On a very sunny day, near the forest behind Cerise Lab, two teenagers were having lunch with their Pokémon.
"You said you had aura right?'' Goh asked.
Ash swallowed the bite of his sandwich.
"Yeah, but I couldn't use it because I didn't have a Riolu or Lucario yet."
"Since now you have one, why don't you try to access your aura now?"
Lucario's ears perked up at Goh's suggestion.
Ash shook his head.
"No, there is no aura master here and if we fail, I don't know the consequences. Although I know an aura master, I have no idea how to contact him."
Lucario's ears fell, showing clear disappointment. Dragonite came and hugged the aura pokemon to comfort it.
There were not a lot of people with aura and even less those who mastered it. The chance of meeting one is slim.
Pitying Lucario, Goh tried to convince Ash.
"But haven't you already accessed it before? You could easily guide Lucario through it!"
Ash frowned.
"I don't know, give me some time to think about it."
Goh sighed and nodded accepting Ash's request.
"Okay then, anyw- Gengar! Don't steal the other's food!"
......
A few days passed and in those days, Goh and Lucario kept on asking Ash to show his aura. At times, they were desperate but Ash kept giving them the same answer. So, eventually, they let it go.
But, one day, the onyx-haired boy approached them.
"I have decided to show you but!-'' Ash interrupted their celebration."-you must convince professor Cerise to supervise us."
Goh grinned at him and turned to face Lucario who was equally stoked as him.
"Let's go Lucario!"
Lucario!~
They left running to go find the professor.
"Pikachu, do you think I will regret my decision?'' Ash questioned, a minute after they left.
Pika pii~ Pikachu shrugged.
......
"So why are we in here?"
"To stud- I mean, to keep an eye on you!"
Stammered Professor Cerise.
That sounded oddly like study to ash but he'll let it slide.
Right now he and Lucario were in a grey-tiled room in Cerise Lab with a viewing window on the side where he could see multiple machines on the other side. The room itself was rather spacious but this one wasn't soundproof, he could hear noise outside of the room and vice-versa. Ash sat cross-legged facing the Pokémon in the middle of the room.
Ash turned towards the window.
"You go, Ash!"
"Good luck!"
