Ch 50: The Burning Strike

Ryan woke up to find Latias already awake polishing her sword.

"Wow your up early." Ryan said.

"I am eager to learn the Burning Strike." She said.

"Lets not waste any time then." Ryan said grabbing his blade. "The name is misleading because the blade is not really on fire. You see everyone has an energy the flows through their body but few really know how to summon it. Every special attack I teach you from now on uses this energy."

"How does it work?" She asked.

"Well start by concentrating on the center of your hands." Ryan said putting down the sword as the palms of his hands began to glow.

"OK." She said.

No matter how hard she tried she could not summon the power.

"It won't work." She said.

"As I expected." Ryan said. "Close your eyes and clear your mind, listen to the world around you and you will feel the energy within your body."

Latias closed her eyes and listened to everything around her, as she did she could feel a strange current flowing through her body.

"I feel it." She said.

"Very good!" Ryan said. "Tell me, what does the power feels like?"

"Like a river." Latias said. "It's fast and uncontrollable."

"Now concentrate on the energy and begin to take control of it." Ryan said. "Bend it to your will."

Latias began to concentrate on the energy that flowed through her body. After several hours the river began to quiet and become slow and placid.

"The river has calmed." Latias said with her eyes still closed.

"Good." Ryan said. "Now try and send the energy to the palms of your hands."

Latias's palms began to glow as the energy flowed to her hands.

"Now open your eyes and look down." Ryan said.

Latias looked at her hands and saw they were glowing. The glow quickly disappeared.

"I did it." She said.

"Now that you know what the energy feels like can you feel it now?" Ryan asked.

"Yes." She said. "Just barely."

"Good, now try and send the energy into your hands again." Ryan said.

Latias began to send the energy into her hands and they started glowing.

"Very nice." Ryan said. "Now take your sword and send the energy into the blade."

Latias went to grab a training blade but Ryan stopped her.

"No your blade," Ryan said. "We only use training blades when we spar."

Latias picked up her blade and began to try and send the energy into the blade, as she did the blade slowly began to glow with red and orange energy.

"Very nice." Ryan said. "You can release the energy now."

As she did the blade returned to normal and Latias was out of breath.

"Not bad for your first try." Ryan said. "As you train you will be able to call on the energy faster and be able to hold it longer."

"How long does it take you to ready the Burning Strike?" Latias asked.

Ryan picked up his blade and it erupted in red and orange energy.

"Wow." She said.

"The truth is this is not really an attack but a way to power up you blade." Ryan said releasing the energy. "This is not without it's risks."

"What are the risks?" Latias asked.

"It drains your energy as you just found out." Ryan said. "If you stay in this form for too long you will pass out from the energy drain."

"Why were you able to keep it up for so long at turnback cave?" Latias asked.

"I have been using these powers for several years." Ryan said. "The more you use the energy the more energy you will have over time."

"I see." She said. "How do you block it?"

"The only way to block a Burning Strike is with another Burning Strike." Ryan said. "Until you can hold the form for five minuets we really can't train with it."

"Is there anyway I can feel what your energy feels like?" Latias asked.

"Yes." Ryan said. "Come into my mind."

Ryan allowed Latias into his mind where he began to concentrate on his energy. Ryan's energy moved fast but was under his complete control. He began to slow his energy almost to a complete stop then let it return to it's normal speed. Ryan had a massive amount of energy in his body from years of using it. Just then a knock on the door broke their concentration and Latias pulled out of Ryan's mind.

"Who is it?" Ryan asked.

"Take a wild guess." A female voice said.

Ryan opened the door to find Mew standing there.

"Mew!" Latias said flying up and hugging her.

"What have you been up to?" Ryan asked.

"Well I just got back from Full Moon island." Mew said. "I wanted to how everyone was doing. While I was there I picked up a couple of hitchhikers."

"Hitchhikers?" Ryan asked.

Just then something big shot into the room into the room and knocked Ryan to the ground. It was Misty.

"Misty it's you!" Ryan said giving her a kiss.

"Told you I would be back." She said.

"Your early." Ryan said. "I though you were going to be gone for a month."

"Well at the start of mating season I found a mate and after we mated and I laid my egg I came right back to Full Moon island." She said letting Ryan up. "I brought my mate with me I was wondering if you can help him find his trainer."

"What's his trainer's name?" Ryan asked.

"Felix." She said.

Ryan's jaw dropped.

"By any chance is your mates name Seliss?" Ryan asked.

"How did you know?" Misty asked.

"Felix is here with me." Ryan said. "Lets go get him."

Ryan and the group headed down stairs and out into the backyard.

"Felix where are you?" Ryan yelled.

"Right here." He said with Ebony following. "Whats up?"

"Felix its good to see you again." Seliss said.

"Seliss your back early." Felix said. "Did you find a mate?"

"Yea." He said. "Her name is Misty."

"Ryan thats the name of your Milotic isn't it?" Felix asked.

"Yep." Ryan said. "Well at least we don't have to break up the couple."

"Is there a lake anywhere around here?" Misty asked.

"Yea a little ways north of here." Ryan said.

"My Dragonair Dream is there." Felix said.

"Looks like we will have some company." Misty said. "See you all later."

Misty is back and Seliss is her mate, looks like things worked out.
