Pokemon: Radical Redux

*Time skip 2 months*

(Ash POV)

'Alright, it has been 2 months since I came here and over this time I have learned a few things about this new world.'

'Firstly, I noticed people in this world are built differently. Last week Delia Ketchum, or I guess I should say mom, lifted the fridge because she dropped my spoon and it didn't seem like she put any effort at all.'

'I also seem to be developing faster, which if my new mother is anything to go by, it makes sense, I can already crawl and I'm only 2 months old, and my mother doesn't seem fazed at all, at this rate I should be able to walk and talk at 4 months, jeez,'

'Also she runs a restaurant, I think I remember reading about that in the light novel, but that means two things, one some of the aspects of the novels are a part of this so who knows how much more is included besides the well-known stuff. And two, There was no shortage of the people in the pallet town who came in and called me the cutest boy in Pallet.'

'Also Pallet is huge, I don't know why the games portrayed it as a backwater town with barely anything, but the professor.'

'Also something very interesting, in this world, humans do eat Pokemon, which I mean makes sense, slowpoke tail is a delicacy, and everyone drinks momo milk and gogoat milk.'

'Which means that at the very least Kalos is also common knowledge.'

'Also I met Garry Oak, of course, our conversation boiled down to"

'Ok now for the pecking order of things I need to learn about before anything

'Firstly I need to learn as much as I can about this world, I need to see if the history, pokemon, and regions are the same. I need to find out if the Fairy type is a thing or not discovered. I need to see if Pokemon are the same or if some have different typings. And to learn as much from Oak as humanly possible.

'Next is probably the hardest thing for me to see, the state of the evil teams, are they still around, have they even started, how far are they in their plans, or have they already faded away into history, something tells me if I don't find out in history the former is going to be a problem.'

'Next is to learn about Aura. According to the anime, Ash has Aura and pretty big potential for it. And if I want to live I'm going to need to at minimum learn how to create barriers with them'

'Next up is to learn about Pokemon, specifically abilities, natures, Individual Values (IVs), and Effort Values (EVs). How to train them, how to get them to learn moves, are levels even a thing.'

'Next up is Ash's…special Pokemon, specifically why Charizard disobeyed, and why some of Ash's Pokemon couldn't evolve like the one time Bulbasaur went to the evolution ceremony for Bulbasaurs and wasn't able to evolve.'

'And lastly for now I need to learn as much as I can about the Gym leaders, Trainers, elite four, and even the league. If those few years of playing Pokemon competitively, and playing the harder versions of them like radical red, renegade platinum, and Emerald Kaizo. If I come in unprepared, I am going to get absolutely curb stomped.'

'For now, all I can do is try to remember everything I can about the Aura Guardians and Aura.'

'In the anime, we know aura can be used to:

Read the emotions and actions of another being.

Ability to "sense" other Auras and allows users to view through some objects.

Projection of one's Aura; such as to create barriers or attacks

Transfer Aura to others, but that is fatal

Activation of time flowers

Telepathy

To see and speak to the spirits of the dead

To allow the spirits of the dead the ability to touch the physical world.

Supercharging moves with additional Aura

Heal people and Pokemon

Help with training

And help with bonding

If they have a Key stone they can sense a mega stone from miles away for that Pokemon

They can use their Pokemon to see

And for Greninja, was able to artificially create a new form comparable to mega evolution due to Bond'

'As far as we see in the anime that is everything that non-aura guardians do'

'Now a few things to note on this is, firstly the ability to find mega stones will be useful if I want to try and mega evolve, which I am. Also the ability of 'Bond' will have to be explored later. A lot of this will be important later but the priority is to learn how to use barriers. If the Mewtwo and Mew fight happens then I don't want to be erased, or turned to stone.'

'Also healing will be important but that comes second on the order of importance. Wait healing, does that mean Yellow had some latent potential in aura, does that mean Lance does too? I mean Yellow could heal Pokemon in general, can't remember if she could also heal people, and she could also understand Pokemon. But Lance could only do it to dragon types, he could also control them. Questions for later.'

'Now from what little we know about the Aura Guardians, they were a group of people that would go around and do good deeds and train those with potential. Sir Aaron was a hero that sacrificed himself, and might be the predecessor of Ash if that one Lucario's words were anything to go by.'

'Now from what we know from other sources the Aura guardians were able to do a few different things;

Read the minds and emotions of people and Pokemon

Able to have frequency resistance, allowing them to be protected from outside sources

Empowerment for themselves and Pokemon

Able to transfer thoughts and memories

Upgrade Keystones

Mind control and mind reading resistance

And everything else from before.'

'Now that may seem a bit underwhelming but we don't have much to go on from them, the fact they could do all that is impressive.'

'But now the problem comes that the Aura guardians are either in hiding or extinct, and I don't have a Lucario, or even a Riolu to help me train. And I doubt they wrote down their training techniques, and even if they did I doubt that Oak would have it. And even if he did, I REALLY doubt he would give me something that valuable. I can't Just go up to him and say I'm an Aura user so give me the book.'

'So unless I can find something or find Riley, I will need to teach myself, the problem is I don't know how to do that. And in the anime, Riley is also in training. I need to find some way of reaching the advanced level of Aura'

'At a basic level, Aura Guardians can know the intentions and emotions of others at a single glance simply by viewing and reading their Aura. But with the right amount of training, an Aura Guardian can use their aura at an advanced level, like using their aura to project their aura in the form of powerful attacks, barriers, and healing abilities.'

'I can't even try to find another Pokemon with some form of supernatural force like Psychic powers. The manipulation of aura is different from the manipulation of other supernatural forces since aura uses raw spiritual energy instead of being a conduit of honed mental focus.'

'So I am actually working with straws, so with what I know the best way to try and learn is to meditate and try to sense my own emotions, then to try and take that and work backward.'

'But I will need to be careful if I end up biting off more than I can chew then I risk, exhausting myself, corrupting myself, and potentially getting striped of my Aura in general'

'So for now all I can do is meditate and try to 'see' without my eyes, probably going to use a blindfold for a while.'

*As our protagonist did that, a little pink Pokemon that likes to take residency in pallet town, looked at him, and became interested, as the little mouse-like Pokemon flew away.*
