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

They all smiled gently.

The same applies to Musashi and Kojiro.

After reuniting with Meow Meow, they immediately encountered the changes in the World Tree.

They thought they would have to part ways with Meow Meow again.

Unexpectedly, the danger turned into safety in the end.

The two people and the cat hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces.

Everything seemed to be moving in the best possible direction.

However, hidden beneath all the beauty was a tragic ending.

Lucario

[Korne: My dog! My dog! You are so gentle!]

[Professor Kukui: Who can argue with that? Lucario, with its Aura power, is the Pokémon most capable of sensing its trainer's feelings.]

[Daiwu: I've realized I'm starting to like Lucario too. I've decided, I'll go to the breeding center in the next few days and pick out a Riolu egg.]

[Hanako: I wonder if Lucario is alright. If it can survive, that would be the best outcome.]

[Cynthia: Although I wish it were so, Lucario's final burst of Aura power consumed his own life force.]

Cynthia did not finish her sentence.

But that's enough.

Everyone understood that Lucario's death was inevitable.

[Rosamune: Waaaa, I've shipped CPBE! You've done so many bad things in the livestream!]

[Cattleya: Who says otherwise! If Lucario had accepted Ash's power back then and used Aura to transmit it to Mew, maybe both of them would have survived, and Lucario would definitely have become Ash's Pokémon!]

Sabrina: It's no use, this Lucario has lost the will to survive.

【audience:……】

As expected of you, Sabrina!

He really is a superpowered person without any emotions!

But it was precisely because of Nazi's words that everyone felt less upset.

They lost their will to live.

Therefore, Lucario's fate was already sealed.

I just hope Lucario can meet its trainer after it dies.

This can be considered the final happy ending.

……

In the picture—

The entire World Tree eventually returned to its original state.

The blue crystals illuminated the entire cave.

Everything seemed so wonderful.

Qiduo can be considered to have had a change of heart.

She used the device to contact her companion Banks.

He also instructed the other party not to distribute any information about the World Tree.

This can be considered her way of redeeming Lucario.

Even if the entire adventure seems perfect.

But her future life will be filled with regrets from those memories.

at this time.

Having exhausted its last bit of life force, Lucario stumbled and lay down beside the crystal where Aaron had died.

Blue arcs of electricity occasionally crackled from Lucario's body.

Its body is on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, even if it meant death.

It also died beside Aaron.

And in this final period of time, they also learned the truth about what happened back then.

I have no regrets.

At that moment, Ash quickly arrived beside Lucario.

Looking at Lucario's body, which was on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Zhi didn't know what to do either.

"Lucario..."

Xiao Zhi was about to say something.

However, his hand touched another Flower of Time beside the crystal.

The scattered waveguide power surged into it.

The flower of time blooms once more.

The surrounding environment darkened again.

And right next to Lucario, a figure appeared.

This figure was none other than...

It was Alan a thousand years ago.

At this moment, Aaron lay quietly beside Lucario.

Like Lucario.

There were also pulsating blue arcs of electricity on Yalang's body.

Both were in the same state, nearing the end of their lives.

"Lucario, I'm so sorry."

"In that situation, if I hadn't sealed you away, you would definitely have come with me. At that time, I think you would never have watched me sacrifice myself, and you would have shared the same fate as me."

Of course!

Lucario wanted to ask further questions, even if they were to share the same fate.

It also wants to be with Aaron.

"But I don't want you to die either."

Aaron's next words left Lucario stunned.

Lying there, Yalang gazed intently into the distance.

At that moment, it was as if he saw Lucario, whom he had sealed away, not far away.

Even when life is about to come to an end.

Aaron's thoughts were still on Lucario.

'Lord Aaron, I'm so sorry!'

"A pointless war has claimed countless lives. Since the war must end, someone must have sacrificed their life. Why can't that person be me?"

Aaron could no longer hear Lucario's words.

No matter how clear it may be, it is merely an illusion imprinted by the flower of time.

"I... have no regrets in this life. Although my life was not long, I had you and Princess Lynn in that castle, and we spent the most beautiful time there. Thank you, Lucario. Every day I spent with you was very, very happy."

"The time I spent teaching you was the happiest time of my entire life. It was at that moment that I truly felt how clearly I was alive."

"Lucario, if... there's still a chance, I really want to see you again."

I really want to thank you in person.

"My friend..."

this moment.

Lucario looks like a puppy that has been abandoned by its owner.

There they were, sobbing as their master departed.

'Lord Yalang...'

'I was so stupid to doubt you!'

'We are friends, we are family! Why would I suspect you of betraying me or the Queen!'

'We've lived together for so long, I...'
