Alright I'm back and ready to go! Here's another chapter for ya...

Lace Forest is a popular forest known to give beginning trainers headaches. It was like a maze, a dark, shrouded maze filled with twisted creepy trees and branches. Thick leaves that blocked most of the sun and known to host creepy bug Pokemon. Big Ariados that seem to love to jump out at unsuspecting people, and Spinarak with their changable back-print faces. All of the spooky parts are rumors left by the scared novices. This forest was actually known for it's underlined peaceful serenity. With an array of Grass Pokemon like Bellsprouts (and line), Oddishes (and line), Tangelas, even a Haunter here or two. Nothing scary about this forest... so why was there such a weird, almost heavy feeling?
Though Yu kept his thoughts to himself, Izanagi sure 'heard' them. He too was worried something was off the moment they stepped foot in the forest. The Lucario stayed near his master/partner to protect him from this... presence? Whatever it was they would move quickly and he would be at the ready with aura!
Almost halfway through Izanagi felt something, like it was watching them, no... watching, Yu. Just in the knick of time Izanagi grabbed hold of Yu and dodged left. A tree branch twisted and turned, mimicking a constricting motion.
"...-nagi what was that?". Yu motioned to branch where his body used to be. His Lucario hushed him and concentrated his aura, scanning the area for other threats.
More branches slithered out trying to grab on the pair. With one arm full it was still easy for Izanagi to move agilely, but aware to be careful with his load. Focusing his aura into his empty hand, Lucario attacked and wild branches that got too close. The pair was almost to the exit when darkness hit followed by a loud SCREECH. It sounded unbearable like nails on a chalk board mixed with yells of agony! Soon the horrid noise settled, but shadows took its place.
The Forest Pokemon stood blocking the exit, their shadows looming over the two "intruders". That's what Izanagi seemed to sense form the Pokemon, hostility and anger. Perhaps the screech was the cause?
Well not like they had a chance to figure it out because the wild Pokemon were attacking.
Taking out his Pokemon - Bulbasaur and Fletchinder, the two youngsters joined Lucario in battle.
Circling Yu in the middle, the team made a protective circle around their Trainer. Using Razor Leaves, Vine Wipes and occasionally Take Downs, Oberon was able to clear his field with little problems.
Careful Embers, Pecks and Aerial Aces, Parvati knocked backed the dangerous Bugs, Grass and one Ghost type.
Izanagi was amazing above the rest, he was higher leveled and more battle experienced after all. Blowing back the challengers to Yu with Bone Rush and Metal Claw, it was obvious to the forest residence that they're out matched.
One sneaky Haunter made it through the circle and Bee-lined for Yu, unfortunately for it Izanagi was faster and retaliated with a boosted Metal Claw!
With the angry Pokemon down the party made their escape and exited the forest. After gaining distance Yu asked Lucario what had happened, what provoked them to attack?
'I believe it had to do with the screech we heard. Just before it I sensed a wicked aura surrounding the forest'.
Wanting to ask many questions Izanagi grew bored answering, he stated, 'We will have to pick up the development of your aura soon'.
Yu was once again interrupted by Oberon evolving into a stronger but tired Ivysaur.
Izanagi lead the group to the next town. Yu had many questions unanswered questions left, knowing they would not be answered soon. But what was bugging the boy was the mentioned aura training. If what Izanagi said about him having aura was true, than why didn't it show? Was all this really just part of this "fate" thing Izanagi was saying? More importantly, what was that attack about? Some evil aura, and why did it attack him?
Eyes stared at the path the boy and his Lucario retreated to. With a grin things where bound to begin.
