Jarceus: Hello and welcome to chapter 35 of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Helpers. I hope you will all enjoy.
Firesage101: love the Naruto reference. i feel slightly sorry for the rhydon. i have no idea how i posted comments twice last chapter.
Jarceus: Neither do I, but Rhydon is going to get some kind of help.
Rhydon: I fear for my life.
Jarod: As you should.
Last Time
"I'm Lucario. And YOU are in serious trouble. I'm going to take you down." Stated Lucario as Rhydon noticed the scarf around his neck
"An evolution scarf? Now that's something rare. I might be able to sell it off your corpse for a pretty poké." Smirked Rhydon as he walked towards Lucario only to have an Aura Sphere shoved into his stomach.
"Aura? Are you there?" Asked a voice in Lucario's head
"Oh great." "Now isn't a good time for this, Espurr!" He growled back as he avoided Hammer Arm from Rhydon only to just avoid a Focus Blast "HOLY CRAP!" He shouted through telepathy accidentally
"Aura! What's going on?" Asked Christy's voice through telepathy, obviously concerned
"Pancham had to be an idiot and charged straight in, getting himself injured a bit, nothing an Oran Berry didn't fix, but then he had to go and piss of a Rhyhorn, WHICH BY THE WAY, evolved into a Rhydon! So now, I'm being chased by a Rhydon in the School Forest while I send Pancham and Shelmet to get help." Explained Aura before he forced the connection to cease, just as another Hammer Arm, Focus Blast Combo almost hit him "Alright then. I was going to only use normal attacks but you forced my hand." He growled as his hands started glowing blue from the aura covering them
"Fine then. Hammer Arm!" Called out Rhydon as his fist was covered in a pure white energy
"Eight Trigrams! Eight Force Palms!" Called out Aura as he closed the gape between the two and started throwing Force Palm after Force Palm at Rhydon only for him to counter with the Hammer Arm causing small bursts of Aura to fly into the air before Aura stopped using Force Palm and took a Hammer Arm to the face, making him fly into a tree, only stopping when he went through three trees.
"Too weak." Growled Rhydon before he turned around "Now I'll get those two damned kids for waking me up." He continued not noticing what was happening to Aura before he felt something burning his left ankle. Looking down Rhydon was shocked to see a tendril of blue energy was wrapped around his ankle
"Heh heh heh." Laughed Aura darkly as the aura wrapped around Rhydon's ankle forced him upside down in the air before Aura exploded into a tower of amethyst aura, alerting everyone to their current position.
Now
"Come on you two!" Called Christy as she looked behind her to Carracosta and Simipour
"Call down, Christy." Suggested Simipour as the two passed by an evolution scarf
"Fine. Wait, what was that?" Asked Christy as she realised what they passed "It's an evolution scarf… Oh god." She said to herself as she noticed a blood stain on it.
"What is this doing here?" Asked Carracosta as he picked it up only to notice a name on one side of the scarf "Oh Arceus. This is Aura's evolution scarf." He said horrified before a Rhydon flew passed the three
"Ahh!" Cried out Christy in fright as Rhydon got up slowly as he glared at a Lucario who was covered in an amethyst aura
"Gr." Grunted Rhydon as his arm started glowing white "Hammer Arm!" He called out as he ran towards the Lucario
"Haaaaa." Breathed Lucario primally as he waited until Rhydon was almost in front of him before he fired an Aura Sphere into his stomach, cracking his hide
"Carracosta, can you put the evolution scarf on me?" Requested Christy getting a nod from the fossil pokémon as he put the scarf around Christy's neck making her evolve into a Delphox "Mystical Fire!" She called out as she created a ring of fire before she shot a massive beam of fire at Lucario's back, only for the aura around him to block it
"Haaa." Breathed Lucario as he turned towards Christy before disappearing before reappearing as he kicked Christy into a tree before he grabbed her by the neck
"Gah." Gasped Christy as her flow of oxygen cut off making her have to think quickly
"Hydro Pump!" Called out Simipour and Carracosta as they blasted Lucario off of Christy, who gasped in as much air as her lungs could contain
"Hammer Arm!" Shouted a voice as Rhydon punched Lucario back towards Carracosta and Simipour
"HAHA!" Laughed Lucario as he flipped mid-air and covered himself in his amethyst aura, intent on charging straight through the two
"Protect!" Called out Carracosta as he created a green shield of energy around himself and Simipour making Lucario bounce off of the shield and fly towards Christy
"Fire Punch!" She called out as she socked Lucario square in the face, knocking him to the ground before he stood up and put his paws together, forming a small amethyst orb in between them.
"I don't know you three but I want to live thank you. So I'll work with you on this." Growled Rhydon as he stood next to Carracosta before he felt the power coming off of the orb between Lucario's paws "Holy!" He screamed before Lucario smirked at the four before he fired a massive beam of amethyst aura at them
"Mystical Fire!" Shouted Christy as she created a ring of fire before firing a beam of fire at the beam of aura, slowing it down a little
"Hyper Beam!" Called out Rhydon as he fired a massive dark crimson beam next to the beam of fire, helping to slow down the aura beam
"Hydro Pump!" Called out Carracosta and Simipour as they fired two beams of compressed water into the mix, stopping the beam of aura from moving
"Haaa." Breathed Lucario as he put more power into his attack making it slowly inch towards Christy and the others
"Flame Wheel!" Shouted a voice as a wheel of flames hit Lucario in the side making his aura beam lose some power making the other's beam start inching towards him before the wheel came back again, only to be caught be a tendril of aura, revealing it to be a Rhydon doll "Flamethrower!" Called the voice again as a massive plume of fire shot at Lucario making him lose all concentration on keeping his aura into his attack in favour of glaring at where the voice came from only to see the backside of a Ninetales before he was hit by the combined force of Rhydon, Carracosta, Simipour and Christy, forcing the amethyst aura that surrounded him to disperse before he glowed and changed back into the recognisable form of Aura.
"Aura?" Asked Christy in concern as she took off the evolution scarf, reverting back to a Fennekin
"Gah, what happened to me?" Asked Aura confused, and with a searing headache before the events of what just happened flashed through his mind "Oh Arceus! Did I hurt anyone?" He asked concerned
"Not really, kid. Unless you count me." Growled Rhydon as he pointed at his stomach, which was still very much cracked
"Sorry about that Rhydon." Apologised Aura, bowing slightly
"Don't be. I let me anger get the better of me again. I deserved it." Growled Rhydon before he started walking away out of site before he turned into a Dusknoir "I don't know why you wanted to see what the Riolu could do." He said to someone around him as a Ninetales dropped down next to him
"Oh come on, Dusknoir. I wanted to see what he could do for my reasons, you should know this by now." Smirked Ninetales making Dusknoir sigh
"I should be used to it by now, shouldn't I…Battle?" He asked his friend
"Yeah. But wow! I wasn't suspecting that Aura Cannon. I actually had to get involved." Smirked Battle as he watched Aura, Christy, Carracosta and Simipour walk back towards Serene Village, staring at Aura as he passed 'I don't know who exactly you are… but I will find out why you appear in my dreams…Aura.' He thought to himself as he jumped off towards Lively Town to give his monthly report to Ampharos.
Jarceus: And that will be all for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed so far.
Battle: Why do I find an interest in young Aura, why is he in my damned dreams? Jarceus knows.
Aura: Hm. I know what it's like having someone constantly in your dreams.
Christy: You do?
Aura: Yeah. I constantly see Battle and another Ninetales in my dreams.
Jarod: Is it me? OH GOD! IT'S ME ISN'T IT?!
Jarceus: Maybe, maybe not. You aren't the only Ninetales.
Jarod: True, but I'm the only Ninetales that has any sort of spirit-like bond with Battle.
Battle: This is true…sadly…
