Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 190 Daigo, how many of the Three Pillars can you withstand? (Seeking monthly votes!)
"You're awake? Much faster than I expected."

Inside a room in the Royal Palace of Orudron.

Jinghe, holding Vulpix, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lucario slowly waking up on the bed, and said with a smile.

"Ooh~~"

The Ice Sixtail let out a low cry.

"Luka."

A look of confusion flashed across Lucario's eyes, but he quickly sat up as if he had remembered something.

It glanced at Jinghe and Vulpix, then at Gengar floating not far away, before quickly disappearing.

bang——

The window is open.

I stood on the window.

Beyond the window, the majestic Tree of the Beginning of the World looms, faintly visible through the mist.

Lucario pretended to jump down.

But then Jinghe said:

"Let's talk."

Its movements paused.

“Let’s talk about Yalang,” Jing He said again.

"Luka?"

Lucario turned around, a hint of hesitation and trepidation in his eyes.

Do you know Lord Aaron? Aaron?

It has now calmed down and has sensed the changes in the environment and the times.

Although it was impossible to determine exactly how much time had passed, it understood that Aaron should be a thing of the past.

Hearing the voice echoing in her heart, Jing He sighed softly.

"If you want to know, I can 'show you'."

【have a look?】

Lucario slowly climbed down from the window.

“Look at what Aaron did after you were sealed away.”

Upon hearing this, Lucario was taken aback, then leaped up and instantly appeared in front of Jing He.

"哓GA!"

Upon seeing this, Gengar issued a warning.

Kid, if you hit me again, I'll really beat you up!

Lucario ignored Gengar and looked longingly at Jinghe.

Jing He smiled slightly and said gently:
"As long as you relax and cooperate with me completely, I can let you see it."

Without hesitation, Lucario took a deep breath and completely relaxed.

"Ooh~~"

At Jinghe's prompting, the Ice Vulpix's eyes glowed with a faint light of superpowers.

Simultaneously.

Jinghe's somewhat ethereal and dreamlike voice followed.

As a Pokémon psychologist, with Lucario's complete cooperation and the assistance of Vulpix's "hypnosis," it's not impossible to make it "see" some scenes.

of course.

These "scenes" are all fabricated by Jing He.

It is merely a fictional work based on true history, and there is no deception involved.

Lucario's breathing became steady, and his eyes slowly closed.

dreaming.

Lucario "saw" what Aaron did after sealing it in the scepter.

This includes a scene where someone sacrifices themselves to protect the kingdom.

"Hmm," Jinghe rubbed her chin, "If the knot in your heart is untied, the next step is to heal your psychological trauma."

After all, the one who sacrificed himself was his most respected master, and the master he had doubted.

Moreover, the long-term effects of being dormant for so many years are not insignificant.

However, the trauma caused by the sacrifice of a beloved master is easier to deal with than the trauma caused by the master's betrayal.

As for the aftereffects of a deep sleep, Jinghe has some experience with them.

It didn't take long.

Lucario then woke up again.

Its expression was more bewildered, but it lacked the cynical rage it once had.

Is this for real?

“Of course,” Jing He said calmly.

How did you know? At your age, you shouldn't be able to see this.

"That's what the dream told me."

Speaking fluently and without batting an eye—these are the basic qualities of a psychologist.

"Ooh!"

Upon hearing the word "dreamlike," Little Sixtails remembered the little guy who had been frightened away.

【dream.】

In the "vision" of the dream, Lucario already knew what dreams were.

Using the power of waveguides, Lucario determined that Jinghe had no ill intentions towards it.

But this only made it more confused.

It is a remnant of the old era. Its most beloved master sacrificed himself to protect the kingdom, but it survived under his protection.

Next.
"Luka."

Where should I go from here?

As if sensing its confusion, Jing He smiled slightly and said, "You can ask Gengar; it has also been asleep for a thousand years."

"Genga?"

Gengar blinked.

I?
But noticing Lucario's gaze, it immediately put on a serious expression, floated over to Lucario's side, and patted its shoulder like a wise old man.

"Genga~"

Xiao Lu, let me tell you about this, from a macro perspective to a micro perspective, starting from the basics and gradually deepening.
Gengar made up a story in a very serious manner, and Lucario listened to it solemnly.

One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe.

Seeing that Gengar was going to go further and further out of line, and Lucario was about to turn from a hero into a "lawless madman", Jinghe quickly stopped him.

If Aaron knew, I wonder if he'd jump up and beat up Gengar.

"cough."

He coughed lightly and quickly interrupted:

"Lucario, if you don't know where to go next, you can come with me to Hoenn."

"Luka."

丰缘
Jinghe said jokingly:

"I'll teach you how to make coffee."

Looking at him, Lucario's pupils suddenly contracted.

"I'll teach you waveguides," that's what Aaron said to it back then.

The two people are clearly not alike.

"Chirp!"

The skilled blacksmith suddenly pushed open the door and ran in.

Along with her were Queen Irene, who looked slightly flustered, and Daigo and the others.

"what happened?"

"The crystal derived from the Tree of Origin is malfunctioning," Queen Irene said. The crystal of the Tree of Origin?
Jinghe looked at the skilled blacksmith.

"You smashed it?"

The skilled blacksmith raised his head, put his hands on his hips, and looked incredibly arrogant.

"Chirp!"

No!

What's the point if I'm not as awesome as you?!

"Teacher, there are some dark red marks on it."

Ok?
Dark red stains. Could it be...?
Jinghe quickly got up.

However, Lucario was faster than him, leaping and flashing to the balcony outside the castle banquet hall.

A few steps later, Jing He and the others also ran over.

Then you can see that on the originally azure crystal, there is a liquid that looks like it has melted or like magma.

Jinghe's heart sank.

Lucario, crouching before the crystal and sensing the changes within it using his Aura, also wore a solemn expression.

The Tree of Origin has encountered a problem!

Its voice resonated in Jinghe's heart once again.

It was this place, along with Lord Aaron, that saved it; I cannot stand idly by!

talking.

It jumped onto the balcony.

A gust of wind swept by, ruffling its fur and making its eyes gradually brighten and harden.

He turned his head slightly to glance at Jing He.

This is perhaps why Lord Aaron has kept me here until now.

Done.

Without hesitation, it jumped downwards.

"Lucario!" Queen Irene called out.

"哓GA!"

A small path!

"Teacher, this is..." Daigo noticed Jinghe's solemn expression and guessed that Jinghe must know something.

Jing He took a slight breath.

"It's difficult to explain the specifics all at once."

"It can only be said that the Tree of Origin is sick, and Lucario wants to sacrifice his Aura to try to cure it."

"Sick? Cured?"

Is the Tree of Origin alive?
Can it get sick?

Daigo was puzzled.

But Queen Eileen knew it was true, and she was filled with worry at that moment.

"Beneath the Tree of Beginning, live tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of Pokémon. If something happens to the Tree of Beginning, then..."

The consequences are unimaginable.

Jinghe just couldn't quite understand it.

Why did the Tree of Origin suddenly fall ill?

However, judging from the anomaly shown by the crystal, the situation should be much better than in the theatrical version.

At least the crystal only slowly changes into a magma-like state, rather than undergoing an immediate and large-scale transformation.

"Then what about us?" Daigo's expression gradually became serious.

It concerns hundreds of thousands of wild Pokémon, so he can't afford to take it lightly.

"Let's put other things aside for now."

Jing He rubbed the head of the Ice Six-Tails, slowly stood up, looked in the direction of the Tree of Origin, and said calmly:
“But Lucario is my patient.”

The night was shrouded in mist.

A shimmering Metagross darted swiftly through the area.

On its back, two figures were crouching.

It was Jinghe and Daigo who were approaching the Tree of Origin.

In order to save time, they didn't bring Dujuan and Yasha.

"What? The Tree of the Beginning of the World isn't actually a tree, but a rocky mountain with unique life characteristics?"

Da Wu listened to Jing He's story with a look of astonishment on his face.

Hey, even if you're surprised, can you at least tone down the gleam of excitement in your eyes?

Daigo is keen on collecting various ores, and it's clear that the Tree of Origin has shown him a "new variety".

Jinghe glanced at Daiwu.

Don't get excited yet.

I'm afraid you'll get too excited when you see the three living Divine Pillars later.
Jinghe sighed inwardly.

I wonder if Daigo is strong enough to withstand the three pillars guarding the Tree of Origin.

With Daigo's strength
At least it can buy us some time, right?

He shook his head, gazing at the hazy darkness before him, and said:
"That's not the point right now. The Tree of Origin is surrounded by mist to prevent people from approaching rashly. Without the guidance of the Aura Force, we might not be able to get in even if we wanted to."

"Waveguide power".

Daigo could only look at Jinghe.

"Look, I don't know how either," Jinghe thought to herself.

"So we need to find Lucario first, then it can take us in."

This is one of the reasons why he was in such a hurry to come with Daigo.

If Lucario runs too fast, they probably won't be able to get inside the Tree of Beginning.

"哓GA!"

In the mist.

Gengar flew out with a sinister grin.

Beside it, darting through the forest and among the rocks, is Lucario.

Lucario had clearly learned about the situation from Gengar.

He nodded in approval toward Jinghe and Daigo.

The sky is getting brighter.

Lucario, who was weaving through the mist, suddenly stopped.

Look up.

The thick fog in front of us gradually dissipated.

Then you see a colossal tree that towers into the clouds, standing atop the rock, and has existed for countless millennia—the Tree of the Beginning of the World!
You can't see the top at all.

Pidgeot, Great Swallow, Nargacuga, Swaboon, Braviary, and other common and uncommon bird Pokémon fly among them.

When Daigo, Gengar, and Jinghe saw this unyielding scene, they all slowly opened their mouths wide.

These bird-like Pokémon clearly noticed their presence, but only cast puzzled and curious glances without showing any hostility.

Rumbling--

suddenly.

The ground beneath their feet trembled.

"What's going on?" Daigo was suddenly startled.

"What's meant to happen will happen eventually," Jing He sighed, clicking her tongue.

Then he patted Daigo on the shoulder and asked earnestly:

"Daigo, how many of the three Titans can you withstand?"

Daigo: "?"

What are you doing?
