Max and Luke chapter two
Chapter 2
The sun was directly above head, shining through the trees. Luke, and Max were walking step by step hand in hand. They looked at each other, wide smiles filled their faces, the two were lost in each other. The time passed quickly as they continued toward Max's house, before long they were walking out the forest and into a small meadow. The soft green, grass waved In the cool breeze. Off in the distance was a small yellow house, the red roof sticking out of the bright blue sky.
"There it is!" Max hollered, pointing a small yellow structure standing against the horizon. He took off, running toward the house. The decorations became visible. The balloons, the streamers, Mom got everything. Thought Max, his eyes lit up almost filled with tears. "MOM! DAD! I'M HOME!" He continued running, his parents now looking his direction and waving.
Lucario followed suit after the boy. Before he could catch up he fell to the ground, and a net was upon him. "Ahahahaha" The similarly feminine voice rang in luck's ears. "finally we got a lucario." the giant "R" told Luke who it was. Her hair looked like a comet made of red. "I knew I would do way better without those two. Now, my little lucario what say you come willingly and I won't have to hurt you. If not," she pulled out a little box with a large red button on it and pressed the button lightly, "We-I will take you by force." She growled through her teeth as a strong bolt of electricity shot through Luke's spine stunning him. "So what will it be?" She looked down at the defenseless look on Lucario's face.
Max had finally made it back to his house, and straight into his mothers arms. had he not been up to her shoulders he would have reminded you of a little lost kid, finally reunited with his mom after being left alone in an isle of the supermarket. His tears rolled down his face, the dark spots on his mothers shirt were evident enough that he had missed her. Next his father, a stout young man, hair the same color as max's. his protruding cheek bones resting at the ends of his smile. "hey son, long time no see. How have you been?" his voice was the usual happy tone, and like Max's emotion it flowed as the man talked. A quick tackle later and Max was on top of his father, darkening the mans shirt with his tears.
"I missed you dad! I love you so much." The two lay there, until a brief, abrupt "Ahem" sounded from his fathers throught signaling Max to get up. Once on their feet Max's mother said what was on everyone's mind.
"So did you catch any pokemon?" She was so exited, she bounced up and down. Her eyes gleaming in anticipation. "I mean, What pokemon did you catch? I know that you caught some." She smiled.
"Yes ma'am" He started to explain when his dad interrupted
"Just show us." he laughed. Max always got ahead of himself, especially when it came to pokemon.
"Oh. Right" Max smiled, but his reddening cheeks betrayed it. "Alright guys, you can come out now." He spoke pushing the button on the pokeballs and threw them into the air, the red beams of light hitting the ground and several different species formed from them. A bulbasaur, an Evee, a bayleaf, a Charmandar, and finally geodude. All of them stretch and jump around, so full of life as they begin to play.
"And my favorite one, Lucario." Max beams as he looks around. The dog pokemon is nowhere to be found. "L-Luke?" Another scan of the yard and still no lucario. Max felt his heart sink. "LUCARIO!" Max's voice echoed through the meadow where he had just come from. Nothing. Not even the wind answered him.
"Wh-where could he have gone? He was just here." A state of panic swept over max, he called out for him, like a child for a long lost puppy. "Luke, come on, this isn't funny, get out here!" Max's mother came and rested her arm on max's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I'm sure you'll find him. But for now welcome home!" She didn't care! She just brushed it off, like crumbs off a table.
"No mom, I'm sorry, but we are not having this party until I find Lucario." He turned to set off in the direction he had come from when he saw the giant hot air balloon with a meowth face. That when he knew what had happened. "Team Rocket." Rage dripped from the words. He called his pokemon. He dealt with them before But now they went to far. "Bayleaf, Use razor leaf, take that balloon down." Max began running to where the balloon should fall. I'll get them yet! His clenched fists furiously moving back and forth as he ran. I'm coming Luke.
