WHY...???

Gary nodded in understanding but there was still one question looming in his mind. "Why did you become an Aura Guardian in the first place? Having this much power isn't like you, Ash." Gary inquired. He was probably the only one there who knew Ash for the longest, and with that said, he knew that Ash wasn't interested in power.

Ash chuckled bitterly at that which caused Elena to glare harshly at Gary. Gary was unnerved at that glared and quickly changed his posture so that he could easily run if things get bad.

"You asked me the reason why I trained to use Aura, the answer is simple, my answer is the person I'm holding right now." Ash said as he tightened his grip on Elena. "I became an Aura Practitioner because I want to have the power to protect Elena when the time comes."

"You would go that far to protect her, even if your push into dangerous situation. You are aware on the responsibilities that an Aura Guardian is given by the legendaries." Adan inquired with worry. Being an archaeologist, he knew what kind of jobs an Aura Guardian does; they are in charge in keeping balance in the world between humans and Pokémons. That is one of the reasons why they are practically extinct.

"I've been doing that stuff even before I started training, just asked anyone I traveled with." Ash then pointed at Brock. "Ask him or Elena, Brock knows because his the person who had traveled with me for the longest time and I already showed Elena what I've been through in my journeys." Ash explained.

The three people their looked at Brock, Brock merely nodded his head. "Ash and me had saw practically all the Legendary Pokémons. Ash also helped them with whatever problems they had, that also caused him to be on deaths doors a dozen of times." Brock stated solemnly. After that, the three of them looked at Ash, who was currently caressing Elena's hair and whispering something to her to calm her down.

"No more questions okay, I'll answer all your question when everybody knows our secret but for now, that will be enough." Ash exclaimed which all of them nodded. "I would also ask all of you to keep whatever you saw tonight a secret, if not, then I will kill you right here and now and I am not kidding. I would kill anyone who would either harm Elena or would even dare attempt to break as up, friend or foe, I don't care I will kill them." Ash threatened with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

The four of them nodded once more, the two of them were important to them and would not dare harm their relationship especially now that they know that they literally love each other. That and they don' want to die.

Adan thought had one more thing in his mind that he wanted to share to them; the two of them have the right to know. "Ash, you asked Natasha how she knew your father, right?" Ash nodded. "Sit back then, I'm about to tell you two something that you guys would never believe. The connection between Elena's parent and yours." Adan stated solemnly.

Ash and Elena raised an eyebrow at that, a connection between their families, it was unheard of. They then looked at Natasha who instantly looked away at their gaze. This had now caught their attention. Gary and Brock on the other hand were curious as well.

"Tell us." Ash requested.

Adan smiled sadly. "This may take a while." Adan stated with a stoic tone.
