Raising its hand was not an apology.

It was Regirock’s Hyper Beam.

How dare they harm its beloved friends and family!

"Ruff!"

A bark came first, followed by an Aura Sphere shooting forward.

The Aura Sphere fired by Lucario was clearly more than a size larger than normal.

It exploded against Regirock, pushing even the rock giant, whose centre of gravity was as steady as a mountain, back two steps.

An obvious crack tore open across its hard stone chest.

Regirock’s Hyper Beam was scattered.

But the dots on Regirock’s face flashed with light, making a ticking sound.

The rocks on the cliff wall suddenly flew to Regirock by themselves, merging into its body and quickly repairing the crack.

Lucario was startled and fired another Aura Sphere.

Without the anger from earlier, the normal-sized Aura Sphere Lucario fired this time struck Regirock and did nothing besides blast out a cloud of black smoke.

It caused no damage at all.

Regirock raised its hand, and the rocks on the cliff wall were directly pulled down.

And Julian finally fired the giant Aura Sphere he had been condensing for a long time.

The Aura Sphere, larger than a yoga ball, emitted a sharp azure radiance.

It pushed aside the falling stones brought down by Regirock’s Rock Slide and struck Regirock with imposing force.

The heavy rock giant was directly sent flying by his attack.

After landing, Regirock absorbed several rocks and stood up again.

"Ruff!"

Lucario fired an Aura Sphere and asked curiously, "Why is your Aura Sphere so much bigger than mine?"

"Ruff!"

Another Aura Sphere shot out, but it could not stop Regirock’s advance at all.

Julian condensed a second Aura Sphere.

"You hold it back. I’ll give it another heavy one."

Aaron, who had not spoken the whole time, suddenly aimed his hand at Regirock.

"Aura is within my heart!"

Azure Aura light instantly enveloped Regirock.

Regirock, which had raised its arm and was about to release Hyper Beam, slowly moved its body.

Aaron shouted, "Regirock, we mean no harm. We only want to meet Mew. We will not damage the Tree of Beginning. Please believe us!"

Unexpectedly, Regirock really lowered its arm.

Its body rotated and sank back into the earth.

Was Aaron’s Aura this strong?

He could actually forcibly communicate with Regirock.

He made Regirock feel his heart, stop attacking them, and allow them to enter the Tree of Beginning.

Who exactly is the protagonist here!?

Clearly, I’m the one with the golden finger

Fine. This was the movie.

And it was the part from a thousand years ago.

Aaron here was indeed the undisputed protagonist.

Moreover, Aaron’s Aura was already more than ten times theirs to begin with. After increasing by thirty percent, it was now nearly twenty times Lucario’s.

After three days of bitter training, Julian’s Aura was still less than half of Lucario’s.

Aaron and the two Lucario entered the base of the Tree of Beginning.

Pidgeot directly flew up the mountain, using his sharp eyes to help search for Mew.

But to find Mew, who could freely transform into any Pokémon, they would probably have to rely on identifying Mew’s unique Aura.

After entering the mountain, Aaron began using his Aura to scan the surrounding environment.

The Tree of Beginning was like a maze. Without relying on Aura, forget finding Mew — even finding the correct path to the summit was impossible.

Julian likewise released his Aura.

But inside the Tree of Beginning, there were many blue crystals with strong reactions.

They severely affected the range of his scan.

Aaron raised his staff.

"Follow me. This way."

Aaron led them through the cave, turning left and right, and they very quickly climbed to the first exposed layer of the Tree of Beginning.

Suddenly, an Ice Beam shot down.

Aaron raised his staff, and a layer of blue barrier blocked Ice Beam.

"Lucario, Aura Sphere."

Julian also fired a string of Vacuum Waves with both hands.

They struck Regice’s ice-blue and white crystalline body, but did not leave even the slightest trace on the smooth ice crystal surface.

It was truly embarrassing.

"Ruff!"

Lucario acted in time, stopping Regice with one Aura Sphere.

Julian quickly condensed a giant Aura Sphere, which exploded against Regice. Regice’s two icicle feet left two clear scratch marks across the ground.

After several rounds of fighting Regice, Aaron suddenly used his power.

Aaron once again controlled Regice with Aura and conveyed his feelings to it.

Regice similarly flashed signals, then turned and returned to its...

Security booth?

It seemed Aaron was not completely invincible either. He still needed them to help hold back and weaken the three Legendary titans before he could seize the gap and communicate with Aura.

They continued upward.

Just as they reached the entrance to the blue crystal bridge, the owner of a steel body appeared ahead.

Registeel!

A white beam shot out from Registeel’s dots.

Flash Cannon!

"Ruff!"

An Aura Sphere barely held back Flash Cannon.

Aaron raised his staff.

"No. We can’t fight here. These blue crystal bridges are responsible for transporting nutrients to the Tree of Beginning. They cannot be destroyed."

"Let’s retreat and take another path."

He was concerned about damaging the Tree of Beginning, but Registeel’s mind held only the goal of stopping outsiders from entering.

It did not have the idea of protecting the Tree of Beginning.

It aimed at Aaron and the two Lucario opposite it and fired another Flash Cannon.

"Ruff!"

Every time Lucario fired Aura Sphere, he had to bark first to build momentum.

Julian also condensed Aura Sphere and using Aura to lock onto Registeel’s knee.

This time, he did not choose a giant Aura Sphere.

Against Registeel, the hardest of the three, simply increasing the power injected into Aura Sphere would be ineffective.

Julian chose compression!

The Aura Sphere was compressed to the size of a ping-pong ball, releasing a dangerous Aura.

"Go, Aura Sphere!"

Trailing blue light, it struck Registeel’s knee, causing Registeel to fall forward in a sorry state.

Aaron could not help pumping his fist.

"Well done, Nasus!"

"Run!"

After they changed direction, Registeel actually blocked them again.

Metallic light lit up around Registeel’s hands, and its body began accelerating as it spun.

That imposing momentum was even more frightening than a fully loaded heavy truck.

"Ruff!"

Lucario fired three Aura Spheres in a row, but they could not stop the steel spinning top at all.

Aaron gritted his teeth.

"Aura is within my heart!"

As Aaron’s face became increasingly pale, Registeel actually began to slow down, before finally being stopped by him.

Julian’s eyes widened.

Registeel’s Gyro Ball had just been controlled like that!

Sir Aaron, you really are the protagonist!

As expected of the Aura Guardian, the strongest Lucario Trainer!

Julian tried the healing technique Aaron had taught for the first time, injecting faint healing ripples into him.

Aaron lowered his hand, but Registeel actually raised its hand again.

Lucario immediately fired Aura Sphere, striking the rock wall and creating thick dust.

Aaron took the lead and ran.

"This Registeel is too stubborn. It can’t be persuaded. We can only run while searching for Mew."
