Sun was shining brightly in sky...it was nearly 9 in the morning and our heros were eating breakfast in restaurant at pokemon center.

"It was really a long day yesterday..I can't even do my morning training" said ash with a little glimpse of sadness in his voice.

"Yes true ash I am a little tired till now" said misty while trying to stop her yawn.

"Hmm if you don't mind mist can we start our travel tomorrow? I have to do some training and also want to ask somethings to dad.. " asked ash while chewing his food..(he was right now behaving normally because he was in public thanks to his mom ;-) )

"Yes sure I also want to train some and rest a lot" said misty finally yawning.

"Hehe..sure" said ash while chuckling slightly.

The duo then headed towards the pokemon center to make a phone call.

Ring ring

"Hello Ketchum residence how can I help you" asked delia in sweet voice.

"It's me mom" replied ash.

Delia: "Oh hey ashy how are you?"

Ash: "Great mom and you?"

Delia: "I am fine ash"

Ash: "That's good...Mom if you don't mind can I speak to dad? Is he here?"

Delia: "Ok...and today's your lucky day ash he is home right now.."

Ash: "Oh thanks mom i will talk to you later right now I have to talk about something important to dad"

Delia: "OK no problem ashy"

(Mr. Mime if you don't mind can you call Richard here? Asked delia)

Delia: "Hmm... He's coming ash"

Ash: "Thanks mom"

"Hey Master what's up?" Called a male voice over the phone.

"I am fine dad how are you?"

Richard: Same here ash... So what do you want to talk to me about..? Is it about your girlfriend?

"No..! Dad its something important" said ash with a nervous look and misty was blushing a Little which was not noticed by anyone except Richard an delia.

Richard: Hmm...OK then tell me ash..

Ash: Dad you know I am practicing my aura daily and also focusing on physical training then why am I too weak till now..? I get exhausted really faster then I exept.

Richard: Hmm... Ash there a various reasons for it..first is you are still a kid and that's why you are not physically strong enough to take the pressure of aura... Second reason is you have not reached the inner core of aura yet..I May tell you that your aura is far more stronger than me you just need practice..

Ash: Really! My aura is stronger than you dad? ( asked ash with disbelief on his face)

Richard: Yes ash its true and the last and most important reason is that you don't have an aura partner yet..

Ash: "Oh yea dad I forgot about it" said ash rubbing back of his head sheepishly.

Richard: "Hmm..oh I forgot to tell you that I got a message from Lucario kingdom and they were saying they will give you a riolu but you will have to pass their test..they should have reached you till now.."

Ash: "Oh yes dad yesterday I met a Lucario and he said that he will talk to me today and he had a egg in his hand.."

Richard: "Oh then he may be the Lucario messenger sent to you..he will also test you so be prepared, good luck and do your training and pokemon training regularly"

"Yes dad"

"Pika!"

Said ash and pikachu together.

Richard: "Ok then take care of yourself bye"

Ash: "Bye dad and mom"

And with that screen went black..

"Hmm.. Then lets go to training?" Asked ash.

"I guess so" nodded Misty.

They both then headed to clearing for training none of them noticed a Lucario silently following them.

xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx

"Ok guys come on out..you haven't perfected last things yet so lets continue old training regime." Said ash while throwing all of his pokeballs.

All pokemon nodded and went to training.

Ash went to meditation and misty was watching him and his pokemon with a smile.

After two 2 hours of Meditation ash stood for some physical training and recalled all his exhausted pokemons for a nice rest.

On the other hand misty just woke up from her sleep and ash was just about to start his pushups when a voice interrupted them.

"Let's fight it will help you train and maybe you may get a aura partner" said a strong voice.

Ash and misty were startled by the voice but then noticed a Lucario coming out of trees with a egg in his hand.

"You are the Lucario from yesterday right?"

"Yes you are right lady misty" answered Lucario.

"Ok then You want a fight with me?" Asked ash.

"It's true Sir Ketchum" answered Lucario.

"Ok then What are we waiting for" said ash.

"Lady misty can you hold this egg for some time?" Asked Lucario while handing egg to misty.

"GOOD LUCK ASH TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF" shouted Misty.

"You bet misty" said ash with a smirk.

"Ok then lets start" said Lucario with a smirk.

With that Lucario dashed towards ash with blue glowing palm signifying he was using his aura.

Ash quickly switched to aura sight and easily blocked the incoming attack using aura shield. Lucario was surprised by the thickness and bright color of aura shield but then a generous smile took over the shock on his face. Ash then fired several aura spheres quickly then he imagined but Lucario being a pokemon easily dodged them and fired his aura spheres towards ash who was working hard to dodge the incoming strong spheres of aura with a little luck. Soon he was panting due to his fast movements and was bleeding a little due to contact of aura spheres.

Misty noticed that ash was tired and also saw bleeding and scratches that was over him...she felt pain inside her as if she was the one who was taking all the damage on her.

"ASH! I KNOW YOU WILL WIN YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF PRACTICE AND I BELIEVE IN YOU" shouted Misty hoping that it will encourage him.

"Haha... So you can give some light show nothing else and you call yourself a aura guardian. You are nothing more than a black stain on name of aura guardian's. You Are not worthy for getting a aura partner and I will not give you one" said Lucario with denom in his voice.

"DONT LISTEN TO HIM ASH I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF I BELIEVE IN YOU ASH..YOU CAN DO IT" Shouted Misty.

"She believes in me...I am not a stain on aura guardian's...I will make my dad proud of me...I will make aura guardian's proud..." Thought ash..

"I WILL WIN!" Shouted ash..

With that a brilliant bright blue aura covered ash and his wounds started healing and then a bright blue beam of aura headed towards Lucario...Lucario noticed it and bought a aura shield but the beam of aura easily destroyed the shield and striked Lucario which caused him to fly back and hit a tree behind him. He slowly stood and was surprised to see a fully healed ash heading calmly toward him with blue glowing eyes and hands. Lucario readied himself and sent a blast of aura towards ash but it was stopped by a flame of aura which covered ash fully and a second beam of aura striked Lucario which blacked him out.

The flame of aura then died down and ash stood proudly near Lucario with blue glowing eyes he then started using heal pulse on Lucario. After a short amount of time the glow from ash's hands and eyes died down and Lucario started getting up meanwhile misty was making her way towards ash with egg still in his hand.

"Ash are you alright?" asked misty in a worried tone.

"Yea mist... Just a little sore from using such amount of aura..my body is paining like hell.." Said ash while pressing his head.

"Hm..that might be healed..if you want I have some painkillers" asked misty sweetly.

"Thanks but I think I should heal myself afterall I want to be a strong aura guardian." Answered ash.

"Ok then and I know you will be the strongest guardian" misty said while smiling and pressing ash's shoulder.

"Thanks misty" said ash while smiling."

"Awesome display of power shown by you Sir Ketchum" said Lucario interrupting ash and misty.

"Thanks Lucario" said ash still smiling.

"Forgive me Sir Ketchum and because of you defeating me and because if your kindness I give you this egg of the strongest generation in our Lucario kingdom." Said Lucario bowing infront of ash.

"Thanks Lucario and no need to say sorry" said ash smiling and taking the egg from misty.

Lucario bowed again in front of ash and ran in forest.

"Hmm...let's head to pokemon center so that nurse joy can check the health of egg and we could buy a incubator for it" suggested misty.

"Sounds good to me" replied ash and started walking towards pokemon center.

It was nearly 3 in afternoon and our heros were ready to head towards viridian forest.

"Ash is there any other way to go pewter city." Asked misty with a bit of fear in her voice.

"No misty there isn't.. And why are you so terrified of viridian forest?" Asked ash.

"Hmm...nothing lets go" Answered misty.

Our hero's the headed toward viridian city with misty trailing behind ash.
