Lu Chen carefully put away the documents given by Misty.
On the other side, Ash and Brock were standing at the edge of the yard.
Seeing Misty holding two Poké Ball with a happy face, my curiosity was aroused.
"Misty, what are you excited about?" Ash came over.
Misty raised his head, unable to hide the pride on his face.
"I'm happy because brother Lu Chen agreed to let me help him cultivate these Water-type fossils Pokémon!"
Ash's eyes widened instantly.
"Ah? Isn't this too cheating?!"
Ash's voice changed its tone with excitement, full of envy and disbelief.
Then Ash turned to look at Lu Chen, with a kind of Covet in his eyes.
"Brother Lu Chen, I can also help you cultivate fossils Pokémon! I promise to take good care of them--"
"No."
Lu Chen refused very simply, with a smile on his face.
"Why!"
"Because you haven't even taken care of your own Froakie."
Ash lowered his head and looked at Froakie in his arms.
Froakie just raised his head, looked at him with his big wet eyes, and said "quack" with an innocent look on his face.
Ash opened his mouth and was speechless.
Brock shook his head beside him, with a knowing expression on his face.
Delia and Professor Oak just smiled and did not speak for Ash.
Misty was holding two Poké Ball, standing in the middle of the yard, the smile on his face could not be suppressed.
Ash looked at Misty, then at Froakie in his arms, and sighed.
"Froakie, we have to work hard too."
"Quack."
After seeing off two Elite Fours, the day of this Kanto League Conference is coming soon.
The day before departure, Professor Oak came to Lu Chen specifically and asked him if he wanted to be a Sacred Fire runner.
"Sacred Fire runner?"
Lu Chen When I first heard this proposal, I thought it was a bit interesting.
Sacred Fire runners, holding Sacred Fire at the Pokémon League Conference opening ceremony, lit the main torch. This sounds quite ceremonial.
"What kind of fire is Sacred Fire?" Lu Chen asked casually.
"Of course it is the flame of Moltres. This is the flame that has been burning since the establishment of Kanto League until now!"
But just after hearing the flames of Moltres.
Lu Chen's expression faded visibly.
"Moltres's flame..."
Lu Chen typed Yawn, his tone full of boredom:
"Then forget it."
"I thought it was the flame of Ho-Oh."
Professor Oak's mouth twitched, but he wasn't too surprised.
He looked at Gouging Fire lying on the hillside in the distance.
Professor Oak remembered that that night, when facing the super giant Dragonite, how terrifying the power of the flame on Gouging Fire's head was!
As far as Professor Oak knows, the power of this flame is no weaker than the flame of Moltres and the flame of Entei.
Even compared to Gouging Fire, the flames of Moltres are indeed... less mysterious in terms of mystery.
"Okay, I'm just asking casually." Professor Oak pushed up his glasses, turned around and left.
The next day, everyone set out for Indigo Plateau.
Originally Lu Chen planned to let one of Gengar, Aerodactyl or Lapras stay to look after the house.
As a result, the three elves went to Pokémon League Conference upon hearing this, each one more energetic than the other.
Aerodactyl flew down from the top of the mountain, its wings spread wide, for fear that Lu Chen wouldn't be able to see it.
Lapras popped its head out of the river and kept humming.
Gengar came out of the shadows, holding a bottle of Coke, with an expression that said I would make trouble if you don't take me there.
Lu Chen looked at the old man in front of him, whose three eyes were full of expectations, and sighed.
"Okay, okay, go wherever you go."
As for the task of guarding the farm, Lu Chen was finally handed over to Steelix among Viridian Forest.
Let it help, and that Steelix is also very happy
After everything is ready, Lu Chen takes all the elves, together with Professor Oak, Delia, Ash, and Gary.
Head to the location of Kanto League Conference in a mighty manner.
Indigo Plateau.
The venue of Pokémon League Conference is built on an open plateau, with rolling mountains behind it and a clear blue sky overhead.
Countless tents and stalls were set up around the venue, and it was crowded and lively.
The contestants were wearing various costumes and carrying their own elves, with faces full of excitement and nervousness.
The auditorium was filled with tourists and trainer enthusiasts from all over the world, with flags and banners fluttering in the wind.
And Lu Chen and the others came at just the right time.
Not long after I arrived, the opening ceremony of this Kanto League Conference was held on the central high platform.
Pokémon League's senior executives took the stage to speak one after another.
But the content is much the same.
It's nothing more than "Welcome all contestants", "I wish you all good results", "Thank you to the audience for their support" and the like.
Lu Chen stood in the crowd, listened for a while, and then called Yawn.
Lu Chen looked around, everyone was listening carefully, and no one paid attention to him.
So Lu Chen quietly withdrew from the crowd and slipped outside the venue alone.
"Sigh... As expected, no matter which world we are in, leaders are always so boring when they speak."
Although he sneaked out secretly, Lu Chen found that the scenery of Indigo Plateau was really good.
The mountains in the distance are rolling, and the nearby meadows are full of unknown wild flowers.
The air is fresh and the breeze is blowing, which is much more comfortable than being crowded in the venue.
Lu Chen was walking slowly along a path, feeling quite comfortable.
But while Lu Chen was wandering around, he saw a familiar outfit.
Not far ahead, a young man wearing a black and blue cloak and a blue hat was standing on the roadside.
His cloak fluttered gently in the wind, and his hat was pulled low, revealing only half of his face.
Standing next to him is a Lucario, with his hands behind his back and his posture standing straight.
Lu Chen paused for a moment.
He looked at the outfit and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
How many years has it been?
Aura Guardian is still wearing this outfit.
Blue-black cloak and blue hat.
It was the same color tens of thousands of years ago, and it will still be the same color tens of thousands of years later.
"It seems a bit vulgar now." Lu Chen muttered softly.
"And it's summer now. Is it really not hot if you wear a cloak and a hat?"
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head and was about to walk away.
But the cloak Aura Guardian suddenly turned his head.
A pair of clear eyes stared straight at Lu Chen, his brows furrowed slightly.
"This trainer!"
Aaron's voice was not loud, but it was very serious, with a kind of unconvinced attitude unique to young people.
"This dress represents our Aura Guardian's strong and unyielding will to protect our homeland!"
"Not some old-fashioned clothes!"
Hearing the real voice of Aaron! Lu Chen was stunned.
Lu Chen looked at the face in front of him.
The outlines are very similar, and so are the eyebrows.
But he is much younger than that Aura Guardian back then, with softer lines and clearer eyes.
It lacks the accumulation of weathering and has a bit more youthful vigor.
The appearance of an old friend is also the son of an old friend.
