Chapter 452: Lucario

The news announced by Queen Eileen was like a deep-sea bomb, catching the guests off guard.

Except for a few high-ranking people who knew the inside scoop, the guests from all over the world, especially those who had confirmed their participation in the compatibility matching, all had flushed faces and looks of extreme astonishment.

That was a Riolu with "Royal Bloodline"!

Pokémon like Lucario were already quite popular, and as one of the faces of Rota, every Queen was accompanied by an incredibly powerful Lucario.

This Lucario was more special than other ordinary members of its kind.

Its innate powerful Aura allowed it to learn the Aura Sphere move, which became more powerful as the Aura grew stronger, even during its Riolu stage.

Its strength went without saying; its combat power was extremely formidable.

Many people had sour expressions, regretting why they hadn't participated in this event.

The previously calm expressions of Li Luoyan and Miao Yin cracked, and they exclaimed in unison: "What kind of wind is blowing that they are actually willing to let out a Riolu with the 'Royal Bloodline'?"

It was well known that since Rota's inception, every generation of Queens had been Aura users, but the Lucario by their side were not necessarily of Royal Bloodline.

The last time a Riolu with Royal Bloodline appeared was a hundred years ago; the Lucario by the current Queen Eileen's side didn't have Royal Bloodline either.

In this situation, Rota chose to perform external matching!?

Why?

Zhao Yunlan's fair face flushed red, and he almost couldn't control himself from pulling Su Hao and jumping up: "Su Hao, Su Hao, this is incredible!"

At this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of what would happen if he were the chosen one and matched with the Royal Bloodline Riolu!?

Su Hao held him down and looked around.

The guests from various countries, who had looked decent just a moment ago, had their disguises dropped, and everyone was staring at the Riolu Pokémon egg at the top with fanatical eyes.

Some even had greed on their faces that they didn't bother to hide.

Eileen had long anticipated the reaction of the crowd below; a hint of hesitation flashed across her exquisitely made-up face, and she sighed softly.

Then, she took the scepter handed to her by the maid, tapped the floor lightly with its base, and the specially made blue Poké Ball at the top of the scepter opened, and a red light shone.

Then, a figure like a knight appeared and knelt on one knee toward her.

That was the Aura Pokémon, Lucario.

A large and a small Aura rose from Eileen and Lucario, and the Aura of the human and the Pokémon merged without obstruction, turning into ripples that spread out.

A moment later, Queen Eileen looked down with satisfaction.

The people whose heads had been hot were all sobered up by her and Lucario's Aura, though there were obstacles in a few places.

She had anticipated this situation; even a Gym-level trainer couldn't block the Aura released by her and Lucario combined.

Only the Heavenly King-level trainers from various countries could do so.

However...

Eileen's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly, and she looked with some doubt at the only four people from the Shenzhou Alliance at this banquet.

She knew the Fire Heavenly King Li Luoyan, and the other middle-aged man, judging by his aura, should be a Heavenly King-level trainer.

As for the two younger-looking boys, one who looked like a high school or middle school student was an Aura user like her.

Although not strong, he could defend himself if her Aura wasn't deliberately targeting him.

But the feedback when the Aura swept past the other extremely handsome boy made her secretly shocked.

It was as if she had hit an invisible wall; the Aura she and Lucario had merged couldn't advance even a fraction.

"Could it be that his elder took action to protect him...?"

Eileen could only guess this way.

After Li Luoyan used his trump card to block the Aura that had a soothing effect but also the function of prying into the mind, he looked at the two juniors with concern.

He didn't know much about Aura.

Senior Miao's nephew looked confused; if it weren't for the fact that Queen Eileen was using Aura on a large scale rather than targeting individuals,

Miao Yin would have also taken action to protect him, which was how he blocked this wave of Aura that came crashing down like a tide.

Instead, it was Su Hao—this young trainer who was being watched by the higher-ups—who had even heard of him.

Originally, it should have been Miao Yin taking action to protect Zhao Yunlan, and he taking action to protect Su Hao.

But before he could even take action, this incredibly powerful Aura was easily neutralized by Su Hao without any fluctuation in his expression.

Could it be that his Aura could rival Queen Eileen before she merged her Aura with Lucario's!?

Su Hao glanced at Miao Yin and Li Luoyan, who were completely unmoved by the Aura just now, and frowned.

Li Luoyan's action just now was to protect him.

But he had already taken a step ahead to block that Aura, which should have been at a high level...

The Aura of that Heavenly King-level Lucario and Queen Eileen's Aura merged, actually able to raise the Aura to a high level, rivaling him.

Terrifying...

Many powerful trainers around also took action to protect their juniors.

For example, the hook-nosed, somewhat cold-tempered Steel-type Heavenly King of the United States Alliance, David Wilson, who was beside the Aphrodite he had just spoken to.

And Sofia, the Heavenly King of the Russian Alliance, a dashing woman with a smile, pale golden hair draped over her shoulders, and visible muscle lines on her exposed arms and shoulders.

Besides that, there was another gaze that had been staring at him that made him very concerned...

Su Hao calmly lifted his gaze to look at the front left; it was a foreign man with an average appearance and curly brown hair.

He was followed by several bodyguards whose aura could be seen even through their disguises.

Judging by his features, he looked like someone from the Galar Alliance.

Why was he staring at him with such hostility?

Taking advantage of the fact that Queen Eileen hadn't continued speaking yet to control the scene, Su Hao tugged at Li Luoyan's sleeve to ask about the man's identity.

He always felt that this person was up to no good.

Li Luoyan looked in the direction Su Hao pointed, searched his memory for the list of people at this banquet, and replied: "That person is called Dominic; he should be the heir to a mineral mining company in the Galar Alliance, and the people beside him are his bodyguards."

"Logically speaking, he wouldn't be qualified to receive an invitation to this banquet."

"But recently, the Galar Alliance seems to be vigorously developing underground mining, and they even gave him the quota to come to Rota for matching."

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded and said: "I understand, thank you, Heavenly King Li."

Galar Alliance... he remembered that there had always been uncontrolled Dynamax phenomena happening there, right?

This was also the only special system that had traces to follow.

Plus the fact that the Galar Alliance had been vigorously developing mineral mining companies recently...

Could it be that they had already discovered the Wishing Star item and had successfully completed controlled Dynamax experiments!?
