Chapter 194: Third Stage of Aura Power? No, Innate Full Aura Power!
Chapter 194: Third Stage of Aura Power? No, Innate Full Aura Power!
The sensation brought by the Aura was quite peculiar.
It was as if he had a blurry version of night vision.
Even though his eyes were closed, his "vision" was filled with darkness, yet he could sense the positions of Gengar, Lucario, and the others, and even the distances between them clearly.
When he opened his eyes, the sensation gradually faded away and eventually disappeared.
However, this attempt, combined with his previous understanding of Aura, gave him a more precise grasp of this ability.
Everything has an Aura.
It’s just that ordinary people or Pokemon can’t sense this Aura.
What is known as "Aura Power" is essentially enhancing one’s perception of this Aura and even utilizing it.
"It feels a bit like ki and ki blasts."
Those who practice and aim for Aura, known as Aura Guardians, can harness this Aura Power.
Whether it’s telepathic communication with Pokemon or the physical manifestation of Aura in "Aura Spheres," it works the same way.
Of course, these abilities require a high level of mastery over "Aura Power" to use them freely.
After awakening "Aura Power," the most basic changes include enhancing one’s physical strength, reaction speed, perception, vision, hearing, and more.
Further development and enhancement can lead to night vision and Aura perception.
At a higher level, one can gain telepathy, holographic projection, physical manifestation of Aura, and even Aura transfer.
When one reaches a sufficiently high level, Aura might even involve "life" itself?
"It feels similar to qigong," Jing He muttered, his expression odd.
Indeed.
The Pokemon world is a high-martial world.
You see, the Power of Everlasting, psychic abilities, and qigong are akin to priests, mages, and warriors, respectively.
Add to that the martial artists who push their physical bodies to extreme limits, and you have a clear example of body refinement.
Moreover, there are the one-in-a-million "Supreme Newborns" with the Body of the Saint.
"So, am I at the third stage of Aura Power now?!"
Jing He couldn’t help but comment sarcastically.
"Feeling like I could start a sect and become a fake guru by cultivating ‘Aura Power’ to a certain level?"
"But even without ‘Aura Power,’ I could probably be a fake guru with the ‘Pokedex’ alone."
The difference is:
The "Pokedex" only applies to Pokemon, while "Aura Power" can be used for anything and everything.
Of course, sarcasm aside, the benefits of "Aura Power" are evident.
It grants him a more acute insight, allowing him to better handle most situations in battles.
If he can enhance his "Aura Power," commanding Pokemon in battles will become even more effortless.
Most importantly!
"In the future, I can also use cheats when facing cheaters."
Facing opponents with the Power of Everlasting and psychic abilities, he wouldn’t be at a significant disadvantage in unrestricted battles.
Worst case scenario, they can both use cheats.
"Speaking of which, enhancing ‘Aura Power’ can apparently allow me to see through things?"
Cough.
Hmm.
"Aura Power is pretty good."
Jing He cleared his throat, accepting the fact that he possessed this talent and finding motivation to improve it.
"If only I had a Pokemon that could use Aura."
However, capturing Pokemon can’t be forced.
Gengar and the others were already enough to keep him busy.
"Actually, Aura Power can also assist in Mega Evolution."
After all, Mega Evolution requires a strong bond between the Trainer and the Pokemon, and the physical enhancement from Aura Power can extend the duration of the Mega Evolution.
This is why the Kanto region’s Kokobul required his granddaughter to train with Lucario.
Jing He suddenly remembered.
It seemed Gengar’s Mega Evolution was only missing a "Key Stone."
[How does it feel?]
Lucario’s voice echoed in Jing He’s mind once again.
"Mew~"
Mew circled around Jing He happily, its eyes curved in a smile, looking very content.
Gengar and the others also ran over, eyeing him curiously.
"Growl?" (Are you dead yet?)
"Gengar?" (Did you awaken Aura Power?)
"Yawn..." (You seem a bit stronger...)
Lucario’s hands were placed on his chest, mimicking the stance for releasing an "Aura Sphere."
"Chu?" (Can you, can you, can you ‘shuuu’ yet?)
Jing He’s lips twitched.
I appreciate your concern.
"It feels... pretty good," Jing He said.
Lucario nodded.
[It seems my judgment was off.]
Hearing this, Jing He smiled and patted its shoulder, signaling it not to worry.
His awakening of "Aura Power" was partly due to Lucario’s influence, and Mew’s assistance was also significant.
With the dual support, especially from Mew, his talent in this area was clearly lacking.
"Having a bit of a talent gap isn’t a big deal."
[I misjudged your talent. Your Aura talent might be even better than Lord Aron’s!]
They spoke simultaneously.
Then they looked at each other, blinking in surprise.
Good talent?
Poor talent?
Finally, Lucario explained:
[You managed to grasp Aura Perception right after awakening, something I only managed to do with Lord Aron’s training.]
In its mind, it recalled the scene of practicing in a forest of hanging, swaying bottles under Aron’s guidance.
Jing He was taken aback.
It turned out that it wasn't the third stage of Fighting Power, but rather innate Full Soul Power.
Uh, I must have walked into the wrong scene.
But, will I have the chance to subdue Pokemon with my bare hands in the future?
The lush World Tree, a haven for countless wild Pokemon living carefree.
"Mew~"
Mew held a whistle and blew it at Jing He with a "toot toot."
Then, it rummaged through a pile of toys and pulled out a wooden box. When it opened, a spring-loaded Pigglywiggly "Duang" popped out.
Seeing Mew go to great lengths to show off its toys, a complex expression flashed across Jing He's face.
He gently patted Mew's head and said softly,
"Mew, parting is only for a better reunion."
If I don't leave now,
I don't know how long Dianthus and the others can hold on.
"Mew~"
Mew looked like a wilted eggplant, its expression full of reluctance.
Am I going to be alone again?
Jing He smiled faintly.
"If you ever get bored, you can always come find us to play. I believe that with your abilities, even if you can't leave the World Tree for long, short-distance travel shouldn't be a problem."
"Mew?"
Mew realized.
That's right!
It immediately perked up.
"Once we get to Hoenn, I'll treat you to some coffee," Jing He said with a smile.
The little one didn't know what "coffee" was, but it nodded enthusiastically.
"Then, I'll leave it to you."
"Mew~"
Mew's eyes blinked, and a sudden bright light enveloped Jing He and the others.
The next moment,
When they opened their eyes again, they were at the entrance of the World Tree.
Teleportation is indeed one of the most bugged psychic abilities.
"Mew~"
Although they had already talked it through, Mew still clung to Jing He's clothing pitifully, whimpering softly.
Seeing its expression, Jing He had a sudden idea.
"I'll be staying in Ordran for a day or two. Come find me, and I'll buy you some new toys."
Mew's toys were outdated, and it was time to get it some new ones.
At the same time,
Jing He had another idea.
That is,
to give Mew some shows to watch.
When it's bored, watching shows can be a good way to pass the time.
Especially that "Foamy Squirrel Adventure," which is like "Doraemon" and has no end, making it perfect.
Once it finishes watching, I can give it more.
In Jing He's view, the Pokemon world's TV shows, which he finds boring, should still be quite attractive to a little one like Mew who has never experienced them.
'Come to think of it, since "Foamy Squirrel Adventure" is so successful, making a "Tom and Jerry" version—no, it should be called "Meowth and Pikachu"—should have a good audience rating, right?'
This would be much easier to produce than the scripts he had thought of before.
"Mew?"
New toys?
Mew, being the innocent little one it is, quickly forgot its reluctance at the mention of new toys.
It waved goodbye to Jing He and the others with a smile.
"Mew~~ (ˊˋ)"
Jing He smiled and waved back.
Mew hummed an unknown tune and flew back to the World Tree.
It was probably already looking forward to the next time it would visit Jing He and the others.
Outside the core of the World Tree.
Boom!!
"Regi—"
The red lights on Regirock, Regice, and Registeel gradually faded, returning them to their original forms.
After a deep look at their opponents, they slunk away.
These guys were tough.
One or two Pokemon were manageable, but a group of five or six combined was a different story.
What was most infuriating was
They realized too late that they were all missing something!
"Is it over?"
Cynthia gently tucked a strand of her golden hair behind her ear, her exquisite face slightly flushed from the battle, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
Battling legendary Pokemon had completely unleashed her.
"The teacher should have succeeded."
Dianthus's handsome and resolute face showed a hint of regret.
What a pity about those stones.
Caitlin looked at Cynthia on her left and Dianthus on her right, unable to help but think,
Can you two stop being so excited?
Among the three, she had the most pressure.
Without her psychic powers, her Pokemon alone wouldn't have been able to hold back Regice.
At that moment,
"Lucario?"
Cynthia's Lucario suddenly looked ahead, its expression filled with surprise.
"What's wrong, Lucario?" Cynthia asked.
Lucario pointed, and Jing He and the others were walking out of the World Tree.
"Lucario..." Lucario's expression was one of confusion and surprise.
How did Jing He awaken Aura?
"Are you all right?" Jing He also saw the three of them.
"We're fine," Cynthia and Dianthus smiled and shook their heads.
"Hmph," Caitlin pouted.
"Is everything settled?" Cynthia asked.
"Yep."
Most of it is settled, but there's still the daily life of the "left-behind kid" to take care of.
"By the way, Dianthus, can you help me bring some things into Ordran?"
A couple of days ago, while visiting Ordran, Jing He noticed that the city seemed to lack modern technology, with a more rustic and simple lifestyle.
"No problem," Dianthus nodded without hesitation, then asked,
"Teacher, how many cargo planes do you need?"
