He continued to look at the gem like blue Stone with the n_a_k_e_d eyes yet it didn't seem different from other rocks except its texture and colour. It was oldy smooth rock similar to what a stone looked like in the river banks.
Since nothing came out from initial examination with hands he then thought of what other methods he could use.
His first thought were to call for mew so she could directly reveal it's secret to him without any further problems , but another part of him told him that he will continue to get dependant on mew if he did this.
He needs to find and explore the function and it's use on his own both for his self confidence bit also for his curious self which wanted to learn more and more about the unknown rock.
The unknown has always been a regarded as synonym of danger yet this danger attracts large number of people towards it who yearned to explore and find it.
Similarly Alex too was attached to it's mystery of the stone and thought of thing he could perform on his own. He first tried to crush it with only his hands (without aura) and it didn't work. Then he slowly tried other heavy things around to at least bring a crack or something. Hit hard enough to impact but not enough to break it down.
Since it didn't work so he thought of using the thing which let him deduce, it is related to Suicune, his aura. He instead of his eye scan sent aura into it through his hands.
Alex saw that the stone digests his aura and is absolutely absorbed by it. It also emitted a sound similar to water splashing in a vessel when the vessel miles around.
So he was amazed by it. He also felt that it's energy concentration slightly increased. Alex has input just enough aura in his hand through which he could take down a medium sized tree.
Now that he know it is stimulus to aura he thought of another angle to test it's stimuli. Since it is a water type related prop so he sent out his Slowking to confirm the hypothesis that it is related to water types.
" Slowking send a weak water gun at the rock."
He looked at his target puzzled but he followed his words. He sent a small stream of water which could only be used as water sprinkler. In contact the stone glowed blue and then suddenly dimmed again.
" Now try a medium power water gun." This time Too a glow appeared and later subsided.
" What happened to your move Slowking?"he asked Slowking.
' It absorbed 20% of the total power behind my water attack both in case of weaker and medium powered attack.' he answered truthfully.
Alex looked at the gemstone and thought,' So it is a defensive object absorbing the attack power regardless of the strength of move is impressive.
Although it only works on water type attacks Yet it must have a limit to what level of water attack it can handle. It probably could handle attacks which Suicune itself could take on without getting injured.
But what is the aura doing in all of this? '
He took the gemstone in his hands and then charged his aura then told Slowking," Slowking attack me with medium water gun. "
He sent an attack at Alex on his command but Growlithe appeared in between and sent a flamethrower to vaporise the water in and he bared his fangs at Slowking fir attacking Alex.
Alex and Slowking were communicating telepathically so Growlithe Alex was really attacked and jumped in to defend him.
Alex has read that the Growlithe and Arcanine are very loyal to the trainers they recognize and would even sacrifice themselves for their beloved trainer even in the most hopeless cases.
Now this incident today reminded him of this fact and reveals some truth about those words.
Alex bent on his knee and softly brushed his head and neck to entertain and calm him and said softly," Buddy, he wasn't attacking me for rebellion but because I asked him to. "
He then showed him the gem and said, " I am experimenting this and wanted to check it's effect on aura inclusion and so I asked him to attack.
Don't worry . It is just water moves which can be absorbed by the stone if the test fails.
Slowking once more and this time noone will interfere in this matter. " He looked at the on looking Espeon and larvitar who saw the current test going on.
He then calculated the amount of aura used and found that his aura based attacks under the blue gem is increased three times and this too is because of his lack of control.
He later had him attack worth different type moves at a much weaker level and found that this gem truly increases his aura strength.
"So this stone not only absorb water moves but also smooth flow if aura in his body.
It is a good defensive artifact and it can so protect me from deadly encounter in the near future. I should keep it with myself the entire time
It can also help me train riolu in aura tricks later but now it must be kept on me the entire and I can't keep it away from me so I should just stay here safe. "
Alex then put the gem on his shirt pocket obscurred drop. He then put the rock on his shirt upper pocket And then have jewel save the test and the data's for it under confidential agreement or there will be no one who could find their true information.
Alex then started to feed his pokemons which were with him and then once again went off to take notes.
He then thought of another important thing. Whether he would be able to reverse it's transaction ways. Since it absorbs the water and store it similar to aura if this energy could be sent out too would be really great but now it isn't possible or isn't working for Slowking.
There are still other water types on which he could work and get started on new ways for it's application.
