My Name is Lucario

The Yangyan Volcano was surveyed by the Alliance and confirmed to be a dormant volcano - a general term for volcanoes that have erupted but have been relatively dormant for a long time. According to records, the last eruption of the Yangyan Volcano dates back to a thousand years ago. In modern times, this largest volcano in Middel has almost never erupted again. Based on such survey results, the Alliance did not completely ban the volcano.

Therefore, in addition to the famous hot spring industry, Fuquan Town also opened a tourist tour of the Yangyan Volcano to contribute to the town's income.

However, despite this, the rugged mountain road of the Yangyan Volcano and the higher temperature than in the town also stopped many tourists. Only a small number of people who want to challenge themselves - especially Pokémon trainers - are willing to climb this volcano and reach the top of the mountain.

When a large group of tourists came here and blocked the open space in front of the mountain road on the volcano, watching and taking pictures, a small figure ran towards the mountain while no one was paying attention.

As early as when Ming Rizhao and Feng Ling were listening to the story attentively, Leo could no longer hold back his desire to train.

According to his observation, there were no good training places inside or around Fuquan Town: the town was covered with thick white fog, the view was poor, and there were many tourists and dense crowds; and the plains outside the town were covered with falling volcanic ash all year round, which was not a good place to exercise.

In the end, climbing Yangyan Volcano became his choice.

After running out for dozens of meters, there were not many tourists on the mountain road of the volcano. From the hustle and bustle at the entrance to the current alternative silence, Leo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then let's start training."

He looked at the mountain road that was still a long way away.

"Start with long-distance running."

It was as if he had returned to his previous life and did a series of exercises in pursuit of stronger strength.

Long-distance running, weight-bearing strength training, extreme training, etc., a series of training in addition to tempering a stronger body, Leo also had an idea: he wanted to comprehend a more powerful move.

The most skillful moves [Lightning Flash], [Metal Claw], [Brick Break], although they are all powerful moves, and under Leo's imaginative operation, they also play a very good effect, but facing a strong enemy, it is far from being a decisive result. As for the move [Wave Missile] with this effect, it is limited to Leo's own special attack attributes and the ability to control the wave. If it is an unevolved Riolu, this move will not reach the level Leo wants.

Especially facing those seemingly unmatched strong enemies.

In his mind, the extremely fierce and evil figure is like a haze, tightly wrapped and lingering.

"Switch that punch, swing that punch..."

While running, Leo mechanically muttered this sentence in a low voice.

In fact, he shouldn't have been so anxious. He had encountered such a strong enemy in his two lives as a human (elf?). But for some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be a pair of evil black eyes staring at him from behind, chasing him like a flood and a beast, making his whole elf tighten the strings and unable to relax.

It was as if a voice was urgently reminding him: Get stronger, you must get stronger, otherwise it will be too late...

An inexplicable vibration from the volcano woke Leo up from his fantasy.

The vibration was very slight, and if Leo's waveguide detection ability was not extremely sharp, he would not even be able to detect it.

"The volcano is going to erupt? I won't be so unlucky, right?"

Leo laughed at himself for a rare moment.

Feeling it carefully, it seemed that nothing happened, and it was quiet.

For some reason, he missed the elf nectar picked by the big sister of the queen flower.

Putting aside his thoughts, he continued to run in the Yangyan Volcano.

…

“Is this the Pokémon Center in Fuquan Town?”

If a bunch of local residents around him patted their chests to assure him, Ming Rizhao would not be able to tell that the building in front of him was a Pokémon Center.

In fact, the shape of this building does not look like the iconic Poké Ball at all, but rather looks like a hot spring hotel.

The outer wall made of bamboo poles encloses a large area. After walking a few steps, you can see the green bamboo playfully poking out from the house. The Pokémon Center, located in the middle of this area, is three stories high. From time to time, people walk in and out of the entrance. It is no longer the familiar automatic glass door. Instead, there are two cloth curtains with the word "hot spring" written on the left and right. Standing a little further away and looking over, there is a sparse white mist rising from the back of the Pokémon Center, a scene of steaming hot air.

Such an unfamiliar Pokémon Center made Ming Rizhao not know what to do for a while.

"Haha, is this your first time in Fuquan Town?"

A woman in a yukata passed by and saw Asuka and Fengling hesitating about whether to enter the Pokémon Center, and greeted them warmly.

"Hello, yes, this is our first time here. Are there any requirements for entering this Pokémon Center?"

"Requirements? No, just go in openly. This is a place open to everyone."

At this time, the woman noticed that Asuka and Fengling were both carrying Pokémons.

"Are you Pokémon trainers? In that case, you can enjoy the hot springs here for free with your trainer's certificate!"

Hot springs!

Upon hearing this, Asuka and Fengling's eyes lit up.

During the journey in the wild, although you can use the occasional water source and the bathroom provided by the Pokémon Center to wash, this hurried washing is definitely not as good as enjoying a comfortable hot spring. Moreover, on the way to Fuquan Town, the volcanic ash plain they passed by made the two girls covered with dust all over their bodies, and they had long wanted to wash immediately.

"But I'm not a Pokémon trainer."

Feng Ling was a little frustrated.

The woman with long fiery red hair waved her hand generously.

"It's okay, I can bring a few more people. Meeting is fate. Let's go in and take a hot spring bath together."

"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Asuka, and this is Feng Ling. Hello, sister."

"You, hello."

The woman raised her eyebrows after hearing their names, then smiled and stretched out her hand to shake hands with the two of them.

"Hello, my name is Yasha."

I always felt that this name seemed to have been heard somewhere. Asuka, who was a little dazed, was pulled by the enthusiastic big sister to this unique Pokémon Center.

…

The entrance of Fuquan Town was still crowded with people. After a long journey, many tourists wanted to go straight to the hot spring shops scattered around the town to take a nice bath to relieve their physical fatigue.

Among them, a boy with a Pikachu standing on his shoulder looking around was also in the crowd.

Ye Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, we are finally in Fuquan Town. If I had known that the cable car to Liuming Mountain could not be taken, I would have taken the train. It was too tiring to walk all the way here."

"Pika Pika!"

Pikachu shook its tail in agreement.

"However, there are still some gains on the journey."

Ye Yueyao took a Poké Ball from his waist and said with a smile.

"You said so, right? Frog!"

The Poké Ball emitted some water vapor, and then shook it to show its agreement.

…

Somewhere.

On the table in front of the mysterious man, a row of black Poké Balls were lined up.

From left to right, they are: a Poké Ball covered with a thin layer of flame, a Poké Ball condensed with frost, a Poké Ball flowing with electricity, a Poké Ball dripping with sand, a Poké Ball shining with a steel luster, a Poké Ball overflowing with cold air, a Poké Ball that makes the sound of rushing waves, and a Poké Ball slightly floating in the air on the far right.

Opening his dark eyes, the man stared at the empty space.

"It's almost time, the day when my Lord wakes up is coming soon."

"The plan is not yet completed, we must hurry up."

"This time, I can't let... hinder me."

The man silently recited a name.

...

At a moment when no one noticed, the wheel of fate rolled forward.
