HEY GUYS!! Sorry this took so long! But here it is!!
Aurora finally stopped running, she wiped the sweat off of her brow as she gasped for the oxygen her body caved for. She looked over to her Pokemon, who unlike her was unfazed by their long run. He was giving her a look that said are-you-serious?.
"Stop looking at me like that! Unlike you I don't have an endless supply of unhuman energy!" Her voice rising as she spoke.
Lucario blinked not knowing what to say, the last thing he needed was to rile her up more.
The silence was killing him.
They have been walking for a while now not saying a word to the other.
"Master?" Lucario asked.
"Yes." She answered looking down at him.
"What is a Pokemon contest?" He looked back up at Aurora.
"Oh ya! I guess that they didn't have contests back in your time!"
Lucario nodded.
"Well a Pokemon contest is uhh…well a contest that many people compete in to see which Pokemon is the most…Beautiful. But that's not all, to be a good Pokemon coordinator not only does your Pokemon have to look good, they have to be graceful and in balance. They can't just look beautiful, they have to be beautiful, all they way down to the attacks they use."
Lucario understood exactly what she meant. They can't just look beautiful, they have to be beautiful. Her words echoed through his mind, leaving a permanent imprint as they did.
"How do you tell if the Pokemon actually is beautiful?"
"Well how about I tell you how contests work."
"Yes, thank you master."
Aurora smiled at him. "Well first off there's the visual competition where basically you show off your Pokemon and it's moves, usually by combining them to make a good impression on the judges who in turn rate your performance. If you get enough points you move on to the second round, which is a bit trickier because it's a battle against another random coordinator who also made it to the next round.
"Why is it, as you say trickier?"
"Simply because your Pokemon must still be beautiful throughout the whole fight, the judges take everything into consideration, even the way your Pokemon may doge a move or use one…It's kind of annoying actually…" she muttered the last part.
"I think I understand."
The one sided conversation continued about an hour after that.
At about mid afternoon they stopped to have a beak. Aurora sat against an old oak tree and Lucario sat on top of a near by bolder protruding from the grassy earth. He started to eat the berries he had been picking on the way. Having nothing better to Aurora looked up at Lucario and asked: "Hey Lucario, Do you think you could tell me about your old master?" "Why do you ask?" He questioned looking at her.
"Just curious, that's all."
Lucario looked up to the sky a blank expression on his face. "His name was Aaron." He paused. "Sir. Aaron, a faithful servant of the queen, and the one who stopped the war and brought peace to the land…" He continued on and on about the time they shared together.
Aurora was in awe. There where two main reasons for this. The first being this man Sir. Aaron and everything he'd done, and the second being Lucario who held so much love and respect towards him. "What did he look like?" she asked when he finished.
"He had fairly long dark blue; almost black hair, which he almost always covered up with his hat." He looked at Aurora, at her eyes. "And he had…his eyes…they where the same color as yours, pail blue…" Lucario resisted his need to cry and took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he did so.
Aurora gave Lucario a sympathetic smile. She reached into her bag beside her and through out some pokeballs out of them came Blaze (Charizard), Pidgeot, Espeon, Flygon, Aggron, Lugia, mew and two Evee's, though one was white. Blaze instantly started napping, Pidgeot flew off somewhere, Espeon curled up In Aurora's lap, Flygon also started napping, Aggron stood proudly by Aurora's side like some sort of royal guard, Lugia dove into a near by lake, Mew started jumping on Blaze's stomach and the two Evee's played together.
Aurora then took out a sketch pad, a pencil and a box of pencil crayons. She opened it and started to draw. Lucario watched her through the corners of his eyes curious of what she was doing. He got of the rock and started walking towards her.
"Espeon, don't let Lucario see what I'm drawing." She commanded dryly.
"Espy!" she answered.
"What?" was all Lucario said before a familiar blue surrounded him, stopping him as it did. He struggled for awhile until he got tired and gave up. "Why master?"
"You must be patient, my dear." She blinked in shock from what she just said, after a couple seconds she mumbled: "I have to stop hanging around old people…"
An hour passed and after drawing and coloring, Aurora had finished her picture.
"Ohhh!" She squealed examining it. "One of my best ones yet!"
"Finally…" Lucario had been in the same exact position for an hour thanks to his masters Espeon, his legs where both asleep along with his arms. He had just woken up five minuets ago from his short 'cat' nap, tough his eyes where still closed.
"Thanks Espeon, you can let him go now."
"Espeon!" He replied releasing Lucario.
Lucario, who couldn't feel his legs, fell instantly after the blue light left his body. Now lying face down in the grass his arms and legs spread out like a star. His eyes where swirls and his tongue lulled out of the side of his mouth.
Aurora couldn't help bursting out laughing at one of the most hilarious thing she had ever seen. "Sorry Lucario!" She said though her giggles.
By now all the Pokemon joined Aurora, laughing at the poor Lucario trying to get up and failing.
Aurora stopped laughing seeing her Pokemon struggling to get up. "Ok guys, that's enough. Leave him alone now."
Every single one of them obeyed without question.
Haha, I'm so evil! Unfortunately you'll have to wait for the next chapter to see what Aurora drew. Sorry again for the long wait, I was preoccupied with other things (Itachi) T.T yes i'm one of his many fangirls...anyways Thanks guys! R&R!!
