Catching up

Only he knew how much it hurt while missing his partner, it was his very first pokemon which places it in another level in his heart and how much they interacted together, they barely left their side a friendship of years, struggling together.

It pained him that something could happen to her. And that just made him not feel at ease all these years. Yes he got things to distract himself but he couldn't move forward until he knew how his precious partner was. And these thoughts made him slightly distant sometimes.

But today his partner came back and with a few surprises and it looked so cool, with tears in his face he moved forward and hugged Lucario who had the same expression, they just a different bond. Something that they build within the years they spent together.

So this re-encounter was definitely emotional. Lucario cried and kept making sounds while she patted her owner's back. She too had missed him. Although she was in the cacoon her perception was able to recognize the presence of her owner looking at it and waiting. All this time.

It was a sentimental reunion. And after breaking up they saw each other changed through the years and smirked at each other while Altair voiced out in a deep and soothing voice.

''You have evolved Lucario you became even more beautiful!''

Lucario earing her owner's compliment became proud and puffed her chest while nodding with a big smile. Proud of her owner's compliment.

Trying to probe into Lucario's health he used his skill.

'' Waw'' Altair couldn't help and voice out while reading Lucario's new information.

First of all, Potential went up by 2 Ranks from Red to Gold and even getting a half star. Altair knows that it is actually very precious an item that can boost both the Potential and Aptitude of a pokemon. Although the level didn't grow by much the amount of Moves that it learned was insane.

A grand total of 10 new moves. But then counting the years that it stayed in the cacoon it's to be expected. He toughed that his pokemon would get out all dry and all skin and bones but it actually was in a peak condition, you could feel pressure from it, and just by looking you would know that this Lucario wasn't something that anyone would dare to cause problems to or anger.

The sisters who were relatively close came running and their surprises when looking at Lucario evident. After all, they could recognize it even if it changed form and grew by a lot.

And even for the family of Lucarios, her height had reached a marvelous 173 Cm, just relating that normal Lucarios normally reach 120 cm so his Lucario definitely was on the tall side.

But it only added to the charm and the girls who saw this came and hugged Lucario all around. Although they didn't interact that with Riolu as much as Altair they still thought it was an important family member and quite loved the company of the little shiny canine. And they missed the little thing a lot.

The beautiful reunion kept going for the rest of the day, with a big table of food all around and they just enjoyed each other's company on this day. Not worrying about anything else. Just some great family time.

The next day both Lucario and Altair resumed their good routine together. Running first thing in the morning and then having a light spar.

After that Altair decided to train Lucario's moves. There were a lot of new moves that should be trained and that's what he wanted to perfect in the next few weeks.

In the first week, he decided to just train the Moves that were from her type, the Fighting moves.

Respectively Aura sphere, Counter, Detect, Reversal, Force Palm, and Power-Up Punch except for Final Gambit that was a suicidal move that caused its user to faint and deal damage equal to the remaining health that it had this was a last resort move.

But Power-Up Punch was a great move after all for each punch that the user lands the Attack of the user will raise for each punch, this move would help in long-drawn battles or slow enemies.

Detect is a move that protects the user from both damage and effects like paralysis, poison things like that so it is useful if mastered and if it could be used in a split second, the rest were in combat moves so the more fluidly it could use the moves the better.

So they began their grind.

Spending the next two months training the new moves while in their meditation time Lucario would just train Calm mind which will raise the user Special Attack and Special Defense. This move was a beautiful move since Lucario preferred long-range Moves but since its moves didn't allow it to fight like that until now.

Lucario was a well rounded pokemon after all although from its Nature there was a decrease in Attack that was being compensated by buffs like Power-up Punch and Work Up that would boost its attack. So definitely it was a heavy hitter coupled with her feints and all she was definitely not average in close combat, coupled with the fact that it wasn't even where its potential was on it definitely is a scary thought. And this just made Altair anticipate for the future he can't help and see how his Lucario will keep growing in the future.
