What you are about to read may be the most pointless chapter in the story. This only got left in as a remnant of my original draft of the story. In my original story, the story started here as a reflection of Lucario's life and his father's untimely death. Feel free to skip if you desire.
Chapter 25-Mewuskovia, Again
It is a rather typical day in Mewuskovia. The village is a poverty-stricken dump due to Mewtwo's oppression. Life really sucks here. Like almost every day, Lucario found him hanging in the alleyway with Absol.
Absol: How were things yesterday?
Lucario: As good as things can get here, which is really sucks.
Absol: Freedom and human rights would be more enjoyable.
Lucario: (softly) Absol, shut up! We cannot be caught discussing our wishes for freedom. To speak against Mewtwo would man certain death!
Absol: Aren't we supposed to stand for our values even if we face persecution?
Lucario: (quietly) If we are dead, we cannot liberate the north from Mewtwo. We need to stay alive if we are to live.
Guard: (enters) Is there a problem here?
Lucario: No, sir. (Guard stares Lucario down; Lucario gives Mewtwo salute) Hail Mewtwo!
(Guard leaves; Lucario lights cigarette short time after)
Absol: Hey, Lucario. When did you start smoking?
Lucario: I started when Hypno died. I made a vow to God that I would stop when Mewtwo was defeated.
Absol: I wish good health upon you.
Lucario: (hears wife calling from distance) That must be Lilly. Lunch must be ready. See ya. (leaves)
Absol: I suppose I better head home. (leaves)
There. You missed very little of the story by skipping this chapter.
