Chapter 6: Mentally Broken Lucario

                                    

                                          
Chespin was a bit startled by the question before he tilts his head and closes his eyes, trying to think hard about how he should answer that. "Hmm... Well, she is a very strict pokemon. She sometimes get angry at me every time I've done stupid things." He then looks down at the berry that Braixen has given to him before smiling. "But... I'm pretty happy that there is someone that's willing to protect me even from myself, I'm very glad that she is here with us." Pikachu and Bunnelby were surprised by the answer that Chespin has given to him, but they don't seem to be satisfied by it. "Are you sure you don't, well... like her or anything?" Bunnelby asked before Chespin snorted and answered. "Like her? Hmm... That is a good question. But... I highly doubt that she liked me back anyway." "But you do like her, don't you?" Pikachu asked before Chespin look down at the berry he was holding. "It's..." He suddenly sneezed loudly before wiping his snot and then continues. "It's complicated." "Well, we understand. Sorry if we bothered you." Pikachu said while his ears bent down a bit. "Neah it's okay guys, it's okay for us bros to have some bro talk." "You're right."
                          
The boys starts doing fist bump before the two leaves Chespin to enjoy his berry. "I wonder when this snow will die down." He mumbles before he is about to eat his berry, but then he heard a sound of irritation, as if someone is angry at something. He looked and saw it was Braixen who was stomping around while kicking the snow under her feet. "Huh? What's going on with her?" Chespin quickly got up and starts walking towards her while covering himself with the blanket that he has. "Out of everything! Uggh! Why?! Why?! Why?!" Braixen snarls while kicking the snow. "Hey Braixen!!" A familiar voice called before she turned around and saw it was Chespin approaching her. "What's wrong?! Are you alright?!" "Grrh! My stick! It breaks during our training session! Look!" She showed him her regular small stick that got snapped into two. "Oh my goodness... that stick, isn't it the—" "Yes! I really loved this stick so much! This is so frustrating!!" She keeps kicking the snow under her feet which made him worried. He then walks to her before hugging her leg to stop her which made her startled.
                          
"Please, calm down. I can't stand seeing someone I care starts to get angry." Chespin said but Braixen's anger was boiling, she threw him off of her leg and made him fall into the snow. "Leave me alone!!" She snarled before stomping away. He got up and saw her stomping away from him before he sighs. "I have to talk to Pancham." He said before starts running off to find him. Pancham was with Serena and he was walking back and forth, worrying about what just happened. "Oh no oh no oh no..." "Pancham!!" He looked over and a saw Chespin running towards him. "Chespin? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be resting?" "I know I should, but you have to tell me what happened to Braixen and how did her stick snapped." Pancham nodded before he explained everything, Chespin was a bit shocked by this before he looked down. "This is bad... She really wants to receive that title while still having that branch with her..." "I know... it's my fault for using that Stone Edge... You gotta help me man!!" Pancham said while holding Chespin's shoulders. "What?! Me?!" "Yeah! You and Braixen are awfully close and I know nobody knew her better than you!"
                          
Chespin shook his head. "I can't, even I tried to stop her, but she kicked me away." Pancham didn't knew it would go downhill that much, he starts scratching his head out of frustration. "Oh no... what should I do...?" Chespin closes his eyes while thinking about this for a bit. "Maybe you can try giving her a new stick. That way, she can try and move on." He suggested before Pancham grabs his shoulders again. "That's it! Good idea! Please use your grass type power to make one!" He begged. "I'll try then." Chespin closes his eyes and starts using his power to make a new stick. While at it, he was thinking about Braixen so that this stick will remind him of her. A few minutes later, he finally finished. But instead of a stick, he made a branch that was not what he supposed to make. "Ummm... will this work?" Chespin asked before handing  it over to Pancham. "Well... I hope it does though. Thanks dude! I really owe you a lot!" "No problem. Now I should be heading back before Clemont starts looking for me." Chespin started walking down the path full of trees to the campsite.
                          
"Oh Braixen... I hope you can move on..." Chespin said while wiping his snot. "I'm afraid you don't have the rights to be worried for her." A mysterious voice said that made Chespin startled. "Wh-Who's that?!" He shouted while looking around. He saw a pokemon walking out of a tree, it was a Lucario who was holding a glowing bone on his paw. "Wh-Who are you?! What do you want from me?!" He shouted. "Stop being dense, I know that little Fennekin even before she got caught." Chespin knew the Lucario was talking about Braixen before glaring at him. "What do you want from her?" "Heh, well... I was someone who loves her but she always refuses my love. Now that I've evolved and grew stronger, she won't be rfusing me anytime soon." "So Braixen refuses to be with you? Then just move on and look for someone else! You're just wasting your time." The words made Lucario snapped before he Extreme Speed towards Chespin and bangs his head down to the ground using his bone. "Grah!!" Chespin was trying to get up but his head got stomped down under Lucario's foot.
                          
"Listen here you little prick. The two of us will be together forever; she won't be able to refuse my coolness now that I've evolved. We'll stay in a very comfy home, have kids and nobody can say otherwise." Lucario stated which made Chespin even more irritated. "What's with this Lucario?! He's creppy." Chespin though but the flu that he suffers made him slowly getting weaker. "M-My body... I can't..." Lucario was about to hit Chespin with his bone but then he heard someone shouting. "CHESPIN!!!" He then brought his foot off of Chespin before walking away. "Don't go forgetting what I'm about to tell you, don't get your hopes up that she'll accept you." He then fled the area while Chespin lifted his head up and saw Clemont running towards him before he fainted because of the sickness he suffers.
