Chapter 217

Ash did indeed speak first, breaking this eerie atmosphere.

"Hello, my name is Ash; why did you mistake me for Aaron just now? Is it because of the clothes I'm wearing?"

Lucario looked up at Ash, then shifted its gaze to the painting depicting Aaron and his partners.

'No, it's not the clothes.

It's that your Aura is exactly the same as Lord Aaron's.'

Hearing this, Ash was slightly stunned.

At this time, he still didn't know what Aura was.

But before Ash could ask.

Max ran in with a group of Pokémon.

He ran while shouting, "Ash, it's bad! Mew... Mew took Pikachu and the others away; right, and Meowth! Meowth was also taken by Mew!"

And his voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

It's just, why would Mew appear here?

But hearing Max's statement.

Queen Eileen and the old lady beside her did not show fear.

In Cameron Palace, there are often rumors about sightings of Mew.

In the legends of Cameron Palace, being able to meet Mew means you are a lucky child.

Just as the old lady was praising Max.

Max interrupted the old lady's words.

He firmly believed that he had indeed seen Pikachu and Meowth taken away by Mew.

Originally, Ash and the others thought Max was joking.

Until Kidd walked in from the side hall and confirmed Max's words.

Only then did the words just now arouse everyone's vigilance.

And according to Kidd's description, Mew turned into a Pidgeot and took Ash's Pikachu and Meowth away from Cameron Palace.

The top floor of the palace.

Jessie and James, who had been eavesdropping, also felt heavy.

Originally, they were happy to see a rare Pokémon like Lucario.

But immediately after, they received the news that Meowth had been taken away.

Meowth is an indispensable partner in their Team Rocket!

But why were they so careless to be taken away with Pikachu?

"Where is Mew! I want to bring Pikachu back!"

Ash's voice was exceptionally firm.

Hearing such words, Lucario was clearly stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Ash's figure seemed to overlap with the Aaron of the past.

Meanwhile.

After Eileen heard Ash's voice, she also took Ash and the others to the palace balcony.

Following the direction of Eileen's finger.

Everyone saw a high mountain that looked like stars surrounding the moon.

Here, one could vaguely see the outline of a tree.

This is also the meaning of this balcony.

If you look in the same direction from other places.

You simply cannot see the Tree of Beginning that stands there.

In the eyes of ordinary people.

That is just an ordinary mountain peak.

Many adventurers have wanted to find the legendary Tree of Beginning.

However, even if they knew where the Tree of Beginning was, they still couldn't set foot there.

The area around the Tree of Beginning is filled with a special mist.

Walking through it, one would return to the original path without knowing it.

If there is no guidance from Mew, ordinary people simply cannot reach it.

Although that is the case.

But it is not completely without methods.

One of the methods to reach the Tree of Beginning is Aura.

Powerful Aura can penetrate the special mist.

"Lucario's Aura will guide the direction forward, even in the dark, moving forward as usual."

"With Lucario's guidance, I believe it will be easy to find the Tree of Beginning."

"Lucario, are you willing to take Ash to find Pikachu and the others?"

Eileen's gentle voice reached Lucario's ears.

Just like Rin back then.

She would never force Lucario or Aaron to do anything.

Everything would respect the other party's wishes.

Just like Ash, in Eileen's heart, Pokémon and humans are equal.

Eileen's words were not a command, but a request.

If Lucario didn't agree, Eileen would absolutely not force the other party.

And feeling the kindness in Eileen's words.

Lucario placed its hand on its chest.

'Follow the Queen's will'

Ash, who was originally a bit worried, relaxed after hearing Lucario's voice.

After all, he only noticed that Pikachu was missing until now.

This made Ash feel very self-blaming in his heart.

Since there is Lucario's help.

Then he will definitely be able to find Pikachu back.

"If you don't mind, I'll help too."

Just then.

A voice came from inside the room.

Kidd had changed back into her adventurer gear.

And seeing Kidd after she finished changing, Brock's eyes had completely turned into hearts.

With just one glance, Brock flipped to the page belonging to Kidd in his treasured beauty manual.

And exposed the identity of the other party as a world-class adventurer to everyone.

With her help, I believe this trip will be much smoother.

"Actually, I came to Cameron Palace this time to explore the secrets of the Tree of Beginning."

Saying this, Kidd leaned on the edge of the balcony and looked at the Tree of Beginning in the distance.

It's just that, for some reason.

She didn't say that she had dispatched Weavile to attach a tracker to Mew, which caused Mew to take the two Pokémon away.

It looks like kind help.

But it is more like a means of utilization.

After all, with her current ability, she can't find Mew at all.

Mew, it is the most mysterious Pokémon.

The audience watching the livestream took in the reaction in Kidd's eyes.

For a moment, they had more understanding of the adventurer profession.

【Codename "Looker": Seriously, I suddenly feel that you adventurers are no different from those poachers.】

【Kidd: That's not it, listen to my explanation! I am absolutely sincere in wanting to help Ash and the others find Pikachu! I absolutely have no intention of using them!】 ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
