Chapter 440: A New Way to Use Aura
The two little bros defected.
Druddigon couldn't avoid being chased by Will in the end, scurrying away with his head covered.
Two big feet stomping on the ground making loud "boom" sounds, attracting many people and Pokémon to watch.
Will specifically took a glance.
Wolf Mom and the four tyrants of Wolf Mountain were not there.
Looks like they came back too hurriedly, so Kaoru hasn't had time to pick Wolf Mom up yet.
Or rather.
There is no need.
After all, the distance from Mt. Silver to Celestic Town is quite far.
Wolf Mom's size is also big.
If not entering the Poké Ball, wanting to transport to Celestic Town without alarming the public can only rely on the power of the League.
After teaching Druddigon a lesson.
Big Silly took Victini running into the Celestic forest to play.
Their strength completely doesn't need Will to worry about encountering any danger.
Just don't let those little cuties living in the Celestic forest be scared to death by Big Silly.
Will followed Kaoru and others into the house.
"Cynthia, how long are you preparing to rest at home?"
Kaoru took a sip of water, sitting on the sofa crossing her legs.
The black silk and pure black high heels on her legs amplified her charm.
It's a pity in this home.
The only one who can appreciate such beauty is Will.
And Will is a Pokémon.
"Emmm, don't know; want to rest well, this Unova journey was really tiring~ although also left many rare memories."
Cynthia stretched.
She slumped on the sofa without any image, leaning her entire upper body on Will.
This posture of Cynthia was very rare during the journey.
Maybe only when at home, she can show such a relaxed and comfortable appearance.
"True, after all met so many incredible Pokémon, your experience over this half year is more wonderful than many people's whole lives."
"Hehe, Lucario is my lucky star."
Hearing her mother say this, Cynthia reached out and hugged Will.
She knows very well.
Being able to meet these Pokémon is inextricably linked to Lucario.
Kaoru turned her head.
Seeing Cynthia likes Will so much, and the latter only showing a helpless and indulgent expression towards Cynthia's clingy behavior, she couldn't help smiling gently.
This kind of daily interaction between trainer and Pokémon.
Is also quite interesting.
"Since you don't plan to travel out in the short term, then come help me."
"? Me?"
Cynthia opened her narrowed eyes, a look of surprise and doubt appearing in her eyes.
Even Will beside was quite doubtful.
Cynthia is only 12 years old.
What can she help the League Chief with?
"Mm, a ruin was discovered over at the Alabaster Icelands; seems to be a tribe from a thousand years ago. We found some ancient books inside; just right, Cynthia you know ancient characters, can come help me translate."
"Okay okay!"
Hearing her mother's words, Cynthia's eyes lit up immediately.
Reading books from a thousand years ago.
This is simply too interesting!
How is this working?
Clearly going to play!
Will breathed a sigh of relief.
Good it's not some dangerous work.
For Cynthia, translating ancient books is like modern people reading novels, a form of entertainment.
But the tribe in the Alabaster Icelands a thousand years ago...
Talking about the Pearl Clan, right?
The territory of the Pearl Clan believing in the "Space God" Palkia.
The leader of the clan is a girl named Irida.
This is not an ordinary girl; her mother might be from the Celestic Clan, so this child is also good at playing the Celestica Flute. Irida being able to become the leader of the Pearl Clan is largely because she can play this flute.
Maybe can find the melody Irida played back then in the ancient books left by the Pearl Clan.
That melody is the starting part of the sound of the Azure Flute.
As long as the whole movement of the Azure Flute is collected, a road leading to the Hall of Origin can be summoned.
There.
Is the residence of the Creation God Arceus.
"Lucario, you accompany me to go."
"...Can't, Cynthia, I plan to take Big Silly and others home for two months in a couple of days, to accompany Wolf Mom."
Will shook his head, didn't accommodate her this time.
As the saying goes, having wealth and rank and not returning to one's home town is like walking at night in brocade robes.
Himself, this young patriarch, back then carrying the expectations of Wolf Mom and clansmen, was seen off by the wolves to a thousand miles away.
Now became stronger and more handsome, not going back once is really unjustifiable.
He also planned to bring Druddigon and Victini back to acknowledge relatives.
Besides.
Office workers and students all go home to accompany their families during holidays.
What is he, an idle Pokémon, staying here for?
Better go back to manage Wolf Mountain, instruct the four little bros, lead the newly born dog cubs of the clan, and see if there are any reckless clans nearby needing to be taken care of.
"Aww~"
A look of disappointment appeared on Cynthia's face, then hurriedly looked at Kaoru beside her,
"Mom, can the translation work be done a bit later? I don't want to separate from Lucario, can I go with him to find Wolf Mom?"
Cynthia hugged Kaoru's arm shaking gently, using the acting cute technique secretly learned from Will.
But Will has to say.
Still needs practice.
This level of maturity compared to him, is simply too far!
It's just that the current image of this Lucario is too aloof and sharp; the effect of using the acting cute technique has to be discounted several times.
Otherwise, letting him, still a Piplup, act coquettishly to Kaoru, the latter guarantees to soften her heart and agree in seconds.
"Umm... right, anyway you have nowhere to live if you go to Wolf Mountain. How about this, you go with Lucario, usually act as an assistant in Professor Rowan's laboratory, translating for me over there is also no problem."
Kaoru pinched her chin thinking for a moment, proposing a new idea.
Professor Rowan's laboratory is very close to Wolf Mountain.
Driving only takes less than two hours.
Moreover, Cynthia can ride Garchomp over, very convenient.
Usually can also learn knowledge and study ancient books by Professor Rowan's side.
"Yay! Lucario, we can go together!"
Cynthia pounced over again.
The weight of the whole person pressed on Will, making him quite helpless.
The clinginess of Blonde-kun can already be compared with Meowscarada.
Liz and Lorelei were not that clingy.
"Yes yes~"
Time flashed to the afternoon.
Will and Cynthia were ordered by Kaoru to go out and buy groceries.
Carolina will come home at night.
Everyone holding a banquet on the grassland at the door together.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Carolina arrived as promised; arriving with her were also other guests.
Will took a look, instantly understood in his heart.
Briar.
A teacher from Blueberry Academy, also considered a research scholar, specializing in researching the Great Crater of Paldea, wanting to prove what her ancestors said is correct, not some ghost story.
Current Briar looks relatively young, should be just under twenty years old.
Coming this time is either learning from Carolina, or Blueberry Academy just founded wanting to invite Carolina to be an advisor or something.
"Kaoru, Cynthia, this is Briar, a scholar from the Paldea region, will follow me to study for a period of time next."
"Hello everyone."
Briar bowed slightly to everyone, looking relatively cold, having a certain sense of distance.
But this couldn't stump Kaoru, whose affinity with all things is very high.
Chatted with Briar in just a few words.
Although Kaoru is not a professor, with her experience and knowledge, she can also be called a powerful scholar; in a few words made Briar call her sister convincingly.
The few people here gathered together chatting about academic topics ordinary people couldn't understand.
The few Pokémon beside were either eating or gathered together playing around.
Druddigon's two little bros.
Rampardos and Bastiodon lay beside Will like two little bodyguards.
This is not called betraying Big Silly.
It's called a wise man submits to circumstances.
Besides, Big Silly is also Will's little bro.
Will sat on the grass aside and yawned, looking at the scenes nearby and pursing his lips slightly.
Such days are very good.
"Woof."
Just at this time, a dog bark came from beside.
Will turned his head to look.
It was a Lucario.
Observing his complexion and the roughness of his fur...
It's Carolina's, not Kaoru's.
"Yes, already learned, but I don't have a bone."
Will listened to the other party's words, nodded,
"Carrying a bone around is too troublesome; I plan to give up this move directly."
"Woof."
Lucario signaled Will to look at him.
Confirming the latter's gaze moved over, he raised his hand; light blue Aura surged out in his hand.
First was a round energy body—Aura Sphere.
Then the Aura Sphere extended to both sides, gradually lengthening turning into a long bone energy body.
"Hm?"
Will's eyes lit up.
Whoosh whoosh!
Lucario held the long bone and swung it seven or eight times in the air, using the move Bone Rush.
But the energy on the long bone dissipated very quickly, completely disappearing after two strikes.
"Woof."
"So that's it."
Will nodded.
He understood.
Aura Sphere and Aura Barrier are actually a simple manifestation of Aura materialization.
And transforming the Aura Sphere is an advanced application method.
But also has limitations.
Aura energy losing its energy supply source will dissipate in the air at a quite fast speed.
And keeping the supply of Aura all the time consumes too much Aura.
Once the consumption of Aura exceeds a threshold, the outcome...
Lightly, like Will's third life, losing a large amount of lifespan.
Heavily, like Sir Aaron and Lucario in the previous life, directly losing life.
That would be too outweighed by the loss.
The usefulness of this Aura materialization indeed exists, but not as big as Will imagined.
But this trick Lucario showed just now.
Indeed brought him some new ideas.
Aura won't be limited to formless or a sphere.
Then can he transform Aura and attach it to other moves?
Like...
Haki coating in the One Piece world.
Coating Aura on other moves, to improve the penetration and power of other moves.
