A Trainer Named Lucas

Chapter 8: The Woman in Black

Introduction:

Hey everyone, so here is chapter 8 so with this new weekly schedule I wanna try to get a chapter out by at least Monday morning and maybe Wednesday Morning so if want times to expect chapters there it is. Again this all might change but I want to have a schedule because that is just the type of guy I am. With school and work being my top priority it definitely gives me less time to work so that's why I made it so one or two chapters a week. I'd rather have one good written chapter a week then a half baked rushed out a chapter every one or two days. Also, this story is also on Archive of Our Own (Ao3) so if that is a more preferred format for you it's on there as well. Nothing different just copied and pasted and updated at the same time as on this website. So really there isn't an advantage it's just personal preference. Also, another thing for updates I will always post on Reddit /r pokemonfanfiction when a new chapter is posted. Okay okay, no more interruptions but I just had a good amount to say but without further ado enjoy!

AND. HERE. WE. GO.

Chapter 8: The Woman in Black

COF: Lucas Diamond

11 am Saturday Morning

Lucas spent the night at Cheryl's house he finally got that home feeling that he missed. Sleeping in motels wasn't exactly the most comforting in the world so sleeping in an actual house was more than a nice welcome to him. That morning, Lucas ate breakfast and thanked Cherly for her hospitality. Cheryl said Lucas was welcomed anytime and waved as he left her house.

Lucas stepped into Eterna City, it looked bigger than it was on tv. Monferno stayed close to Lucas, he wasn't the biggest fan of huge areas.

"Hey buddy it's alright I'm right here let's go explore alright," Lucas said with a reassuring smile.

Monferno nodded and walked with him.

Lucas didn't know where to start, it was massive but something caught his eye and not in a good way. It was a Team Galactic base in the center of the city, seeing it just made Lucas sick to his stomach. He just stared at him with a glare on his face. He hated Team Galactic even more now that he had seen first hand how much fear they cause people. Lucas would bust right in and kick their asses out but there were those small trees in the way.

"Great, those again how the fuck am I supposed to get through," Lucas said kicking one.

"You'll need the hidden machine Cut," A woman said watching him kick the tree.

Lucas turned around to see a woman in black clothing smiling amusingly at him. He blushed a little and stopped kicking it and walked up to her.

"Heh, sorry about that I just can't stand those people in there," Lucas said.

"I understand I am not the biggest fan of them either, their morals and horrible treatment of pokemon upset me as well," The woman said.

"Exactly they treat pokemon like tools and it angers me to no end, every pokemon should be treated with respect I don't understand how they get away with this" Lucas said.
