Gladiolus (Aura)

## Description

When the user uses this Aura, a crown will be formed above the user's head, as if the aura wants to show that the user is some sort of royalty. The crown will shrink after the user becomes more accustomed to the aura, showing that the user doesn't need a crown to rule. With or without crown, the part of body which the user will use as a substitute for blade or sword will glow dimly. The glow will grow the more the user uses Aura Moves which will increase the user's strength. Allies affected by the Aura Ability will be cloaked with with energy.

If the user is affected by Taunt or Confusion, energies with shapes of eyes will be formed over the user's eyes, blinding the user until the battle ends.

## History

The aura was once seen used by an Empoleon. The Empoleon was known as a king who ruled the ocean. He was a modest king who rule with compassion. However, one day, his dominion was attacked, raided by Pokemon who loves nothing but bloods. The king took arms and defeated the raiders with ease, thanks to his allies. His victory was an empty one, as his son was kidnapped by the escaping raiders. The king set out with his trusted allies to rescue the king's son. Fate, though, decided that the king should never meet his son...alive. The raiders had killed his son, which infuriated the king. Anger enveloped him and he killed the raiders until no raiders were left. That moment made him thought that he wasn't suited to become a king, and he left his dominion and hide in the abyss.

From that day, the aura appears before those who have potentials in becoming a king, someone who can rule. It's not clear what were the details of requirements for this aura, since being a king is not really defined. One can lure with iron fist but still earn this aura. However, rumors said that one should be able to learn Sword Dance or any other blade or swords Moves to be able to earn this aura.
