Lucario's POV

well, she is looking a little better

DJ: *tries to get up*

...

DJ: *eyes turn bright white & collapses back into place*

she's still weak

Shinx: what can we do to make her not weak?

there's no food. No apples, berries, just straight up leaves

Riolu: *looks down & goes down tube*

I think he's got somethin'

Jason: like what?

I'll have to follow to see what

Pichu: *jumps down tube*

well, I'm going *jumps down tube & follows Riolu in there*

Riolu: *stays cautious & looks around*

*hides behind a tree & hides energy*

Riolu: there's gotta be something here...I know it...

Poochyena: *runs by Lucario with a berry*

*quietly* the Poochyena must have most of the berries & such

Riolu: *spots Poochyena & fires aura sphere*

*quietly* seriously?

Poochyena: *puts berry down & uses dark pulse*

*fires aura sphere at Poochyena*

Poochyena: *dodges & growls*

we need this for our friend. Maybe 3 more will do

Poochyena: *runs off, leaving the berry*

care to give chase, Riolu?

Riolu: *runs off after Poochyena*

*goes back to base* ok, we figured it out, the Poochyena are doing this. Riolu is giving chase & to retrieve more berries

Riley: great, but you should know, Poochyena & Mightyena go in packs

I'll go after them in a bit. *tosses berry to Riley* Give this to DJ. We'll be back with more

Riley: ok

*goes to forest & searches* I know they're around here somewhere

*a pack of Mightyena run by Lucario*

*follows them secretly*

Riolu: *is surrounded by both packs of Poochyena & Mightyena*

*jumps up & lands beside Riolu* take them down*fires aura sphere at a Mightyena*

Mightyena: *dodges & uses dark pulse*

*counters with dark pulse*

*the pack of Poochyena attack Riolu*

I guess I'm up against all the Mightyena

Pack of Mightyena: *growl at Lucario*

which one of you leads this pack?

*the 7 Mightyena turn to the one that has a scar on one eye*

*pulls swords off back* so you're the one

Scarred Mightyena: who else do you think it is?

I challenge you for your food stock

S.Mightyena: & if I decline...?

you die

S.Mightyena: fair enough *gets up*

*puts swords on back*

S.Mightyena: *uses shadow ball*

*teleports & uses mega punch from behind*

S.Mightyena: *bites fist & throws across the forest*

*bounces off a tree & uses mega punch*

S.Mightyena: *dodges easily*

grr

S.Mightyena: *uses hyper beam*

oh sht *jumps back*

*hyper beam hits Lucario hard*

*falls down*

S.Mightyena: & stay down too... * uses shadow ball*

*breathes heavily* wh-what are you...?

S.Mightyena: that remains secret...

now...what? You...gonna...kill...me?

S.Mightyena: I was just thinking about doing just that *starts up hyper beam*

*lifts head up & drops again* I've...failed...

Riolu: *uses a quick aura sphere*

S.Mightyena: *stumbles back a bit* impossible!

*gets up weakly* oh...it...is...

S.Mightyena: *fires hyper beam at Lucario*

Riolu: *blocks for Lucario's protection*

h-holy...sht *firs a quick aura sphere at S.Mightyena*

S.Mightyena: *looks over to one of the Mightyena* he'll show you...

*follows Mightyena*

Mightyena: *ears are down but walks into the tree & jumps up*

Mightyena: this person has plenty of food. We usually take the berries. Take what you want & go back to your team in the base with your almost-perished-2nd-in-command friend of yours... *leaves the tree*
