David and his young Riolu partner face a particularly brutal gym leader in battle.

So... this is a *very* late Aura Day 2022 story. I wish I hadn't missed it, but I used the excuse to write up a story idea that I had come up with a long time ago but had never focused on because it wasn't a story about Ri and Two. It's done now; I had *so* much fun writing it! Makes me kind of wonder why I'm not always having so much fun writing stuff about Ri and Two, but... I *do* love writing their story, I'm just kind of in a rut at the moment and I don't really know what to write about. That's getting off-topic, though. Enjoy this adorable little story! I do feel a little bad about not saying much about it, but I feel that saying anything more than I already have would be too spoilery, so I'll just leave it how it is and leave it up to you guys to read what happens.
