In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]]. | In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power.

The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb. | The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era.

During the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Ultra Aura is described as the natural power of all living things in Alola and key to understanding the power of [[Z-Move]]s. It is also the power that fuels {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}, who is capable of absorbing the Ultra Aura's of others. Necrozma is celebrated by the Alolan people during the [[Manalo Festival]] every 21 years, which restores Necrozma to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. The [[Aether Foundation]] were monitoring it, noting that Ultra Aura decreases when an [[Ultra Wormhole]] opens up, making all adults feel tired. Though levels of Ultra Aura drastically increase when an [[Ultra Beast]] arrives. Children and Pokémon aren't affected by Ultra Aura. | |||

In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura even before they hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated in [[Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and Goh's room in search of the Aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same Aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix. | In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura even before they hatch and are able to react to it.

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Ash claimed that Lucario's Aura felt similar to [[Bond Phenomenon|his bond]] with his {{AP|Greninja}}. Greninja later demonstrated this Aura ability and helped Lucario polish its own Aura. After training with Greninja, Lucario and Ash were able to sync up more than before, allowing Lucario to create a giant Aura Sphere. In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'' and [[JN125]], Lucario used this newfound synchronicity to draw power from the Aura of its allies and make its Aura Sphere grow even bigger than before. | In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Ash claimed that Lucario's Aura felt similar to [[Bond Phenomenon|his bond]] with his {{AP|Greninja}}.

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura.

[[Riley]]'s animations in the [[Sinnoh]] games suggest that he can use Aura as well. In {{v2|Platinum}}, his hand lights up with a blue glow in his opponent animation. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, his hair and hat will shake in his idle animation, similar to Lucario's aura-sensing appendages. The {{p|Riolu}} Egg he gives the player is the only available Riolu in the game, and Riley also trains a Lucario. | [[Riley]]'s animations in the [[Sinnoh]] games suggest that he can use Aura as well.
