Last Time
"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.
Now
It was a normal morning. Flying-type bird pokémon were chirping, flowers were blooming. Aura was fighting a Gallade in his normal form with a wooden sword. You know, the average things.
"HYA!" Grunted Aura as he sliced at Gallade only for the psychic type to dodge it and use his arm blades to try and cut Aura, luckily the emanation pokémon ducked under the swipe and jumped away
"You're getting better at wielding a sword." Complemented Gallade, keeping a critical eye on all of Aura's movements
"Thank you, Gallade." Thanked Aura, using aura to make everything seem slower so he can keep up with Gallade's movements as he charge towards the small jackal and tried to knock him over with a sweep of the leg, which Aura jumped over before kicking Gallade in the chest before chasing after him with sword in hand and aimed a downwards slash at his chest, only for Gallade to block it with his arm blades.
"So? Are you finally using aura to enhance your perception of reality and reaction time? Last time I did that you fell for it, literally." Taunted Gallade as he pushed Aura into the air while also making his sword go flying away, before Aura teleported next to it and started spinning in mid-air before he shot at Gallade at high speeds, forcing the blade pokémon to jump out of the way, only to notice light blue strings attacked to his torso "What is this?" He asked as he noticed that Aura was using the strings to fly at him and around the area
"Aura Meteor!" He shouted as he flew passed Gallade's face, just missing him before he stopped spinning and landed in the ground, head first before he started spinning again and dug into the ground making Gallade go on guard before Aura burst out of the ground spinning at Gallade only to be knocked away only to dig back into the ground
"Where are you?" Asked Gallade to himself
"GALLADE!" Shouted Aura as he dropped out of the sky and slashed down at Gallade only for the psychic-type to dodge at the last second, making Aura smirk before he dispersed into light and Aura to pop out of the ground and grab Gallade by the legs before dropping back in, pulling Gallade up to his head in dirt "Soo. Did I win?" Asked Aura as he popped out of the ground in front of Gallade
"You have shown a surprising amount of technique, sadly I haven't even begun to get serious." Stated Gallade as he teleported out of the hole and seemed to vanish, Aura however could feel the slight distortions of wind caused by high speed movement.
'Ok. Calm my mind.' Thought Aura to himself as he closed his eyes and calm his mind to help him send out waves of aura, which bounced off of everything around him, acting as a form of echolocation, showing him that Gallade was running around him in circles while someone he recognised was watching from behind a tree 'Now I know what to do.' He thought to himself as he waiting until Gallade was almost directly in front of him before he stuck out his foot making Gallade trip over and fall flat on his face before he dispersed into light making Aura jump up over Gallade as he tried what Aura just did, only this time Aura jumped on his face before using aura to blast Gallade further into the ground before Aura shot into the air and create a small Aura Sphere in between his hands, it was about the size of a tennis ball and not very dense "Aura Sphere!" He shouted as he fired the attack at the still prone Gallade, landing a direct hit, or so he thought before Gallade appeared behind him and kicked him back to the ground, doing a little flip while doing so, before he teleported back to the ground, grabbed Aura and chopped the side of his neck with his hand gently.
"I win." He said simply as he dropped Aura down on the ground
"Damn. I almost had you there." Growled Aura as he got back onto his feet and picked up his sword from behind a tree
"Please, if you were pushing me to my limits then I would have to have second thoughts on how strong I am." Smirked Gallade as he mega-evolved just to show what he meant
"Fine, I still think the fact you can mega-evolve on your own is absolute bull-crap." Sighed Aura as he put the sword on his back and used his aura to keep in there
"I think you would." Chuckled Gallade as he pat Aura on the head "And you can come out now, Fennekin." He stated as he turned towards a tree as Christy walked out from behind it, still surprised from the fight she just watched
"How? Where? When?" She asked in shock as she stared at Aura
"Gallade has been teaching me how to use a sword for about… two? Yeah, two years. And I got my attacks from my visions." Answered Aura smiling at Christy, and act which did not go unnoticed by Gallade
"Why? And how did you make a sword?" Asked Christy confused
"I can explain. You see, two years ago, I was travelling around the world and came upon this little village and decided to by some supplies. In the centre of town I encountered Aura, he was so upstart and cheerful yet his mind was much more mature than how he was acting that I became intrigued. So, I followed him out here and saw him hitting a dead log with a stick, so I watched for a while and noticed that he had good hand-eye coordination, so I walked up to him and asked him, 'Hello, youngling. Would you like to learn how to fight from me?' And I swear, that Aura gave me the biggest and happiest smile I'd ever seen up till that time and said yes in every way possible. All in a shout of course, so for the next two years, of course after making a deal with Carracosta, I have come here to train him after school and when he doesn't have school. Sometimes we spar and sometimes I teach him how to utilise his aura and unnatural ability to learn moves not seen from his species. In fact, I was the one who taught him how to teleport." Explained Gallade, proud of his student
"Gallade, she didn't need the speech." Sighed Aura, slightly embarrassed about being reminded about how he acted back then
"It's ok." Said Christy smiling "But, Mr. Gallade?" She asked
"Please, just call me Gallade. 'Mr. Gallade' just makes me feel weird." Stated Gallade
"Ok, Gallade, could you please help me get stronger?" Requested Christy
"Depends, what's your reasoning?" Asked Gallade as he stared Christy down
"I want to be able to help others. I… may not be from around here but It's enjoyable and peaceful here." Stated Christy getting a nod from Gallade before he walked away
"Meet us here after class tomorrow." He said before he disappeared leaving the two kids alone
"Wait, that didn't answer how you got a sword." Realised Christy
"Isn't it obvious? He used the log to carve a hollow sword and then we filled it with sand. His reasoning is that, 'being able to get used to the wait of a sword with no danger of killing others is the best way to train.'" Explained Aura, mimicking Gallade's voice as he quoted him
Jarceus: And that is all for this chapter! I hope you have all enjoyed.
Aura: I know I did, up until I lost that is.
Jarod: Please, if he used even one move besides teleport you would have lost.
Aura: HEY! That's not-
Christy: He's right you know.
Aura: Christy?! Who's side are you on?
Christy: Yours. But you have to admit you would have lost.
Aura: True…
