From the writings of Sir Aaron
First Aura Master
Year 160 MIV
….And how our world has changed!
There was a time long ago, in a different world long past, when all people and Pokemon were deeply in tune with the power of Aura, the rippling threads of spirit which Arceus wove through the very fabric of life, in the beginning. But that time is past. The world is always changing.
For Pokemon, only certain species seem to still be able to connect with the power of Aura; for humans, the gift is even rarer. I have been granted this gift—I can see Aura, feel it in my bones, reach out and touch it as though it were a physical entity. What I see, though, is lost to others. We are losing our connection with our world, slowly but surely.
This crystal we have found, though—it may change everything.
It amplifies the bond between human and Pokemon in ways never dreamed of before. With it, they can share thoughts, emotions, even abilities. It increases the Pokemon's power tenfold, and grants the human abilities that the Pokemon possesses—imagine a man breathing fire, like a Charizard, or shaking the very earth as Tyranitar does! The connection it forges between a human and Pokemon pair is so strong, they can become almost like one being, unified in heart and mind—something no one has been able to achieve since the early days of the world.
This crystal can unify people and Pokemon—and bring our kingdom the might to stand against even the most formidable foes.
This is why I have founded the Aura Guardians, to protect the world and the secrets of Aura. Whether naturally gifted or not, people and Pokemon can come to receive a crystal, to form the greatest bond possible with their Pokemon and become Guardians of the realm. With our hearts united, we can become an unstoppable force for all that is good and just in the world.
I am the first Aura Master, leader of the Aura Guardians. Others will come after me, to take up the cause I have begun. Within the pages of this book, the history of the Guardians will be recorded from now into time immemorial—their victories and failures, battles fought and hardships overcome, darkest hours and brightest moments. Within these pages are their hopes and dreams, visions for a new future.
Come, you who follow after me, and let your story be told here for eternity.
