Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Meeting Between Two Aura Users

A/N:5/8 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

Julian sighed softly.

As expected of Cynthia’s ace.

Even though Gallade and Hakamo-o had pushed themselves beyond their limits, together they still were not Garchomp’s match.

Cynthia was also emotional.

Julian had obtained Gallade such a short time ago, yet he had already sharpened that sword.

Today, he could wound one of Garchomp’s arms.

A year from now, perhaps he would be able to fight Garchomp evenly.

Cynthia decided to take part of the time she had set aside for tasting ice cream across Sinnoh and use it to strengthen Garchomp’s training!

Togekiss and the others also needed to strengthen their training.

Cynthia was very aware that compared to Garchomp, she had not invested enough effort into the rest of her Pokémon.

That was indeed one of the reasons she had not become Champion yet.

However, after battling Gallade and Hakamo-o today, Garchomp’s strength would likely see a considerable increase.

She wondered whether that could help Cynthia secure victory in her challenge against the rest of the Elite Four.

Besides strengthening her other five Pokémon...

There was also the option of making Garchomp even stronger. As long as Garchomp could sweep the opponent, then there would be no need to worry about failing to become Champion.

Cynthia rubbed her chin.

She felt that Julian’s rate of progress seemed to be getting faster and faster.

She remembered that Julian had previously shown off about finally awakening his true talent after much difficulty.

Compared to talent, Cynthia believed this was more like the sudden eruption of eight years of accumulated effort.

Past hardship would not be wasted.

It would become Julian’s foundation.

The two went to the History Research Institute and said goodbye to Professor Carolina.

After this battle, both of them had gained quite a lot.

They had developed some new ideas for Pokémon training.

Their emotions were running high, and they could not wait to go and test those ideas.

Professor Carolina shook her head.

"Fine, fine. Go on."

These two really were very compatible.

They both loved Pokémon deeply.

And one liked eating ice cream, while the other liked making food.

They were practically made for each other.

After Julian drove away, Professor Carolina immediately called Professor Rowan.

"Didn’t we agree to let the two children go on an adventure together? Why is there still no movement?"

"At this rate, when am I supposed to hold a great-grandchild?"

Professor Rowan sighed.

"I’ve already been working hard to collect information on Annihilape, but it’s almost as if it has vanished from the world."

"I can’t find much information at all. How am I supposed to have them search for it?"

Professor Carolina clapped her hands.

"That’s exactly what we need. If they can’t find it, they’ll have to spend more time together."

"A man and woman travelling alone together. I refuse to believe nothing will happen!"

Professor Rowan sucked in a breath.

Professor Carolina’s idea was actually rather good.

"Then I’ll organise the information and provide them with a rough map. Once they adjust their schedules, they can set off."

Just as Julian returned to Veilstone Gym, he received a call from Professor Rowan.

"Julian, regarding Annihilape, I only found some vague information. You may need to go to the Paldea region and try your luck."

"When do you think you’ll have time? I’ll arrange your departure."

Julian nodded.

"Half a month from now. I need to bring Croagunk to the Croagunk Festival in Pastoria City."

"I want to see whether becoming the Croagunk King will help Croagunk evolve."

Professor Rowan praised him.

"Using the Croagunk Festival. That is indeed a good idea."

"I’ll contact Cynthia and see when she has time."

After hanging up, Julian suddenly thought of Riley, the Aura Guardian.

Julian sighed, then got up and went to the Pokémon Centre.

"Nurse Joy, do you know where Mr Riley is now? Has he contacted you again?"

Nurse Joy was also a little awkward. Riley really did not know how to prioritise.

Julian waved his hand.

"I don’t think Mr Riley helping villagers is a waste of time. It’s just that I’ll be travelling far away soon."

"If we miss this opportunity, I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again."

With Riley’s habit of travelling everywhere and helping the weak, it was like he had fallen into a marsh. The two of them might find it difficult to meet again.

Nurse Joy smiled and said, "I’ll notify my sisters along the route. If Riley appears at a Pokémon Centre, I’ll ask him to hurry over."

Julian nodded.

"After I return from this trip, I should be stationed at Veilstone Gym for a long time. If Mr Riley really doesn’t have time..."

"Then please ask him to pay attention to the Pokémon Centre’s messages. After I return, he can come to Veilstone Gym. Compared to exchanging methods of using Aura, I think helping others is more important."

Nurse Joy nodded.

"Alright."

Through his relationship with the Joy family, Riley, who had come out from the deep mountains and found a Pokémon Centre to stay at, soon learned of the message Julian had passed to him through Nurse Joy.

Riley was startled and decided to temporarily set aside his habit of helping others.

Going to Veilstone Gym first and speaking with another Aura user was something Riley also did not want to miss.

If he could take another step forward, then Lucario could become even stronger.

Even for Lucario’s sake, he could not delay on the road any longer.

...

One week later, after Julian finished receiving the challengers who had come to the Gym, he finally sensed the Aura of a travel-worn Riley and his Lucario.

"Kai, prepare tea and snacks. We have guests coming."

Kai was a little surprised. He had not heard his master take a call.

Where were these guests coming from?

"Yes, Master."

While preparing things, Kai asked curiously, "Master, apart from martial arts, are you also good at predicting the future?"

Julian smiled.

"I only saw the Aura of those two friends."

Lucario was also somewhat surprised. The Aura of ordinary people did not differ much, so it was difficult to identify someone from among a crowd.

Unless the other person was also someone with the power of Aura.

But even when Lucario used Aura with all his strength, he could not find the friends Julian mentioned.

Only ten minutes later did a human with Aura and a Lucario finally appear within Lucario’s sensing range.

Lucario’s eyes widened.

The gap between his Aura perception and Julian’s was actually this large.

After sensing Julian and Lucario’s Aura, Riley and his Lucario easily found the location of Veilstone Gym.

Julian took the initiative to walk out and welcome Riley and Lucario.

"Welcome."

Riley sensed Julian’s Aura. In terms of quantity, Julian’s Aura was slightly less than his.

However, Julian’s Aura was much purer.

When two Aura users met, there was basically no need for many words.

Through Aura, they could understand what kind of person the other was.

"Come in. I prepared tea and snacks."

Sitting on the sofa, Riley let out a long breath.

"I finally made it. I thought the two of us might be fated to miss each other."

"Julian, did you learn how to develop Aura by yourself?"

Julian shook his head.

"I received guidance from an ancient Aura user. That was how I developed Aura."

Riley’s eyes lit up.

"Then does that mean you’ve inherited ancient Aura techniques that have already been lost?"

Julian was startled.

"The Aura inheritance has also been broken?"
