"She makes an excellent point, Professor. It must have been near-impossible to find them during that point in time without the Aura Reader. I doubt luck would bring somebody that far." Desmond added to the end of Velis' question, quite curious about it himself. He stared ahead, slowing down as to not bump into the Professor as he stopped. 

"Well," The Professor began, turning to face the group. "It is almost impossible to gather information from back then about the trainer that stopped the epidemic. Not a whole lot is known about the, from my gathered facts, duo that stopped the first crisis our region had. The biggest source of information was from the people of the village in Agata Forest. A man there, known as Eagun, told me his granddaughter had traveled with the trainer that had captured the Shadow Pokémon during the first crisis. She wasn't a trainer, but what he referred to as a 'blessed individual'. He wasn't too clear in what he meant, but I believe he may have meant it in a gifted sense, as in psychic power."

"Psychic power? That's a bit far-fetched, Professor." Desmond chipped in, not seeming to believe it. "Certainly there has to be a more scientific explanation?" 

Michael shook his head. "I understand you wouldn't trust in such a thing, as Orre doesn't have many psychics. Other regions actually have quite a few though, they are indeed real, and sensing Shadow Aura is possibly a psychic talent. The conclusion I came to was that the woman that traveled with the trainer had this power, and assisted him by pointing out Shadow Pokémon. As Velis said, the Aura Reader didn't exist during the first epidemic, therefor there has to be an explanation to how they identified and captured those Pokémon. I feel this is the closest we'll ever get to the truth." 

"I suppose..." Desmond muttered, retreating to his thoughts, not wanting to voice his disbelief anymore. [I]'Though still... Psychic powers... That can't be it, can it? No, there has to be a better explanation than that. Perhaps I can be the one to discover the truth to this mystery... Maybe there was something similar to the Aura Reader that existed back then and only she had it? it's a stretch, but it's worth believing in as a possibility. I wonder where I would start my search for information..?'[/I]
