“Alright, let’s give our Pokémon a rest.” Hanzo said.
They had been training for a few hours at that point and both the Midday and Midnight Lycanroc seemed to be exhausted. They went off to the side and sat down, and seemed to be chatting with one another.
“Hey… Mr. Hanzo. I’m sorry about earlier.” Dom muttered.
“It’s alright. You’re young, and and Michael is quite ignorant. I understand why you got so upset, but one of the things about being a trainer, especially one capable of things like Z-moves, you’ve gotta keep a cool head.” Hanzo said, “Your aura influences your Pokémon, and Z-moves make your Aura your Pokémons Aura, making your pokemons Aura flare to life. If you and your Pokémon aren’t balanced, you will never be able to use a Z-move.”
“What… what is Aura?” Dom asked.
Hanzo looked at him a bit blankly.
“Well, you’re Draconid, correct?” He asked.
Dom nodded, pointing to his Draconid headband.
“Aura is basically the energy of all living things. With Draconid people specifically, they’ve spent so many generations so closely linked with dragon types, it makes their aura almost second nature to them. That’s why most people with ties back to the Draconid people are so adept and using dragon types even though they’d be hard for any normal trainer to train. However, some people are naturally born adept to aura. They can sense it, and use their own aura to connect with Pokémon on a deeper level. There are also people who have potential to become adept at Aura.” Hanzo explained.
“Well I know about dragon energy already, but this whole Aura thing is just so confusing to me.” Dom said.
“Hm, that’s… interesting. Earlier your Electabuzz suddenly became exponentially stronger, but couldn’t control that power at its current strength. Do you know why?” Hanzo asked.
“Well… no?” Dom said.
“Hmm… in order to do something like that with no knowledge of Aura at all… extremely peculiar. Here, let’s continue.” Hanzo said.
He pulled out Dom’s Z-Power Ring and also pulled out the Lycanium Z.
“Lycanroc, catch!” Hanzo said.
The Midday Lycanroc jumped up and Caught Doms Lycanium Z.
“Here, I’m giving you 1 month. Both you and Lycanroc have to get the Z-Ring and Z Crystal before a month. You won’t be able to get it unless you’re completely in sync with not only Lycanroc, but yourself. Go ahead, we start now.” Hanzo said.
“Uh… alright? But are you sure it’ll take me a whole month? I’m not exactly weak you know.” Dom said.
“Give it you’re all, you’re gonna need it.” Hanzo said with a smirk.
Dom jumped at Hanzo but Hanzo dodged, and Lycanroc started chasing the other Lycanroc. Hanzo was dodging every one of Doms advances, and they eventually ended up in the stands of the stadium. As Dom chased Hanzo, he dove for him, but Hanzo jumped out of the way and crashed into a few chairs.
“Hey! That hurt you know!” Dom said.
“You’re gonna have to be faster than that!” Hanzo said.
The two Lycanroc were still running around, with Dom’s Lycanroc trying it’s hardest to keep up. It suddenly jumped and it readied a crunch attack and dove straight at Hanzos Lycanroc. At the same time, Dom had crouched down, just at the edge of the stadiums stands. He leaned over the the edge and jumped from the side, once again diving straight for Hanzo. Just as Dom dove towards Hanzo, he saw Hanzos arm flicker with the same Blue energy he saw earlier, and time seemed to slow down. Dom watched as Hanzo slid out of the way.
“Still, not fast enough.”
Those were the last things Dom heard before Hanzo brought his arm down and knocked him out. At the same time, Hanzos Lycanroc took the crunch attack, but hit back with counter, knocking out Doms Lycanroc.
“Uh oh, I put a little too much into that last hit.” Hanzo said.
He shook it off and watched as his own Lycanroc carried the fainted Midnight Lycanroc over.
“They’ve got potential. At that last moment they actually seemed to Sync up a bit. But it was nothing more than dumb luck that they both charged us at the last second.” Hanzo said.
Lycanroc nodded in agreement.
“You must be tired, you can return.” Hanzo said, returning his Lycanroc to its pokeball.
He grabbed another pokeball and sent out an Alakazam.
“Alakazam, teleport him back to his room please.” Hanzo said.
The Alakazam nodded and teleported Dom and Lycanroc back to the dorm room. Hanzo recalled his Alakazam and walked to the students dorm rooms. As he entered, he walked up to the receptionist desk, and grabbed a pen and paper.
“You cannot focus on just your legs and eyes. You’ll never get your Z-Ring back if you can’t do that.” He wrote.
“Get this to Dominic Celonis as soon as possible.” Hanzo said, handing the note to a receptionist.
“Right.” She nodded.
The unconscious Dom landed in his bed, landing right on Electabuzz, who shocked him on impact. It didn’t wake him up though, he rolled off and landed face first on the floor, still knocked out.
