Chapter 337: I'm Just His Stepping Stone? I Can't Accept It!
"Speak! Why can Lucario pinpoint Zoroark's location so accurately? What method did it use to break the illusion? Tell me quickly!"
Not only did Lv Shuai pursue the question like a madman, but the audience was also incredibly curious!
On the field now, having realized his illusion would not work, Zoroark had abandoned any hope of luck and was engaging Lucario in a genuine battle.
"You all know Aura Sphere has a tracking function, but do you know its principle?"
Bai Jing spoke while keeping an eye on the fight.
"Aura is a mental power, described as the spirit of every living being."
"That is to say, every living being possesses the power of aura within them; the difference lies only in the quantity!"
"When Aura Sphere attacks, it locks onto the opponent's aura, thereby gaining its tracking function."
"This is the principle of Aura Sphere!"
Everyone understood; it was like that. They had never really delved into this question, and most importantly, there was nowhere to learn it, not even a textbook.
"And then? What does this have to do with Lucario being able to see through Zoroark's illusion?"
Bai Jing glanced at Lv Shuai and said, "Telling you is no harm; it is time for the power of aura to appear in the world!"
25 "Some people or Pokémon are born with vast amounts of aura, able to sense and freely manipulate this power known as aura. This is the legendary Aura Power."
At this moment, even the two Venerables perked up their ears, listening to this mysterious power.
No one cared about the battle anymore; everyone cared more about the Aura Power Bai Jing spoke of.
"The most representative among them is the Lucario clan, because they are called Aura Pokémon, outstanding in the aspect of aura."
"Aura Power possesses many functions; one of them is detection, scanning everything around. No rustle of wind or movement of grass can hide from aura."
"It is equivalent to Spiritual Sense in cultivation; saying it this way, you should understand better!"
Everyone understood: Lucario used its detection ability to see through Zoroark's illusion and find the location of its true body.
Poor Zoroark was truly suppressed to death!
One could say Aura Power was Zoroark's perfect counter!
"Of course, truly mastering Aura Power is not that simple; otherwise, this ability would not have become a legend! Even among the Lucario clan, most cannot do it; they only know how to use simple Aura Spheres and cannot use other functions at all."
"As for my Lucario, sorry, it is exceptionally talented in aura; using Aura Power for it is as simple as eating and drinking."
Everyone looked at Lv Shuai with pity. Poor guy, his luck was not just good; he encountered the only counter.
Lv Shuai opened his mouth, and ten thousand grass-cows galloped through his heart!
Heaven, are you playing with me, right?
My existence is just to be his stepping stone, right?
Long Zhan nodded appreciatively. "This child's knowledge is indeed unmatched; the aura he describes matches the limited records exactly!"
"Yes, who knows how deep his understanding of aura goes? Does he know the most crucial cultivation method..."
Having said this, Sister Zhuge Ying froze and turned to his granddaughter.
"Chaoyue, you said that child Bai Jing possesses a powerful supernatural ability that even you cannot match; could it be Aura Power?"
"Ah~ this... I dare not be certain, because he refuses to tell me, and he rarely uses it. The only time was when he sealed my psychic power!"
"Seal? Among the many abilities possessed by those with this power, only Psychic Power can do that!"
Sister Zhuge Chaoyue stated firmly, "It cannot be Psychic Power; I would not have failed to notice it."
"True. If his ability were Psychic Power, he would definitely cultivate Psychic-type Pokémon. The fact is, he doesn't even have one now!"
Long Zhan said, "Then it can only be Aura Power. Didn't he say aura has many functions? Perhaps it includes the ability to seal?"
"Makes sense; it's almost certainly that!"
Long Shaoyun muttered to himself internally. So it was Aura Power; no wonder he was so mysterious!
"Ahem~ Ah Ying, how about you let this child go to me? Whatever you want, we can discuss it!"
Sister Zhuge Ying's eyes widened. "Dare you snatch him? Do you believe I will chop you up?"
"Uh... just kidding, just kidding. Don't get angry, don't get angry!"
Long Zhan felt extremely regretful. A powerful new supernatural ability, but unfortunately, he was a step too late!
At this, Bai Jing continued speaking: "Oh~ right, if anyone is lucky enough to awaken Aura Power, I advise you here: never transmit your aura to another person or Pokémon. Although this can save the other's life, it will also cost you your life!"
"What? Aura Power can even save lives!"
Seeing Sister Zhuge Ying suddenly get excited, everyone present showed understanding because they were all informed parties.
"Grandma, don't get excited first. Aura Power might not be able to save it, and didn't he say it would cost the caster their life? The price is too high; no one would be willing to do this!"
"Yes, trading one's life for another's; unless it is a closest relative, who would be willing to selflessly give?"
Sister Zhuge Ying deflated again. Was hope shattered once more?
"No, even if there is a sliver of hope, I cannot give up. After the match ends, I will find him and talk properly!"
"Chaoyue!"
"I know, Grandma. I will bring him before you later!"
"No need to be so urgent. You still have to prepare for battle this afternoon; let's just wait until after tomorrow's final!"
"Okay! But I'll say this first: even if Aura Power can save it, I will not allow you to force him!"
"I know. What do you take your Grandma for? Would I persecute your little lover like that?"
"Annoying, what little lover? It's not like that at all!"
Long Shaoyun pouted. What a show-off!
The dead poker face has turned into a dead flirt!
Ugh~~
"Dead stick, what's with that expression? Want to fight?"
"Come then, who's afraid of whom?"
Long Zhan gave a bitter smile. "Stop arguing, all of you. I'll let you fight to your heart's content this afternoon. For now, settle down!"
