Lukari's POV

I stirred a little as I groaned, hearing the sound of a heart monitor while regaining my consciousness, before I began to open my eyes.

Background noises were beginning to sound clearer instead of being muffled.

When I was fully conscious, I slowly sat up before rubbing my eyes.

I felt pain circulate through me again but it was numbed this time, thanks to the medical stuff the doctors use to numb pain.

I looked out the window and noticed that it was still around nighttime.

"Mn? What happened...to me?" I mumbled.

I looked over and saw Makoto sitting in a chair as she had a worried look on her face.

When she noticed me, she got up and flew over to me before asking if I was okay.

I told her I'm okay before Makoto explained how she got me here.

"So...What's your name, miss?" Makoto asked me.

I suddenly realized that Makoto doesn't recognize me and thinks I'm someone else.

I chuckled a bit.

"Mako, it's me. Lukari..." I said as I looked at her in those beautiful blue eyes.

"If it's you, then tell me how we met." Makoto says as she looks at me in disbelief.

"I first met you when I was a riolu. You were injured when I happened to find you. I took you in my house and treated the wound for you.

While you were recovering from the injury, we told each other about ourselves and what we're interested in and what we have in common." I said.

Makoto stared at me in shock.

"Lukari?! Is that really you?!?! Wow! You look so different and taller! And you're a shiny Zoroark!" Makoto exclaimed before she putted my paw on her face.

"Your paw is bigger than my face! This is incredible." Makoto says, her voice muffled from my paw.

I blushed a little as I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly with my other paw.

Mako feels really soft for a small legendary pokémon like her.

Like as if I was petting a adorable Litten.

Mako parted from my paw before looking at me.

"Is this what you really look like?" Mako asked as she gently floated down and sat on my lap.

I shook my head.

"I only look like this on the night of the first full moon. I'm still a shiny Lucario on the inside." I answered.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Mako asked.

"I'm forgetful a lot. It's pretty lucky for me that I still remember you and how we first met." I sighed as I looked at the ceiling before looking back at Makoto.

"I haven't forgotten about the fact that you're a hybrid, I just never seen you like this before." Mako says as she looked at me.

I sweat dropped a little.

"I get that a lot." I said.

Mako chuckled a little bit after I said that.

"What's it feel like after you've transformed into a shiny Zoroark?" Mako questioned.

"It feels great once your body gets used to it." I replied. "But, it's really painful when you go under transformation. When I revert back into a shiny Lucario, it doesn't hurt at all."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Mako says as she lowered her head a bit, her eyes filled with pity.

"It's alright. My body's still trying to get used to this." I responded.

"I still think it's really cool that you're a hybrid and you turn into your counterpart on the night of the first full moon though.

It's like you're the pokémon version of a werewolf! Only you still remember everything and who you are." Mako says as she grew excited.

"I know. It's kinda like that." I said before chuckling a bit.
