章 9: Ch8- Aura and My Second Pokemon
After Running for an hour or so, I started walking deep into the forest. I met some bugs like Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle and even flying types like Pidgeotto. Although I did not battle any Weedle and Pidgeotto, I made Riolu practice with the other bugs.
I got some Bug Repellers to avoid swarms of beedrill, although there are no Repels in this world, I found something similar which were made to avoid Beedrills. I know that a mega beedrill is badass but beedrill in itself is weak, but everyone fears it due to the sheer amount of numbers and poison potency it has.
It was already evening now and I thought to settle down and search for Pokemon tomorrow. I also learnt a lot about aura through books and some online videos when I was an assistant to Prof.Oak.
Now its time to put that in Riolu's head.
"Ok girl, now its time for some mental practice. Aura is a form of spiritual energy which is the essence of every living creature, the aura is just like a sound wave so close your eyes and try to feel it, ignore the sound waves. Your line has the natural ability to pick aura around you, so try to get that feeling when you leak aura, it has to be the same feeling. Calm your mind down and try to gather that weird energy around you."
She nodded as if she understood what I said. She closed her eyes and sat in a meditative stance. It's very easy for them to pick up and gather aura for their line, so I was not that worried.
'Trainer.....I...feel....the....aura'
Suddenly I heard a voice inside my head, it was very young and a bit childish. I was ecstatic and when I took a deep look at Riolu, I saw that she was falling down and I quickly caught her.
'She actually fainted'
I think its the mental exhaustion due to conversation. Never thought it would put so much pressure for just a sentence, but considering she is so young and never tried speaking telepathically its understandable. I should ask her to send aura to express emotion first and then gradually step up.
I made her sleep comfortably that night. As we were a bit deep inside the forest I did not sleep properly due to fear of getting attacked. Riolu got up early and was fully recovered. I told her about what to do and took a 2-hour nap for some refreshment. Then, we both started walking deeper to find out what I am looking for. Thankfully, Pokedex has a map and we would never get lost. I opened the map and saw the description of Viridian forest.
::::::::::::::
Viridian forest
The deep and sprawling forest is said to be a natural maze as many people get lost inside. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in, and because of this, the forest is full of Bug and Flying types, that attract bug catchers and other Trainers.
::::::::::::::
It also shows the sightings of rare pokemon. I went in a different route so that I can avoid trainers as Team Rocket can find out where I am, through them. Giovanni can track me using trainer ID but I don't think grunts will inform him about some random trainer.
So according to Pokedex, I am in the territory of the one I want. This one is territorial and attacks anyone it sees as a threat, I just need to wait or maybe lure it with pokemon food. I took some pokemon food and placed it near a tree and started waiting. I can try to sneak attack but I won't be able to earn its respect for it to join my team
After nearly an hour wait, it appeared in front of me. It was a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon. It was green with thin, cream-coloured sections between its head, thorax, and abdomen. It had intimidating eyes and Its forearms consist of large, white scythes. Two pairs of cream-coloured wings extend from its back. It was a Scyther and was nearly 5 feet tall with a big 'X' shaped scar on its abdomen. I am sure this one is a male because its abdomen is a bit smaller when compared with a female.
He saw us looking at him and gave his intimidating stare right back at us. It was time for a battle and also a grand speech to entice it.
"Hey big guy, I am Gunn and recently started my journey. I want to take on the league to become a champion so, I am putting together a team. A team which has one of the strongest pokemon that cannot be found in this forest. I can also promise you some adrenaline-pumping battles and last but not the least, a chance to evolve which you can never get it staying around here."
'Any battle maniac would be tempted by my offer.' It started thinking now as if considering my offer. Then, after a moment it looked me in the eye and started rubbing its scythes as if taunting me.
"Scy Scyther"
'So a battle it is'
"Riolu, go get him, girl". " Riolu"
Scyther started with a quick attack
"Riolu wait for it and circle throw"
As Scyther is flying, it would be better to make it grounded at least for a moment, Quick attack hit Riolu and it was more powerful than expected, but Riolu managed to use circle throw.
Normally wild Pokemon flee in games if circle throw is used but it did not happen here as I already checked with caterpie and pidgey before.
"Now Riolu, Screech and immediately use quick attack"
Scyther got up from its stupor but Riolu was already near to its face, instead of dodging it unleashed a false swipe. Both pokemon were pushed back due to the impact.
"Riolu screech and then wait for it to come closer."
I could use blaze kick but this thing is so fast that I am not even able to keep up with it. Need to tire it out first.
Scyther came closer with dark energy surrounding it, "Scyther Scy Scyther".
'pursuit huh', it won't cause much damage to Riolu.
"Riolu bullet punch and then Screech"
"Riolu lu Riolu"
both attacks clashed and both of them fell back hitting the trees, 'wtf is wrong with this Scyther why is a pursuit that strong.'
"Riolu, Bullet punch again" "Lu"
Scyther wings were glowing white now and again they both clashed but this time Riolu was the one who flew back.
"Scyther Scy Scy Scyther"
'Now it's taunting and mocking me'
So it knows steel wing huh, that will be one more reason for me to catch it at any cost. Anyway it looks a bit tired after unleashing two attacks back to back.
"Riolu Screech and ready that blaze kick."
"Luuuuu..."
Scyther came in with a false swipe and suddenly screech hit it head-on, now is my chance. "Riolu unleash it now"
'Boom... Boom...krash', Scyther flew like a bullet and there was no movement coming from him, I quickly threw a Pokeball at it and went to spray some potion on Riolu.
"You did great buddy, that was one heck of a kick." She fist-pumped me with a tired face and sent an emotion through aura 'Joy and proud'.
Scyther's Pokeball was still shaking and after a long 15 shakes, it clicked.
'hauuuuuu' I gasped some air and was relieved.

Fun fact:
The fire dog Pokemon Arcanine was originally going to be a legendary creature, alongside the trio of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. In fact, in the Pokemon anime's second episode, Ash sees an engraving of Arcanine along with the birds on a stone tablet. The creature's category is also named Legendary Pokemon, despite it being able to be obtained by regular means.
