Ash's Aura Part 2

Part 2: The Aura Revealed

            We join our heroes in the morning of an important day.  Today Ash is to train with Lucario in controlling his aura to defeat the evil that surrounds the land of Euphoria.  But can Ash learn how to control to his aura in time to save the land of Euphoria?
            Ash yawned and opened his eyes to see the sun only raised slightly above the horizon, through a small clearing in the forest.  He got up and stepped out from his sleeping bag and looked around for Cornelius and Lucario.  They were nowhere to be found.
            “Hey Cornelius, Lucario, where are you?” Ash said forgetting about his friends sleeping.  He continued to look around, but did not see the two anywhere.  “Where could they be?” Ash said to himself.  Just then he heard noises coming from somewhere near in the forest.  All he heard was grunting and the sounds of something hitting the trees.  Ash rushed to where he heard the noise.  The others remained asleep as he went off.
            Ash ran and the sounds slowly became louder, so he knew he was getting closer.  He looked past the trees and he could see two silhouettes in the distance and it looked like they were fighting each other!  Ash ran faster and finally he made out the two figures.  It, of course, was Cornelius and Lucario and they were fighting against each other, but they were fighting to train.  Ash stood behind one of the trees and observed the two fighting.
            Lucario formed many aura spheres and threw them at Cornelius at incredible speeds.  It seemed that it was impossible to dodge the aura spheres, but Cornelius moved at lightning speeds and managed to dodge the aura spheres.  Ash was completely amazed.  They moved so fast and with such grace it was difficult for Ash to keep his eyes on the two of them.  Then in the blink of an eye, an aura sphere came flying towards Ash, above his head.  He had barely anytime to react to it, but he quickly fell to the ground as the aura sphere hit a large branch of the tree Ash was hiding behind.  The large branch broke off from the strength of the aura sphere and slowly fell to the ground and was about to fall on Ash!  Ash had absolutely no time to react to the falling branch, but in another blink of an eye, Cornelius came leaping and grabbed Ash by his waist, out of the way of the falling branch.  The two both landed on the ground off their feet and the branch then landed and hit the ground with a powerful force.
            “Whoa,” Ash said after the incredibly fast moment.  “Thanks Cornelius.”
            “He he sure it was nothing,” Cornelius replied with a smirk on his face.  “You should have told us you were up already, we could have started your training already.”
            “Yeah, I’m sorry,” said Ash.  “It’s just that your fighting was incredible.”
            “Oh that was nothing, we were just practicing,” Cornelius said.
            “Do I have to fight like that?” asked Ash.
            “Well, first we’ll need to control your aura, then we can practice fighting styles,” said Lucario.
            “Alright!” replied Ash.  Lucario then closed his eyes and looked at Ash’s aura.
            “Ah I see,” said Lucario.
            “What is it, Lucario?” asked Ash.
            “Most of your aura is locked deep inside your body,” said Lucario.  “Quite deep actually.”
            “Huh?” Ash questioned.
            “It’ll be quite difficult for you to tap into your entire aura if it’s locked away so deep,” said Lucario.
            “Ah man,” Ash sighed.
            “But I’m sure I can help pull it out,” said Lucario.
            “Really?” questioned Ash.
            “Yes,” Lucario nodded.  “If I use my aura, I can connect mine with yours and I should be able to pull out from deep within your body.”
            “Alright then, do it,” Ash said bracing himself for what was coming.  He clenched his hands into fists and spread his feet apart.
            “Okay,” Lucario replied.  He raised both his paws up, tilted his head down, and closed his eyes.  A sphere of aura formed around his two paws and slowly grew and eventually covered Ash.  Ash could feel something happening deep within his body his aura was being pulled out by Lucario.  He closed his eyes as he felt all of the energy being slowly released out from his body.  The aura seemed small, but within a few seconds it was a large amount.  All of Ash’s aura surrounded his body along with Lucario’s aura, but it was then when something strange happened.  Ash’s aura began consuming him, and his body began changing.  Cornelius looked in shock as he saw the changes occur before him.
            “Lucario, stop!” Cornelius said, but Lucario couldn’t stop.  Too much of Ash’s aura had been released and Lucario had to put it back into Ash; however, the remaining aura still covered Ash’s body.  His hands became paws and they grew blue fur.  His shoes disappeared and his feet also changed into paws, which grew black fur.  Ash’s eyes remained closed during the changes and he seemed completely oblivious to what was happening to him.  More changes occurred, as his ears grew short, became rounded, and began to grow blue fur.  Ash’s nose and mouth extended out into a small rounded muzzle and his mouth fell open to reveal his teeth changing into fangs.  Black fur grew over Ash’s face like a mask that went from his eyes was to the tip of his nose. And blue fur grew in the spots that were left uncovered by the black fur.  Ash’s body began to decrease in size and his clothes faded away to reveal his newly transformed Pokemon body underneath.  Ash was now no longer a human, but a Pokemon.
            Lucario, using all of his strength, managed to push Ash’s aura back into his body.  All of the aura disappeared, Ash’s and Lucario’s, and Ash fell to the ground from his unconsciousness.  Lucario fell to his knees from his fatigue.
            “Ash!” said Cornelius as he ran to Ash.  Cornelius bent down and put his hand on Ash’s forehead.  Cornelius made a quick sigh.
            “He’s alright,” Lucario exhaustingly said, panting after he spoke.  “He just needs time to rest.”
            “But what’ll we do with him?” Cornelius said.  “He’s not a human anymore.”
            “Yes, this is a problem,” Lucario said.  “But that doesn’t mean we still can’t train him, we still need his help.”
            Cornelius looked to the ground with a sigh and back at Ash.  The reality that Ash had transformed from human to a Pokemon shook him, for he knew this would be a conflict.  Ash continued to rest unaware of his transformation into a Riolu and of what he would have to face soon enough.
