The Aura Within.
Chapter 3: Lets go!
"W-what?" Riolu was shocked, and rightly so. Latias laughed. "Riolu, you heard me. We've got to get going, we are on the wrong end of the world. It's times like these I wish Palkia could be bothered to shift little pokemon like us." Riolu gut on her back, ready to fly, when they hard a scream from the trees behind them. They both wanted to go investigate so they went to see.
Riolu parted the bushes that separated them from the noise, and they saw a female lucario being mugged by a magmortar. "C'mon lady, I don have all day." He laughed through rows of broken teeth. Riolu felt a great energy rise through his boy and he sent a HUGE blast of water at the magmortar. Needless to say, it blasted him far far away.
Latias stood (Floated?) in awe, her jaw dropped. She said: "Oh my! You really are Mew's chosen!" Riolu cocked his head at this, and said: "What?" "Hello!" Said Latias, "you used HYDRO CANNON. The is no way you should be able to use that! That proves you are Mew's chosen. If you try, you should be able to use any move."
They both looked over at the lucario who had fainted from relief. "Well, what should we do with her?" Riolu asked, Latias said: "Get some water, lets wake her up."
There was plenty of water left on the ground from where the magmortar was blasted, but strangely the puddles near the lucario were very clean and had had no mud in them, so Riolu splashed that on her. The lucario coughed and opened her eyes. "You saved me?" Riolu nodded. "Thank you." She got up at that point, and began to change. "My name's Suicune. What's yours?"
Riolu just looked up, mouth agape, at the newly transformed suicune looking down at him. Both Latias and Suicune laughed. Latias said: "It was just a test, don't worry. But we didn't exactly expect you to use a move like that one. Poor Morty." And then she laughed some more.
"So, it was all fake...? And I saved Suicune?" Riolu said. "Yep! That's right!" Said Latias. Riolu sat down with a look on his face that was a mix of happiness and confusion.
"I guess it doesn't really matter anyway." I helped someone, even if it wasn't for real." A tear appeared in his eye as he said this. "Riolu..." Latias said. "Don't. It's okay." But Riolu cried anyway. "I don't want to do this! I don't want to be special! I just want to go home, but where's home?" Riolu said, crying pretty hard now. Latias went to comfort him but he rejected her. He went over to Suicune and said: "Suicune, could you take me to Jirachi? She can grant wishes right? Can she make me evolve? I want to evolve so I can have better control over my emotions, over my powers, over my aura..."
Suicune contemplated this for a minute then said: "There are easier ways to evolve little one. Just find someone who makes you happy, and stick with her. I found someone, a long long time ago. She released me though, she thought I'd be happier running free like I should. She was, sadly, right. But you, you're a riolu. Not a legendary. You can have someone to take with you."
They all heard the sound of an explosion over in the clearing to their hurried to put a barrier over them all so they wouldn't be hurt by flying bits of trees and rocks.
They went over to look and saw a vulpix and her trainer battling a wild grovile. The grovile was using Leaf Blade so it must have been a pretty high level, but the vulpix had a protect up so it didn't hurt her.
The vulpix let down her protect with an order from the trainer and with a second word spewed little bits of fire over the arena, only to have them hang in the air around grovile. "That's a will-o-wisp!" Latias whispered to Riolu. "It'll eventually cause nasty burns." But the grovile dug underground and the fire, being unable to follow, went out.
The vulpix looked left and right, but a word from her trainer and there were suddenly several vulpix on the field, running everywhere. The grovile popped out of the ground with the speed of at least 30 mph and hit several of the vulpix which disappeared upon contact with the blades on his arms.
Riolu looked at Latias and Latias said: "Double team. Makes lots of illusions of the pokemon that used it." Before the grovile could go back underground, the vulpix hit it with a flame wheel/fire blast combo that looked like a circle with a star in the middle, hit the grovile head on and K.O'd it.
The trainer threw a Luxury Ball and captured the grovile.
"Hmm," She said. "How about Neo? You sure move fast." The trainer released Neo onto the ground and began applying a purple colored potion to his wounds. As she did this, Riolu snuck around her back and snatched a Pokeball from her pack. he brought it over to Latias and said: "She seems like a good trainer, what do you think?"
End chapter.
Make sure you let us know what your opinion is about Riolu getting caught by this trainer. He certainly would make her work for it!
