Another Aura Missile has hit the second Tower!

Ace picked up Noivern and shook him, "Wake up!" before giving him a few slaps. Cynthia took back Garchomp as Ash ran over with starry eyes, "What was that, Teacher?! Can you teach me?! Can you!? Pleeeeeeeeeeease!"

Ace didn't even open his mouth before Ash and Dawn were both hanging from his body, "I want to learn too! Oh my god! You were both in sync! Imagine that in a Competition?! Come on! Teach me! I'll clean your house 3 times!" Ace was speechless, only three times?

No! That's not the important part!

He looked at Dawn and smiled wryly, "You can't learn it!" Dawn was shocked, "What?! Why not?!" Ace sighed and smiled at her, "You're not an Aura Guardian." Dawn looked at him, confused.

Cynthia said in surprise, "You are?" Ace shook his head and rubbed his nose, "Me? I'm not strong enough… I only have a little bit. The only reason me and Noivern can Bond Evolve is because Noivern has a little too. Our little bits of Aura match up and synchronize." he rubbed Noivern's head with a smile.

Cynthia nodded and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, Aura Guardians are legends anyway…" Ace chuckled and looked at Ash, "Why are you disappointed?" Ash paused and looked at Ace, who smiled, "You have a huge amount of Aura!"

Ash pointed at himself in shock as Brock asked, "Is it like the Power of Viridian?" Ace shook his head, "Well, not exactly…" Cynthia explained, "Aura is an energy that every living being has. The difference is that some people have more Aura than natural and can use that Aura. They can communicate Telepathically, Sense Pokemon around, feel the hearts of Pokemon, understand their words, and many more!"

Ace added, "By the way, you can also create barriers or use Aura Sphere!" The kids gasped and Cynthia rolled her eyes, "What are you saying? Do you know how much Aura would be needed?" Ace shrugged and looked at her, "How am I supposed to know? I only have more than usual, not enough to get any superpowers. I'm just a normal person."

Ash, Brock, Dawn, and Cynthia looked at him with dead fish eyes.

If you're a normal person, what are we? Sub humans?

Ace really wasn't lying. If he didn't have the System, he would still have more Aura than normal. Though it wasn't enough to shoot Aura Spheres, if it was trained he could communicate Telepathically.

If he wasn't mistaken, Bea even had a little more than him!

Ash looked at Ace and said hesitantly, "To be honest… I haven't been able to feel Aura since we saved the Tree of Life." Cynthia froze, "You what!?" Ace waved, "Act cool, okay? This is a normal operation. I can't even count on my hands how many times he's saved the world. It'll probably happen a few more times in Sinnoh."

Brock wilted, "I hope not… Those are always dangerous situations!" Ash smiled and scratched his head, Ace looked at him and rubbed his chin, "You can't feel it, eh? But I can feel it." Ash was stunned, "You can?!"

Ace grabbed Ash's hand and turned it over, pulling off his palm, as an orb of Aura appeared. Ace clicked his tongue, "No Aura, right?" he teased, "You're showing off in front of Teacher?" Ash was dumbfounded, looking at the Aura Orb.

Pikachu sniffed the orb, "Pika?" Ace handed him a bottle of ketchup as Ash asked, "How? What?" Pikachu lunged at the ketchup bottle, hugging it happily. Ace looked at Ash, "Recovery and Loss are two different things. I don't have much but I have enough to spark your Aura a little."

Ash played with the orb as Dawn poked it.

Ace looked strange and coughed, "Oh by the way… What you're touching, Dawn, is basically Ash's soul…" Dawn froze and blushed all the way to her ears, turning away in a panic.

Cynthia looked at Ace, who looked evil before joking, "Oh, touch his soul, huh?" Ace shushed her before smiling at the shy girl, nodding. Brock nearly collapsed, one after the other!

That's it! I'm calling Lucy tonight!

Paul watched the whole process before asking, "Can we battle now?" Cynthia looked at him and smiled, "Sure. I can't use Garchomp." Paul nodded, "That's fine. I can't beat Garchomp even if I bring every Pokemon I've ever caught." 

Ace held Noivern on his lap as he sat on the bleachers with Ash, Brock, and Dawn. Ash looked at him, "Teacher, how did you Bond Evolve?" Ace smiled and said, "Basically, the Pokemon needs to be able to sense Aura and have a deep bond with the Trainer."

Ash held Pikachu, who looked at him, tilting his head, "Pika?" Ash looked at him, "Can you feel it, Pikachu?" Pikachu looked at him in confusion, "Pika?" Ace's lips twitched.

He looked in the Shop for Aura related items as Paul fought Cynthia's Spiritomb with Blood Moon Ursaluna.

Ace found what he was looking for and his lips twitched.

[Aura- Junior Package- 10 Million BP: A junior version of Aura, will boost Aura levels and allow Telepathic Communication.]

[Aura- Senior Package- 100 Million BP: A Senior Version of Aura, will explosively increase Aura levels to extreme amounts and unlock all Abilities!]

[Aura- Master Package- 1 Billion BP: Will grant Infinite Aura. Grants all Abilities and creates new ones.]

[Aura Infused Metal Beads- 1000 BP: Training Method on finer control of Aura. Works for Pokemon and Humans.]

Ace bought two Junior Packages and the Metal Beads, handing a crystal to Ash and Pikachu each, "Eat this." Ash and Pikachu ate the Crystals before closing their eyes. Ace looked at the blue light surging on them before nodding, not bad.

Looks like the System isn't unreliable. It teaches how to communicate Telepathically.

Ace thought about it and recharged more BP, buying the Senior Package Crystal. He called out Porygon2 and handed it to him, "Bring this to Bea, okay?" Porygon2 chirped and disappeared into his phone with the Crystal.

Speaking of which, Ace looked at the Store again.

His lips twitched…

[Psychic Powers- Junior Package…]

[Pyrokinesis- …]

[Cryokinesis- …]

[Electrokinesis- …]

He rubbed his forehead and forgot about it, there was all kinds of Superpowers here… Even Iris' Dragon Telepathy… Would you believe it if I told you it was called Dracokinesis…

Yeah! That's right. The reason why Greninja and Ash can Bond Evolve is because of Aura. This should be pretty obvious. Pikachu can't use Aura, at least I don't think so anyway, it was never stated but Greninja had multiple scenes of him interacting with Aura.

So I'm pretty sure it's a Aura related evolution. Like... instead of a Lucario, it's a Greninja. After all, not only Lucario can use Aura, people too, so why can't other Pokemon use it? Also, can you guess another person who has a Greninja and just so happens to have a magical power close to Aura...?

Also, you know the drill! 

Hand over the Stones! Or write a joke in the comments! Or both, both is good.
