Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Queen Eileen doesn't look very old, probably only around twenty-one or twenty-two.

The group followed the queen's maids and guards to the towering castle in the center of the city of Ordron.

After navigating through a complex network of passageways, we arrived at the top floor of the castle.

The four men bowed to the Queen.

Of the group, Daigo's aristocratic manners were the most impeccable.

Even just sitting there, he exudes an air of elegance and nobility.

"Queen Irene."

Queen Eileen smiled and said, "Thank you."

Her gentle eyes swept over the four of them.

Eileen, with her full head of blonde hair, looked at them, raised her hand, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to invite you all here so late. It was because of the arrangements for the celebration that I finally had some free time now."

“No, it’s our honor,” Daigo said.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Xia Yan to come. I've been asking around to find out your location so I could send you an invitation."

I heard you were in the Carlos region, but my men went there and found you had already left.

Ultimately, it settled on Xia Yan.

Just as Xia Yan was wondering, he saw Queen Eileen blush slightly and say something a little shyly.

He bowed slightly.

"Your people made a wasted trip."

Xia Yan smacked his lips to himself.

Although the city of Orudron rarely interacts with the outside world, Queen Irene is indeed very pleasant to talk to.

"Uh…"

Xia Yan looked bewildered.

"No." Queen Eileen smoothed her drooping golden ribbons, rose, and walked slowly toward them, trailing her long dress.

Her blush deepened, and she took a notebook and a quill pen from the head maid, saying in a clear voice, "Mr. Xia Yan, I'm a fan of yours, could you please sign my autograph?"

Xia Yan blinked.

Looking at the notebook and quill pen hanging in front of him, he quickly said:

Daigo and Wataru, who were standing next to him, were both stunned for a moment.

Immediately, the smiles on their lips turned somewhat strange.

Queen Eileen smiled sweetly, like a young girl, and explained:

"Although our city of Orudelang has had little contact with the outside world before, the internet has been connected with the help of the alliance. I also learned about you, Mr. Xia Yan, online."

"My pleasure."

He took the items.

Monini.

Upon seeing the elf, Xia Yan suddenly realized what was happening.

in particular…"

Queen Eileen waved her hand, and a playful and adorable elf skipped and hopped to her side with light steps.

Queen Irene picked up Monini.

"It was through that paper that I saw a lot of information about you, Mr. Xia Yan, online, and then..."

He returned the notebook with his name written on it to Queen Irene and listened as she continued speaking.

"I didn't expect Monini to be a fairy-type spirit. This is all thanks to your thesis, Mr. Xia Yan."

Regardless of age or status, girls are all the same when it comes to idolizing celebrities.

Xia Yan chuckled twice and touched his nose.

Her fair face was flushed.

so.

"So, Mr. Xia Yan, may I invite you to serve as the Waveguide Messenger tomorrow?"

Queen Eileen blinked, looking at Xia Yan with hopeful eyes.

I never imagined I would have such an influence.

Daigo and Wataru, standing nearby, had their heads down, their expressions hidden, but their shoulders twitching occasionally suggested they were holding back their emotions.

"Waveguide Messenger?"

The head maidservant beside her explained:

It seems.

Xia Yan knew that she hadn't signed up for the celebration competition.

general speaking.

She was just a high-class guest of honor.

"This position has existed in Ordron City for thousands of years. The last person to hold the title of 'Aura Messenger' was the 'Aura Hero' Aaron. However, since then, no warriors who can use Aura power have appeared in Ordron City, so this position has remained vacant."

Later, it gradually evolved into the important position of bestowing the 'Staff of Heroes' upon the champion of the festival.

“It’s suitable,” Eileen said confidently.

"Even if it's not suitable, I'll make it suitable."

After the celebration, he presented the "Staff of Heroes" on behalf of the Queen.

After understanding, Xia Yan hesitated and asked, "Is it appropriate for me, an outsider, to ask this?"

Fine.

So be it, a senior hostess is fine, since he doesn't have to pay for it anyway.

Xia Yan: "..."

She pursed her lips, and finally nodded.

Led by Queen Eileen, Xia Yan and the others walked together to the open-air balcony outside the royal palace.

During this time, Daigo and Watari would occasionally raise their eyebrows at Natsuhiko.

Upon seeing Xia Yan agree, Queen Eileen immediately revealed a smile as bright as the rising sun.

The head maid nodded to the guards standing at the door, and the two guards walked into the corridor.

Daigo's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the crystals.

"This is... waveguide ore?"

Xia Yan was too lazy to pay them any attention.

On the balcony, there are several clusters of azure blue crystals.

Du's attention, however, was drawn to a huge tree shadow shrouded in mist behind the layered mountains in the hazy moonlight in the distance.

Because the surrounding mountains are very high, tightly enveloping the tree, it cannot be seen unless viewed from a specific angle and height.

"If that's how you want to understand it, Mr. Daigo, that's fine too," Queen Irene replied with a smile.

"That is…"

It's clear that there was a reason why this castle was built the way it was when it was renovated.

"The Tree of the Beginning of the World." Queen Irene's expression slowly turned serious.

Even during the day, the surroundings are filled with fog, making it impossible to see such a sight.

In the entire city of Orudron, the only place where this tree can be seen is from the balcony at the top of the castle.

Queen Eileen sighed.

"The reason why the city of Orudron has been slow to align itself with the Alliance is because it is worried that the exposure of the Tree of Origin will attract unnecessary covetousness."

"Is this the legendary Tree of Origin?" Wataru murmured.

I had long heard the legends about the Tree of Origin, and countless people had searched for it but had never been able to find it.

Once someone knows the location of the Tree of Origin, it will inevitably attract countless people.

Whether it's for the purpose of exploration or to pursue the secrets of the Tree of Origin.

The group remained silent.

This was almost inevitable.

"But now integration with the alliance is unavoidable. I just hope that you can help our city of Orudron to the best of your ability, and help us protect the Tree of Origin. If the Tree of Origin is damaged..."

那”

Isn't the famous adventurer Kiki Shamaz from the original work one of them?

Queen Eileen, who was leaning on the railing, turned around and looked at the group.

Queen Erin may look young, but she is not entirely a simple fangirl.

Her primary identity will always be that of the Queen of Ordron.

Calling them over in the middle of the night, meeting them, and appointing Xia Yan as the "Wave Guide Messenger" were secondary matters.

The real key is to let them see the Tree of Origin and then ask for their help.

From her perspective, her actions, whether for the sake of the city of Orudron or for the Tree of Origin, are perfectly justifiable.

But it must be said that she is very good at choosing people.

She must have been aware of the influence behind these individuals, their development process, and their potential, and invested early in the hope of receiving help in the future.

of course.

“We in Germany will definitely take care to protect this secret,” Daigo assured him.
