Author's Notes: GAH, so sorry this is late. I started working on it at seven, but I got side-tracked talking to a person I hadn't talked to in a while. It was really fun. Crap, my sisters telling me to get off because it's late. Short comment time!

BFoS: Oh, I love it when you submit those happy reviews. Thanks so much for the support.

Foxyjosh: Trust me, it's really complicated, but it will be explained later.

Dark Wolf 021: Don't worry, just as long as you read the chapters I'll be happy. And kadabra? I might be able to squeeze him in somewhere. What do want his/her name to be?

kathlaida-princess: OH THANK GOD. I was worried that I... actually I shouldn't be spoiling it for those who read the story. Thanks again for letting me do what I'm doing :D

And now on with the story

Chapter 33

1 months later

When I left Karen's office, I was puzzled by her behavior, but I decided not to ask questions. When I returned to the apartment, Terra and Dallin were both throwing questions at me, asking, no, demanding to know what happened. I explained everything up to the part before Lugia landed on the building. Unfortunately, I was right when I thought that Lugia shook the building, so they both asked persistently what happened. I didn't want to tell Terra that Lugia was here, she was already mad enough that she didn't see him the first time, and now she was only one floor away from meeting him. But, alas, they got the information out of me.

Terra didn't say anything, but I could sense that she wanted to explode. But, I knew she wouldn't with what we were expecting from her.

Dallin and Terra were starting to get bored from those days. Most of the missions, nowadays didn't require them, and I was starting to feel lonely without there help. Of course, they had helped occasionally since then, but they weren't having as much fun as they did before.

As the baby cyndaquil's time approached, me and Terra were getting more excited and more nervous by the second. We spent forever trying to come up with a name suiting of it, but we came up unsuccesful.

I arrived at the apartment from the ACPF's, which were actually starting to run empty. The way things were going, it seemed that I would be finished with them in a matter of months, but with Team Rocket's new technology, the chipped pokemon seemed to be coming in faster and faster.

I was in Karen's office awaiting her orders.

"So, where to, today?"

She put on the usual smile and pulled out a map from under her desk. "Right here," she said, pointing to a spot in the middle of the mountains.

"What, in the mountains, would be a threat?"

She put on a rather devious smirk, "An Alpha plant." I flinched back when she spoke these words.

I had always felt a rush of adrenalin before facing a chipped pokemon, but that became a rush of fear when she spoke those words.

Karen continued, "Don't worry, we're a little more prepared this time, ever since your little 'incident' with the last Alpha plant. This time, we've sent a few dechippers to infiltrate the building, and send us information on what's going on. Once again, our transmissions run a different signal, other than the one that scrambles our location signals. They say that this plant is a massive necessity to Team Rocket. Apparently this is where the Rockets test there technology on pokemon. This place has a chip manufacturer, just like the last one, only this place is much bigger. It was made more for the testing than the manufacturing.

"Anyway, because this place is so much larger, there are less guarded area's which will make sneaking a breeze. This is good, as, I'm sorry to say, you can't bring Dallin or Terra."

"WHAT!?" I yelled without realizing. I could see the shock in Karen's face. "Sorry, sorry, it's just they've been kinda bored lately. Anyway, why can't they come?"

"The Rockets have installed a system that tracks any unchipped pokemon within ten miles. Any pokemon that enters that area will be tracked and tested on, a terrible fate that is. If you take Dallin with you, alarms will sound Dallin, and your presence. That leads to certain doom for you and Dallin."

"I see." I fell silent again.

"So, from the dechippers transmissions of the building perimeters, we've come up with a plan to follow." She pulled out another large blueprint, one that covered almost her entire desk.

"Oh great." The next thirty minutes was spent explaining which way to go through the building. The plant had a pyramidal shape, that was lined with many staircases. Apparently, the chip manufacturer and core was at the top of the plant. She told us which hall ways and which stairs to climb. It was confusing but I finally grasped the idea.

I went to my apartment, and explained the situation to Dallin and Terra. Dallin crawled over to Terra and curled up against her, mumbling something in his head. He was pretty annoyed that he couldn't come.

I grabbed the EMDAC's and the gliders just in case I needed to make an emergency evacuation. I made my way back to Karen's office, and gathered my supplies: the C4 and blueprints.

"Alright, I'm ready to go. Where are you gonna teleport me?"

We're going to try to put you a few minutes away from the place, at a higher elevation so that you can see if anything's coming." At that moment Karen opened the portal. "Good luck, Nick."

"Thanks." I walked in.

I was greeted by the cool mountain air, although it was calm and not windy. The mountains surrounded me at all sides. I looked down and saw the Alpha chip plant, but this one was a lot less subtle. The plant stood approximately seven stories tall, and was colored a very dark blue. It wasn't exactly a pyramid, as it had layers that seemed stacked on top of each other. Each side of the building had windows that towered up all the way to the top of the building.

I nervously started to approach the building. I had five minutes to get inside, before the guards went back to their guarding post. I ran to the building and arrived at a set of glass doors. I silently opened the doors, went in and forced myself up against the wall, just in case anyone came. I was in a massive hallway, not by width, but by height. The windows towered above me just as they did outside. They were the only source of light, but they only lit up a path of light down the center of the hallway.

I pressed up against the wall, and investigated the blueprints. After scanning the next few moves, I moved silently through the hallway, took a turn left, and found myself at the first staircase. I made my way up, one floor down six to go. The next set of stairs was at, the east side of the building, which was just around the corner. I made a dash, but my thoughts were interrupted.

'NO, let go. Damn it, let me go!' Came a young male voice. Suddenly a howl sounded after it. I followed the noise to a nearby room. I opened the door slightly and peered in.

A lucario stood with two rockets grabbing a hold of his arms. He pulled away from the Rockets but the grabbed harder. A third rocket approached with a syringe, filled with a strange liquid. I made a guess that it was the tranquilizer resistance. The man approached as the lucario struggled against the rockets. One of the Rockets holding the lucario picked up a nearby strap of some sort, and smacked the lucario straight across the back. The lucario howled in pain, and stopped struggling, but I couldn't withhold my anger. Without thinking I stormed into the room.

"HEY!" I yelled. The rockets immediately shifted their attention towards me. My mind told me to stop, but my anger made me continue. "You can't do that to him!" I sad, storming towards them. 'Oh god, what the hell am I doing?'

'Hey, you can talk?'

'It's complicated.' Just then, the lucario attempted to jerk out of the rocket's grip, but the rockets held on tight. The rocket holding the strap whipped the lucario again. The lucario howled and whimpered in pain. "Get out of here, kid," one the third rocket said pulling out a gun. The fear built up inside of me, but my anger persisted.

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" The lucario lifted his head in hope. Within an instant, his eyes started glowing.

"Hey, what's going on here," the first rocket said, still keeping his grip. All of my fear drained out, and got replaced with excitement. It was happening, it was finally happening.

Suddenly, a white aura lifted from the lucario's back. This time, the aura immediately came towards me, and dived in. The rockets backed off in fear, and I sensed my advantage. I let out an evil grin, and started to lift into the air. I spanned my arms, trying to induce as much fear as possible. The white light engulfed me, and my transformation had begun. My entire body tingled, but still went numb, as if nothing was happening at all. The rockets attempted to retaliate by shooting the sphere of light, but the bullets deflected as they did last time.

This time the transformation ended in ten seconds, in a loud explosion that threw nearby objects away. I gently landed on the floor, and smirked at the rockets. This time it was a lot easier to notice the changes in my body. I stood with a lot more posture, and throughout my body, I felt so much stronger and powerful. My legs felt stiff, I felt as if I could jump through the roof with sheer power.

I stood in the center of the room. I stood as intimidating as I could. I stood with the anger and rage boiling inside of me.

I stood a lucario.

Author's After-notes: Anyway, I was supposed to write a lot more than this, but this was an exciting cut off, and there was also the fact that I wouldn't be able to finish the chapter on time.

Anyway, I think lucarios are cool now. And, I know the next chapter will be good. Why? Because, like chapter 30, it was musically inspired. I won't tell you what song it is now, but I will when I submit the next chapter
