Not hearing an answer from him, Lucas closed his pendant and looked at Ishan saying, "If you don't feel like talking about it, that's fine, we all have something we'd rather not talk about.", before finishing his drink and throwing the cup in a nearby trashcan.
Afterwards he walked up a bit and called out, "Riolu!", prompting Riolu to turn from the party, "Rio?", and rush up to Lucas, Lucia also came up to him asking, "What's up Lucas?", "I'm a little tired, so I'm gonna go get us a room. Riolu, would you like to come with me or stay here at the party with Lu?", Lucas asked, Riolu immediatly jumped into Lucas' arms, "Rio!", he exclaimed while Lucas started laughing a bit saying, "Haha, alright Riolu, so Lucia, I'll send Pidgey here to let you know what the number is, okay?", "Of course, I'll get some supplies for tommorow so I'll be awhile.", Lucia replied before Lucas told her, "Also, can you take the chance to call home and tell them what's happened, I wanted to myself but...", "It's alright, I'll call them, you just be careful while your out there.", Lucia said as she watched Lucas walk out the door, she was a little worried about him being out there alone, but she felt he could handle it.
After the door closed, Lucia, with Pichu on her shoulder, went up to the phones and dialed her phone number while she brought the receiver up to her ear, eventually her father showed up on the screen saying, "Hey Lucia, about time one of you called, we were getting kinda worried.", "Hey dad, sorry we weren't in touch but stuff happens that makes it slip my mind while Luke's got enough on his mind as it is.", Lucia replied, "I know, he's worried about that Riolu of his, you know a lot of people in town are starting to miss him, he's a good kid after all, helping some of the folks whenever they needed it and all.", Lucia's father said, prompting a slight grin on Lucia's face, "I expected as much, well they're both fine, guess what, Lucas already got his first badge and Riolu's finally got Aura Sphere down!", she exclaimed, her father then looked surprised as he said, "What!? Riolu used Aura Sphere, are you serious!?", Lucia started laughing as her father removed the surprised look from his face before saying, "Well, I'm sure his parents'll be excited to hear the news, but Lucia, you do realise how much danger this puts Lucas in, right?", "I know, but I promised his parents I'd look after him, even if I can only do so much, I want to help him out as much as I can, but we've even made some friends here that I think can help him out a little.", Lucia responded with a concerned look, "Well, if anyone can help Lucas, it's you Lucia, whether you two've made some new friends or not, your the one who promised to take care of him.", Lucia's dad told her, "I know, I haven't forgotten that. Alright then, I guess I'll talk to you again when we reach Cerulean, bye.", she said hastly, her father then smirked and said, "Alright Lucia, bye, and keep your guard up now that Riolu's mastered Aura Sphere.", "Of course.", Lucia replied before hanging up causing the screen to go blank, she then got up saying, "I just hope Lucas doesn't run into trouble out there.", "Pichuuuu.", Pichu replied in a concerned tone.
