Wow, I never thought this story would get so much attention! I would like those who keep helping me to make this story better with their reviews and helping me with those Japanese names. I hope I'm able to keep my good work up, but work isn't easy lately. Anyway let's move on with chapter 5 and our lovely couple ;)

Japanese Names:

Kogomi = Greta
Heath = Tucker
Datsura = Noland
Azami = Lucy
Jindai = Brandon
Spencer = Ukon

Disclaimer? Nobody got time for that.

Chapter 5: Aura

When Lila woke up at the next morning she tried her hardest not to faint.

'I was sleeping right next to Sato-kun! He even has an arm around my waist!' she thought, blushing in the deepest shade of red. She stood up, luckily not waking up Sato in the process, and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast.

'Did I really sleep beside Sato-kun last night? Oh god, I won't be able to look into his eyes for the rest of the day!'

At this very moment the person of her thoughts and dreams walked into the room, causing Lila to blush furiously once more.

"Something wrong, Lila?" he asked, noticing her blush.

"N-n-no, Sato-kun." she said, fighting her blush. "Everything is fine."

Sato wasn't convinced but didn't push her to an answer. He would never do anything that would make her feel uncomfortable.
Breakfast was an uncomfortable silence until Sato decided to break it.

"Would you like to come with me to Saffron City in two weeks?"

"Y-Yes, of course Sato-kun. It would be nice to see Scott again and I'm sure he wants all Frontier Brains there."

"Great! By the way, did you see Pikachu anywhere?" Sato asked.

"Pikachu? No, I didn't see him. Now that you're talking about it, I didn't see Espeon anywhere too."

While the two teenagers were wondering where Pikachu and Espeon go, said Pokémon came running into the kitchen, playfully chasing each other.

"Pikachu?"

"Espeon?"

Both trainers asked their Pokémon.

"Pikachu, where did you go with Espeon?" Sato asked his friend.

"We were playing outside. We chased each other down to the lake."

"And that's the only reason you look so flushed?" Sato asked mockingly.

"Y-Yeah, of course!" Pikachu said, his face turning red. Espeon, talking with Lila, noticed Pikachu's blush and walked over to him and licked his cheek, causing Pikachu to blush even deeper. Sato and Lila could only laugh at them, until they looked in each other eyes. Lila stopped laughing immediately, turning away with a blush as she remembers her position on the couch this morning.

"I'm going outside." Sato said, not noticing her blush. "I need to train a bit."

"Okay Sato-kun. But don't even think of bothering some Beedrills." Lila said, remembering their first encounter.

"Ugh, please don't remind me of that."

Two weeks later

"Next stop: Saffron City Central Station!" the conductor announced.

"Finally! These trains are so uncomfortable!" Lila said, rubbing her backside.

"Nah, you get used to it after a while." Sato said smiling.

"Yeah, sure."

"Come on, Lila. We're there."

"Okay, Sato-kun. I coming." the girl said.

The young teenagers walked down the main road of Saffron City towards the Battle Frontier Headquarter.

"Hm, I guess Jindai is already here." Lila said.

"How do you know?"

Lila pointed to the HQ. Sato looked up and saw a black pyramid standing on the top of the building.

"Seriously? Can he park this thing just everywhere?" Sato asked.

"I guess so" Lila answered with a chuckle.

When they entered the building and got up to the 3rd stage, they were greeted by Enishida and the other six Frontier Brain's: Arena Tycoon Kogomi, Dome Superstar Heath, Factory Head Datsura, Pike Queen Azami, Palace Maven Ukon and of course Pyramid King Jindai.

"Hey you two! Great to see you again!" Enishida said greeting them.

"I think it would be the best if we start right away." he said. "Satoshi."

"Yes?"

"Are you ready to become a Frontier Brain?"

"Yes, I'm ready."

"Okay. You need the approval of all seven Frontier Brains, so I ask you my friends: Will you accept Satoshi as a member of our group and as a Frontier Brain? Kogomi?"

"Of course."

"Heath?"

"I have no objections."

"Datsura?"

"Definitely yes!"

"Azami?"

"Yes."

"Ukon?"

"He has my approval."

"Jindai?"

Jindai only nodded.

"And finally, Lila?"

"Do you even need to ask?" the girl said smiling.

"Wonderful! Satoshi, you're now an aspirant for the position of a Frontier Brain. You have to train with one of them for three months before you will become a full member of the Battle Frontier. Who do you choose?"

"That's something I don't even need to think about. Lila?" he asked.

"Y-Yes, Sato-kun?" the girl looked at him.

"Will you accept me as you're training partner?" he said, fighting the urge to blush.

"Of course, Sato-kun. Nothing that would make me happier!" the girl exclaimed, hugging him tightly.

The other Brains smiled at the two lovebirds and laughed, when they realized their position and separated with deep red faces.

"Come on you two!" Enishida said smirking. "Go into the town and have a little fun! I could drive you guys around."

"Th-Thanks Enishida, but we will be fine." Sato said hastily.

'I have no intention to die today.' he added mentally.

Three hours later, Sato and Lila were back on the train and on their way back to Tojoh Falls. But their train ride was interrupted when the train stopped suddenly and the power went down.

"Ladies and Gentleman! Please do not panic! We have some minor problems with the generators and we will continue as soon as we're finished." the conductor said, before walking over to the next wagon.

Lila shifted uncomfortable in her seat. She never liked total darkness, it frightened her.

"Lila? Is everything fine?" Sato asked, sensing her fear.

"Yeah, Sato-kun. I'm fi-" she stopped mid-sentence as she looked into his eyes. She couldn't see the right one because of the darkness and Sato's dark brown eye color, but his left eye was clearly visible. It wasn't brown anymore. It was shining in a light gold color.

"Lila? What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing. It's just the darkness." Lila said, turning away.

"Darkness? But I can see you clearly!" Sato said.

"Nani? What are you talking about Sato-kun? I can't even see my own hands!"

"I can see everything clearly. Everyone is glowing in a faint light. Wait, I know this glowing. But, that's... that's not possible!" he mumbled to himself.

"What is it Sato-kun?" Lila asked worried.

"Th-This faint light around everyone... That's aura. I-I'm using Aura Vision right now. But I don't have my gloves on, so how is that possible?"

"Sato-kun? Try to stop this vision." Lila said, getting an idea.

"Nani? How?"

"Just think about it Sato-kun."

Sato focused his thoughts on ending the vision and everything turned dark immediately.

"It's gone."

"Sato-kun, I think you just developed the ability to use your aura powers at your own will." Lila said in awe.

Sato looked out of the window into the dark night.

'Using my powers at my will? I think I will really need this training with Lila.'

Sato stayed silent for the rest of the train ride, leaving Lila to her thoughts.

'Three months of training with Sato-kun... It's like a dream come true'

And as the train rattled along the rails, both could only think of each other.

'Sato-kun'

'Lila-chan'

Yay! Chapter 5 is finished! I really like Sato with his aura powers, so I added them in this story. I've got the idea for his golden shining eye from Gundam 00 (Setsuna and his Innovator-eyes).
Again I hope for many reviews and I would like to encourage you guys to give me possible ideas for this story, because I think that could make it even better!

See ya!
