My Name of the Spirit Lucario

When Chihong placed the two gems in Asuka Teru's hands, the girl still looked dazed and incredulous.

The mountain that is known as the highest in the elf world, and also the world's strongest elf trainer and two-time champion, Red, was defeated by himself?

It all seemed like a dream, unreal and illusory.

But the feeling of the heavy gem in his hand reminded him of Asuka all the time.

Victory at this moment belongs to her and her elves.

Even though he is only about 10 years older than Asuhi Teru, it has been more than a decade since Akagi became a Pokémon trainer. He has experienced thousands of battles, including some failures, but never has a failure made him so happy and relieved as this one.

The excited girl in front of Chihong gave him a feeling that she was like her past self.

No, maybe, she can surpass me and become a better trainer than me.

Therefore, perhaps, the things that Chihong failed to do can be left to them to accomplish.

Chihong smiled and shook hands with Asuka.

"In you, I see the courage to not fear a strong enemy, the wisdom to be good at strategy, and the persistence to not give up. I believe that handing these two pearls to you is the best choice."

How could what Chihong handed over be just two precious beads?

What this strongest trainer handed over was the hope of this world.

At this moment, he placed his hopes on Asuka and her elves.

"Mr. Red, is it okay for you to hand over the orb to us like this?"

It is obvious that Asuhi Teru's words refer to the control of Red by the dark forces.

After all, these two pearls were given to Chihong by "Wu" for safekeeping, but now Chihong gave them to Ming Rizhao. I wonder if this will have any impact on Chihong.

"The power of darkness? No, in fact, from beginning to end, it will not have any influence at all."

Red said honestly.

Should we say that he is worthy of being the strongest trainer? The dark power that descended upon this world and that no living being could avoid being eroded by it had no effect on Red. His attitude before was just a trick he had used to force out the strongest power of Asuka and her spirits, thus testing whether they had the strength to take on the hope of saving the world.

In addition to two gems, Chihong also took out 6 bottles of "full recovery medicine" to treat all of Asuka's elves in turn.

"And what about your elves?"

Asuka was envious of the generosity of the strongest trainer, but the girl still asked with pretended reserve.

"It's okay. I still have a lot of this medicine. It's more important to cure your spirit first."

Asuhi Teru and Leo clenched their fists instantly.

Not out of anger, but out of envy.

Leo, who was receiving treatment, glanced at Asuhi Teru with a look that said, "Look at others, they are also trainers, why are they so rich?"

The girl also had an expression that said, "Can you blame me for this? I don't know who drank such expensive medicine as if it were water when he turned evil and wasted a lot of it."

Just as the man and the elf were having a fierce eye exchange, Chihong had already finished treating each elf with skillful techniques.

He patted Charizard's muscular thigh.

"Okay, your injuries have been healed, it's time to set off."

This statement is quite confusing.

"Ah, where are you going?"

"'The Spine of the World', the entrance to the dark world."

Chihong pointed to the mountain range that was not very far from the battle tower.

"Go ahead, someone is waiting for you there."

……

I don’t know if it’s because the power of the Gods of Time and Space no longer covers this mountain range, but now the “Spine of the World” allows flying elves to fly to the top of the mountain at will.

So, Asuka rode on Charizard and Leo rode on Latias, and they flew non-stop to the top of the Spine of the World.

It is a place I have been to before, and it is also the place where the altar for summoning the gods of time and space is located in the legend.

With the help of two elves with extremely fast flying speed, Asuhi Teru and Leo quickly reached the top of the mountain.

Just after arriving, the two (elves) were shocked by the scene before them.

The mountaintop, which was originally extremely empty with only two lonely altars, is now crowded with people. Some are sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed to recuperate, some are moving back and forth to warm up, some are whispering to exchange information, and finally, there are some people looking in the direction of the mountain, as if they are expecting something.

More importantly, these people are all acquaintances of Asu and Leo.

"You guys, why...are you all here?"

When Asha, the Fire-type Pokémon Gym Master of Kabuki Town, saw Asuka's confused look, she walked up to the girl, hooked her arms around her shoulders and said with a giggle.

"We are here, but we have been waiting for you and Leo for a long time."

"Waiting for us? And waiting for a long time?"

After hearing this, Asuhi Teru was even more confused. She looked at Leo, who shook his head at her and said that he had never revealed that he would come here.

Because of this, even Leo himself was confused.

It might not be surprising that someone knew about the mysterious message inviting them to the battle tower, but as soon as Asumiu and Leo finished their battle with Red, they rushed here immediately without telling anyone. But now, Asha, no, not only her, but everyone present, seemed to be certain that Asumiu and Leo would come here. What was going on?

"It was Mr. Chihong who informed us."

The champion of the Middle Region, and a good friend of Asuhi Teru and Leo, Odamaki Safia explained aloud.

"Three days ago, Mr. Chihong, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared and contacted us and the others here. He told us that Xiaozhao and Leo would reach the top of this mountain today to have a decisive battle with the dark force, and asked us to choose whether we were willing to go and help."

"Yes, just like Safiya said, we were also surprised when we heard the news. Although Mr. Chihong did not give too much explanation, such as why he knew about this matter and why he was sure that the two of you would come here, we believe in Mr. Chihong's judgment. Therefore, after the Alliance handled the delivery and placement of the purification crystals, they assigned us a task: to protect you at all costs, so that you can defeat the darkness and bring light back to this world."

Safiya's partner, Ruby, also stepped forward and said.

“Of course, even without the alliance’s arrangement, we will definitely come here to lend you a helping hand. Although our world is not short of young heroes, how can we always place such heavy burdens on the shoulders of young people like you? I, an old man, am not inferior to you young people at all, don’t you think, Mr. Akagi, hahahaha.”

He calls himself an old man, but in fact he is just a uncle with a hearty smile. Tiexuan from the Electric-type Pokémon Gym in Shiden City was stroking his snow-white beard and laughing.

Infernape raised his hand and greeted Leo, while old man Akagi beside him also put on the official trainer combat uniform for the first time in a long time.

"This is the world my old friend tried so hard to protect. How can I let his efforts go to waste?"

Old man Akagi touched the small Poké Ball hanging around his neck, and a look of determination emerged on his face as he recalled the glorious days of the past.
