the next day ash and pikachu (he wanted to be one as well) were standing in front of the throne with 7-10 other people wearing the blue robe and pants both the queen and Crowley spoke "to sum it up training will last you five years until you reach the rank where we see you fit for field duty, every year you will take a test to see if you move up even if your just shadowing someone the ranks are as followed" before leaving
aura ranks:
aura adept
recruit
trainee
enforcer/ courier (able to go on "less" dangerous missions and deliver messages to command posts, in the field )
aura guard ( protects higher ranking officers, shadowing real aura guardian or higher final year )
aura guardian, mark 3/2/1
aura master ( now capable of handling students)
aura commander
aura field marshal
aura general rank 4/3/2/1
aura overseer
aura grandmaster
after that you will take one test to pass your training,then your official ranking is placed, you are dismissed" crowley said everyone nodded and turned away ash was the last out the door,
" ash hold on!" he turned around to see crowley comming up to him " now ash as you have a book and not a teacher, you will move a little different than the others but with the book we don't know how it's able to tell if you should or shouldn't go up in rank, its a mystery to us as well so when the book tell you you move up a rank come see me and i will make it offical." he said before leaving
ash nodded and left for his room.
serena already left for the day to explore rota, ash entered his room and sat on a mat in the middle of the floor he opened his pokeball containing riolu before sitting cross legged on the floor with the leather bound book in his lap, the words pressed into the leather read, Aura 101: complete title inside
ash opened the cover and looked the worlds said :Aura (the study of the force of life and what drives it), the power unlocked by you and me to see the universe and pokemon, the light at the end of the tunnel-the blue glow on the end of your finger, the truth of what the world is made of and how to understand it, unlocked by the power within' featuring sir Aaron
"well i see he's got a funny bone." ash said as he looked at his snickering pokemon
ash looked at the next page and read the table of contents for this stage
cp1: unlocking aura
cp2:feeling aura
cp3: reading aura
cp4: focusing aura
cp5: commanding aura
cp6: passive abilities of aura
cp7: combative abilities of aura
cp8: leaching aura
cp9: aura forming
cp10: tips and tricks for using aura
ash smiled as he turned to the first page it read
Chapter 1: unlocking aura
by now as you are reading this book you must be aware of aura and what it one of the reasons why its so long is to explain that so yes you have aura good job you've now become a pawn in a massive chess game spawning centuries long, so ok you have aura now we need to get you to activate it but of course we need to understand what is aura, and for that a chemistry lesson with atoms, as you know atoms are made up of protons neutrons, and electrons which are themselves made up of quarks right? right, well theres something else in between the eletron cloud and the nucleus theres another particle which we call particle X
(partically because partical A was stolen so yea, and thats the last joke in this book so laugh as you like ) now particle X is the aura particle there are a fied number in them in every atom so to determine how powerful you are with aura you have to take a individual atom count the number of paricale X there is in that, multiply that by 6.02 times 10 to the 23 ( moles) plus the amount of atoms in the body roughly about 100,000,000,000 and there we go,
now to unlock aura you need to simply breath deep and reach inside yourself.
after that you need to remember that as you will be doing it constantly for the exercises, "
ash flipped a few pages ahead as he knew this stuff he activated his aura with lucario before training and refining it after kalos,
Chapter two: feeling aura
great show you've finally got down to being able to access your aura on demand that's good, now of course comes the next part feeling aura, or as some people call it aura sight, basically the ability to watch your surroundings with out using your eyes, and for the most part it's as effective or even more effective than using your real eyes, because your eyes are so easy to fool, I've wrote a book about this look up, "eyes the truth of the lie."( note not a real book)
now to activate aura sight close your eyes and activate your aura, you will feel a pull as the living things that have aura will draw the aura to you, based on gravitational pull, after that there will be a snap back as the aura falls away, then your vision will clear, it will be in greyscale but that how it looks,"
Ash did as the book instruction and as it said it was in greyscale, he looked down using the aura sight to the page and read,
" ok now if your done with that you can stop using it for now, as that will come in handy for later techniques and to read notes I don't feel like sharing to other, anyway now if you look at something living you will notice they will have a blue outline to what ever your looking at, well they will have either, blue, dark grey, and orange, blue signify so allies, dark grey signifies as impassive so basically innocents and bystanders, the orange ones are the foes, and are either going to hurt your, try to flat out kill you, or take your Pokémon, now besides that aura sight also can show emotions as well, there's light blue, which is the guys in a calm state, there red, which is agitated state, then pure white which is shocked, there can be many of those three which can go to the color of the rainbow, but that's the basics, oh and black is basically no emotions. But yea that for this lesson go on to the next page to start training in aura sight.
Ash did that and got a good handle of it and turned the page to the next chapter
chapter 3: reading aura
now reading aura is quite simple it's basically watching the aura flow around them to tell how they're feeling acting and planning on doing, but of course this is a lot harder that going by the color method but the work pays off much more, as of course, with the color method you can get confused but with this one you can't it's the flow of aura that tells you the info, and that's something no one can change unless your an aura guardian. Use your Pokémon try to see what there thinking after your done continue onto the next chapter...
Ash put the book down and focused his aura on riolu as they did there lesson pikachu was outside focusing on attacks physically training
After that ash opened up the book he had gotten far and it was about 30 minutes until lunch
Chapter 5
now here's where the real fun begins this chapter is about you being able to one activate your aura but with you mastering the focusing your aura it will be easer to learn, hold it, than shape it to your will this is one of the Most difficult parts of aura training but once you get it down you will be so much stronger, so to start this lesson activate your aura and calmly bring it to your finger tip, your finger tip will start to feel heavy due to the a out of aura you've compressed in there, but of course that's only in the body you need to release it and bring it outside the body but how? Well that's the tricky part it's just natural you have to fuigure it out on your own, sorry I can't help you, ( for the first few times try to do this outside or out a window.)
Ash put the book down and went to open the window overlooking the courtyard there the garden and a water strip and a nice open space, He reached out the window and focused the aura to his finger tip, he closed his eyes and thought of ways to release the built up aura. He snapped open his eyes in an instance and thruster his hand forward, what came out was a blue aura version of a hyper beam mixed with a rocket taking off. The force was so great it sent ash flying into the bookshelf behind him with a loud CRASH!
Out side pikachu was going over his moves to fight so his reaction would be faster. He was taking a small rest when all of a sudden a blue beam shot out into the distance. Pikachu looked back to see the blast fade out and noticed it came from a window of the second floor, in fact it was his room it came from. ( really ash fuck you) the mouse said before going back to his moves
Back at Ash's room " holy crap THAT WAS AWSOME!" He said he got up and picked up the books before going back to studying.
Before ash knew it ash was calling out
" OK LUNCHTIME!" And pikachu was at his side in an instance as ash placed the food down it was Serena's special food.
Ash looked at his buddy digging in " alright pikachu I'm finished with the book for today so it's yours," he said as he took a bite of his sandwich
After there quick lunch ash was putting away dishes before turning to his riolu " well now that we're done with aura I have to ask will you be willing to assist me on hand to hand combat?" He asked
" of course master." Riolu said before walking out to the court yard, ash sighed as he put the last plate away. " when will I ever get it in his head to stop referring to me as master?" Ash said until pikachu popped out from the door ( never!) he said before pulling back
Ash sighed as he walked out the door, in the middle of the court yard riolu sat there legs crossed and eyes closed, ash went and stood about 3 ft across from his Pokémon
" remember no moves only fists and feet. You ready?" He asked riolu didn't answer just a cloud of dust appeared and he vanished.
Ash stood stalk still closed his eyes and waited, he used his aura to boost his ears he felt the rushing of wind ' of course.' Ash thought he snapped his eyes open and jumped back just as riolu slammed down where ash once was.
Ash readjusted his form with his right foot in front a bit and his left behind him. " my turn." He said before crouching down and boosted off with the ground. He was in front of the small dog In a second and threw a punch with his left hand, riolu did a sideways cartwheel so the punch missed his head and he used his feet to redirect the blow. Once on two hands riolu then pushed off preparing to kick ash in the face with both feet,
Ash threw his hand back around in a circle and using both speed and good timing block and redirect riolu's kick while in the air ash didn't give it time to recover and threw another punch with his right hand sending the Pokémon flying Ash looked at the Pokémon who was getting up. He walked over slowly wanting to end this quick.
As he stood over him ash flattened his hand out into a jab and shoved it at riolu's neck " I win." He said ( there's one think your forgetting...never leave your legs unprotected!) riolu said as he kicked ashes legs out from under him with one leg, and pushed him back with the other.
Ash went flying despite being not only in the air but after being hurt by his riolu, he smiled he kicked off an invisible wall and did a back flip landing on his feet and getting back into battle position " ready or not here I come!" He yelled before kicking off and vanishing. Riolu stepped back to give it self some room before doing a round house kick to the air,
Ash got in riolu's face and was able to grab the leg stopping it in his tracks " (huh!?) riolu was shocked before he felt weightless and was sent flying as ash threw him into a bush
Ash walked towards it slowly intent of finishing the battle soon when the bush moved ash tensed and prepared to counter riolu's attack. Only to be forced to do a back flip to avoid an aura sphere now that he knew where he was ash lead with a good solid punch wth his right into the bush, only to feel nothing but leaves
" what!?" Ash asked himself ' that sneaky bastard he used the sphere as an distraction to get away.' Ash relized he stood there stalk still knowing if he pulling his arm out riolu would hear it and attack problem was he was in a compromising position. " RRRAHHHHH!" ( IVE GOT YOU NOW!) Riolu cried as it jumped out of the bush next to ash and went for a left hook. Ash instantly pulled his arm out of the bush and deflected the hook before snapping the arm back halting just at the base of the neck " got you WAHHH!" Ash cried as he was thrown onto his back riolu stood over him. ( nope got you master) riolu said with a smile before helping ash up to a sitting position,
( that was good ash most aura trainers one don't do this kinda exercise and two they are never as good as you,) he said before sitting down with his feet crossed.
" yea I know after kalos I went off with greninja to help me stay fit we would do the synchronization exercise and while he was running around I would be jumping tree branch to tree branch following him, we kept track of each other's moves, and eventually probably with help from my aura I was able to learn a few moves." Ash said
( well you certainly have gone far with it, and now that we have a baseline I can start training more with aura.) riolu said
" we are going to get back to the physical stuff right?" Ash asked
(if that is what you wish.) riolu said
" I do there have been a few times when I've been with out Pokémon and I hate to be defenseless. And I don't want to be dependent on my aura either for if someone can bypass it...well you know," ash said
(that is understandable come on let's go I think pikachu is waiting for us.) riolu said before picking himself up and walking away ash right on his tail.
training went on for a few months ( time skip) sorry but it's just a repeat of the same thing,
"After months of training aura courier, Ash Ketchum and pikachu it's time for your first mission." Crowley said
" thank you sir," ash and pikachu bowed there head, in respect as he knelt In front of Crowley, ash stood up and sat down, Crowley passed a file over to him " this is the new transfer manuscripts for the base's of both Kanto and johto regions which you will be passing through, we send you, on this mission only because your riolu has not evolved yet, but of course knowing you ah what ever, be careful even thought your not going into direct combat, there still enemies moving on us, the aura hunters for one, is such group, get these to there location by any means nessecery. Good luck." Crowley said
Ash took the file and slipped it into his blue aura courier satchel, as the three nodded and left, ash took his hat from another pocket and put it on. Once out side ash activated aura vision to find the fastest way off of the island. Ash's eyes snapped open, " I guess we're running until we can call charzard." Ash said pikachu nodded as the one human, and two Pokémon started to run, all the while using free running to head and stay in that straight line, as much as possible. Jumping from rooftops, sliding down pipes to get back to ground level.
before they knew it they were jumping from car top to car top, not that it really mattered as the traffic was bumper to bumper, " well once we get to the center we can get to the air." Ash said as he pikachu and riolu started to head towards the center,
( later Pokémon center)
Ash and pikachu ran into the Pokémon center covered with bruises all over the only thing was the package they were carrying was completely unharmed. They did a roll right as a hyper beam came and nearly flew over his head he slammed the door closed as nurse joy stepped out " WHATS GOING ON?!" She called " there's no time tell me do you have a back entrance?" Ash asked, ash broke down the door and ran off with pikachu right on his tail ( why dio we attract so much trouble I mean really we over our journey we should have died over seven times over!) pikachu said " I thought you loved the adventures?" Ash asked ( I do but really seven time of life and death situations even if there the world at stake, kinda gets old and the need for a break grows,) pikachu comments
" yea your right hold on let's go there's a cave to the right here I think we can lose them." Ash said as he vaulted over a fallen tree as pikachu ran under it. Ash slid into the cave which was in the dirt cliff they faced " we should be safe here for a while just don't use aura, I can tell there aura sensitive just whisper." Ash whispered to pikachu.
Right above them a man stood there looking out into the forest ahead of him " damn I lost him, another document and the guardian's stay alive, KEEP LOOKING THOUGHT THIS FOREST, I WANT TO KNOW EVERYONE WHO LEAVES HERE, IF YOU FIND AN GUARDIAN KILL ON SIGHT!" The man said before leaving
" jeez these guys don't fucking give up, they've been chasing us for hours." Ash said
( yea I mean really they started right when we entered Kanto, and haven't stopped hey where are we going where is the base located?) pikachu asked ash looked at his map " umm apparently it's just over that hill, not in between viridian and pewter, I'm suprised we didn't see the first time" ash said ( okay we have a good window now if we're quick we might be able to lose them) pikachu said " right lets go!" Ash said as he drew his aura into his feet and dashed off with pikachu clinging on for dear life.
( aaahhhhh gooddddddddd whyyyyyyyy?!) pikachu cried as he bounced up and down.
Suddenly there was a sudden stop and pikachu went flying forward " huh what did you say pikachu?" Ash asked even though that was not tha main reason why they stopped it was the fact that they were here. They stopped in front of a log cabin ' huh I feel like I've been here before but I can't remember.' Ash said and decided just to knock on the door, " coming be right there-" the man said as he opened the door when ash got a good look at him he saw a man with samurai armor looking at him
the man acted fast and gripped his sword " what are you doing here? Stare your reason now!" The samurai said " dead drop, tagged, not safe, safe house?, told come here, find man in cabin." Ash said in code " come in quick." The samurai said as ash and pikachu entered the samurai closed the door,and locked it " well ash I didn't expect you to join the ranks of an aura guardian well done." He praised " I'm not just a courier got a package for you and one for johto." He said as he panted trying to regain his breath, " alright let's see mine," he said as he asked for the package, ash handed the package, over, knowing it was him and he could be trusted. The man opened the letter and read the script " okay thanks I'll tell the rest of the development, you head off to johto take the underground passage it will get you to Velmont city where you can take the fairy to johto, that should lose the ones following you," Sam said " thanks man good luck." Ash said as he opened a panel in the middle of the cabin under the rug and jumped down.
" alright pikachu let's move," ash said as they made there run.
Ash opened the up the passage to the surface to appere in a man hole in the middle of an ally " oh great Nice shadowy spot to hide." Ash said as the two bought tickets to johto, ash looked out " you know I really shouldn't say this but I really haven't seen team rocket." Ash said and right as he said that pikachu was stolen " ahh shit." He said " prepare for trouble, Jessie said " and make it double," James followed " to protect the world from divestaction," to unite the people within our naction" ( skipping the rest you know it all )
" you know I could almost see that coming right as that left my mouth." Ash said
" oh really twerp if that's the case why didn't you prepare for it then?" James asked tauntingly " I did." Ash said which made the three rockets flinch ' he what?!' They thought " NOW!" Ash called as pikachu sent off an aura sphere and sent the rockets flying " OH WELL WERE OFF AGAIN!"
" wow jeez can't those people every learn?" Ash asked as they departed from the ship.
On solid land ash was glad, being confined into a tight space while trying to stay out of sight was difficult. " alright pikachu lets go deliver the package." Ash said as he and pikachu ran off, unknown to them behind a building one of the hunters was watching he clicked on the radio and said " hunter one to control, target is on the move, retify target, into positional test, incounter plot, intercept then cut off." The guy said
" we read you go ahead your in the clear, take him out." The guy on the other side said as hunter one disappeared. Ash ran through the the forest to get to the next dead drop. He was painting hard, normally he would have to Lean on a tree to catch his breath after a sprint to the forest, but ash used both the aura within him and the aura around him to cool him off and refuel his stamina, he was able to countune this for a while, it was a passive ability of a guardian. Sadly for ash after he stops his real stamina chat he's up with him and he feels like he's being hit by a train, and if pulled to much he can die from it.
in the woods he stopped slowly and waited " hold on pikachu I have to stop we can walk a bit more but still we have to-." Ash was cut off when someone landed behind him with a loud BOOM! Ash spun around to see a guy with black armor standing there, " hello aura guardian prepare to die," he said in a dark voice, ash looked over him and saw his aura, it was cold and dear clearly this person had no qualms with killing, in fact it looked like he enjoyed it. chosen get to get as far away from this beast as possible ash chose to stun him giving him enough to time to make sure he wasn't followed " PIKACHU THUNDER WAVE WE DONT WANT TO B PE FOLLOWED!" He yelled and pikachu reacted instantly as the bolt him the man he cried out " ARRG!" He yelled as he slumped down unable to move, "come on let's go." Ash said as he and pikachu ran off. They thought they got away when the same man landed right back in front of him, and he knew because he was still sparking. " you really need to learn my child, a stupid bolt of lightning isn't going to stop me, just power me up more," he said as his visor flashed red for a sec before he started to charge at ash,
ash let both his reactions and instinct take over, as he spun to the side and stuck his arm out and cloths lined him before grabbing his foot and spinning him into a tree, a loud crack was heard as the mans helmet had a new large crack in it. Ash then followed up with a punch. Breaking the visor away reveling one one auburn eye, and a but of black hair,
ash stepped back in shock, because he thought it was himself ' I would never work for evil was I- betrayed?' Ash thought before shaking those thought out of his mind, he did a jump kick to finish him off and run back on the road.
" dear god what the hell was that?" Ash asked ( how the hell should I know? just keep running!) pikachu said as they ran off.
quick pikachu here it is we've made it to the dead drop, inside this cabin we can finally get rid of this package and-" ash didn't finish as he opened the door to find himself surrounded by the aura hunters, wearing the black body armor, " ahh fuck!" Ash sighed and closed his eyes waiting for them to kill him and take the package. Expect it never did, inserted they started to clap. Ash opened his eyes and saw right in front of him was Crowley?
" what?" Ash asked " congrats you beat my test." He said " what test are you saying?" Ash asked " yes this here was a test to see how well your training was going, obviously we couldn't give you a standardized test, so we had to think outside the box on this one, and actually I quite like it I might keep it," he said " so all of this the hole mission always a test?" Ash asked " oh no, the first delivery was the actual mission/test, the rest was just to get you here so I could talk to you," Crowley said
" so all these guys are actors and there's no real evil threat trying to kill aura guardian's?" Ash asked " oh no that was real the fact is there is many a grou that would kill for our info we get, these guys started to follow you only after you reached the second island just so you could get use to it, as normally you will not confront them," Crowley said " oh!" Ash said as he relized the first group was the real deal. " so what was the one guy I beat up I guess he wasn't put me from the future?" Ash asked " correct" Crowley said but didn't give anymore info, ash slumped into the couch and took a deep breath of relief
" but anyways that's enough of that good job take time to rest up here, me and the inner council will head back to the palace, the deed is in the drawl here, think of it as a summer home, a gift for completing your first mission." Crowley said as he and all the other people walked out the door,
