Well, this is a bit embarrassing. Honestly, I hated the Lucario line for years. I was one of those people who was so fucking sick of seeing porn of it, found the idea of aura to be some snowflake bullshit, annoyed that he replaced Mewtwo in Brawl, and just overall thought he was the most overrated ugly design since it was revealed. I lumped Riolu in with his evolution and refused to use it through Gen 4, but when BW2 came out Cheren actually beat me because I walked in figuring he'd be a pushover extremely underleveled. Thanks Snivy, you useless prick. I'm not one to get upset over something like that, actually I like challenge in my games, but Cheren was that blushing faggot who bothered me around every corner through the original BW. Nope, I wasn't going to take shit from him of all trainers. I went to grab more Pokemon at the ranch, hoping for a Dunsparce to beat him with his own type, but instead I ran into this female Riolu. Normally, I would never use something I despise so much. This happened to be a matter of pride though, and I figured using her like a slave then ditching her after the Gym was the lesser evil so I put her onto my team. After a tiny bit of grinding, we headed back to the Gym and ripped Cheren's asshole wide open. Countering his Lillipup was bueno tier satisfying after the first defeat, I was happy to see the gal got the job done for me, but still figured I'd ditch her for something else when my team filled up. As we traveled towards Roxie I abused my lil Riolu more to train some of my other Pokemon up to snuff since I knew she was reliable like that. I grew fond of seeing her cute lil sprite bobbing around with whatever the hell those black things that I used to think were ears are, and found myself delaying her departure, making excuses to keep her on my team.
