Saffron City

Chapter 10- Saffron City

In the sky, there is a blue eel like Pokémon flying through the cloud in a high speed. In its back you can see a person sitting there.

Looking at the Pokémon which was 5 meters in length, people who saw it couldn't help but be captivated by its beauty.

Of course that Pokémon was Dragonair and the person sitting in its back was Lycan who was on his way for the final Gym in Saffron city.

Looking at the scenes from atop the Pokémon, he couldn't help but wonder the power this species contain. Even being able to fly, breath fire, many which are the wishes of people in his old world.

Looking at the beautiful scenes, he sat cross legged waiting for them to arrive in their destination.

Looking at the rapidly city in the distance they were rapidly approaching, he tapped in the back of Dragonair motioning it to slow down.

When they stopped before reaching the city gate, he patted his Dragonair head saying "Good job, buddy. Have a nice rest." Returning Dragonair in his poke ball he looked around the city.

It was the biggest city he had seen in his travel. Filled with Vehicles and building as far as the eyes can see from the ground.

It was beautiful, filled with civilizations and art works. After living in the jungles and wild for the extended period of time, people start to wonder and love even a small feeling of belongings, toward it kind.

Though he didn't have that feeling as much as other, he was still human. Though he was with his Pokémon to keep company, he still had a feeling in heart that made him soothing feeling.

Looking around he went to a hotel, in the city. Pokémon Center have good faculty, but due to many trainer and their unhealthy habits, hotels are more cleaner, comfortable and with much less noises compared to Hotel. Yes, it is twice as much more the costly than of a stay in Pokémon Center but so what, it is worth it. He has enough money he won by fighting other trainers.

After two days of travelling around the town, and resting he decided to visit the gym.

In morning around 8:00 am he went to the Saffron City Gym, it was his final Gym along with the gym which focuses on Psychic Pokémon. He also wanted to train in Psychic energy and the Gym leader and his apprentice are said to have telekinesis powers which is a move used by Psychic energy.

After arriving in the gym, he asked the attendant who was sitting in the register "Hello! May I ask you where I can find the Gym leader?"

The attendant a woman around in her mid twenties looked at me and said "Sir, do you have an appointment with him?"

I said with a smile "No I wish to challenge him/her to my 8th Gym battle."

The attendant eye widened hearing my word; after all 8th Badge is the most important moment to both the Challenger and Gym leader, because both trainers will use their whole power to face each other.

She quickly said "I shall inform her, of your arrival." She then closed her eyes and after a few moments, said "Follow me."

Seeing her close her eyes I knew she was using telepathy as I can see her Psychic energy leaving her body and going on the other side of the wall in the right side.

As I followed her she led, me to a office with a small desk and a Praying mat where a person was sitting, in a Lotus position mediating.

When we arrived in front of her, I could see her feature. She looked to be around 40+ age, and had a few wrinkles around her face, had Bluish Purple hair and a slight brown skin color. She is also wearing a white robe, and had her eyes closed deep in meditation.

When we were near her, she opened her eyes and once her eye landed on me the once carefree and lofty eye was filled with distaste and irritations.

She looked at me with sharp eyes and said "You are here to challenge my Gym for you final Gym battle, is that correct?"

I looked at her with equally sharp eyes and said "Yes, Is there a problem."

She replied " No, just there hasn't been many Aura Guardians I seen in my year, you are probably the 3rd one I seen. Just I am not usually expecting a Aura Guardian to come challenge our gym. Can I think this as a challenge?"

I looked at her with a smile and said "Not really, I am just an Aura Guardian in Training. After all my Riolu still have yet to evolve. I came here for a purpose I will ask you a favour, after our Pokémon battle that is."

She raised an eyebrow at my answer, and then said "Oh, how rude of me. I have yet to ask your name, allow me to introduce myself. I am called Night Gabrina the Gym leader of Saffron Gym."

I smile and "My name is Lycan Karki, I am a Pokémon trainer and an Aura Guardian-in-Training."

Night looked at me in an odd manner a said "I haven't heard of any Karki Clan among the aura Guardians?"

I replied "I have a natural gift of using aura, and No my family is normal. Expect myself no other members in my family knows how to use Aura."

Night looked at me in wonder "You mean to say you trained your aura yourself, with your Pokemon help, and before that process you had no previous dealings with Aura."

"Yes, after all from the books I have read about it, it said that an "Aura Guardian travels all over the world with his trusted Pokémon and with their bond they become stronger and together. And when they finally complete their Journey and their partner who are mostly Riolu Evolves into Lucario. They then become a True Aura Guardian. Don't tell me I am wrong?"

She looked at me and said "Maybe that is the right path, from what I know a Aura Guardian trains basics of Aura from their master who are also an Aura Guardian and when they are trained in foundation, they are send to travel around the world for experience. I always believed this was right method but I am staring to doubt this method now."

She looked at me with narrow eyes and said "You are strong, almost as strong as an average Aura Guardian I saw before in my past. That's why I was mistaken you for an Aura Guardian not an Aura Guardian in Training when I met you previously. "

She tried looking at me and said "Come on then, you are here for a Gym Battle right. I shall lead you to the Field where we will have or pokemon battle."

Looking at Night who was walking in front of me, I remember why She had a Distasteful expression on her face after knowing I was a Aura Guardian. I have known form both the Anime and Books that both Psychic and Aura are two different energies which can be used by human and naturally with their competitive nature, there will be fight.

In the past due to some disagreement, the two groups had a fight which ended with many casualties. Aura Guardian stated to use their Aura as a Guardian for the Pokémon and became peoples who look after the wild, while Psychic started to use their power for humankind development.

Since then they had their difference and didn't like the other party but were able to continue their relationship with a disliked but agreeable group relationship.
