I'd like to thank all the support I got on the last chapter. It is really encouraging for an author who begins writing for the first time in his life. Oh and the story will be advanceshipping, if you did not catch it.

That is not a bad idea, I may add it just for the humour but I cannot promise anything as I haven't really planned anything. As of now, I am kinda just going with the flow.

Okay, on with the story. I don't own Pokémon.

CHAPTER 2: THE POWER OF AURA

As Ash left his doorstep, he found two familiar voices calling out to him;

"Ash, over here!"

He quickly made his way towards his best friends, Drew and May as they called him rather impatiently.

"Well it is the first day of school. I cannot wait for the history lesson because we begin something new!" yelled Ash.

"I agree, we finally do legends of Hoenn and not lessons on those boring kings who only seemed to battle each other or moan about something unreasonable," replied May.

Drew flicked his green hair, saying, "Meh history. I just cannot wait for Maths. We finally get something hard and challenging: Graphs with quadratic equations."

(A/N: Most people will agree that the graph part of equations is a big nightmare!)

This resulted in an argument all the way to school where Ash and May supported history being better while Drew argued in favour of Maths. As they reached the school gates, Ash (once again) rammed right into the school gate and fell on the ground. This evaporated all tension between Ash, Drew and May as May and Drew burst out laughing. Ash, rather red in the face, got up and faced his friends with his goofy smile.

Drew spoke out, in the voice of a National Geographic commentator, "Here we see the young species called Ketchum. He seems to have walked right into the school gates. It seems that he is still a baby in the wild…"

This brought out full-fledged laughter in May and Ash, the latter who was now covered nicks and scratches before even entering the school.

"Arceus, he needs to be more careful. But then again, he always brings laughter so I suppose it's alright" thought May.

The trio quickly rushed into school and later re-joined in history which was taught by Professor Sycamore, a good majority of students' favourite teacher.

In the history lesson…

Professor Sycamore entered and smiled at his class. Many students were happy to see him, many eager for the lesson and of course, a few who did not care at all. Professor took the attendance and began his lesson:

"Now children, I'm sure you are all ready for this lesson for we will finally begin on something you will enjoy. It is Hoenn's ancient legends!"

Ash, May and Drew all looked at each other and smiled. This was something they were all looking forward to.

"Our first topic is on the Aura Guardians of Hoenn. Now who can tell me who they are?"

May raised her hand and answered, "Aura Guardians were people who could use Aura to their will."

"Excellent May! Now, Drew can you tell me who the first Aura Guardian was?" asked the professor.

"I believe it was someone called…Red." Replied Drew. Behind him, the class bully, Gary Oak snickered, "Oh yeah! 'cause I'm totally going to use this in my everyday life!"

"Thank you Drew. Now Ash, can you answer Gary's wonderful question as to when you will actually use this in life?"

Drew whispered haughtily to Gary, "Busted!" to which Gary stuttered, "Sh..shut up grass head!"

Ash looked blank. "…No, sir."

Professor Sycamore looked disappointed. "It's alright. Ash I would like for you to know how this applies in your daily life. Your survival depends on it."

Ash, still blank, replied, "Yes sir." and then the bell rang, with the class being dispersed for lunch.

"Alright guys, I have to visit the library for geography homework so I'll catch you once I'm done," Ash said to Drew and May and the former gave a thumbs up while the latter just nodded.

As Ash walked to the library, he heard the principal, Samuel Oak having some sort of a discussion with Professor Sycamore.

"…Have you not felt it? He has grown powerful and has even found them!" exclaimed principal Oak.

"I have felt it and that is why Ash, May and Drew must leave," replied Professor Sycamore.

Ash gasped. He was not one to eavesdrop but this was a conversation on something very important and it concerned him so he had the right to know. Leaning against the door, he tried to listen further.

"…they cannot leave, what will we tell their parents?"

"I tell you, Ash does not know it but he is very powerful! He is a threat to everyone's welfare, especially May's and Drew's!" yelled Professor Sycamore.

Ash had heard enough. He dashed as fast as he could, trying not ram himself against anything, to find May and Drew. He found them sitting by the cafeteria deep in conversation.

Drew noticed Ash and asked, "I thought you were going to the library, what happened?"

He panted and said, "You are not going to believe…"

Ash was interrupted by a loud boom, followed by the shattering of windows. He turned around and saw that the school building had blown up. Chaos erupted as students and teachers alike ran to and fro to avoid the falling debris. The other school buildings caught fire and it spread very quickly. Ash also, noticed a shadowy figure at the corner of his eye.

His train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice. "Follow me, no questions. We do not have time. Quick!" yelled Professor Sycamore.

Ash, May and Drew nodded timidly. They had never seen anger on his face, his eyes raging.

Professor Sycamore said, "Hurry up! He found us!"

May asked in a slightly worried tone, "…who found us?"

Professor Sycamore raised his hand and pointed at the shadowy figure. "Him"
