Pokémon: A look at Zhiye's path to becoming the strongest

But she is not Her Highness Lynn.

"Your Highness Lynn is my ancestor. I am the current queen of Orudran City. My name is Irene."

Irene said as she walked towards Lucario.

And when he walked in front of Lucario, he took Lucario into his arms.

"You have been in a deep sleep."

'Sleeping...'

"It's been a long time."

'how come! '

In an instant!

Lucario's pupils suddenly contracted!

Lucario broke free from Irene's arms, and its body involuntarily retreated backwards!

Lucario couldn't believe it, but the truth was right in front of him.

And all the changes around here also became reasonable at this time.

But Lucario still didn't want to believe it.

'Until yesterday, this was our room!'

"To you, it may have just happened yesterday, but to us it was a thousand years ago, a long, long time ago."

Lucario turned away with lifeless eyes.

The sudden news made it unbelievable.

Lucario weakly supported the display case in front of him. Everything seemed so unfamiliar.

So what about Lord Alan?

They just met yesterday!

A thousand years...A thousand years have passed!

Everything that was once familiar has disappeared.

Why leave me alone! .

[Hirona: Time is so ruthless. To you and me, this is just a live broadcast, but to Lucario, this is a wait spanning a thousand years.]

[Sonia: I know this feeling. Every time I come into contact with history, I don't know how many years it has been. It's the same with Lucario. Just by opening my eyes, I came to a world a thousand years later. Then what does the effort I made in the past count for?]

【Masder: I thought I would see the light of day again and see Aram again, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. 】

[Mikoli: The loneliness of being out of tune with the world is the most difficult to bear. Familiar people and familiar things have become unfamiliar. It’s painful to think about it.]

[Sheba: Alas, even someone as determined as Lucario can't bear the pain of time passing. ]

Everyone expressed their sympathy for Lucario's experience.

Even the most determined Fighting Pokémon.

When faced with something as unstoppable as time, one becomes vulnerable.

I just hope Lucario can get out of this with his own strength.

Otherwise you will be trapped in the vortex of memories.

That would be even more painful.

……

In the screen——

In the palace of Orudran.

On the high platform, Irene sat in the main seat.

Xiaozhi and the others stood beside Irene's throne.

As for the bottom.

It was the half-kneeling Lucario.

Just like back then.

Irene first asked about the other party's situation back then, and then told Lucario the legend.

After learning that he was sealed, Yalang sacrificed himself to save the entire city of Orudron.

Lucario couldn't believe it at first.

I feel ridiculous.

Then came the anger.

After all, in Lucario's impression, Aaron said in front of it that he wanted to abandon the castle.

It was also to prevent himself from stopping him from leaving.

Yalang took action and sealed it in his staff.

And after the angry Lucario told everything.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was somewhat awkward.

The legend doesn't seem to match up.

Even though Irene said that Lucario could treat the castle as his home, the atmosphere was still a bit depressing.

In this extremely depressing atmosphere.

Xiaozhi did speak first, breaking the weird atmosphere.

"Hello, my name is Xiaozhi. Why did you mistake me for Yalang just now? Is it because of the clothes I'm wearing?"

Lucario looked up, and Ash then moved his gaze to the painting of Aaron and his friends.

'No, not the clothes.

But your waveguide is exactly the same as Lord Yalang's.'

Hearing this, Xiaozhi was slightly stunned.

At this time, he still didn't know what waveguide was.

But before Xiaozhi could ask.

Xiaosheng then ran in with a group of Pokémon.

He was running while shouting, "Oh no, Xiaozhi! Mew... Mew has captured Pikachu and the others. Oh, and Meowth! Meowth has also been captured by Mew!"

His voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

But why would Fantasy appear here?

But I heard what Xiaosheng said.

Queen Irene and her mother-in-law did not show any fear.

In Orudran, there are frequent rumors of visions being seen.

In the legend of Orudran, being able to meet a dream means you are a lucky child.

Just when the old woman was praising Xiaosheng.

Xiaosheng interrupted her mother-in-law's words.

He firmly believed that he had indeed seen Pikachu Meowth being captured by Mew.

At first, Xiaozhi and the others thought Xiaosheng was joking.

It was not until Qiduo walked in from the side hall and confirmed Xiaosheng's words.

The words just now aroused everyone's vigilance.

And according to Kiddo's description, Mew turned into Pidgeot and left Uruderang City with Ash's Pikachu and Meowth.

The top floor of the palace.

Musashi and Kojiro, who had been eavesdropping, also felt heavy-hearted.

I was originally happy to see a rare Pokémon like Lucario.

But soon after, I received the news that Meow Meow had been captured.

Meowth is an indispensable partner in their Team Rocket!

But why was he taken away along with Pikachu so accidentally?

"Where's Mew! I want to bring Pikachu back!"

Xiaozhi's voice was particularly firm.

Hearing these words, Lucario was visibly stunned.

At this moment, Xiaozhi's figure seemed to overlap with the former Yalang.

at the same time.

After hearing Xiaozhi's voice, Irene also brought Xiaozhi and others to the terrace of the palace.

Follow the direction of Irene's finger.

Everyone saw a mountain that was like a moon surrounded by stars.

Here, the outline of a tree can be vaguely seen.

This is also the significance of this terrace.

If you look in the same direction elsewhere.

You can't even see the World Tree that originally stood there.

In the eyes of ordinary people.

There is an ordinary mountain.

There were many adventurers who wanted to find the legendary World Tree.

However, even if they knew where the World Tree was, no one could set foot there.

There is a special kind of mist surrounding the World Tree.

Walking through it, you will find yourself back the same way without realizing it.

Without the guidance of dreams, ordinary people would never be able to reach that place.

That being said.

But it’s not completely without solutions.

One of the ways to reach the World Tree is through waveguide.

The powerful wave force can penetrate special fog.

"Lucario's wave power will guide the way forward. Even in the dark, we can move forward as usual."

"With Lucario's guidance, I believe we can easily find the World Tree."

"Lucario, are you willing to take Ash to find Pikachu and the others?"

Irene's gentle voice reached Lucario's ears.

Just like Lynn back then.

She never forces Lucario or Aron to do anything.

Everything will respect the other party's wishes.

Just like Xiaozhi, in Irene's heart, Pokémon and humans are equal.

Irene's words were not commands, but requests.

If Lucario disagrees, Irene will never force him.

And felt the kindness in Irene's words.

Lucario placed his hands on his chest.

'Follow the Queen's will'

Xiaozhi, who was originally a little worried, relaxed after hearing Lucario's voice.

After all, he had only just now noticed that Pikachu had disappeared.

This made Xiaozhi feel very guilty.

Now that we have Lucario's help.

Then we will definitely be able to find Pikachu.

"If you don't mind, I'll help too."

at this time.

A voice came from inside the house.

Qiduo put on her explorer gear again.

When Xiaogang saw Qiduo after she changed her clothes, his eyes had completely turned into hearts.

With just one glance, Xiaogang found the page belonging to Qiduo in his treasured beauty handbook.

And exposed the other party's identity as a world-class explorer to everyone.

With her help, I'm sure this trip will be much smoother.

"Actually, I came to Orudran this time to explore the secrets of the World Tree."

As she spoke, Qiduo leaned on the edge of the terrace and looked towards the World Tree in the distance.

But, I don't know why.

She did not send Magna to place a tracker on Mew, which led Mew to reveal that she had taken the two Pokémon away.

Seemingly well-intentioned help.

But in fact it is more like a means of exploitation.

After all, with her current abilities, she can no longer find Fantasy.

Mew, it is the most mysterious Pokémon.

The audience watching the live broadcast could see the reaction in Qiduo's eyes.

All of a sudden, I had a better understanding of the profession of adventurer.

[Codename "Handsome Guy": To be honest, I suddenly feel that you adventurers are no different from poachers. ]

[Qido: No, listen to my explanation! I really want to help Xiaozhi and the others find Pikachu! I have absolutely no intention of taking advantage of you!]

[Yulongdu: You don't need to quibble. If you didn't want to explore the secrets of the World Tree and send your Pokémon to fight Mew, then none of this would have happened.]

[Shirona: Compared to poachers, you adventurers are no better. Every time I go to a newly discovered ruin to research, I see traces left by you adventurers. The history that records the ancient mysteries has been destroyed beyond recognition by you so-called adventurers. Is this what you call adventurous spirit? ]

[Sonia: That's right! These people are destroying things in the name of adventure!]

Criticized by historians.

And the words of champions.

The audience became even more disgusted with these so-called adventurers.

Destruction is done in the name of adventure.

Such people.

Not good to rate.

Perhaps in their eyes, discovering unknown secrets is a kind of honor.

But what is the price of this glory?

It is the history of those once brilliant civilizations that were destroyed.

Of course, not all adventurers are like this.

But the vast majority of people do this in the name of adventure to justify their destruction.

Just like this time.

Qiduo wants to investigate the secret of the World Tree.

And given her personality, she would make much of the investigation public.

Let the secret of the World Tree become another highlight in your adventurer's career.

But the price is that the World Tree becomes known to the world.

Then there will be a steady stream of explorers.

This is the world tree that maintains the world!

What's the difference between this behavior and leaving a nuclear bomb launch button in a place for others to find?

……

In the screen——

night.

Saying goodbye to everyone.

Lucario returned to the palace again.

It stood under the portrait of the brave warrior Alan and his companions for a long time in silence.

The past scenes flashed through Lucario's mind again.

Just as Lucario was reminiscing about the past.

Xiaozhi also came to the palace.

然而意料之外嚄事情发生了.

Before Xiaozhi could react, Lucario pressed Xiaozhi under him at an extremely fast speed.

But after discovering that the person was Xiaozhi.

Only then did Lucario loosen his hands from around Xiaozhi's neck.

'Please do not stand behind a soldier casually.'

Lucario warned, then stood up.

Xiaozhi doesn't mind this at all!

"I'll leave tomorrow's matters to you. I will definitely find Pikachu back!"

'Are you the owner of that Pikachu?'

"Master? No, we are friends."

'friend?'

"Of course, we are friends who share life and death. If your friend disappears like this, I think you will definitely go look for him."

Xiaozhi walked forward and picked up the hat on the ground. He put the hat back on his head and then spoke.

Hear this.

Lucario was silent.

Aaron was like this before that happened.

'I lead the way for you only because of my promise to the Queen.'

Finished saying this.

Lucario left the palace without hesitation.

No one noticed that when Lucario left, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.

Lucario seems to be a bit duplicitous.

[Liliae: Mom, Mom! Is this what the novels call tsundere?]

[Lusamine: Why are you reading this kind of messed up book again! ]

[Lilia: Eh? I took the book "I'm a Succubus, and the Lady Loves Me" from my mom's bookshelf. Is this also a messed-up book?]

[Hanako: Hehe]

[Shirona: Ahem, it looks like we will be able to see the legendary World Tree soon. It is really exciting. ]

Sirona changed the subject very stiffly.

 …

At the same time, she closed the book "Succubus Shota" she was reading.

You can't read this kind of messed up book!

……

In the screen——

The next morning.

The sky had not yet cleared up when several people set out.

Lucario moved his legs and moved forward quickly.

And behind it followed a car.

In the car were Xiaogang, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng who had been pulled out of bed early in the morning.

As for Xiaozhi, he was sitting in the passenger seat next to Qiduo.

In these mountains.

The car is very steep.
