Luci smiled as her plan began to form of the 'bonding' with Aaron that would occur the next day. However, she ran into a few problems. I can't pin Aaron while sparring, I promised him no training. Also, when he said that Tickle was a Pokemon attack...Well, I think I can take care of that, but I'll come up with something later to pin him.

The Lucario got up from the table she was eating lunch at with her trainer, and headed for the front door. "I'm going out for a while, going to meet my friend in the wild."

Aaron looked up from his sandwhich, "I thought we were going to rest for the day?"

"No, you said we would start our little bonding time tomorrow. It's still today, so I can still train, meditate, heck, do whatever I want for the rest of the day."

Aaron sighed and shrugged, "Stubborn dog."

"Hmph," Luci responed with as she stepped outside. Don't worry Aaron, you'll be apologizing to me soon enough...Wow, this really does feel fun!

A few hours later, as the sun began to dip, Aaron looked up to see Luci come back into the cabin. "Enjoy you time with your friend? Let me guess, more training?"

"Nope, something better," Luci said with a small grin.

Aaron's eyebrows narrowed, This isn't really like Luci, she's already started changing already? Well, it'll make our time together better anyways, and it's nice to see her smile. He said aloud, "Ok then, well, maybe it will help with our time together tomorrow. Thanks again Luci, for agreeing and all, I'm sure we are on the right track to getting you to achieve Mega-Evolution. You don't feel bad about me tickling you, right?"

Luci shrugged, "Hey, you thought it was the right thing to do, and it did get me thinking about a few things. Maybe training non-stop isn't all I need to do to become a Mega-Lucario, as crazy as it sounds. And as much as I don't want to admit it...*mumbles*"

"What was that Luci?"

"Nothing!" The Lucario replied, before heading to the training room, "I'm going to meditate for a while, come get me when dinner's ready."

With another sigh, Aaron got up and went to prepare the final meal of the day, "Well, looks like a few things about her are still the same. I hope I can get through to her more tomorrow."

As Aaron began to fix the meal, Luci could tell from the scent of food wafting into the training room as she was meditating, the Lucario went over ideas in her mind for her revenge plus bonding time with Aaron for tomorrow. My friend has been able to help with that one important part, now the problem of getting Aaron pinned or unable to move. Again, sparring is out of the question, so I have to try and catch him off guard. Aaron is a heavy sleeper, so my best chance to strike is probably as he wakes up. He does keep some rope in the house, but probably not enough...ehh, that sounds weird...yeah no tying him down. Come on Luci, think! Your a Fighting type, you have to know the weaknesses of your opponent! Now let's see, what weaknesses does Aaron have. Pretty sure he is ticklish, but I need to get him immobile before I start. I'll also have to find his most ticklish places...Wait...the parts of the body...nerves...that's it! The Lucario stood up, Perfect! This will work out well.

"Luci! Dinner's ready!"

"Coming Aaron!" As Luci walked towards the door, the same mischievous grin appeared on her face. Just like you said Aaron, getting 2 Fletchlings with 1 stone. I can get my revenge, and you can get the bonding experience that you wanted. And I'm sure you are going to looove it!

After eating dinner, both of them turned in. Aaron retired to his small bedroom, and Luci went to sleep/meditate on the couch, eagerly awaiting for her time for revenge. I have never felt this distracted from sleeping or meditating...Am I this excited for my revenge against Aaron, or is this the beginning of the bonding that he has been talking about...Whatever it is, I like it. With a another grin on her face, Luci finally was able to fall asleep.

Luci opened her eyes suddenly before relaxing. Another dream, so close to Mega-Evolving, but I always wake up before it's done! "Why?!" She punched her pillow, before looking up and over at Aaron's room, listening in case he woke up. After hearing nothing but soft snoring, Luci got up to look at a clock. Hmm, it's close to dawn, so technically it's tomorrow. I could...nah. I won't get him while he's sleeping, that's not fair, but as soon as he wakes up. Luci's mischievous grin appeared again as she began walking towards Aaron's room. She carefully opened the door, making close to no noise, and made her way to Aaron, standing over him as he was sleeping.

Luci looked at her trainer, at his messy, dirty blond hair, at his face, everything about him, and began thinking. What he did yesterday...Have I really been blinded by my training? Bonding...like when I was a Riolu...Ok Aaron, I'll admit, I was wrong. You were right about the need for a trainer and Pokemon bond...heh. I haven't even started yet, but I love this feeling. Wake up soon Aaron, and we shall begin our 'bonding'. With another grin on her face, Luci went over to the window and meditated, waiting for her trainer to wake up.

Little over an hour later, Aaron woke up from his sleep. Rubbing his eyes and looking around, he was surprised to see Luci in his room, meditating by the window. Why is she here, she never comes in my room unless it's something important. "Hey Luci, morning...*Yawn* What are you doing in here, is something wrong?

Luci opened her eyes and stared out the window, surprised to feel her heart beginning to race. Wow, am I really that excited to get revenge? Or is this just plain fun? Whatever is happening, I'm liking it! She got up from her cross-legged meditating position, and turned around to face Aaron, a smile on her face. "No, nothing's wrong Aaron, just eager to begin our day bonding as Pokemon and trainer!"

Aaron had a curious look on his face, he swung his legs over to the edge of the bed, in a sitting position. "You, are eager to begin a day of bonding? I thought I would have to drag you to do everything today. Hey, not saying I don't like it, but I didn't expect such a thing from you."

"Really Aaron? I'm hurt that you would think such a thing." Luci said with a mocking grin on her face.

Ok, this is definitely not how she acts, she's done a complete 180 from her attitude yesterday...what's going on here? Aaron thought, but he said, "...Ok then Luci, well, might as well get ready for the day," as he was about to stand up.

But Luci rested a paw on his shoulder and gently, but forcibly, pushed him back down to sit on the bed, holding him there.

"Hey! Luci, what gives?! I thought I told you no training!"

The Lucario shook her head, the smile on her face still there, "Actually Aaron, I'd thought we'd start our bonding immediately."

"What are you talking about Luci? What do you mean by-" but Aaron stopped talking as he looked at Luci's face, her smile turning into a mischievous grin, "Uhh...Luci?"

Luci quickly brought up her other paw and put it on Aaron's opposite shoulder. And at the same time, she squeezed both paws at points inbetween Aaron's neck and shoulders. The effect was instantaneous, Aaron's eyes went wide and he crumpled to the bed, laying on his back.

"Luci! What did you do, ugh!" he tried to move, but his body wouldn't respond, he could only move his head slightly and talk. "You promised no sparring or training, so what-Hey! What are you doing!"

While Aaron was still struggling and questioning Luci, the Lucario was rearranging his body. She brought his feet back on the bed and placed them together, next to each other. She then moved to his upper body, placing her trainer's body flat on his back and lying on the bed like he was sleeping earlier. She then moved his arms above his head. When she was done, she looked, with a wide grin, at her handiwork. Aaron was lying on his back, spread-eagle in the center of the bed, feet placed next to each other near the end of the bed. His head was whipping back and forth, as he tried to move and as he yelled at Luci to explain herself, but the rest of his body only twitched every once in a while. Even better he only wears pajama bottoms to bed, Luci thought.

"Gah! What did you Luci?! Why are you doing this?!"

Luci gave Aaron a kind smile as she replied, looking down at him as she stood beside the bed, "You said you wanted a day of bonding with no training? Well here it is. We aren't sparring aren't we? And you were the one who gave me the idea of 2 Fletchlings with 1 stone anyways."

Aaron went quiet as his mind began to process the details and what was happening. Wait, is she going to-? Oh no, oh Arceus no! "Wait Luci! You really aren't going to-?"

Luci's grinned turned mischievous, and she climbed up onto the bed, straddling Aaron above his hips. "Yep. I can get my revenge, and we can bond together as I'm doing so! It's a win win, would you say?"

"Wait! I meant spend the day together, talking, playing around, not this!"

"Well, we are together and talking at the moment, and I'm sure what's next can be considered playing. Now Aaron," Luci said, reaching out a paw, "Where did you tickle me first yesterday?"

Aaron tried another last ditch effort, struggling, but could only move his head, "Just tell me, what did you do to me?!"

Luci grin grew wider, "I'm a Fighting type, I need to know the weaknesses of everyone I fight, and I know about some certain pressure and nerve points that can help with what I want. Oh, don't worry Aaron! The effects will only last for say, about and half an hour? Now, oh yeah! You started at my belly yesterday!" Luci started to reach towards Aaron's bare stomach.

"W-Wait! Can't we talk about this?" Aaron pleaded.

Luci tipped her head to one side, "Well, maybe, but at the moment we are losing precious time bonding...so no." Luci then took 1 paw and began to circle around Aaron's stomach.

Just like Luci, Aaron's reaction was instantaneous, "Luhuhuhchehehehehe!Nohohoho!Hahahahahah!" His head was swinging back and forth, but everything below his head couldn't move.

Luci giggled along with Aaron, "Hehe! There! You're laughing, I'm laughing, I would call that bonding of Pokemon and trainer!" Luci then brought in her second paw and began to tickle him harder.

"Hahaahahahahahah!Nohohohohfairhhahaahahah!"

"What do you mean? Oh, 2 paws? Well, let's just say 1 paw if for revenge, the other is for bonding!" She then moved her paws up and began to dig into his underarms.

"Gahahahahahah!Staphitttthahahahahah!Nohohohohomorehahahaha!"

"Nu uh. Not until I give you the same treatment you gave me yesterday! Now what about here?" The Lucario moved her paws down and dug into both of Aaron's sides.

His laughter began to grow, "Nohohohohahahahahahahah!Nothahahahatherehheheher!Plehehehehehehehseee!"

"Oh? You're really ticklish on your sides? Good to know! Now, I think I left one spot untouched." She took 1 paw and began to swirl it around and in Aaron's navel.

While his laughter decreased, Aaron didn't stop laughing, "Heheheheheheh!Luhuhucehehehehehehehe!Staphstaphstaph!"

Luci gave a playful pout, "Aww, you're not that ticklish there? Shame..." She stopped there, but then slowly ran 1 paw up and down Aaron's right side, and continuing to talk, "Now, I think that is everywhere you tickled me yesterday?"

Aaron, still giggling, answered, "Yesssheheheh! That'sithahahahah!Staphnowhahahah!"

Luci slowed to a stop, looking down at her trainer as he began to get control of his breathing. "Now that was fun! How are you feeling Aaron?"

After he finish gasping, he looked up at the Lucario, "Wh-Why did you do that?"

Another small grin from Luci, "Didn't I already tell you? I wanted revenge for yesterday, and you wanted some time to bond, so why not do both at the same time?"

"I can't believe you did that...Can you get off of me now and let me up?" Aaron asked.

Luci got off Aaron, and stood at the side of the bed, but shook her head at his second request, "Sorry Aaron, you're gonna be stuck like that for about, oh...15 more minutes?"

Aaron's face changed to annoyed, "That's always the problem with you, your too stubborn! You didn't even think about me in this, asking me, just your revenge! I wanted to start the day off well, and you-"

Luci waved her paw, cutting him off, "In case you didn't notice, you didn't ask me when you attacked me yesterday. Also, you had fun yesterday, just seems fair I get my fun too, equality. And I'm sure you had some fun with this, like I did yesterday, don't lie Aaron."

Aaron looked away and kept silent.

"Also, please take back your comment about me being stubborn."

Aaron looked back at Luci, "I'm sorry for the way I said it, but like it or not, your are a stubborn Lucario."

Luci brought her face close to Aaron's, "The way I see it, your not in the position to talk back." She then climbed back up onto the bed and sat on Aaron's ankles.

"Hey what are you," Aaron then realized what she was going to do, "Oh no, don't you dare. Don't, you, dare."

Luci glanced back and grinned, "Do what? This?" She then ran her paws up and down Aaron's feet.

Aaron began laughing even harder than before, "Hahahahahah!NohohohohLuciehhehehehehehehheNotthereheheheher!"

"Wow, this must be your worst spot huh? Let's see what happens when I do this!" Luci pulled his toes back with 1 paw, and tickled under them with the other.

Aaron laughed harder and harder, "Hahahaha!Staphstaphstaphstaphstaph!Nohohohohomorehehehehahahahahahaha!Pleehehehehehehehehseeee!"

Luci finally stopped at his feet, but moved back to his upper body.

"P-please Luci...*gasp* N-no more." Aaron gasped.

"Do you take it back?"

"Y-yes..."

"Welllll, I accept your apology, but I have one more thing to show you." Luci's eyes began to glow, "My friend I met with yesterday is very good with teaching new moves. Know what this one is?"

Aaron's eyes grew wide, "Oh no, please no."

"I actually think this is a great way to end this little moment we are having, since you'll be able to move soon. Now..." Luci began to tickle all over Aaron's body.

Aaron's laughter grew more and more as Luci tickled everywhere, a few tears began to spring up from his eyes as well, "Hahahahah!Nohohostaphpleheheehehehseee!I'mbeggheheheheingyouhehahahahahahaah!" Soon, Aaron began to flail around as he regained control of his body. "Nohohoho!Staphahahahaahah!Ihahahyieldheheheheeheh!"

Luci stopped and Aaron rolled off the bed and onto the floor, gasping for breath.

"There! Wasn't that fun? Come on, you wanted a day of bonding as Pokemon and trainer, and isn't this a nice way to start it off?" She held out a paw to help him up.

Taking her paw, Aaron got up, "Well, I haven't laughed that hard before, that's for sure. And to tell you the truth...I did like it a bit."

"See? We are already bonding! Now come on, I'm hungry and you have to make breakfast." Luci left the room, heading for the kitchen.

Aaron shook his head and smiled, "That was something Luci, but watch your back. We both now know a weakness we both have, and I'm sure it will play a factor in future sparring matches."
