The next day in the morning, a Noivern was delivering mail from house to house and was heading to Cousteau's place as he was making breakfast.
The Noivern opens Cousteau's mailbox "WHAT THE HELL!?"
Kooper pops out of the mailbox "You got mail."
"How in the name of Arceus did you get into that mailbox!?" The Noivern asked.
"That's what I am wondering about."
Wait for a damn second! "There is no Pokemon of the likes of you that anyone has seen around here"
Are you assuming I am a Pokemon?
"Yes, yes I am because everyone else is, idiot. Just hand Cousteau the mail before I get fired for calling you an idiot." As she hands Kooper Cousteau's mail.
"I never said I was not one either."
Dam, kid. Anyway's my name is Noiwave, I work for the Pelipper post office.
"They call me, Kooper apparently," he says as he jumps out the mailbox and follows Noiwave".
Meanwhile, at Alexaris house, Rena wakes up confused and intrigued about the house she is in. She walks outside her room to see a box across the hallway which she runs and hides under it before Noiwave knocks on the door and Rena opens the door.
Noiwave looks down at the box "Alexaris, can you come and get your box and take your letter? I don't want my paycheck cut in half this week."
Rena quickly gets out of the box and runs back to the room slamming the door from behind her "What is happening-" She searches around in the cabinets and drawers, she does not find much except some items, many orbs relating to aura, an old Xbox 360 and a controller "Hmm this is intriguing- This must be the first manufactured versions of this console, hmm I'm surprised that it's in good condition."
She then connects the console on the tv that provided inputs, an HDMI connection places the left 4 dead discs inside the Xbox, sits somewhere to play, and starts playing with Randoms online.
Noiwave somehow unlocks the door with her claws and walks in and up to Rena with Kooper "What is this white box?" She proceeds to pick up the Xbox "and what is this big ass 42-inch rectangle? Alexaris is weird."
Rena gets up and gently gets it out of Noiwave's hands, to place the Xbox back on the desk and looks at her with discomfort.
Kooper walks off and looks into a closet "Wait... what is this!?" He proceeds to pick up a copy of Paper Mario that's me on the box!
Noiwave looks over him "WOAH! You're not lying! you did not tell me you were in... that thing."
Does this me Alexaris knew me this whole time and said nothing?
There is a letter behind the box: The letter is a map to the guild.
Behind the map is a note: I wish you the best of luck.
Kooper Looks at the back of the box "Mario Pals around in an all-new action-adventure?"
"Um, you forgot the letter, Kooper."
"Forget the letter, I need answers!"
Rena comes back wearing a Solid Snake cosplay outfit while holding a cardboard box.
Kooper turns around to look at Rena "Why are you dressed in as a terrorist?"
Noiwave looks at Rena with confusion and embarrassment before digging into the closet "Oh my Arceus! is that…" she pulls out a copy of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon what does this all mean!? why is there media of our people? we never knew of this!
And I never knew I was in a Nintendo 63, I mean 64, Nah 69!
Noiwave points one claw at Rena, as she starts squinting "Say some words before I lose my mind and puke fire out!"
"Umm- I-" Rena doesn't complete the sentence from pure nervousness But- I don't know what you mean.
"You said you knew me! so tell me more!" Kooper demands.
Rena slowly walks backward near the door, reaching for the doorknob, but she was pressed against the wall sweating and making a discomforted face" "It's not that- I just know you mostly cause you're familiar since I was a cub."
"Your freaking ghost said I "killed your brother" so I wanna know more about who I am!"
Rena felt genuinely discomforted upon thinking about it "The murder in that night, Or that specific day. There was a corpse of my brother that was "caused by falling off a building" With multiple Wounds and left in the middle of the street, it ended up becoming a terrifying scene. Kooper was part of the scene found by the international police and was pleading guilty to murder."
Noiwave gasp upon hearing her say that "Turn him in then, box girl!"
"That's the problem, I can't" Rena pulls out a 12 "There wouldn't be used in turning him in, because the international wouldn't help out. Always have to solve everything with violence."
"Are you trying to kill this kid or something?" Noiwave asked.
"I wouldn't consider him a kid. More like a murder."
Kids can be murders too, you know.
Rena points the gun at Kooper. There would be a sudden hatred with the energy of her aura that was flowing within her.
The corrupted Delphox appears behind Rena "Why are you hesitating to even shoot a kid? give me that!"
The Corrupted Delphox takes the gun away from Rena and starts shooting at Kooper, but the bullets reflect off of Kooper and hit her back. Noiwave takes Kooper and jumps out a window to scatter the letters everywhere outside and tells everyone to run for their life. The Delphox comes out of the house and walks towards them as Noiwave turns around to walks up while Kooper holds her tail. Rena flies into the air with a cypher, dropping c4s from the sky that Noiwave blew up with flamethrower before touching the ground. Noiwave flings Kooper into the air and knocks Rena off the cypher, pinning her down with her foot.
"Why don't you let her go, you Noivern?"
You two pointed a gun at some kid, what kind of dumbass question is that?
"Kooper falls on the Delphox What did you do that for, Noiwave!?"
"You make for a good shield, so I figured you would be a good weapon also" Noiwave answered.
"Hmm, you know I never thought of it that way."
Noiwave pulls out the Delphox's wand right before she throws Kooper at her and lands into his hand instead.
"Use it, kid!" Noiwave demanded.
"Umm... abracadabra?" Kooper activated an ember spell.
Multiple explosions go off in the background. The Corrupted Delphox runs Rena back to Cousteues house and set's her on a bed.
"Who the hell do you think you are just to come into someone's house!?"
"Either she just thought they were welcome after what happened yesterday, or Cousteau is gullible," Kooper said boldly.
"Both probably, and I am very disappointed in him. Kid, have you been staying there? If so, it's not a safe place to stay if you're under the same roof as two girls that tried to end you! I might not own this house, but these people gotta go!" Noiwave aggressively walks into the house up to the two with Kooper.
"What do you want now?" The Delphox asks Noiwave, as she closes a book she was reading.
Noiwave Sprays her with water "Don't talk back to me like you know what's going on! get out of this house because you tried to kill a kid!"
"You know what I shouldn't have hesitated in killing that kid. And besides, you have been an annoyance, you Noivern."
"I don't even understand why your presence had to be a thing in the first place. And besides, I'm only Rena's unconscious" The Corrupted Delphox goes Back inside Rena's spirit.
Rena kicks Noiwave's leg and runs up to the attic where she turns into a Delphox.
Kooper climbs into the attic "Cousteau, there is a doggo in your attic!"
Rena slowly getting up "I'm a Fox" she summons fire hazards around Kooper to create a barrier.
"Don't play with fire, the house is gonna burn down!"
"Don't play around! you're about to die!" Rena uses telekinesis to smash Kooper against the wall and closes the attic "I need to get out of here!..."
Rena snaps her fingers and causes an explosion with a boiler, suddenly she glitches in different forms.
Rena runs out of the burning house, as the other two give chase. Rena notices the many expedition team registrations and the many mons that were part of their group, she chokes one of the mons, as she took them somewhere in a dark spot, covers their mouth as they struggle from agony. She soon let go and places them on the ground as they're now unconscious and steals the badge they had and runs along with the teams blending in with the crowd as they fleed. They would reach the very next town of Elivive.
Kooper grabs Noiwave's tail and they fly to the next town in the sky. Rena holds a book called the truth of the flames that she uses to create multiple mystical fires that starts to burn the town down, as she Launched it.
Warning! Challenger approaching!
Rena sighs and gets up in position, as her maw dripped with blood and she smiled in a lenient disturbing way "What is with these people today?"
"That's enough! it's time to pay for your sins!" A Rapid Stike Urshifu comes out of the flames.
Rena pulls out a Pokemon bibble "That varies~" she says before glitching into different Pokemon again.
The Urshifu growls "This is not like any other shadow Pokemon I have ever seen!"
Noiwave fly's down with Kooper "We would not try if we were you."
"Why so? someone has to save our people!"
Rena stabs her wand into the ground and makes it turn into some sort of reddish crystal material.
"Great Arceus!" The Urshifu steps back a little "what is this witchcraft!?"
"She warned you, sir" Kooper shakes nervously.
The Urshifu cracks his knuckles "Get yourself ready for a fight!"
My pleasure to meet you whatever type of challenger you are~ "Rena holds her hat and bows like a gentleman"
Wait a minute... an Urshifu? she said I was friends with one! are... are you that Urshifu?
"Urshifu looks down at Kooper" Hmm?
Rena pulls the wand out and dashes forward to attack the Urshifu, however, he dashes behind her to thunder punch her in the head sending her towards a tree to follow up with an uppercut and then spiking her back to the ground. Her body would have some sort of burns upon getting hit, the many times she got hit, her fur seemed to be burning like an Incineroar, smoke comes out from my body and Aggression levels rise, as she grabs Urshifu to suplex him
"Urshifu struggles to get back up" It's gonna take more than that to take me down!
Rena holds her wand stick "Oh really-"
YES! That is a known fact!
"Yeah! you tell her!" Noiwave cheers him on.
Rena spins her wand to create multiple fire vortex's around her that Urshifu punches by mistake, causing his hand to set on fire. Rena runs off to try to jump from tree to tree before slipping and falling slowly just to be dramatic. Kooper runs up to her and dumps a bucket of water on her while she was in slow motion so Urshifu followed up with another thunder punched making it a critical hit.
Urshifu traps her in a bear hug "Thank you both for helping me stop this corrupted wicked witch, kid."
"That was so cool, mister! Do it again!"
Rena's paws curled up, as she had movements of having a seizure. It was her corruption taking over her body once Rena's eyes came back to replace the darken sockets. She bites Urshifu and clenches her fangs in his shoulder, liquid and the aura she still had when she was a Riolu came out of her fangs, as she starts to inject aura into his bloodstream and breaks out his grip before fainting from her aggression.
Urshifu covered his arm before falling on his knees "I… I am dying".
"No! Don't say that!" Kooper holds Urshifu up.
Urshifu felt great pain before collapsing onto Kooper, but suddenly the aura that entered his bloodstream entered began flowing around his body before causing a huge burst of it around them that blew Noiwave back a little.
Noiwave gasps "She did more than corrupt him, she... evolved him?"
Urshifu struggles to get up "What are you talking about? Are you ok down there, kiddo?" he looked down at Kooper then when he looked into his eyes he saw that his own eyes turned black and red and he jumped back in shock "to then see his claws and muzzle was now a light blue "WHAT DID SHE DO TO ME!? That aura just went into my body and now I can feel it in my soul! And my headband, I am a Single Strike Urshifu now!"
"But why would she do that? Unless it's some kind of curse."
"If it is, this woman has to be put in the slammer immediately!" Urshifu says right before his aura flows around him and heals his would on his arm "...Maybe this curse ain't so bad."
"Can you give me some of that?" Kooper asked as he was flattened by Urshifu.
"A Lucario's aura can't heal itself or others, so if I can let's see" he then picks up Kooper off the ground, and his aura forms around him slowly healing him as well "Feel better kiddo?"
That felt like 20 seconds in Heaven right there! Thank you! "Kooper shakes his paw".
"Hmm, if you have this kind of aura powers who knows what else you can do that Lucario's can't?" Noiwave got intrigued.
I can read minds like the rest of them, now I know your name is Noiwave and this kid is Kooper, this kid is not a Pokemon I have ever seen are you a Pokemon, little one?
"I don't even know what a Pokemon is" Kooper shrugs "All I remember is waking up on a beach and dealing with her last night when she was a different Pokemon.
"You are telling the truth from what my aura is detecting or whatever. Pokemon or not, you're an honest, pure kid and it's a dangerous world so advise you to come with me for the time being. But first, we're going to have to take this Pokemon to a prison."
"We never cached your name what is it by any chance?" Noiwave asked.
"Umm... Urshifu".
"Then how about we call you something different since you're one of a kind now?"
"How about we call him Aurafu?" Kooper raises one finger up.
Ah, that is not that bad, Kooper I will now go by Aurafu. Now off to prison!
Aurafu has joined the party! All the benefits of a Single Strike and now has the power of aura with abilities yet to be discovered.
