Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

Fireworks in the sky were bursting into a dazzling display.

Lucario was somewhat confused.

Ordron was still shrouded in the shadow of war.

But now, in this harmonious town, there is no trace of war.

Is the war... over?

Lucario wandered aimlessly through the city of Ordron.

But as they walked, they unconsciously arrived at a place filled with memories of Aaron.

Lucario takes each step.

Then a scene flashed by.

The scenes from the past were presented to the audience in a gray tone.

It was at this point that viewers watching the live stream began to truly learn about Aaron and Lucario.

The scene depicts Lucario and Aaron going from strangers to acquaintances.

They are each other's most important partners along the way.

At the end of the path, everything that once belonged to Alan is displayed.

The study of Alan's former residence has been transformed into an exhibition hall.

The traces of Lucario's past life with Alan have been transformed into cold display cases.

Even now, Lucario cannot accept all of this.

What exactly happened, and why did the war suddenly end?

Ordron did not disappear because of the war.

So... what is the significance of its presence here now?

Why won't Lord Alan let me follow him in death?

"Lucario."

A soft voice sounded from behind Lucario, and the alert Lucario turned around instantly.

Through the light coming through the window, Lucario vaguely saw a familiar figure.

The figure was almost identical to Queen Lynn of Ordron!

'Your Highness Lynn!'

Lucario instantly became excited. Princess Lynn was still alive, which meant that Lord Aaron was also still alive!

however.

"Snapped"

The room lights were turned on by Eileen's mother-in-law, who was sitting next to her.

The bright white light in the room illuminated the room with exceptional clarity.

Lucario's expression froze.

She was not Princess Lynn, despite the striking resemblance between the person before her.

But she is not Princess Lynn.

“Princess Lynn is my ancestor. I am the current Queen of Orudron City, and my name is Eileen.”

As Eileen spoke, she walked toward Lucario.

And when he reached Lucario, he pulled Lucario into his arms.

"You have been in a state of deep sleep."

'Sleeping...'

"A long time has passed."

'How could this be!'

In an instant!

Lucario's pupils suddenly contracted!

Lucario broke free from Erin's embrace, its body involuntarily retreating backward!

Lucario was somewhat incredulous, but the truth was right before his eyes.

And all the changes around them now seemed reasonable.

But Lucario still refused to believe it.

'Until yesterday, this was still our room!'

"For you, it may have just happened yesterday, but for us it was a thousand years ago, a very, very long time ago."

Lucario turned away, his eyes vacant.

The sudden news was unbelievable to him.

Lucario leaned weakly against the display case in front of him; everything seemed so unfamiliar.

And what about Lord Aaron?

They just met yesterday!

A thousand years... a thousand years have actually passed!

Everything that was once familiar has disappeared.

Why did you leave me all alone?!

Chapter 75 Celebrate! The Birth of the Aura Hero!

[Cynthia: Time is so merciless. For you and me, this is just a live broadcast, but for Lucario, it's a wait spanning a thousand years.]

Sonia: I understand that feeling. Every time I encounter history, it's from countless years ago. Lucario is the same. He just opened his eyes and found himself in a world a thousand years in the future. What do all his past efforts amount to then?

[Masted: I thought I would see the light of day again and be able to see Aaron again, but I never expected this scene.]

[Michael: The loneliness of feeling out of place in the world is the hardest to bear. Familiar people and things have all become strange. Just thinking about it is painful.]

[Shiba: Alas, even someone as resolute as Lucario cannot bear the pain of time passing.]

Everyone expressed their sympathy for Lucario's plight.

Even the most determined Fighting-type Pokémon.

Even things become vulnerable when faced with something as unstoppable as time.

I just hope Lucario can get out of this situation on his own.

Otherwise, one will remain trapped in a vortex of memories.

That would be even more painful.

……

In the picture—

In the palace of Ordron.

On the high platform, Eileen sat in the main seat.

Ash and the others stood beside Irene's throne.

As for the bottom.

Lucario is kneeling.

Just like back then.

Irene first inquired about the situation back then, and then told Lucario the legend.

After learning that he was sealed away, Aaron sacrificed himself to save the entire city of Ordron.

Lucario was initially incredulous.

I find it absurd.

Then came anger.

After all, in Lucario's memory, Aaron had said things like he wanted to abandon the castle in front of it.

It was also to prevent himself from stopping him from leaving.

Aaron sealed it inside his cane.

After an enraged Lucario recounted everything...

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat awkward.

The legend doesn't seem to make some sense.

Even though Irene said that Lucario could treat the castle as his home, the atmosphere was still somewhat oppressive.

In this extremely oppressive atmosphere.
