Aura Clan's holy land, it suddenly started raining heavily!

This rain can be said to have come without warning.

One second the sky was clear, and the next second heavy raindrops were falling on the face.

Ash They were chatting with Aaron in the yard when they were caught off guard by the rain.

"Why did it suddenly rain?" Ash held his head and ran under the eaves.

Aaron wiped some water from his face, looked up at the sky, and looked a little confused. "

That's not right...Aura Clan's holy land is isolated from the rest of the world, and the climate has always been stable. In theory, it is impossible for a sudden heavy rain to occur."

Under the eaves, the old patriarch was leaning on a cane and looking at the sky.

The rain curtain blurred the old man's vision, and his lips moved and let out a long sigh.

"It's raining."

There was some indescribable emotion in that voice, like emotion and understanding.

Ash wiped his wet face and ran into the house without forgetting to look back for Lu Chen:

"Where is brother Lu Chen? Did he get wet?"

Gary leaned against the window, folded his hands across his chest, and said with a natural certainty in his tone:

"Don't worry, with Brother Lu Chen's strength, there's no way a rain of this magnitude can catch him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gary glanced across the window unintentionally, and the curve of his mouth froze instantly.

In the courtyard where the heavy rain was pouring, a figure was walking alone in the rain.

I didn't hold an umbrella or use any Pokémon skills to protect myself from the rain, I just walked step by step.

Rain dripped down his black hair, and his whole body looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

And that person is Lu Chen!

"..."

Gary was silent.

The slap in the face came too quickly.

Ash also saw it, opened his mouth, but didn't have time to speak.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew beside me. When I looked carefully, it turned out that Aaron had rushed out.

"Master Lu Chen! Why are you caught in the rain?"

Aaron's voice Infiltrator rained with undisguised anxiety and distress.

"If you don't have an umbrella, tell me!"

Lu Chen was half pulled and half dragged back to the house by Aaron.

At this time, Lu Chen was soaked to the skin, her black hair was stuck to her forehead, and water drops were dripping down along her jawline.

Aaron took out a towel from somewhere and handed it over, but Lu Chen didn't take it.

Lu Chen was sitting on the chair, looking relieved, sad, and even more depressed.

This is the first time Ash and the others have seen Master Lu Chen, who has always been omnipotent and capable of doing anything with ease, in such a state.

"Master Lu Chen? What are you..."

Ash just wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

On the other side, Aaron was standing with his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Although Aaron probably knew the reason, Aaron did not choose to speak.

After all, if Master Lu Chen is unwilling to say these things, then Aaron feels that he is not qualified to say it.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly darkened.

The silence lasted for about ten seconds.

Lu Chen suddenly stood up.

Then Lu Chen took out a Poké Ball from his waist and tossed it gently.

"Come out Lapras."

White light flashed, and Lapras's huge body covered with scars appeared gracefully in the room.

Fortunately, the building of the Aura Clan is spacious enough, otherwise it would not be able to fit it.

"Help me blow dry." Lu Chen said.

Lapras nodded quietly, opened his mouth, and a stream of warm air accurately enveloped Lu Chen's whole body.

The water vapor began to rise, and almost instantly, his clothes and hair were completely dry.

The whole process went smoothly.

Lu Chen raised his head and looked at Ash and Gary, with a somewhat casual smile on his lips:

"Okay, it's just a small thing."

Looking at Ash and their worried eyes, Lu Chen paused and explained.

"I went to visit the grave of an old friend, and I just felt a little emotional."

As he said this, Lu Chen himself smiled mockingly.

I can't help but feel a little emotional in my heart.

Obviously in super ancient times, countless friends and comrades died.

At that time, there was no time to grieve. He put away the bones, picked up weapons, and continued to fight.

Now he is so fragile.

Sure enough, a comfortable environment is not always a good thing.

Once people have some breathing space, those suppressed things will quietly emerge.

"Dead friends..."

Ash murmured and repeated these words.

Gary said nothing.

Brock lowered his head, Misty pursed his lips.

Although in the world of Pokémon, they are already trainers who can travel.

But in essence Ash they are still children, and the distance between them is indeed a bit far when it comes to the topic of life, separation and death.

The house was so quiet that I could hear the rain outside the window.

Several children's heads were lowered, and no one spoke.

Lu Chen looked at their appearance, smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, everyone is going to die, don't be so sad, just do whatever you have to do."

At this time, Lu Chen's tone was particularly relaxed.

"You have to remember one thing."

"The meaning of the dead is given by the living."

"If you are immersed in grief and cannot get out of it, that would be disrespectful to the deceased."

He patted Ash on the shoulder.

"And this friend of mine has been dead for many years."

Ash They nodded in confusion, half understanding, but they all felt that what Lu Chen said made sense.

Only Aaron lowered his head, muttering and repeating those words.

"The meaning of the dead is given by the living..."

And when Aaron looked at Lu Chen again, the respect in his eyes almost overflowed.

At this time, Aaron couldn't help but think crazily in his heart

"As expected of Master First Aura Guardian! This explanation of life and death is so good!"

"It can cheer people up without making them forget the deceased!"

Lu Chen looked around the village, and finally his eyes fell on Aaron:

"By the way, Aaron."

"If I guess correctly, the holy land of the Aura Clan was built here not just to protect the tomb, right?"

"This..."

Aaron Before he had time to answer, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

At this time, the old patriarch of the Aura Clan walked into the house with the support of his clan members.

At this time, the old patriarch's clothes were still dripping, but his waist was straight.

"Yes, Master." The old patriarch's voice was particularly clear in the heavy rain.

"We are not only protecting the first generation of heroes, we are also protecting Tree of Beginning."

"This is our mission at the Aura Clan."

Lu Chen nodded.

The old patriarch paused and continued:

"But, in fact, we, Aura Clan, are not the only ones in our lineage."

"The royal family separated from us many years ago, and they should still be holding on to the Cameran Palace."

Cameran Palace?!

Lu Chen was suddenly in a trance when he heard this name.
