My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Takuma’s “monster” qualities don’t stop there.

The entrance gate, the underground elevator at the end of the stairs, the iron doors in the underground base, and various monitoring equipment were all dealt with by Takuma one by one.

Those protective facilities (referring to various electronic doors and various electronic cameras) that should have loyally guarded the owner's property and prevented outsiders from easily invading, now seemed like unsatisfied vagrants. Under Takuma's ingenious magic hands, they opened their protections wantonly (referring to the door being cracked open), or were so distracted that they lost their perception (referring to the camera being hacked and unable to work properly).

The above are all the crazy complaints in Leo's mind when he has nothing to do.

Yes, during this infiltration, even Zeraora seemed to be more effective than Leo. The yellow cat could precisely control electricity to provide power to Takuma's equipment, or emit electromagnetic waves to disrupt the normal operation of various machines. The tacit cooperation between the two made Leo suspect that Takuma's purpose of taking Zeraora as a spirit companion might be to find a mobile power bank with sufficient battery.

Anyway, with Takuma's godlike performance, the three (elves) infiltrated quite smoothly. Although they encountered a large number of Team Rocket members who were either patrolling or working, they were covered by camouflage jackets and Leo's perception of the atmosphere, which allowed them to avoid them in advance, so the three (elves) came to the core area without being exposed.

And in this area blocked by six gates, Leo finally saw what they had been looking for.

I saw a huge glass tank standing on a machine with several openings connected to slide tracks. At this time, dark Poké Balls were flowing out of the openings and being transported along the tracks to the outside of the room.

The top of the glass tank is connected by a thick pipe, and countless red and white Poké Balls slide down the pipe and fall into the glass tank.

As for what was in the glass tank, the strong sense of déjà vu made Leo think that it might be the corpse of some creature, but the reality was completely different: the glass tank was filled with an unknown liquid, and the center of the tank was extremely black. The strange thing was that this black color, which should have spread throughout the liquid, only stopped in the middle. And in the black liquid, dozens of dark elf balls that were obviously more gorgeous and had different patterns on the surface were quietly floating there.

The dark Poké Balls are those ordinary red and white Poké Balls that are injected with dark liquid and transformed into black and white Poké Balls.

"what is this???"

Takuma's voice sounded in the telepathic communication channel between the three people (elves).

Such a strange machine and the production status of the Dark Elf Ball that is beyond imagination make Takuma feel extremely incredible.

"I do not know either."

Leo couldn't answer Takuma's doubts. Even though he was the one who had dealt with the Dark Elf Ball the most among all people (Elves), both the dark power and the Dark Elf Ball were still a deep and unsolvable mystery to him.

"No matter what it is, as long as we destroy it, won't we achieve our goal?"

Compared to the hesitation of the other two, Zeraora didn't have so many thoughts.

The only thought of this straightforward Pokémon now is to quickly destroy this damn thing and then evacuate safely with his trainer.

Whether it was dark or not, Zeraora believed that his electricity was enough to completely dispel it.

But suddenly, a voice appeared.

"Look, isn't it beautiful?"

A mysterious man walked out from behind the glass tank. He stared at the instrument in front of him, or more precisely, at the large mass of black liquid in the middle of the glass tank and the strange dark elf balls, with a look of appreciation and satisfaction on his face.

"..."

Leo and the other two (elves) didn't say anything, and they didn't even dare to breathe. They were wearing camouflage coats and hiding in a corner. Even they themselves could hardly tell whether their companions next door were still there. Therefore, they were very sure that the mysterious man's question was not directed at them, or perhaps it was a trick by this man to trick out the enemy hiding in the dark.

But unfortunately, the mysterious man's next words shattered their luck.

"Since you are here, why don't you come out and admire my masterpiece?"

The mysterious man hinted at something and tilted his head to look at where the three people (elves) were hiding.

"(Telepathy) Leo, what do we do?"

Takuma was a little nervous and quickly asked Leo for his opinion.

"(Telepathy)... This guy doesn't even have a Poké Ball with him, so he shouldn't be a big threat to us. He must be an important person in Team Rocket, and he's probably trying to trick us into showing up to buy time for rescue. Why don't we take advantage of his trick and pretend to listen to him bragging about this damn thing, then suddenly destroy it and take the opportunity to slip away."

Since the other party has already discovered where the three of them (the elves) are hiding, there is no way to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb. Leo simply decides to show up and listen to what nonsense this guy has to say.

"It's a pity, I don't think it's pretty."

Leo turned off the camouflage function of his coat, walked up to the mysterious man and spoke casually.

Such actions are naturally intentional. By getting close to the mysterious man, one can secretly watch whether he is doing any tricks. If necessary, one can directly use force to stop or hold this guy hostage. After all, when facing someone inside this evil organization, there is no need to be aboveboard.

Takuma and Zeraora pretended to observe the glass tank instrument and slowly moved forward. Countless data flowed in Takuma's glasses. The boy was scanning the instrument in front of him, trying to find a gap that could be destroyed invisibly, while Zeraora had already gathered a condensed and undispersed electric spark at the tip of his claws.

I thought the mysterious man would be surprised or panicked by the appearance of Leo and the other two (elves), but the former, quite abnormally, did not look at the three (elves). Instead, he turned his head back and continued to admire the instrument that produced dark elf balls.

"Hey, let me ask you."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Leo hurriedly found some topics to distract attention and cover Takuma and Zeraora's actions.

"What is this black thing? Do you know that a dark elf ball is like a cage for elves? If you made this thing, why did you do this?"

The mysterious man had an inexplicable smile on his face, and seemed to be answering Leo's questions, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"But what's the difference between this world and a cage?"

"All living beings can only live in this bounded world, following the so-called rules and repeating boring lives day after day. They can even suppress their nature and cannot fully release it."

"Humans, elves, and even all living things in the world, the nature of their souls is to fight and destroy. In nature, the strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. The strong win everything, and the weak deserve to be eliminated. This is the true supreme truth."

“The world is wrong now, I want to correct it and make it a truly perfect world.”

Leo, who had been planning to just nod perfunctorily to deal with the other party, couldn't help but retaliate sarcastically after hearing these arrogant words.

"Come on, big brother, your talk of destruction is outdated. What era is it now? You still talk about such unrealistic things as wanting to rebuild a new world. Do you think you are Arceus?"

The mysterious man was not angry when he heard Leo's sarcasm.

He looked Leo up and down, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"I didn't expect to see the Lucario clan again after such a long gap."

"What do you mean?"

Leo suddenly became alert.

"In those distant ancient times, if it weren't for you Lucario clan, my noble and supreme master would have corrected this world long ago. There would be no need to go through the trouble like we do now."

"you?"

The mysterious man's tone, which seemed to have lasted for a long time, suddenly gave Leo a bad feeling.

"You don't know? Your parents didn't leave any inheritance for you?" The mysterious man was a little surprised that Leo knew nothing about what had happened. "But it doesn't matter. Even if you knew what happened, there is nothing you can do with only one Lucario left. Not to mention, things can't be stopped. All that's left is to wait quietly for the Lord I serve to wake up, and then correct this world."

"Takuma, destroy this device immediately!"

Leo shouted, and at the same time, he turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards the glass tank with a powerful impact force.

His intuition told him that if he didn't act now, it would be too late.

What he wanted to destroy was the black liquid in the middle of the glass jar and the mysterious Poké Balls in the liquid.

The azure light gathered in Leo's hand, and in an instant, a violently spiraling waveguide energy bomb appeared on his palm.

"[One hundred thousand volts]!"

Zeraora suddenly raised his claws and inserted them into the instrument. Electricity surged throughout his body, gathering into tens of thousands of volts and injecting them into it.

"【Wave Missile】!"

Leo leaped in the air and pressed the waveguide energy bomb hard in the middle of the glass tank.
