My Name is Lucario

"Then what about my evolution?"

In a cave dug temporarily to shelter from the wind and rain, Leo lay on the hay and couldn't sleep, staring blankly at the stone wall above.

Unlike many Pokémon that can evolve when they reach a certain level, or those Pokémon that need to evolve with the help of various magical treasures, the evolution of Pokémon like Riolu is a special one. According to the records in the game's illustrations, Riolu must reach a certain level of intimacy or friendship with its trainer before it can evolve into a more powerful form - Lucario.

But for Riolu, a Pokémon with a human heart, it seems so difficult for him to cultivate intimacy or friendship with other human trainers.

"It's over, it's impossible to keep this unevolved body for a lifetime."

Leo is a little depressed.

Riolu is a humanoid Pokémon, which makes Leo, who was a human in his previous life, adapt very quickly. After all, if he was reincarnated as a Pokémon like Mud, Leo would probably collapse mentally just by looking at the limp and smelly mud all over his body; or if he was reincarnated as a Pokémon like Thunderball, which has nothing but a ball, although it is still quite handsome, it is also very unpleasant to have no hands and feet.

Then again, reincarnating as Riolu is quite satisfying in itself, but it is a rather uncomfortable thing for him to keep the state of Riolu.

First of all, Riolu's racial value is not high, only 285 (calculated according to the game value), which is not much different from ordinary Pokémon like Rattata that can be seen everywhere. This means that if it does not evolve, even if Riolu's level is raised to the top, there will be a huge gap with the middle or even top level of this Pokémon world. It may be okay to protect itself, but it is also very difficult to dominate the wild or win various large-scale competitions in the human world.

Secondly, Leo is a large-sized Pokémon. As mentioned above, Leo has roughly checked his overall height and found it to be about 0.8 meters. This is a relatively tall body for a Riolu. Not to mention those giant Pokémons, even compared with ordinary humans, it is only the height of a child. This is a difficult problem for Leo, who still longs to have a body similar to his previous life.

Ordinary Lucario not only has a racial value of 525, but also has a strength close to the final form of the three powerful Pokémons of Fire, Grass and Water in the game. In addition, the height of ordinary Lucario can reach 1.3 to 1.4 meters. If a Lucario that evolves from Leo's already tall body is estimated to be about 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall, it is exactly the standard height of humans in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Leo still yearns for evolution.

"Alas, it's so awkward to be subdued by someone. But if I meet a trainer like Chiye or Zhiye, I can consider it... Spirit life is difficult..."

As he muttered to himself, sleepiness gradually came over him, and he fell into a deep sleep while muttering.

...

It was late at night, and the crescent moon that originally splashed with bright light was also covered by dark clouds.

The stream outside Chaoyang Valley was still flowing.

"Plop", a golden light swam reluctantly in the stream, and finally stopped in a place where the water flow was not so turbulent.

...

Early the next morning.

After a good rest, Leo and Squirtle Boss discussed countermeasures in the rebuilt cabin.

Surrounding the two elves were the remaining higher-level elves in Chaoyang Valley.

Leo also shared the information he had observed. At this point, he didn't care that other Pokémon knew that he had such a magical ability as the "system", just like he had not deliberately concealed the [backpack] function before. Anyway, as the only Riolu in the world, it was not surprising that other Pokémon were unfamiliar with it and mistakenly thought that these magical abilities were innate to Pokémon like Riolu.

"According to my observation, whether it is Nidoking Overlord or his other vassal Pokémon, they all have two abnormal states. One is the 'frenzy' state that we saw in the leader Snorlax or the group of flying Pokémon before; the other is the newly emerged 'mental control' state."

"The known information is that Pokémon in the 'frenzy' state will emit blood-red energy, and their strength will be greatly improved, but at the cost of losing their sanity, and their desire to fight is extremely strong, and their fighting skills will be affected by the loss of sanity.A certain decline. "

"However, from the performance of yesterday, the elves of Overlord Nidoking can still maintain a considerable rationality, and they also have mature combat skills and tactics. I think all the reasons are caused by the new abnormal state of 'mental control'."

"The 'frenzy' state improves their combat power, and the 'mental control state' prevents them from losing their minds."

Speaking of this, the Squirtle boss held his chin with his hand and thought about it.

"Indeed, if it was the previous Nidoking, even if his temper was still as violent as before, he would not be as unreasonable as yesterday, and the poisonous swamp is already a very good place for him and his elves to live. If they came here to provoke disputes yesterday in order to seize the chassis, this doesn't make sense. After all, Chaoyang Valley is not suitable for a group of poison and ground elves. "

"So I boldly guess that Nidoking and his people are all controlled by an unknown force, so all those unreasonable actions are caused by being controlled and brainwashed according to the orders they received. ”

With a snap, Leo slapped the wooden table and made the final conclusion.

“This inexplicable power of mental control is most likely from the elves, so if we want to fight against the elves in the poisonous swamp, we must also guard against the mysterious elf behind it.”

Hearing what he said made sense, the other elves nodded.

“Before discussing how to save our companions,” the Squirtle boss paused and cast his eyes on Butterfree, who was flapping his wings. “Butterfree, I hope you can stay in the valley.”

“Ah, but I also want to join the battle!”

The antennae on Butterfree’s head trembled, with some displeasure on his face.

“You are the highest-level elf left in our valley, and there are still many young elves in the valley now. We can’t be without a guardian, so we can only rely on you.”

Butterfree was silent and sighed secretly. Obviously, she also knew that protecting the elves in Chaoyang Valley was also a very important thing.

“Okay, let’s get to the point. How to rescue our companions, what do you think? ”

Leo looked around and calculated the combat power of the Pokémon present in his mind:

“Most of the Pokémon in the previous battle have been upgraded.”

“Excluding Butterfree, which is the highest level at Lv23, the Pokémon with a level greater than Lv10 that can participate in this operation are only Lv21 Geodude, Lv21 Skank, Lv19 Beedrill, Lv18 Geodude, Lv15 Armor and Monkey King, and Lv14 Goldfish and ordinary Squirtle.”

“And among the Pokémon in the Toxic Swamp last time, in addition to the Overlord Pokémon, there were Lv29 Elite Arbok, Lv24 Elite Sandslash, Lv22 Elite Nidoqueen, and a large number of ordinary Pokémon above Lv10 and some around Lv20.”

“If we go to battle with the Pokémon in the Toxic Swamp with this lineup, the outcome is not optimistic. "

While Leo was thinking, the straightforward Geodude raised his hand and asked Leo's concerns.

"Boss, I don't think our Pokémons are enough to fight those guys."

"Also, how do we deal with the poisonous fog in the Toxic Swamp? Apart from a few Poison Pokémons, we can't stay in the fog for a long time, which will limit our combat ability."

"At present, we are indeed not strong enough to fight alone, so I think we can join forces with the Pokémons of Crescent Lake. In this way, not only will there be more Pokémons to fight together, but the Water Pokémons of Crescent Lake will have the advantage of attribute restraint against those Ground Pokémons, and we can focus on dealing with the Pokémons of the Pokémons."

"As for the poisonous fog, we have an outsider. "

The elves looked at Takuma, who had been silent.

The elves had no objection to Takuma, a human child. After all, when cleaning up and rebuilding the valley yesterday, Takuma helped a lot of elves with his strange mechanical gadgets. The elves in Chaoyang Valley are kind-hearted by nature and will naturally be grateful for Takuma's help. In this way, Takuma got along well with many elves in the valley in a short time.

Seeing the elves' eyes focused on him, Takuma patted his chest confidently.

"Leave it to me. The gas mask I made is not only easy to wear, but also has a good anti-gas effect. It can be effective for up to three days."

As he said, Takuma demonstrated to everyone how the gas mask was triggered and how it would not affect the action after wearing it.

"That's good." Geodude shook himself up and down.'s spherical body, nodding his head in agreement.

"Haha, Takuma, you're awesome!" Squirtle, who was more familiar with Takuma, played with him.

"Leave the poison to me, I'll poke a few holes in them." The belligerent Beedrill rubbed the sharp long thorns on his arms eagerly.

Other elves were also talking about it.

Seeing the morale of the elves rising again, Squirtle boss raised his sunglasses and was about to explain his preset tactics in detail when several panicked shouts came from outside the wooden house.

"No, it's bad, a strange elf fell outside our valley."

The walking grass jumped in in a panic.

Strange elves?

Leo and Squirtle boss looked at each other, turned around and followed everyone out.
