| |- Thoughts
[I own nothing in this story except my O.C.]
The bright amber sunlight shone onto the face of a lightly tanned teenager whose head lay on a small rock. The teen, who was seventeen years old, had his face adorned with a scar going from under his left nostril to the center of his chin, leaving a gap of smooth skin in the thin stubbly beard that grew in his face. His wavy charcoal black, shoulder length hair lay freely over the right side of his face. As the light intensified, a low groan began to emanate from the teen's throat as he opened his steel grey eyes before rising and started to stretch.
{Are ready, Master Ryan?} Asked a voice for behind him.
As he turned to look behind him, the now named Ryan, saw a blue jackal humanoid hybrid standing before him. The creature stood at a height of 3'11" with its fur consisting of blue and black with a cream colored torso. There was a spikes protruding from both of the jackal's paws as well as the center of its chest. The creature's head has four appendages on the back of it dropping down like dreadlocks. Standing up straight its red eyes seemed to be focused on Ryan.
Signing, Ryan looked up at the creature before him and said,
"Yeah Lucario, just let me get changed. Can you get the others ready, in the meantime?"
{Of course Master.} Lucario said as he walked back to where he came from.
After a quick stretch, Ryan head towards his brown courier bag he had laid near the foot of his 'bed' and started to change for the task at hand. Out of the satchel he pulled out a thick, black zip-up leather jacket, a black V-neck t-shirt and a pair of black pants. The leather jacket had a dark blue colored hood and a dirty-gold coloring on the zipper. The hood was oversized causing it to cast a shadow over his eyes whenever he put it on making him seem slightly ominous. The shirt had a dark blue circle on the bottom right edge. Inside the circle was the design of a black gem that was looked to be emitting light. His pants were damaged and had slash marks going from his thighs to his knees and kept sealed by strands of fabric along the slashes. His feet bore a pair of black sneakers with a dark blue ball on each of them.
{Master, the Galactic's are preparing the red chain for Palkia and Dialga.} Lucario said as Ryan walked over to his group
"Then let's hurry and give my cousin and his friends the time that they need to get here."
[You think that Ash and his friends will make it here on time?] Asked a green figure with worry.
The figure a 5'03" white, bipedal Pokémon. Its lower body consisted of round hips with strong looking legs. It had a thin green torso with sharp, red horns sticking out of its chest and back. Its arms were shaped like tonfas with extendable blades on its elbows, making him a perfect sparring partner for Ryan.
Ash Ketchum was Ryan's cousin and the closest thing to a little brother that he had. From the day he was born, Ryan was sent to live with his Aunt Delia and Uncle Red. After four year of living with them his 'younger brother' was born. But just as his family got bigger it also got smaller. After a week of Ash's birth, his Uncle Red went to the Kalos Region for Professor Oak, but he never came back. The last person to talk to him was Professor Sycamore, who said Red told him he ran across something strange and was going to check it out before he disappeared.
Currently Ash was traveling with his longtime friend, Brock Harrison, the ex-gym leader of the Pewter City gym in the Kanto region, and Dawn Berlitz, an up and coming coordinator from the Sinnoh region. Growing up, Brock had wants to become a pokemon breeder, but had to take care of his siblings and the Gym after his father left for his own journey. After being defeated by Ash, Brock's father returned allowing him to go out on his journey with Ash and has be with him through three region since Ash started his journey. Dawn has wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps become a top coordinator ever since she could remember, because of this the moment she turned ten she set off on her pokemon journey and meet Ash along the way.
"Yeah, they'll make it but we need to buy them some time, Gallade." Ryan answered the now know named Gallade.
{You shouldn't have let him talk you into letting him or his friends get involved this is they are still young and this is dangerous even for an Aura Guardian such as yourself.} Lucario says annoyance riddling his voice.
Despite being only seventeen years old, Ryan was already one of the youngest Aura Guardians to serve Lady Ilene. His training started at his Uncle Red's memorial service he finally met his father, an Aura Guardian by the name of Riley Ketchum. When he finally his father he was angry at first but eventually heard him out about his reasoning for leaving him with his Aunt and now late Uncle. As he heard about his father's occupation, Ryan asked his father to make him an Aura Guardian. Much to his displeasure his Aunt immediately told his father that he was not going to take a four year old to become a protector.
Though he tried to argue, Ryan eventually gave in and agreed to wait till he was ten to become an Aura Guardian. Despite the unmoving wall that was Delia Ketchum, his father still left him a book on Aura control.
After spending six years, not only studying his Aura book but helping his Aunt Delia raise Ash, Ryan went to Professor Oak's Lab and was greeted by his father, who took him to Cameron Castle and gave him a Riolu egg. And so he spent four more years not only homing his aura abilities and learn how to wield any weapon but also being given lessons on proper educate with which to act in the presence of the Regional royalty, by his maternal aunt and Queen of Rota, Lady Ilene.
Since then, he has help in stopping of Team Rocket's advances in Kanto, alongside Ash and Brock, despite his own complaints to his cousin to try his best to stay out of Team Rocket's way. After Ash left to the other regions, Ryan started to train ever harder to get stronger to keep another incident like Mewtwo's attack from repeating itself. After training with his dad for four years, Ryan was finally made an Aura Guardian. Over his years serving at Cameron Castle, he had caught himself other partners, Gallade and Honedge. While Ryan was technically the Queen's bodyguard, he would often be requested to leave the kingdom to keep the peace of the pokemon world as the Guardians of old did. Much to his displeasure, these off kingdom visits would often end in Ash and his traveling group being at the epicenter of the occurrence.
Much like his current assignment, from the Sinnoh Pokemon League. This assignment involved him following and stopping the region's major criminal organization, Team Galactic. While every region had its own criminal organization hell bent on achieving their leader's personal agenda, Team Galactic's goal was more sinister in nature. Their leader, Cyrus was a dead serious leader whose end goal was to create a 'perfect' universe where all emotion is gone preventing it from 'corrupting' the universe.
"Lucario, the Lake Trio already shown themselves to him and his friends. So as much as I hate it, he's already involved." Ryan responds, despite slightly agreeing with his starter pokemon.
{I know that you fear for his wellbeing Master. Let us hurry and stop Cyrus before they can get hurt.} Lucario responded, solemnly
"Agreed. Honedge come on." Ryan states while flicking on his hood and turning to the final figure with Lucario and Gallade.
Honedge was a 2'07" Pokémon that resembled a sword from the medieval times. Honedge had two different appearance, while sheathed it resembled a dark brown sword sheath with curved lines across its surface. While in unsheathed its appearance looked like a silver sword, with a gem that looks like an eye engraved on its hilt. Attached to its pommel was a long, dark blue cloth with a swirl design in lighter blue at its four-split end. The interesting thing about the cloth was that it is known to suck out the life energy of anyone around whose arm it wraps, making it an incredible tool for Ryan, who wanted to increase his Aura reserve and his 'recharge' time.
"Honedge" It responded as it jump onto his back and looped it's 'arm' around him to grab onto the end of its sheath like body.
Readjusting his bag to accommodate for Honedge's sheath, Ryan looked at the pokemon on his back and the two in front of him, before giving a ghost of a smile that he quickly shifted into a serious face and said,
"Come on let's give the others some time to get here."
They were currently at the exit leading to Mt. Coronet's summit and were immediately confronted by Galactic Grunts, bringing a grin to Ryan's face as they are giving him some warm up for the battle to come against Cyrus.
Finally getting to the entrance to the Spear Pillar he sees the international police officer, Looker, along with Team Rocket's most incompetent trio standing near a helicopter surrounding some Galactic Grunts and Commander Jupiter which were now tied down by a rope.
Looker was a middle aged looking man with short greyish hair that wears a brown, knee length overcoat on top of a dark-brown business suit. The suit was over a white dress shirt and had a lavender colored tie around his neck. On his feet he wore a dull black dress shoes
"Looker, glad to see you made it to the party." Ryan said, knowing that in this recent journey that Looker was usually around with Ash when it involved Team Galactic.
"Ah, Ryan I was wondering when you would show up Ash and -" Looker started but was interrupted when the sky suddenly darkened and lightning came down on the helicopter causing it to explode.
Knowing the danger Ryan, Gallade and Lucario got in front of them and put their hands in front of them creating a massive shield around them, blunting the damage done to them.
As they lower the shield, Jupiter said,
"It's time, a new world is being born and the old one destroyed!"
Angered, Looker turned and said,
"Don't you realize you'll be caught up in that destruction with all of us? Is that what you want?!"
Smiling crazily, Jupiter responded,
"Fine by me!"
Surprised by the response, Ryan was even more startled when he felt a surge of pain coming from down inside of Mt. Coronet. Ordering Lucario and Gallade to stay with Looker in case more lighting continued to fall, Ryan and by default Honedge, raced down the step leading to Spear Pillar as fast as he could stopping at the end of the steps shocked by the beings before him.
To his left stood Saturn, Mars and Charon all smiling evilly as a green sphere before them showed numerous universe inside of it. In front of him stood Cynthia with her Garchomp glaring at Cyrus' back as he admired the green sphere that would give him the new universe that he desired. And to his right stood his cousin Ash with a look that radiated determination and hope, next to him stood Brock and Dawn along with Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup, Brock's Croagunk and the Lake Trio.
But what made his blood run cold and caused him to visibly pale were the presence of Palkia and Dialga both surrounded by a red version of Arceus' 'crown' around them. Remembering that the last time the two 'gods' meet was in Alamos Town with Darkrai, Ryan started to fear the destruction that would be caused.
Then as the Galactic executives moved towards Cyrus and his 'new' universe, Palkia and Dialga attack Team Galactic. Turning to them, Cyrus said they could never understand what that universe truly meant to him.
Using the distraction, Ryan unsheathed Honedge and in a slashing motion and yelled,
"NIGHT SLASH!" Releasing a giant dark crescent shaped attack into the air.
As the attack flew through the air it not only alerted every one of his presence, but also connected with Palkia's 'crown', weakening it sufficiently.
Looking at his, now grinning 'little brother', Ryan yelled,
"We'll catch up later, Ash. Right now we need to help Palkia and Dialga."
Seeing Ash turn to his group and lead them in an all-out attack on Dialga's 'crown', Ryan smirked and told Honedge,
"Come on buddy, let's hit it with our best shot."
Getting a happy,
"Honedge."
Placing his both his hands on the hilt of Honedge's hilt, Ryan started to pump some of his aura into Honedge giving it a blue coloring. The same time blade Pokémon started to charge a Night Slash. Soon its blade started to glow a blue and purple color before Ryan slashed to blade towards Ruler of Space. As the attack was released the Night Slash appeared to be twice its normal size and had a light blue swirl wrapping around it.
When the attack connected, it effectively destroyed Palkia's 'crown' and released Palkia from Cyrus' control. Looking over at his cousin's group he saw that Dialga was also freed of Cyrus' control. With the 'god' of space and time freed, the portal was slowly closing much to Ryan's relief.
As the portal closed Cyrus slowly started to approach it saying,
"This is MY perfect world, governed by an order that does not require neither heart nor conscience."
Knowing what Cyrus was about to do, Ryan yelled,
"CYRUS YOU IDIOT! GET AWAY FROM THEIR!"
Seeing that the foolish leader wasn't backing away, Ryan darted toward him. Before anyone could stop them the two went through the portal. Seeing them go through the portal, Ash and Mars tried to follow them through the portal, only of Brock and Saturn to stop them respectively.
While Mars seemed to accept Saturn's wishes, Ash struggled against Brock's hold before yelling,
"Let me go Brock! I have to get him back! Please, Brock he's my family, I can lose him again. Please the portal hasn't closed just-"
His pleas were cut short when both Palkia and Dialga screeched and charged a Spacial Rend and Roar of Time respectively. Seeing this, Ash started to struggle more before yelling out with tears in his eyes,
"RYAN!"
As he floated through the empty space of the portal, Ryan saw Cyrus floating ahead of his, in total joy as he saw all the universes, oddly shaped into weird designs or symbols. Some of the few he saw were one with a weird lightning bolt and glasses, another with a weird wing design and a tail attached to it and another with a red circle that spiraled.
Knowing that this was a dangerous place to be in for someone as demented as Cyrus, Ryan started to pump Aura into his feet to catch his enemy and to get out of there to his family. As he reach the twisted leader, he reared his arm back and slammed an open palm into the back of Cyrus' head, effortlessly knocking him out. Adjusting the man under his arm, Ryan started to head back to the diminishing portal only to hear a screech coming from the other side of the portal. Racing toward the portal by he pushed more aura into his legs, he heard Ash yell,
"RYAN!"
Looking toward the portal, he saw his 'brother' being held back by Brock while Palkia and Dialga charged their signature moves, before firing it at the portal.
As if in slow motion, Ryan saw the look of horror on Ash and Dawn's faces, while Cynthia and Brock turned to their pokemon and looked to by trying to give them a command to stop the incoming attack, along with Honedge's assistance. Looking at the Galactic executives, he saw them with a look of defeat as they knew that the other group wouldn't stop the attack in time.
Then a flash of light blinded him, followed by him being pushed back into one of the universe and releasing his hold on Cyrus. As he floated backward, he saw his body get surrounded by red rose petals before slowly lost consciousness. In his barely, conscious states he looked toward the light and whisper,
"Ash... I'm sorry."
Added to the revision this time around is that I actually gave Ash a dad, granted he disappeared but he had one. Everything will look the same for those of you at read the story before, with the exception of some grammar edits and possibly events change, it all depends on if it helps my story.
Also to clarify Ryan's abilities:
-Aura Shields: Can create Shields out of his Aura
-Aura Spheres: Can launch Aura as a projectile
-Aura Vision: Can observe other's Auras and view their positions
-Aura Infusing: Can pump aura into any object view touch
-Emotion Reading: Can feel others emotions giving him the edge on his opponents
-Emotion Release: Releases his Aura into a person to induce a certain Emotion in them
His emotion reading can self-active when confronted with aggressive emotions, the other emotions can't be picked up automatically he must search for them.
