Daluca's ear twitched at the sound of the bag opening, and he gave a grumble of annoyance as he opened his eyes. "...Who's there...?" He questioned in a low tone, mostly from just waking up.

Daluca could be seen a little further in the cave, on the ground, leaning against a wall with his arms crossed. His eyes were closed, but he was definitely asleep..his breathing quiet and body somewhat relaxed.

Daluca was still asleep, however, his ear twitched from the howling. He couldn't tell what pokemon it was just from a howl..but be was able to know something was coming.

That little clearing led to a cave in the side of a cliff face. The Lucario was for sure home, mostly because of the sounds of quiet snoring coming from inside. Even Alpha pokemon need rest..even though most were full of energy.

And Daluca would be on the prowl once more..doing his usual routes around the forest. But for now, the Lucario needed to rest..or at least meditate. But..finding an Aloha Pokemon, especially in modern times, is a very rare thing!

"He has already learned his lesson." Daluca responded, before slowly glancing to said bushes. "..He was only protecting his human, this time. So I will let it slide..however, if they do challenge me again, they will not be given mercy."

Daluca soon glared into the forest, eyes flashing brightly with a red glow. "...Silence yourselves. They did not want to harm us. If you do not realize that, then leave my forest." He said in a cold tone, before slowly turning to begin heading back to his cave. "Do not follow them.."

Daluca slowly held up a hand, as if to tell Copper to stop. "..Calm down." He said in a calm, deep tone, before his eyes closed and he took a deep breath, exhaling slowly to calm himself. "...You are making this into a big deal."

"I am standing back." Daluca responded, before gesturing out, and then, that was when he noticed the woman had arrived. "...Your human is here.." He said in a low tone, keeping his arms crossed, but slowly stood up from the tree he was leaning on.

"...You really are foolish." Daluca said in a low tone to the Meowth, although it would've come out as pokè-speech to the human. "I may be the guardian of this forest, but I also forbid the other pokemon from attacking others..even if I come off as a beast." He hadn't quite noticed the human..
