Ash was walking down the road with Pikachu in his arms, but was suddenly stopped when something grabbed his collar. He jerked to a stop and turned around.
"What do you think you are doing with that Pokemon, mister?"
"Hey! This is MY Pokemon, and it's hurt! I need to get to a Pokemon Center now!"
"Just show me your Pokedex and I can let you go," Officer Jenny said. Ash handed her his Pokedex and she looked at Pikachu and said, "This looks like a Pokemon emergency, get in my sidecar, I'll get you to the Pokemon Center fast." Ash didn't have time to say anything before he was placed into the sidecar, and they started going, holding his bag and Pikachu in his lap to protect them. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed when they shot straight at the door of the Pokemon Center. He didn't notice an angry red headed girl that was watching him ride in the motorcycle, and she was holding a crispy bike in her hands. "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" she growled angrily, then ran off.
The motorcycle flew into the Center and screeched to a halt, leaving a black streak on the floor of the Pokemon Center.
"We have a parking lot, you know!" A pink haired woman reprimanded the Officer. Officer Jenny sweatdropped and said, "But it's a Pokemon emergency!" and nodded to Ash, who got out of the car and gave Pikachu to the nurse.
"Please heal him!" he said.
The nurse took Pikachu and said to a Chancey, "I need a stretcher for an Electrical Rodent, stat!" which was immediately brought. Ash followed Nurse Joy, but stopped at the door, and went to call his mother and Professor Oak.
On the third ring his mother picked up. "Oh, hello sweetie! How are you?"
"Fine mom. I got to Veridian rather quickly."
"Oh that's nice! It took you dad four days to get to Veridian on his first day."
"Okay. I'm going to call Professor Oak now."
"Okay honey. Call me later!" and with that, she hung up.
Ash quickly dialed Professor Oak's number and he picked up on the first ring.
"Hello?" the professor said.
"Hello Professor. I have a question to ask."
"What is it, Ash?"
"Have you ever heard of a Pokemon called 'Riolu?'"
"Ash, how could you have heard of that!? That's a Sinnoh Pokemon!"
Ash told Oak about what had happened with the two Pokemon. At the end, Oak was amazed.
"Ash, those Pokemon were Lucario. And they only show themselves to people with pure hearts. Put your Pokedex into the phone, I'm going to upgrade it." Ash did as he said, and in a few seconds, a beep told him it was finished. He took back his Pokedex and returned it to his pocket.
"Ash, promise me you will tell me of any strange behaviors that this Riolu has."
Ash nodded and hung up.
