Azucena looked over at Wayne, wondering for a moment how he intended to go about training the Emolga. "Do you remember the first wild pokemon you ever encountered while on your own?" Azucena continued on the way to the mansion and the escape from downpour.

"I remember thinking 'who thought this was a smart idea'."

***

((Should be some sort of guide to look through every time there's a break from the RP to refresh this knowledge.))

Henrietta stepped over to the new cliff face, looking down at the fallen rocks below. "Yeah," she said. She definitely needed more work with Bastion. She whistled for Bastion to come up and when he got within range she recalled him. "Thanks for the match." Henrietta turned to Clay.

So the gym leaders can use Aura, too. A good chance to get some extra information out of one. "Would you mind if I asked you about Aura?"

((It's been real hard not to look at spoilers, man. Also sweet, a post))

Wayne paused for a moment. The tall grass did nothing to stop the rain from beating down, the ground beneath their feet quickly turning to sodden mud. Wayne let out a huff of breath, which became mist on the cold air.

"Yeah," he said, "They're not like in cartoons, are they? C'mon."

The mansion wasn't far now. Once they broke out of the tall grass, they came upon a thin road that led up to the main gate. There were lights on inside, and Wayne heard what sounded like pokémon cries coming from the interior. The trainers hurried up the front steps and Wayne hammered on the double-sized front doors with his fist.

"So what," he said as he stepped back to wait for someone to answer the door, "You never used to be a fan of pokémon training?"

---

((That sounds like a very subtle hint for me to write a guide))

Both the pokémon had been recalled, leaving the gym leader and challenger standing on the cliffside in the pouring rain. Clay wished he'd brought his hat.

"Heh. Ah had a feelin' you might want to know about that. Well we better head on back to ma place. Fer one thing, the critters round here don't take too kindly to people hanging around fer too long. Another... well..."

Clay wiped wet off his forehead, his cheeks rosy. "What with the rain, yer err... yer unmentionables're showing through yer top."

((I just stare at all the pretty pictures.))

Azucena had made sure her Pokemon were all recalled before they got to the door.

"I only have two Pokemon," Azucena said as she looked around the porch. It wasn't the fanciest place she'd ever seen, but it was the fanciest one she'd ever been to. "One I got recently. I think there's a lot more that we can teach each other instead of fighting. Like music. What about you?"

***

((If you would be so kind please sir.))

Henrietta's face lit up like a christmas tree and she covered her chest. "I-it's a bikini top!" she protested but even that assurance didn't stop her from using her ability. The pink crystals would form a top over her own top for her, something she'd been practicing with during her stay in Nimbasa. It wasn't a full top - more like an breast plate of armor fashioned to resemble an over-sized sports bra.

"L-lead the way."

((Activity?! This is most unusual. Let's do this

Also, no problem Jump man, you do what you gotta do 3nodding ))

"I never really thought about pokémon teaching me anything before," said Wayne. The rain had him soaked by now, and though his hood had kept most of his head dry, his face and the front of his hair was still slick with wet. "I guess with my ability, it wouldn't take all that long at all, huh."

Noise began to stir on the other side of the door; the thick sounds of someone fumbling with locks and latches. With one last clunk, the mansion doors were unbarred and opened ajar.

"You two," the man who had opened the door peered out, taking measure of his new visitors, "You're pokémon trainers. State your business."

---

Clay said little on the walk back, mulling over the previous gym battle. A lot had happened in a short space of time. Gym challenges were usually more drawn out, especially against average trainers. Clay found that short matches were the domain of both inept challengers and skilled ones. He had to end the match quickly or else Henrietta would have.

He led her to his lounge. It was a huge dark room, decorated with wood furnishings, bookshelves along the walls and a roaring fire centrepiece with rows of pokémon heads mounted above it. Clay kept a series of comfortable leather seats in front of the fire, orange light licking at them. Clay sat in his favourite armchair and gestured for Henrietta to take her pick of the remaining few.

"Now alright then," Clay said, pouring himself a whiskey before holding the bottle out towards Henrietta, "What's all this about Aura?"

"It's raining, we were hoping we could come in for a little bit." Azucena pointed outside and then looked at the man, trying to look as pitiful as possible.

The man snorted. "Like I would let you ruin Master Rood's carpeting with your mud soaked shoes!"

"Otto," a voice called from a nearby room. "Let them in, it has been quite some time since we've had guests."

Otto grumbled but obeyed. He held too much respect for the man to deny an order from him. "Take your shoes off at least."

Azucena looked over at Wayne as she contemplated briefly which would be better - the rain or the inside of the mansion. She pulled off her shoes and socks and stepped inside.

Otto, the butler, would lead them(assuming Wayne followed) to the living room where Rood sat, sipping himself a warm drink.

If Wayne did indeed follow Rood would recognize him. N had set his eyes on a group of people, and Rood had seen the research done on their persons. Gorm had also set his eyes on destroying this lot and Reid's crew had also faced them before. "Wayne Lee. I had a feeling that one day we would meet."

***

Henrietta had followed along behind Clay, lost in her own thoughts. Bastion was a new addition to her team and she hadn't gotten a chance to train him very well. Not when split between her other Pokemon on top of getting used to aura and training herself.

When he spoke after their arrival Henrietta snapped out of the various strategies passing through her mind. "Aura. Like this." She put two fingers together and then pulled them apart, carefully linking them by a tiny pink crystalline thread. "I wanted to know what you could tell me about it. I know what I can do is probably unique, but I want to know if there's anything I can do directly with Aura itself."

"Me too," Wayne said as he unzipped his coat. The mansion wasn't very fancy on the inside and smelled strongly of pokémon. The trainer could hear scratches and animal cries coming from the other rooms, bodies clattering around beyond the ceiling, which creaked with their weight. Rood's house was infested. Wayne glanced to Azucena for a second, giving her a quiet, worried look. Had they unwittingly entered the domain of a crazy person?

"Err... who are you?"

---

"Heh," Clay put his whiskey down on the table at his side. "Yer telling me that ya manifested yer Aura ability without knowing ought else about Aura?"

He shook his head while wearing a bemused smirk. People these days were always in such a rush to do things that they never took the time to do them properly. Still, how could such a young lass be capable of a full-blown Aura power without understanding the basics? This was worth investigating.

"Ah happen to be something of a master on the subject," Clay said with no small amount of pride. "All us gym leaders are in case ya were wondering. So why don't ya tell me what you know and I'll go an' fill in any blanks."

"My name is Rood." He gestured for the two of them to sit. "Please. Make yourselves comfortable. Otto? A drink for our guests."

Otto bowed politely and went off to the kitchen but if one listened hard enough they could hear him grumble about pokemon trainers.

"I am one of the seven sages of Team Plasma."

***

"I know it's made me a lot stronger. I have more energy, I'm more durable and I'm faster. I know it helps my Pokemon, too. We can sort of communicate. And this, my ability." She waved the trail between her fingers slightly. "Then there's that weird power up thing."

Team Plasma? Wayne's heart threatened to break his ribs, his breathing quickened. They had walked into a trap. Every time they'd run into Plasma, it had ended in some kind of life or death battle. He felt his Aura radiation go tense, like his body was coiled and ready to explode into action.

His face gave away his shock, and Wayne hunched slightly. Rood looked like a harmless old man, but Wayne already knew that Aura could turn even a 10 year old kid into a killing machine, and it could only get more powerful with age.

"Azucena," he said quickly, "Get out of here. I'll hold him off."

---

"Yup, that's about the long and short of it," Clay said. The crackling fire was well on its way to warming the sodden trainers, drying them off as they sat in Clay's dark manor.

"Aura comes from inside of ya, and gets stronger the more yer body is accustomed to it. Don't let all the spiritual mumbo jumbo bother ya. Just think of Aura as yer soul's muscle; the more ya exercise it, the bigger the effect it has on the physical world, though once it reaches a certain point, everyone's Aura levels out to roughly the same strength. That all make sense?"

Clay continued without waiting for a reply. "Now, at first yer Aura will be something ya have to consciously consider, like when yer learning a new skill, like embroidery or uh..." He considered Henrietta for a moment. "Or ballet dancing. After a while, ya can use yer Aura and ya don't even need to think about it. When that happens it's called Natural Infusion.

"Aura abilities are a lil different. Ah see you've already figured yers out so ah won't go into too much detail. Just remember that each'n'every ability is unique, no matter how similar they look. Usually people only learn their ability after mastering the basics, but it seems to me like you've gone and done it all backwards. In most cases, people with abilities have already achieved their Natural Infusion."

Clay paused, rubbing his chin. "What else... oh. All pokémon skills run off of their own Aura supplies. Ya mighta noticed in that there gym battle, but ah was powering up ma Seismitoad's attacks with ma own Aura. The more time ya spend around a pokémon, the more yer Auras mingle. We call that bonding, or friendship if ya prefer. Pokémon that trainers have bonded with can be boosted by an Aura link, making them stronger than they would be on their own. No matter how powerful ya think ya are, yer always gonna be stronger with a good pokémon at yer side. Ya can also use that there Aura link as a way to relay attack commands. Ah see you already worked that much out, or did you think it were strange that yer Blastoise did what you wanted it to do without ya saying anything?"

"There is no need for that," Rood said. He gave a soft smile as he held up a hand in protest to Wayne's words.

Azucena was tense and on her feet but she didn't move. She wanted to run, but she wasn't sure if she could escape from an opponent that wanted them both dead. Furthermore, whether or not Wayne could win. She wasn't privy to the world of Aura, but the word 'sage' seemed to carry some weight.

"I am not a fighter." Rood lifted up his drink with his other hand. "I'm not so sure there is a reason to fight your group anymore either."

***

"A lot of things have been strange in the last two weeks. I attributed it to Aura, though. It's like a convenient explanation for a lot of this stuff already." Henrietta took Bastion's ball from her belt and held it up. "His growth, for example, was probably too much for him. I'm not sure Pokemon should evolve that quickly, not without being able to get fully used to it. I wanted to see how well we'd work together with the type of training I had in mind. I think we should go over the basics."

It was obvious, she thought, but she said it anyways, "even if it's a convenient answer, Aura isn't something to use as a crutch, right?"
