Sir Aaron

Sir Aaron (Japanese: アーロン Arlon) is a major character who appeared in flashbacks in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. He is an Aura Guardian and the hero of legends concerning the lands surrounding Rota.

History
Sir Aaron was a knight of Cameran Palace. He was also an Aura Guardian, able to manipulate a type of energy known as Aura, which is why he is called the True Guardian of Aura. He taught, his student, how to use this energy as well. Because of this, the two became close friends. Lucario, however, still saw their relationship as one of master and servant.

One day, Aaron left the castle to stop a devastating war between two unknown armies before they destroyed his kingdom. He found Lucario, whom he told that he was never going back to the castle. However, Lucario misinterpreted Aaron's words as an admission of desertion out of cowardice. When Lucario tried to stop him, Aaron sealed him in his staff. Before he died to stop the war, he sent a message to Lucario using a time flower, saying he was his friend and that he did not want Lucario to share the same fate he suffered. Aaron said, "Aura is with me," and restored 's power by sacrificing himself. Lucario did not know what had happened, and thought Aaron was abandoning the castle instead of saving it.

Ash Ketchum has the same Aura as Sir Aaron. Because of this, Lucario initially mistook Ash for Aaron. Ash is also able to use the same powers as Aaron when he wears the special gloves that Aaron wore. Coincidentally, Ash dressed up exactly as Aaron did in the tournament.

After Lucario died, they were able to reunite with each other in the afterlife. There, it was revealed that Sir Aaron had developed a taste for chocolate, something that Lucario found very amusing. The fact that Lucario did not know what chocolate was until Max gave him one left Sir Aaron and Lucario's true statuses unclear.

As a result, his qualities of strength and courage continue to be celebrated in Rota's annual Guardian of the Aura festival. initially thought otherwise when he first emerged from his scepter, though he later came to understand the circumstances behind his former mentor's sacrifice and regained his respect for Sir Aaron.
