AURA
Documented Report #1Throughout history there have been reports and sightings of people and pokemon possessing extraordinary abilities. People with the power to "sense" the world around them, to be able to draw strength from it. Commonly displayed within the Asian community by notable characters such as monks or martial artist. The power to create barriers to ward off evil or strike an object without physical contact. These abilities have been said to utilize internal forces such as chi and chakra.

What is Aura?
Aura is a form of spiritual energy. It has been described as the essence of every living creature.
How can Aura be utilized?
As mentioned before Aura is something that every being possesses. However, being able to tap into that power is a different story. In the past there were able to sense and control the power of Aura. These people were known by many names, Aura Guardians being one of them. It has been said that these Aura Guardians would travel the world performing good deeds and teaching their skills to those who possessed the potential. Mysteriously, any records of them have disappeared from the majority of history and their secrets seemingly lost.
Pokemon have also been shown to be able to utilize the powers of Aura, but even then there are few in number. Battle techniques such as Dark Pulse or Detect seem to display some of the characteristics associated with Aura. Further research has showed that Fighting-type, Dark-type, and Ghost-type pokemon access Aura more naturally than others.
What can Aura be used for?
A being capable of using Aura has access to a multitude of abilities. Information gathered from ancient reports have described Aura users as being able to:
- Read the minds and actions of another being.
- "Sense" other auras and view surroundings even while blinded. It allows users to view through some objects.
- Project one's aura; such as to create barriers or attacks.
- To transfer their aura to others, potentially fatal to user.
- To communicate with others via telepathy.
