My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Even though she was the one who was knocked down, Queen Lucario didn't care that she was still sitting on the ground. She spoke first and asked in a caring tone, "Are you okay?"

When she looked up, the queen seemed a little dazed.

The tall Lucario in front of him somehow looked somewhat similar to the king he spent time with day and night.

"H-I'm sorry, are you...are you okay?"

Leo helped the queen up with a complicated expression. The warmth of their palms touching each other made him feel unreal. He even stuttered when speaking because of his nervousness.

"I'm fine. It's my fault that I was in a hurry and didn't look at the road... Hey, why are you crying?"

Although she was a queen of noble status, her words were full of apology, as if she didn't want the other party to blame her for this.

As the queen said this, she always had a feeling that the Lucario in front of her, although tall and strong, was obviously not a young Pokémon, but in her eyes, it seemed like a child.

She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently stroke the "child's" face.

If other Pokémon could see this scene, they would definitely find it strange. It was clearly a shorter Lucario comforting another taller Lucario, but it was as gentle and harmonious as a mother comforting her child.

The cool dampness woke the queen up.

At some point, tears welled up in Leo's eyes.

……

Two Lucarios, one big and one small, sat aside.

Leo told his own story, but he did not directly reveal his identity, nor did he talk about things in the future. Instead, he set the story in the context of this super ancient era.

He said that he had never seen his parents since he was born, but his parents did not abandon him, because his father and mother were both the best spirits, and they must have been forced to part with him for some reason. He could understand, but at some point, he would miss his parents whom he had never met, and his hometown which he did not know where it was.

He said that he once had a very long dream, in which he saw a world completely different from the elf world. There were no elves there, only creatures called humans. Humans could not fly like flying elves, but they could sit on something called an airplane and soar into the sky. They could not dive like water elves, but they could sit in a "ship" or "submarine" and ride on the ocean. In that dream, he was the most famous fighter, but after waking up, he returned to the original world. To this day, he can't tell whether he had that dream or the him in the dream dreamed of himself.

He said that he had fought with many powerful elves and was covered with wounds, not only on his body, but also in his heart. Those wounds made him feel very uncomfortable, but he could not show it because he was the pillar of support for other elves, so he had to be strong. But sometimes, those wounds really hurt, very much.

He said that he had met many good friends who would try their best to rescue him when he was in danger. He played and laughed with his friends, went on adventures and traveled together. Even though he often struggled to escape, those were his happiest times.

Leo talked a lot, and the queen listened quietly beside him.

Even though she didn't quite understand some of the content, it didn't stop her from feeling her emotions fluctuate as Leo told the story.

When the queen heard Leo say that he was injured, her heart would tighten. When she heard Leo talk about the interesting stories of other elves, the queen couldn't help but smile. When she heard Leo talk about his longing for his parents in a low voice, a strong sense of heartache appeared inexplicably in the queen's heart.

"This child must have had a hard time."

The queen reached out her hands and held Leo in her arms as she often did with the young elves, stroking his head gently and humming a ballad softly.

Leo was tired of talking, his eyes gradually closed and he fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, King Lucario, wearing a crown, came out and was about to say something when he was stopped by the queen.

"Shh, don't talk, let the kid have a good rest. He must be very tired after going through so much."

Gently rubbing the worry from Leo's brow, the queen spoke lovingly.

The king looked at Leo's face with a complicated expression.

As smart as he is, how could he not see the identity of this strange Lucario that appeared out of nowhere? It can use the pure waveguide that only royal blood can use, and its size is different from that of ordinary Lucario. More importantly, it has a name.

It happened to be the name he had given to the elf who would inherit the kingdom after discussing it with the queen a few days ago.

After a long while, the king finally spoke.

"Leo."

The queen misunderstood and pointed to another room.

"Our baby hasn't been born yet."

The king shook his head and placed his own hand on Leo's head as well.

Suddenly, the azure waveguide light lit up.

The same light shone not only on the king's hands, but also on Leo's body.

The queen was a little confused, but soon, she, who was very smart, came to her senses.

“Is it possible???”

The king sighed.

"I guess, he's our child, Leo."

……

From that day on, Leo lived in Lucario Kingdom.

He seemed to have a tacit understanding with both the king and the queen. They did not directly reveal each other's identities, but retained this subtle feeling and continued to get along with each other.

But it seemed that this unbreakable barrier made Queen Lucario love Leo even more.

"Is it delicious? If it's delicious, eat more!"

Whenever the queen smiled and looked on, Leo would force himself to swallow a few pieces of food in order not to offend the queen, even though he was full.

It has to be said that although the cooking techniques in this super ancient era were relatively primitive and rough, the ingredients were really rich and original. Therefore, even though they were simply roasted or boiled, the taste was still not inferior to that of the future world.

If Leo's modern cooking skills and the various seasonings in his backpack are combined, the food he cooks will make Leo the most popular elf in the entire kingdom.

"Leo, Leo, I want another one!"

"Ah, you can't cut in line, it's my turn now."

"I also want!"

A large group of little Riolu rushed to Leo, fearing that they would miss out on the delicious food if they were slow.

At this time, Leo was wearing an apron and a chef's hat, and was cooking the animal he had hunted in the wild. He didn't know whether it was a sheep or a cow, but the meat was quite delicious.

Praise the invincible [backpack], which allows him to continue to eat food that suits his taste in such a primitive era.

Riolu, who got the skewers of meat, was happily eating them. Especially the child king Riolu who had questioned Leo before, has now become Leo's most loyal fan, the type who would never go right but left. So, he got an extra skewer of meat specially grilled by Leo as a reward. Little Riolu held two large skewers of meat in his hands and walked with his head held high.

Those Riolu who hadn't had their turn yet were staring at the skewers of meat rotating on the grill, waiting anxiously while trying to hold back their saliva. God knows that they were used to eating the fruits of primitive trees - although the taste was not bad, they were tired of it after all, and often ate half-cooked meat - the ancient cooking techniques were very different from modern ones. This time, Riolu's sudden barbecue conquered all the young elves in the kingdom at once.

It’s not that the older Lucarios aren’t greedy, it’s just that these Pokémon are more concerned about their reputation and don’t dare to risk their lives to snatch food from the little ones.

Oh, that’s not right. A greedy Lucario can’t care less.

"Is it ready? Is it ready? I think it's almost cooked and can be eaten, right?"

Ye Zi kept urging Leo, and even wanted to secretly stretch out her claws to take away the grilled skewers of meat next to her.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just wait a moment."

Leo slapped the thief's hand away and glared at the greedy guy.

No wonder this girl brought me back to the kingdom so readily. Apart from her stupidity and naivety, the fruit that Leo gave her, which was not available in this era, probably also played a significant role.

After working for a while, he finally finished roasting all the meat skewered with branches.

"call……"

Leo breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked around.

The little Riolus sitting in a circle around Leo were eating with relish, and a conspicuous big Lulu Kallio was licking his paws with endless aftertaste. When he saw Leo's gaze, he didn't forget to reveal a sweet smile, and then.

"Hiccup~"

A long burp scared the surrounding Riolu, who thought some giant beast had broken in.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Leo looked at his fellow tribesmen around him who looked similar to him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This period of time can be said to be the most relaxing and comfortable time for him in this elf world.

In the morning, he goes out hunting with the Lucarios, or trains and fights with them. After a rest at noon, he plays with the little Riolus that cling to him in the afternoon, or cooks delicious food for the little guys. In the evening, he returns to his residence, receives the love and feeding from the queen, and chats with the king. Late at night, he goes back to bed and falls asleep without having to worry about all kinds of messy things.

Leo estimated that if he had a scale these days, he would definitely see that his weight was increasing rapidly.

But this feeling is no different from being at home.

Or rather, this should have been his home.

……

It’s a pity that the family was destroyed in the end.

He stood in front of the time crack and looked back for the last time.
