The more the vehicle drove in the direction of the World Tree, the fog around it became thicker.

The man with light blue hair, with his hands on the steering wheel, is conscientious in popularizing science:

"It is said that these fogs are meant to deter travelers who strayed into the confines of the World Tree."

Even a large searchlight could not pierce the fog.

I had to use low beams to illuminate Lucario in front of the car.

Lucario surveyed with waveguides, led the vehicles behind him, and ran towards the World Tree with his eyes closed.

"No wonder Queen Lynne would let Lucario go with us." Ash whispered, thinking of Pikachu again, his eyes darkened.

Lu Ye, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said with relief: "Maybe... It's possible that Dream is just playing with Pikachu and Meowmeow. ”

"I hope so." Ash nodded.

Musashi clenched his fists angrily: "If Meow Meow is really lazy, causing us to be in such a hurry... I've got to make it pretty! ”

"Be quiet, Musashi, you'll be noisy." Kojiro persuaded.

Musashi leaned back on the back of the seat indignantly, and after a long time, whispered, "I hope Meow Meow is okay......"

The sun was rising, and the sun pierced the fog.

The gentle chirping of birds sounded, and the fragrance of flowers wafted all around.

"It seems that we have reached the territory of the World Tree."

Daigo raised his eyes, looked out the car window, and smiled:

"Everyone, let's rest for a while."

All night, Ash didn't make a drop of rice.

At this time, hearing Daigo's words, Ash's stomach couldn't help but growl.

"There's a makeshift and folding table in the trunk..."

Dawu pulled down the handbrake and looked at Lu Ye, meaning something.

“…… At the end of the day, do you still need a cook? ”

Lu Ye shook his head, put his hand on the car door and shouted, "Lucario, rest for a while, and make you something to eat!" ”

"I'll help too." Kojiro said.

The dish is a simple sandwich.

With Kojiro in hand, the progress is a lot faster.

"Ahh The group chewed a sandwich made by Mr. Landing.

In an instant, the tiredness of the whole night seemed to be cured.

Looking at everyone's trance-like expressions, Lu Ye said with a smile:

"I added wild apple fruits, which have a refreshing effect."

Dawu sighed with emotion: "This can be said to be the link I am most looking forward to when I walk with Teacher Lu..."

"So do we!" Musashi and Kojiro said happily.

"I'll go over there and have a look."

Ash looked at Lucario, who was sitting on a boulder and chewing the fruit alone, and picked up a sandwich with a handkerchief.

Coming to Lucario, Ash handed over a sandwich.

Lucario frowned, finally took it, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

A happy smile appeared on Ash's face:

"Don't be so upset, maybe... Maybe there is something unspeakable about Aaron that seals you! ”

Lucario was chewing when his face suddenly turned ugly, and he jumped away with a cold grunt in his sandwich.

Ash scratched his head: "I am... Did you say something wrong again? ”

On the other side.

Rikuno and Daigo stood at the bottom of the cliff, looking at a crystalline flower that bloomed on a steep spot.

"That's the time spent, right?" Lu Ye remembered the memory and said in a deep voice.

"What's that?" Daigo is interested in ores, but he doesn't know much about plants.

"Legend has it that the waveguide messenger can see the flowers of the past."

Lu Ye crossed his arms and said with emotion: "Maybe, it has something to do with Sherabi." ”

Daigo nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "Seeing the picture of the past... Sometimes it's cruel. ”

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment.

recalled the tragic scene before the time regression of "Emerald Chapter", and couldn't help nodding.

"Let's go." Daigo turned around and said with a smile, "In half a day's trip, you should be able to reach the World Tree!" ”

The next trip.

Rikuno and Kojiro took turns to replace Daigo and get into the driver's seat.

Each of the trio of Team Rocket is a "piloting specialty".

But when Kojiro sat in the co-pilot, he was still a little surprised: "Mr. Lu, your driving skills are very good." ”

"Of course." Lu Ye said, "I can't drive steadily. ”

On the way, the group took a break.

And Ash and Lucario had a conflict.

"I'm never going to leave Pikachu behind!" Ash said loudly.

"Before life and death come." Lucario said coldly, "You might be like Aaron." ”

"No kidding, even if I gamble my life, I won't give up Pikachu!"

"The little imp who talks big ......"

"What did you say!" Ash gritted his teeth and lunged at Lucario, scuffling with it.

The two fell into the creek and splashed the waves, but it was Ash who had the upper hand.

Rao is a well-informed Dawu, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Teacher Lu, this is ......"

"Ah, basic operation." Lu Ye said calmly, "Xiao Zhi may also release wave missiles." ”

Daigo: "??? ”

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh.

You have to look back at the time flower and see it with your own eyes.

In order for Lucario to truly understand Aaron.

And Arlang is the same as Ash.

For the sake of their elves, the two even risked their own lives.

In "It's up to you! ", Ash really didn't abandon Pikachu until he died.

So, what Ash said was not just an empty word......

"What about me." Lu Ye frowned slightly.

Do I really have this kind of awareness?

"Kouji?" Noticing Lu Ye's expression, Geng Ghost grinned and stuck out his tongue.

"But~!" The ribbon attached to the arm of Fairy Eevee also sent a burst of warmth.

Six Poke Balls, each with its own unique temperature, Lu Ye already knew it.

Lu Ye smiled slightly.

There's no need to doubt yourself.

All I have to do is leave myself with no regrets.

Look at Lucario's back.

Lu Ye secretly made up his mind, and he already had an answer.

……

Sunday, January 3rd, cloudy.

It's been a day and a night since the departure from the city of Ourudlang.

Lying on his side in the back seat of the jeep, Ash said, "Pikachu..."

Lucario sped in front of the jeep, his back illuminated by the car's light, and his mind was in turmoil.

That human, like Aaron, likes to talk big.

Say what not to give up your own Pokémon.

But why, his waveguide, is not lying......

Lucalli stopped suddenly.

Looking up at the tree of the world's origin towering into the sky and standing above the rocky mountain, the behemoth of the world.

You can't see the top at all, green birds, natural birds... All kinds of rare birds fly in the clouds.

There are all kinds of elf waveguides around, all of which are rare in the outside world.

They seem to have maintained their habits thousands of years ago, and they have no defense against humans, just curious eyes.

This gentle and kind waveguide made Lucario smile.

But in an instant, the earth beneath his feet shook violently, and a deep ravine suddenly cracked.

A dazzling red light overflowed from within the ravine.

"What's going on!" Kojiro and Musashi woke up.

"Get out of the car." Daigo pushed the car door open.

What appeared in front of him was an ancient legendary giant that Daigo was familiar with.

The body is covered in earthy yellow, made of gray and orange rocks, and the H-shaped face is arranged in a group, glowing with a dangerous red light.

One of the guards who maintain the Initial Tree of the World, Reggie Rock of the Rock System!

Just standing there, there was an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

Ash swallowed his saliva and said loudly:

"Da Wusan, quickly use your invincible giant gold monster to find a way!"

"Didn't the gods restrict your freedom?"

Daigo closed his eyes and smiled.

"Indeed, this is also a good thing."

The breeze was gusting, and the light blue-haired man straightened the buttons on his cuffs and moved his fingers.

Pinned to the lapel, the brooch shines like an iridescent glow.

Daigo's eyes were sharp, and he said with a smile:

"Teacher Lu, it's our turn to move!"
