(Soon, Riolu stops to see the alley is blocked.)
(Mew and the others come to a stop to see Riolu looking rather frightened, and scared.)
Misty: "The poor thing, it must be scared."
(Misty says, feeling concerned.)
Mew: "Maybe it's nervous to be around humans. Maybe it has something to do with the Lucario."
(Mew says.)
Brock: "Mew, maybe you can have your Pokemon talk to Riolu, it might help."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "I think it's a good idea."
(Mew says.)
(Suddenly, something begins to appear in front of them.)
(The fog begins to get thicker around them, frightening the group.)
Misty: "What's going on?"
(Misty asks.)
Tomo: "Where did this fog come from?"
(Tomo asks.)
(Brock soon notices something in front of them.)
Brock: "Uh guys, I think I know what's going on."
(Mew and the others turn their heads to see a Pokemon known as Lucario is standing before them.)
(Yet this one has a different color scheme.)
(It has the same colors as the Riolu, even has the same orange color eyes.)
Misty: "Is that… the Ghost of Lucario…"
(Misty asks, frightened.)
Mew: "And that Lucario is a Shiny Pokemon."
(Mew says.)
(Just then, the Pokemon's spirit lets out a powerful growl.)
(and begins to use a powerful dark type attack and fire at them.)
(Everyone quickly dodge the attack and panic.)
(Then the Pokemon's ghost attacks them with the same attack.)
(Everyone panics and screams and runs away in fear.)
(Mew screams.)
Mew: "Let's get out of here!"
Misty: "Why is that Pokemon attacking us?!"
(Misty panics.)
Tomo: "Run!"
(Tomo screams.)
(Soon enough, the groups are able to reach the Pokemon House.)
(Mew quickly knocks on the door in a panic.)
(and soon enough the door opens to reveal Reina.)
Reina: "Oh Mew, everyone. Welcome… back…"
(Reina says, but notices the frightened and tired looks on their faces.)
(Confused, Reina asks.)
Reina: "What happened?"
Brock: "It… it's a long… story,"
(Brock says, tired.)
Misty: "We… we were… attacked…"
(Misty panics.)
(Reina is confused about it, so she allows Mew and the others inside the Pokemon House.)
(They soon have some tea and some snacks.)
Rena: "You saw Lucario's spirit in town and the orphaned Riolu?"
(Rena asks, a little surprised.)
Misty: "We did, and it attacked us,"
(Misty says.)
Mew: "I think it attacked us because we were too close to the little Riolu."
(Mew says.)
Reina: "That seems to be the case. People who have been seen and attacked by the spirit have also seen the baby orphaned Riolu,"
(Reina says.)
Brock: "What happened?"
(Brock asks.)
Reina: "The Spirit of Lucario was a Shiny Lucario that came to the area four months ago and lives in the mountains. Sadly, there was a landslide and Lucario was caught in it. However, we found out that it had a place to live and it had a baby. Many have tried to find the little Riolu, but every time someone gets close to it or the Pokemon tower where Lucario is resting in peace, its spirit scares everyone away."
(Reina says.)
Misty: "That sounds sad. That poor Riolu,"
(Misty says.)
(Mew crosses her arms and begins to think of something.)
Brock: "What is it, Mew?"
(Brock asks.)
Mew: "I don't know, something about this Lucario seems off to me. I mean, I never heard of Lucario using Nightshade before."
(Mew says.)
(Brock soon agrees.)
Brock: "You're right. I never heard of Lucario using Nightshade."
Misty: "Maybe because it's a ghost so it can use other attacks."
(Misty suggests.)
Mew: "That can't be it. There has to be another explanation for it. And the only way to figure out what's going on, is to find Riolu."
(Mew says.)
(Misty soon notices.)
Misty: "Hey Mew, what happened to Hanter?"
(Mew and the others notice that Haunter isn't among them anymore.)
Mew: "Hey, where did Haunter go?"
(Mew asks.)
Tomo: "Axew is not here either,"
(Tomo says.)
Brock: "Maybe Haunter and Axew already went to Pokemon Tower,"
(Brock says.)
Mew: "We gotta find them."
(Mew says.)
(Meanwhile, Haunter and Axew are already at Pokemon Tower.)
(and see that no one is even around.)
Axew: "Axew Axew Axew?" (I wonder what happened to that Lucario?)
(Axew asks.)
Haunter: "Haunter Haunter Haunter," (Not sure, but I don't think that Pokemon is really a spirit.)
(Haunter says.)
(Then floats to the tower.)
Haunter: "Haunter." (Let's go.)
(Axew simply agrees and walks inside the tower.)
(They both walk inside and begin to explore the trail through the tower and head up to the upper floor.)
(Haunter and Axew continue to make their way through the tower and climb to the upper floor.)
(Suddenly, they begin to hear the sounds of weeping.)
Axew: "Ew?" (What's that?)
(Axew wonders.)
Haunter: "Haunter Haunter Haunt," (I think we're not the only ones here.)
(Haunter says.)
(Haunter and Axew soon reach the next floor.)
(and it's the one where Axew is familiar with.)
(This is the floor where his mother's grave is.)
(They both begin walking around and on the other side of the floor.)
(close to the staircase, is the Riolu that is weeping and has its paws covering its eyes.)
(The little Riolu is sitting on the floor and is very sad.)
(A little surprised, Axew says.)
Axew: "Ew Axew." (It's the Riolu from before.)
Haunter: "Haunter Haunter?" (Wonder why it's here?)
(Haunter questions.)
(Axew looks to see Riolu is standing at a grave.)
(Then ends up with a flashback of how sad he was when his mother died.)
(To Axew, maybe the little Riolu feels the same way.)
(Axew then begins to make his way towards the Riolu.)
(The little Riolu is so in despair that it doesn't know Axew is secretly advancing to it.)
(Just then, Axew calmly calls out.)
Axew: "Axew?" (Riolu?)
(The Riolu becomes startled and turns its head to see the Axew before her.)
(The little Riolu softly asks.)
Riolu: "Ri Riolu?" (Who… who are you?)
Axew: "Axew. Ew Ew Axew. Ew Axew?" (I'm Axew. It's very nice to meet you. Can we talk?)
(Axew replies.)
(The Little Riolu feels a little reluctant about this.)
(but seeing how nice Riolu is, it decides to give Axew a chance.)
