After the day's audition battle ended.
Gary is sitting on the hotel bed, alone.
"What a disastrous defeat. It is indeed the genuine Aura Guardian. It is just different from the guy Ash who became a monk halfway."
Gary was sitting on the bed, muttering to himself, feeling that he had not yet recovered from the fiasco of the day.
Everyone looked dumb.
However, although Gary was emotionally sluggish at this time, Gary did not forget about business.
Gary still remembers what Aaron said after the battle.
"Go back and tell Lu Chen to wait for me."
That Aura Guardian named Aaron seems to have a grudge against the elder brother Lu Chen.
"You still have to tell Brother Lu Chen about this matter."
Gary took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Professor Oak's number.
"Grandpa, help me contact brother Lu Chen. There are some things I want to tell him in person."
Half an hour later, Lu Chen arrived at the hotel.
Professor Oak and Delia were standing in the corridor waiting.
Delia was holding a bag of snacks just bought from the food court in his hand, with a bit of worry on his face.
Professor Oak was pacing back and forth, taking off his glasses and wiping them again and again.
"Lu Chen, you're here." Professor Oak greeted him.
"Gary is inside, he said that Aura Guardian Aaron..."
"I understand."
Lu Chen nodded, then opened the door and walked in.
In the room, Gary was sitting by the bed. When he saw Lu Chen coming in, he stood up.
"Lu Chen brother."
At this time, Gary's voice was a little hoarse, but it was much calmer than before.
The expression on his face has also returned to his usual look. Although he is still a little tired, most of the decadent energy has dissipated.
"Do you recognize the Aura Guardian named Aaron?"
Gary said straight to the point
"Aaron? I guess we know each other." Lu Chen said, touching his chin.
"I met that Aaron in the audition today. After the battle, he asked me to give you a message."
Lu Chen Hearing Gary's description, he suddenly became interested.
"What words?"
"He said that if you wait, he will definitely defeat you and seek justice for the trainers who were teased by you."
Gary repeated it word for word, and then looked at Lu Chen's expression.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.
"The trainer I teased?"
Lu Chen heard what Gary said, touched his chin, frowned slightly, and was a little confused for a moment.
This Aaron was quite normal when we last met. Although he was a bit arrogant as a teenager, he didn't suddenly become like this.
"What else did he say?"
"He said... he knew your secret."
Gary paused and added:
"He also said that you and I are from the same place, and Pallet Town people are all like this."
Lu Chen's brows furrowed even more.
Know my secret?
There is probably only one person who can be considered a secret within himself.
That is what he traveled through from super ancient times.
But only a handful of people know this secret.
Professor Oak knows, Delia knows, even Ash Gary they don't know.
Aaron, a Aura Guardian from Sinnoh Region, how could he possibly know this?
Lu Chen thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.
Then Lu Chen suddenly remembered another thing.
That day in the woods, when Lu Chen asked Zorua to change back to his original form, he seemed to feel someone snooping nearby.
At that time Lu Chen didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just Wild Pokémon or a trainer passing by.
But if that person is Aaron...
"Is it because of this?"
Lu Chen's mouth twitched.
That kid used Aura to cover up his aura and peeped in the dark?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly understood.
Aaron He saw Zorua transform into himself and play games for him.
But no matter what Lu Chen thinks, it's not a big deal.
In ultra-ancient times, who cares how you win?
If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose. The process is not important, the result is everything.
Letting the elves take the field for you was just the most common tactical arrangement in super ancient times.
But although this kind of thing is a common method for Lu Chen.
But the author obviously doesn't think so about Aaron.
A teenage boy, who has received the traditional education of the Aura Clan since childhood, values the honor and pride of his trainer more than anything else.
Of course you will feel insulted when you see someone letting an elf look like you to fight on your behalf.
Lu Chen figured this out and shook his head helplessly.
"This kid is really a fool."
Gary looked at Lu Chen's reaction and asked with some uncertainty:
"Brother Lu Chen, aren't you angry?"
"Angry?" Lu Chen glanced at him.
"What's there to be angry about? He just doesn't like what I'm doing. It's not a deep grudge."
But at this time, Lu Chen paused and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"But since he said he wanted to defeat me in front of the entire audience, I'm embarrassed not to respond."
Gary looked at the smile on Lu Chen's face and felt a slight chill on his back.
"Okay, you have a good rest." Lu Chen patted Gary on the shoulder.
"Although you lost one audition, you should still be able to make the cut. Play well in the main competition."
Gary nodded.
"Don't worry, brother Lu Chen, I will work hard!"
The competition format of Pokémon League Conference this time is that all players who have won eight Badge will first participate in four rounds of auditions.
The 22 players who have won all four games will advance. For the remaining ten spots, the players who have defeated more elves than their opponents will be selected from among those who have three wins and one loss to advance to the main round.
The main match is a 32-person elimination round. The most important thing is that the main match is not a small venue competition.
It is a real game on the Pokémon League Conference field!
After seeing that Gary was fine, Lu Chen turned around and walked out of the room.
Professor Oak and Delia were still waiting in the corridor. When they saw him coming out, Professor Oak asked quickly:
"How is it?"
"It's okay." Lu Chen waved his hand.
"It's not an enemy, he's just a kid who can't stand what I do. Don't take it too seriously."
Professor Oak breathed a sigh of relief.
Delia handed over the snack bag in his hand:
"Mr. Lu Chen, I bought this for you and the elves."
Lu Chen took it and smiled at Delia, "Thank you, you are really thoughtful."
At this time, Professor Oak was carefully posted at the door of the room, looking at Gary in the hotel room with a worried look.
"Gary This kid has always been very proud. I wonder if this disastrous defeat will shock him?"
The hotel room at this time, after Lu Chen walked out of the room.
Gary The lights were not turned on, the curtains were drawn, and there was only a ray of light coming from under the door.
He lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.
Blastoise is recovering in the therapeutic device of Pokémon Center, and its Poké Ball is on the bedside table. It is the old friend who only accompanied him all the way.
Arcanine is also resting in the next room.
None of the three elves could defeat Lucario from Aaron.
"Damn it!"
Gary slammed the bed board, and his fist sank into the quilt, making a dull sound.
"Waste! Gary You waste! You can't even defeat another elf!"
