The Kidnapped Riolu

One night a disturbance was happening. A small explosion occurred at a lab and some men with a Golem and a Riolu were running away from it. A scientist and some guards came out of the building. "The RX1 is a priceless research tool, get Riolu back at once" said the scientist. It was clear that Riolu was kept at the lab for research. Golem used hyper beam to distract the guards and scientists and Riolu ran away with the men. It was then a van turned up to pick up the men and Riolu. Golem was returned and Riolu was placed in the back of the van while the men entered the front.

But Riolu's aura made it hear what the men at the front were saying. The truth was the men wanted Riolu for them-selves as well and they lied to it that they would take it back to its real home again. Riolu was angry with the betrayal and it used aura sphere to escape from the van and the men; this Riolu could use aura sphere like Ash's Lucario did back when he was a Riolu. The men stopped the van and their leader ordered them to start searching for Riolu at once; this man was greedy for Riolu's power.

It was at this time that the gang were travelling through some big forests to get to their next destination. But then Ash suddenly stopped. "I feel a power of aura here" he said. "Really where?" asked Dawn. Before her question could be answered, the Riolu came out of the bushes. It was injured on the arm because of the escape. "Hey a Riolu" said Ash; he was surprised to see one in the wild. Ash saw that Riolu and went over to it to help, but Riolu knocked his hands away. "I'm only going to help you Riolu" said Ash, calmly. Riolu used aura sphere on Ash to keep him away. "That Riolu knows aura sphere like your Lucario did when he was a Riolu Ash" said Brock. "That means that Riolu is special too" said Ash. Ash stood up and formed an orb of aura in his hands. Riolu saw that and realised that Ash can use aura. "See Riolu will you let me help you now?" said Ash.

Before Riolu could reply a boy in a cape came up to Riolu. "Found you" he said. Riolu ran off. "Wait Riolu" said the boy, chasing after it. Ash felt that something wasn't right and followed. Ash came to some bushes when suddenly the boy pulled him into the bushes. "Shhh" he said. Riolu was sitting on a branch in a tree. "Is Riolu yours?" asked Dawn; she and the others had caught up. "No and it's not a wild pokemon either," said the boy "I'm here to help Riolu get back home again". "Are you saying Riolu was stolen by somebody?" asked Ash.

Before Ash could get an answer, everyone heard a noise of some vans coming up. It was Hunter J's vehicles and some men came out at once. One of them sent out a Crobat and the Crobat knocked Riolu out of the tree. "Those men are after Riolu" said Brock. "Oh yeah, well we won't let them" said Ash. He took out his pokedex. "Tomo get your strongest pokemon from Prof Oak's lab too; since we are up against J again, we'll need some of our strongest pokemon". Tomo understood and the brothers started to switch out their pokemon. By now an aura sphere had shot out from the bushes and hit the Crobat. It was from Riolu; despite being hurt it wasn't going to let the men take it. The other men sent out their own Crobats to capture Riolu. But than an aura sphere came out of nowhere and stopped the Crobats in their tracks. It was from Lucario; Ash and Tomo had some of their pokemon out to help Riolu. Ash had Pikachu, Lucario and Venomoth out, and Tomo had Growlithe, Granbull and Magcargo. Ash ordered Pikachu to use swift and Venomoth to use string shot. Pikachu's swift attack hit all the Crobats and then Venomoth tied them up tight with string shot. Then Growlithe, Magcargo and Granbull both used dig to trap the men in a hole. This was a plan to help Riolu get away from J's men. Lucario went over to Riolu and held it in his arms. 'My trainer and his friends are here to help you' he said to Riolu, in his language. Riolu felt happy and safe with its evolved-form Lucario and calmed down at once. Everyone ran off to get away from J's men.
