Lucario & the Legend of Time
Part 1







Chapter 1
The Betrayal of the Hero of Time?




In ancient Sinnoh, a war between two powers was raging. The war was between the forces of the Dark Lord Ganondorf's possessed Pokemon and the forces of the soldiers and their Pokemon from Hyrule Palace. One day during this war, the Aura Pokemon, Lucario, was traveling through a rocky area sensing the aura of one of Ganondorf's possessed Pokemon armies. After sensing the aura of another army, led by the Hylian Palace Soldiers and their Pokemon, Lucario ran off to a spot where he could communicate with his mentor, Link, who is also known as the Hero of Time. However, Lucario was attacked by a small group of Floatzel. When one of the Floatzel got dirt in Lucario's eyes, he temporarily lost his sight. Lucario used his power to sense the Floatzel group's aura and knocked them out with multiple Aura Spheres. Next, Lucario went to a certain spot and found a communication crystal, one of many scattered throughout the Hyrule Palace area, and contacted Link. “Here me Link...” Lucario would mutter. At Hyrule Palace, Link heard Lucario trying to contact him through the Master Sword. “Link....” Lucario would say. “What's wrong, Lucario?” Link asked. “One of the armies that are under Ganondorf's control are about to clash with one of the armies of Hyrule Palace, and the palace is caught between the two of them. Once the battle starts, we'll all be destroyed...” Lucario explained.

The current ruler of Hyrule Palace, Princess Zelda I, stared out to the distance. “When the armies reach this palace, our kingdom will fall....” Princess Zelda I would say. Link then decided to speak up. “Princess, I must go and confront Ganondorf one last time, and this will be the last. Have you forgotten? I have the Triforce of Courage and the power of aura” Link said. “I do remember. It's just that I worry that the Triforce may not be enough to stop the Dark Lord. But, I shall pray for your safe return....” Zelda I would say. “Thank you. If I die, I'm sure someone will be born with the spirit of the hero in the future. Perhaps I will have a descendant to carry on my duties. Zelda.... farewell....” After Link made his good-bye, he raised the Master Sword skyward and his steed, Epona, showed up below the palace balcony. Link jumped down onto Epona and began to travel to the Tree of Time, where Ganondorf had made his headquarters. After stopping somewhere, Link met up with Lucario. “Forgive me for arriving late, master...” Lucario said. “Lucario, what happened to your eyes?” Link asked. “Don't worry about me, master” Lucario said. “Don't call me that....! I've abandoned Princess Zelda I and all of the Hyrule Kingdom! I'll never return!” Link said. “But... that's impossible....” Lucario muttered. Suddenly, Link ran off. “Master, wait!” Lucario called as he started chasing after Link. Then, the Hero of Time tossed the Master Sword into the ground and the sacred blade began to glow. “Link!” Lucario yelled. Lucario was sucked into the Master Sword. “Why master? Why......?” The Aura Pokemon said as he faded into the blade. Just before the battle, Princess Zelda I muttered, “The fighting has upset the Tree of Time, it's crying..... It's surprising that the Tree of Time is still alive even after it has fallen to Ganondorf.”. At the Tree of Time, as a finishing move, Link used the power of aura and the power of the Triforce of Courage to seal away Ganondorf into a realm of eternal darkness. “Ganondorf! May you disappear forever into a world of eternal darkness!!” Link shouted. “This is not the end.....” The Dark Lord said as he vanished into the Dark World. Then, the Tree of Time began to glow a golden light, and the clashing armies stopped their fighting. Ganondorf's possessed Pokemon armies returned to normal and went back to their homes. Princess Zelda I saw the golden light being emitted from the Tree of Time and knew what Link had done. Link had used the power of aura and the power of the Triforce of Courage to seal away Ganondorf and sacrificed his life to return peace to the Hyrule Kingdom. Years later, Ganondorf had somehow escaped his prison and was resurrected. He took the Triforce of Wisdom from Princess Zelda I and searched for the Triforce of Courage for another several hundred years. It was only a matter of years before Link's descendant was born and was completely unaware of his ancestry. Link's descendant was a 14-year old Pokemon Trainer named Will.....

Chapter 2
The Festival of Time


Thousands of years after the sacrifice of the Hero of Time, a festival is held once a year at Hyrule Palace in honor of the Hero of Time. In this particular year, a group of Pokemon Trainers were competing in the battle tournament of the Festival of Time. The trainers included Ash Ketchum, Will, Brock and Dawn, and of course, their Pokemon partners, Pikachu, Charmander and Piplup. “Wow! I haven't been to a festival in a while!” Ash would say. “Neither has the rest of us, Ash....” Will said. “It says here that there's a Pokemon battle tournament at the festival.” Brock said while reading a traveler's guide. “Hey Brock, aren't there any costumes being worn at the festival like at the Pokemon Contests?” Dawn would ask. “Yeah, it says here you can get them at the palace.” Brock responded. “I'm gonna wear something heroic!” Ash said. “It's a good thing I packed my Hero's Clothes, and my trusty Hero's Sword and Hylian Shield....” Will said. While the group was walking over to the palace entrance, a giant hot air-balloon with the face of a Pokemon called Meowth had a group of Pokemon thieves called Team Rocket spying on the group. “So the twerps are gonna enter a tournament, huh?” The girl named Jessie wondered. “It appears to be so elegant....” The young man identical to Will known as the Clone would say. “I sure wouldn't mind seeing them lose...” The man named James would say. “And maybe we can take their Pokemon!” The scratch-cat Pokemon, Meowth, would say. “We'll have to get some good costumes to blend in with these weird pointy-eared people....” James would say. The Clone scanned the people and got information on who they are. “My scanners indicate that these people are known as Hylians....” The Clone said. “Hylians???” Jessie, James and Meowth asked all at once. “It is said that Hylians are the closest race to a connection to some gods...” The Clone explained. While the Clone was explaining, a small device that functions as a camera and a missile launcher, was spying on Will, but the Meowth balloon was in the way. So the device turned into a missile launcher and launched a missile at Team Rocket and blew up the air-balloon. “GAAAHH!!! WHO WOULD BE SO CRUEL TO LAUNCH A MISSILE AT US??!!” The Clone yelled. “WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!!” Team Rocket yelled. “TOTALLY!!” The Clone finished.




The device floating in the air was being controlled by Ganondorf. In a small room with a large computer in the Tree of Time, Ganondorf was seeing the festival and continued spying on Will. The Dark Lord made a sinister grin. “So you're the descendant to the Hero of Time.... Soon, the Triforce will be mine and I will be the absolute ruler of the world..... hm, hm, hm.....” Ganondorf would laugh quietly.





Chapter 3
The Pokemon Battle Tournament of Hyrule Palace



After arriving in a dressing room, Ash, Will and the others gazed in excitement. “Wow! Look at all the costumes!” Ash said. “Which one should I choose?” Dawn wondered. While Pikachu and Charmander looked out the window, Will came out. “Hey you two! What do you think of this outfit? Do I look like a hero or what?” Will asked. “Pika! Yeah!” Pikachu would say. “Char! You look great!” Charmander would say. “Will? Is that you?” Dawn asked hardly recognizing Will in the green tunic and hat while carrying his sword and Hylian Shield on his back. “Yep, it's me! I really look like the Hero of Time now!” Will said. “Hey guys! How do I look??” Ash would ask in his old Aura Guardian costume. “Wow, Ash! You found the Aura Guardian costume again! You look great as always!” Will said. “Haven't seen you wear that in a while.” Brock said. “Ash wore a costume like that?” Dawn would ask. “Yeah, he wore a costume just like the one he's wearing right now before when we went to Cameron Palace in the Kanto region. Back when we were traveling with May and Max.” Brock explained. “Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go the Pokemon Battle Tournament!” Will said. The gang then left for the tournament, and Team Rocket then came in to the dressing room. “Okay then, here's the plan... We'll put on a disguise and then we'll go and steal some Pokemon!” The Clone said. “Don't be so hasty... You three are gonna disguise yourselves as my dates!” Jessie said while coming out in an old fashioned dress. “As your dates?!” James and Meowth shouted. “Again?!” The Clone added.



Outside in the stadium, an announcement was made. “Ladies and gentlemen, here to host the tournament is the direct descendant to Princess Zelda I and current ruler of Hyrule Palace, Princess Zelda II!” The announcer would say. The crowd cheered. “Wow, she looks so beautiful!” Dawn said. “And now everyone, I am pleased to host our Pokemon Battle Tournament at our annual Festival of Time. The winner of the tournament will be dubbed as this year's Hero of Time! Please enjoy, everyone!” Princess Zelda II would announce. The Pokemon Battle Tournament had begun. The battles went on with Ash winning the first match, but losing the second match to a mysterious figure dressed up as a knight. Will had won the third match and moved on to the final match against the mysterious knight figure. Will won the battle with his Charmander using his special Blast Burn move to defeat the mysterious knight's Weavile. “Great job, Charmander! We won!” Will would cheer. Then, the mysterious knight figure approached Will and took off her helmet. “I knew I wouldn't be able to beat you! You're tough as always, Will!” The figure said. “Hey! I remember you, you're Kidd Summers!” Will said. “Hey! It's Kidd Summers!” Ash said. “AAHH!! KIDD SUMMERS!! IT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG!!!!” Brock yelled in excitement while towards Kidd. “My love for you has greatly improved since we last..... GAAA!!! ...met... uuhh....” Brock said while being poison jabbed by his Croagunk. “Hey, who's Kidd Summers?” Dawn asked. “Well you see, Kidd Summers is a spy we met back when me, Ash, Brock, May and Max went to Cameron Palace to solve the mystery of Mew, and um.... I... I can't say anymore....” Will said. He remembered about what happened to a Lucario he made friends with back when the gang went to save Ash's Pikachu and Will's Charmander. This Lucario died while saving a sacred place called the Tree of Beginning. Since then, Will had been grieving the loss of his old friend. “Oh, is this about Lucario, Will?” Ash would ask. “Lucario?” Dawn asked. “You see, Will and I made friends with a Lucario that belonged to a hero known as Sir Aaron. And that Lucario died saving a place called the Tree of Beginning, and I think Will has been grieving about the death of Lucario...” Ash explained. “Oh, that's so sad...” Dawn said. “I miss Lucario just as much as Will does....” Ash said. “But let's cheer things up! Will is the new Hero of Time now! How awesome is that?!” Ash said trying to cheer Will up. “Oh, it feels good...” Will said.







Chapter 4
Announcing the New Hero of Time and the Return of Mew

That night, Will was ready for the dubbing ceremony. He bowed down to Princess Zelda II and she grabbed the Master Sword from a table. “This sword, the Master Sword, also known as the Blade of Evil's Bane, was once used by the Hero of Time himself as well as another hero many years before him. It has been used to slay evil and those with evil hearts can never touch this sacred blade. By the blessings of the old gods and the Golden Goddesses, I now give you the Master Sword. It's yours now. Use it well.” Princess Zelda II said. “Thank you. Wow, this sword really belonged to Link? Amazing....” Will said. Suddenly, Will could sense something from the blade. “Why did you betray me?” A voice asked. It was the voice of Lucario. “Huh? Did you say something?” Will asked the maid. “No, I didn't say anything.” The maid said. Will looked around aimlessly around the main chamber wondering where the voice came from. “The grand ball will now begin. Please enjoy yourselves everyone!” Princess Zelda II said. The grand ball began with everyone dancing to elegant music. “Hey, my Pokemon shouldn't be missing this! Come on out, everyone!” Will called out. So, Will's Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon, Staraptor and Floatzel came out of their Poke Balls. “I'm letting my Pokemon out too!” Ash said. He called out his Torterra, Infernape, Staraptor, Gible and Buizel. “You come out too, everyone!” Dawn called out. And out came Buneary, Pachirisu, Mamoswine, Togekiss and Cyndaquil. “I'm calling out my Pokemon as well!” Brock said. He called out his Croagunk, Sudowoodo and Happiny. “I'm coming, guys!” Will said as he attempted to jump out of his chair. “Ah, you're not going anywhere! As the Hero of Time, you must sit down and watch everyone enjoy themselves.” The Maid would say. “Sit...?! Awwww.....” Will would moan. While the gang was having fun, all of their Pokemon was led by an Aipom to a hidden playroom. Outside, Kidd Summers began to spy on the suspicious Aipom. Meowth of Team Rocket wanted to see what Kidd was up to, but he fell off a tower and landed in the playroom. Kidd saw the whole thing and the Aipom was actually the Legendary Pokemon, Mew. “Well, well.... it's another Mew, huh?” Kidd said. “Weavile!” The two Weavile would say after popping up. “I need you two to tag Mew with this transmitter, and remember, tag it! Not attack it!” Kidd said. So, the two Weavile grabbed the transmitter and entered the playroom where the gang's Pokemon and Mew were. Pikachu and Charmander began to fight the two Weavile, and the two of them froze all of the Pokemon except for Pikachu, Charmander, Meowth and Mew. They even froze the door so no one could get in.
However, Dawn could hear the racket and found the playroom, but she could only see through a crack. She saw Pikachu, Charmander, Meowth and Mew fighting the two Weavile. However, Mew was disguised as a Meowth, but then it revealed its true form. “What's Pikachu and Charmander doing with two Meowth?” Dawn would wonder before Mew revealed itself. “Isn't that a Mew?” Dawn wondered. “AH! Why is Piplup frozen?!” Dawn shrieked. As the two Weavile were about to fire two Shadow Balls at the four Pokemon, Mew took the other three Pokemon and teleported to a different part of Hyrule Palace! “No way!” Dawn yelled. “Mew teleported!” Kidd said. Kidd then saw where the four Pokemon reappeared at. As Meowth, Pikachu and Charmander were falling, Mew turned into a Staraptor and flew off with the three Pokemon to the Tree of Time. Kidd saw the Pokemon fly off, disappointingly. “I really should have sent you two to obedience school” Kidd said to her two Weavile. Back in the playroom, Dawn broke into the room and all the Pokemon started yelling trying to tell Dawn what happened. “What just happened?!” Dawn said in a state of shock.





Chapter 5
The Reawakening of Lucario



Back in the main chamber, Will stared at the portrait of the Hero of Time. “It's hard to believe that this sword was used by Link. And now I'm holding it....” Will said. Suddenly, he heard Lucario's voice again. “Link!” Lucario yelled. “It's that voice again! Why does it sound so familiar....?” Will wondered. After the grand ball, Princess Zelda II had another announcement. “The Hero of Time here will be giving the signal for the fireworks.” Zelda II said. “Assume the pose of the Hero of Time!” The maid whispered to Will. “Pose?” Will asked. She pointed to the portrait of Link. “Oh...” Will got the message and he held his Hylian Shield and raised the Master Sword skyward. Then, the fireworks were being displayed in the Hyrule Palace Courtyard. Lucario's voice was heard again, and the Master Sword began to glow again, much like how it did thousands of years before. “I believed in you...” Lucario's voice rang out. “What's wrong?!” The maid asked. “There's something up with the Master Sword!” Will said while trying to hold the sword steadily. As the Master Sword's blade kept glowing, a huge energy blast shot out of the blade. The blast turned into the figure of Lucario. The Aura Pokemon was still blind and sensed Will's aura, mistaking it for Link's aura. “Link!” Lucario called as he jumped towards Will. Will still had the Master Sword in his right hand with his Hylian Shield in his left, standing in front of Lucario. “Why did you betray Princess Zelda?” Lucario asked. “Telepathy....” Will muttered. “Answer me!” Lucario yelled. “I don't know what you're talking about!” Will said. Lucario slowly opened his eyes and saw the frightened crowd and Will. He then ran off. “I don't believe this.... that was a Lucario! And what has just happened to me has happened to Ash before..... So that's the Lucario that was a student to Link. But what did he mean by “betray Princess Zelda?” Will wondered.





Chapter 6
Lucario: Awakened Pokemon in the future


When Lucario went to the Hyrule Palace Courtyard, he saw the fireworks. Why are they celebrating? Their kingdom is under attack! I need answers.... Lucario thought. He ran for a bit, until he saw a spot where he had a flashback. In the past, when Link was a young boy, and when Lucario was still a Riolu, Link allowed Lucario/Riolu to stay at Hyrule Palace. “Hey Riolu, I'll be teaching you about the power of the Triforce and aura. So this place will be your home. And soon you'll learn how to trust those two powers.” Link would say. Riolu nodded in response and Link showed Riolu a bedroom specially made for him. Back in the present, Lucario entered the same room and it was now an antique room. Lucario stared at the old antiques. “Lucario...” A voice said. Lucario looked back and it was Princess Zelda II. “Oh! Princess Zelda!” Lucario said while excited. “I'm afraid I'm not who you think I am.” Zelda II said disappointingly. Lucario's smile turned down. “You see, I am Princess Zelda II and Princess Zelda I was my ancestor” The princess explained. She approached Lucario and suddenly hugged Lucario. Lucario looked surprised and then looked up to Princess Zelda II. “You've been asleep for a long time, Lucario...” Zelda II said quietly. “Is it possible...?” Lucario wondered. “I only speak the truth” Zelda said. “But... I was in this room just a few days ago!” Lucario exclaimed.
“Please believe me. It may seem like days ago, but the reality is, you haven't walked into this palace for thousands of years!” Zelda II said. Lucario stared at the antiques, horrified to have learned that he had been sealed within the Master Sword for thousands of years.




Chapter 7
Lucario explains the past


In the throne room of Hyrule Palace, Will, Ash, Brock and Princess Zelda II listened to Lucario about what happened in the past. “According to the legend, you vanished during the battle. Can you explain what happened?” Zelda II asked. “There were two armies, one under the influence of the Dark Lord, Ganondorf and another led by the Hylian Soldiers. I tried to stop the fighting, but it was hopeless.” Lucario explained. “So then, how was Link able to bring peace?” Ash asked. “What?!” Lucario snapped. “It was said that the Hero of Time had sealed away Ganondorf into a world of eternal darkness, therefore ending the war and saving the Hyrule Kingdom.” Zelda II said. “Impossible!” Lucario protested. “Isn't that true?” Will asked. “Link... he fled and sealed me within the Master Sword” Lucario said. “In the legend, Link is a hero.” Ash said. “Could the legend really be wrong?” Brock wondered. Lucario stared at the Link portrait. “We'll find out more about the legend when the right time comes” Zelda II said. “Lucario, one thing hasn't changed; Hyrule Palace is still your home. Feel free to stay here for as long as you want” Zelda II said. “I am deeply grateful, your honor” Lucario would thank. “Lucario, I was curious. How come you thought I was Link?” Will asked. Lucario and Will then looked at the Link portrait. “Is it because my Hero's Clothes make me look like him?” Will asked. “No, the aura I sensed in you was completely identical to Link's.” Lucario said. Up on the above floor, Jessie, James and the Clone were spying on the group. “Oh? It's a Lucario... another one that can speak through telepathy!” The Clone said. “It seems that this one was also sealed for thousands of years like that other one we saw before” James said. “Excellent, another antique!” Jessie said. “Hey you guys!” A voice rang out. It was Dawn, running into the throne room with all of the gang's Pokemon. “What's up, Dawn?” Will asked. “You won't believe this, but I saw Mew!” Dawn said. “Mew?” Lucario asked. “Hey, isn't that a Lucario?” Dawn asked. “Yeah, this is the Lucario that was sealed within the Master Sword for thousands of years, but was just released” Brock explained. “Incredible!” Dawn said. “But I saw Mew disappear with Pikachu, Charmander and Meowth!” Dawn said. “No! Charmander disappeared?!” Will exclaimed. “Pikachu disappeared again?!” Ash exclaimed. “It's true. Mew was here.” Another voice called. It was Kidd Summers. “I was on the roof when saw Mew turn into a Staraptor! It disappeared with Pikachu, Charmander and Meowth!” Kidd explained. “But why would it do that?!” Will wondered. “It was probably playing.” The Maid said. “Mew has a tendency to show up here often and play with a bunch of old toys that used to belong to Link” Zelda II said. “It disappears with the toys, and is never seen again.” The Maid said. “Meowth? Never to be seen again?!” James said while worried. “We're the ones who should be stealing...” Jessie said. “....Did you miss the 'never to be seen again' part?” The Clone would ask sarcastically. “Does anyone know where my Pikachu could have disappeared to?” Ash would ask. “And what about my Charmander? We have to know where our friends disappeared to! I'm worried about Charmander!” Will said. So, Princess Zelda II took Ash, Will, Brock, Dawn and Lucario outside the throne room to the balcony.




Chapter 8
An Ancient Legend and an Old Evil



At the balcony, Princess Zelda II showed the gang the Tree of Time. “Although it may appear to be a giant tree, it's actually a rock formation.” Zelda II explained. “Before it fell to Ganondorf, it has been called the Tree of Time by the ancestors of my people, the Hylians. But after Ganondorf was sealed away, the Tree of Time returned to its natural state and it became a home to Mew.” Zelda II asked. “Your highness, who exactly is Ganondorf? And how did the war end?” Will asked. “Allow me to explain. Ganondorf was an evil man born from an ancient evil even before the Hyrule Kingdom was founded. His ultimate goal was to obtain the Triforce and use its power to dominate the world. And so, to help with his goal, he had taken many innocent Pokemon from their homes and had them possessed by his evil power made from the Triforce of Power. With all these Pokemon possessed, they served under Ganondorf as an army of limitless power.

The soldiers from our Kingdom and their Pokemon clashed with this possessed army until the Hero of Time came of age and fought Ganondorf while they clashed their swords. Link wasn't able to subdue the Dark Lord and he was mortally wounded. Many months later, the two armies were about to fight again and Hyrule Palace was caught between the two armies. So, Link went back to the Tree of Time to confront Ganondorf once last time. Link was said to have sealed away Ganondorf in a world of eternal darkness. And now we have learned that Link may have betrayed the Hyrule Kingdom and Lucario. It feels to me that the Tree of Time may be deserted, but I also feel an evil presence coming from the very same place, almost like as if.... Ganondorf is still alive...” Princess Zelda II explained. “Your highness, what exactly is the Triforce?” Will asked. “The Triforce is said to house the power and essence of the Hylian gods. The Triforce was left behind by the Golden Goddesses after they departed to the heavens shortly after the Pokemon universe was created by the Pokemon god, Arceus. The resting place of the Triforce was said to have been the Sacred Realm. The Triforce had three parts. Link was the wielder of the Triforce of Courage. My ancestor, Princess Zelda I wielded the Triforce of Wisdom and Ganondorf wielded the Triforce of Power. It is said that whoever collects all three pieces of the Triforce will have the power to ask for one wish. However, since the sealing of Ganondorf and the disappearance of Link and my ancestor, the Triforce has been shrouded within the shadows of history. The evil presence I've been feeling may have something to do with Ganondorf and the Triforce. In any case, you'll find Mew at the Tree of Time.” Zelda II explained. “But Mew is able to transform into any Pokemon, how will we know which Pokemon is Mew?” Dawn asked. “The legends claim that Lucario can sense the aura of all living things.” The Maid said. “Lucario, is it true that you can sense the aura of all living things?” Zelda II asked. “Yes.” Lucario said. “Then would you be able to lead Will and the others to the Tree of Time to search for Mew?” Zelda II asked. “If that is your wish, it would be my honor” Lucario said. “Hey guys.” A voice said. It was Kidd again. “I'm coming to the Tree of Time with you guys” Kidd said. “Really? Great!” Will said. “I came here to research about Mew's connection to the Tree of Time and how it has managed to stay there even when it was under the control of Ganondorf. You three know me; I really like learning about ancient things!” Kidd said. “And I can help you again!” Brock said. “That's fine with me, as long as you don't get in my way.” Kidd said. “Yes ma'am!” Brock said.




Will and Ash stared intently at the Tree of Time. “You know boys, I'm sure Pikachu and Charmander are having fun with Mew.” Dawn said. “We know, Dawn” Ash said. “But we can't help but worry. I'm especially concerned about the evil presence that Princess Zelda II has been sensing, and that our Pokemon could be right in the middle of it. We won't rest until we save Pikachu and Charmander....” Will said. The two boys continued staring at the Tree of Time.



Chapter 9
Will explains his troubled past to Lucario


Later, Lucario went back to the throne room and continued to stare at the Link portrait. When Will stepped into the room, Lucario jumped onto the ceiling and attempted to tackle Will while unaware that it was him. Will could sense Lucario and just before he tackled him, Will dodged the attack. “How did you know I was going to tackle you?” Lucario asked. “.....You'll find out soon enough.” Will said. Will looked intently at Lucario and thoughts of his old friend came rushing to him. “It's strange, but you remind of an old friend of mine. He was also a Lucario. He thought he was betrayed by his master, but it was only to ensure that he would not follow his master and share the same terrible fate... death. They were both close and this Lucario sacrificed his life to save a sacred place called the Tree of Beginning. I became close friends with this Lucario and ever since he died, I've been grieving his death......” Will said. Lucario saw tears dripping down Will's eyes as Will turned back. “Geez, it's hard to lose someone you cared about deeply...” Will said with his eyes watering. Will then left the throne room quietly. Lucario could sense Will's grief for the loss of his old friend. Poor Will.... he must have been through a lot... Lucario thought with a sad face.
