[Cynthia: No way! While other Pokémon might mistake Aura for something else, Lucario is absolutely certain of it! As an Aura Pokémon, it's most sensitive to even the slightest differences in Aura!]

[Cocoa: You're right. Lucario confirmed it two or three times and still believed Ash's aura was Aaron's, which means... Ash and Aaron's auras are indeed the same!]

[Michael: What does this prove?]

Professor Oak: This explains Ash... and he might be the reincarnation of Aaron!

Audience: !!!

Professor Oak's vast knowledge is undeniable.

If even he has reached this conclusion, then... it's very likely to be true!

So... Ash is Aaron from a thousand years ago?! The Aura Hero from back then?!

This plot is too bizarre!

Reincarnation and rebirth have always been just a legend.

Unexpectedly, such a thing actually exists in the real world, and it's even a well-known celebrity worldwide—Ash!

……

Aurudron City:

Eileen stared blankly at Professor Oak's words for a moment.

Is Ash... the reincarnation of the hero Aaron? In other words...

He is not only the hero of the Aura in name, but also the hero of the Aura in terms of actual ability!

A hero reincarnated from a thousand years ago—the Wave Guide Warrior!

"Ding~"

What Eileen didn't notice was the white gem at the top of the Hero's Scepter in her hand.

A faint blue light flashed by...

……

In the video—

Ash was completely bewildered by Lucario's questioning.

He didn't understand anything about waveguides or anything like that!

Seeing that Ash looked completely confused, Lucario immediately ran off!

Seeing this, Eileen explained to everyone present.

"...That Lucario from earlier should have been the one that followed the hero Aaron a thousand years ago, but for some reason it was sealed inside the scepter..."

Ash stared blankly at the Hero's Staff in his hand for a moment.

So, was it Lucario that called out to him in the first place?

But... even though it was their first meeting, why did that Lucario give him a familiar feeling?

Meanwhile, Lucario was running swiftly through the city of Ordron.

Everything around me felt both strange and familiar.

The streets were much livelier than before, and everyone was filled with laughter and joy.

Beautiful and dazzling fireworks occasionally flashed across the sky.

Everything appeared so peaceful.

But... the war was supposed to start just a short while ago!

Why... has the city of Ordron become like this? So peaceful, so... unfamiliar?

Relying on his memory, Lucario ran all the way to...

As she left her former residence, memories of Aaron kept flooding back.

And it was broadcast to all viewers.

From getting to know each other, meeting each other, to becoming familiar with each other, Aaron has always been extremely good to Lucario!

Except for the final seal...

Lucario arrived at his former residence, but the bed he shared with Aaron was long gone.

Instead, there were display cases, each containing various photos.

There were also various utensils, all of which belonged to the castle previously.

All of this proves that this is indeed the city of Orudron!

But why has the city of Orudron changed so much since I first met him?

What exactly happened while he was asleep?

"Lucario."

A soft call came from behind Lucario, and Lucario turned around instantly.

In the dim light, Eileen's figure came into his view.

In the blurry night, its figure looked exactly like Queen Lynn from a thousand years ago!

'Your Highness Lynn!'

Lucario's expression instantly brightened with joy.

If Her Majesty the Queen were still alive, she might know something!

However, the old lady next to Irene turned on the light, and her appearance was clearly displayed in front of Lucario.

The surprise on Lucario's face suddenly froze.

Although Eileen looked very much like Lynn from his memory,

But... she isn't her!

"Queen Lynn is my ancestor, and I am the current queen, Eileen."

As Eileen spoke, she walked up to Lucario.

Seeing his bewildered and helpless expression, Eileen couldn't bear it and gently hugged him.

"You've been sleeping all along, Lucario."

'Sleeping?'

"Yes, thousands of years have passed since your time."

Lucario's pupils contracted, and he then broke free from Irene's embrace, slowly backing away.

He looked around in disbelief and said with some fear.

'How could this be...? This was our room just yesterday...'

"This room may have been yours yesterday, but for us, a very, very long time has passed..."

"Roar!"

Lucario leaned against the display stand in disbelief, his face full of confusion.

He's been so badly hurt that he can't even use telepathy anymore.

He... had been asleep for a thousand years? Alan, Her Majesty the Queen... they're all gone!

Why... leave him all alone?!

……

[Cattleya: Waaaa~ Seeing Lucario's expression makes my heart ache!]

[Cynthia: In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. Familiar people are gone, familiar places have changed. For Lucario, this is indeed a huge blow.]

[Beauty Bean: Times change, and there's nothing we can do about it. Aaron meant well and wanted to protect him. If he has any dignity as a Fighting-type Pokémon, he should pull himself together!]

[Leon: Little Aya is still so demanding! But... one shouldn't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. We're now in God's shoes, so we know Aaron sealed Lucario away for Lucario's own good.]

[Leon: But Lucario doesn't know this. In his memory, Aaron abandoned the castle, abandoned him, and now, with the passage of time, he can't even find Aaron to ask for an answer!]

[Leon: All my loved ones have vanished with time, and the place I live in has changed beyond recognition. For Lucario, this pain is perhaps even greater than his 3.1 years of life!]

[Ayaka: ...I was being too harsh, I'm sorry.]

Rainbow Bean has always been very demanding of her Pokémon, and even of herself!

She even led the elves to a deserted island to practice wilderness survival and sparred with them in physical combat!

So she subconsciously became stricter with Lucario.

But Leon's words reminded her of just how much pain Lucario was currently enduring!

Not only have loved ones disappeared, but even their consciousness still retains memories of their master betraying the castle and betraying them!

What a blow that must have been for Lucario!

Hopefully... Lucario will learn the truth about the world!!
