DD meant that each circle contains one Pokémon owned by Ash.

Ash already has one Pokémon from each circle though...

As in, Pokémon he owns/is going to own in this series.

@FinnishPokéFan92 the entire convo went:

(Which Pokémon will he get was the question asked)

One from one circle

Which isn’t really useful information since he has already caught One Pokémon per circle, but I guess this discussion should be ended anyway since everyone has put across their points.

Looking at the preview again, are you sure that wind isn't just indicating the beginning of the battle against Tauros? I'm all for Ash showing off capabilities for Aura, but I think it's a stretch here...

Again, that is obviously not the wind. When have they ever animated a currents as a blue, crescent, semi-transparent, energy-like wave that pops up from the ground? Isn't air supposed to be... you know... invisible?

And, again, I don't believe that both Ash and Pikachu are using Aura in that scene, be it subconsciously or not (not to mention that I'm in the camp of people who find the idea that "character X is so powerful and proficient with their special gift that they can perform advanced techniques with it, either intentionally or without realizing it, despite having no proper training" to be unbelievable, idiotic and a poor excuse for weak writing). The fact the wave appears while Pikachu is battling definitely puts a big question mark under the whole Ash uses Aura theory (though that might still be the case, since we barely know anything about the battle, where it's taking place and whether it is before or after Ash got the egg). I'm with @The Amazing Popplio on this one, in that it's probably just Riolu sensing Ash and Pikachu and the Aura they're giving off during that battle. But, again, we don't have any context regarding the battle, so who knows what's actually going on with that wave? What is clear about said wave, however, is that it's not a mere gust of wind.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

If the wave is aura I only hope contact with Riolu is specifically mentioned as the trigger for it, and not Ash just happening to manifest these abilities after so long right when he’s about to meet an aura-sensitive pokemon.

That would be the epitome of lazy writing.

 

[Daren]

Yeah, I don't think Ash is using Aura in that battle (or that he ever will use it in battle--that would feel kind of cheaty, I think).
If his Aura sensitivity comes up again I expect it to be a way to link him with Riolu and maybe used for non-battle things like when he tracked the Aura Sphere Riolu in DP (and maybe those few odd things in this series like hearing Lugia).

 

[Queen Cynthia]

I'm pretty sure Ash will get a Riolu. The color of the egg and the word "aura/wave guidance" in the episode title pretty much suggest that.
Plus, it's only my theory, but it clearly looks like the writers are giving Ash the audience's all-time favourite Pokemon starting with Dragonite and Gengar. So, Riolu/Lucario fits in here perfectly and it would only be logical.

Anyways, wow Ash getting one of the best and most popular Pokemon would be really cool. I'm looking forward to this episode!

What if they use the Aura Abilities as cop-out for Ash not needing a Mega Ring and Keystone to Mega Evolve his Pokemon.

I don't think it would be necessary; they could have him get a Mega Ring and stone when they go to Kalos.

If we didn't know better and with that face, I would say it was Pikachu who laid the egg!

OMG Same energy Ha ha ha

Why they show us the more random images for the preview.

 

[KrspaceT]

I dread I'm going to see that image in places it shouldn't be....

 

[Daren]

Yeah, I agree it looks like it's trying to lift or pull something heavy to me--possibly the egg.

Although one twitter comment suggested he's trying to open a ketchup bottle.

Has the ketchup bottle thing ever popped up again in the anime

There was an ending sequence about it in Japan during XY, and I think we saw him having ketchup in one of Korrina's episodes.
