LEGEND FOR SPEECH
'Thinking to one's self.'
"Telepathy."
"Human speech."
AND WITH THAT, LET'S BEGIN!
Andy's eyes opened, but all he could see was… Not even black. Not any colour imaginable. Not gray or white either. He turned his head, slowly first, then violently. He knew exactly what his surroundings were, but couldn't see a damn thing! His mouth unleashed a blood curdling scream, and people came rushing in the room his was in. He could 'see', for lack of a better term, colours that came off of human outlines in his mind's eye. His spine chilling scream ripped through the air again, but with a wave of energy that forced the people to the ground. Once the people in his room were standing again, Andy sensed every single feature about them, from how many hairs on their heads to exactly how many cells in their bodies. He sensed it all.
"Andrew, please calm down! We will explain everything to you, but only if you calm yourself," Said a short female doctor. Andy sat quietly on his bed.
"What happened to me, why can't I see, and why can I count exactly how many human cells are in this room at this very moment?" Andy asked, causing the doctors and nurses to stare at him in awe. "Before you ask, there are exactly seven hundred trillion, sixty-two billion, eight hundred two million, sixty nine thousand and five human cells in this very room at this very second." Andy recalled with ease. A doctor with psychic abilities looked at him, and her jaw dropped.
"He's telling the truth." The doctor said, before fainting. (A/N: Andy used WTF SKILLS! It's Super-Effective! Psychic doctor fainted!)
"That's news…" A tall doctor said before taking his colleague out of the room, followed by others.
One doctor stayed behind to give Andy a run-down on what happened.
"Okay, so we detected an Aura overload in your system at least two-hundred fold of the current aura guardian, or four-hundred times that of a normal human (But he isn't impressive at all), so you must have an ancestor that was an extremely powerful Aura Guardian less than eight generations ago, or your genes mutated beyond scientific belief. Also, witnesses say that you summoned an Aura Sphere that, and I quote, 'Shone like his eyes.' Pretty obvious who that came from." The doctor laughed at his own joke, while Andy ignored it.
"So I'm assuming that Aura Sphere is what blinded me?" Andy asked.
"Yeah, afraid so kid. Well, since you can obviously take care of yourself, here are your release papers." The doctor said. When Andy headed for the door, the doctor added something. "Oh, almost forgot, your girlfriend is talking with your parents on a lobby phone." And with that, Andy headed downstairs to the lobby.
'All these numbers, all this information, how am I not bothered by this?" Andy asked himself. A psychic link broke his thoughts though, and Kirlia's voice (?) interrupted him.
"Good to see you awake Andy." Kirlia said as Andy walked over to where she and Samantha were sitting, the latter being on video phone.
Samantha literally jumped out of her seat and fiercely kissed him, knocking him to the ground in the process. Only after a minute and a half of awkwardness for the rest of the lobby did they (reluctantly) part for air.
"Are you okay Andy?" Samantha asked quietly after noticing the green lustre of his now blind eyes was replaced with a dull pale green that bled into the pupils.
"I'm fine, Sam." Andy assured her. "I heard that you were talking to my parents?" He asked, wanting to speak with the eccentric Pokémon Master and Pokémon Contestant he had for parents.
"Andy, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" May's voice boomed from the monitor. She desperately wanted to see her son and make sure he's fine.
Andy sat on the chair in front of the computer and faced the screen, not being able to see his parents.
"Hi Mom and Dad." Andy said at the screen.
"Is it true? Are you blind?" Ash asked. "And did you shoot off an Aura Sphere?" Andy grinned at this. Ash could never in his life hope to use an Aura Sphere. The only time he successfully used Aura was when he healed Mew and the Tree of Beginning (A/N: BEST POKÉMON MOVIE IN THE EXISTENCE OF EVER!).
"Correct on both accounts dad." Andy answered, still smiling. "But I can sense everything from the number of cells in a human body to my entire surrounding area."
"Holy cr-" Ash was cut short by May.
"LANGUAGE!" She yelled. Andy gave a nod, and Ash knew exactly what it meant.
"English, if it pleases the court." Both Ketchum men said with mirth, although they acted like mere boys. May just sighed at the old response.
"Anyways, Samantha told us what happened leading up to the Aura Sphere, but we'd like to hear it from you." Ash said, and then whispered, "It might be the last thing I hear, make it good!"
Andy told his parents what happened, including the 'incident' with Brock (Ash roared with laughter).

"Andy, where are we going now?" Samantha asked the blind Aura wielder.
"Since I feel like kicking ass and taking names. I say we go over to the gym and humiliate Brock." Andy suggested with a fun-loving edge to his voice.
Kirlia, who was walking beside Andy, was relishing the idea of humiliating Brock.
"I say we drive him into the ground that he loves so much." Kirlia said, causing Andy and Samantha to stifle a laugh. (A/N: Brock's gym is now the Ground type gym, and the Viridian gym is now Flying type)
()
Andy entered the gym, and literally yelled, "Man-whore! We're ready for our gym battles!"
Brock got off his earthen seat with three Pokeballs at his belt. "Andy, blind as ever I see." Brock joked. Guest what? He received an Aura waved that knocked him down.
"Ha ha, very funny man-whore." He retorted as Brock got back on his feet. "Are we going to stand around all day or fight?"
"I say fight. Geodude, take 'em down!" Brock said as he threw one of his Pokeballs.
"Not yet, Andy. Use Pikachu for now." Kirlia said, and Andy nodded.
"Pikachu, bring it!" Andy yelled as he threw Pikachu's ball forwards.
"Geodude, let's finish this quickly; roll-out!" The Geodude started rolling around, picking up speed and headed towards Pikachu with massive force.
"Pikachu, quick attack into iron tail!" Pikachu ran forwards at fairly impressive speeds. Just before Geodude was about to hit Pikachu, said Pikachu's tail glowed with metallic energy, and smashed Geodude down into the ground in a fluid motion.
Pikachu scurried backwards and waited for the Geodude to get up.
"Alright Geodude, bulldoze, now!" Geodude punched the ground repeatedly, causing Pikachu to get thrown around. When Pikachu signalled to Andy that he was fine, Andy knew what to do.
"Pikachu, leer into iron tail!" Andy commanded, the combination was extremely powerful.
Pikachu gave Geodude a cute look the forced it to lower its defenses, the smashed it into a knockout.
The referee stood up from his uncomfortable stone chair. "Geodude is unable to battle, Brock, choose your next Pokémon!"
Brock picked a Pokeball from his belt and threw it into the ring. "Onix, take 'em down!" He yelled.
The massive rock snake Pokémon towered over the yellow mouse. Andy thought he was done for, until he got an idea. 'Pikachu's lightning rod ability can come in handy.' Andy thought while examining his situation.
"Pikachu, use thunderbolt on yourself repeatedly!" He ordered. Pikachu looked confused, but soon grasped Andy's idea.
Brock was panicking. He saw Ash use this technique before. He knew the massive amount of damage an iron tail would cause. "Onix, take down! Quickly!" Brock ordered.
"Wrong move. Pikachu, smash it down with iron tail!" Andy miscalculated his attack. Onix was faster than Pikachu. Both Pokémon were hit, and sent flying.
"Both Pikachu and Onix are unable to battle! Brock, send out your last Pokémon. Challenger, send out another Pokémon." The referee exclaimed.
"Kirlia, you got this." Andy said. "And I will give you commands via psychic link."
"Not a problem, Andy." Kirlia said, knowing Andy was going to try and confuse Brock.
"Sandshrew, take 'em down!" Brock yelled, throwing his last legal Pokémon (Steelix can't be used against first timers).
"Kirlia, psychic Sandshrew into the ground." Kirlia waved her hand over Sandshrew, and it was thrown onto the earth.
"Sandshrew, use dig!" Brock ordered, obviously pissed that Kirlia and Andy were speaking through telepathy.
Sandshrew, already being in the ground, dug swiftly towards where Kirlia was standing, and tackled her from her ground
"Kirlia, use dazzling gleam!"
Kirlia's body shone brightly, forcing Samantha and Brock to avert their eyes.
"Release!" Andy finally spoke. Kirlia released the stored fairy power, and hit Sandshrew with such a force, that it was thrown towards Brock in a fainted pile of Pokémon.
"Sandshrew is unable to battle! Andy and his team win!" The referee announced.
Brock recalled Sandshrew and walked over to Andy with a badge in hand.
"Andy, you deserve this; the Mountain Badge (Because the Boulder Badge would be for rock, Brock switched to ground.).
"Thanks Brock. You put up a decent fight." Andy said, taking the badge from Brock's hand. He turned to Samantha, kissed her cheek, and said, "Surprised the blind guy won?" He asked jokingly.
"Not going to lie to you, I was surprised." She said. She still couldn't grasp the concept of him not being able to see, but know his surroundings perfectly. Not being able to see her, his future children…
'You're getting WAY ahead of yourself, Sam.' she thought to herself. Why was she thinking about kids for Arceus' sake? 'Arceus damn hormones.'
"So, are you going to battle?" Andy asked, jerking Samantha back to reality.
"Yeah, Charmeleon has this." Samantha said, receiving a confused look from Andy. "He evolved while you were sleeping in the hospital," Samantha explained.
(I'M TOO LAZY TO WRITE ANOTHER BATTLE SCENE. LONG STORY SHORT, SAMANTHA KICKED ASS.)
"Wow, Charmeleon is one powerful Pokémon." Brock said. He handed her the Mountain badge and went to his back room.

Andy and Samantha were heading towards Mt. Moon when Andy felt an intense energy. It forced his knees to buckle and his hands to the ground.
"Andy, what's wrong?" Samantha asked worriedly. Andy didn't reply. He couldn't even hear a single sound that was near him. He wasn't even in his body.
"Where am I?" Andy asked an area full of nothing. He expanded his Aura to sense a small feline creature floating in mid-air. But that's not all he sensed. He sensed three dogs, three and two birds, a mighty dragon… "You're the Old Gods…" Andy managed to say. He felt a ground materialize under him, and kneeled.
"No need to kneel, kid. We respect you as much as you respect us." Mew said through telepathy, causing Andy to rise.
"Where am I?" Andy asked again, this time receiving an answer.
"You are in our plain of existence, but it is falling apart." Celebi explained. "The so-called Army of the Old Gods is poisoning our hall with their twisted prayers."
Andy was confused on one thing. "Why am I here?" He asked.
Mew spoke up again. "You are the being of Aura, Andrew. Your unnatural power can match my clone's might with plenty to spare." Mew said thoughtfully and truly. "It is up to you to put a stop to the army. And it is you who will spare the world of the upcoming war."
"Wait, WAR? I'm fifteen! Just the other DAY I turned fifteen! How can you expect me to stop such a thing without training?" Andy argued.
"I cannot tell you when it will happen," Celebi started. "But know this; you and your Kirlia will change Kanto forever."
Before Andy could object any farther, Mew sent him back to Earth.
"Andy, are you alright?" Samantha asked the doubled over teenager.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Andy said, still thinking on Mew's words. "Just some unstable Aura around here." He lied.
Samantha didn't feel convinced, but let it go.
(AFTER THEY PASS THROUGH MT. MOON Andy caught an Onix and Samantha caught a Geodude and Paras)
Andy and Samantha walked towards Cerulean with fire in their spirits. When Samantha pointed out it was night, they were forced to wait until morning to do anything. Andy suggested staying at a Pokémon centre, but Samantha proposed they stay at her mom's house. It was seven, so she should be home and awake.
"Mom, open up!" Samantha yelled while knocking on Misty's door. It was a fairly sized house with two floors and a backyard to match.
The door opened to reveal Misty, the Water type gym leader. Her hair was in a spiked ponytail as usual, and she was wearing normal clothes.
"Oh my god, Samantha!" Misty said, and forced Samantha into a tight hug. "Oh, and Andy, hi."
"Mom, you're cutting off my air…" Samantha managed to say, still trapped in Misty's arms. Misty let her daughter go, and turned her attention to a certain trainer that miserably lost to her.
"Fred, trying to sneak up on a blind kid?" Andy asked as he felt Fred's Aura. "That's a new low, even for you." Andy said, spinning around, as well as Kirlia.
Fred laughed. "Oh yeah, I heard about that. What, a light bulb to bright for you?" He asked tauntingly.
Andy returned the laugh with one of his own. "I didn't know that this could be called a light bulb." He said, and summoned an Aura sphere.
Fred stared in awe, but immediately thought of an insult. "So your dad screwed a Lucario?" He asked, thinking Andy wouldn't do anything to him. He. Was. WRONG.
Andy took aim and fired the Aura Sphere straight into his gut. It wasn't powerful enough to cause damage to internal organs, but it hurt just the same. "Aura, bitch." Andy deadpanned. Samantha was staring at Fred, who got up and ran away. Misty stared at Andy, with a million questions flying around in her head.
Getting over her surprise, Misty let her tense self relax. "Well, come inside. Both of you have to battle me in the morning, so you need rest."
/AUTHOR'S NOTE/ Alright, I gave Andy skills on the 'Holy Shit' level of awesome. I don't think I told you yet, but why I wrote this story is because a writer by the name of BladeOfThePoet inspired my creative juices with his Guardian of Altomare. I suggest you check it out, because it's freaking FANTASTIC!
Anyways, I made Andy meet all the Old Gods, the legendries from Kanto-Hoenn, not including Mewtwo or Deoxys for obvious reasons. So Andy's the being of Aura… That's a thing now. Basically, a normal user of aura 150 times as much aura as a normal person, and the current Aura Guardian has twp hundred as much as a normal person. But since Andy's a badass, he has four hundred times more Aura than a regular person.
