My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Leo was looking forward to the moment when he would see the Lucario Kingdom.

However, before seeing the kingdom, the first thing you encounter is a cliff that is almost completely vertical to the ground.

"Will it be located in a valley like Chaoyang Valley?"

Thinking of this, Leo looked around, trying to find a crack somewhere on the rock wall that could be used for entry and exit.

Unfortunately, although the rock wall is uneven, it is quite intact. Not to mention the cracks that serve as entrances and exits, even smaller cracks are difficult to detect.

Looking again, on the left is a turbulent river, and on the right is a forest that has just emerged. No matter how you look at it, there doesn't seem to be any trace of a road on either side.

"Leo, what are you daydreaming about? Come here!"

While he was still struggling, Leo heard Ye Zi calling him.

I saw Lucario beside me had already rushed out, then grabbed the protruding stone on the rock wall with one claw, and with a push of his feet, he easily climbed up several meters. Perhaps he found that the elves beside him did not keep up, so Ye Zi turned his head and looked down. Seeing that Leo was still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but shout to him.

"You mean?"

Leo pointed at the steep and high rock wall in disbelief, then pointed at the leaves.

"This is the only way back to the kingdom from the woods. Although it's a little difficult to climb now because of the wet ground, it's not a big deal since I've been used to it since I was a child... Why are you daydreaming? Hurry up and catch up, or you'll miss dinner today."

Ye Zi said a lot of things in one breath, then ignored Leo and climbed up on her own.

"...Are all Lucarios this era so powerful?"

Leo had a slight doubt, but he stopped hesitating and stretched out his right claw to grab the protruding stone on the rock wall.

"It's OK, a little slippery, but at least it's solid."

Leo had played a lot of extreme challenges like rock climbing in his previous life, no, when he was reincarnated into the human world. After all, this is a sport that tests core strength and whole-body coordination. For Leo as a fighter at the time, it was also a good way to exercise.

But what is different from that time is that now there are no protective measures such as safety ropes. Once they fall, although the elves will not die on the spot due to their physical fitness, they will probably suffer torture such as broken arms and legs.

Looking up, Ye Zi had already climbed to the middle of the rock wall, about 50 meters high. Leo stood below and looked, but even with his sharp eyesight, he could only barely see a small outline.

"Let's go!"

Leo patted his face with his paws to get rid of the slight fear in his heart.

With a leap, he grabbed the protruding right claw and exerted force, and the whole elf soared upwards like an arrow.

Unlike Ye Zi who used both hands and feet, Leo chose a more aggressive way of climbing.

The upward trend gradually slowed down under the influence of gravity. When it reached the highest point, at the moment of falling, Leo quickly stretched out his claws and grabbed a bulge again. At the same time, his feet, flashing with fighting energy, stepped hard on the rock wall.

A slightly deep claw mark was left, providing Leo with some support.

That's enough!

Leo used his hands and feet again to push himself upwards.

Using this rocket-jump-like climbing method, even though Leo started behind Ye Zi, the two Pokémon reached the top in almost the same amount of time.

"Your way of climbing is really interesting!"

Ye Zi's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to be quite interested in Leo's actions just now. She wanted to get to the bottom of it, but the fragrance coming from the front made her forget what she wanted to ask.

"Ahaha, the smell of grilled fish! Leo, let's go eat!"

Ye Zi was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted Leo, then he couldn't wait to rush to the place ahead where there were a large group of buildings.

Leo was not so impatient. He stood on the edge of the cliff he had just climbed, looking at the so-called "Lucario Kingdom" in front of him.

This large building was built on a cliff. The back, where Leo was located, was suspended in the air. Looking to the left and right, one could see that the plain in the distance was connected to the side of the cliff. As for places further away, they were blocked by the buildings and could not be seen clearly.

Looking back at the kingdom, there were a lot of house-like buildings made of wood and stone, which were obviously places to live. In the center of the complex, there was a taller palace, and the materials used were mixed with soil and rocks, which made it look more solid and strong.

Of course, this was Leo applying his own insights to describe the scene in front of him. After all, in such primitive ancient times, there was no such thing as building palaces. Leo was simply applying easy-to-understand concepts to those stone and wooden structures.

But these are not the point.

Leo covered his heart with his paws. It wasn't because something was wrong, but there was an indescribable throbbing that was echoing in his heart.

I looked back and took a bird's-eye view of the lush forest below the cliff.

He took a deep breath and walked into the Lucario Kingdom.

……

"So many, so many Lucarios!"

It has been more than two years since Leo came to this elf world. He has seen all kinds of elves and witnessed many elves of the same race living together. But he never thought that one day he would see so many Lucario and Riolu, playing and frolicking, working, or resting in every corner of this place. Such a scene made Leo feel like he was just in a dream.

"boom".

"Ouch!"

Leo's leg was suddenly bumped. He looked down and saw a little Riolu with stars in its eyes. It bumped into Leo's leg and fell to the ground.

"Be careful."

Smiling and shaking his head, Leo pulled the little guy up from the ground.

Looking at this puppy-like Pokémon, Leo suddenly remembered what he looked like before he evolved.

Back then, once upon a time, he was also a tiny Riolu, exploring and adventuring in this strange world, where he met some very good friends, and after experiencing various things, he was able to evolve.

The image of the little Riolu in front of him gradually overlapped with the image of the little Riolu in the water nearby after it was born from the Pokémon egg.

"What happened to you?"

Little Riolu was touching the place where he hit his head and sniffing his nose, but he found that the Lucario in front of him was looking at him in a daze, so he asked in confusion.

"No, it's nothing. Just remember to be safe when you play."

The little guy's clear voice brought Leo back to his senses. He shook his head, smiled at little Riolu, and planned to continue exploring this kingdom.

But little Riolu blinked and looked at Leo for a while, and the more he looked, the stranger it seemed to him.

Although there are many Lucario and Riolu in the kingdom, for him, the most naughty and smartest child king in the entire kingdom, there is almost no Pokémon he doesn't recognize.

What surprised him was that not only had he never seen this Pokémon in the kingdom before, but judging from his size, he seemed to be much taller and more majestic than his parents or other Lucario. In the entire kingdom, perhaps only the king's size could be compared to his.

So, who is this strange Lucario?

"Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before?"

Thinking of this, Little Leo asked unconsciously at the intersection.
