A little love story between Lucario and Braixen

The first Shadow Warrior....

Asriel laughed as he and Orron walked out of school that Tuesday, only for one reason though. "SPRING BREAK!! WAHOOO!!" Orron yelled, getting several students to look at them, but both Pokemon could have cared less; two weeks of vacation time were so worth it! "Remember, come to my house around five; my mom is taking us to the gym today to work out," Asriel told the Zoroark, who nodded in response. "Alright; I will be there! Team Defender to the rescue!" Orron said before, using his illusions, transformed into a Tranquil, taking off to his house.

Asriel just chuckled as he walked home; he could still remember how Orron had reacted when he showed him his Mark, it being a silver moon. "What the heck is this? WHY did I have a dream of Arceus?" Orron had asked, freaking out in the school library. Asriel then went to explain everything that he knew, and for him to be on the lookout for anyone else with a Mark. "Okay; I will," Orron had said.

'I wonder who the next Light Warrior is going to be?' Asriel thought to himself as he walked, crossing the street quickly. "Asriel!" a voice yelled, making the Lucario turn around to see Flae running to him, her necklace jumping as her sneakers slapped the sidewalk. "Hey," Asriel greeted when she was right next to him, making sure to keep a small distance between them; when Flae got excited about something like she was then, the air around her heated up significantly.  "You will not believe what just happened!" Flae squealed as she dropped her backpack,  making Asriel stop as she took off her jacket; it may be spring time, but it still was pretty chilly. "Nightmare just asked me out!!!" the flareon all but sang as she started to stow away her jacket.

Asriel couldn't tell what it was, but when Flae crouched, he thought he saw something black on her back, just under her t=shirt, the lines in it making him freeze. "Wasp!" Asriel yelled, moving to her back as the flareon started to freak out, making him feel guilty slightly, but he had to know. Moving quickly, Asriel brushed his paw against her shirt, making the cloth move down: Asriel could barely believe what he saw. A silver cross was right between her shoulder blades, the sunlight making it reflect brightly into his eyes.

"Okay, it is off," Asriel told her, getting her to calm down. "Thank you," Flae said as she put her backpack on. "So, when did Nightmare ask you out?" Asriel asked her as they crossed the street again. "He asked me during homeroom; did you not hear him?" Flae asked him, looking surprised. "Nope; beats by Green," Asriel replied; Flae nodded in response, understanding what he meant. "He said he was going to pick me up tomorrow at eight; I'm so excited!" Flae cried, doing a little spin on her feet, getting Asriel to chuckle. "Alright; I hope you two have a good time," Asriel replied with a smile, knowing that he and Brittney would have to come up with a shipping name between the two; he and Brittney already had one themselves.

When they got to Asriel's street, the Lucario asked Flae where it was she lived. "Oh, I live at 1213 Zapdos Lane," Flae responded. "Alright; have a good rest of your day!" Asriel told her before they parted ways. "Asriel!" Brittney called, waving to him from her porch. "Hey Brittney," Asriel said as he walked up to her, the braixen letting him in; his mom would be busy at the hospital tonight. "Mom left money to order pizza if you want to; she is going on a Girls Night tonight," Brittney told him as they went to the kitchen. "1000 poke?!?!" Asriel cried when he counted, completely shocked at the amount. "Exactly what I did. She may be our boss, but the bakery is seriously busy most of the week everywhere," Brittney explained with a laugh. "Huh; no wonder why I got a bonus already," Asriel said, clapping his paws together when the realization hit him. "Yeah; tell me about it," Brittney laughed as she got her house phone.

After placing an order for two pepperoni pizzas, Asriel asked her if she knew anyone who could take them to the Gym. "I can; I got my license today," Brittney replied, showing him the card to prove it. "When did you get it?" Asriel asked her, surprised. "Earlier today; the Tesla in the driveway is mine," Brittney told him. Since that was settled, Asriel asked her where could they study at. "I need help in math; it is like a foreign language I swear!" Asriel groaned as Brittney chuckled. "You are telling me; all those names in Pokeology we have to know? Talk about a headache," Brittney replied, naming the one subject she was bad at before telling him in the Study.

"Where is it?" Asriel asked, not seeing any stairs or anything that would lead to it. "Oh, it is underground," Brittney responded, tapping her foot to emphasize the point. "Why would you want to build underground? Are your parents Doomsday preppers or something?" Asriel joked. "Yes, actually. We have five different generator rooms, for two years of food stored away, two rooms devoted to growing and processing food, ten bedrooms, a library, two caverns for storing water with purification systems, eight pigs that we will bring down with us from an uncle of mine as well as five chickens from him as well, air filtration system with a external G.P.I (Ground Pressure Indicator) and a internal grey water recycling system, black water processor, 13140 MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat), AMFMXM (silent radio communication system), a medical room and A LOT more still being added." Brittney fired off, making Asriel get pretty close to blacking out. "Okay; I was joking, but okay," Asriel replied, his mind broken slightly.

While they waited, Nightmare and Orron arrived, making Asriel add another pizza to their order. "So, what is the plan for our training?" Orron asked as they all sat down in Brittney's living room. "I think we need to see where it is we stand currently when it comes to combat before we actually start training, to see our strengths and weaknesses," Asriel replied, everyone, nodding in response. "By the way, where is Lesira?" Orron asked, suddenly noticing the Riolu's disappearance. "Oh, he had karate practice today," Asriel explained.

Right as the door opened. "Someone say my name?" Leirsa asked, causing everyone in the room to laugh. "How did practice go?" Asriel asked his brother while he went to go get him some pizza. "Well, I think. I am sure everyone learned something today," Leirsa smiled, getting Asriel to groan; everyone else looked at him weird, but Leirsa looked innocent. "At our home town, Leirsa was the captain of the martial arts team; every day after practice, he would send his students limping, sometimes even with a broken arm or leg," Asriel explained, getting a cry of protest from his brother. "It's not my fault he put up a lousy guard!" Leirsa huffed. Asriel just shook his head as a knock came from the door. "Pizza delivery," the voice called. Getting a bill from the kitchen, Asriel answered the door to see a Luxray there, his face bringing a name to Asriel's mind.

"Oh hey, Justin! What's up?" Asriel asked him casually. "Nothing much; your total is $27.46," Justin replied, his tone bored. Asriel would occasionally partner with Asriel to complete a Pokeology project. Asriel knew that he really did not like him, but he never did anything to bully him or anything of the sort. Giving him a fifty, Asirel told him he could keep the change as a tip. When Asriel felt his paw brush against the Luxray's, Asriel felt a shock in his mind, his Mark suddenly burning. A steely glint appeared in his scarlet eyes, but it was gone so fast that Asriel thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

"Have a good day, Asriel," Justin smirked before stalking away without a second glance. Asriel just stood there, frozen as his mind wheeled with what just happened. "SHIT!!" Asriel swore savagely, stomping his way to the kitchen, the rest following silently.

"I just met a Shadow Warrior," Asriel announced.

HOLY ARCEUS! Asriel has just met a Shadow Warrior! And he knows where Brittney lives! OMG OMG OMG OMG! What will happen next? Will Asriel flip his lid? Will an attack occur? Will they finish the PIZZA?!?!?! Stay reading to find out!

P.S: OMG (looks at word count)  1483 words! This has to be the longest chapter yet! YAY! I was super distracted today because of it; the chapter would not leave my mind all day today! WTF? I nearly cut off a finger (I am in culinary school right now, FYI)!
