*Bows to the sound of a gong* Greetings young ones. Beninja here with another Death Battle! This is the second battle of the series. If you haven't read the first one then click this link to go check it out. www. fanfiction /s/11024366/1/DEATH-BATTLE-1-of-10-Sly-Cooper-vs-Rikimaru Today we have a Pokémon Death Battle but not any Pokémon, oh no. We have two famous Pokémon that people have adored ever since their movies. Lucario, Master of the Aura and Zoroark, Master of Illusions. Sorry it took so long but I've been dealing with a lot of things in my life. But now let's get into it. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: OWNS NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

*Death Battle Theme*

W: For the past 19 years Pokémon has brought joy and people together through its many games, its many seasons of the anime, and its movies. And throughout all of them we've seen every Pokémon is unique in their own way.

B: And through their movies, they like show off their legendaries and their uniqueness. Such as Lucario, the Aura…

W: No Boomstick they aren't legendaries.

B: Wait what? But… They have their own movies! Surely this is a death battle of Legendary Pokémon, isn't it?

W: Actually no. They are just ordinary Pokémon with special abilities and have taken the most liking of the Pokémon Company which is why they got their own movie.

B: ...You're kidding right?

W: Nope. Just read the script.

B: Ugh fine. And through their movies, they like show off their legendaries and their uniqueness but there are some who apparently aren't legendary. Such as Lucario, the Aura Pokémon.

W: And Zoroark, the Illusions Pokémon. Also this will be noted that this will work just as the Pokémon Battle Royale did where we will be examining a maxed out wild Pokémon with no EV or IV training, no mega evolutions, and no TM, HM, Tutor, Bred, or unnaturally learned attacks to prevent any and all player influence.

B: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick…

W: And it's our job to examine their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a death battle.

B: *Whispers* Not legendaries my ass…

*SLAM*

W: Hailing from the Sinnoh Region, the evolved form of Riolu the Emanation Pokémon, is Lucario the Aura Pokémon.

B: But since the Pokémon Company like to advertise their future games and the Pokémon in them, Lucario made his first appearance in the Hoenn Region in the movie entitled "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" Oh there's the Legendary.

W: Centuries ago a war was raging and the kingdom Lucario lived in found itself stuck between a battle that would destroy the kingdom and everything in it. When he was unsuccessful he contacted his master, the legendary hero, Sir Aaron to aid him. But upon his arrival Lucario was sealed inside Sir Aaron's staff with the belief his master betrayed him and abandoned the queen and the kingdom to save himself.

B: Too bad at the time Lucario didn't fully understand his true intentions but we'll get to that. Anyways after sleeping in the staff for the next few centuries a festival was being held in honor of Sir Aaron and his noble deeds. And who happens to be there? None other than Ash Ketchem. Who is still somehow TEN FREAKING YEARS OLD!

W: After participating in their tournament and winning Ash got the right to be the Aura Guardian of the Year. When he assumed the pose of Sir Aaron with his staff in hand, Ash released Lucario from his slumber in the staff.

B: Which lead to the currently blinded Lucario to lash out at Ash because he mistook Ash for Sir Aaron and not because Ash happened to wear the same clothes as Sir Aaron but he had the same aura as Sir Aaron. Wait does that mean they're related?

W: Honestly I have no idea. That would be the most logical reason why Ash and Sir Aaron share the same auras but I doubt there's any blood relation to them since as far as we know Sir Aaron didn't have any lover or wife.

B: Then how do they…

W: Its anime and everything has to revolve around Ash. That's gonna be the best explanation anyone will give.

B: Well anyways annoying facts about Ash aside. Lucario began leading our band of heroes to the Tree of Beginnings when Mew took Pikachu and Meowth there though as they traveled Lucario made it very clear he didn't trust humans after having his master, who he believed in, abandon him.

W: But through their journey, Lucario learned to be able to trust humans again after seeing the struggles Ash went through to get Pikachu back.

B: But not before Lucario accused Ash saying he would gladly abandon Pikachu if he needed to which lead to some nasty fights and drama between the two. But yes after seeing the bond Ash had with Pikachu he came to trust humans again.

W: Lucario has many special talents but his most iconic power is that over the aura.

B: What exactly is that? Some kind of spiritual mumbo jumbo pagan voodoo?

W: No. Aura is the essence that exists within all living things and Lucario has the ability to sense it.

B: Oh like Shinigami.

W: Yeah like Shini… Wait no! That's Reiryoku which is completely different from aura.

B: Sure just like how a mountain is so different from my ex-wife.

W: Really Boomstick.

B: What? You've seen that women. Tell me she's not the reincarnation of Mt. Everest.

W: Well uh… eh… um…

B: I rest my case. Anyways Lucario can do more than just sense auras. Lucario is after all a Pokémon. He has the dual typing of Fighting and Steel which gives him a wide variety of attacks. He is a skilled martial artist and can use attacks such as Counter, Bone Rush, Force Palm, Close Combat, and Extreme Speed. He also can learn Power-Up Punch which raises the attack everytime it connects.

W: Lucario also has some Stat attacks like Swords Dance, Calm Mind, and Metal Sound. He can also use Quick Guard to protect himself from priority move like Quick Attack and Me First to steal an attack from the opposing Pokémon to use for itself and make it stronger however it'll only work if the opponent is using a damaging attack.

B: Also Lucario mainly adept to fight up close being a fighting type but that doesn't mean he can't attack from far away. He can use Dragon Pulse and with the power he possesses over the aura, he can manipulate his own aura into energy waves to create his most signature attack, the Aura Sphere.

W: Lucario is strong in Attack and Special Attack and is fast but is lacking in Defense and Special Defense. Also his control over the aura is much more powerful than simply creating an attack and sensing others auras. Lucario doesn't just sense the auras of those nearby he can also sense auras miles away. On top of that Lucario doesn't need his eyes in order to see. If somehow blinded, Lucario can use his power over aura to let him see. Also it should be noted the four black appendages on the back of his head is how he is able to sense aura.

B: Say you know how Lucario's face has a black line going across his eyes?

W: Yeah?

B: And how his appendages stand up when he's using them?

W: Yeah what about them?

B: Well when he has his eyes closed and he does that doesn't it look like there's a blindfold on his face?

W: …Holy crap Boomstick. Did you actually notice something noteworthy before me?

B: Guess that means I'm the new Wiz.

W: Like hell you are.

B: Well back to the topic at hand. Lucario can study others auras to sense their emotions and intentions. It can also be helpful in predicting combat moves.

W: Lucario also has a unique fighting style called high risk – high return. This mean if Lucario is weakened his aura will grow stronger and will allow him to perform more powerful attacks. But he must play it safe since he must be in a weakened state in order for this to take place.

B: Lucario is a clever son-of-a-bitch. Why? Well Lucario is so smart it can understand the human language enough that it can even speak it or at least speak through telepathy.

W: Lucario has even more it can do with the aura.

B: Seriously?! What else can this guy do?

W: Well nothing that could help with combat but there are special flowers called Time Flowers which can record what happened around it when someone who is in tune with their aura comes close enough to activate it. And then it can be played back like a broken record. Also there are special crystals which allow again those who are in tune with their auras to communicate through them like a telephone.

B: Don't know how this will work out in a death battle but hey whatever.

W: Though the aura can be used as a defense too. In the twelfth season Ash and his friends meet Riley on Iron Island, who was training to be an aura guardian with his Lucario. They were able to create barriers with their aura and encase a giant explosion when Team Galactic tried to blow up the island. So naturally these abilities are available to other Lucario as well.

B: And if necessary, Lucario can transfer his aura power to others but in doing so Lucario destroys itself to do so. Which is what Sir Aaron did to save the kingdom by giving Mew his aura power and which is also why Lucario was imprisoned in the staff so Lucario wouldn't have to suffer the same fate. And once Lucario learn this from a Time Flower, he was devastated that his trust in his master faltered.

W: Lucario are very intelligent. They fight calmly without getting angry. Their greatest strength lies in their aura but they aren't invincible because of it. Being a combination of Fighting and Steel types they completely resistant to Poison but are weak to Fire, Ground, and other Fighting types. And as we said the defense of Lucario is lacking and even with his high risk – high results factor he won't be able to last much longer.

B: So he'll have to play it smart and safe if Lucario hopes to win.

*Lucario shoves Ash away from Mew*

Lucario: Leave the rest of this to me Ash.

Ash: Lucario!

Lucario: The aura… is with me! RAAAAAGH!

*SLAM*
