It was a warm summer day, a gentle breeze dancing with the grass and leaves. In a hidden glade within a thick and lush forest, a family of Lucarios were celebrating a newborn Riolu. "She has your eyes." The mother said softly to her mate, holding the baby in her lap. "She looks so delicate and soft... Just like you." He whispered, looking lovingly into her eyes. As the Lucarios sat there, cradling their new daughter, something began to stir. Immediately the father stood up, trying to send out his senses to detect the approaching force. "W-what is it?" The mother asked, shielding her baby. "I don't know... but it's powerful." The wind was howling and blasting, shaking the trees in the forest. The mother Lucario was trying to calm her baby as it cried. Then, a blinding light burst out, and a silhouette appeared. "Who are you?!" The male Lucario demanded, barely able to see. "Fear not," The Pokémon spoke. "I am not an enemy." The light disappeared, and the Lucarios opened their eyes.
They stood there in awe as the God Pokémon Arceus approached them. "Great Arceus..." The Lucarios bowed graciously, humbled by his appearance. "Rise my children, for I must give you an important task." They looked up in surprise by his request. "First, I must bless your child with abilities beyond a normal Riolu." Arceus stepped towards the mother, and she hesitantly held out her daughter who was still crying. Arceus lifted his foreleg, and gently touched her head. She glowed for a minute, and instantly stopped crying. "And now," Arceus said. "I must bless you with another child. A human baby with the ability to control aura." A glowing orb suddenly appeared in front of Arceus. It floated down towards the mother Lucario who outstretched her hand, and it materialized into a little girl wearing a simple white dress. "But why human? What does this all mean?" The mother asked, cradling both children. "There has been a Prophecy, and these two play the most important roles in it. I must make other preparations, but your task is to raise these two to become aura masters." A blinding light once again enveloped the area as Arceus began to leave. "Protect them at all costs, and allow them to fulfill their destiny."
Years went by, and the two children were now celebrating their fifth birthday. "Happy birthday Riolu!" The girl said. "You too sis!" Replied Riolu. They both laughed and played together in the forest as their parents watched over them. "All right you two, don't go too far!" The mother called. "Don't forget we need to do some training today!" The father smiled, treasuring their youthful energy. Then the mother sighed. "When are we going to tell them?" "Oh, not this again honey..." "They should know why they need to train so much!" She insisted. "We will tell them, I promise! But not until they are ready." The father said firmly. "But when will that be? We haven't exactly got time, and I don't even know how much we have. They need to be prepared!" Tears began to well in her eyes. "And we still haven't told her that she's not our child..." The father closed his eyes, thinking deeply about everything his mate just said. "... Fine. We'll tell them. But let's wait until tomorrow, and not spoil their birthday okay?" They continued their stroll through the forest, the kids having fun and chasing butterflies that fluttered by. Suddenly the father stopped, alert. "Honey, what is it?" The mother asked. "It's quiet... too quiet..." As he spoke, the kids suddenly screamed and ran back towards them. The mother instantly wrapped her arms around them, her back to whatever frightened them with the father stepping in front. There was some rustling in the bushes, and suddenly shadowy pokemon rushed towards them. The father charged a beam of light in his paws, and fired a Flash Cannon at them. But is phazed through their smoky bodies and hit the ground behind them, sending up a shower of dust and bits of branches. "We can't hit them..." He growled. "Oh no... we're surrounded..." The father turned around at his mate's gasp, and saw more of these strange pokemon blocking all sides around them. "What do you want from us?!" He snarled. The shadow pokemon didn't reply, they only stared at them menacingly with their piercing red eyes. Then a vortex appeared above them, creating powerful winds and shooting out electricity. A huge ghost white hand that looked like the same elements of the shadow pokemon began to slip through, and reached towards the Lucarios. The father kept shooting projectiles at it, but everything kept passing harmlessly through. The hand got closer and closer, it was barely inches away from them now. But the wind got stronger, the lightning got wilder, and everything began to tremble. The ghost hand was starting to evaporate, and it tried to go back into the vortex. But it was already too late, and the vortex exploded with space energy, leveling the entire area.
