Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 204 Heading to Kanto, Target: Milk Tank!

Early on, Raven had already heard of the name of the Beastmaster Aaron from Elif.

Although they lived in the same era, Raven never expected to meet Aaron so soon.

At least... at least we should wait until they develop the steamship and start the Age of Exploration, right?
Aaron and Lucario are characters from the theatrical film "Lucario the Mew and the Aura".

In the story, Aaron went to the World Tree to stop the war, but he never returned.

Lucario was sealed inside the scepter until Ash arrived thousands of years later, breaking the seal and together they uncovered the truth that had been buried for so long.

It was precisely because of this theatrical version that countless viewers fell in love with Lucario, the Pokémon.

And now...

Aaron and Lucario appeared before him, which made Raven feel a sense of unreality.

"However, since Aaron and Lucario are here, it means that the movie's plot hasn't happened yet, the war hasn't broken out in Ordron City, and Aaron hasn't sacrificed himself to the World Tree," Raven thought to himself.

He looked at Alan in front of him and said, "You should have already met your father."

“Your Majesty Raven, your father has requested that I come to Raven City to see what it looks like under your rule,” Aaron replied.

"Have you seen it yet?" Raven asked.

Aaron recalled the scenes he had witnessed along the way, and then nodded slightly.

"But... I'm a little unclear on how you managed to make magical beasts live alongside humans like that."

Upon hearing this, Raven did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to the Lucario next to Aaron.

"How long have you been with Lucario?"

Lucario was slightly taken aback.

Aaron glanced at it and replied, "Almost ten years."

Raven smiled and said, "I think you've already found the answer to that question."

Yalang was stunned.

But Raven continued:

"Humans and Pokémon, or what you call magical beasts, are all part of this world. I believe that in Ordron City, they have already mastered how to use the power of magical beasts to do things."

"Because humans have discovered that Pokémon possess immense power, and they can bring all sorts of changes to human life, it's only a matter of time before we learn to utilize their power."

"The only difference is that you use force to capture them and rely on whips to squeeze them."

"But here... we use a better method, a method that can not only change human lives, but also greatly benefit Pokémon."

"Mutual benefit and win-win results."

As a messenger of the waveguide, Aaron was very intelligent. Combining his own example with Lucario, Aaron quickly understood the meaning behind Raven's words.

This was a path they had never imagined...

"Your Majesty, you are truly young and promising!" Alan couldn't help but exclaim.

Raven smiled; he was quite happy to finally see an acquaintance.

"Just call me Raven." Raven then asked, "How are things in Orudron City lately?"

"Under Queen Lynn's rule, everything in Orudron City is going well," Aaron replied.

Raven hummed in agreement. The Kanto region…

Are these the current names of the Kanto and Johto regions?
That place is home to many Pokémon that don't exist in the Unova region.

For example, Miltank is the most important character; Chansey is gentle and kind and can also serve as Nurse Joy's assistant; Mr. Mime is a great helper when doing housework; and Lava Worm can act as a natural heater...

Since he didn't know the exact location of the Kanto region, Raven originally planned to wait until the steamship was successfully built before starting the Age of Exploration and then introducing those Pokémon to Unova.

But now that Aaron has arrived in Unova, does that mean he can use Aaron to travel to the Kanto region ahead of time, bring a sufficient number of Poké Balls, and bring the Pokémon there in advance?
Moreover, with the help of the royal family of Ordron and Queen Lynn, this matter should not be difficult.

More importantly, with Dragonite and Kyurem around, their speed allows them to travel between the two regions within a day, even if they start from the Unova region.

Raven became more and more tempted. After all, milk from the Big Milk Tank was a very important food in this world. Long-term consumption could greatly improve the physical strength of humans, making them grow stronger and more robust.

However, we shouldn't be too hasty.

It would be extremely impolite of him to urge someone to leave so that Alan has come from afar.

Raven looked at Aaron and Lucario and said, "You two have come from afar, so please stay in the city and rest well today. Eriff, prepare accommodations for your guests."

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Elif replied.

He stood up and walked to Alan, saying respectfully, "My lord, please come with me."

Aaron was indeed a little tired. He nodded, then said goodbye to Raven on the throne, and together with Lucario, led by Elif, headed to their lodgings.

“Lord Aaron, there are many shops in Raven City that have food specially prepared for Pokémon. I think you and Lucario could go and try some,” Elif suggested.

Food specially prepared for Warcraft?

Aaron glanced at Lucario beside him and nodded, saying, "I'll go check it out."

Soon, the two arrived at their lodgings.

"Please get some rest," Elif said. "If you need anything, please let the maid know."

“I understand,” Aaron nodded.

Eriff then turned and took his leave.

Aaron returned to his room, intending to get some rest, but he noticed Lucario glancing out the window every now and then, and immediately understood what it was thinking.

They must have heard the person just mentioned that there are many foods specially prepared for Pokémon and wanted to try them!

Seeing this, a helpless look appeared on Yalang's face.

“Lucario, let’s go for a walk in the streets,” Aaron said, getting up.

Lucario paused for a moment, then asked using Aura, "Lord Aaron, don't you need to rest?"

Aaron shook his head gently: "Don't worry, I'd rather see how humans and magical beasts live together in this place than rest."

“Yes, Lord Aaron!” Lucario replied.

Compared to Orudron City, the streets of Raven City look clean, beautiful, and grand.

The road is paved with neat red bricks, and flower beds are built on both sides of the road, planted with all kinds of flowers. Some small Pokémon live there. It looks like there is both the liveliness and prosperity of the royal city and the natural atmosphere.

Some residents living in the town strolled leisurely along the road, and occasionally some tired commoners could be seen sitting and resting by the flower beds.

People don't seem to have much fear of Warcraft; instead, they have a friendly attitude towards it, just like they would towards humans.

In the past, when he and Lucario walked through the city of Ordron, the common people around them would always focus their attention on them.

Now, people will simply glance at them, give them a gentle smile, and then continue with their own business.

"Is this what it's like for humans and magical beasts to live together?" Aaron murmured to himself. "If only the city of Ordron could be like this," Lucario couldn't help but say.

“Yes, I will,” Aaron said softly.

His purpose in going to Raven City was to study there and then send the child back to Orudron City to offer advice to Queen Lynn.

For example, we can learn to utilize and leverage the power of monsters, and apply them to the military and daily life, thereby enhancing the overall national strength.

If they can really use the power of magical beasts so skillfully, then there will be no need to worry about the war that follows.
"Look, take a look! Desserts made with fresh, sweet ingredients!"

While I was thinking, a shout suddenly came from ahead.

Yalang looked up and was surprised to find that they had somehow ended up in the commercial district.

The area is lined with shops, including bakeries, tailors, restaurants, hotels, barbershops, and bathhouses...

The streets were bustling with people, and you could even spot quite a few monsters.

Some children and Pokémon stood in front of the bakery's glass window, gazing longingly at the exquisitely crafted, sweet and soft bread inside.

Several ladies, each with a few Yorkshire Terriers and Skitty, sat in front of a shop chatting leisurely, while the shop assistant combed the fur of their Pokémon.

This place is so bustling!

In the city of Eurdran, this scene can probably only be seen during some major festivals and celebrations!

However, when Aaron's gaze fell upon the flying Pokémon taxis that occasionally flew across the sky, he quickly understood the reason.

That makes sense; with such convenient transportation, the people of Eindooc can travel to other cities at will.

This is really... convenient!

"Sniff!"

Just as Aaron was marveling at the prosperity of the place, Lucario, who was standing next to him, seemed to smell something and twitched his nose, sniffing the air.

Aaron was slightly taken aback. He looked at Lucario and immediately felt a wave of joy and excitement emanating from it.

"Lucario? Did you find something?"

"Lord Aron, it smells delicious!" As Lucario spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look in one direction.

Following its gaze, Yalang was surprised to see a shop at the end of the road.

The shop is decorated in a very cozy style, and the signboard is a wooden carving of Eevee's head with six simple and straightforward characters written next to it.

—Pokémon Snack Shop.

By this time, a large number of customers had gathered in front of the shop, including not only humans but also many Pokémon.

They come in all shapes and sizes, but what they have in common is that their gazes are all uniformly fixed on the interior of the shop.

Inside the glass display case, there were rows of exquisitely presented pastries.

The scent that Lucario was talking about must have been coming from that.

“Let’s go take a look,” Yalang said.

Lucario's eyes lit up.

As the two arrived at the shop, they heard the shop assistant inside call out:
"Don't miss out! His Majesty Raven has specially developed delicious snacks for Pokémon, including Energy Cubes, Poffins, and Soufflés. I've even heard that His Majesty Raven's personal dragon, Kyurem, loves them!"

"What? A snack that even Lord Kyurem loves? Give me one!"

"I want one too!"

"I came first!"

The crowd became increasingly dense.

"Alright, everyone, don't rush. Everyone gets a share. Line up and take your time!" the clerk said helplessly.

"Lord Aron...maybe we should just forget about it!" Lucario couldn't help but advise when he saw so many people.

Lord Alang is of such high status, when has he ever done such a thing?

Aaron shook his head gently: "Don't worry, Lucario."

He stood in line at the back of the crowd for a long time before buying a Power Cube and a Boofen from the store, and then handed the paper bag to Lucario.

"Lord Aron..." Lucario, who witnessed the whole thing, was deeply moved.

"Try it," Yalang said. "I heard this is food specially made for you."

Lucario nodded, took out an Energy Cube and put it in its mouth. Instantly, an extremely rich flavor filled its mouth.

Lucario's pupils contracted, and his eyes flashed with a dazzling light.

This is……

So delicious!
It has never eaten anything so delicious before!

Lucario happily devoured his food, while Aaron stood aside, watching the scene with a smile on his face.

After a long while, Lucario finally came to his senses and quickly said:
"Thank you, Lord Aron."

“Don’t worry about it, Lucario. As His Majesty Raven said, you and I are not in a master-servant relationship. We are…” Aaron hesitated for a moment before saying, “Friends who live together.”

“Lord Aron…” Lucario’s eyes welled up with tears.

"Eat quickly, then we'll go back and get some rest," Yalang said softly.

"Yes, Lord Aran!"

*

Inside the castle, Raven was flipping through a book called "The Chronicles of the Continent," written by a traveler who was said to have visited many places.

The idea that "there is more than one landmass in the world" is one of the points raised in this book.

The Pokémon world thousands of years ago may have been very different from the world Raven knew.

Now, Raven is trying to find information from other places.

"Your Majesty, are you really planning to go to the Kanto region?" Elif couldn't help but ask.

Raven nodded: "I read in a book that many Pokémon live on that land that we don't have here. They possess all sorts of magical powers and can play a vital role in the development of the kingdom. Besides... with Kyurem here, I can travel between the two places in less than a day."

He only needs to bring a sufficient number of Poké Balls to bring the Pokémon from the Kanto region to Unova.

Thinking of this, Raven added, "Also, prepare five hundred Poké Balls for me."

“I understand, Your Majesty,” Elif replied softly, then turned and left to carry out the order.

Raven, meanwhile, stared into deep thought at the imagined diagrams of other landmasses in the book.

"Not just Kanto, but also Galar, Padia, Hoenn, Kalos... Sinnoh, no, the current Sinnoh should still be called the Green Land."
