A/N: Okay this chapter will constantly go back and forth between Dante in Unova and Shenzi in Kanto. I apologize if you have trouble following what's going on but I will try and make the setting obvious.
"Abandon all hope those who enter this cave" That message was carved alongside the walls of the cave, written in various languages and sizes.
"That's rather grim don't you think?" Shenzi asks Luccy who she had caught up to. "Good way to keep undesirables out." He answers smoothly. "And we are undesirables right?" She asks again. The man in the suit grins and answers with a simple "Yup" that made Shenzi very mad at gold for running off like that.
"What do you think is at the end of this cave?" Shenzi asks rather worried. "Legend says there's a very powerful pokemon here, but not just any pokemon. Some say he was made not born." Luccy answers with a rather calm tone.
A slight growl began to be heard from the darkness; Shenzi began to loose the ability to see beyond a certain point and was unable to identify what was making that noise. Claw marks started to appear alongside the cave and the growling began to grow with intensity.
"What do you mean he was not born? Even some of the legendary pokémons where born out of eggs" Shenzi asked with an incredulous look in her face. "No idea, he could be a genetically engineered pokemon, a very old legendary or even one of the originals. With this much power I'm somewhat inclined to the last two choices." Luccy answered without even looking away from the depths of the cave.
"Oh great, and with Gold as pumped as he is I wont be able to back away from this one." Shenzi says out loud clearly showing stress in her voice. A sly smile and soft snickering was released by Gold who was walking next to Shenzi.
Back in Unova Dante had decided that it was time to continue his journey but this time with a slight deviation, He and Bonnie must find the couple who will teach Dante all he needs to know.
"So any idea as to where we can begin looking when we reach pinwheel forest?" Dante asks out loud. "Well… we can look for them around the forest or hmmm… I might have an idea but it might be dangerous." Bonnie answers worried that Dante will take that option. Dante smiles, looks towards Bonnie and says: "Great, let's do it then."
"So why do you think the couple will be in this forest?" Dante asks trying to break the silence which he dreaded. Bonnie looked at him while walking, his silver hair flowed freely with the wind and his now exposed silver eyes seemed to have a design etched on them. She noticed she hadn't answered him when Dante burrowed his brow in confusion. Bonnie then blushes, looks away and answers.
"Uhm… Nacrene city is right after this so maybe they are just passing through." Bonnie answers after getting her bearings. She didn't know why but after Dante's aura was slightly released she has not been able to get her eyes away from him.
His perfect silver eyes shone against the light and resembled two full moons, his hair was brushed back, seemed unruly yet looked perfectly okay. His teeth where amazingly white with his canines elongated and resembled fangs. All about Dante seemed fear-inducing and yet she just couldn't resist him. Even his scent was magnificent, he smelled like the sea; perfectly crisp and alluring… Wait a second!
"DANTE!" Bonnie screamed. Dante nearly had a heart attack as Bonnie had switched from quiet and meek back to her loud and imposing attitude. "What!? What's wrong!? Do you sense something?" Dante blurted out; His nails grew into claws out of pure instinct and before he knew it he was ready for battle.
"Your scent, why is it so powerful? You are not fighting or even exerting yourself." Bonnie explained. Dante seemed confused, his brow was once again burrowed and he proceeded to lift his arm and smell his armpit. "What are you talking about? I took a shower before we set off and I don't smell bad." Dante says still confused.
"Not like that you fool, when someone exerts aura through the pores in his body the energy reacts with your sweat glands and gives off a unique scent. I can smell your aura and yet I can't feel it like if you where exerting it." Bonnie explained.
"I… I don't know… I feel fine and normal… I'm pretty new to this, remember." Dante says feeling defensive. Bonnie focused her eyes and concentrates while staring at his traveling companion. She then proceeds to focusing her aura in the back of her head and eyes. Her eyes widened in surprise and fear at what she sees.
"You are pretty good at focusing your aura my dear." Luccy comments while trying to calm Shenzi who was being affected by the magnitude of the aura in the cave. "uhh Thanks… I learned when I was little." She says while blushing a little. "You must have a pretty good teacher, most people take decades to be able to muster enough aura to do that for half the time." He comments with a soothing tone.
"Yeah, my best friend's dad taught me… the man used his own aura to release my own and then he taught me how to use it." She explained. Luccy seemed intrigued and continued making remarks and asking question while they slowly approached the end of the cave. After Shenzi elaborated about her daily life, her tastes and her training in aura Luccy decided to change the subject to one that had bothered him.
"So tell me about this best friend of yours." He says. "Oh well Dante is great, little too romantic and yet fearsome but he is a very loyal friend. We have played together ever since we are three. For his age he is very smart and strong. He is a lot like his father just that for some reason his skin won't get any darker no matter how much sun he tries to soak up." She answers now very calm in contrast to her previous answers
"Hmmm… This Dante must be very powerful with a father that could release somebody else." Remarked Luccy. "Well you see… Sir Drake asked me not to breathe a word about my training to his son. As far as I know Dante doesn't know how to use aura… yet." She answers.
Luccy's eyes widened when he heard the names "Dante" and "Drake". Dante was the target of the organization he was part of and said target's friend just happened to pop up while he was in the middle of a mission. And he also knew now that Dante was truly a feared being, not knowing a thing about auras or his own powers yet he was able to defeat two of his comrades using just that.
"Is everything okay?" Shenzi asks worried about the gentleman's expression. Luccy comes back to his senses, places his hat on his head and answers her. "Yeah I'm okay, just that I wasn't expecting you to say "Sir Drake"." He began saying. "He is a very famous character; yet I didn't even know he had a son." He lied. Behind his smooth and calm face hid a dark grin and a new plan.
"Will you please stop being so cryptic and tell me what's going on?" Dante sighed in exasperation as Bonnie paced back and forth before him. "Well… uhm… I don't know how to say this…" Bonnie mouthed off as she kept pacing. "Stop, you are getting me dizzy and please just say what's happening." Dante says while placing both his hands on Bonnie's shoulders trying to stop the Naga from digging a hole with her heels.
"Okay… I'm going to say a lot now; so just stand back, don't interrupt and don't ask questions until I'm done." She starts. Dante looks at her with an interested expression; he then nods signaling that he accepted her terms. Bonnie sighs and begins to explain.
"As you know all living beings give off this energy we call aura, some call it magic or chi and other stuff. That energy is our life force, when we eat our bodies break down the food and store what we don't use as fat. Well, when you are "released" your body takes that fat and breaks it down to beyond a molecular level into energy, this energy is unique to all living things and carries traits like color, scent, magnitude, sound and even kinetic traits. Your aura is silver in color, smells like seawater, is naturally colossal and it appears to have an interesting music but I wasn't really able to hear it well since you where growling and howling. Okay now to the subject at hand, when a person is calm their aura is barely noticeable like a film a few millimeters tick above your skin, but you… you are downright expelling a huge amount of aura but since its not hostile I can't feel or see it unless I try hard… and this huge amount of aura is forming an image above you, This image tells me a lot about you… and it also tells me that you might be… that you might be not human after all…" She explains putting a pained tone on her last words. She knew that the one thing that bothered Dante was that he probably wasn't human and now he had confirmation.
Something bothered Shenzi very much, not the fact that she was walking towards a being with an aura the size of a behemoth or that her companion was a lying criminal that probably was also a murdering sociopath since she didn't knew either of those facts. What was bothering her was that she had been walking for over an hour and yet she hadn't felt a change in the beast's aura for a good while. The beast was tuning his powers down the closer they got. But, why would he do that? Why would a beast of incredible power tune down his powers as two intruders where walking towards his lair. In the cave there where no geodudes or zubats which meant the beast kept them at bay, probably by showing off his colossal aura and yet here he was weakening. Then it hit her.
"Wait, I think this is a trap." She claimed. "What do you mean a trap?" He asked. Shenzi tried to answer him but a wave of aura exploded from within the cave knocking her and Gold unconscious. Luccy was pushed back a little but still conscious, he mustered his aura into his fist forming a thin white sword. "Well looks like we got a fight in our hands." He exclaims. He then tried to move forward but noticed something was wrong, the source of the aura had moved. Not away from them but actually right behind him.
He turned around just to receive a direct hit from the beast's aura directly to the face rendering him unconscious.
A hooded creature stood before their unconscious bodies, it returned its three fingered hand back in his cloak and stared at the two humans and a pokemon that where unconscious before him. "The male is strong but the female was able to see through my diversion…" His voice resonated from with the darkness of his hood. "I guess I won't kill them until they can defend themselves." He said as he reached out to Shenzi and Luccy and dragged them deeper into the cave.
"Show me." Dante had ordered with a straight look in his face, His normal kind face had turned cold and hard. "Don't move." Bonnie looked down and placed her hand on his chest right above an old scar. A purple bubble of aura had appeared on his chest it then turned bright silver and expanded to surround both Dante and Bonnie.
An image started to appear around Dante, to his right a silver wolf had appeared with blue light shining through his eyes. To his left appeared a Shark that seemed to be made out of ice with silver light shining out of his eyes. Dante looked at them, then noticed his right arm seemed to have a gauntlet that covered to his shoulders with lunar designs and his claws where shining silver, He then turned to his left to notice a similar gauntlet made out of ice with a shark fin on the side. Dante was stupefied but that was not all; a shadow formed above him. Dante looked above and saw a creature he never expected to see in his life. A Dragon, a dragon that seemed to have been made out of ebony with crimson eyes towered above Dante, its wings extended to reveal an intricate design that resembled a dark fire and the scales on his chest seemed to be adorned with a beautiful crimson gem in the very center of his chest. That's when Dante noticed that his forehead had been adorned with a circlet; the circled was made out of ebony with the borders adorned with crimson gems and at the very centre a dragon head sat between his eyebrows.
A/N: Okay so I feel like my writing is deteriorating the more I go into this story. For some reason I find it harder and harder to come up with good things to write and so I feel this is mediocre at best. I would really apreciate it if you guys gave me tips or could point out the main problems with the plot so I can fix them
