Chapter 241

"You must be careful, you must return safely."

Inside the Tree of Beginning.

Mew, having rested for a while in Ash's arms, reluctantly propped up its body.

"Mew~"

It used its last bit of strength to float in the air.

Mew pointed in a direction, then slowly began to move forward.

Ash, down below, immediately sensed what Mew meant.

"Mew wants us to follow it."

As he spoke, Ash walked toward the direction Mew was heading without a moment's hesitation.

The others followed Ash and moved forward in sync.

Before long.

Ash and his group followed Mew's path and arrived at a location inside the Tree of Beginning.

Here.

The crystals shone with a light more dazzling than anywhere else.

If nothing went wrong, this was the center of the entire Tree of Beginning...

And Mew, in mid-air, finally exhausted its last bit of strength and fell downward.

Ash, who had been waiting for a long time, caught Mew in his arms once again.

At the center of this place.

There was a crystal emitting an extremely dazzling orange light upward.

"Wuff!"

Lucario, who had been observing the surroundings, suddenly discovered a crystal that was different from the others.

It didn't even need the guidance of the Aura.

Lucario had already recognized that familiar aura.

"What's wrong, Lucario?"

Lucario's sudden change also caught Ash's attention.

He turned his head to ask.

He saw Lucario rush toward a crystal at high speed.

Then, Lucario knelt on one knee and picked up a pair of black gloves hanging on the crystal.

Even after a thousand years.

Lucario recognized the owner of the gloves at a single glance.

When he guessed the owner of these gloves.

Lucario's eyes were filled with shock.

It slowly looked up at the crystal.

And through the crystal.

A vague outline could be faintly seen inside.

At this moment, all the information connected in Lucario's mind.

Sir Aaron's strange behavior finally had a reasonable explanation.

"Lucario, whose gloves are these?"

'Sir Aaron's gloves.'

"Why are Aaron's gloves here?"

Ash asked, puzzled.

But this question did not receive an answer from Lucario.

Lucario, who had just cried, burst into tears again.

Once emotions are stirred, they can no longer be controlled.

Lucario tried its best to control its body.

However, its body still tilted over involuntarily.

The Aura within its body also began to run wild uncontrollably.

Sir Aaron's figure gradually emerged in the crystal before them.

At this moment, all speculations were confirmed.

"How could Aaron appear here?"

Ash asked, feeling a bit strange.

After all, there was no record of this in the legends of Rota.

But Lucario, immersed in sorrow, did not answer Ash's question.

Seeing this.

Ash examined the crystal in front of him.

Finally, he saw a Time Flower in front of the crystal.

"A Time Flower..."

Ash subconsciously placed his hand on the Time Flower.

The Aura within his body was also subconsciously guided out.

Kidd was still listening to Banks' analysis when she prepared to say something to Ash.

Turning her head, she saw Ash holding Mew and touching the Time Flower.

The next moment.

The phantom of the Time Flower bloomed at this moment.

The scene from back then appeared before everyone's eyes.

Amidst the misty fog, Aaron appeared here.

"Mew, please appear, I need your help!"

And as the camera moved up.

The audience did not see Mew's figure.

Instead, a Ho-Oh appeared!

Draped in seven-colored light, the feathers all over its body were as gorgeous as a rainbow.

This was exactly the same as the Ho-Oh seen before.

But!

It was Mew that Aaron was calling!

Why would Ho-Oh appear here?

【Ash: Look! I said there really was a Ho-Oh! You didn't believe me at first!】

【Gary: Idiot! You said the Ho-Oh was Mew, but this is clearly a real Ho-Oh!】

【Cynthia: In legend, Mew possesses the genes of all Pokémon, and theoretically it can transform into any Pokémon. In other words, what Ash said is true; this Ho-Oh is Mew.】

【Gary: Huh? This is too similar! It's exactly like Ho-Oh!】

【Professor Oak: This is the unique aspect of Mew. Gary, you should also read more, you know?】

Gary: I'm your own grandson!

In the scene—

The Ho-Oh was indeed as Ash said.

It was indeed transformed by Mew.

Mew flew to Aaron's side, circling around him with great interest.

"Mew, I know you and the Tree of Beginning are one; I need your power."

"Mew?"

"I will use all my Aura, even my life, to stop this war! What does it matter if I sacrifice my life for my country! This is righteousness! Aura is with me!"

"Mew, take it! This is my final Aura!"

As Aaron's words fell, he raised his hand to face Mew in front of him.
