Hello : - Pokedex Entries
The two evolved Pokémon continued to come closer and stopped at a hands distance, they both placed one of their hands on each shoulder and examined it. It felt like someone was passing through inside his body and examining his structure, soul and mind. They continued it for a minute and then paused.
'What the hell are they doing?' he thought.
They then removed their hands and backed down going towards the un-evolved form. They started discussing something in their native language and pointed towards him occasionally. He stood there dumbfounded as they continued to talk to each other.
He cleared his throat to get some attention but got nothing, he has been standing there for minutes and they were just talking between themselves. He was irritated by the action of the Pokémon they were not showing any concern towards him.
He thought about leaving, to find the next task. It was better than to stand there and doing nothing. He turned back with the intention of leaving the room when he heard the voice again.
"We regret the unease caused to you by us but we were deciding about your future plans." the voice said it again.
"Who are you and what are you doing here" he asked as he calmed down.
"Ah yes! Introduction. As you can see there are four of us. Two Lucario and two Riolu, I am the one to your right and the head of our family, to my right is my mate and the one in front of me is our son. The Riolu to his right you can say is his future mate. She is like our daughter, we found her on the Earth and took her in to teach her and continue our legacy." Ash nodded as the male Lucario continued.
"Our ancestor was the partner of Sir Aaron. His mate lived here under the orders from Sir Aaron. She was asked to continue the legacy of our ancestor and live here to help you. It was predicted that you will come around 1 millennia later and so we see the prediction was correct" The voice was then changed to a soft one as the female Lucario continued
"We are the third generation of the legacy and our children who will be joining you will be the fourth. Our elders usually reside in Lucario Kingdom once they have completed their 400 years of living in this dimension. We both are extremely strong compared to others of our species. Our sons and daughters are going to be your life-long partners and will not leave you under any cost. Our species are extremely loyal to their master. These two young ones will be your partners and will help you to train in the ways of aura" the female Lucario finished
"What do you eat here?" he asked curiously as he didn't found anything edible
"We appreciate your concern but we do not need food to survive, this place is filled with aura. We can consume it as this place is the largest reserve of aura. As you may have noticed you do not need to eat and drink to survive here, these crystals revitalize your energy hence the food is not required. Sometimes one of us goes outside to get some berries, just for taste. We can survive without It." the male Lucario replied to his question
Ash dumbly nodded and then asked
"Now what should I do"
"You must follow the instructions in the book and do the tasks given in it. This book was prepared by Sir Aaron to help you in the training" The male Lucario replied satisfying him.
He then went to them and bent down to the level of the two Riolu and looked at them, and then he asked
"My name is Ash Ketchum. Would you like to come with me on my journey to become a Pokémon Master. I want to train a lot of Pokémon and make them the best of their species. We will go on a lot of adventures and have a lot of fun together" he exclaimed
The Lucario were very happy as the human asked them, whether they want to come and bent down to eye level to show them respect, which signifies that you are willing to work as partners. He didn't start ordering them and first tried to be more comfortable. They knew that they have made the right choice and mentally thanked the one who selected the chosen one. They knew their children were safe with him.
The two kids looked at their parents who nodded after which they jumped into his arms, he started petting them and playing with them. They barked their names as he continued playing with them. It was the first time that they had been allowed to talk much less to play with a human. They were savoring every moment of this. He told them about his mother his house and talked with them. The voice of the female Riolu was softer and sweet than that of female. After god knows how much time he stood up again and spoke
"I will protect them from any harm, and we will live like a family" he stated firmly
the two parents mentally lauded the human and nodded.
"Now may I ask you a question?" the voice said.
"Yes you can" he replied.
"Are you travelling or staying at one place" the male Lucario asked.
"I am currently staying at home, but I will leave when I turn 13 years old and travel around to make more friends and catch a lot of Pokémon" he replied thoughtfully.
"Once you start travelling you can take our children with you, until then they will stay here and you can train with them"
"There is a problem, if I call Riolu then both of you will feel like I called you, so to remove the confusion can I name you, it will be a temporary name and we will change it once we start our journey. Is it okay with you" he asked
Both the Riolu's barked in approval. He thought for a minute and then said "You the male will be Rio and she will be Lu. Is it okay" he asked again.
They nodded in approval and clung onto him again.
"So now I think that I should continue with the book." he asked as all four of them got in front of him again.
"Wait, the knowledge on how to train you has been passed through our lineage, our parents told it when they were about to leave. These young ones do not know the details, but they know that they might have to follow you on your journey. We will be your mentor and will help you if there is any problem!" he replied.
"Thanks, I guess" he replies awkwardly due to the reason that a Pokémon will be his mentor.
"Now you can continue your training with the help of our children. May the Aura be with you" he said as all of them followed Ash who was now going towards the book to continue his quest to become an Aura Guardian….
When he reached the book, the second page was printing. He was still fascinated by the way the text appeared on the book. It was like someone was writing it now, elsewhere, and was seeing him doing the task and writing them as soon as he had completed the task. The writing was so beautiful that he was in a trance as the words were written. He finally broke out of it when someone nudged him from the side. He looked at the book to see the page was full now with two claw marks and one hand impression on the book.
He read the instructions which said
'Now as you have found your aura partner(s), you have to place your hand on the hand impression and ask your aura partner to do the same. If you have one aura partner like mine then you have to ask him / her to place both of his / her claws on the marks. If you have by chance two aura partners then you have to ask both of them to place their claws on the marks. This will merge your aura with them and from a aura bond. It will allow you to understand their native language, once they have evolved. You will be connected to them and will always be able to locate each other no matter the distance and barriers. Your aura signature has changed slightly. You can share your memories with each other, if you want, and finally you can also allow your partner to see your thoughts and intentions that also if you want.
There are also some other benefits which you will learn as you experience different things together, they are better unsaid. So now you have to place your hand…and see the magic'
He read the entire thing aloud so that all of them can understand it.
"So should we get started" He asked the baby duo who were listening attentively.
They both nodded eagerly and jumped on the table.
As he placed his hand on the designated spot, he could feel a lot of power coming from the book, he nudged the duo, who placed their paws on the required spot. There was a glow as the body of the trio was engulfed in a blue light. They could feel different, as like some part of their body has been lost and an improved part has been added. The glow faded as the three of them relaxed.
They removed their hands from the books and backed a little bit. The page again turned as to reveal a new path and a new adventure.

This time lines were printed instead of letters, only one page was written. This time also there was a single print of the claw on the bottom of the page. He could feel a wave of excitement from his partners. He read the next task aloud again which said:
'Now as you have found your aura partner, you are required to go through physical training. You have to increase your stamina and speed. Go through different types of exercises. You have to learn how to fight, spar with your partner, and develop different types of fighting styles to help you in the future. You have to follow a strict schedule as to develop your muscles. Jog daily and increase the time of jogging as you progress. The two Lucario will help you in your training, once you have completed your basic exercises and could hold on your own against Lucario for around ten minutes then ask one of them to place their claws on the print given below. If the Lucario deemed you worthy then you will be able to progress, do not hold back and give it all you can muster up. They will start your training from now and will inform you of various exercises and routines that are to be followed by you. Do not hesitate to ask them any question which may pop up in your mind. Train your partner with you and grow up to become the best.
Note: - You will progress much faster in here but you have to follow your routine in the real world also, this process may take up to a year. You have to spar against him in the real world. :)'
He finished reading the note aloud.
'So' Ash thought 'no more aura training from now, just have to become more physically fit.'
"Now as you can see, we must teach you from now as you have to become fit physically. You will be able to manipulate aura more easily, when you have a lot of stamina, it will increase as you continue to work hard and maybe after an year we can resume our aura training" Lucario told him telepathically.
"So, do you have any questions before we start our training?" Lucario asked him again
After thinking a bit he asked
"Actually I do, I have an Eevee with me can I bring her here?"
"not now, you will get some items and instruments as you progress, once you have got the item you will be able to bring her in here" the female Lucario answered
"What type of item will I get" he asked confused
"Only time will tell" this time the male Lucario replied
"Any more questions" The female Lucario asked again
"Yes, I have" he thought for a second and said "two more, I guess" he said
"Ask them away" the telepathic voice buzzed again
"Can I bring these two" pointing to Rio and Lu "out with me to train, you know outside this place. By the way what is this place called?" he asked
"We were told when he welcomed the Queen here he said 'Welcome to my Sanctum Sanctorum', so I think you can call this place Sanctum Sanctorum" the male Lucario said satisfying his curiosity.
"Good enough, so yeah about bringing those two outside"
"No, we cannot afford to allow anyone to see you with your Pokémon until you leave your house"
"But how will I train with them outside if they cannot go out, and how will I be able to learn to spar outside this place, sure I could spar against you here but I need to know how to do that outside too" he argued
"Hmmmm….." he heard a humming voice inside his head
"You do not have a safe place outside"
Ash was about to interrupt but he raised his voice a little and continued
"But we think that we can go outside, if you really want"
He was interrupted by ash this time
"Yes I really want" he said eagerly
"Ok, just listen first. We can go outside me and my mate will not help you with your training, but we can keep a watch using our aura so that no one interrupts you or can watch your activity." the male Lucario finished
"You can train with our kids. one of us might help you, if you are having a problem but nothing more than that. Is that understood?" this time the Female Lucario asked
"Yes, now for the last question. If I am tired after training can I come back here to re energize my body or should I do it by natural means."
"It's your will, sometimes you may want to do it naturally and sometimes here. It does not matter. this place is the richest place in aura and can never be exhausted so you do not have to worry about this place being destroyed if you use it too much"
"Oh I was worried about it, thanks for clearing it." he said gratefully
"So should we start your training"
"No, I have one more question"
"..."
