Chapter 100: I Can't Let You Be the Hero Alone

Upon returning to the city of Orudron, Yalang found the villagers already packing their belongings. He quickly grabbed one of them, "Atu, what happened?"

A-Tu replied somewhat panickedly, "Lord Ya-Lang, Lord Yan-Xing went out to find a new habitat, but the scouts unexpectedly discovered the army of the Flower Kingdom."

"The army has already set off towards the city of Orudron and will arrive in Orudron's territory in seven days at most."

"Lord Yanxing sent someone back as quickly as possible to inform the Queen. The Queen ordered everyone to pack their belongings immediately and move to the south, to the new territory Lord Yanxing had found."

Alan's heart sank, knowing that he could only sacrifice his own life to restore peace to this land.

Aaron frowned slightly. "I'll go see Lady Lynn now. Lucario, Nasus, you two take Mew to rest first."

Upon arriving at her lodgings, Dreamy curiously looked around at everything in the castle.

As dusk settled, Meng Huan asked excitedly, "When can we have the fireworks display?"

Looking at the dreamy expression, Lucario couldn't bring himself to say that the villagers, who were the audience, were migrating and the fireworks display could no longer take place.

Nasus said, "Now is a good time. Everyone is leaving the city of Orudron, so let's send them off with our fireworks."

Dreamy and joyful, it soared and tumbled about, asking, "Where will we perform?"

Nasus turned to Lucario. "You've lived in the castle the longest, so tell me, where's a good open-air platform for setting off fireworks?"

Lucario sighed. "Come with me."

Led by Lucario, they arrived at the castle rooftop.

Nasus nodded. "This is indeed a great place to set off fireworks."

Nasus was the first to condense a burst of energy, releasing a white firework into the sky.

With the sound of the explosion, everyone's eyes turned to look.

I happened to see the yellow and blue fireworks that followed.

Then came a burst of purple, blue, and green fireworks.

The children pointed to the castle, exclaiming, "Daddy, Mommy, look! Beautiful fireworks!"

Queen Lynn and Aaron also walked out of the hall and looked at the dazzling fireworks blooming in the sky.

The heavy mood of the approaching army and the sorrow of leaving one's hometown seemed to be somewhat dispelled by the fireworks.

Aaron sighed, "I originally wanted to enjoy the last bit of peace before the great battle and let everyone have some fun, but I didn't expect that the city of Orudron would be forced to start relocation so soon."

Queen Lynn smiled. "Alan, the fireworks you arranged were beautiful. I think the people of Orudron will never forget the fireworks they saw tonight."

"If we can overcome this difficulty, I hope that the city of Orudron can hold a fireworks festival every year on this day."

Aaron smiled. "It will definitely happen, Lady Lynn."

Next year, I won't be able to watch such beautiful fireworks with you.

Queen Lynn nodded. "Then it's a promise. We'll enjoy the fireworks together next year."

Aaron concealed the bitterness in his eyes and laughed heartily, "Yeah, it's a promise..."

The dusty, travel-worn Yanxing rode a fiery steed and rushed back overnight.

"Queen Lynn, please come with me to the new territory."

Queen Lynn smiled. "It's wonderful that Lord Yanxing has returned in time. I hope you can cover the villagers' retreat. As for me, I will leave with Lord Aaron last."

"As queen, I will stand firm until the very last moment."

Yan Xing frowned, but still knelt down to pay his respects, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Yanxing felt that Yalang's way of doing things was unreliable, she admitted that Yalang was much more capable than her.

With Aaron and Lucario protecting her, the Queen's safety will not be a problem.

Over the next seven days, not only the villagers, but even the castle's servants left one after another.

These days, Dream has been traveling back and forth between the Tree of Origin and the Castle using teleportation.

She moved the small items that she found interesting and that people hadn't taken with them when they left to her place.

Until this day, Aaron told Dream not to come to the castle again.

And Aaron said to Lucario and Nasus, "I want you two to go and observe the march of the two armies, until they are about to meet."

"Contact me immediately via Blue Crystal."

Lucario was somewhat puzzled, but he still chose to comply.

Li Shuwen understood that Yalang was trying to distract the two of them so that he could be the hero.

After Lucario and Nasus set off, Aaron arrived at the high platform.

"Queen Lynn, I will send you away now."

Queen Lynn shook her head. "I have entrusted my people to Yanxing. As queen, my fate is intertwined with this castle. I will stay and live or die with this land."

"Aran, you should take Lucario and leave quickly. There's no need to clash head-on with the army."

As a wave guide, Aaron could naturally sense the connection between the Queen and this land.

The prosperity of the city of Ordron rests entirely on the Queen's use of the castle to guide the power of the Tree of Origin.

Conversely, the castle was destroyed, and the queen could not escape death.

Just like in the dream world, the Queen's activities are also limited to the area where the crystal appears, which is within the power range of the Tree of Origin.

Once outside the city, Lucario spoke first: "I'll go observe the army of the Rock Kingdom, and you go observe the Flower Kingdom."

"Alright."

The scout of the Rock Kingdom is Houndoom, while the scout of the Flower Kingdom is Skarmory.

Nasus ran about thirty kilometers eastward when three armored birds swooped down from the sky with screeching cries.

Compared to Houndoom, Skarmory is much more difficult to deal with.

This simulation has only lasted for half a month, and unexpectedly, the final battle has arrived.

This might be the penalty mechanism resulting from having a teammate like Aaron who is too strong.

Fortunately, although it has only been half a month, Lucario Nexus has become almost ten times stronger.

Lucario had a good foundation, and Aaron used the power of Aura to guide and heal him, allowing Li Shuwen to experience what it meant to level up at a rocket-like speed.

Compared to his [Fighting (9.37)], Aaron's Aura is even more effective at training Fighting-type Pokémon.

The rapidly condensing wave missiles shot down two armored birds that were diving with steel wings.

The last archegon turned and tried to run away.

Nasus conjured wave missiles with both hands and shot them into the back of the armored bird, which then fell to the ground, powerless.

Nasus wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.

That was close; the Skarmory almost got away.

Find the nearby crystal and report the progress of the Flower Kingdom's army to Aaron.

"I understand, Nasus. You should retreat to the new territory immediately. I will meet you there."

But in Nasus's aura perception, Aaron's aura was clearly visible as he rode Pidgeot towards the Tree of Origin.

Lucario was faster than Nasus and arrived at the spot where Pidgeot had crashed ahead of him.

When Nasus arrived, he only saw the scepter stuck in the ground and Aaron riding his Pidgeot back towards the Tree of Origin.

Nasus transmitted the waveguide into the scepter, "The Tree of the Beginning, where you can find everything you want to know."

The scepter swayed slightly, but Lucario did not break free from Aaron's seal.

He could only drift into a deep sleep, carrying with him Nasus's words.

Nasus chased all the way to the center of the Tree of Origin and finally caught up with Aaron.

Seeing Nasus panting heavily, Aaron asked in surprise, "Nasus, what brings you here?"

Nasus grinned smugly. "Master Aaron, such a feat can't be made a hero by yourself, can it?"
