Chapter 597 - 596: Lucario’s Favor
The pale blue energy orb initially flew at high speed, but as it neared Cain, its velocity suddenly slowed.
Cain could feel a strange energy within it, which gradually merged into his chest.
He waited silently for a minute, noticing no immediate changes.
Cain blinked and looked at Altaria, hoping she would explain what had happened.
Altaria gazed at him with deep envy, making Cain feel slightly uncomfortable.
"This is the Aura Gift. Only those who have mastered the power of aura can use it, and they can only do so three times in their lives."
"Anyone who receives this gift will be viewed favorably by Pokémon who wield aura. It's an apology from Lucario for the misunderstanding, as well as gratitude for healing the Tree of Life," Altaria explained through Cain's telepathy.
Hearing Altaria's explanation, Cain finally understood the nature of the orb and why she looked at him with such envy.
In this world, very few Pokémon could wield the power of aura, and even fewer humans.
Those who mastered aura, whether Pokémon or human, were generally incredibly powerful individuals.
Now that Cain had received Lucario's Aura Gift, in the future, whenever he encountered Pokémon who controlled aura, they would feel an immediate affinity toward him.
