"Oh my god this line is so fucking longgggg!"Brandongroaned as he brought his hands behind his head and groaned into the sunny clear afternoon. It was at last the day of the big fighting tournament, fighters from all around the world, Pokémon and humans, some look old, old, many very young, a little older thenBrandon, but young all the same. Tundra and Twilight had come as his cheerleaders as the put, having called ahead of time; the human was allowed to bring his friends or family into his fighting room. The large dome, which was built over six years ago held close to a hundred different changing rooms that would be used for each fighter though already there were fights going on, so that there would be no shortage when it came for someone needing them.Brandonwore the same suit that was given by his sister Alice, the two since the fight for the Gym badge, told stories of their pasts and what they had done, though there was one story he did not wish to tell, two if you counted what his father did to him; that was how their mother died. He just couldn't bring himself to relive that past, he already did in his nightmares, and those were bad enough. No, for now, his mind was sent on the Pokémon Human Fighting Tournament, one that he was going to win the prize money for his growing family.

"You need to claim downBrandon." Tundra told him while holding is shoulders and rubbing them causing him to sigh softly. Both hers and Twilights belly had grown a bit, not that much for Twilight since her belly was always round,Brandongot a slap in the head for saying that out loud. But Tundra's was easily seen growing. "I know you antis about this fighting thing, but you need to claim yourself."

"I know...I know," he patted her claw as he looked up at her and then Twilight. "I just...this money could help us out in the long run you know?"

"Yeah it could." Twilight answered with a nod. "I wish I could join as well," Twilight answered with a nod. "I mean, I have grown stronger. And there no way some of these humans can beat a flying type!"

"There are rules you know,"Brandonsated as he looked to her. "If a Pokémon joins and they can fly, they can not fly in battle, only four attacks can be used, like for me, I can use Aura Spare, Aura Force, and Aura Sword. Since I don't have a forth move, if I'm knocked out, I can use that extra space to get back in the fight, but only once."

"That sucks," Twilight muttered asBrandonlaughed slightly.

"Yeah it does, and I'm sure you would've kicked their asses anyway." More cheers where heard as another fight had come to a end, the line moving a bit faster, but not fast enough.

"Well, well, well...long time no seeBrandon."

The human's body tensed and became as cold as ice, every hair on his neck stood on end, his eyes growing wide as he heard the voice of someone he never thought he would hear again. Slowly his head craned to the left to see if by any chance that whoever was talking, was not who he thought it was; but oh was it ever. Standing before him was a very large Sceptile, it was larger then most of his own kind, when almost all would be a height of five foot seven, this one was easily six foot eight. The leaves on the arms seemed to be much sharper then he last remembered, his eyes pricing yellow as he gave a snarling smile at the human who baked away slightly. The red line along his belly looked as red as blood, the long leaf behind his back serving as a tail.Brandonbreathing quickened, his hands becoming sweaty, his eyes darting along his body blinking them open and closed as he prayed this was not real; but it was.

"Brandon?" Tundra asked looking at him. "What's wrong, do you know him?"

"Oh we know each other much well...don't we Brandon?" he grinned crossing his arms again. "You know...I remember those scars I gave you being a little deeper."

"You?!" Twilight snarled at once moving ahead of her mate. "You were the one that caused these scars?!"

"Oh yes," the Pokémon answered, though speaking in the human tongue since he was taught so as a young Treeco. "And I was the one to first take that little flesh of bones ass cherry." He snickered licking his claws slightly. "Remember how I made you beg me to fuck you harder, and you cried and cried and begged and begged! You were nothing more then a slut to us, a whore to be beaten when we got bored."

"You monster," growled Tundra as she got ready to attack as the Pokémon raised a claw finger.

"Uh, uh, uh," he said wagging the finger back and forth. "Fighting before you are sighed up that you are even here, or when not in the arena can caused the one who started it to be kicked out." he then smiled wider. "Even the fighter's mates." Tundra growled deepened even more asBrandonjust stood transfixed on him as the Pokémon smiled. "Well? Are you going to introduce me to your mates, or do I have to bring one other man out first?"

"A...another?" whisperedBrandonand then backed away more as someone else from his past came into view.

The man stood close to Sceptile, his long brown hair slowly growing white of age, as well as the bread that he grew under his nose and along his chin. An eye patches over his left eye, hiding a scar he once gotten in a fight long ago. His only good eye was as red as blood. Though he was much older thenBrandon, he still had the body of a young man, fit and toned.

"So his name wasBrandonhuh?"Brandonflinched at his rough voice as he shook his head and backed away more. "Hrm should've asked before slitting his mother's throat." Both dragons Pokémon looked toBrandonas his head was leaning down, his body then shaking, his fist clutched. "I mean look at this piece of shit, not even looking at us like he is..."Brandonlost it then. Screaming he ran toward them his eyes wide with rage as something strong grabbed him. He didn't look back at all, screaming like a mad man as the grey arms held him tightly back as Alice walked up beside Mewtwo to try and claim her brother, when that didn't work Tundra and Twilight came as well, trying to hold him back as Alice glared at the two men. The other fighters didn't give too much what was going on, with all the noise; they barely heard what was being said.

"You two better leave right now or I'll deal with you myself!"Alicewarned in a deep voice. "Since we don't have proof of what you've done, I won't call the cops."

"My, myAlice, how you've grown!" Sceptile laughed clapping his hands together. "I' so gald you remember dear old Uncle Eldor!"

"You are no longer someone I would call family Eldor,"Alicespat on the ground before him. "Last warning, leave!"

"Tsk, whatever, be sure to tell the ass bitch that we'll be fighting him sooner or later!" and with that they turned and started to walk away.

"I'll kill you both!" screamedBrandonat the top of his lungs. "I'll fucking cut your throats and then crush your skulls beneath my feet! By the name of Arceus, I.WILL.KILL.YOU!"

It took a while, but at last with the help of Mewtwo's powers, they were able to claimBrandondown, but he was so broken, so warned, that he was nothing but a crying mess. Somehow he held his rage long enough to get pass into the fighting dome, and once in his room with the others; he just broke down. Over and over again between sobs he would mutter that he would kill them, speaking to himself how he would do it, if he would make the pain short or very long. Tundra and Twilight tried their best to get their mate to stop talking such evil things, but when they thought back to what those men did, they would look at each other and they would know, they had to pay for their dues.

"I say we letBrandonkill them," Mewtwo spoke for the first time breaking the quiet save forBrandon's rambles. "After all they put him though, the pain they given him; I say we releaseBrandonon them."

"Yes but do you forget," Tundra growled poking a claw finger in his chest. "If he kills someone, for any reason, he will be put to jail; our hatchlings will have to see their father's though a jail glass window!"

"I could easily make everyone here forget what they saw Tundra," he answered with the roll of his eye. "I mean, I have done it many, many times before."

"But they still feel as if they remember something right?" she questioned as Mewtwo sighed.

"Yes that is true, but few only truly remember."

"But there is that chance that someone will!" she growled again. "I don't care, he will not kill them, I won't allow it!"

"Oh?" mused Mewtwo. "And what if this human goes and kills another mother, or in fact that damn Eldor goes and rapes more kids? Do you want that to happen?!"

"Well no I..."

"Then they have to be killed you stupid bitch!"

"Enough! Both of you!" the two turned to seeAlicestanding beside her brother glaring at them hard. This is no way to try and help someone by telling them to kill someone Mewtwo, yes I know they should be killed for what they've done, but murder is not the answer!"

"I hate to say it," Twilight spoke up then. "But maybe Mewtwo is right...maybe we should just let what happens happen, maybe Bandon should just kill them, and then make whoever saw...forget."

"Twilight..." the green dragon gasped as she went on.

"You know as well as I do that some nights he is tormented by the nightmares he gets for what the Pokémon of his past did, and what this human men did...maybe him killing them...will cleanse his soul of these nightmares."

Tundra looked back atBrandon, his head down not looking at them as she went over and hugged him to her body.

"If you want him to kill them...then you'll have to go though me," she gave them each a death glare. "I don't care what you think is best, this is not the way to do it!"

Twilight and Mewtwo turned to each other, they didn't want to kill these two, Mewtwo easily could, but they knew, this was something Brandon had to do; this was a fight Brandon had to fight. Though Tundra did somewhat agree with them, that these two needed to be killed, she was not about to risk ruining the human's life just for some pride.

"What I don't understand," Twilight went on. "Why wasBrandonso scared of Eldor and not of Blaze?" she looked down at her mate as he was still looking down, his eyes now being seen as they were closed twitching under his eyelids. "I mean...Blaze did rape him as well right?"

"I saw the mind of Eldor for a few moments," Mewtwo answered sitting down beside Alice who was still holdingBrandon's hand. "Like he said, those scars were given toBrandonby him, and that the fact thatBrandonlooked up to him the most, it's only makes sense thatBrandonwould fear him the most."

"Well we can't letBrandonfight while he is in this sort of sate!"Alicespoke looking around.

"I will fight..." they all looked down to seeBrandonstanding up. "I will fight...and I will kill them both..."

"Brandon..." Tundra gasped as his body shook.

"They took everything from me!" he screamed and punched a wall so hard it dented. "I will kill them!"

"That is not what our Master taught us Brandon."

Everyone's head jerked to the door, to see a Pokémon standing there. His voice was deep and rough, a scar over his right eye and over his muzzle; the eye closed. His left eye opened to show that his eyes were red.Brandoneyes grew wide as he looked to the Pokémon and then brought a fist to his palm and bowed slightly as the others looked to him in confusion.

"M...Master Lucario!" he said while bowing. "What are you doing here?" the mixture of yellow blue and black walked in as he placed a spiked paw on Brandon shoulder, making him look up at one of his old teachers in the way of fighting and Aura. His soften eyes madeBrandonlook away, knowing that he had heard what the human had vowed.

"I have come to join this fighting as well." He answered. "I also heard that you have two mates, each with child, I am happy for you." He turned to Tundra and Twilight. "I am guessing you two are it?" they both nodded as he looked back toBrandon. "What did our Master tell us beforeBrandon? What did he always tell us about killing?"

"But Master...they..."

"Answer the question my student." He demanded in a stern voice asBrandonflinched while everyone else watched asBrandonstruggled to say.

"That no life should be killed by our hands or paws." The Lucario nodded while makingBrandonlook at him.

"Do you wish to shame our Master's death by killing the human and Pokémon?"

"Shame him...never, but..."

"I understand the pain you feelBrandon, I still remember what you told us when you and Tundra first came to our home, almost to the point of death since you had nothing to eat."Alice, Mewtwo and Twilight looked fromBrandonto Tundra who didn't look at them. "You have grown powerful, this is true. But you still lack the will to use your powers for good."

"What do you mean?!"Brandonnearly screamed. "I have used my powers and skill for good, I helped many lives!"

"But these also causing harms to the one you are saving them from."Brandonlooked away as Lucario sighed. "Brandon, I wish for you to tell your friends and family on how you came to be my student, maybe you telling the story will allow you to think more clearly, and I would like to offer you a two, two choices." He raised a furry finger. "The first, you can kill these human and Pokémon with the skill our Master taught us, how to crush someone neck by making it look like it was done by mistake. If you do this, I will revoke you as my student, and never will you be allowed to step foot on the grave of our Master."Brandonlooked up slightly shocked. "Or...you let them live, I will find the proof you need to prove these two caused harm to you, I will give them to the police the moment I see that you let them live. These proofs will make sure they pay for their crimes, they will never harm another life again." He turned but then stopped and went inside the fur of his chest pulling out a small blue box and handing it to Brandon. "A gift from our Master he wished to give you before he passed on." And then, like that; he was gone.

After Lucario left,Brandonsat back on the bed, his arms between his legs, hanging loosely as he thought back, Tundra sitting beside him once more, rubbing his shoulder softly.

"Everyone else sit down, I don't plan on taking any breaks when telling this story." They all listened, Mewtwo grabbing some extra chairs for himself andAliceas Twilight took the sit on the other side ofBrandon.

---Eight Years Ago---

Brandonwas holding a small little green Pokémon in his arms, walking though the lush forest as he struggled himself to keep going. Once more they lost a fight, losing the last bit of money they had, and also eating the last of their food. Tundra was but a small Axew, fighting to stay awake with her new master. They had only been together for close to a month, but she had grown found of the human, she was not like her old master, who would beat her every time she lost a battle.Brandonwould just tell her that she did the best that she could, and he was never mad at her. Now she wished he would at least hit her, because of her, they had lost all their money for food. She ate the last bit because he wished her to, and now, he looked so weak that he was going to fall over; which he did. He tripped on a loose rock and fell forward, the Pokémon crying out as she rolled away from him, before standing back up and running to his side. He was crying then, not because of the pain in his ankle, but because he knew he couldn't go on.

"Just go Tundra..." he wept rubbing his face. "You're better off without me." The small Pokémon gave a loud cry and shook her head; she was going to stay, no matter what.Brandonlooked to her, seeing how she was not moving, he gave a small smile, and his eyes dropping slightly, before darkness took him over.

He woke up later feeling cozy and warm, a wet cloth placed over his head as he groaned and slowly opened his eyes. He heard the sound of water being dipped into as he looked over to see a Pokémon of blue, black and yellow, looking like a dog in a way tending to his body.

"Ah you are awake."Brandonwas shock; a Pokémon speaking in the human tongue was very rare indeed at the time. "How do you feel?"

"M...my foot still hurts a bit,"

"That is understandable," the rough voice of the Pokémon said. "You broke it, but my master was able to heal it enough that you will be able to walk."

"Who are you...where am I?" the Pokémon dabbed the cloth on his neck and then scar filled chest.

"My name is Lucario," he answered. "Where you are, you are within my master's home, and training area."

"What?"Brandonasked in a slight daze.

"My master has study the power of what my kind, the Lucarios can do, the power of the Aura is a powerful tool and very hard to master. My kind can easily master it for we are born with it. But other Pokémon are a little harder, humans are even harder. It seems only a few humans can ever truly learn to wield such power; you can too it seems."

"I can...?" askedBrandonin confusion. "Wait...what is Aura?"

"Aura is the life source of the world," Lucario answered nodding to himself. "It is the wind, the water, the fire, the soul of every living thing. Without Aura, there is no life." AsBrandonlistened, he then noticed the emptiness of Tundra not being there.

"Wait! Where is Tundra?!"

"Claim yourself young one," Lucario placed a paw on his chest. "Your friend is find, she is with my master, eating and regaining her strength."

"O...oh..."

"Would you like to go see her now?"

"Yes please!"

After helpingBrandonto his feet, they slowly made there way though the one floor home into the main room of the house. The floor was made of bamboo, a mat in the center remindingBrandonof a Pokémon battle arena. Looking around he found Tundra at the far end eating a small apple. As she nibbled around the edges, since this was her eighth one, she looked up and dropped it, giving a happy cry she ran over and jumped in Brandon's arm as he laughed and held her close.

"She really cares for you young one." Brandon looked up as Lucario bowed on one knee his head down as Tundra looked to the owner of the voice. Brandon was surprised that it belonged to a women, she wore a long robe, deep blue with the marking of Ying and Yang on each sleeves as well as on the chest where her breast were. Her long blond hair tied in a bud behind her head. Her green eyes sparkling as she smiled at the young trainer holding his Pokémon.

"Master," Lucario spoke while keeping his head down. "I hope we did not disturb your meditation."

"No Lucario, I was done a while ago," the Pokémon nodded and stood up looking to Brandon.

"The human has awoken and wished to see his Pokémon; shall I start with tonight dinner?"

"If you wish to Lucario, in any case, I would like to speak to Brandon and Tundra alone."

"As you wish, with your leave?" the human gave a small nod of her head as the Pokémon bowed his head and left out the room.

"Come Brandon, sit with me." She turned and sat on the mat as Brandon followed, sitting in front of her and crossing his legs as Tundra sat on his lap. "How are you feeling?"

"A bit better, thank you for helping us."

"Do not thank me," she waved her hand. "Lucario found you and carried you here, he asked that I tend to your wounds and allow you to stay for the night. I would've anyway, but it was cute seeing Lucario be so worried about a human other then myself and my clan." She looked atBrandonagain, her eyes tracing over his body. "Scars can tell stories youngBrandon, and by the many you hold, you ether are a brave young boy who have battled many foes...or have met an ungrateful fate."Brandonlooked away, holding his arms and trying to hide the scars. "Do not feel bad by them," her hand grasped his arm softly as her finger traced over the scars on his arm only. Tundra had told me much of how you have gotten them, from what you told her I mean. It was not your fault."

"But...my mom..."

"Yes she also told me this," the women spoke. "But you did not know what would happen when you fought this man."Brandondidn't say anything for a moment and then looked up.

"You said Tundra told you...how did she tell you?"

"Like I said, she told me. Ever since I was a child I was raised by many Pokémon, my first langue is not of human tongue, but of Pokémon tongue." Tundra started to speak to her as the women nodded. "Tundra here wanted to tell you that she is grateful that you allowed her to come with you, that she considers you a great friend and wishes to be stronger for you."Brandonlooked down at the Pokémon in his lap as she looked up and nodded.

"She is not the only one..."Brandonwhispered.

"You wish to become stronger as well?" she asked. "But you are already strong."

"No I'm not!"Brandonsaid slapping his hand on the mat. "If I was...I could've saved my mother, I could've won us more money so that me or Tundra wouldn't go hungry!" He looked up at the human before him. "Lucario told me that my Aura is strong and that your clan was trained to use the Aura as well; right?"

"This is true..."Brandonthen moved Tundra and then got on his knees and held his hands up to his chest.

"Then please!" he begged and bowed, his forehead on the ground. "Allow me to train under you as well, train me to become stronger so that I may help those around me and keep my friends safe from harms way!"

"This path you want to take with meBrandon...is a very long and hard path."

"I understand!"Brandonalmost screamed. "Please...train me!" the women thought for a moment, tapping her chin before smiling and nodded.

"Alright...but under a few rules."Brandonsmiled and looked up at her. "I will train you in body and soul, I will shape you into a strong young man, but from now on you must call me and Lucario Master."

"Why Lucario if I may ask...Master." She smiled, she was glad he was already committed to this.

"I wish for him to train you in the way of the Aura, it is about time that he moves from being a student, to a Master."

"As you wish Master,"Brandonbowed his head as he sat back down next to Tundra.

"Also, you will stay here, this place shall be you home until you have passed the tests, and one last rule." She leaned closer to him, her eyes narrowing. "You will never kill the ones who have harmed you with these skills I am about to show you, do you understand? I see the anger, the pain, and the sorrow within your eyes. Tundra told me how you killed your father, while under my training and afterward, you shall kill no one else; unless the need is too great to over turn."

"But..."

"If you can not agree to this, then by tomorrow you may leave, for I will not teach you." and with that she sat back fully straight, hands folded. It took a while; in fact almost an hour beforeBrandonsighed and nodded his head.

"Deal."

As the years went on, bothBrandonand Tundra trained under the watchful eyes of their Masters;Brandonmuch harder then Tundra since she could not use the power of the Aura. The days he would spend ether trainer under his female Master, or his Lucario Master, at night, he would stay up far later and study from the old books, learning the old ways of fighting. Every time he would trainer under the human Master, she would wear this weird blue bracelet with wordsBrandoncould not understand, he had asked her what they mean, and she answered very simply.

"Keep reading and studying, it is better that you learn on your own, then me just telling you. It's meaning will be even better." He did not ask her what it said again after that. When he first started to train, she had him do moves almost like yoga, to train his body for the upcoming trails. Lucario would do the same thing, but train his mind with quizzes and hard questions. At first he hated them, but he found out that he was rewarded with a keener mind, able to see the flow in his words and so called truth with each passing day. Tundra had evolved into a much stronger Pokémon at this time, both Masters wished to test the two in a fighting duel. So far they had not learned a single fighting move from the two teachers, so they went on what they knew.Brandonfound out that fighting a Pokémon was much harder then fighting a human, and he couldn't bring himself to fight Tundra, she was his friend.

"You must learn to fight even your closest friends Brandon," Lucario spoke to him. "What if they turn on you on day?"

"I'm sorry Master," he answered looking down. "But...I just can't..."

"No, you won't, can't and won't are to different things, you won't harm Tundra because you know of her past, not can't."

Years went by, soonBrandonwas now fifteen and very strong. Tundra had once more evolved and was now as she was today. The two had gotten stronger and nowBrandonwas sparing with her as if she was his next foe. She won every match, until one day, the force of one of his punches sent her skidding backwards. He looked down, his hands glowing a light blue as his eyes widened as Lucario laughed and clapped.

"You have done it!" he cried in bliss. "You have unlocked your inner Aura, you have used Aura Push!"

When they were not training, they were like a little family, joking around and having good old laughs. These were happier times for the young human back then, but still, at nights he would be tormented by his past walking up slightly crying. Lucario always came in, and helped him to claim down, in a way;Brandonlooked up at the Pokémon like a father. One day while sitting outside looking at the stars, Lucario came up and stood next to him.

"How goes your studies student?" he asked asBrandonsighed.

"They go well Master," he answered. "Just...clearing the old head." Lucario nodded to him andBrandonwent on. "Master...May I speak to you?"

"You may."

"This may sound...strange...by I consider you like a father to me."

"Oh?" asked Lucario looking down at him asBrandonnodded.

"Yeah...you see, even before my mother's death...my father was never really close to me, and afterward...well you know what happened then. You on the other hand," he turned to the Pokémon. "Every time I feel down or sick, beside Tundra you are the first to come to me and make sure I am fine. Why do you?" Lucario laughed slightly as he sat down besideBrandon.

"We are alike then," he answered. "You see, I have been with my Master for many, many years. I have yet to have a mate or to even been mated, when I saw you, holding Tundra all those years ago, I felt a longing for you. I was so worry that Master wouldn't agree to allow you to stay, but when she did I was glad." He turned toBrandon. "I consider you my son, I have always wished to pass my teaching onto my own blood, but I will never have that," he shook his head softly but graspedBrandon's shoulders. "But you...I don't care if you are a human, if you will allow me, I wish to call you son."

"And I call you father,"Brandongave a small smile as the two held each other in a soft hug, when they broke away Lucario smirked.

"Don't think I'm going to go easy on you my son," already taking to the name. "You still need to be put in shape."

"Wouldn't have it any other way...father."

Another year pasted, the human Master didn't mind that Brandon and Lucario considered each other father and son, she kind of liked it; it was cute in a way. ButBrandonnoticed something of her. She barely trained along side Brandon, her eyes slowly losing the shine they once had. That's when he found out she was dying. It grieved Brandon to watch the women who watched and train over him slowly dying before him. Though he still trained, he was training so that she would have something to do. But on one fateful night, it happened. The three woke up to found her dead in her bed. All three wept for their lost, and that's when Lucario found a letter left to them, one for all to read, and two for Brandon and Lucario. Lucario read his fast and nodded to himself, throwing the letter in an open fire.Brandonreading his, it sated that she could no longer teach him, that she had done all she could. And also, the man who killed his mother was her last student.Brandonnearly roared in rage, but kept on reading, saying that she was sorry for not telling him, that she didn't want him to run off on his own. As a way of saying sorry, she gave them a house in a city not to far from where they were, and her spot in the fighting match that was coming up for the prize money to help kick off their new life. He also read that if he were to ever fight the man, to say three words to him that she wrote down, he looked at them and read a warning sigh underneath it to not say these words out loud to himself. He took the warning to heart and did the same what Lucario did and threw it in the fire.

They buried her outside and planted a tree over her chest. Lucario asking to be alone with his fallen Master, that when he was ready, he would find Brandon and Tundra, Brandon didn't want to at first, but after a while, went with Tundra watching the Lucario stand there, looking at the grave.

---Present day---

The room was quiet no one spoke a wordBrandonlooking at the box he was given by his father Lucario. Slowly opening it, he found the bracelet his human Master wore. Looking at it, he placed it over his wrist and brought it up to the light, reading the letters now for the first time in three to four years.

"Power comes from within." He said out loud before dropping his arm down. He now knew what he had to do; he now knew what needed to be done. Looking up at the TV in the room, he watched as the man trained before him took down another human fighter, while cheering to himself as men and women came to take the fallen bleeding fighter off the stage. He needed to be stopped, andBrandonwas going to do just that.
