RE: Pokémon: The legend of Aura
Time-skip time!
i hate to say there's alot of talking in this chapter though.
Chapter 5
7 Years have passed, and many of the students, Aaron and Linc being among them, now earned the right to carry the title of Aura Wielder. They have passed every challenge they were faced with, save one. A trial. Split up into smaller groups, they were to accompany an Aura Wielder on one of their missions. Due to their friendship, and more likely, their knowledge of eachother's techniques and sense of teamwork, Aaron and Linc were paired up for their mission.
"Aaron, Linc...you have done well, these last few years." Arc said. "I grant you the title of Aura Wielder, but first, like all other students before you, i will send you on a mission, so you can prove you are truly worthy to carry such responsability."
"What is this mission, then?" Linc asked
"At request of the royal family of Cameron, we are to attempt an infiltration mission on Almia Castle, and attempt to kill Almia's king. I tried to convince them that the prophecy would be fulfilled eventually, and killing king Krai is a useless gesture, but they insisted... And in such case, we have no choice." Arc explained.
"You're entrusting this sort of mission to us?! No offense, but that's impossible!" Aaron objected.
"No, you are right. Such a mission would be dangerous for you, but in order to infiltrate the castle, and discover it's location in the first place, we'll need help from someone who's been on the inside. That's were you come in. Years ago, the three princes of Almia were banished for reasons unknown to us. Right now our only hope is to find them, and hope they join our cause." Arc continued
"So we just have to look for these princes? ...That could take a while." Linc noted
"Before their banishment, the princes were each in possesion of a single sphere, and are even to this day, kept safe, guarded by mythical pokémon. The spheres aren't important, but the pokémon that guard these spheres are still connected to the princes by an unbreakable bond. They will know where the princes are at all times. And fortunatly, we know where those pokémon can be found." Arc explained.
"So, what kind of pokémon are we dealing with here?" Aaron asked out of general curiosity.
"Unfortunatly, no one knows. I have sent Dio out in advance, he will meet you on Shamuti Island, where the spheres of the princes are supposedly kept." Arc finished.
Having overheard the conversation, Girat quickly retreated to his room, just before Aaron and Linc left. He kneeled in the somewhat darkened room, and summoned his master.
"My lord...i have some news you might find interesting..." Girat spoke, not knowing if he would get a reply.
"News of what sort?" the mysterious voice replied.
"I've overheard a mission briefing from Arc...he mentioned three spheres. I'm positive these spheres aren't what we're looking for, but they could be of use to us." Girat said.
"I know the items you speak of... my sons were once their owners. Ever since their banishment, i have made sure the guardians of these spheres obey only my command. Long story short, your information is of no use to me, neither are the spheres. Now leave and don't dare to return until you know of something i can actually put to good use!" the voice yelled, intimidating Girat.

Meanwhile, Aaron and Linc reached the harbor of Cameron, where they would travel to Shamuti Island by sea. On their way to the ship that would carry them across, their attention was diverted to a small gathering of people.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" the crowd yelled as Aaron and Linc pushed their way through.
"Let's not make this more complicated...I have some urgent bussiness to attend to in Hoenn, so why don't you just stop whining and help a man out here?" One of the men standing in the center said. This man, as made obvious by the Weavile standing in front of him, was the trouble-maker.
"No money, no deal! I wouldn't set out for people like you even if you did have the money!" The other man, apparently captain of a ship, replied.
"In my opinion, you need to...cool off! ...Weavile!" the man said as his Weavile prepared himself to attack. "Weavile, use an Ice Shard to make him see the light." the man continued.
Before the Weavile could use it's attack, Aaron's now fully evolved Pidgeot swooped out of the sky, and used a Sky Attack to knock Weavile out. The Weavile's owner needed a few seconds to take in what just happened right before him.
"Well that brings back some akward memories..." He thought to himself.
"Still picking on people smaller than you?" Aaron called out, and stepped into the ring created by the people surrounding them.
"You know, kid...If you hadn't gotten in my way all those years ago, i would've had the money to pay this guy!" The man pointed out.
"You can swim to Hoenn for all i care. You have about two minutes before my good friend up there is ready to attack again." Aaron warned.
"This isn't over yet, kid." the man yelled, and headed through the crowd, passing by Aaron on his way. "The name's Willis...remember it!" Willis said and dissapeared into the crowd.
Shortly after, the group of people dispersed and things turned back to the way they were. It was almost as if nothing happened in the first place. The man who was being attacked came up to Aaron and Linc.
"I thank ye fer yer help, if there's any way fer me to repay ye, let me know." the man said.
"Well, do you know a man named Briney? He's the captain of a ship that was supposed to ferry us to Shamuti Island." Linc asked.
"Briney, says you? You're in luck, lads! As far as i knows, i'm the only Briney 'round these parts! I take it you be Aaron and Linc then?" Briney assumed.
"That's right, but...how do you know our names?" Aaron asked.
"Them Aura Wielders ye be a part of, I cross the seas only for them. That's why yer Weavile-abusin' friend attacked me." Briney said.
Moments later, Aaron and Linc boarded Briney's fairly small boat, looking more like an over-sized dinghy with a cabin on top of it. The ride across the sea seemed to take forever. Except for a few pokémon popping out of the water every now and then, the view wasn't all that great either. After a full three-day journey, Aaron and Linc finally arrived on Shamuti Island. Just when they were done praising the solid ground for being able to walk again, they were greeted by Dio.
"About time you two got here..." Dio said lazily, crossing his arms.
"So what's the current situation?" Linc asked.
"Well aren't you the straight-to-the-point kinda guy? I've asked around about the spheres, and the pokémon that guard them, but no one seems to be of any help. It's not that they can't, they just don't want to help it seems..." Dio explained.
"I did hear rumors about some sort of shrine on the other side of the island though. I've been meaning to check it out, but i decided to wait 'till you got here." Dio continued.
With that, the three headed off to the far side of the island.
