My Name of the Spirit Lucario

After walking out of the Crescent Forest, Leo began to feel a little worried.

"How do I get to other areas? If I take public transportation, it will be very troublesome for me to go alone without Xiaozhao... Well, it's difficult."

Leo was constantly thinking of a solution in his mind and didn't realize that he had walked a long way. When he came to his senses, he found that he had gone far away from the entrance of the forest and even came to the gate of the nearby Chubai Town.

Speaking of Chubai Town, one cannot help but think of the first human friend that he met in the elf world.

"I wonder how Takuma is doing now... Let's go check it out."

This small town is not far from the Crescent Forest, and it is not known whether it has been affected by the chaos in the forest. You must know that if the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. Now the world has changed, and the power of darkness is rampant. Although it will have a greater impact on the elves, it is impossible for human society to have no impact at all.

Quietly walking into Chubai Town, one can find that this town, which used to be not very lively but at least had a lot of people, now has its doors closed in every household, and even the daily shops are locked. The flat streets are empty, and it looks very deserted and depressed.

"Squeak", some houses that were damaged by something unknown, had their tattered doors blown open by the wind.

As Leo walked in it, he even stepped on a lot of broken glass. If he looked carefully, he could also find some damaged home appliances on the roadside.

From this dilapidated scene, it can be seen that there must have been a lot of turmoil in this town.

However, it is somewhat fortunate that Leo did not find any corpses or bloodstains along the way. This shows that even if humans are eroded by dark forces, they can still restrain themselves and not fight against each other. Although the reason may be that humans themselves do not possess supernatural powers, unlike the elves who can easily exert destructive power.

But Leo also knew that this restraint was probably only temporary, because in terms of destructive power, humans who seemed to be powerless could be much more terrifying than elves when they went crazy.

"I wonder what happened to Takuma."

The only relatively intact building in Chubai Town is probably the conspicuous research institute.

Leo sneaked to the door of the institute and was about to knock on it, but then he changed his mind and gave up the idea.

"Let's try another method. After all, we don't know what's going on inside... Go over to the rooftop."

The suppression of the dark power made it impossible for Leo to deploy the waveguide for detection as he wished before, so he didn't know whether Takuma was still in the research institute. According to Takuma's habit, if he still stayed here in such a chaotic environment, he would definitely set up a lot of precautions. Leo thought that if he was mistaken for an enemy for no reason, it would be a lot of trouble.

When New Bai Town was invaded by Team Rocket, Leo once sneaked into the research institute through the rooftop, so this time he was familiar with the place and went straight to the research institute from the old place.

"Put your hands up!"

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked through the door of the rooftop, he heard a shout. At the same time, a force that made Leo's scalp tingle was quickly gathering behind him.

Fortunately, it was a familiar voice, so Leo quickly spoke.

"Wait, calm down, Takuma, it's me, Leo."

He thought that after he announced his identity, the people behind him would be off guard, but he never expected that after hearing Leo introduce himself, Takuma remained unmoved.

"Leo... I don't know any Leo. Tell me, what is your purpose for sneaking in? If you don't tell me quickly, I will shoot you!"

"???"

What's going on? This script is wrong?

With his hands raised high, Leo slowly turned around and saw Takuma, who looked alert. He was wearing protective clothing and holding a miniature energy pistol, pointing it vigilantly at the elf in front of him.

"It's me, Leo, don't you recognize me?"

Leo tried to reveal his identity again, but the gun pointed at him remained steady.

"You have to prove that I know you first, otherwise I will be rude!"

At this moment, Leo suddenly realized why Arceus's clone had issued such a warning.

……

"Like I said, this world has been swallowed by darkness. Creatures without the protection of the purifying light will be assimilated by the darkness after entering this world. In other words, child, you will be swallowed by your darkness... You will no longer be yourself!"

"You don't care even if you lose your memory?"

……

In other words, in this world engulfed by darkness, everyone Leo knew had lost their memories of the past.

"No, to be precise, what they lost were the memories related to me!"

Leo corrected his initial thought.

But no matter which kind of memory loss it is, it is a rather bad situation for Leo now.

Because Leo thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out how to prove that he knew Takuma.

In fact, the best way is to take out the armor that was made with Takuma's countless efforts. I believe that the many unique design styles on the armor will definitely make Takuma feel familiar, and the person who was entrusted with such a precious armor must be an acquaintance.

But the problem is that the armor was activated by Leo to self-destruct in order to save the king in ancient times. In other words, the only evidence to prove his identity was left behind in a distant era.

Not only did he have no evidence to prove himself, Leo also knew that Takuma was not the type to procrastinate and be indecisive. This was a rare and excellent quality when he was a companion, but if he was an enemy, then...

In a flash, the alertness in Takuma's eyes became more and more intense. Seeing that the Pokémon opposite him had not yet given him convincing proof, he decisively pressed the button of the energy pistol.

A condensed beam of energy flashed across the air.

"I'm sorry, Takuma."

The beam fired from this energy pistol is a fatal attack to humans. After being improved by Takuma, it can even cause considerable damage to some fragile Pokémon. However, what they are facing at this time is the Steel Pokémon with extremely strong defense.

The reason why Leo was unwilling to use force was simply because it was difficult for him to attack someone he knew.

But at this moment, he could only subdue the other party first and then have a good talk with him.

After apologizing to the boy in his heart, Leo turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared on the spot.

The energy beam only hit the opposite wall, and its powerful force penetrated the wall and made a round hole.

When Takuma saw that the elf had disappeared, he immediately rolled forward. At the same time, with his hand that was not holding the gun, he took out a flash bomb from his waist and threw it to the ground without hesitation.

The pitch-black goggles were automatically placed on the boy's nose. He believed that this specially made super-strong flash bomb was enough to make any creature dizzy and blind.

But before the flash bomb hit the ground, a claw quickly grabbed it and threw it out of the window.

"Bang", an extremely dazzling light exploded outside the house. The light was so strong that it even illuminated the inside of the house. It is conceivable that if the flash bomb exploded in the house, Leo would have nowhere to hide and would probably suffer a great loss.

But now it's different, the situation has reversed, Leo, who has resolved the threat of the flash bomb, has rushed to Takuma's side and stretched out his hands as if to grab him.

Of course, Leo withdrew nearly 90% of his strength, leaving only a trace of strength in his hands, which was enough to subdue Takuma.

After all, the human body is not as tough as that of an elf. If Leo used all his strength, the boy would probably be seriously injured if not disabled.

However, it was this little bit of "kindness" that caused Leo to suffer a great loss.
