Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

For example, Ash's own Aura Sphere can not only hurt people, but also save them; the energy he releases can automatically track and accurately distinguish between friend and foe!

Therefore, Ash's previous training method based on the methods of fighters was perfectly reasonable, because the "ki" that fighters emphasize is the aura hidden within the human body!

A powerful fighter like Ah Si is able to perceive ghosts and even use secret techniques like cutting through invisible blades by using the power of wave guidance.

However, they are not waveguide users, so this power can only be hidden in their bodies and cannot be actively released to achieve abilities such as remote perception and energy attacks.

Another point is that ordinary people need mental power to activate the waveguide in their bodies, which is what fighters call 'mind and skill as one'.

In the case of a waveguide user, it means having a strong will and strong beliefs.

The Pokémon world is, to a large extent, a world of idealism. Skills like "dodge quickly" and "stand up" are manifestations of this idealism... This even has a special name: bond.

Ash was able to enhance his power, such as the Power of Everlasting, through his resolve precisely because of this idealism.

Whether it's the power of waveguides or superpowers, to use them more efficiently, they require a corresponding strong belief to support them.

Therefore, for those waveguide pioneers who left a significant mark on history, the most prosperous moment in their lives was often when they chose to sacrifice themselves.

This is probably the destiny of waveguide messengers...

Getting back to the main point, the training methods in Ya Xuan's Notes are actually not as scientific and efficient as Xiao Zhi's Fighter Training Method.

Its only enhancement for Ash is that it teaches Ash that he can stimulate his own life energy through meditation, and accumulate and temper the waveguide in a way similar to sitting meditation.

Ash is now going to teach this training method to the two Lucarios through the Aura Link, so that they can also learn this technique of honing their Aura!

This kind of training is very simple for Aura users who are human, because most humans only have mental power besides life energy, and there is no third power... at least no elemental power!

But Pokémon is not like that.

"I told you, don't always think about activating your fighting attributes! I told you to train in Aura Guidance, not Aura Missiles!"

“Lucario…” Since Ash went into strict teacher mode, Miss Cabbage’s Lucario has been getting a lot of scolding lately.

As a Lucario, its talent in this area is indeed not as good as Ash's Jackal. At least the latter always knew that it was training with Aura, while Lucario always wanted to use the power of Fighting-type to turn Aura Sphere into a sure-hit Fighting-type energy ball.

However, despite the constant scolding, Ash was very patient with it.

This is a process that all Lucarios inevitably go through. Without the guidance of a waveguide, the vast majority of Lucarios would be unable to pass this test.

Some of them might even go berserk because they can't control their power...like one of Carlos's~

So, just take it slow.

Make waveguides the foundation of yourself, until you can use them at any time and never lose control no matter what external force is applied!

And on that basis, we have repeatedly broken through the limits!

This is Lucario's endless path to becoming stronger, thanks to his partnership with the Aura Maker!

Chapter 286 The Results of Cultivation, and the Very Center of the Archipelago…

In the blink of an eye, Ash and his friends had been on Daipo Island for a week.

During that week, he devoted himself to training with his two Lucarios, and finally helped them progress from beginner to intermediate level.

Even Cynthia's Lucario has stumbled through the process of mastering the method of self-meditation to hone its aura.

Although I'm not very proficient yet, it's still better than training Aura Power as a fighting attribute power like before.

This training also allowed Ash to personally experience the wonderful uses of natural energy for Pokémon and for human users like himself.

Energy can resonate with each other. The more abundant the external energy, the more active the internal energy will be, making any cultivation effort twice as effective.

With such convenience, it's no wonder that the giant Alakazam keeps bringing it up.

Ash did consider bringing giant Alakazam and other Pokémon to the island, but he later gave up on the idea.

The natural energy of Daipo Island is not inexhaustible. It can supply the island's native inhabitants, but it may not be able to withstand the consumption of those ancient Pokémon.

To recreate the glory of the ancient times in the present day is clearly beyond the capacity of a single island.

Moreover, not to mention the ancient Alakazam and others, even Ash himself is gradually slowing down his Aura training.

This point is also explained in detail in Ya Xuan's notes.

As a waveguide user cultivates, the quality of the waveguide within their body will naturally improve. At that point, it will be virtually impossible for them to cultivate rapidly on their own.

Unless one has some extraordinary encounter or finds a more suitable environment for cultivation.

The so-called more suitable environment for cultivation is actually a place where natural energy is more abundant.

This also explains why waveguide messengers are becoming increasingly rare, to the point of almost disappearing... because the current era is a 'doomsday era' where natural energy is constantly weakening.

If it were the ancient times, let alone someone like Ash who has the innate talent for Aura, even a highly skilled fighter like Mr. Si could eventually become an Aura user as long as they had the willpower!

As for Ash himself, Ya Xuan recorded several stages of developing the power of Aura in his notebook.

The initial stage was naturally the aura link with his partner Lucario. Although Ash had not systematically studied this part, he applied what he learned to other situations through his training in psychic abilities.

The second stage is the burst of aura, where the aura user and partner strengthen their belief together to generate even greater power in an instant... Ash has already achieved this, the unity of mind and skill of a fighter, this is the state he pursues.

The third stage that follows is described by Ya Xuan as waveguide burning, where the waveguide user transfers their power to their partner without limit, in order to achieve a state of full power and unity of power!

Even Ya Xuan himself hadn't reached this level; his Aura hadn't been cultivated to this quality... yet Ash and Lucario somehow figured it out without even realizing it.

Ash only realized now that the Aura, which seemed to be the last of the three special powers, had actually reached a level that surpassed that of ordinary Aura users.

This is the advantage brought by the protagonist's halo. Even without a systematic training method, Ash only needs to make choices and realize his abilities to gain power. He has already accumulated the power of Aura to a considerable level without realizing it!

As for the end of Ya Xuan's notes, it mentioned that there was an even further stage to the power of aura, but he didn't know what that was...

Xiao Zhi doesn't want to know at all right now.

Even at the third stage of waveguide combustion, it already requires the waveguide user to risk all their life force... If it were to go any further, it would probably squeeze every last drop of life out of a person, from body to soul.

As Ash's progress in training his Aura slowed down, he gradually shifted his attention to his other companions.

The natural energy here on Dapeng Island is abundant, and everyone who exercises here for a period of time benefits greatly.

The first one to be affected is Venusaur, whose type is most suitable for this environment. After taking root and absorbing nutrients these days, its already strong body has grown even larger, now more than twice the size of its kind!

At first glance, you might even think it's an indigenous person of Opu Island.

In addition to its increased size and enhanced power of some special moves, it also used its own strength to open a crack in the flower bud on its back.

Hidden inside is its own Mega Stone, bringing Venusaur one step closer to fully acquiring that power!

After that, Pikachu made significant progress. After spending a week with the Pidgeots on the island, it has now completely mastered the skill of flying.

No more electromagnetic levitation is needed; a simple jump is enough to activate the power of flight and soar freely into the sky!

In this way, only the development of its final moves remains before it can completely transform into its partner.

If you can hone the Coward effect in the Flying move, you can transform it into a partner version of Flutter Fall, and Pikachu will be reborn and elevated!

As for the last one that showed significant improvement, it was the Crossbat.

After a period of careful adjustment, it is finally about to emerge from its cocoon!

Not wanting to be disturbed... and mainly worried that Crobat would bother others, Ash chose a time in the middle of the night, took Pikachu and Crobat, and quietly went to a lonely rocky cliff in the sea nearby.

It's in the sea not far from Daipon Island. Ash recently discovered that that's the place he's really looking for!

Surrounded by surging waves that constantly crash against the bare rock walls beneath our feet… Strictly speaking, this is the true center of the entire Orange Islands!

Standing here, bathed in the dim moonlight overhead, Ash finally realized... this place was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the prophetic vision!

It was here that the mysterious figure came into contact with the time ripples, which subsequently triggered a catastrophe that caused the collapse of the archipelago!

"Crippart, come out." Ash threw an Ultra Ball and called out Crobat, who had been adjusting its status.

Before uncovering the truth behind the prophecy, Ash must first witness the moment when his companions emerge from their cocoons!

At this moment, the Crossbat was still wearing that tight-fitting equipment, but its whole body was trembling incessantly, as if it might burst at any moment!

The purple mist that had surrounded him was gone, a sign that the Crossbat had perfectly controlled it!

"Almost there... Let me see what you look like now!" Ash said expectantly.

"Heh...heh!!"

boom!

With a joyful cry, the Crobat forcefully burst through its tight restraints, fully unfurling its two pairs of wings!

A wisp of pale purple mist emanated from its body, but it was quickly reabsorbed by the cross-bat, causing no impact on the surrounding area.

What appeared in front of Ash was a Darkbat that was more compact in size, but whose overall appearance was ferocious!

Its wingspan is only about 1.4 meters, which is smaller than that of a typical beaked bat. Its body is not as rounded as that of its kind, but has a distinct streamlined curve.

What is most striking is its head, horns, teeth, and the bone spurs on its wings, all of which appear sharp and long, and even faintly shimmer with an eerie glow!

After emerging from its cocoon, the Crobat excitedly flew around Ash, moving from Ash's left to right at a speed almost like teleportation, without making a sound!

"Well done, Crobat!" Ash was overjoyed.

He knew that the Crossbat had been completely transformed!

Now, it can also break through the limitations of its attributes to a certain extent, just like Aju's ace... It can blow out a fierce poisonous mist just by breathing, and when the poison explodes, it can even melt through steel!

Moreover, its body shape was adjusted to be more perfect than its opponent's!

Although Crobat is not yet at the Elite Four level, given time, it will definitely be able to cross this threshold... or even go further!
