The beginning of a new road {Path of the Aura Ranger: Book II}

I Max's P.O.V

I was sitting in the plane, next to Ash, who had his Pikachu on his lap. I had my Ralts on my lap as well, I had fallen into the same habit as Ash's of keeping my starter outside at all times. Though, my Ralts has no issue with going back to his Poke Ball, unlike Pikachu. Riley was on the row behind us with Mrs. Ketchum and Professor Oak. They were going to Unova with us, as Professor Oak has some work to do with Professor Juniper. In the meantime, Ash was going through my Pokedex seeing the stadistics of my pokemon team.

"You've been busy this last year," Ash commented with a proud smile, making me blush. "Let's start with your starter first."

My Pokedex electronic voice rang through the private plane. Oh, did I forget to mention that the Unova Ranger Comission had sent us a private plane? Well, they did, because that's what being The Saint gets you.

Pokemon: Ralts.

Gender: Male.

Ability: Synchronize.

Type: Psychic/Fairy.

Move set: Teleport, Double Team, Disarming Voice, Calm Mind, Confusion, Hypnosis, Life Dew.

Egg moves: Shadow Sneak.

NOTE: The egg move has yet to have been unlocked.

"Synchronize, that's a nice ability and Shadow Sneak is a good egg move to have, it gives a nice variaety to the moves types your pokemon can learn. Not to mention, that once he evolves into Gallade it will makke him hard to get a hold on during a battle," Ash hummed, making Ralts blush under his praises. "Now we need to focus on having him learn some damage inflecting moves, he lacks those. Psybeam should be a priority, so is Swift... we could also teach him Draining Kiss. What do you think?" I looked down to Ralts who smiled back, he shared my excitement. We both nodded togather, making Ash smile at us. "Good! Let's move to Mightyena next!"

Pokemon: Mightyena.

Gender: Female.

Ability: Quick Feet.

Type: Dark.

Move set: Tackle, Bite, Dig, Snarl, Sand Attack, Scary Fang, Crunch, Yawn.

"Good of you to start her on moves outside her pokemon type," Ash praised me. "You also managed to teach her Crunch, with Bite already in her arsenal it should have been easier. Also, teaching her Yawn was a strock of genius, keeping your opponent asleep is a nice startegy when they overpower you. Next we should teach her the elemental fang attacks, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, and Ice Fang, they will aid her take down pokemon of various types. I'll have my Mightyena tutor her, I'll also bring Sylveon around, maybe he'll aid her unlock her egg move. She's already evolved on her final form and has experience training with you dad, it won't be too soon for her or affect her. I'll also have Pikachu mentore her in learning Iron Tail."

"I would like to teach her Substitute too," I spoke up once I was sure Ash had finished.

"That's a good idea!" Ash exclaimed. "Any of my pokemon can guide her on that move."

"Thank!" I thanked him.

"Now, Shuppet," Ash went for my next pokemon.

Pokemon: Shuppet.
