Chapter One
Enter the Aura
Sam was just your average teen. Until he saw something that would change his life. A mirror with an outline in it. A shape in a mirror with nothing to create it. It looked at him with 8 red eyes, then faded away. He blinked and just dismissed it as his mind playing tricks on him, continuing on his way. The teen kept walking, then he saw something else. A mirror with a door handle sticking out of it. He curiously walked over to it and looked at the people who walked right by it. Hesitantly, Sam grabbed the handle and turned it, pulling the mirror open. Immediately, he was sucked in, and the door shut behind him. When he stopped feeling like soda through a straw, he was on the ground. He looked up and couldn't believe what he saw. The same thing that he saw a minute ago, except everything was reverse, like reading something in a mirror. He looked to his left and saw a man in a black suit. The man smiled and said, "Hello, young man. My name is Ace. Welcome to the Rider Battle."
Sam squinted, "Rider Battle? What is that? Where am I?" Ace oblingingly answered, "There are 12 Riders. They are selected at random. And they participate in a tournament. The one left standing will get anything they desire. As to where you are, that's an easy one. A mirror version of your world. And the only way back is to enter the tournament. Do you accept?" Sam spoke up, "If it means that I will go back home, yes." Ace reached into his pocket and pulled out a plastic box with what appeared to be cards inside. Like a card deck. Sam asked, "What is this?" Ace once again gave an answer, "That is your Poke Deck. You must draw the card and hold it to a mirror. You will gain the power to travel between worlds and compete in the Battle." Sam hesitantly drew the card and held it to the mirror behind him. A familiar figure appeared - a Lucario. It burst from the mirror and ran into Sam. A flash of light occured, and after it subsided, a new figure took Sam's place.
He had a helmet designed like a Lucario's head, mouth open for a tinted visor. On his left arm was a silver rectangle with a red triangle pointing to a red slot. The rest was a blue suit with bits of black and silver armor attatched. Ace spoke from behind him, "Welcome to the fight Poke Rider Rio."
