"So, uh… hi!" the little purple dragon said, waving cheerfully and fluttering her dragonfly wings. "It's nice to meet you!"

She tilted her head a little, curious. "I felt the pull of your powers from Elysium! Only, I'm not really sure how it all works, so I just got here and I know you've got some powers but I don't know the specifics. I know it's going to be fun, though!"

Ash blinked.

"...uh," he said, then looked at Lucario. "Do… you have any idea who this is?"

"I do not," Lucario replied.

"Oh, okay," Ash said. "I was wondering if, uh, if she was something to do with Sir Aaron."

Lucario slowly shook his head.

"How come you can talk, anyway?" Ash added. "Are you using telepathy like Lucario is?"

"Of course not!" the dragon said, shaking her head and lashing her tail for emphasis. "I'm a havoc dragon! And my name is Aivu, since you haven't asked."

She padded around Ash and Lucario, inspecting them both. "I don't think I've met someone like you. Are you a gnoll?"

"I do not know what one of those is," Lucario replied. "I am a Lucario."

"So what's your name?" Aivu asked, curious. "And what's your name, too? I know what humans are but I realized that I should have asked your names before now, that's very rude of me."

"I'm Ash Ketchum," Ash introduced himself.

"...Lucario is my name," Lucario added. "It is both a who and a what."

"That must make things a lot easier," Aivu said, nodding. "If you meet someone you already know what they're called! But it must make things very confusing if you're going to have a party or something."

She tilted her head. "Anyway, so… what are you doing? I just realized I don't really know."

"Pikachu went missing," Ash said. "...look, uh, are you a Legendary Pokémon or something? Can you help us?"

"I would be surprised if any Pokémon not only had not heard of a Lucario, but had never heard of the concept of a Pokémon's name being the same as their species," Lucario pointed out.

"Yeah, but… she's small and kind of purple?" Ash countered. "She's reminding me of Mew a lot."

"The personality isn't a bad fit, either," Lucario conceded.

"Yeah, I can help!" Aivu agreed. "Only, I don't know how, so… um. Any ideas?"

"What moves do you know?" Ash asked, getting out his Pokédex. "Uh… let's see…"

His Pokédex went beep.

No clue, it stated, then continued in Professor Oak's voice. You did it again, Ash? Make sure to get some good pictures this time.

"Pictures of me?" Aivu asked. "Do I have to stand still for them? I'm not good at standing still."

Moves determined, Dexter added, somewhat surprisingly. Fly, Boomburst, Charm.

"...maybe you're a Dragon and Fairy type?" Ash asked, more-or-less just guessing now. "Anyway, uh… if you want to come along, you can?"

"I like the sound of an adventure!" Aivu declared. "Only, can we have lunch first? Adventures are always better with lunch involved."

AN:

A slightly unusual appearance of Aivu from my various WOTR fic stuff, only here in Pokémon.

Because if Ash became mythic he might not even notice.

For more Aivu, see the Mythic Skywalkers Star Wars short and the Azataylor fic. For a lot more Aivu, see Golden-Eyed Heir to Myth on my AO3!
