Chapter 194

【Dr. Elm: This confirms it; my guess was correct. This Riolu is calling out to Ash!】

【Elesa: Really? Is there truly such a magical thing?】

【Bea: It's truly fascinating. To feel one's own trainer again after a thousand years—Riolu must be very excited.】

【Korrina: That's why I love Lucario the most! Bea! You should catch a Lucario too!】

【Bruno: What you say is true, but... Lucario has no muscles at all; it's not cool enough!】

【Korrina: The standard for being cool isn't muscles!】

【Ash: Why? Why do I feel my heart racing when I see this Pokémon egg?】

【Riley: Because the Aura is guiding you!】

Rota.

Watching the scene in the livestream, Riley couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Could his ancestor really be Ash?

That familiar Aura.

And now, Lucario.

What exactly is going on?

He really wants to know!

After all, there have always been two versions of the legend in Rota.

One is that Sir Aaron sacrificed himself to release all his Aura, thereby saving Rota.

The other is that Sir Aaron sealed his former partner away and then fled.

Riley really wants to know the truth.

When will that story, buried in history, finally be truly unraveled?

Lucario.

Sir Aaron.

Ash.

What kind of connection do they have!

Is Riolu actually the reincarnation of Lucario?

The answer to everything is shrouded in layers of mist.

……

In the footage—

On the way to the Pokémon Center.

That voice echoed in Ash's mind from time to time.

If it happened once, it could be a mistake.

But happening several times in a row made that impossible.

And the closer they got to the Pokémon Center,

the more distinct the voice became.

In a daze, Ash handed Raboot, who he was holding, to Nurse Joy.

After having medicine applied, Raboot, who had been acting cool the whole time, finally couldn't help but let out a "Wah!" cry.

Even.

It shed tears.

"Raboot!"

I'm sorry, the senior sister is useless! The senior sister shouldn't have cried!

This appearance made Nurse Joy and Chloe burst into laughter.

Only Ash looked somewhat gloomy.

That voice was becoming more and more distinct.

And more and more urgent.

Following his inner guidance, Ash walked toward the interior of the Pokémon Center.

"Ash, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Ash like this, Chloe hurriedly asked.

However, Ash acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to walk forward on his own.

Seeing this scene.

Nurse Joy and Chloe exchanged a glance, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"What's wrong with your companion?"

Facing Nurse Joy's question.

Chloe and Pikachu shrugged in perfect sync.

They indicated they didn't know either, but they recounted the situation where Ash said he heard a voice on the way.

At the mention of this.

Chloe couldn't help but shiver.

She was truly afraid of ghosts!

It was strange, considering she clearly had a Ghost-type Misdreavus herself!

In the end, Chloe just disliked ugly-looking Ghost-type Pokémon.

Just as Nurse Joy and Chloe were talking.

Ash had already walked into the interior of the research facility.

Turning the corner and going upstairs, the room's door opened automatically.

Ash walked straight in.

This was a Pokémon incubation room, filled with many incubation devices.

Almost every device contained an egg waiting to hatch.

And among this group of eggs.

One was particularly special.

The other eggs were placed very thoughtfully inside incubation chambers.

But above this egg, two iron ring-like devices were connected.

Two wires inside the iron rings connected to an instrument on the side.

This instrument monitored the changes in the egg at all times.

Actually, it didn't need these things as embellishments.

After Ash, who possessed the power of Aura, entered this room.

He had already clearly felt the power of Aura emanating from this egg.

An incomparably familiar power of Aura.

Just like back then.

"Lucario, is that you?"

Ash placed his hand on the glass of the incubator.

At this moment, the Riolu egg finally stopped emitting Aura.

But even without the Aura, Ash could be certain of this egg's identity.

The reincarnation of Lucario.

Coming to fulfill the promise from a thousand years ago.

At this time, countless photos flashed in the livestream.

These photos played on the light screen like a slideshow.

Those photos were exactly the origin of the bond between Ash and Lucario.

Even, the audience saw Sir Aaron in them.

The Aura Guardian who legend says saved Rota.

At this moment, all the viewers were stunned.

This... Ash actually has a connection to Sir Aaron?
