"Let's go back to Orudran City and receive the glory we deserve."
..........................................................................................
"Dear heroes, welcome back!"
As soon as everyone stepped into the gate of Orudran City, all the salutes that had been prepared long ago were fired, and colorful ribbons filled the sky and sprinkled on everyone.
Queen Irene took the initiative to come to the city gate and led all the residents in the city to welcome the triumphant return of the heroes who saved the World Tree with the highest standard ceremony.
Although Gongsun Yan and others had seen the world, they were still a little weak in the face of such a grand scene.
There were a few fanatical women in particular, whose eyes looked as if they wanted to eat everyone alive, causing Xiaozhi, the leader, to not dare to move forward.
Legend has it that a ceremony of this scale was designed by Queen Lynn specifically for Aaron, but Aaron never saw this ceremony in his life. But Xiaozhi, his reincarnation, saw it, so it can be considered a perfect deed.
Chapter 222 A Historic Handshake
Amid the welcome of the residents of Orudran City, Gongsun Yan and others entered the palace. A banquet had already been prepared, and they were waiting for everyone to take a seat.
And because there were no outsiders at this banquet, everyone's Pokémon were all released and assigned their own seats.
Even Rayquaza, who had been paddling all day, had a seat of his own, but given his size, this seat seemed a little small.
But it's not a big problem. Although it wasn't mentioned before, every first-level god actually has the ability to control his own body size. (Additional settings are here.)
Otherwise, if the huge size of the divine beasts is maintained, the consumption would be too great.
However, this ability also has its limits. It cannot be infinitely enlarged or infinitely reduced, so Rayquaza can only be barely squeezed into the space.
Similarly, Groudon also entered the position, but these two great gods actually didn't need to eat, they were just simply curious about the format of the banquet.
Originally, these two wanted to attend the banquet yesterday, but there were too many people at the time, and these two were too famous, so releasing them would definitely cause panic.
Rayquaza and Groudon also understood Gongsun Yan's difficulties and calmed down sensibly, but the more they did so, the more guilty Gongsun Yan felt.
Those who carry firewood for the people should not be choked by the wind and snow; those who pave the way for freedom should not be trapped by thorns.
People always say that crying children are the most pitiful, but those honest children have done nothing wrong, so we cannot ignore them just because they are more sensible.
But it’s a shame to say that even though Gongsun Yan understands this truth, he often ignores those who are too obedient, and the same goes for Pokémon.
So Gongsun Yan made a decision last night that he must provide Rayquaza and Groudon with a banquet that they could attend.
In the end, Gongsun Yan didn't even have to take any action, as Queen Irene had arranged everything, which smoothed out the knot in Gongsun Yan's heart.
Although justice may be late, it will never be absent. But for the parties involved, is late justice really justice?
Therefore, Gongsun Yan has always been the type who can repay a grudge later, but must repay a favor immediately, at least to prevent the person who did the good deed from feeling disheartened.
Since they didn't have to eat the food, Rayquaza and Groudon only took two symbolic bites and then stopped, enjoying the atmosphere of the banquet.
To be frank, they may be the first Pokémon in their respective groups to attend the banquet. This historic moment must be remembered well, and maybe they can still recall it in the future.
However, compared to these two great gods who would not eat human food, Menghuan and Machado stood out much more. The two even quarreled over a piece of cream cake, causing everyone present to laugh.
That's right, after Satoshi successfully became the Rainbow Hero, Machado did not turn around and leave Satoshi, but he also did not agree to Satoshi's capture. He just quietly hid in Satoshi's shadow, indicating his intention to follow Satoshi.
Just as everyone was seated, Machado unceremoniously jumped out from Xiaozhi's shadow and ran straight to the dessert area on the table, just bumping into Mew.
It must be said that these cute-looking Pokémon seem to have one thing in common, which is that they like sweets. Even Pikachu is no exception. In his mind, sweets may be only half a level lower than ketchup.
While everyone and the Pokémon were enjoying the banquet there, the two protagonists who saved the World Tree were not at the table, but standing under the painting of Alang in the hall.
"Alan, he is really an amazing person~"
Xiaozhi holds a scepter in his hand and wears the same Bird Hero costume as Yalang. The gloves on his hands are Yalang's original ones. He and Yalang in the scroll are simply cast in the same mold.
The only difference may be that Yalang looks so mature and full of masculine charm that everyone who sees him can't help but have a good impression of him.
In comparison, Xiaozhi looks a little immature, probably because he is a child and hasn't grown up yet. His appearance is also far from good, but he also has a magical sense of affinity.
However, in Lucario's opinion, there is no sense of incongruity between the two. After all, he has been following since Aaron was his age, so he naturally knows what Aaron looked like back then.
Back then, Aaron was just like Xiaozhi, full of energy and loved Pokémon. Even he was attracted by Aaron's affinity rather than his waveguide.
Lucario carefully stroked the scroll in the hall, but in his eyes there was not only the adult Wave Warrior holding the scepter, but also the Wave Warrior standing next to him.
Since when, every wave hero will be followed by a Lucario, and this Lucario is basically his initial Pokémon, and it is often Riolu who takes the initiative to come to him.
With the strength of Ash's Wave, even if it hasn't awakened yet, he should be able to attract his Riolu. How come there isn't even a single Pokémon that can use Wave until now?
Thinking back to what happened in the World Tree before, a slightly bizarre idea suddenly appeared in Lucario's mind, and it became more and more firm as time went by.
"Hey, Xiaozhi." Lucario's voice rang out from Xiaozhi's heart, attracting Xiaozhi's attention.
"Huh? Lucario, what's wrong?" Xiaozhi turned his head puzzledly and looked at the partner who had just been through life and death with him.
"Please give me your guidance in the future!" This Lucario from a thousand years ago stretched out his right hand to Xiaozhi, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Ah, thank you for your guidance!" Although Xiaozhi didn't know what Lucario was thinking, it didn't stop him from responding enthusiastically.
"Kacha!"
"Well, it's a really good picture. A proud warrior who has gone through thousands of years, Lucario who swears to defend his honor, and the new Rainbow Hero, the greatest wave hero in the world, Satoshi from Pallet Town, holding hands like fate. Get it!"
At the moment when Xiaozhi and Lucario shook hands, Gongsun Yan appeared beside them out of nowhere and took this historic photo.
"Hmm, wait, why is there something wrong with the scroll in this photo?"
Chapter 223 Let go of the past and embrace the future
"Hmm, wait, why is there something wrong with the scroll in this photo?"
Gongsun Yan was admiring the deep friendship between Xiaozhi and Lucario, but suddenly he found something strange in the photo, which deviated from his memory.
"Huh? It seems so. How come?"
After seeing the camera handed over by Gongsun Yan, Xiaozhi immediately realized something was wrong.
Think about it, even a stupid person like Xiaozhi... no, even a person with such a thick nerve can notice what's wrong, which shows how obvious the difference is.
So what’s wrong? In the painting, Aaron was alone, but suddenly a Lucario appeared beside him, and they raised the scepter together.
"Oh, is that so? I think I understand."
"Hmm? Xiaoyan, do you know why?"
Gongsun Yan made an expression as if to see what was going on, and looked at the painting in a mysterious way that had suddenly changed.
Xiaozhi on the side obviously had not figured out the key, but Xiaozhi had an advantage, that was he would ask if he didn't understand, without feeling embarrassed at all.
Gongsun Yan would never support such an idea, but he had to admit one thing, that is, such a lifestyle is really restrictive.
As long as you can find a friend you can trust completely, this is really not a difficult thing in the world of Pokémon.
"Ahem, well, you need to figure this out on your own. If you explain it out loud, you won't have that feeling anymore."
Gongsun Yan coughed twice in a very artificial manner, looking mysterious.
Generally speaking, if someone shows such an expression, it means that he is pretending to know something.
Gongsun Yan is obviously in this situation now. He has not actually realized anything, but he has to maintain this mysterious image.
By the way, he learned this from a man with a magenta camera. That man is really a genius at pretending to be confused.
However, Gongsun Yan and Wang Xiaoming are different. He really understands something, while Brother Xiaoming pretends to know everything, but you can't tell that he is pretending.
The truth is actually very simple. Lucario let go of his past and embraced a future with infinite possibilities.
The reason why Lucario has not appeared in the scroll before is because Lucario has not let go of his past.
And just now, Lucario was put down, so as a former legend, he naturally appeared next to Aaron.
I have to mention here that letting go of the past does not mean forgetting it.
How could Lucario forget the years he spent with Aram? Those were his most precious memories!
But cherishing those memories does not mean being bound by them, otherwise you will just become a unlucky person living in the past.
If everyone's experiences were written into a book, the books about those heroes who left their names in history would naturally be magnificent.
But ordinary people's books will also be filled up. In this respect, fate is fair.
Although Lucario's first half of his life was short, he had already filled up the book that belonged to him. If he wanted to continue writing about his life, he would either have to erase the contents of the book or start a new one.
Apparently, Lucario chose to open another book, leaving his original legend in the past, and now he will have a new beginning.
For some reason, ever since Gongsun Yan thought of this, he always felt that Aaron in the scroll was smiling at Xiaozhi and Lucario.
In fact, to outsiders, this scene should be a very heartwarming scene, a continuation of the old and new legends.
But for Gongsun Yan, who had seen countless horror movies in his previous life, it was indeed a bit scary.
..........................................................................................
"Ah, I'll leave Xiaozhi and the others in your care. I have some things to do here. Remember not to let Xiaozhi continue to show off. His condition is so bad, and he doesn't even plan to go to the doctor. How shameless."
Gongsun Yan turned over and sat on the broad back of Baofeilong, and began to give instructions to Xiaogang and others beside him.
"Of course we know that. We will definitely not let this guy continue to mess around."
As Xiaogang is like an old father figure in the team, he naturally agreed first and said that he would not let Xiaozhi go easily.
So what happened? Actually, after the supernatural incident, when Xiaozhi was excitedly preparing to go to the table for a big meal, he fell down without any warning.
This scared everyone present, including Queen Irene, who was even more anxious than Lucario.
Although there was no spark of love between Queen Irene and Satoshi due to the big age difference between her and Satoshi, it does not mean that Queen Irene does not care about Satoshi.
After all, Xiaozhi is the reincarnation of her ancestor. Isn't it normal for her to love Xiaozhi and care about him?
In short, after Xiaozhi fell down, Queen Irene summoned the doctor in the palace almost immediately, and even all the doctors in the city were called by her to treat Xiaozhi.
In the end, Queen Irene even had the idea of looking for Miss Joy, which shows how confused Queen Irene's mind is now.
But in a sense, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with doing this. After all, everyone knows about Xiaozhi's physique.
Finally, after a joint consultation with nearly ten doctors, it was concluded that Xiaozhi's current condition was actually very simple. It was just that there was excessive accumulation of lactic acid and its other metabolites in the body, which caused muscle tension to decrease and exercise endurance to decrease.
To put it simply, I'm just exhausted. I just need to have a good sleep and eat something good.
However, Xiaozhi's condition was a little serious, and more than one doctor reminded them that Xiaozhi would need to rest for at least two weeks before he could recover.
Although there was nothing wrong with the doctor's diagnosis, Gongsun Yan and others almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
The doctor was afraid that they didn't know medical knowledge, and they laughed at the doctor for not knowing what a true rookie was. With Xiaozhi's physical condition, he needed to rest for two weeks? Two days was enough!
However, the doctor's advice is still for reference. Even if Xiaozhi does not need to rest for such a long time, he still needs to have a good rest for a day.
After all, Satoshi is a real rookie, not a Saiyan. The power of Wave is obviously not as good as the power of Tokiwa, which is a professional healer, in terms of self-healing. That's why Gongsun Yan told them to keep an eye on Satoshi.
Chapter 224: Orudran City Made a Fortune
"Ah, I actually wasted so much time with that bastard. But it's not a big waste. I heard that Xiaozhi ate up all the food in the palace of Orudran City for a week, and he has just set off."
Gongsun Yan sat on the broad back of the fossil pterosaur, admiring the scenery along the way while chatting on the phone with Liliae using Pokémon Navigator.
"Hahaha, that's exactly what happened. Xiaozhi's physique is indeed beyond common sense."
Liliae on the other end of the phone described in vivid detail how Ash and Lucario had cleared out a week's worth of supplies from the palace, exhausting the doctor and the chef.
It goes without saying that the chefs are very tired. If it weren't for their superb skills and a few Pokémon helping them, they would not be able to prepare so many dishes in such a short time even if they died of exhaustion.
As for the doctor, he was simply in a hurry. A patient who was confirmed by all of them to need bed rest just woke up, so he threw off the quilt, rushed over and ate everyone's lunch.
Well, anyway, by the time they received the news and rushed to the palace, Xiaozhi had already eaten one round and was now eating the second round.
To be honest, when the doctors heard the news about Xiaozhi at first, they thought someone was playing a trick on them. According to their calculations, Xiaozhi would not be able to wake up within three days.
Even if the patient woke up unexpectedly, he would not have the energy to get up, let alone overeat.
So several doctors were silently complaining in their hearts when they came here. If it wasn't for the Queen's order, they would never have come.
But when they walked into the hall, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. The maids in the palace were serving dishes continuously, but their serving speed could not even keep up with the speed of removing the plates.
It is said that several doctors rushed over and tried to pull Xiaozhi away, but they couldn't even pull Xiaozhi away.
Maybe Xiaozhi was really hungry at that time. After arriving at the hall, he actually sat directly on the upper seat and stuffed the food in front of him into his mouth.
To be honest, this scene scared everyone present. They were not worried about Xiaozhi's health. After all, they absolutely trusted Xiaozhi's health. But they thought that this behavior was a bit presumptuous.
Although the Alliance rules the world now, Queen Irene's throne is also recognized.
