Chapter 438: Lucario Will Have a Change of Heart!
Leaving the Village of Dragons, on the way to Opelucid City,
Keldeo, who had been unusually silent along the way, suddenly spoke:
"Lord Will, you are going back next, right?"
"Mm."
Will nodded.
"Then I should leave too."
"Can you find your masters yourself?"
"I can."
"Mm, go ahead."
Will reached out and rubbed the red mane on Keldeo's head.
Keldeo turned around, and before taking two steps, turned back to look at them:
"Can we still meet? I still want to see everyone, and still want to travel with everyone."
"As long as we are still alive, we will meet again someday."
Will's eyes flickered, unable to give an answer that they would definitely meet again.
"Next time we meet, I will definitely already be a Sword of Justice!"
"Keldeo will definitely become a Sword of Justice!"
N ran over and hugged Keldeo's head, crystal teardrops flickering in his eyes.
He has the best relationship with Keldeo.
When little N couldn't walk well yet, it was always Keldeo carrying him; the two are good friends.
This should be the first time little N experiences separation from a partner.
"N, next time we meet, let's also challenge the League like Cynthia and Lord Will, right?"
Keldeo rubbed his face against N.
"Okay! We also have to win the tournament championship!"
N also rubbed his cheek against the other party, trying hard to respond.
"You must become an excellent trainer! Only a strong enough trainer can be worthy of a powerful Sword of Justice!"
"I will!"
"Then see you next time."
"Mm!"
Under N's gaze.
Keldeo, like a free little horse, gradually disappeared at the end of the grassland.
Will looked down at N; the little guy was raising his hand to wipe tears with his sleeve.
He couldn't help smiling, then his smile carried a little bitterness.
Current self.
When experiencing this kind of separation, doesn't feel much sentimentality in his heart anymore?
No.
Not that he won't be sentimental.
It's because he knows.
Will meet again.
There will definitely be a day to meet again.
So no need to be sad, just look forward to the day of meeting again.
"Hope next time we meet, we can all become better selves."
Will muttered a sentence, pulling the lonely little blonde and turned around, heading towards the direction of Opelucid City:
"Let's go N, from now on you have to walk properly by yourself."
"Aww~"
"Answer properly."
"Oh!"
Quasi-rookie trainer N, stand at attention!
"Tini Tini..."
"You don't need to snicker; from now on no one can hold you either, with N's physical strength he can't hold you all the way."
Will reached out and tugged the dumpling's (Victini's) tail.
"Tini?!"
"I'll hold, I'll hold."
Dog-licking (Simping) Cynthia, online!
"Sigh."
Will sighed and shook his head.
Although one Keldeo is missing, this little team didn't become desolate because of it.
After arriving at Opelucid City, another three hours passed, arrived at Castelia City.
The next journey will be far.
Have to sleep on the plane for a long time.
In the sky.
Will sitting by the window glanced downwards.
This is already his third time leaving Unova.
Third life went once with Meowscarada.
Fourth life went once with Lorelei doing a mission.
This Unova region, although he is not particularly familiar with it, cannot be said to be unfamiliar either.
Every time he leaves, the scenery of this land is about the same.
Just every time he leaves, the people beside him are different.
Year after year the flowers are similar, year after year the people are different?
"..."
Will blinked, withdrawing his gaze.
In the future, he will also bring Liz to play once.
"Lucario."
The little blonde's voice came from the side.
The next moment Will felt his shoulder sink; the scent of cake-flavored shampoo poured into his nasal cavity.
"What's wrong?"
Will turned his head looking at Cynthia beside him.
"Do you remember that Star Trainer plan Mr. Mabe mentioned?"
"Mm, what, you have thoughts?"
A doubtful look appeared in Will's eyes.
He felt Cynthia shouldn't be interested in this kind of status, fame, and wealth.
The purpose of the little blonde wanting to become a League higher-up is very simple.
Just to be more convenient conducting historical research everywhere in the future.
When entering and exiting some ruins guarded by the League, won't be stuck on identity.
"Star Trainer should be the League's external promotional figure, right? Will the work content be relatively light? Why didn't the Unova League invite me?"
Cynthia voiced her doubts.
This also made Will understand her thoughts.
Simply put.
Cynthia feels Star Trainer is a "freelance job with little work content and status."
If she can become a Star Trainer, then they will not only have time to go out and play in the future, but also get convenience in identity.
"Dispel your thoughts; League jobs, freedom, risk, status, salary, if there are one or two outstanding items, there must be one or two low items. Star Trainer is not as simple as you think."
Will shook his head, reaching out to poke the little blonde's forehead.
12-year-old girl.
Is exactly the age of loving to daydream.
Star Trainer, to put it bluntly, is the future Elite Four.
The Elite Four have high status, high salary, but also high risk, and are very busy most of the time.
Those ten years when Lorelei was an Elite Four.
Although ran to all places, it was basically because of missions.
And those missions were very difficult, belonging to missions that Elite Four-level trainers or even Champion-level trainers can complete; the risk of death is absolutely indispensable.
"As for why the Unova League didn't invite you, please, you want to go to work at 12 years old? And we are people of Sinnoh; unless we move our household registration here, they can't easily poach us."
Will explained helplessly.
"Okay... what you said is also right, better consider this later."
Cynthia nodded gently, stretching out arms to hug Will's arm tightly; looks like planning to sleep.
Will looked at the other side of Cynthia.
Little N hugging Victini fell asleep together.
The little dumpling automatically released the invisible state when sleeping, but fortunately others thought this was just a plush toy, so didn't pay much attention.
Will yawned.
A bit sleepy.
Tilted his head, resting on the little blonde's head, falling into sleep together.
Don't know how long passed.
The flight attendant older sister woke up the little ones, handing them the not very delicious meals, also stroking the dog's head in passing,
Then turned and left.
The little ones glanced at the meals with sleepy eyes, completely having no desire to eat.
They put it aside, then continued leaning together to sleep.
As time passed.
The plane began to fluctuate; the reminder of the plane about to land also came to ears.
Will and others woke up.
Will and Cynthia couldn't help bringing smiles to their faces.
Finally going home.
After getting off the plane, can see the family coming to pick them up.
As for little N and Victini.
They have no concept of Sinnoh, and have never been here before.
Eyes are basically full of curiosity and expectation.
Curious what kind of place Sinnoh is.
Expect what kind of people and Pokémon they will meet.
Phew~
Plane landed.
The landing spot is Sunyshore City, the port city in the southeast of the Sinnoh region.
Everyone went to get their luggage together, then walked towards the outside of the airport.
Just exited the airport.
They saw the still charming beautiful woman Kaoru and the Garchomp standing beside her.
Different from Cynthia.
Compared to the light and slender Lucario, she is more willing to bring the bigger and able-to-fly Garchomp beside her.
Will scanned casually.
Didn't see Wolf Mom.
This is also normal.
After all, Wolf Mom's physique is quite big; if not entering the Poké Ball, can only run over.
Anyway, can't take a car.
Maybe Wolf Mom doesn't even know he has returned to Sinnoh now.
This is also good.
Later riding Big Silly (Druddigon) back to give Wolf Mom a surprise.
"Mom!"
Cynthia saw Kaoru, immediately pounced over fast, hugging the beautiful woman at once.
Will pulled the luggage from behind, leading the two little ones walking over slowly.
Looking at it this way.
Cynthia and Kaoru really look alike.
Cynthia is simply the young Kaoru; saying Kaoru gave birth to another herself is not a problem.
The biggest gap between this mother and daughter might be temperament.
Besides that.
Cynthia's figure talent seems stronger than Kaoru's.
Should be the physical genes from the father's side are very strong.
Now only 12-year-old Cynthia's height is already 170 cm; when height completely stabilizes in the future, will be at least 178 cm.
And Kaoru is only 170 now, reaching 178 wearing high heels.
Future Cynthia's height will definitely exceed Kaoru by a lot.
Among Will's several trainers.
Cynthia's height is also the highest one.
The shortest should be Liz.
Liz wearing 8 cm high heels is only 174 cm.
But Liz possesses the most magnificent justice (figure/chest).
Lorelei's height is in the middle position; justice is hard to say, after all current Cynthia hasn't fully developed yet.
But if Cynthia grows into that figure in the future anime, then Lorelei's justice can rank second, pressing above Cynthia.
"Lucario, congratulations on your evolution; um, really a very tall one, Cynthia's vision is really good."
Kaoru walked to his side don't know when; one hand already stroked his head.
Gentle strength, tricky technique.
Making Will feel exceptionally comfortable; the vigilance kept all the time instantly unloaded mostly.
This woman's head-stroking, is actually Nangong Wenya (character known for purifying/calming beasts) level!
Kaoru in the previous life was not this amazing!
That Kaoru was a clip (sweet voice/siren), best at using gentle whispers to bewitch people's hearts, simply verbal hypnotism.
Anyway, both are very amazing.
If Cynthia had any of these tricks.
Would she be afraid of encountering fierce Pokémon in the future?
"Purr..."
Will's throat couldn't help making a comfortable purring sound.
This kind of sound, if not deliberately controlled, would actually flow out of the throat involuntarily.
Too scary.
"Stop! Mom is not allowed to stroke Lucario!"
Cynthia ran over, squeezing away one person and one dog, with a jealous look on her face.
She seems to only show this posture when facing her mother.
"Eh~ why?"
Kaoru pouted, pretending to be sad.
"Because Mom's head-stroking lethality is too strong; Lucario might have a change of heart!"
Cynthia spoke her true thoughts.
Letting others stroke Lucario.
Is because others are outsiders, won't stay beside Lucario all the time, and head-stroking technique is not as good as hers, so not regarded as a threat by Cynthia.
But Kaoru's nature is different.
So must be vigilant!
Only when her own head-stroking technique reaches the extreme realm in the future, can Cynthia relax vigilance towards her mother.
"Hey hey, the phrase change of heart is not suitable to be used on me, right."
Will helplessly raised his hand pressing the little blonde's head.
