Chapter no.256 Pokelantis

[ POV Change ]
[ Fuchsia City - South Eastern Forest ]
Austin and Yellow walked along the grassy pathway in the forests of Kanto.
All they saw were trees.
Suddenly, Austin held onto Munna who was happily enjoying herself suddenly they saw something on top of the trees. Movement. Leaves stirring. His eyes focused and Austin saw another creature.
As a small Pidgey flew off carrying a Caterpie in its beak.
The bird that sat atop the tree glanced dismissively at Austin direction, then it flapped its wings and flew away. Disappearing behind the treeline.
{ Should we stop that Pidgey ? } Munna innocently asked.
" No, let it be. It is the cycle of life and we shouldn't interfere with such things."
{ But isn't it a human's nature to interfere with the balance of nature for their own amusement and greed. }
Munna's words caused Austin to sweatdrop since she had said it in such a child-like voice.
" How about this ? I don't answer whatever that was and you'll get a lolipop when we get back."
{ Yaaay ! }
" Where are we going ?" Yellow asked as she readjusted the scarf around her neck that revealed the adorable Dratini around her neck who was sleeping.
To anyone looking outside, Yellow seemed to be wearing a heavy scarf in the middle of summer.
" Luacrio, where are we going ?"
" When we get there, you'll know." Lucario answered back as he enjoyed Austin's suffering.
" Well you heard our bully, yellow." Austin answered back while handing Yellow a water bottle.
" I am not thirsty, Ash."
" Trust me, you'll need it."
Austin said while opting to not mention that it was due to her wearing Dratini like a scarf in the middle of Summer while Austin wore sweatpants and a T-shirt with his jacket wrapped around his waist.
" Stop flirting and more walking." Lucario commanded causing Yellow to blush.
Austin meanwhile was not fazed a bit.
" Pika, Pi." Pikachu cried out to Austin as he did a grabbing motion with his paws to Austin.
" What is it, buddy?"
" Pi."
Pikachu dramatically pointed at the water bottle in Austin's hands.
" You want to drink."
Pikachu shook his head and did a grabbing motion causing Austin to hand over his bottle to the electric mouse.
" Chaa !" Pikachu cried out in ecstasy as he felt the coolness of the water bottle against his fur.
As everyone walked, the scenery of the forest was beautiful though, colors began to form more vibrant and the air felt far fresher than you would find back on earth.
Seeing Pokémon everywhere was also neat as Austin came across a Weedle and Metapod and a lot more arthropods. Austin and Yellow saw a few bird Pokémon in the sky and even spotted one herd of Rapidash with a Ponyta. Most pokémon stayed out of their way, they were skittish like real animals.
' Did anyone ever die to Weedle ?' Austin morbidly thought.
The thing with Pokémon was that almost every creature was as deadly as a machine gun, worst in most cases. Even a Weedle you would run away from in the pokemon anime and game had poison and a stinger that could kill you with just a headbutt. If poison doesn't kill you, bacteria will.
Not all Pokémon were this peaceful, the aforementioned Rapidash made it clear to the group that they had to stay away from the small Ponyta.
Austin and Yellow ducked under a few vines as they found themselves in what appeared to be a small cavern lit by a similar luminescent moss as that found in the Safari Zone's underwater cave.
" Woah, pretty." Yellow said as she touched the moss on the ground before crying out in pain.
" Ow."
" Careful with that." Austin said in worry.
" Don't worry, I am fine." Yellow reassured Austin before going back to touching the moss.
This time she would be more careful.
Yellow told herself while Austin turned to Lucario.
" Why are we here, Luacrio ? Weren't we going to start with aura training ?" Austin asked as Luacrio pointed towards a small pond in the middle of this cavern.
" An Underwater pond ?"
" Thank you for that genius, I could see that" Lucario sarcastically said before he shut up from Austin's glare.
" Remember the theory you told me about."
" The one about Aura."
" Was there another theory you told me about ?"
" Touché."
" So that night, when I took a stroll."
" You disappeared." Austin cut Luacrio off only to get bonked in the head.
" When I took a STROLL that night, I thought of how to approach your method and then I remembered the ways of the ancient pokelantis warriors."
Luacrio's words caused Austin's eyes to widen as he remembered the anime episode about the sealed king of Pokelantis.
" Something wrong ?"
" No, continue with your tales, Master Lucario."
" Hmm, that has a nice ring to it. Well, anyway where was I ?"
" Ancient Pokelantis Warriors." Austin said causing Lucario to pat his head.
"The Ancient pokelantis warriors were essentially a group of elite aura wielders who had special runes burnt into their skin. Each rune was used to store the life force of multiple pseudo legendaries. With his elite army, the king of Pokelantis hunted down the God of Life, Ho-oh."
Lucario finished his tale only to find Austin a few feet away from him with Austin, Pikachu and Munna looking at him incredulously.
" Ow " Yellow said as she pricked her finger on a stalagmite shard.
Luacrio meanwhile looked at Austin and the others in confusion.
When and why are they so far away from me ?
" Munna, do old pokemon suffer from insanity?"
{ I don't know. }
" Well, we have our proof." Austin, Munna and Pikachu turned to Luacrio whose eyebrows twitched in irritation.
" You know I can hear you." Lucario said causing Austin to reply," Oh, Thank God, he isn't that old."
" Ok, stop with the witty commentary and unfunny jokes. Do you want to stay there and count the number of hairs growing out of your arse ?"
" Pika, Pika, Pika."
Pikachu and Munna collectively giggled at Lucario's words as Austin replied," Now, look who's doing the witty commentary and unfunny jokes"
Austin clapped his hands and said," So when do we start with the ritual of Pokelantis ?"
" Wait, what are you talking about ?" Lucario questioned.
" Aren't you going to perform the ritual of Pokelantis Warriors on me ?"
" No, that ritual has been lost to the annals of time. I, merely used what little knowledge I have about the ritual to construct a way for you to use aura."
" Nice, so is this going to change me ?"
" How so ?"
" Like my muscles would get swollen, I would get taller and have superhuman abilities." Austin asked with stars in his eyes while everyone in the room sweatdropped at his description of the change.
" How about you leave your delusions with your mind ? This ritual is going to allow you to gain access to your aura without training for years."
" Alright, so do I like, meditate or something?"
" Just get into the water and I'll do the rest." Luacrio said as he pointed towards the small pond.
" You sound like a sex offender." Austin commented but quickly chose to close his mouth when Lucario formed an aura sphere in his paw.
" Water, Now !"
