Burst
Burst (Japanese: バースト BURST) is a special technique in the Pokémon RéBURST manga that allows a human to combine with a Pokémon, gaining its powers and immunities while increasing the user's physical and defensive strengths. Those who can use Burst are known as Burst Warriors (Japanese: バースト戦士). It is stated that in order to use Burst, one must go through rigorous training or else their life will be in danger if they attempt it. If one is defeated while in Burst form, they will automatically change back to normal.
Mechanics
In order for one to perform Burst, they will need a special item known as a Burst Heart (Japanese: BURST ハート BURST Heart, often shortened to B Heart). The Burst Heart is a small, pocket sized jewel that actually holds a Pokémon inside of it, sealed so that its power can be used by anyone wishing to fuse with it. The Burst Heart can be compared to a Poké Ball in that it holds a Pokémon inside, but is also different due to the fact that it doesn't store a Pokémon to be released for later use. If a Burst Heart is broken, the Pokémon inside will be freed.
In RB15, Ryouga is actually sent inside of his Burst Heart to better connect with his Zekrom. It is seen that there is an entire field inside along with a mysterious boy who tells him that Zekrom does not intend to see him.
Compass of Light
The Compass of Light (Japanese: 光の羅針盤) is a large crystal-like object that has the ability to search out Burst Hearts. The compass has six grooves inside of it that if the "six original Burst Hearts" are put inside, then Ryouga will be able to find the person he has been searching for, Arcades.
Abilities
When Burst is activated, any user will have their physical traits increased. Whatever abilities the user will get depends on the type of Pokémon used to combine; for example, a Template:Type2 Pokémon will make the user immune to Electric attacks.
