"Hey, I'm doing it! I see a flicker of light in-between my hands!" Runo exclaimed.
"Woah, That's cool and now I gotta try it!" Blue replied.
"Nice! Now try to amplify that power!" Lucario explained to Runo.
"Sounds good, I'm putting my all in!" Runo yelled.
"Go for it!" Lucario encouraged Runo.
"I'll try to too!" Blue said as he put forth all his will into his hands.
Runo and Blue yelled as if they were from a certain anime, even though, they rarely watch it. Soon, a small Aura Sphere formed in Runo's hands, and a few flickers of light from Blue. Soon enough, they were both making a decent sized aura sphere.
"Now, let's work on merging our auras together, it will make you feel weird to the point where you can't focus no longer. So we'll work on it to the point where it won't feel weird." Lucario said happy with the progress Runo and Blue were making. "First, let's head to Runo's home, it's getting quite late. If we don't start getting back now, it will be very late."
"Sounds good," Blue replied to Lucario's suggestion
"Aw, man, I wanted to make more shiny blue balls. And flex on Weakish." Runo pouted but understanding of the situation.
"Who's Weakish?" Lucario asked unknowing of Weakish.
"Just another one of our friends, we like trolling him a lot." Blue chipped in.
"Yeah, wait, do you know what trolling is?" Runo asked as he packed up all of their belongings into his backpack.
"No, what's that?" Lucario asked his second question
"You heard of what a prank is, right?" Runo asked
"Yup!"
"So, it practically just that but a bit different. That's pretty much it." Runo explained as they reached the street.
"Alright, so, what are we having tonight, I'm starving.. All that training is making me hungry!" Blue butted in.
"Depends, we got stuff in the house. Like.. uhm.. Potato Salad? I don't know, we'll see when we get there." Runo said to calm Blue down.
"I'd like to taste this so called Potato Salad.." Lucario said, his stomach growling.. "You know, I kinda miss my Pecha Berries, they are my favorite.."
"Ooh, I'd like to try one, not gonna lie, I feel I want some fruits or something." Blue pondered with Lucario over a single type of berry that wasn't even on their world.
"Guys, we are almost home, wait, no, oh, no, no, no, no. They are home, they said they'll be gone for a week, only like 3 days have passed.. I don't know what to do." Runo spoke to himself
"What's wrong? Your parents come home or something?" Blue asked
"Yeah, that's their car, in the driveway of my house. Uhm, Lucario, we need you to hide. Once we get inside, we need you to run upstairs into my room, and if they are in it, just hide in the closet of another room." Runo ordered.
"S-sure? Should be easy enough.." Lucario said.
"As for you Blue, we need to just say that you were just passing by and we took a walk; alright?" Runo told Blue.
"All good, let's walk in and hope for the best." Blue said optimistically.
Soon, Runo and Blue walked inside as Lucario ran upstairs avoiding any contact. Runo and Blue took off their shoes and put it on the rack, that had always held shoes. The moon had now just surpassed the sun and was bringing a daily darkness upon the hemisphere of Earth. Following this, Runo walked into the living room with Blue then they both walked towards the kitchen. Where they reached Runo's parents.
"Oh, hey, mom, dad? What are you guys doing back so early?" Runo asked.
"Hi Hijo! We were came back early because they found out that the bride was cheating on her marriage day? Can you believe it, we spent all that money on gas and presents, only for her to cause it to end so quickly, so we just came back home and surprise you guys!" His mom ranted.
"I see you put in the new TV box, huh?" Runo's dad continued their conversation.
"Yeah, I did! Also, this is Blue, I was taking a walk down to the store to grab some snacks.. But we ate them all by the time we got here! Heh-ehehh…" Runo awkwardly finished.
"Oh, Blue! It's so nice to finally meet you, I've heard so much about you!" Runo's mom butted in to talk to Blue.
"Yeah! It's nice to you meet you too! Uhm- yeah! Nice to meet you too, Mr. Runo's Dad..?" Blue responded with a finishing of confusion.
"You can just call me Mr. D or just Dave, if you'd like." Mr. D told Blue
"Hey, guys, we are gonna head upstairs and play for a bit, we'll be down for dinner!" Runo said as he dragged Blue out of the kitchen.
"Wait, dinner's already don-.. They left.. What am I gonna do with them." Mrs. D cut herself off.
"Heh, he's gonna grow into a fine young man." Mr. D said, adding to Mrs. D's sentence.
"How'd it go?" Lucario asked as he started to add Aura to the A.S Orb. Making it shine quite a bit.
"Quite smooth if I may say myself.. I think I just rizzed up your mom, Runo!" Blue chucked as he made that remark in a such a tone.
"What's Rizz?" Lucario asked
"Really? Blue, if anything I rizzed up your mom, last week!" Runo responded to Blue, not listening to Lucario's question. Which he probably ignored, since it was telepathy that Lucario was using to communicate.
"Lucario? Why are you powering up the orb now?" Blue asked
"I sense danger.. I don't know who's coming, but they may pose a risk to us, and your family, Runo." Lucario said, keeping his black appendages floating up, signaling that we was looking for high signatures of Aura.
"Here, I'll help!"
"Me too,"
"Yet, you guys haven't had your training with merging auras and all!" Lucario warned.
"You said, yourself, that we couldn't activate this orb without at least two people.. So, that's why we are here!" Blue explained.
"You know, if we are gonna be powering this up, we might as well tell my parents about this, you and all, so I mean, they aren't thinking we are doing some sort of ritual in here with an alien." Runo furthered the conversation.
"But we are?" Blue said
"I guess that's true.. Lucario, is that okay with you?" Runo accepted then asked Lucario.
"Fine with me, just don't have them get in the way.." Lucario brought up.
"Alright, you two are coming with me!" Runo decided.
Runo proceeded to drag Lucario and Blue downstairs. Bringing them through the living room then having Lucario wait there, then going into the kitchen.
"Hey, guys, we gotta tell you guys something. Very important." Runo started.
"Yes? What is it?" Mr. D said.
"So, while you were gone, I stumbled upon my newest friend here, Lucario." Runo continued.
"You can come in here now." Runo thought, allowing Lucario to read this, he stepped in.
"He kinda fell out of the sky and landed on me. Somehow, I'm not hurt." Runo furthered explaining.
"And.. you know, I'm helping him to get back to his world/universe/whatever you call it." Runo finished.
"Are you sure this isn't just a prank? He just looks like he's in a costume. For your favorite Pokéman or whatever." Mr. D added.
"Lucario, show em!" Blue chimed in.
Lucario proceeded to make an Aura Sphere, proving that he was indeed a Pokémon. The Aura Sphere quickly dissipated as to not threaten Runo's parents. However, this seems like this effort was futile. Out of nowhere, Mr. D used his experience from the military and pinned him to the ground. Then, stabbing him in the back with his pocket knife. Preventing Lucario to focus and free himself. Runo, after seeing this revolution, ran towards the scene and landed after making a small yet oddly heroic jump.
"Raagh!" Lucario yelled in pain as he laid there, refusing to fight back.
"Let go of him." Runo demanded in a dark, yet deep voice.
"No! He's dangerous for our entire family! Including Blue, he could kill us easily!" Mr. D yelled as he made sure Lucario was still pinned to the ground, while also applying some force to make Lucario hurt as he laid there, on the floor.
"I. Said. Let. Him. Go." Runo demanded as he formed a small Aura Sphere of his own. As a way of telling him, 'back down'.
As soon as the Aura Sphere was formed, Mr. D slowly let go of Lucario and raised his hands in the air, realizing that he had make a mistake, crossing with his son, and his new friend. As Blue just stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do.
"Good." Runo said.
Runo now, went over to Lucario, asking whether he was okay, while providing enough pressure on the spot, Lucario was stabbed, and lifting him up from the ground.
"How'd the ground taste?" Blue said asking Lucario to lighten the mood.
Everyone just turned around and stared at Blue, then Lucario answered telepathically, "It kinda tasted like floor. Not gonna lie. Don't ask how I know that taste." Mr. And Mrs. D did not hear this, since Lucario didn't share his telepathy with them. Runo and Blue started laughing because of how out of place this was. Soon, they stopped laughing and now looked at Mr. D in a serious fashion.
"Now, we thought, we could trust you, but apparently, we couldn-." Runo started.
"Wait, no, we're sorry. We didn't know if he was safe to trust." Mrs. D yelled over Runo, after realizing what her husband had just done.
Distrust what was everyone was feeling at the moment. Silence ensued, throughout the downstairs area. Until, Lucario, then barked, sounding as all Lucarios do. A bark that was friendly yet, not sounding like a dog's bark at all nor any animals' for that matter. At this point, the moon was stationed at the top of the sky, showing that it was midnight. The moon's light was equally distributed around the planet. Lucario bowed in respect. No one understood what Lucario was trying to say, besides, Mr. And Mrs. D. Lucario had forgiven them. This was also a sign of respect from Lucario, this just showed how careful and protective they are.
"We understand. Lucario, was it? We are glad we have to an agreement." Mr. D said.
"Oh dear, you are bleeding terribly, I will patch that up for you." Mrs. D brought up.
Runo had not noticed that Lucario was still bleeding at such a rapid rate, even though, he applied ample amount of pressure through the whole ordeal. It should have been slowing down. The bandage material that was usually used for a broken bone cast was brought out and placed over Lucario's wound. At this point, the fur around the wound was getting crimson red with blood. Now, that it was somewhat healing, Lucario, Blue, and Runo all decided to work on the A.S. Orb.
"Let me bring it down here," Blue offered.
"Sure!" Both Lucario and Runo said.
"Jinx! Now you can't talk!" Lucario quickly yelled through telepathy.
"Mmhmmmhmmmmnmmnhm!" Runo mumbled through his sealed lips.
"Don't worry, Runo. All you gotta do is get me an oran berry!" Lucario said without realizing he said, Runo's name.
"Haha! You just said my name! Now, I'm free!" Runo happily exclaimed.
"No! My master plan!" Lucario telepathically said.
Runo's parents watched over both of them as Blue carefully set the Orb on the prop-up table.
"Alright, all set up! Let's give it a go!" Blue exclaimed, bringing both Runo and Lucario over to the A.S. Orb.
"3… 2.. 1. Go!" Lucario told them.
Lucario obviously created the Aura Sphere quicker than the others since he was the most experienced. Runo then brought his next, and finally Blue created his. Surprisingly, neither Runo, nor Blue had the nauseous effects, it would have given during their first try through this.
"Great job, guys, almost done!" Lucario encouraged them.
Soon enough, they had reached the maximum capacity the orb could handle and Lucario started scrolling through the options until he found: "RT3P: Return To". This would bring him home. He believes he's ready to face the monster. The ball started to shake, shaking even more, then continuing to shake. Energy shot out from the ball and spewed everywhere, then organizing a circle then somehow poking a hole through the air. Mr. And Mrs. D could not believe what they were seeing. Their son and his friend are helping an alien get back to his world and they actually did it. Lucario excited at this familiar sight, said, "This is it! I can finally return! Thank you so much Runo, Blue! I'll always remember you!" Lucario said for his final goodbyes. He gave a hug to the both taller boys and started heading towards the portal..
"Of course, We'll remember you too! Wait.. Is the door open? I feel a breeze..?" Runo said confused.
"I do too!" Blue backed up Runo's point,
"Weird, I do too, and I don't believe the door is open… Yeah, it's not.. So.." Lucario said..
The door then slowly creaked open.. But the wind wasn't coming from there.
"I don't feel anything?" Mrs. D added.
"This seems like a plot-point that would probably change our lives forever… Ehh.. I wouldn't think that much about it." Runo said.
"The breeze is getting stronger. Uhm.. Guys? I don't know about you, but I feel that the breeze is coming from the portal thingy.. Wait.." Blue said, making a lot of sense.
The portal got bigger and started to suck them into it. Perhaps, since their Aura was the ones who made the portal, they were linked to it, or even fated to go into it?
"Guys! Help! I'm almost in it!" Runo yelled for help.
"We got you!" Lucario said, trying to pull Runo back out, with the help of Blue.
"Oh no! We gotta do something!" Mrs. D said rapidly. Scared for son's safety.
"I know, I'm going there now!" Mr. D responded nearly grabbing onto Blue until, they all fell in.
"This is worse than that one theme park ride I went on!" Runo yelled as he fell deeper into the trans-dimensional portal. He started to feel nauseous.
"Don't worry, I'm coming Red!" Blue said.
"Guys! We're gonna split up! We need to find each other, try to find your way to Realis Town. That's where-" Lucario disappeared into thin air.
"Blue-" Runo yelled right before he disappeared into thin air, reappearing in the sky. Landing towards the world of Pokémon.
Author's Note:
Sorry this chapter took so long, school started and whatnot, and like the assignments are already hard. The power went out for a long time recently, so I decided it would be a good time to work on this. Also, Chapter 6 is in the works and probably be coming out Wednesday..? I'd probably have it done before then but, I need to buy some time to work on Chapter 7, soooo.. I hope the future chapters add more spice to the story. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Until next time, *start the music*
