"So this is the Flower of Time. According to legend, only the Waveguide Messenger can activate the Flower of Time and use it to see scenes from the past."
After getting Lucario's reply, Xiaosheng, the little science boy, was obviously unable to walk. He took out a drawing board from his back and began to write furiously. It seemed that he had learned a lot from Xiaojian and was drawing sketches.
"The Flower of Time, maybe it has something to do with Celebi and Dialga."
Xiaogang felt a little emotional when looking at the flower of time. His thoughts began to diverge and he started to think about the origin of the flower of time.
"It should be Celebi. After all, this is the World Tree, a collection of waveguides. Dialga is on Arceus' side, so he should prefer the power of Overpower."
Gongsun Yan, an engineering student, also started brainstorming and pondered the origin of the flower of time.
Chapter 190 Communication between Warriors
"This world really treats the Wave Warriors well!" Qiduo, who was standing by, also shared her feelings after hearing what Gongsun Yan said.
“But this kind of preferential treatment can be considered a punishment in a sense. Being able to see scenes from the past can sometimes be quite cruel.” Gongsun Yan shook his head and said.
Gongsun Yan obviously has different opinions from Qiduo, which is also related to their life experiences and occupations. The gap between people is also reflected in these things.
"Knowing too much is not a good thing. In many cases, the more you know, the more troubles you have." Gongsun Yan said ambiguously.
As the top explorer in the alliance, Qiduo always has an inexplicable thirst for knowledge about unknown things, which is also the most important quality for an explorer to possess, otherwise he will only be a third-rate explorer.
Looking at explorers in all the worlds, they are all guys with a suicidal spirit, just like a certain funny guy named Zhuo, he has really naughty hands and wants to touch everything he sees.
Qiduo obviously also has such a tendency. Although Gongsun Yan expressed his understanding, he did not agree with this idea. He always believed that people only need to know what they should know. The curse of knowledge is not something that is so easy to overcome.
Some things are too dark, and knowing too much is not a good thing for ordinary people. Not everyone is Bruce Wayne. They cannot bear so many dark realities, and their happiness will be over.
Otherwise, the master in the comics would not have developed artificial intelligence. It was because none of the clones could carry his memories. Ignorance may be an original sin, but an excessive desire for knowledge is greed, and greed is also an original sin.
If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. This is a saying that is more in line with Gongsun Yan's thoughts. However, if you want to achieve this, you may need a communist society...
"Let's say it's a very simple possibility. If a wave hero only opened ten flowers of time in his life, and they all contained content about betrayal, then would that wave hero still be able to maintain his original heart? This is a question mark."
Seeing that Qi Duo wanted to argue with him, Gongsun Yan directly threw out his own thoughts, which choked Qi Duo, because this question was a sophistry question and it was almost impossible to give a perfect answer.
"...Then what do you say we should do? Xiaozhi is now a wave hero. He will definitely encounter the flower of time on this journey. What if Xiaozhi encounters those bad things?"
Qi Duo obviously couldn't answer what Gongsun Yan said, so she did the opposite and started asking Gongsun Yan back questions.
"It's very simple, just stop him."
Gongsun Yan looked at Qi Duo with an expression that said, "Are you an idiot?" and said with great disdain.
"Oh, then you might be too late now, Xiaozhi has already gone up."
Qi Duo didn't care about Gongsun Yan's expression. Instead, she showed a very strange smile, as if she was suppressing something, and just pointed in the direction of the cliff.
"Xiaozhi!!! Lee Jae-gan the God and Devil!"
Seeing Qiduo's appearance, Gongsun Yan had a very bad premonition. As a result, when he looked up, he saw that Xiaozhi had indeed jumped to the top of the cliff and could reach the flower of time above the cliff with just one hand.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Xiaozhi was obviously startled by Gongsun Yan's voice and turned his head in confusion. However, Xiaozhi had an advantage which was not really an advantage. There was a certain delay between his body and brain, and his actions were always one step faster than his thoughts.
"brush!"
As Xiaozhi's right hand touched the flower of time, the flower of time suddenly became brighter, and the originally closed bud gradually bloomed, and the picture stored in it also appeared in front of everyone.
"kill!!!"
"Roar!!!"
Before the picture was fully unfolded, roars were heard first. Countless humans and Pokémon collided with each other. Both Pokémon and humans were wearing heavy armor and looked murderous.
"Lu! (Stop it!)"
Seeing this scene, Gongsun Yan and others had not yet reacted, but Lucario took the lead and attacked. Wave missiles appeared in his hands and shot towards the center of the battlefield.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
But the picture now was just the remnant of time remaining in the flower of time, just a bunch of phantoms. The wave missiles went straight through the phantoms, creating big holes on the ground one after another.
With Lucario's intelligence, after seeing this situation, he should be able to realize that this is just an illusion, and no matter how he attacks, it will be useless.
But having said that, don't forget that Lucario has not yet recovered from the changes that happened a thousand years ago. He still puts stopping the war first, so he has no intention of stopping and continues to concentrate wave missiles there.
"Lucario, stop!"
Seeing that Lucario had gone crazy, Xiaozhi immediately became anxious. In desperation, he jumped directly from the cliff, just blocking Lucario.
"Lu! (Don't stop me!)"
Lucario, who was in a frenzy, obviously didn't listen to Xiaozhi's attempts to stop him. All he wanted now was to stop the war in front of him. This was one of his life creeds until now.
"No, this happened in the past, stop it now!"
"Lu! (Get out of the way, or I'll beat you too!)"
"Don't joke around, I will stop you even if it costs my life!"
"Lu! (Come on!)"
Seeing that Lucario could no longer communicate normally, Xiaozhi gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and rushed directly towards Lucario, wrestling with him. Since words can't stop you, use your fists!
"Uh, it's already started?"
Qiduo obviously couldn't understand the train of thought of these hot-blooded idiots. She didn't know why they started fighting. Weren't they still in the stage of language negotiation?
"Don't be surprised, this is Xiaozhi." Gongsun Yan patted Qiduo's shoulder kindly and comforted her reluctantly.
Except for Qiduo, everyone else present, including Pikachu standing next to them, felt that the scene before them was very normal. If one day Xiaozhi learned to use his brain for everything, the world would probably be doomed.
A real man should make friends with his fists. Friendship between men is forged through fighting. Without fighting, there is no acquaintance. Xiaozhi and Lucario are both top fighters, and they can understand each other's thoughts from each other's fists.
Chapter 191: Until Death
"Lucario, calm down!"
Xiaozhi punched Lucario and knocked him to the ground. But just when he was about to rush forward to pursue the victory, Lucario did a flying move and both he and Xiaozhi fell into the stream, splashing a lot of waves.
"This... isn't a bit abnormal?"
Qiduo looked at the scene in front of her. Even though she had been exploring outside for many years and was knowledgeable, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze. She had seen trainers who could fight with Pokémon, but this was the first time she had seen one who could suppress Pokémon.
"Calm down, this is just basic stuff, don't be silly."
Gongsun Yan didn't seem anxious at all. Instead, he was enjoying the battle between humans and Pokémon. If he hadn't emptied the snacks in his backpack before, he would have grabbed a bucket of popcorn by now.
"No, is it really okay to continue like this? The wave missiles are out!"
Qiduo obviously did not have as good a psychological quality as Gongsun Yan. After the fight between Xiaozhi and Lucario escalated, she became restless and wanted to go up and stop the other party.
"Hey, don't go up there. With your weak constitution, you will only die if you go up there. All we can do now is to slightly change positions. Come on, come on, everyone, follow me."
Gongsun Yan skillfully led everyone to change the direction to watch the show, which confused everyone. Since they were all here to watch the show, why should they change seats?
"Alas, stupid humans. They have never figured out the reason why they lose on the left side of the ball since ancient times." Gongsun Yan silently complained in his heart.
That's right, at this time, Xiaozhi and Lucario were constantly fighting each other. Gongsun Yan specially changed his position to ensure that Xiaozhi was on their right side, giving him a winning buff.
"boom!"
The result was not unexpected to Gongsun Yan. It was not known whether it was because Xiaozhi's wave guide was too amazing, or Lucario finally woke up and reduced the output of the wave guide. Anyway, the final result was that Lucario was knocked away.
"..." Qiduo was petrified when she saw this scene. Everything in front of her was impacting her worldview of the past twenty years.
"I know what you want to say. Fortunately, the league abolished the wild fighting rules. Otherwise, as long as Xiaozhi participated in the competition, the champion would be announced directly. Who can beat this humanoid Pokémon?"
Gongsun Yan sighed. Xiaozhi was really sinful. He always impacted other people's worldviews, but he himself was not even aware of it.
"Alright Ash, stop it, Lucario has woken up."
After knocking Lucario away, Xiaozhi didn't even look at it, but immediately took out another wave missile in his hand and aimed it at Lucario.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yan shouted hurriedly, asking Xiaozhi to stop. If he knocked Lucario out now, would he still need Lucario's help later? The World Tree would not be satisfied so easily.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi was still conscious and did not get into a real fight with Lucario. After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, he immediately dispersed the wave missiles and hurried over to check on Lucario's condition.
"Oh, really, we just came in and there was a fight." Gongsun Yan shook his head and said with some regret.
"Lucario, are you okay? I'll heal you now." Xiaozhi ran over and helped Lucario up. A blue wave appeared on his right hand, ready to press on Lucario's body.
"Xiaozhi, don't waste your wave guide to heal. It will be very useful later. Use this medicine instead."
Gongsun Yan, who was still sighing there, saw Xiaozhi's actions, and hurried over to stop him. He took out a bottle of medicine from his backpack and stuffed it into Xiaozhi's hand.
"...Xiaozhi, if it were you, would you abandon your Pikachu if you were in danger?"
Lucario was lying on the ground receiving treatment from Xiaozhi. After being silent for a while, he suddenly asked.
"Ah? Of course not. Pikachu is one of my best friends. I won't abandon him. Not only him, but I won't abandon any of my Pokémon now!"
After hearing Lucario's question, Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, but immediately answered the other party firmly, and his eyes were very clear, no matter how Lucario looked at him, he could not see any flaws.
At this moment, Xiaozhi suddenly recalled his Barbuteo. When Barbuteo was still a Metapod, Xiaozhi abandoned him out of fear and felt deeply regretful afterwards.
Although Xiaozhi later gained the forgiveness of Metapod through his own efforts, and Metapod also successfully evolved into Butterfree, the ending can be said to be a happy one for everyone.
But Xiaozhi has always kept this incident in mind and would bring it up from time to time to remind himself to make sure he doesn't make this mistake again.
"Oh...Is that so? I see."
Lucario slowly closed his eyes, a crystal tear slid down from the corner of his eye. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell down directly, but there was still a slight gap. It was obvious that Lucario's heart had not been completely relieved.
"Alas, after all, Lucario must see the flower of time. If Lucario doesn't see it with his own eyes, he will never completely forgive Aaron."
Gongsun Yan, who was hiding aside, also sighed. Xiaozhi's answer just now obviously gave Lucario a reassurance. After all, Xiaozhi was the reincarnation of Aaron, and the two of them might have the same personality.
Lucario had already made it clear to Ash about his intentions from his fist, and the question just now was just a formality.
But there is a problem here. After all, Satoshi and Alan are not the same person. Just because Satoshi will not abandon his Pokémon, it does not mean that Alan will not abandon his Pokémon.
Although Gongsun Yan knew that Aaron and Xiaozhi were both "fools" who would give everything for their Pokémon, even at the cost of their own lives.
In "I Choose You!", when facing many rampaging Pokémon, Xiaozhi did not hesitate to use his body to block Pikachu, buying time for Pikachu to enter the Poké Ball.
That was the first time Pikachu entered the Poké Ball, and probably the only time. But when Pikachu picked up the only remaining hat of Ash, it was so tearful that even a tough guy like Gongsun Yan couldn't hold back his tears.
So Xiaozhi never said empty words. When the crisis came, he would never abandon his Pokémon until his death, even if the price was his life.
ps: Well, I have been reviewing the last chapter until now, and I just exclaimed, “Wow!”
Chapter 192: Arceus, this divine beast is worth a fight!
Unfortunately, although the power of language is the strongest, it cannot force others to agree directly. It is not a magic spell and does not have such a strong effect.
Therefore, the person who tied the bell must untie it. If we want to resolve Lucario's knot that has spanned a thousand years, we must start with the flower of time. Only by letting him see Aaron's choice a thousand years ago can Lucario truly forgive Aaron.
"Road~"
Lucario is worthy of being Lucario. Less than two minutes after Xiaozhi applied the medicine to him, he was completely restored to normal, and even condensed a wave missile to try out.
"Tweet?"
Seeing Lucario condense another wave missile, the bird Pokémon on the big tree nearby all flew up and flew towards the treetops in the distance.
"Hiss~, when did these bird Pokémon come?"
Gongsun Yan couldn't help but smack his lips as he watched hundreds of birds flying into the sky. Although he noticed that there were bird Pokémon approaching here at first, he didn't pay much attention to them because there were too few of them.
As a result, after Lucario and Xiaozhi finished fighting, there were already hundreds of bird Pokémon of different kinds standing on a big tree nearby watching the show.
The reason they left now was because they mistakenly believed that Lucario still wanted to fight with Ash, so they just changed their location while it was safe.
"Cottonbird, Natural Bird, Armored Bird... There's even a fossil pterosaur? Aren't these extinct fossil Pokémon? And why do predators get along so well with these prey?"
Xiaosheng just took a casual glance and saw a bunch of Pokémon he had seen and hadn't seen before. Not to mention those he didn't recognize, the rest were bird Pokémon that were very rare in the outside world and were very popular on the black market.
There was even a fossil pterosaur that was supposed to have been extinct mixed in with them, and it looked very harmonious, with no intention of attacking the bird Pokémon around it.
Obviously, those bird Pokémon can be considered prey of the pterosaurs, but they fly together in the same sky without any scruples and appear so harmonious.
The environment in the World Tree is so good that it has changed the habits of all Pokémon without them noticing. They no longer have any defenses against humans and are just curious about everything.
It’s strange to say, the World Tree is the origin and gathering place of all waves in the world, but there is not even a Lucario or Riolu living in it.
However, in the Sinnoh region, there is an area where a large number of Lucario and Riolu live. Although no one except the Wave Hero and recognized people are welcome there, this place does exist.
And the news about this place was leaked by Sinnoh champion Sirona. Her Lucario came from there and is said to be the second most powerful Lucario in that place.
