Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

[Black Gold City - Hyota: Wait, when did you guys return to Sinnoh?]

[Red: Riolu is very strong, I look forward to battling you.]

...It seems like something terrible has infiltrated.

Piao Tai, it seems you left him behind in Uno? I was wondering why I felt like I'd forgotten something on the plane.

Lu Yuan suddenly realized.

Just then, the phone rang; it was Dr. Kuki calling.

Click to connect, and Dr. Elm's voice immediately came from the other end.

"Hey, how's Lu Yuan doing lately?"

"Hello, Dr. Kongmu."

After a few brief pleasantries, Professor Elm revealed his purpose: "Actually, my assistant showed me your battle video. Did you hatch Riolu?"

"Yes, it hatched a few days ago, I forgot to tell you," Lu Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay. Even if you had called me a few days ago, I might not have been able to answer."

Dr. Kuroki continued, "Let's have a video call, so I can get a good look at Riolu."

"No problem." Clicking the video call button, Dr. Kongmu's big face immediately appeared on the screen.

He stepped back, coughed slightly awkwardly, and said, "The internet is developing so fast, I'm still not very familiar with using mobile phones."

"Oh?"

Just then, Riolu, who had been called over by Lu Yuan, also came over.

He stared blankly at Dr. Kumoki on his phone screen.

"Hello, Riolu," Professor Elm greeted on the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing Professor Elm's voice, Riolu finally remembered that it was this man who had brought it out of that tree!

Although it would be more helpful for my cultivation in that tree, even if it matures, it is still just a child that hasn't been born for long.

While ensuring my own safety, I still really want to see the outside world.

So Riolu is very grateful to this man.

Seeing Riolu in good health, Professor Elm laughed heartily: "I'm relieved to see it like this. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Entrusting Riolu to you was the right decision."

If it were Arkin, he wouldn't even dare to imagine Riolu getting involved in any of the vices like "eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring."

Lu Yuan is so reassuring; he knows that a child's growth must begin from the egg.

It was able to defeat a Mega Gyarados right after it was born.

Lu Yuan smiled somewhat guiltily, "No, it was just luck."

After all, it really wasn't his business; who knew Riolu had been training since it was still in its egg?

Who would believe something this absurd unless they experienced it firsthand!

"By the way, Doctor, who are Riolu's parents?" Lu Yuan asked.

If I remember correctly, Riolu's egg group is the Undiscovered Group.

Most of the undiscovered spirits are mythical beasts or divine beasts.

The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Could it be the offspring of that divine beast?

"Oh?"

Leo suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan.

Its waveguide tells it that Lu Yuan is thinking about something very impolite.

"It's alright, it's alright." Lu Yuan smiled and patted Riolu's head.

At the same time, he wondered which mythical beast it might be.

Judging from Riolu's boxing style, he does resemble the martial arts master Kuma to some extent.

Judging from the speed, it could also be Zeraora or Regillechi.

From a waveguide perspective... it might be a dream come true.

Mewtwo? Then Riolu is Mewtwo's younger brother, right?

While Lu Yuan was still lost in thought, Dr. Kuki's voice came from the other end of the phone: "As for Riolu's parents, to be honest, I don't know much about them, because I actually found them by chance."

"Found it?" Lu Yuan repeated subconsciously.

Dr. Kongmu nodded and continued, "Yes, I found it at the Tree of Beginning, where it happened to be enveloped by a Flower of Time."

Wait, the Tree of Beginning? The Flower of Time?

Why does this sound so familiar?

Fearing that Lu Yuan might not understand, Dr. Kongmu explained to Lu Yuan what the Tree of Origin was.

Then, Dr. Kongmu paused, took a sip of water, and said:

"Something seems to have happened at the Tree of Origin. I happened to be investigating the ecology there at the time, and I saw it in a Flower of Time."

Chapter 101 An unknown premonition

After listening to Dr. Kongmu's explanation, Lu Yuan suddenly realized something.

Isn't this just the plot of the theatrical film "The Heroes of Zestiria and Aura"?

Every detail, whether it's the city of Ordron or the Tree of Origin, can be matched.

Ash is currently challenging the Sinnoh League, and the movie seems to take place in Hoenn, when Ash was traveling with Max and May.

If that's the case, then Aaron and his Lucario should be dead.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

But I never expected that Riolu was born from there.

Hm...could this be related to Aaron or Lucario?

Lu Yuan looked down at Riolu, who also looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Riolu's adorable expression, Lu Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that shouldn't be possible, right?"

As he spoke, Lu Yuan patted Riolu's head.

Compared to the vague notion of reincarnation, Lu Yuan preferred to believe that this was a puppy he had raised in a dream world.

After all, it's normal for someone who has lived for so long to have some little-known hobbies.

Dr. Kumo saw through Lu Yuan's thoughts and smiled, "If you care that much, you can also go and see the Tree of Beginning in Kanto."

“Yes, Doctor, I will.” Lu Yuan replied.

If Riolu is truly a dream child, then perhaps... well, let's say we could have Riolu become a relative.

By the way... hehe...

After ending the call with Dr. Kumo.

Lu Yuan remembered the important matter at hand.

Find Xiao Lan. That guy actually handed over the gym to someone else while I was away!

She should be so glad she's a woman; if she were a man...

"Arrest team, assemble!"

In an instant, a group of Ghost-type Pokémon, led by Misdreavus, emerged from the shadows.

They all hung their heads, not daring to look at Lu Yuan even once.

Even if they don't say it, everyone knows what happened.

Lu Yuan could easily imagine the scenario where Xiao Lan used energy cubes to bribe them.

This is something Little Blue is capable of doing.

But Lu Yuan didn't get angry. Instead, he spoke kindly to the dream demons and the others:

"Don't say I'm a heartless trainer. As long as you bring Blue here within three hours, we'll call it even, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost-type Pokémon, who had been hanging their heads, instantly perked up and looked up at Lu Yuan as if asking a question.

Is that really true?

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded confidently, saying, "Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you?"

Dream Fairy: "......"

Bewitching Eyes: "..."

Other Ghost-type Pokémon: "..."

Unlike Lu Yuan's confident promise, everyone was not in a hurry to agree, but instead fell into deep thought.
