My Name of the Spirit Lucario

This cry of surprise stunned the Blastoise that was about to launch an attack.

Such a familiar voice awakened the Blastoise boss's past memories.

With the help of the light from the Steel Cannon, he could clearly see the appearance of the elf he had just fought with.

The skinny elf who looked like a puppy, the elf wearing a blue cloak and a dazzling crown on his head who stood up to fight against the invincible enemy, merged into one with the elf in front of him who had a nimble and heroic figure.

The Blastoise boss dispersed his steel energy and asked tentatively.

"You are, Leo?"

……

The two sides, who were originally at loggerheads, suddenly wanted to coexist peacefully, which made most of the elves find it difficult to accept for a while. However, when they saw clearly who they were besieging, their dissatisfaction and depression instantly turned into surprise and joy.

"Leo, long time no see!"

"Wow, it's Leo, and Takuma!"

"Leo, you're so tall!"

"Hey, who is this big cat next to you, Takuma? Is he your friend?"

Takuma excitedly walked forward and started playing with those familiar elves.

You know, after escaping from the secret research institute in Crescent Forest, he met Leo, and then followed him to the Rising Sun Valley, where he met many elf friends. After the war, although Leo disappeared, Takuma, whose home was near Crescent Forest, often went to the Rising Sun Valley to play with the elves, until the entire East region fell into the occupation of Team Rocket, and Takuma had to move to a safe place with his parents, and was unable to continue to enter the Crescent Forest to meet the elves.

The elves in Chaoyang Valley did not know Zeraora, because Zeraora was the elf that Takuma conquered after he left Hatsubai Town. However, what Takuma did not expect was that Zeraora, who had always been aloof and did not like to interact with strange humans or elves, was getting along well with the elves in Chaoyang Valley. Although there was still no smile on her face, Takuma, who was familiar with her, knew that this was the gentlest attitude Zeraora had shown.

"Paparazzi!"

On the other side, Leo was smiling and greeting the elves of Chaoyang Valley whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Suddenly, when he heard the last sentence of the address, veins popped out on his forehead.

He glanced around unkindly to see who was so bold.

Several stinking flowers lined up in a row were waving their hands happily at Leo.

Stinky flower?

Several memories flashed through his mind, and finally, the figures of those walking grasses overlapped with the stinking flowers in front of him.

"You are... the Walking Grass brother and sister?"

Leo counted the stinking flowers in front of him and matched them one by one with the walking grass he was familiar with:

The eldest walking grass, the second walking grass, the third walking grass, the fourth walking grass and the fifth walking grass.

Both the number and the gender are exactly the same.

"Yes, yes, it's us!"

"Where have you been? Why haven't I seen you for so long?"

"..."

Seeing that Leo had recognized them, Zou Zou Cao, no, now it should be Chouchou Hua and his siblings immediately cheered and bombarded Leo with questions, which not only hurt Leo's ears but also aroused a sense of nostalgia.

The second and fourth children, who are active by nature, were so excited that they wanted to come up and give Leo a big hug.

As a result, he was ruthlessly dodged by the latter.

Seeing the depressed looks on the faces of the stinky flowers, Leo felt a little sorry. He could only pinch his nose and bear the stench while hugging each of them gently.

When she held the youngest sister, she started crying for some reason.

Leo panicked for a moment and quickly explained.

“Ahem, little sister, it’s not that I don’t want to cuddle with you guys, it’s mainly because after you evolve, it’s, um, that smell… ahem, you know, it’s a little bit… uh, it stinks… and you know, my dog ​​nose is so sensitive, it smells so painful…”

The fifth sister, Chou Chou Hua, cried and shook her head. Even the consolation from her other brothers and sisters could not stop her crying.

"I think my little sister is thinking of Big Sister Amazon."

Boss Stinky Flower sighed and deduced the reason why the fifth sister was crying.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the elves present, whether they were listening quietly or making joyful noises, fell silent.

Only the fifth sister's crying voice echoed in the sewer.

"Leo, Takuma, you guys also know about this, right?"

When the Blastoise boss saw that Leo had a gloomy expression but was not too surprised, he knew that he had probably learned the news somewhere.

"Boss, tell me, what happened at that time?"

Leo pulled the Blastoise boss aside, and the two Pokémon sat down. The latter told the story of that day in a low, deep voice.

……

It was a sunny day with a cloudless sky.

The Chaoyang Valley allows the rising sun to spread into the valley. The temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold, making many elves want to just lie in a comfortable place with their eyes closed and bask in the warm sunshine.

An atmosphere of leisure and tranquility envelopes the entire valley.

Until a quick shout broke the rare silence.

"Boss! Something bad has happened!"

Fistulous, who was out on patrol, "ran" into the valley, crawling and tumbling. Looking at his panicked look, it was clear that something bad was about to happen.

"Don't be impatient. Calm down and speak slowly."

Blastoise Boss is comforting Geodude.

Perhaps it was because the leader's calmness was very reassuring, Geodude also calmed down a lot and told what he saw during patrol.

"The Toxic Swamp... A large group of humans wearing black clothes suddenly came there. They sent out many black Pokémons and defeated the leader Nidoking and other Pokémons. It was terrifying... Also, those humans used some black Poké Balls to capture the remaining Pokémons directly..."

Geodude's narration was a bit confusing, but Blastoise still keenly extracted some key words.

When he heard words like "humans in black clothes", "black elves" and "black Poké Balls", he immediately thought of the super war that happened a year ago.

The human who summoned the battle beast seemed to be a member of the evil organization "Team Rocket". I remember that person also held a black Poké Ball in his hand. The human named "Jerrod" wanted to control the powerful Pokémon through the black Pokémon.

So what does the Rockets plan to do in Crescent Forest this time?

Although Blastoise couldn't guess the invaders' intentions, it didn't stop him from making all the elves in the valley ready for battle.

"This time, there shouldn't be too many problems, right?"

Queen Flower asked Blastoise with a worried tone. At the same time, she glanced at the other Pokémons who were full of fighting spirit, and the valley which had finally returned to its previous tranquility and beauty after more than half a year of hard work.

It wasn't that she was afraid of fighting, but she really didn't want this hard-earned peace to be shattered again because of disputes.

"Leave the most powerful enemy to me!"

As Scythe wiped the sickles on its arms, a cold light shone from its triangular eyes.

The Blastoise boss comforted Rosario with a few words, then looked around at the Pokémon lineup that were ready to fight at any time.

Scyther leads a Bug-type lineup including Beedrill and Butterfree as a mobile force, and they use their flexibility to harass and attack on the battlefield. Vyperflower and a group of Grass-type and Water-type Pokémon serve as the rear line of defense to provide treatment and support to the Pokémon in the front line. Although Elite Armstrong has left the valley, several Rock-type and Fighting-type Pokémon have grown up, and they will serve as the main positional force together with Blastoise to protect all the Pokémon and this home.

Thinking of the many Pokémons behind him who were inspired by that battle and trained hard afterwards, they all stepped into stronger forms. In addition to his strong defensive and offensive power, as well as his ultimate move, "Light of Evolution", and his domineering aura, Blastoise thought to himself that even if Nidoking, who was captured by humans, attacked here with all his strength, he would definitely not end up well.

Ready to go, the elves of Chaoyang Valley await the arrival of their enemies.

……

As a result, the strange black Poké Ball became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the elves in Chaoyang Valley.

Without any warning and without any reason, all the elves were put into the Poké Balls. Even though the latter resisted desperately and struggled with all their strength, they could not withstand the light emitted by the black Poké Balls.

Even a very fast Pokémon like Scyther couldn't escape the dark light that was following behind it like a thorn in its side.

Finally he was forcibly "subdued".

Naturally, some elves would rather die together than become tools of human slavery.

"Come on!"

This was the last sentence that Amazona left for Blastoise.

Then, the flowers bloomed and the green leaves fluttered.

The violent storm of flying leaves triggered a chain reaction beyond imagination.

The cliffs collapsed and huge rocks rolled down, repelling Team Rocket while also blocking the entire Chaoyang Valley.

……

The Blastoise boss built a small tomb for the Queen of Flowers, and buried the only remaining red petal that could be found inside.

During that period, he was depressed in the valley and didn't even want to care about anything.

He would often sit beside those small mounds of earth, staring at the sky, motionless for the entire day.

The other elves did not dare to disturb him and could only do their best to reorganize the valley which was almost in ruins.

But Team Rocket is still unwilling to let these poor elves go.

After some time, they came back again.

This time, many team members were dispatched to surround Chaoyang Valley.

……

"So how did you get here?"

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but interrupt.

In his impression, Chaoyang Valley is quite a distance away from Shuilan City. And according to what Blastoise boss said, when they were surrounded by Team Rocket's tight net, how did the former lead the remaining elves to escape from Chaoyang Valley and even from Crescent Forest?

Blastoise continued to narrate.

……

He never knew that Snorlax, who was always gentle and honest, would yell at him so angrily.

"How long will you be depressed?"

Snorlax, who had come to Chaoyang Valley to help not long ago, grabbed Blastoise's arm and glared at him.

"Xiaohua sacrificed herself so that you and her beloved ones could have a chance to survive. And now you want to give up? You are not only giving up your life, but also the freedom of all the elves in the valley who believe in you and rely on you?"

The Blastoise boss avoided eyes and didn't dare to look directly at his friend.

"Back then, you couldn't evolve, and your strength wasn't strong enough, but you would never give up. In order to protect everyone and your home, you faced danger and difficulties countless times. But now, where is your courage? Your persistence? Your will? Where is it?"

"Are you worthy of Xiaohua's sacrifice?"

Every word was like a needle that pierced the heart of the Blastoise boss. Although it hurt him, it also woke him up.

So, the Blastoise boss cheered up and decided to lead the elves out of the valley.

Yes, facing the strange black elf ball, no matter how powerful the elf is, it cannot avoid the strange light of capture. Therefore, the most appropriate thing to do is to abandon your home and escape to the outside world.

Having lived in the semi-enclosed terrain of Chaoyang Valley for so long, the elves here had already prepared a secret escape route.

But the Rocket Team's attack was too fierce. As soon as all the elves entered the secret passage, the Rocket Team blew up the entrance to the closed valley and chased after the elves.

At the critical moment, Snorlax used his fat body to block the passage, leaving the elves enough time to escape.

Escaping along the passage, crossing the Dragon Cave where the Crescent Forest and Water Blue City meet, a group of elves led by the leader Blastoise finally arrived at the secret place of the sewer in Water Blue City and settled down there.

……

"When I turned back to help Snorlax, I found that he had been captured by that strange black Poké Ball..."

The Blastoise boss spoke calmly.

"Luckily, Team Rocket sent Snorlax to guard this Aquamarine City. My next goal is to rescue Snorlax, then return to Crescent Forest and drive out the invaders. But with our current strength, it is definitely not enough, so, Leo, are you willing to help me?"

Facing the sincere gaze of the Blastoise boss, Leo smiled.

"Isn't this exactly my goal? Let me lend you a hand, Boss."

Leo stood up, facing all the elves in Chaoyang Valley, and raised his left thumb.

"Chaoyang Valley, Leo, officially back on the team!"
