Chapter 168 Hero's Gloves

With Anjie feeding her, Meng Huan finally lay down on the cloth Anjie had laid out, her round belly sticking out.

"Mmm~" I'm so...so full!

At this point, Dream was so full that it couldn't move.

"Dream, can you listen to me now?" Anjie asked with a smile.

"Mew~"

Meng Huan looked at An Jie with a puzzled expression.

Anjie said, "I want some leaves from the Tree of Origin. Can you take me to pick some?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Huan immediately shook her head.

"It won't work?" Anjie looked disappointed upon hearing this.

However, Dream continued, "Mew~Mew~" But I can pick it and give it to you.

Anjie's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. Whether or not they went to the Tree of Origin was not important, as long as they could obtain the leaves.

"That's great! Once you've picked the leaves, can we meet at the place where we first met?"

"Mew~ Mew~"

Dream nodded in agreement.

Dream lay on the cloth and rested for a while. By the time Anjie realized what was happening, it had already disappeared.

Having met Mew and achieved his goal, Ange didn't linger in the palace. After saying goodbye to the Pokémon in the attic, he took Bulbasaur back to the arena.

Because Luo Ke is using a phantom to impersonate An Jie while participating in the competition, An Jie cannot openly show herself.

He quietly went to the stands and found that the match was nearing its end. More importantly, Luo Ke had actually helped him all the way to the final.

At this moment, the opponent facing off against Loke is Ayaka.

This time, Ayaka is using a female Psychic Bulbasaur instead of Absol.

That Meowth was not as strong as Absol, so it was no surprise that it was defeated by Loko.

The moment Luo Ke won, the audience outside the stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Anjie, however, was rubbing her forehead in distress.

Loke, Loke, why did you say you'd win? Why not just give it a quick hit and run away?

After the competition, the royal palace will hold a grand banquet, inviting all the finalists to attend. At the banquet, the final winner will be awarded the title of "Aura Warrior" and given the Aura Warrior's Staff.

Of course, the cane is only temporarily held by the winner and must be returned after the banquet.

Surrounded by a large crowd, Loke and Phantom Ange were led to a banquet hall.

The banquet officially began.

The banquet will continue into the evening.

Anjie blended into the crowd, concealing his face with a hat, and followed the others to the banquet hall.

Upon entering the banquet hall, Butubo was overjoyed, as the tables were laden with delicious food and drinks.

Anjie didn't restrain Butubo, letting it roam freely in the sea of ​​delicious food.

Loke and Phantom Ange were led to the front of the banquet hall. Soon after, Her Majesty the Queen appeared with a Monini.

When Her Majesty the Queen appeared, everyone fell silent.

The Queen stepped forward and said, "Hello everyone, I am Eileen, the city lord of Orudron and the queen of this country."

"It's a pleasure to have everyone here for this Waveguide Warrior Celebration. After fierce competition, this year's Waveguide Warrior has finally emerged."

As she spoke, Queen Eileen took the Staff of the Hero from the servant and handed it to Phantom Ange.

"This Staff of the Warrior can only be wielded by those who win battles and earn the title of Warrior. Please cherish it."

Loke used her superpowers to catch the Staff of the Hero and tried her best to imitate Ange's voice, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the ceremony of bestowing the Staff of Heroes concluded, Her Majesty the Queen said, "Now, please enjoy the banquet."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to move around freely, some dancing, some eating, while only Loke, the winner, had to sit obediently at the top and quietly act as a mascot.

Noticing Ange's arrival, Loke wanted to switch identities with him, but the Queen's personal maid stopped her.

"No, the hero must stay here obediently."

Luo Ke suddenly regretted winning the match.

Suddenly, a thought struck it: "I need to go to the toilet, is that not allowed?"

The maid hesitated upon hearing this.

Luo Ke, controlling the phantom Anjie, clutched her stomach and stomped her feet, crying, "I can't take it anymore, I can't hold it in any longer!"

An Jie below gritted his teeth, furious that Luo Ke had made him do such a shameful thing.

In the end, the maid had no choice but to agree; she couldn't very well let the hero actually poop in her pants!

Seeing this, An Jie quickly went into the banquet hall's restroom ahead of time. After Luo Ke arrived, she immediately switched identities with him.

The maid helped Loke hold the Hero's Staff and guard the toilet door.

When Anjie came out, he naturally took the Hero's Staff from the maid's hand.

However, when he touched the Staff of the Hero, an unexpected event occurred: a bright light suddenly emanated from the crystal at the top of the Staff of the Hero.

The light disappeared after a flash.

The maid looked at Anjie in surprise and said, "Hero...you are...you are..."

"What's wrong with me?" Anjie asked, looking puzzled.

"No, we must inform His Majesty." With that, the maid suddenly ran off.

Completely bewildered, Anjie returned to the banquet hall with the Staff of the Warrior and Loke.

As soon as he arrived at the banquet hall, he saw Queen Eileen hurrying over.

"Mr. Anjie, I heard the Staff of the Hero was glowing in your hand just now, is that right?"

Anjie nodded. "That's right. Is there any explanation for the Staff of the Hero glowing?"

Queen Irene exclaimed with delight, "Besides enhancing the Aura Hero's power, the Staff of the Hero also has the function of selecting those who are qualified to become Aura Heroes."

After saying that, she added, "I'm talking about Aura Heroes who possess Aura power, not the kind selected through battle."

"Oh, I see..." Anjie suddenly realized.

Queen Eileen asked疑惑地问道, "Mr. Anjie, you possess the qualifications to become a Wave Guide Hero, aren't you even a little happy?"

Anjie said, "I know I possess the power of wave guidance!"

Now it was Queen Eileen's turn to be surprised. "Mr. Anger, you know?"

Anjie nodded. "Of course I know. I've been training in Aura myself. I came to Ordron City because I know there's a legend about the Aura Warrior here."

That's true. Although he came here mainly to find the Dream, a small part of the reason was related to the legend of the Aura Hero.

It's not surprising that he's curious about this place, considering he's a waveguide practitioner.

Queen Eileen was even more surprised. "Mr. Anjie knows how to cultivate aura?"

An Jie casually made up a story: "It's a family heirloom."

Queen Eileen suddenly realized, "So Mr. Anjie is actually the successor of the Waveguide lineage."

At this point, Queen Eileen's expression suddenly turned somber, and she told Ange:

"Our country was once a place where Aura Heroes were very active. Later, due to the war, most of the Aura Heroes died one after another until Aaron, the last Aura Hero, sacrificed himself to end the war."

The abilities of the Aura Heroes vary in strength, and Aaron is one of the strongest among them, even surpassing Lucario's Aura.

After hearing Queen Eileen's words, Anjie said, "It's such a pity."

At this moment, Queen Eileen suddenly said, "By the way, since Mr. Ange has already awakened his Aura, then I'll give that thing to you!"

"That thing?" Anjie asked, looking puzzled.

Queen Eileen said, "Mr. Ange will find out soon."

She then leaned down and whispered a few words in the maid's ear. The maid nodded and turned to leave.

Queen Eileen smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

An Jie nodded upon hearing this.

Before long, the maid returned, carrying a tray covered with a silver-gray silk cloth.

Queen Eileen said, "This is it." With that, the Queen lifted the silk cloth, revealing a pair of gloves placed on the tray.

The gloves are blue, with gemstones of unknown material inlaid on the back of the hands.

"This is..." Anjie said.

The Queen explained, "These are waveguide gloves, just like the Hero's Staff in your hand. They are both items that can enhance the power of waveguide heroes."

However, the Staff of Heroes is a national treasure of our country, and even as the Queen, I have no right to dispose of it at will.

But these gloves are different. They belong to the brave warrior Aaron, and I don't think Aaron would want them buried in the royal treasury. So I plan to give them to Mr. Angie.

These gloves were originally lost with Aaron's death, but Ash brought them back from the Tree of Beginning.

It was because of Ash and his friends that the Queen learned that Aaron had sacrificed his Aura to the Tree of Beginning to end the war.

The waveguide glove provides an incredibly powerful boost to the waveguide warrior's strength.

For example, Ash Ketchum has a very strong aura, but because he hasn't awakened it, he can't use the aura power. However, if he wears these gloves, he can even project the aura power outwards.

It's worth noting that even An Jie can't release his wave-guiding power.

When he cooks, he adjusts the waveguide of his own food to resonate with the waveguide of the ingredients, thereby adjusting the waveguide of the ingredients.

After the Queen explained the function of the waveguide gloves, Anjie asked, flattered and surprised:

"Is it really okay for me to give you such a precious prop?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Please accept it. Giving it to those who need it is much more meaningful than keeping it in a treasury."

An Jie hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Then I shall accept your offer!"

As he spoke, he took the gloves from the Queen's hands.

After putting on the gloves, Anjie indeed felt his waveguide power greatly amplified. He gathered his power in his palm, and a small blue energy ball appeared in his hand.

Although it is small, it is undoubtedly a wave missile.

It's just that Anjie couldn't do it before.

Seeing the ball of energy in Ange's palm, Queen Eileen exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the power of the Aura Warrior? How amazing!"

Anjie thanked the Queen gratefully, "I also want to thank the Queen for her generosity, otherwise I wouldn't be able to release the waveguide with my current strength."

The Queen smiled and said, "I am honored to have met a true wave guide hero."

Ash was the person who came closest to the Aura Hero before the Queen met Angelina, but unfortunately his Aura power did not awaken.

The Queen chatted with Anjie for a while before leaving, and Anjie solemnly put away the waveguide gloves.

However, Ayaka happened to see him release the wave missile, and after hesitating for a moment, she walked over.

"Um... hello."

Anjie looked at Ayaka with a puzzled expression and asked, "Miss Ayaka?"

"Mr. Anjie possesses the power of waveguides?" Ayaka asked with excitement on her face.

Anjie nodded and said, "Yes, you saw it just now?"

Ayaka said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to peek."

Anjie shook her head. "It's alright, it's not a secret that needs to be hidden. But did Miss Ayaka specifically come to ask about this?"

Ayaka nodded. "Actually, the reason I came to Ordron City this time is to inquire about things related to the Aura Hero."

Anjie asked疑惑地问道, "Does Miss Ayaka have something to discuss with the Aura Hero?"

Ayaka hesitated for a moment before explaining, "I accidentally discovered an ancient ruin. I wanted to go inside and explore, but I found that the ruin can only be opened with the power of aura. So, I had no choice but to come to Ordron City to see if I could try my luck."

"So, Miss Ayaka wants me to help you open the ruins?" Anjie asked.

Ayaka nodded and said, "Yes, people who awaken Aura are extremely rare. I searched for a long time and only found Mr. Ange, so Mr. Ange..."

Upon hearing this, Anjie fell into deep thought. "I can help with the work, but I have some things to take care of in Orudelang City right now, so I might not be able to leave for the time being."

Ayaka looked pleasantly surprised upon hearing this. "It's alright. The site of the ruins is in the Carlos region. I can go back to the Carlos region first, and we'll meet up there after Mr. Ange finishes his business."

"Miss Ayaka is a Kalosian," Angel said with surprise. No wonder she has a Key Stone and a Mega Stone.

"Yes!" Ayaka nodded.

Anjie smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I'm also from Carlos."

Ayaka exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Anjie too?!"

"Yes, I am from the Kingdom of Azot. And Miss Ayaka?" Ange asked.

Ayaka replied, "I'm from Baike City. Is the Kingdom of Azot the famous mechanical kingdom?"

"Yes, that's it," Anjie replied.

Having found common ground, the two quickly struck up a lively conversation.

Before they knew it, the banquet was drawing to a close. Anjie and Xuanxiang had become quite familiar with each other. After exchanging contact information, Anjie said:

"Miss Ayaka, let's meet again in Carlos."

I learned from the conversation that Ayaka would be leaving the Kanto region and returning to Carlos tomorrow.

Ayaka said, "Okay, but Mr. Anjie, please just call me Ayaka."

Anjie nodded. "Then don't call me 'Mr.' anymore, just call me Anjie!"

Ayaka nodded.

Just then, the sound of fireworks exploding outside rang out, and everyone went to the balcony, including Anjie and Xuanxiang.

In the night sky, colorful fireworks exploded one after another, dazzling and mesmerizing everyone who watched.

The Butterfly was originally hiding under the dining table, eating heartily. Not only did it eat, it also transformed into a little mouse, secretly stuffing any food it liked into its spatial backpack.

Of course, he didn't take too much; he only took one or two portions of each item.

However, there are so many kinds of food in the banquet hall that even taking just one or two portions can make you "rich overnight".
