Typically, you'd think getting Lucario back would have been an easy job. I'd just go and ask him back nicely...yeah, it wasn't that easy, I wish it had been like that...It would've spared a few cuts and bruises; but anyway, I did go to PTF and demanded his retrieval but I could tell they were not exactly joyful about it. If I recall it correctly, it was something like this:

The training center was huge itself and it consisted of 20 different arenas, gyms, health centers, skyscrapers and much more. Ignoring the fact that it took me 48 hours to drive all the way to the training center, the people were far from friendly. I arrived at the entrance and the guard took forever to open up the gates and was skeptical of letting me in when I told him what I came for, but I let it slide pass me. When I got to the main building where the reception was, I walked to the counter and introduced myself to the young lady behind the desk.

“Hi" I said.

“Hi, how can I help you?"

“My name is Andrew Drake and I'm here to retrieve my pokemon from training." As soon as I said this the lady showed me a serious frown as if she was annoyed by me.

“….and, why is it that you wish to do that" she said keeping a close eye on me.

“well, given the recent news and accusations this organization has been having I thought it was best to get my Pokemon back."

“I see" she responded. But instead of actually helping me she just stayed quiet staring at me. Literally, she just stood there for minutes.

“Um…well, can you get to it?"

“Get to what?" (wow seriously lady, I just told you what I came here for!) I though to myself

“umm, return me my pokemon?! We just spoke about it"

“ohhh yeah…well, I'm afraid I cant do that…" somehow she managed to smirk at me. It was surely and evil smile.

“what do you mean you cant do that?"

“you have to present the formal paperwork to withdrawal your pokemon."

“I have everything I need here!!" I slammed all the papers into the counter a little irritated by now. The lady scanned every single word in the documents at least twice until she looked back at me.

“Well, everything seems to be here….you´re very organized Mr. Drake"

“Thanks…I guess, can you now bring my Lucario back?!"

“Oh, you own a Lucario here?! I´ve heard he´s one of the “golden students"!. She said excited.

“Yes, I do, but thats not important! I really just want him back now please."

“Now now! I´ll just call our manager to let him know you´re here for him." (Finally it was about damn time…) I thought. The lady dialed the number on the phone and called several people. It took around 10 minutes per call and when she finally finished she hung up and looked me in the eye without uttering a single word. Again. She just stood there, watching me.

“So, is everything done now, I can take him?" I said excited.

“Well, I just spoke with our headmaster and he is not really willing to give up your Lucario…sorry, come back another time!". She seemed to be in a hustle to get me out.

“WHAT? What do you mean he´s “not willing to give him up"

“It means he wont return it." She smirked back at me again…I hated it.

“I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS! Why WONT HE?!?! He has NO right over him!!! NO one has right over him BUT ME!!!" This was starting to piss me off as you could imagine.

“Well calm down boy! The thing is that your pokemon is one of the best and we certainly do not like loosing our clients"

“AND DO YOU THINK I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR COMPANY AND THEIR CLIENTS?!?!?! NO.I.DO.NOT! I DEMAND TO SEE MY LUCARIO NOW!!! YOU CANT KEEP HIME LIKE THAT."

“MR. DRAKE! Im afraid you will have to exit our premises, there is nothing left for you to do here!!!" the lady yelled back

“FINE! IF YOU DONT RETURN HIM, I´LL GO GET IT MYSELF!!!" I started running down the hall to the training rooms.

“SECURITY""

I kept running as fast as I could as 3 guards started chasing me. Right and left I went moving my legs till I couldn't stop. I checked as much of the building as possible but I had no time left. The guards were right behind me and they seemed to multiply by the second. I stopped when I saw I was surrounded…I had lost. What happened next was just a blur as it happened too fast. What I can really remember is being thrown away from the property with a couple of bruises on my back. I couldn´t possibly go back there; they knew who I was and I knew they wouldn´t let me close to the gates anymore. This incident just made me more and more scared of the real agenda of the company. I had to get Lucario out, and I had to do it fast.

I went back home angrily and cursing. Another 48 run for me I guess…Anyway, as soon as I got home I went to my room and packed some stuff. My house was quite big even though I really didn´t need a lot of space. I had moved out of my parents house right after I got the money and I purchased one of those appartment/houses. Anyway, without getting sidetracked, I went into my room and grabbed some pocket knifes, medicines, and changed my clothes for something more “breaking in" friendly. I didn´t take any of my pokemon cause I refused to take them near PTF, not after my bad feelings towards them. Besides, It wasnt a suicide mission, I just had to cautiously break in, find Lucario and get out without being noticed, not hard I though. Obviously I was wrong, SO wrong...

This time it took me longer to get back. I parked my car about 10 miles away from PTF since they had people covering the nearby territory and they would recognize my car if I showed up in it. It took me a day of walking non-stop to get to my goal. As I got to the fortress I noticed an entrance through the air duct, which worked perfectly for my under the radar entrance. It wasn´t hard to enter really, no one saw me and in no time I was crawling inside the ducts over the rooms. Now, finding Lucario was harder since I had no freaking clue where he was and I was surely not gonna find out inside of some narrow tubes. I just kept taking some lefts and rights. I was all over the place. I even started to feel claustrophobic after a while...the air felt lacking and the smell of rusty metal was unbearable. Just when I was starting to get annoyed at the setting I was, I found an entrance to what seemed to me the control room where they stored all the cameras. I closely checked in and there was no one in the room, so naturally I destroyed the opening of the air duct and got in. To describe you the room a bit, it was filled with thousands and thousands of rack full of monitors showing pokemon training or people working. They definitely kept a good look on everything. At the end of the room there was this very high tech panel where lights and bottoms were shining. The touch screen showed some numbers and codes, which were the serial number of each pokemon entered into their training facilities. I looked in the search bar for Lucarios number. I remembered the digits ever since I got them. AF5623. I typed it on the search bar and several files popped up. “Training log January-March, Training log April-July, Anatomical measurements, species, routines and workout" and pretty much just a bunch of data files. I kept scrolling down until the page hit the bottom. At the end some huge red letters read the following: “CASE 33, ROOM 64 HIGH STATUS WITH BENEFITS FOR WORKERS, ALWAYS KEEP LOCKED". I had no clue of what that meant but after those word the rest of the file were unaccecable. Anyway I had exactly what I was looking for, Lucario was in room 64, which I just needed to pin point now to get to him. I searched again in the search bar and a map appeared this time. Room 64 was just a couple of rooms away. I closed down my tabs and deleted the browing and crawled back into the air duct, it was much safer.

I finally found room 64 and I was SHOCKED when I saw what I saw down there. I peeped through the railings of the air duct and spotted a cylindrical cage made out of glass. Inside the cage was my beloved Lucario. He had no space to move at all, he was just sitting there looking at the ground all depressed. I later saw a machine next to the cage. It was on and the wires were connected to the glass. I couldn´t read what the machine said on the screen but I did get a really sick feeling about it. I stopped staling and just broke into the room. “SLAM!" the whole entrance of the duck fell to the floor and broke into tiny pieces. This startled my Lucario more than the usual. He started growling and crying as the sound of the impact. I lowered myself down and as soon as I saw him I was horrified…

“What the hell have they done to you?!" I said as I saw a wounded, full of blood and gashes dog whimpering on himself. As I got closer I caught a look of what that machine was doing. On the screen there was some sort of graphic that read: “hyper libido hormone" and it wasn´t hard to understand that those wires connected to the cylindrical cage were showering Lucario with this substance.

I had no second thoughts when I disconnected the machine. Whatever it was doing, or what it meant was not important to me. As soon as I pulled the plugs out the alarm went off! The whole room became surrounded by flashing red lights and the siren went on and on. “shit!" I though as I had just thrown my cover down the drain…I took my a split second to recklessly drive a punch through the glass to break it. I guess the adrenaline had part to do with it as the glass shattered before my eyes and my Lucario saw me for the first time in months. He´s tears suddenly went away as a huge smile appeared.

“YOU CAME!?" he said with his telepathy. (Forgot to tell you that after getting so close and bonded he learned to communicate with me, which was to me, the coolest thing ever)

“Of course I came you dummy" I said teasingly as he suddenly jumped onto my arms and hugged my like his life depended on it. He started crying hysterically on my chest and I couldn't for the love of Arceus understand what he was saying to me. The siren was too loud and his thoughts were drowned in his crying. He never cried this much I'm front of anyone, let alone be so scared…this made me believe that he was truly suffering.

Our reunion was soon interrupted as the doors behind my back opened and the siren ceased. I looked back and there were at least 10 guys standing there with their guns out. “Shits about to get messy" I told them.

“Look who came back!? I guess someone didn´t get the message the first time didn´t he?"

“howdy boys, I´m impressed by your fast response, should we play a game of kill or win?" I said mockingly. At this point Lucario had wrapped his paws around my waist and stood scared behind me.

“The´re going to kill you master!!!! They will kill both of us!"

_“SHH! Dont worry I got this!" _ I tried my best to seem confident even though I had no fucking clue of what would happen next...

“BUT—“

“NO BUTS! Just grab on to me as tight as possible and no matter what happens do NOT let go of me!" I soon felt him squees my waist even more as he obeyed my commands.

“Use your tail and hand me the broken glass behind you". He was very weak, but he did as I told him and unnoticed he handed my a piece of glass.

“Master…what are we going to do?"

“Trust me and hold on"

“ALRIGHT ENOUGH WITH THIS PEST GET HIM BOYS!" yelled the head guard. The 10 or more huge hunks launched themselves at me all at once. As soon as I could I threw the glass at them and before they could stop themselves, 4 of them crashed agains it. The ice penetrated their skin and as it happened the others got distracted. Lucario handed me another shard and I kept trowing them, taking down several opponents. They began shooting at me and I started running as fast as I could. I went behind one of the guards who I had just injured and ironically he shielded me from the bullets!

“DONT LET HIM ESCAPE" yelled the head guard as I approached the exit. I was going out when I felt a bullet hit my shoulder. It didn't pierce into my skin, it just flew right past me but it was enough to take me down to the floor.

“MASTER! YOU´RE HURT!!!" yelled my companion

“STAY BACK LUCARIO!" I responded as I hold my arm. Its in those situation were you just do anything to get out of them. If it weren't for the adrenaline I would be dead already. I somehow managed to get up and punch a guard who attacked me after shooting. He hold me down but I hit his stomach without any real success. I had no choice but to grab my pocket knife with my good arm and stab his side body. He yelled as he let go of me and I took advantage of that moment to slice his arm and kick him away. As soon as he fell I grabbed his gun and shot two other guys who were coming at me. I ran back to Lucario who was in the corner near the exit in shock to what was happening. I grabbed his paw and lifted him up, giving him a piggy ride. My shoulder was bleeding and I was scared to death as I kept hearing the guards running behind me.

“MAKE A LEFT!" Said the jakal pokemon. I didn´t hesitate as I assumed he knew his way around. “TURN RIGHT! LEFT AGAIN" In no time we were out by a security exit and into the forest. I though we were quickly getting away when I looked back and saw some cars driving our way. There were another handful of guards heading towards us, but I didn't care anymore. I couldn´t stop now…there was no turning back. I kept moving, my feet sweeping through the trees, which helped us get advantage since the vehicles had more trouble dogging them than I had. We kept moving until we arrived at a cliff at the end of the forest. I immediately stopped upon watching the rocks head down 20 meters into the ocean.

“WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW!?!?!" said Lucario with a desperate tone.

“I-I….I DON´T KNOW…" I was really out of plans or ideas. Going back was not a choice that´s for sure. “Theres got to be a way around this! Lucario use your aura you can sense places and routes now!!!.

“……."

“LUCARIO!!! DO IT NOW THEY´LL CATCH ON!!!" I was PANICKING.

“I-I-…I CANT MASTER IM SORRY…"

“WHAT!?" Suddenly I felt a strong sting on my feed as I was being shot once again. I turned around and saw 4 different cars filled of guards all pointing their weapons at us. It was game over

“GAME OVER BRAT! YOU LOOSE! YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO GO NOW!" yelled one of the guys.

“Master….I´M SORRY THIS IS ALL MY FAULT" Lucario started crying in my back hysterically. I was speechless…"what on FUCKING EARTH did I got myself into" where the only words I could think.

“READY, SET, FIRE!!!" the guard yelled as his companions opened fire and pulled their triggers at me.

I had no choice but to jump off the cliff. I could feel the bullets pass right by me as I lifted my whole body and the dog´s one into the ocean. That moment I felt nothing…zero…The only thing I could think of was Lucario. I grabbed his paw as we fell into the water, he was the only thing I could focus on. We entered the waters and dived in. I waited a minute before surfacing back up, in fear they could see me and fire again. I dived in and swam across the ocean with Lucario still holding my hand. We reach the rocks and looked up. There was no one….those men were gone.

“YOU DID IT!! You saved me!" Said Lucario as he hugged me again,

“I wouldn´t be so sure. Lets get going we´re not safe here anymore…" I really didn´t wanted to be the buzz killer but we had to get the hell out of there soon. We swam to the shore and entered the swamps and the forest once again. We had escaped from PTF…
