Jason started to listen in on the conversation about the Aura Reader and this woman who traveled with the hero from the first epidemic. Was it really possible that this woman could see the aura of shadow pokemon? Even more so Jason wondered whether it was not just a hallucination from the heat that he saw the same distinct purple aura of shadow pokemon. "So," Jason started slowly, "is it possible that other people can see the exact same auras read by the Aura Read such as this 'gifted' woman did? If so, how would you prove that it was not just maybe some hallucination or daze brought on by some outside source?" Jason wanted dearly to believe that the Professor was right, that the shadow pokemon were gone.

Jason had read up on the shadow pokemon epidemics and more specifically, the random attacks upon trainers by shadow pokemon during these periods of times. Jason even learned from a man ,who was attacked by shadow pokemon, that he felt as if he could never battle again after his defeat. No trainer should have to go through such a feeling, being unable to fulfill your life's dream because of a defeat so great.
