Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 368 is superstition

Perhaps because time was not tight, everyone quickly became interested in testing the color of the waveguide. Ash, who hadn't eaten anything during the entire banquet, started cleaning up the reheated leftovers.

"If the color of the waveguide is related to a person's personality," Brock wondered, noticing that the test results for the waveguide bowtie were exactly the same as Lucario's. "Does this mean that finding someone with a similar color means that person is your destined... uh, partner?"

That's not entirely accurate. Lucario subtly denied Brock's guess. Sometimes, people or Pokémon with similar personalities can actually repel each other.

Hearing this, Xiao Gang didn't feel disappointed; instead, he became even more motivated—because Xiao Zhi had gone to eat, he hadn't even understood what Lucario was saying.

"Then could you please test my waveguide? Thank you!"

Lucario immediately got the result, but struggled with how to tell Brock.

Then it pondered the principle behind how Lucario could use waveguide resonance to transmit its own words to others.

The principle is not complicated, and it quickly understood the idea, but it was difficult to master it for a while.

Lucario then had no choice but to tell Link the result and ask him to pass it on.

Xiao Gang looked at the other person curiously: "Xiao Lin?"

After receiving the result, Link pondered for a moment and said the color of Xiao Gang's waveguide: "Xiao Gang, your waveguide... well, it is the color of the end of life, nurturing all things, providing sustenance for life, accommodating filth, returning it to the earth, and ultimately giving other things vitality."

Lucario: "?"

Does a color that can be conveyed in two words really need to be expanded into so many words?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang's face darkened.

The cycle of life embraces impurity, returns it to the earth, and gives life to other things...

This thing seems to be...

You mean...brown?

Link nodded: "Just as you expected, it's brown."

Xiao Gang breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be the color of the earth, not quite what he had expected.

Sounds pretty good.

"What about Ash?"

Link replied immediately: "It's a deep blue and sky blue burning with passion, and a touch of iridescent halo."

"I thought it would be pure white or yellow."

Xiaoxia subconsciously complained, then suddenly realized that her light blue seemed somewhat similar to the other person's, but also slightly different.

The result is a completely different color.

"And what about you, Xiaolin?"

Link shrugged, indicating that using waveguides to measure wavelengths is a superstition similar to constellations and should not be taken too seriously.

"?"

Why do you start rambling on and on when it's your turn?

Just then, Lucario, who was standing nearby, figured out a technique for telepathy using auras and explained, "The origin of life that contains all things, with turbulent waves hidden beneath a calm surface. Although it may appear somewhat colorful at first glance, it is an incomparably pure deep blue overall."

Link shrugged. As a trainer specializing in fire-type attacks, he preferred a simpler and more direct answer like "fire red."

Xiao Gang couldn't help but laugh. "Look at how many other types of Pokémon you've bred on your ranch before you talk about what you specialize in. You'll be a future Normal-type Gym Leader and a Sunny Day Team Trainer who's an expert in Water Blast tactics."

"It's the color of the deep sea, I guess," Xiaoxia said thoughtfully. "Did you know that water and sky are actually colorless in essence? It's just that they refract sunlight differently, which creates different colors."

Xiao Gang's guess seemed to make some sense; at least she got along quite well with Xiao Zhi and Link. "So it's just superstition."

"Ugh……"

Seeing everyone chatting enthusiastically, Queen Irene, who had returned after sending Lucario to rest, hesitated to speak.

Although I'd like to join in and try out the legendary "chatting about everything under the sun," now doesn't seem like the right time.

"Lucario from a thousand years ago has calmed down. Let's discuss the matter of the hero Aaron and the Tree of Origin."

She pondered for a moment, then instead of returning to her throne, she took her wine glass and came before the crowd.

"Go there..." Ash swallowed the last bite of his dinner and asked, puzzled, "Why don't we just fly there tonight? Pidgeot, Charizard, and Krillin's Dragonite will get there in no time."

Queen Eileen shook her head; things were probably not that simple.

A massive rocky mountain like the Tree of the Beginning should be a famous tourist attraction in the city of Orudron, yet it is not mentioned in any tourist guidebook, and is even discouraged from visiting.

Such a de facto forbidden area naturally has unknown causes.

"In fact, once humans enter the area around the Tree of Origin, legendary giants will launch an attack."

Queen Irene looked worried and rejected Ash's suggestion: "If we approach from the air, we will face extremely violent lightning strikes and lightning cages, which are dangerous for both people and Pokémon."

"Digging holes" means you'll get caught in earthquakes, while "flying" means you'll get caught in thunderstorms.

She glanced at Link instinctively and added, "While the legendary giant might not be a match for the champion in a one-on-one fight, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Link suddenly said, "By the way, all my Pokémon have gone out to play, so my main Pokémon is Arcanine."

"What about Talebages?" Xia asked curiously.

"Bagogo?"

"It has little interest in fighting."

Talebagos breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed it wouldn't have to work overtime.

In any case, when the hero Pidgeot of the Aura traversed the Tree of Beginning, he must have been risking his life, and it is said that there was a dense fog on that day.

If they wish to visit the dreamlike abode to learn about what happened back then, it is best for Lucario to go alone.

Even so, danger is unavoidable, as the powerful wild Pokémon inhabiting the surrounding area may well reject outside Pokémon.

"Therefore, I propose that you all take Lucario to the limit of distance where it will not be attacked by the legendary giants, and then let it go alone into the Tree of Beginning to find Mew."

This is probably the most reasonable approach.

In fact, the group had no reason to necessarily enter the Tree of Origin, or to risk fighting the legendary giants for it...

Therefore, Queen Irene's plan was unanimously approved, and Link and Ash decided to set off immediately the next morning to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Late that night, while Link was out for a run with Arcanine, Ash, who was worried about Lucario, went to the residence of the Aura Hero from a thousand years ago.

Over the course of a thousand years, this place has been transformed into an exhibition hall where visitors pay to exhibit their work.

In an instant, a thousand years had passed, leaving Lucario, who had been training here just the day before, with a sense of things having changed.

Faced with Lucario's bewilderment, Ash, who had heard of something called the "Flower of Time," made a bold suggestion.
