My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Leo thought that after crossing the time rift, he would be able to quickly reunite with Asuka and his companions.

But in fact, he was wrong.

"What the hell is this place? It's freezing!"

Coming out from the time crack was a strong cold wind that made Leo's scalp tingle.

He looked around and all he saw was white ice and snow. The surrounding cliffs were covered with thick snow, and the crooked trees that grew there were now bare.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", the wind mixed with snow began to blow impatiently.

Even though Leo was not a meteorological expert, he knew that this place might experience a heavy snowstorm.

"Hiss, let's find a place to hide first."

Leo used his excellent ability to find caves and found a two-meter-wide cave entrance under the cliff not far away.

At this time, the wind was blowing harder and harder, and the snow on the ground was blown away. In just a short moment of exploring the cave outside, Leo's body was already covered with a lot of frost.

If he didn't get into the cave quickly, not to mention the freezing temperature, the overwhelming snow tide would be enough to put Leo's life in danger.

Therefore, he didn't care whether there was a "master" in the cave or not. He shivered, crouched, and jumped straight in.

Unexpectedly, the cave is not small, and it is much warmer inside the cave, probably because it is located inside the mountain and has underground heat.

Leo, who was shivering from the cold, felt like he was alive again after entering the cave.

It was just that this scene of hiding in the cave gave him a very subtle sense of déjà vu.

“Ahaha, I’m not expecting Lucario to meet me here…”

He complained, but before he could finish his words, he saw a pair of sparkling eyes in the dark cave, staring at him with a hint of fear and vigilance.

……

In the pure white permafrost of the Xiancui area, snowstorms are not uncommon.

Whenever a snowstorm is about to come, whether elves or humans, they will not go against nature at this time, but choose to stay in a place where they can hide and wait for the blizzard to pass.

Therefore, there are many caves in the pure white permafrost. Some of them were dug by the elves, and some were dug by the pearl settlements living on the edge of the permafrost. Their purpose is to provide a temporary shelter for those creatures, humans or elves who cannot return to their residence in time, so that they don’t have to die in the blizzard.

Another fierce snowstorm blew by, and the creatures accustomed to it quietly waited for this natural phenomenon to end.

The wind gradually died down and the snow fell back to the ground. When everything stopped, the creatures returned to the outside world and continued their normal activities.

There was a layer of snow piled up at the bottom of a cliff. At this moment, there was some movement in the snow, and suddenly, two heads popped out.

……

When they saw another Pokémon next to them, both Lucarios were startled.

Leo glanced at it and thought he had met Leaf again, but he quickly rejected this absurd guess. Not only because Lucario Leaf should have existed in a time earlier than the time he traveled through, but also because this Lucario didn't look like Leaf at all.

Although they have similar elf appearance, their temperaments are completely opposite.

Although Ye Zi is quite greedy and his fighting ability is average, he displays a high-spirited mental state.

But the Lucario in front of him looked timid, and seemed to be wary and worried about many things, which was completely different from the confident and positive state of the companions in the Lucario Kingdom that Leo knew.

……

The other Lucario was surprised at the intrusion of this fellow Lucario, whose size was almost the same as the king of the glorious kingdom that the elders said once existed. But other than that, he maintained his usual vigilance and did not let down his guard just because he saw someone with the same appearance as himself.

It's because over the years, their Lucario clan has been hunted down by the forces sent by the dark power and had to hide everywhere. If it weren't for the protection of the God of Will of the Lake of Wisdom, I'm afraid there would no longer be elves like Lucario in this world.

There are many dark forces that have the means to disguise the appearance of Pokémon, and many companions have warned that if you encounter Lucario in the wild, you must not take it lightly.

……

Just like that, the two Lucarios stared at each other, and maintained this state until the snowstorm stopped.

For the other Lucario who was waiting anxiously, the most important thing was to get away from this Lucario who he didn't know whether it was real or fake as soon as possible. But before he could start to escape, he stopped.

Because a blue waveguide slowly lit up in front of him.

……

Following the elf named "Xiaoou", Leo came to the gathering place of Lucarios on this land.

"Thirty... only thirty..."

Looking at the fact that there were only thirty of his own kind left around him except for some who went out hunting, sadness and anger mixed into a complex emotion that echoed in his heart.

The number of elves and elf eggs that were transferred away in the ancient times was much more than just this small. How come in this era, their own race has declined like this?

Lucario, the oldest of the tribe, led Leo to a mural.

Time has left long-lasting traces on this mural. Perhaps due to being blown by wind, sand, rain and snow for a long time, many pictures on the mural have become blurred or even incomplete. However, the part at the bottom is the best protected, and it is the only part where Leo can understand what is painted.

It was an elf of slightly larger size. There was a plate of fire in front of it. It stretched out its hand, holding some skewers of food and roasting them over the fire. There were many smaller elves surrounding it, seemingly waiting for it to finish roasting the food.

Touching the mottled scratches on the mural, Leo's tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

How could he not see that this was when he was grilling kebabs for the little ones in the kingdom, and the one who could have drawn this picture must be the Lucario Leaf that often pestered Leo, wanting to eat more delicious food.

According to the narration of the older Lucario, in the history that has been passed down to the present, the leader of the Lucario, Ye Zi, led the Lucario tribe to start a new life in this new land.

Life was good at the beginning. Although it was always difficult to adapt to the new environment, both Riolu and Lucario had skills inherited from the legendary kingdom, so the Lucario clan developed rapidly.

But the good times did not last long. For unknown reasons, a mysterious force drove many forces to encircle and suppress the Lucario clan.

The Lucario tribe's leader at the time, Ye Zi, led the tribe's warriors in an angry fight back, but the dark forces dispatched by those forces were too terrifying, and no elf in the tribe could contend with it. As a last resort, Ye Zi could only abandon the settlement that had been developed with great difficulty, and lead the Lucario tribe to hide everywhere, trying to avoid the siege of those dark forces.

However, the dark forces were relentless in their pursuit, and the Lucario clan was constantly losing manpower during their escape. As a result, the clan’s survival situation once fell into an extremely dangerous situation.

Fortunately, after arriving at this place called Xiancui, they received help from many elven tribes and the protection of the God of Will in the Lake of Wisdom. The remaining elves of the Lucario clan were able to settle down here.

But the remaining elves are less than one-tenth of the number when they escaped.

In recent years, perhaps because the Lucario clan is rare in number and they act cautiously, there have not been many sightings from the outside world, which has led to the dark forces gradually forgetting about them.

The Lucario clan can be said to have truly survived.
