Ch. 3: The Aura Knights

 

On a large rocky mountain the girl in blue climbs a path alongside her Clefairy.

    “Aire, you’re late.” A small girl with long blond hair in the same outfit only wearing a skirt stands on a higher ledge looking down on her.

    “I’m sorry I’m late Yuri.” Aire says looking up at her and the girl jumps down to her.

    “Geez, stop apologizing Aire, I’m just tired of waiting for my snacks.” Yuri says annoyed at her apologizing nature.

    “Aire, did you get my snacks.” A large man in the same outfit as the others jumps down on the ledge as well shaking it a bit.

    “Sean, you idiot your too large to be jumping around on this mountain.” Yuri says yelling at Sean smacking him about.

    “You three stop standing around there, hurry up and get up here.” A red haired man in the same outfit says standing up on the ledge in front of the group.

    “Lee, stop being such a party pooper, were coming.” Yuri yells up to Lee.

 

A second later the group walks towards a large building built into the side of the mountain, on the inside they see a large room leading with a sofa and various items leading to a hallway in the back.

            “Aire, you’re back you took too long.” A tall woman with pink hair in the same outfit as the others, grabbing onto Aire.

            “Margery, please don’t grab onto me so tight.” Aire says trying to peal Margery off of her.

            “Margery your finally up, why don’t you get to training.” Lee says yelling at Margery.

            “I don’t wanna, besides I haven’t gotten my books from Aire yet, so I can’t work until I get them.” Margery says as she let’s go of Aire and goes to the sofa and lies down, angering Lee.

            “It’s no use getting angry that’s just how Margery is.” Sean says as he gets a bag of chips and starts eating.

            “You to stop eating, we’re never gonna be taken seriously if you guys keep lazing around like this.” Lee yells out angered by the actions of his compatriots.

            “Geez, you guys are being so loud again.” A with black hair in the same outfit as the others comes from the back of the hallway alongside a Hitmonlee.

            “Erin, get these idiots to stop lazing about, were not getting any work done.” Lee yells up to Erin as he starts walking down to Lee and grabs him by the face and starts lifting him off the ground.

    “Lee, what have I told you a dozen times?” Erin says holding him up.

            “You’ve told me to stop yelling.” Lee says in pain by the face grip.

            “Exactly, so then will you ever listen or will I have to toss you again?” Erin asks Lee intensifying his grip.

            “Sir no sir.” Lee says as Erin’s grip loosens and he falls to the ground, as the others start laughing at him as he picks himself off the ground.

            “So then what’s the issue?” Erin asks looking around before noticing Aire. “Oh Aire, did you bring the items I asked for?” Erin asks her as she starts searching the bag.

            “Oh yes here’s the Focus Sash you asked for the store was out of the other ones.” Aire says handing Erin a red cloth.

            “Well thanks for your effort.” Erin says happily.

 

Suddenly a man with blue hair and the same outfit as the others alongside a Lucario walks into the room and looks around.

            “Oh there you all are.” The man says looking at the group, before noticing Aire in particular. “Aire is anything wrong?” He asks her causing her to gain the whole rooms attention.

            “Well something happened on my errand, a wired group of people tried to kidnap me.” Aire says shocking the room causing everyone in it to run to her side.

            “Are you okay? Did they hurt you?” Yuri says grabbing her arm.

            “Are you sure they weren’t just trying to rob you?” Sean says trying to gain her attention.

            “I can understand why someone would try and take my cute little Aire, but I won’t allow anyone to take her away.” Margery says grabbing onto Aire.

            “Who were the punks? Tell me and I’ll go down there and kick their asses.” Lee yells out angry at the news.

            “Calm down, so Aire who were they?” Erin asks Aire.

            “I think they were that gang, the Punkz was it.” Aire says thinking about her attackers. “But don’t worry a boy passed by and helped me.” Aire says trying to calm the group down.

            “Of course were worried, Aire you’re our weakest member I knew it was too early to send you on errands.” Lee says berating Aire before Yuri starts kicking him.

            “Don’t you dare start bullying Aire again.” Yuri yells out as she keeps kicking Lee.

            “I’m not bullying her I’m just worried is all.” Lee says trying to get Yuri to stop kicking him. “But I do think it’s time we dealt with those idiotic Punkz.” Lee says getting hyped.

            “Don’t get to excited Lee; we don’t even know where their headquarters are.” Sean says trying to rein Lee in.

            “Geez, hey Raymond can you get these rambunctious kids to calm down.” Erin says to the man.

            “Everyone, calm down and let’s think about this before we run off half cocked.” Raymond says as calming down the group.

            “So Aire, why were these guys trying to grab you?” Raymond asks Aire curiously.

            “Well I don’t know, I had left the mart and I went down the same street as always but they were there waiting for me, they said something about a reward for my capture.” Aire says explaining things to everyone.

            “Someone’s out to capture Aire, oh dear this is no good.” Margery says yet again grabbing Aire.

            “So then, we can’t let Aire leave headquarters.” Lee says concerned for Aire.

            “But I can’t just stay cooped up in here.” Aire says concerned about being stuck inside.

            “I’m sorry to say but Lee has the best idea, we have no idea about why the Punkz are after you, but we have to protect you and make sure they don’t grab you.” Raymond says ordering Aire.

 

A while later Aire sits in her room in her pink pajamas alongside her Clefairy staring out the window.

            “Carla, do you think being stuck in here’s a good idea?” Aire asks Clefairy as it floats into the air around her.

            “Do you remember when we joined the Aura Knights?” Aire asks the Clefairy curiously.

            “We were still with mom and dad around that time and you’d just hatched.” Aire says explaining things to Clefairy.

    “One day we were traveling around as usual and suddenly we had run into a Golem.” Aire says still explaining things.

    “Suddenly Raymond popped out of nowhere and battled it, after wards he calmed it down and me moved on.” Sounding amazed.

    “I was so amazed by his strength so when I heard he was a member of the Aura Knights I decide to try out.” Aire says thinking back.

 

Two years ago outside the building, a younger Aire in a yellow outfit alongside a small Cleffa, having just climbed up the mountain.

            “We made it Carla.” Aire says happily celebrating with the Cleffa.

            “Why are you celebrating? All you did was climb a mountain a bit.” A younger Yuri says standing in front of the building eating an ice cream cone. “So what are you doing here?” She asks curiously.

            “I came to join the Aura Knights.” Aire says nervously to Yuri.

            “Hmm, that’s interesting, we don’t get many visitors but to get someone who wants to join is incredibly rare.” Yuri says as she finishes her ice cream and walks up to Aire. “You seem to have a strong enough aura, but is your will strong enough?” Yuri says looking at her.

            “I’m strong enough; I’ll do whatever I must.” Aire says still nervous.

            “Yuri, look at this, they have a new flavor of ice cream in town.” Sean says rushing out of the building holding a flier. “Huh, who’s that?” Sean says looking at Aire.

            “I’m here to join the Aura Knights.” Aire says to Sean still nervous.

            “So then a recruit, Yuri you haven’t called Raymond yet?” Sean asks Yuri.

            “I thought I’d have some fun with her, but you had to come and ruin it.” Yuri says annoyed by Sean.

After a while the other the rest of the group gathers outside and they look at Aire, who’s shacking nervously at their stares.

            “So then you truly wish to join us?” Erin says looking at her, seeing her nodding in agreement. “Okay then why do you?” Erin asks her seriously.

            “A few years ago, my family was traveling around and we accidently upset a Golem on the road, we would’ve been hurt if not for Mr. Raymond coming along and helping us.” Aire says looking straight at Raymond.

            “So then you’re that child from back then.” Raymond says looking at her seriously. “Hey Margery can you bring one of the Aura Stones here?” Raymond asks Margery.

After Margery comes back holding an odd blue stone handing it to Aire.

            “Here you go cutie.” Margery says winking at Aire handing her the stone.

            “What is this?” Aire asks holding the stone looking at it curiously.

            “This is an Aura Stone it’s a stone that responds to your aura when you focus on it and glows brightly.” Raymond says explaining things to Aire. “Just focus on your center and feel your aura flow into the stone.” Raymond explains to Aire.

            “Just focus?” Aire asks the group who nod in response.

Aire focuses in the stone, which refuses to light up despite her attempts.

            “This is a wasted effort, well don’t feel bad not everyone’s capable of using aura so effectively.” Lee says approaching her.

As Lee walks closer the stone suddenly shines blindingly bright, for a few seconds before dimming yet again.

            “Raymond was that what I think it was?” Erin says looking seriously at Aire.

            “Did I do something wrong?” Aire asks nervously as the group looks at her.

            “No you were excellent; it seems you have a magnificent aura.” Margery says walking up to Aire and hugging her.

            “So we have a good prospect for a new member.” Yuri says looking at Aire.

            “Wait a second, just because she has a strong aura doesn’t mean she has what it takes to be a member of the aura knights.” Lee says looking at Aire intensely.

            “Lee, hold your tongue.” Erin says yelling at Lee.

            “Listen; if we’re ever going to be taken seriously we need to do more than just check people’s aura.” Lee says seriously to the group.

            “What do you propose?” Erin asks Lee.

            “I say we test their ability in battle, if they want to join the have to have at least some skill in battle.” Lee says explaining things to the group.

            “Well he does have a point.” Sean says agreeing with Lee, while the others do so silently.

            “So then, girly were going to have a Pokémon Battle.” Lee says seriously to Aire.

The group is lead to a battle field inside the mountain at the back end of the building, with Lee standing on the back end of the field and Aire on the other side her Cleffa standing alongside her.

            “Okay then, we’ll have a one to one battle; the first one who’s Pokémon is knocked out wins.” Lee says explaining the rules to Aire.

            “Okay.” Aire says anxiously “We can do this Carla.” Aire says to her Cleffa trying to excite herself.

            “Let’s go Tyrogue.” Lee says throwing a Poke’ball into the air and a Tyrogue pops out. “Let’s check this newbie’s skills.” Lee says as his Tyrogue takes an offensive stance.

            “So then who do you think will win?” Sean asks Yuri curiously.

            “Well their both baby Pokémon, but Tyrogue has instinctive battling skills while Cleffa might not, but Cleffa’s a fairy type which is strong against the fighting type Tyrogue.” Yuri says thinking about the battle at hand.

            “I’ll let you have the first move, and don’t hold back.” Lee says to Aire from across the field.

            “Okay then, Carla Magical Leaf.” Aire says anxiously as Cleffa unleashes rainbow colored leaves at Tyrogue, with Tyrogue taking the attack seemingly unaffected.

            “You’ll have to try harder than that if you want to do any damage to Tyrogue.” Lee says yelling at Aire. “Okay now Tyrogue, Fake Out.” Lee yells as Tyrogue rushes towards Cleffa and uses the palms of its hands and pushes Cleffa back.

            “Carla, Dazzling Gleam.” Aire yells out but Cleffa can’t seem to use her attacks. “What’s wrong Carla?” Aire asks Cleffa who looks concerned.

            “Fake Out is a move that makes the opponent flinch one hundred percent, so then now Tyrogue Brick Break.” Lee yells out as Tyrogue closes in and karate chops Cleffa.

            “Carla, now Dazzling Gleam.” Aire yells out to Cleffa.

            “Your too late, now finish this off Bullet Punch.” Lee yells out as Tyrogue takes its fist and punches Cleffa intensely knocking it out.

            “Carla.” Aire yells out rushing to Cleffa’s side.

Lee walks up to her and looks at her Pokémon. “Here take these.” Lee says handing Aire a revive and a potion. “You have no skill in battle what so ever.” Lee says brutally to Aire. “But I guess that’s something we have to work on.” Lee says walking off the battle field.

            “Lee’s not such a bad guy after you get to know him.” Sean says walking up to Aire.

            “He is still a huge jerk though.” Yuri says following him.

            “I guess with this Aire you’re officially a member of the Aura Knights.” Raymond says as he walks up to the small group.

 

Back in the presence Aire sits in her room staring outside the window.

            “Hey Carla, I know we’ve gotten a bit better in the past two years, but that boy yesterday thought me something, we have to move forward on our own, we can’t rely on the others.” Aire says to the Clefairy floats to her side happily.

            “Okay then I know what I must do.” Aire says confidently.

 

The next morning as the group gathers in the main room Aire walks in with a serious look on her face.

            “Everyone I have something I want to say to you all.” Aire says seriously to the group as they look on. “Um, I would like to leave.” Aire says shocking everyone.

            “Aire, please don’t leave.” Margery says begging Aire while grabbing her.

            “It’s not like that; I still want to be a member I just want to leave temporarily.” Aire says trying to explain things. “You see I want to try to become stronger, but I realized I can’t do that, unless I do it myself.” Aire says seriously.

            “So then you’re trying to grow stronger, huh?” Raymond says walking up to her. “And you think setting out on your own will help you with that?” Raymond asks her.

            “Aire.” Lee yells out gaining the groups attention. “If you want to leave on a journey, then you’ll have to beat me in a battle.” Lee says seriously.

In the battle field Aire and Lee stand in the same positions they did two years ago with their Pokémon standing by their side.

            “Okay then Aire, same rules as the last time two years ago, one on one battle the one who’s Pokémon gets knocked out losses, and this time I won’t change my opinion after the battle.” Lee yells out to Aire. “And like last time you get first strike.” Lee continues to yell out.

            “Okay then, Carla Dazzling Gleam.” Aire yells out as Clefairy unleashes bright energy that hit’s Tyrogue pushing it back.

            “You’ve improved since last time, but I won’t hold back any more myself.” Lee yells out to Aire. “Tyrogue Fake Out.” Lee yells as Tyrogue rushes across the field and uses the palms of its hands to blast Clefairy back.

            “Carla.” Aire yells out seeing that attack.

            “You know what Fake Out means, now Tyrogue Bullet Punch.” Lee yells out as Tyrogue takes its fist and tries to punch Clefairy.

            “Carla, dodge it and use Flamethrower.” Aire yells out to Clefairy who barely dodges the attack and then blast Tyrogue with a burst of fire.

            “Tyrogue don’t give up, use Strength.” Lee yells out as Tyrogue tightens its muscles and charges at Clefairy, tackling it.

            “Tyrogue finish this, Bullet Punch.” Lee yells out as Tyrogue tries to punch Clefairy, who dodges out of the way and get’s behind Tyrogue.

            “Now then, let’s finish this, Carla Psyshock.” Aire yells out to Clefairy who levitates the stones on the field that then fly into Tyrogue knocking it out.

            “And with this Aire is the winner.” Sean yells out acting as the judge.

Aire walks up to Lee who’s tending to his Tyrogue. “Is Tyrogue hurt too badly?” Aire asks concerned for Tyrogue.

            “He’s fine; he like me is a fighter after all.” Lee says bragging to Aire. “But it looks like you did improve a bit after two years.” Lee says looking at Aire.

 

A while later outside the headquarters the group gathers to see Aire off.

            “Oh, Aire I wish you wouldn’t leave.” Margery says grabbing Aire while crying.

            “I hope everything goes well.” Yuri says trying to pull Margery off.

            “Remember to call every now and then or send a letter or something.” Sean says looking happily at Aire.

            “Aire, I know you’ll come back stronger than ever, after this but don’t forget about us.” Lee says to Aire happily, with Erin nodding beside him.

            “Aire.” Raymond says walking up to Aire. “This is a staff carried by aura warriors of the past, and I’d like you to hold on to it.” Raymond holding Aire a long wooden almost tree branch like staff with an aura stone lodged in the top around a circular swirling wood.

            “Thank you, I’ll do what I can and I’ll come back even stronger than ever.” Aire says as she takes the staff and starts walking off descending from the mountain alongside her Clefairy.

            “Aire, I hope you find what you’re looking for, and above all else that you come back safely.” Raymond says looking at her descend the mountain.

Nothing clever to think of here
