Cameran Palace.
This name is like a key, accurately opening a door deep in Lu Chen's memory.
Hearing this name again after an unknown number of years and time, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel in a trance.
At this time, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure seemed to appear in front of Lu Chen's eyes.
Wearing a crown and a robe, his eyes are firm and gentle.
It was the Queen Cameran Palace back then.
"Cameran Palace..."
Lu Chen sighed, looked at the old patriarch, and said sincerely:
"Thank you for informing me. I will take a look when I have the chance."
The old patriarch waved his hands, looked serious, and said solemnly:
"This is what we, the younger generations, should do."
At this moment, the sound of rain outside the window suddenly stopped.
The dark clouds seemed to be torn apart from the middle, and the sun poured down.
The sky is as blue as a wash, and a rainbow stretches across the sky, which is incredibly beautiful.
Lu Chen looked at the old patriarch and Aaron with a gentle tone:
"Sorry, I also made an appointment with a friend at Hoenn Region."
"I will come to visit you next time I have a chance."
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Aaron originally wanted to dissuade her, but at this time.
The white-haired old patriarch on the side lowered his head respectfully and said in a calm and solemn voice:
"I wish you a prosperous and prosperous journey Tailwind."
Then the old patriarch raised his head, his eyes burning.
"Aura Holy Land and I, as well as the two hundred and eighteen clan members, will always be waiting for your return."
Gary and Ash stood behind, their mouths open enough to fit a whole Poké Ball.
Wait.
The gray-haired old patriarch.
Called Lu Chen? Master?
So their brother Lu Chen, who looks to be in his early twenties, is the kind of person who has lived for hundreds of years?!
The two of them looked at each other, and both saw the confusion of "Am I dreaming?" in each other's eyes.
Is there something wrong with their understanding?
Lu Chen looked normal, turned to look at Ash and the others and said:
"I'm planning to leave here, what about you?"
"I want to leave too!" Ash immediately raised his hands, as if he was afraid of being left behind if he was a step too late.
Aaron subconsciously wanted to ask to stay.
After all, Ash is the natural Aura Guardian, a good seedling that is rare to see in a century.
But the old patriarch stretched out his hand to stop him.
The old patriarch looked at Aaron with far-reaching eyes:
"Okay, let this Aura Guardian stay with Master."
"What we can teach, Master can also teach."
Aaron was stunned for a moment, showed an expression of sudden realization, and then nodded seriously.
"Yes."
Just like this, after bidding farewell to the old patriarch and Aaron,
Lu Chen and Ash bid farewell to the Aura Clan's holy land.
A rainbow hangs in the sky, my footsteps step on the wet soil, behind me are the villages fading away, and in front of me is a long road.
Ash was walking next to Lu Chen. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Lu Chen, um... how old are you?"
Lu Chen paused, turned his head and glanced at him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Guess."
Ash:"..."
It's over. At this time, Ash is even more confused.
And just after walking out of the Aura Clan Holy Land, Ash and the others looked back, and then they were all stunned.
The villages, houses, and ancestral halls that were standing there just a moment ago are all gone.
There was only a lush forest left, as if there had never been any buildings there.
"Disappeared... disappeared?"
Ash rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again.
Misty murmured:
"Did we really go in just now? Why does it feel like a dream?"
Brock also expressed emotion. "What a wonderful fate."
Lu Chen walked in front without looking back:
"Stop looking. I can't see the flowers anymore. Let's go."
Ash caught up with him, raised his head and asked:
"Lu Chen Brother, where are we going now?"
Lu Chen took out his phone, quickly tapped the screen twice with his fingers, and sent out two messages.
Then he put the phone back into his pocket and said in a tone of voice.
"Let's go to a nearby city first."
"I made an appointment with a friend online and waited for him to come find us."
"Friend?" Ash's eyes lit up.
"What kind of friend? Are you awesome?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and answered seriously, "It's quite rich."
"... That's it?"
"That's it."
The group came to the nearest city and entered Pokémon Center.
Nurse Joy served them curry rice enthusiastically.
Pokémon Center provides free curry rice. The taste is amazing.
But for Ash, who has been on the road for a long time, this is the delicacy of the world.
"Hmm! I didn't expect Hoenn Region's curry rice to be so delicious!"
"I want another bowl!"
Ash slurped rice into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a Snorlax.
"Lu Chen brother."
Ash asked vaguely while chewing.
"Who are we waiting for?"
Gary poked a piece of potato elegantly with a fork, seemingly nonchalantly, but his ears stood up high.
Misty took a sip of the drink from the cup, but his eyes glanced over to Lu Chen from time to time.
Lu Chen took a bite of curry calmly and commented unhurriedly:
"In this curry, the carrots are not soft enough."
"..."
Ash almost chewed the plate.
"Lu Chen brother!"
"You'll find out later."
Lu Chen raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said.
"What's the rush?"
Ash pursed his lips.
At this moment, the automatic door of Pokémon Center opened with a "swish" sound.
A figure walked in quickly.
The person who came here was tall and tall, with neatly combed light blue hair. The suit he wore was well-tailored, and he looked like he was worth a lot of money.
He exuded the aura of a wealthy man, and with that face, he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the door.
He looked around, his eyes Lock-On were on Lu Chen, and then he walked quickly.
"Are you Mr. Lu Chen?" The visitor bowed slightly, with a sincere apology in his tone.
"I'm really sorry. I was just doing business and was late."
The voice is gentle and polite, and the manner is elegant and decent.
Ash They all turned around.
The next second, Gary dropped the fork in his hand.
Brock's spoon hit the plate with a clang.
Misty's cup is almost Crush Grip.
The three of them stood up in unison, like three springs springing up at the same time.
"You! Are you -" Gary's voice changed its tone in a rare way, and his tongue seemed to be tied in a knot.
Brock opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
Misty took a deep breath and finally squeezed out those three words: "Hoenn Champion?! Steven?!"
Standing in front of them was indeed the legendary Hoenn champion, Stone·Steven.
Hoenn Region's strongest trainer.
Devon Corporation is the sole heir.
The noblest among the nobles, the richest among the rich.
"Hoenn Champion?!"
Ash's voice was louder than the three of them combined, and everyone in Pokémon Center turned their heads to look over.
