joy about the specialness of one of her Pokemon.
He then watched as Luchia took Nurse Joy's attention, explaining her situation to the Nurse. ''Nurse Joy, it sounds stupid. But I have this Pokemon that cannot be caught. But is it still possible for you to heal her?'' She showed Mikachu.
Nurse Joy's face said it all, she was shocked at the sight of the Mew/Pikachu fusion. She managed to shake it off, after all Ash did show her a Mew a few seconds prior to that. ''I'm sure I'll be able to do something for you. And I'll explain it to my sister so they'll know when you arrive in their cities.''
Luchia smiled with relief as she handed her 6 poke balls and Mikachu over. ''Just be careful, my Lucario might be a bit out-of-mind as he only just evolve and the aura doesn't seem to be going with him, I felt it when he evolved.''
Nurse Joy smiled. ''It'll be fine. I have seen a couple of recently evolve Lucario's in my time and aura can be a problem for them, but I know how to handle it and I may be able to sort him out for you.'' She took the balls and went into the backroom. She turned back briefly, smiling. ''Your a good trainer, considering your Pokemon first like that. A Lucario is a dangerous Pokemon when it first evolves, as it overpowered aura can kill if it loses connection.''
Luchia nodded, whispering softly. ''Yeah...I know. I don't like revealing my secrets, but I trust you and your um, crazy family. With me being a Aura Guardian, I know about aura overload and how it can affect a Pokemon...''
Nurse Joy nodded in understanding as she whispered her reply, knowing that Luchia wouldn't wanna reveal her secrets out loud like that. ''Yeah. When I heard about your Lucario and your knowledge of Aura, I did begin to make connections. As Lucarios are known as being the typical Pokemon of Aura Guardians due to their link with Aura.''
Luchia smiled in response, knowing that it was the truth. Her's and Ash's ancestor was obviously Sir Aaron, who had a Lucario by his side most of the time. She watched as Nurse Joy walked away with the poke balls and Mikachu floating by her side. She went and sat down on a table, she looked out of the window. Misty came over, her Cheering Pokemon on her shoulders like always. She sat opposite Luchia, and the two Pokemon hopped onto the table and tried to get Luchia's attention. It didn't seem to work, so Misty coughed into her hand. ''Lu?''
Luchia jumped a bit and looked at Misty, sighing a little. ''Sorry, Mist. I'm just a little out of it. Today's been insane. First I obtain a abused Pokemon that's not even meant to exist, then Riolu evolved. I still can't believe that.'' She gave a small sigh, looking at Misty's Pokemon. ''It just seems like all of my babies are evolving. The only ones, who hasn't is Litwick and Gible. But that's only cause it takes Litwick's ages to evolve into Lampent...and I only just got her. It's the same with Gible.''
Misty looked at her, sadly. ''I understand your a little upset about all your babies evolving. But if you think about it, mothers have to go through this as their child grows and then goes on a Pokemon journey.'' She then made a little smile, as Luchia looked up at her with those sad, almost teary eyes. ''Now, cheer up. This is part of having Pokemon.''
Luchia looked at her, before looking at Mister's twin electric types. ''Says you, besides Goldeen, non of your Pokemon evolve...'' She seemed to be almost angry in her tone. Frustrated tears were in eyes.
Misty sighed, deciding she wasn't gonna pay attention to that near insulting line. ''Just because I don't have many Pokemon that can evolve doesn't mean I don't know it. Remember, Lu. I was raised to be a gym leader and so I was raised to evolve many different water Pokemon. I do have a Starmie remember.'' She looked at her girlfriend with sad eyes, knowing that Luchia didn't actually mean it.
Luchia sighed, taking a hold of Plusle and Minun so she could have some comfort without Misty hugging her. Tears leaked from her eyes, causing the twin Pokemon to look up, with the same sad eyes as their trainer. ''Mist...I probably shouldn't have insulted your team...'' She muttered, sadly. She breathed in then out. ''I'll be better in the morning. Night'' She walked off, taking her team and Mikachu back from Nurse Joy and then disappeared upstairs to the dorm.
Misty watched as her girlfriend disappeared, she sighed before whispering. ''You can be a burden, Luchia...I understand what your going through...'' She thought of a memory from two years prior, where she had a baby Pokemon of her own. 'Azurill...I'll come back to you one day, I promise. I shouldn't have left you with those sisters of mine in the first place...' She sighed as she went upstairs, going into hers and Luchia's room. Luchia was hidden by her blanket and was obviously sobbing a bit. ''I know you not gonna listen, Luchia. But believe me, I'm here for you.''
She got a grumbled mess of replies that nobody could decipher in their right mind. She sighed and went to her own bed. She took one last look at Luchia's shaking blanket that concealed the girl. She frowned, before going back to sleep.
Thanks for reading, hope you like Mikachu 'cause I think it's (She's?) cute. And yes, in my story, Mikachu is classified as a Pseudo-Legendary as she cannot be full-on classified as a full Pokemon due to the weirdness of who she is and the fact she doesn't have a pokedex entry.
As for Misty's Azurill, yeah. It is very much the Azurill from Tracey's Marill. I know she had it as sort of a replacement for Togetic. However, in this case, she has it from earlier. She knows Tracey from her childhood (My reasoning for not having to do Orange Islands, since I haven't watched it. I know the base details but never seen any of it. Never finished Kanto either, so can't say much :/) and he gave her Azurill. But this will be explained better when Azurill is brought back into the cast in a couple of chapters.
Please tell me if I made Luchia a little too overemotional. But here's what I'm thinking. She's suffering the idea that her babies are growing too quickly and she doesn't want it, she wants her little ones back. The ones she can hold in her arms and call her 'mommy' all the time.
