Chapter 22 Mew and Aura, Evolution
As the situation gradually spiraled out of control, everyone was terrified by Mew's abilities.
Xia Mu quickly spoke up, turning the tide.
"Although we don't know who you are, everyone is terrified by how easily you transform into other Pokémon," Xia Mu said.
He couldn't remain silent, but he was also afraid that saying the wrong thing would cause Mew to run away.
So Xia Mu spoke tactfully, without revealing Mew's identity.
At the same time, Xia Mu was recalling the original storyline.
He remembered that at the beginning of the Mewtwo's counterattack, Mew would indeed awaken from its slumber upon sensing Mewtwo's power and then search for Mewtwo's location.
Could it be that Mew's slumbering place was here?
Xia Mu was somewhat hesitant to believe it, because in the original story, although there was a crescent-shaped lake, it was set against a backdrop of a snow-capped mountain. While
Cinnabar Island also had mountains, they weren't snow-capped mountains, much less icebergs.
So, Mew had simply been passing through Cinnabar Island , happened to be playing around, and then stumbled upon Xia Mu preparing food and decided to mooch a meal.
Hearing Xia Mu's words, Mew obviously reacted.
It ceased its red Gyarados form, a flash of shimmering white light, and it reverted to its original appearance.
The chubby pink creature floated in the air, its two three-pronged paws covering its mouth, constantly emitting joyful "meow meow meow" sounds. Its long tail swayed with its emotional fluctuations, incredibly agile.
Adorable.
Even Xia Mu, a grown man, was captivated.
Without hesitation, he pulled out his Pokédex to check Mew's description, combining it with his previous life's knowledge of Mew to draw a conclusion.
Mew was curious about Xia Mu's actions. It playfully flew to the top of his head and, unexpectedly, perched on his hair, joining him in looking at its Pokédex entry.
The information was scarce, even the images were composites, but Mew was watching intently.
"Mimi~ Mimi~ Miyo~~"
A series of calls came from Mew's mouth, leaving Xia Mu somewhat bewildered.
She couldn't understand it.
Growlithe and Riolu, however, came up to talk to it.
In short, she didn't know what Mew was trying to express, nor what Growlithe and Riolu were replying to.
The only thing she could understand was the current emotion displayed on the cheat device simulator.
However, the content displayed after the emotion column was just a summary of the current state of mind, not a real-time dialogue.
Only after the three Pokémon had been talking for a while did Xia Mu speak up somewhat awkwardly: "Um, do you know telepathy?
As a Mythical Pokémon, and a Psychic-type, you should know it, right? Otherwise, I really don't know what you're trying to say."
Xia Mu's question naturally made them look at him again.
Mew stopped perching on Xia Mu's head and flew into the air, circling around Riolu twice.
"You all possess the power of Aura, meow. Riolu's Aura power can help you awaken Aura, meow. With Aura, you can communicate telepathically, meow... Aura is with me, meow..." A very sweet, childlike voice rang in his mind.
This shocked Xia Mu once again.
So it's that direct?
They don't even seem to know each other, meow...
Ugh! What meow?
Aura power is absolutely unique in the Pokémon world.
It's also one of the few special abilities that humans can master.
Besides Aura power, there are also psychic abilities that Xia Mu has studied in depth, such as Viridian Power and Psychic Power.
Coming to this world was already a miracle for Xia Mu.
Obtaining the cheat simulator made Xia Mu feel like the chosen one.
Now, encountering Mew, and even having the hope of accessing Aura power.
Is this cheating?
Actually, Xia Mu was excited when he first obtained Riolu, thinking that he might be able to raise Riolu to study Aura power.
But as the days after his transmigration passed, Xia Mu actually lost that idea.
Because without external assistance, any kind of special power is extremely difficult to obtain.
Otherwise, how could so many Lucario trainers in the original story be ordinary people?
In the original story, only the hero Aaron and another named Ya Xuan truly mastered the powerful Aura.
Even those who came into contact with it could only sense it superficially, like Ash later on.
Xia Mu's gaze involuntarily met Riolu's.
Their intimacy level had reached the highest level.
Although it still hadn't reached 220 points, 210 points was already quite high.
At this moment, the two seemed to experience a strange feeling due to Mew's pull, as if their spirits were about to merge into one.
"Aura... is it with me..." Xia Mu said doubtfully.
At the same time, Riolu let out a cry: "Aura, be with me."
This was Riolu's voice.
Xia Mu understood what Riolu was saying.
This kind of magical thing was simply unbelievable.
It was clearly a cry, but in his mind, it became understandable words.
"Aura, is this Aura?" Xia Mu looked at Riolu, then at Mew in the sky.
Mew flew around casually with a grin, changing its posture before saying, "This is Aura, but your Aura is very weak, Mimi."
Weakness wasn't important; the key was that Xia Mu had indeed sensed that special spiritual power. It seemed that if he controlled it, he could do many incredible things.
"But how did I awaken this power? Wait, was it because you were perched on my head earlier?" Xia Mu asked.
Mew nodded again: "It's to thank you for treating me to delicious food, Mimi, hee hee hee hee~~"
Sure enough!
A glint flashed in Xia Mu's eyes.
Just then, Riolu raised its head and let out a howl,attracting the attention of Xia Mu and all the Pokémon present.
"It's going to evolve, Mimi." Mew was like a child who knew everything.
You might say it was immature, its voice was indeed immature, and it was very playful.
But in reality, Mew was older than anyone else.
It is also undoubtedly the most intelligent Pokémon; it knows everything and understands countless principles that ordinary people cannot comprehend.
After all, in Mewtwo's counterattack, Mew acted as an elder to educate Mewtwo.
...
A white light enveloped Riolu's body.
The evolution process was completely different from that of Gyarados.
Xia Mu was incredibly excited at this moment, watching the transformation, he immediately brought up Riolu's... no! Now it was Lucario's attribute panel.
