Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I noticed that much too, with that short Suicune encounter. Lot of power coming from it... but I think an ordinary person would notice something too if they were closeby." Aden knew he wasn't well versed in the subject by any means, though it sounded about right. "Still, other than those, I don't usually notice much or can trust those senses to work."

Already, Aden could see why doing this in more private settings was a good idea. Most would take what he was about to do with a confused stare. At the very least, it sounded easy enough. Almost too much so, but one had to start somewhere. He didn't say anything, but nodded and set the spoon down.

With the breath and him closing his eyes, he tried to focus on just that.

While Aden wasn't saying a whole lot on the matter, he kept at it. He found it easier to work everything else out of the equation, employing Calm Mind to achieve that goal. It wasn't quite as hard as he thought it would be, at least when it came to singling out the bowl and its warmth.

It was spreading it from there that'd be a bit difficult, having to slowly reverse the previous technique to allow more within his different view.

Gradually, more was noticed, but most of it was sketchy. He could notice Blizzard just fine, for the moment. Same for his own bowl. He had figured to try and get a grasp on the other bowl, but this was met with less than desirable results.

Then, a few seconds later, it faded. His senses had dulled, and he lost what he was trying to expand to. "...Lemme try that again." He said once he was certain it wasn't coming back so quickly, repeating the process.

He was going to get it sooner or later, darn it.

Aden had a little bit of an easier time getting things localized and having it spread, trying again to at least get what the room itself had. He was able to get a better idea of what he was looking for, and he could get the rest of the room down. He was able to maintain it a little longer, nearly a minute, before it started to fail him again.

This time, however, he didn't fight to keep it going. He just let it fade so that he could get it going a third time, growing a little more efficient in his means. Not only did it localize and spread quickly, he was able to get it even further.

His senses spread beyond the room they were in, reaching to where Ryan was. Then some of the others around, maybe a Pokemon or two as well. He barely got to where he could notice another Pokemon, and while all of it lasted a brief time, the mild flood was enough to nearly make him fall backwards. "Uh...!"

"Kinda? I think my head almost spun." Aden spoke up once he had recovered a bit. "Gotta be because I'm not used to it... but you and both bowls were definite. I think Ryan too, and a couple of others that must be staying here too. There was a Pokemon or two after that, one having to be the resident Chansey. As soon as I got that, though, it stopped."

"I would say I'm not sure how anyone else does it, but you had to have learned yourself. Dad and sis probably have their own ways to achieve it, too." That little bit was more than enough to tell Aden that it, like nearly everything else lately, wasn't going to come too quickly. Something like that couldn't have been instant for anyone. "But yeah, that's probably a good idea."

Not that he didn't try as he resumed eating, but he was careful to limit it to the boundaries of the room. Anything further than that might not be so wise, and if he could get that much down, it'd give more of a starting ground.

Aden's issues weren't so much of a doubt as his figuring that he just didn't have the same genetics as other hybrids. He knew he looked largely human, so his doubts came from the limits his own genetics imposed. Or so he thought.

Because of this, he figured that there would be some sort of plateau he'd reach. He did finish the soup somewhat quickly, to avoid it getting cold. But he kept to the mild practice, trying to at least maintain a little range with his sense.
