My Name is Lucario

The morning sun was warm and gentle, shining through the window of the Pokémon Center onto the face of Riolu, who was sleeping on the bed.

"Ah, I slept so well!"

After waking up, Rio stretched unconsciously and carefully observed his body. He found that all the scars on his body, big or small, had healed, and the fatigue caused by over-controlling the wave energy before had disappeared completely. He was full of energy at this time, and felt that there were countless powers in his body that he wanted to use.

"After fighting so many times, the level should have risen by a few levels, right?"

In the previous fierce battles, the opponents were basically higher than his own level, and not just one or two levels higher, but a difference of more than ten or twenty levels. Moreover, they were all Pokémons that had evolved to their final forms. It should be noted that the racial values ​​of evolved Pokémons are basically higher than those of non-evolved Pokémons. Leo, the Pokémon in the initial form of Riolu, was really under great pressure.

It was like I was scratching others, and others were hitting me like a hammer.

"Alas, I wish I could evolve into Lucario earlier." Leo sighed and opened the light curtain to check his [status].

"Hmm? What is this??"

Leo opened his mouth when he saw his own data on the screen.

His level had risen from Lv13 to Lv16, a leap of three levels. Several familiar moves had been upgraded by gaining experience in battle, especially the two Lv2 moves. According to Leo's knowledge, it was extremely rare for Pokémon to have Lv2 moves before reaching level 20. This not only meant that Leo could use these moves with ease, but also that these moves had played a significant role in battle.

Recalling the previous use of [Lightning Flash] and [See Through] to fight against the elite Gyarados and the leader Pidgeot, who were higher in level than him, it was reasonable for him to be upgraded to Lv2.

However, whether it was the level increase or the sublimation of the moves, these were secondary. What Leo didn't expect was that there were several new pieces of information in the [Status] panel.

"What does this 'half-waveguide state' and this evaluation mean? Does it mean that I can still see the waveguide energy now? Will there be a 'full-waveguide state' or 'waveguide messenger state' later?"

Leo thought. In his eyes, he could still see the blue waves emanating from his hands, but in the eyes of other elves or humans, Leo still had no change, as if only he could see this wave.

"That's not right. In the animations I watched before, those waveguide messengers were all glowing blue when using waveguides, and they could also roll balls. Why can't I only see it but not use it?"

In addition to the new entries after the name, Leo also found that his special attack value was almost catching up with his physical attack value, which is a rare situation for fighting elves like Riolu who are good at speed and physical attack.

"For special attacks, if I know those moves like [Flame Jet], [100,000 Volts], [High Pressure Water Cannon], etc., it would be really wonderful. I can start with long-range special attacks, fight at close range, and dodge quickly. I am really invincible."

"It's a pity that Riolu doesn't have any special attacks... But what is this question mark move? How did it reach Lv1 for no reason? It's higher than the [Dig Hole] I use to escape?"

"And this pendant..."

When Riolu was just born, he already realized that he was carrying such an unknown pendant. He racked his brains but couldn't think of any props in the elf world that looked like this azure pendant. He didn't care about the source of this pendant anymore. It was just that when he was fighting with the leader of Pidgeot before, when he suddenly sensed the waveguide, he found that the flashing light of this pendant was the same as the light of those waveguides.The mane was almost the same, and there was also a mysterious voice that made him feel warm, guiding him to control the wave energy to appease the crazy Pidgeot leader.

Leo sat cross-legged on the hospital bed. He felt that as he became more and more integrated into this elf world, some mysteries about himself gradually surfaced.

Was it a coincidence that he traveled to this world? A human who loves fighting happened to travel to an elf who is best at fighting?

"Squeak", the door of the treatment room was pushed open, interrupting Leo's thoughts.

"Clang clang clang--"

Jilin, who walked in unsteadily with a cart, saw Leo wake up and smiled gently: "Ah, you're awake, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long, come, eat something first."

There was a tray on the cart with a glass of milk and a few pieces of bread. It is worth mentioning that elves can also eat ordinary food made by humans, which can fill their stomachs and restore their physical strength.

"Thank you."

The sweet taste of bread and the rich taste of milk whetted Leo's appetite, and he quickly ate all the food.

Seeing Leo squinting his eyes as if enjoying the delicious food, Jigglypuff clapped his hands happily. After Leo finished his breakfast, she carefully cleaned up the plate, hummed softly, and pushed the cart away.

"I've rested enough, so the next step is to go to Takuma's house and try to get back to the forest."

Leo jumped off the bed and returned to the lobby of the Pokémon Center from the treatment room. There was no one in the Pokémon Center at this time, only Miss Joy who was busy cleaning up at the counter.

"Ah, you're awake, go ahead, remember not to get yourself covered in wounds again." Miss Joy stopped what she was doing, touched Leo's furry head, and said with a smile after noticing Leo coming out of the Pokémon Center.

"..."

Leo scratched his head. At this moment, he didn't want to reveal that he had a translation machine that could communicate with humans, so he could only bow to express his gratitude.

Miss Joy smiled and turned around to continue sorting out the sundries.

"Swish", the glass door of the Elf Center opened and closed automatically.

Chubai Town was surrounded by lush greenery, and the fresh air in the morning refreshed Leo.

The town was not big, so Leo soon arrived at the door of the white-roofed research institute.

"Ding Dong--"

"I'm here."

Not long after Leo rang the doorbell, Takuma's voice came from behind the door.

But when Takuma opened the door, Leo was startled by his haggard and worried look.

"Takuma, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Oh no, my parents are missing. I searched the whole house but couldn't find them. I don't know where they went?" Takuma was worried.

"Don't worry, maybe your parents are just out and haven't come back yet. Didn't you find any messages or something?"

"The problem is that I just checked the surveillance and found that the data of the entry and exit records stopped a few weeks ago, which means that they haven't returned here in the past few weeks."

"Have you asked the neighbors nearby? Maybe they might notice your parents' whereabouts?" Leo reminded.

"Ah, I'll ask now!"

Takuma woke up instantly and ran out in a hurry.

Although Takuma gave Leo the impression of a sunny and cheerful personality and mature "little adult" before, he still showed the panic of a child when he encountered the big event of his parents disappearing.

"Kidnapped children, test bases in the forest, kidnapped men in black..."

Indistinctly, several clues emerged in Leo's mind, and he had an inexplicable guess.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Facing the open door in front of him, Leo felt that he should be able to find some clues.

"Excuse me."

Following the usual practice, Leo called out politely before entering the door.

...

At this time in the Chaoyang Valley.

"...This is what happened."

Wrist Strength found the Squirtle boss who was teaching other water-type Pokémons moves by the pond, and recounted his and Leo's experiences in Crescent Lake and Sky Nest.

"Sure enough, your previous premonition was correct, there is a feeling in the forest now that makes me very uneasy. We must prepare as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when things break out."

Wrist Strength expressed his concerns.

The goldfish who seemed to understand what was happening next to him blew bubbles and asked timidly: "Boss, are we leaving here?"

The tadpoles, who were very naughty and noisy in the past, seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere and became quiet, but the one behind himThe swaying tail indicated his uneasiness.

"Don't worry." Squirtle smiled gently and reached out to touch the head of the goldfish. "I will protect you. This is our home. How can we give up easily? Besides, who do you think I am?"

After that, Squirtle even exaggeratedly showed off his biceps, but the hands of turtle-shaped elves were relatively short. Combined with Squirtle's slightly funny posture, the elves next to him laughed.

"Yeah, we believe in the boss! After all, you are the strongest elf!"

The goldfish was young after all. Seeing the calm expression on his leader's face, he was relieved and happily turned in circles in the water.

"The boss is our strongest elf!"

The tadpole yelled. He finally kept quiet for a while and couldn't help laughing and chasing the goldfish.

The other Squirtles also patted their heads in a naive way. As members of their own species, they knew the strength of Boss Squirtle and relaxed their hearts.

Seeing the elves regain their liveliness, Boss Squirtle gave a look to Armstrong, and the two elves left one after the other.

Along the way, the elves in the valley smiled and greeted Boss Squirtle. Some young and naughty elves even acted like a spoiled child around Boss Squirtle for a long time before returning to their own residence amid the teasing of their companions.

"Boss, although I have not been here for a long time, you are really loved by the elves in the valley."

Armstrong followed Boss Squirtle and looked at this warm and happy scene, and couldn't help but sighed.

"Really?"

Boss Squirtle smiled, but his eyes under the sunglasses had an inexplicable look.

"Fate may not favor all elves, but I can give them my love and trust."

Boss Squirtle said something that Armstrong didn't quite understand.

The two elves walked to a high ground and looked around the entire valley.

The Tyrannosaurus, who was originally leading the grass and insect elves to trim the grass and flower beds, and the Scyther, who was stationed at the entrance of the valley, also hurried over.

"Get ready. According to the information from Armstrong and Leo, there will probably be a big turmoil next."

Boss Squirtle and other elves began to discuss.

Finally, the three most powerful elves in Chaoyang Valley began to act and make arrangements.

Only Boss Squirtle remained in place, looking at Chaoyang Valley, which was full of traces of life, and the elves living in it.

"I will not abandon them. I will do my best to protect them. I will protect this place of survival that I have finally got!" Boss Squirtle looked determinedly and looked into the distance through translucent sunglasses.

Even if it costs me my life.

He added silently in his heart.
