- Ash: [after being headlocked by Lucario] Why did you do that?
- Lucario: You snuck up behind me; that is always a mistake.
- Ash: Hey Lucario, I'm really glad you're coming along to help me find Pikachu.
- Lucario: This Pikachu, are you its master?
- Ash: Master? Are you kidding? No Pikachu and I are best friends.
- Lucario: Friends?
- Ash: If one of your friends was lost, you'd wanna bring 'em too, wouldn't ya?
- Lucario: I don't have any friends and I don't want any.
- [leaves the room]
- Ash: [sarcastically] Nice attitude.
- Lucario: You humans are all alike! You can't be trusted!
- Ash: Are you saying you don't trust me?
- Lucario: You'd leave Pikachu without hesitating if you had to!
- Ash: There's no way I'd ever run out on Pikachu!
- Lucario: Humph... your word means nothing.
- [turns to go]
- Ash: [growls] How do we know Sir Aaron deserted the queen like you say? How about you tell us the real story, Lucario? You deserted Sir Aaron and the Queen didn't you?
- Lucario: [turns around angrily] WHAT DID YOU SAY?
- May: [crosses her arms at Ash] Ash, you're not helping!
- Ash: [to May, says calmly] I didn't start it.
- Lucario: What makes you think that Pikachu didn't run off and desert you cause it didn't want you for a master?
- [Starts walking off]
- Ash: [growls] Take it back!
- [He throws himself at Lucario, the two wrestle in the river until Lucario leaps out and walks off]
- May: [later that night as Ash is drying himself off] That was so uncalled for!
- Ash: So what? It shouldn't have said Pikachu left me.
- May: Well, you know, you said some pretty terrible things to Lucario too.
- Ash: [He looks down] ... yeah.
- Sir Aaron: [sits down and receives damage] Lucario, forgive me.
- Lucario: I do Master.
- Sir Aaron: Please understand. I had to seal you inside the staff. I knew if I didn't you'd follow me here and suffer the same fate.
- [places his gloves down]
- Sir Aaron: I only wish you could have known the real story.
- Lucario: [gasps] I understand!
- Sir Aaron: One day you will be released in a peaceful and more distant time. What would it be like? I wonder if-
- [takes damage and begins to disappear]
- Sir Aaron: I have no regrets. My journey has been good. I served a beautiful queen and you and I shared many adventures.
- [closes his eyes]
- Sir Aaron: Those memories will always be with me.
- Lucario: [begins to tear up] Master! If you could only hear me, I want to tell you how much you mean to me.
- Sir Aaron: Lucario, farewell.
- [Lucario gasps]
- Sir Aaron: [only his head remains] You were more to me than just my student. You are my closest friend.
- Lucario: I feel the same.
- Sir Aaron: Who knows? It could be... one day... we will see each other again.
- [a single tear falls]
- Sir Aaron: I hope so my friend.
- [finally disappears fully]
- Sir Aaron: [the Time Flower ends]
- Lucario: [cries] Aaron, my friend. I'm sorry I failed you.
- Ash: [holds Lucario's paw] That's not true. You proved you're a true Guardian of Aura like Sir Aaron.
- Pikachu: Pika.
- Lucario: Thank you, Ash.
- [Ash nods]
- Lucario: [Lucario takes massive damage]
- Ash: Lucario! Please, hang on! You can't leave us yet.
- Lucario: I have to go Ash. Aaron is waiting for me.
- [dissappears]
- Lucario: [Lucario and Aaron's spirits join together and fly up to the sky]
- Meowth: [to Pikachu while groaning and trying to hold him] I think it's about time you laid off the PokeBlocks!
