Jarceus: Hello and welcome to chapter 37 of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Helpers. I hope you will all enjoy.

Firesage101: Awesome canr wait for more. the battle was something else, even for trianing.

Aura: Hey! You hear that Jarceus? You did something good for once.

Jarceus: Aura. I regret making you.

Jarod: As you should.

Aura: HEY! What is that supposed to mean?

Ultimate Leviathan: It's pretty difficult to make a hollow sword, fill it with sand, AND have it be sturdy enough for practicality. That's quite impressive.

Gallade: Did you expect anything less of a master such as myself?

Aura: A) We had to use the whole log. B) It took us ten tries. C) I used aura to keep it together and finally, D) I did most of the work.

Gallade: Good memory, Aura. I wasn't expecting you to remember how hard it was making that sword.

Last Time

"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

Now

It has been a week and a half since Christy joined in on Aura and Gallade's training. In that time the two kids formed a stronger friendship. Soon enough they met an Ampharos who had the worst sense of direction, joined the Junior Exploration Society, battled a fake Giratina and were now planning on leaving for Lively Town, the main town that rested a whiles away from Serene Village. But right now they were preoccupied with their mock fight with Gallade.

"Come on you two. I know you can do better." Stated Gallade as he dodged an Ember from Christy only for Aura to try and kick his head downwards. Sadly for the fighting-type he was flung away by a Psychic

"Aura! Are you ready?" Shouted Christy as she opened her mouth wide causing a small blue ball to materialise in front of her while Aura flipped onto his feet next to her and put his hands towards the growing orb making it grow bigger before shrinking down.

"As ready as ever." He smirked as the two jumped away from each other, and Aura Sphere in Aura's hand and a second one in Christy's mouth.

"Come at me, Aura." Taunted Gallade doing doing the 'come at me' taunt

"Alright." Smirked Aura as he disappeared only to reappear behind Gallade and try to slam the Aura Sphere into his back, only for the psychic-type to jump away at the last second, sadly this earned him an Aura Sphere into the back before he was blasted towards Aura and his Aura Sphere, in which he received as an uppercut, sending him into the air before Christy appeared above him and tackled him back down to earth, causing a small crater where they landed before Aura came and hit Gallade on the side of the neck "And you lost." He smirked as he helped his teacher up onto his feet

"You two did well. I have to say that you need to work on your speed." Stated Gallade "At anytime I could have kicked either Christy away causing that Aura Sphere to explode on the one left behind. I also could have teleported away causing the Aura Sphere to possible hit Christy, or I could have teleported when I was sent up into the sky, making Christy fall to the ground by herself. I also could have abused teleport and dodged all of your attacks." He explained getting nods from the two kids "Well, I will see you both tomorrow." He said as he turned to leave only to get poked on the back by Aura "Yes?"

"Hey, Gallade? Can you take us on a 'Training Trip'?" Asked Aura gaining Gallade's interest

"Aura, did you do something bad again? Or do you have another reason?" He asked, staring deep into Aura's eyes

"Christy and I want to go to Lively Town. It's safer for everyone there." Answered Aura, whispering the last part to himself

"Why?" Asked Gallade turning his glance from Aura to Christy, who compared to Aura couldn't keep her composure as well

"You see, Gallade, when Nuzleaf found me I was being chased by Beheeyem, and they've been seen around here. I don't want to put everyone in danger." Answered Christy spilling the beans, so to say.

"Does it have to do with how your aura is more tightly sealed than normal a pokémon's one?" Asked Gallade while his eyes lit up blue as everything for him turned different shades of blue only inside of Christy was a green ball of energy, approximately the size of her chest but was moving a lot and inside of Aura was an amethyst aura, also the size of his chest and moving violently, only everywhere else in his body was covered in a red aura

"How did you?" Asked Christy surprised as Gallade's eyes stopped glowing

"Aura taught me how to see aura in trade for me teaching him how to teleport. I'm not as good as I'd hope to be, nor am I, as much as I hate to admit it, as good at it as Aura is." Stated Gallade making Christy sigh

"Gallade, can you keep a secret?" She asked staring into the psychic-fighting-type's eyes

"Yes, you can, Christy." Nodded Gallade

"I'm not a natural pokémon. I'm a human." Admitted Christy making Gallade nod

"I had a suspicion as such. Your aura was too sealed off from a normal pokémon's, it's focused highly in your chest. Legends about humans say that unless they were Aura Guardians their aura was tightly compact into a small sphere, directly above the heart. But since you have used aura, thanks to Aura, your aura is less sealed and more flowing, but it is still sealed in your chest." Explained Gallade as he walked behind a tree and came back a few minutes later with an Explorer's Bag. "You two better prepare. We'll leave under the cover of night, that way we won't have to deal with the more… feral… pokémon." He stated before teleporting away, leaving the two kids alone

"Soo, Christy, do you want to talk about… you know?" Asked Aura awkwardly

"No. No, I don't, Aura." Growled Christy making Aura sigh

"You know you can't hold it against me forever." He said

"True. But next time tell me when you go to do it." She sighed

"Yeah. I just hope the next time our enemy won't know what the problem with it is." Nodded Aura

"Also, did Gallade lie about my aura or did you?" Asked Christy, noticing the conflicting messages

"Meh, your aura has calmed down now. It's not bouncing all over your body like a child high on sugar." Shrugged Aura as the two separated for the day, not noticing the shadows watching them from the tree tops

"They are quite powerful. Is that why you are so interested in them?" Asked one of the two shadows walking out revealing himself to be a Shaymin

"Yeah. Something like that." Smirked a voice as he fired a ball of dark energy into Shaymin's back, turning him into stone "And another one is down. I do feel sad about doing this, but my master gets what he wants." He shrugged as he stepped out of the shadows slightly showing a black Ninetales with glowing red eyes "Oh, hello there." He greeted as he fired a ball of shadows into the forest turning a Cosmog into stone

"Ah." Shrieked a terrified Teddiursa to herself silently as she watched two 'legendary' pokémon get turned to stone, mere minutes apart, from inside a tree trunk

"Oh? Is someone there?" Asked Ninetales as he poked his head in the trunk spotting the Teddiursa and a few bud-type pokémon, which he turned to stone, leaving a tree full of pokémon statues. After making sure no-one was around he walked away, before a patch of fur changed from black to a dark orange before returning to black, not noticing the invisible figure of Dusknoir above him

'I found you, Nine Tailed Petrifier.' He growled in his head as he followed Ninetales before the fire-type teleported away 'DAMN IT!' He screamed in his mind as he sunk into the shadows and made a bad dash back to Lively Town.

Jarceus: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I also hope to see you all next time.

Aura: Villain alert! We found a main villain!

Christy: No, more like minion. He said 'but my master gets what he wants.' Meaning, he's just a minion.

Dusknoir: And that so called 'minion' turned Shaymin, a Cosmog and an entire tree of pokémon… INTO ARCEUS-DAMNED STATUES!

Aura: We're fucked aren't we?

Jarod: Probably. I just had a thought. Mostly characters who have some kind of point in this chapter appear in these segments. Why do I mostly always appear?

Jarceus: I have my reasons.
