Concerning discovery

Wes stiffened at this but I patted Hades keystone to calm it and with a hiss it withdrew back into my pocket. "Relax, Hades is won't harm you unless you give me a reason to allow it to. I can tell you still don't believe me so why don't you stop by my new home in a few days since I need I furnish the place and I'll cook you up a nice meal, my treat." I said with a friendly smile. Normally I wouldn't care about a random person that I met out of nowhere but something told me that Wes was important somehow.-

Call it a trainers intuition if you want but I felt like he would be worth knowing like May, Brendan and Steven. "Now then about this dark and twisted aura you said you saw, can you describe it more clearly?" I asked Rui after leaving Wes to his own thoughts. "Um well, it was wrong feeling, cold and hostile sort of like the impression your pokemon gave me but not natural, fake. I don't think I can really describe it better than that but i did notice that the pokemon that had it was like a fighting machine that was even willing to attack people without hesitation or reason." she said seriously.-

I quickly went over my aura knowledge before frowning when I did indeed find something that sounded strikingly similar. A forbidden aura technique that closed the door to the heart in pokemon. These closed hearted pokemon were basically monsters as they were insane and in exchange for this they gained a sharp increase in power and ruthlessness. It was an accursed existence that knew only violence and destruction without the tempering influence of morality and care.-Updated chapters at novelhall.com

Even more so anyone bonded to that pokemon was infected by this through their own auras leading them to be more criminally inclined than normal. The issue was that according to the information i had on the technique there shouldn't be anyone capable of doing it as it required either a grandmaster of aura or a corrupted life jewel. I honestly didn't think that without the information I myself possessed on the skill that it was possible to become a grandmaster of aura anymore. A corrupted life jewel was even less likely as to create one you needed both a grandmaster alchemist and jeweler plus countless ritualistic sacrifices.-

In the end I chose to purchase a steel table and chair set , cabinets and synthetic cloth couch. I didn't need a bed as Vulcan was much more comfortable than any options I had here. It wouldn't care anyways since that was the usual way we did things anyways. This cost me a good twenty thousand poke since it included delivery to my house that was way out of the way in the desert. With that taken care of I started scouting out the locals and found a few interesting places in town.-

The first was a deceptively small building that was called the Pre gym and was an interesting take on the leagues gyms. The gym leader was a man named Justy that reminded me of Brawly and Norman oddly enough. He was cheerful and friendly but at the same time had a seriousness to him that lended well to his control of the Pre gym. The gym itself worked based on a challenger having to face six slightly stronger than the last trainers before battling Justy himself. Much like the normal gyms each trainer had different teams of pokemon depending on the strength of the challenger as well though low Ace level was as high as it went.-

After learning this I politely rejected Justy's offer to take the challenge myself as I wouldn't gain anything from it as an elite level trainer myself. Still the man insisted on at least swapping contacts since he felt it was a good idea. That settled the matter of my second contact in the region and I leisurely checked out the other interesting places in town. The colosseum was of course the next worthwhile place to check as it was exactly as one would expect with a massive arena that regularly held tournaments for rare resources in this region like supplements and TMs.-

I was flat out told I wasn't allowed to participate though as I was too strong and would ruin the events if I did with my pokemon. That was, admittedly, disappointing to hear but something I could understand. The final place that caught my attention though was the mayors office as I witness Wes and Rui encountering a tall man with a frankly sinister appearance. He had wild unnaturally flowy serpentine white hair and red eyes. His outfit was a purple skin tight body shirt that revealed his gaunt figure and tattered looking red waist cloth and dark blue pants.
