i became lucario

Chapter 33 Chapter 33
Xiaori, this boy, Riolu is impressive.

At the beginning, when Xiaori was in Heijin City, Leolu was also watching the duel between Xiaori and the gymnasium owner Pyota.

Although he is a fledgling trainer, he is still immature in all aspects.

But Xiao Ri still has the vigor of young people and the spirit of hard work and enterprising.

Now, standing in front of Riolu and Lizhuang Chicken, Xiaori is wearing simple short-sleeved shorts and a peaked cap. Although he is not very old, it seems that he has already honed and practiced in the Pokémon world. It's been a while.

At least compared to a few days ago, this child can be said to have changed a lot.

In the eyes, there is more will and a firmer goal.

Instead of the freshness and curiosity of facing the unknown world in the eyes as before.

This kid, I don’t know what happened to him in just a few days.

However, he can now say that he is truly on his way to becoming a Pokémon trainer.

After a slight hesitation, perhaps because Xiaori had a good impression on Riolu, he finally stretched out his furry hands and took the fruit from Xiaori.

"……thanks."

Riolu said softly.

Two tree fruits, one handed to Li Zhuang Chicken.

The two Pokémon ate big chunks—they were really hungry.

He didn't even care about it, and Xiaori was shocked by Leolu's sudden speech.

"you you you you……"

Xiaori stretched out her hand and pointed at Riolu, as if she couldn't believe it.

"You...you can talk!"

"Kats!"

Riolu took another big mouthful and gnawed hard at the fruit in his hand.

"..."

Riolu didn't bother to explain anymore.

"Kats, Katz..."

Xiaori was still sorting out her confused thoughts when Riolu suddenly spoke.

The only sound left at the scene was the sound of two Pokémon eating tree fruits...

……

The two berries are divided equally and can only satisfy the hunger for a while.

Riolu and Lizhuang Chicken sat beside the rotten and fallen tree trunk, stroking their bellies.

"Gollum-gollum-"

Just one berry, although it has prevented their stomachs from turning over due to hunger and suffering, their bodies finally have a little bit of strength.

However, it seems that the food cravings have been exacerbated instead.

At this time, Xiaori finally recovered from the shock.

"Hey! You two, did someone talk just now?!"

Xiaori's excited expression and the way he danced and danced made Riolu barely able to see the little childishness in him.

However, at Xiaori's current age, in his former world, he can only be regarded as a child.

"Hello..."

Xiao Ri is young, but still looks quite naive.

Just this one thing made him excited for a long time.

"……Yes Yes."

Riolu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"I can talk, okay."

Xiaori jumped up all of a sudden!

"Wow! Really!"

"There really are talking Pokémon!"

"I actually met a talking Pokémon!"

……

Riolu shook his head and looked helplessly at the child dancing in front of him.

In this world where ten years old is considered an adult, children lose their childlike innocence early on.

Even when Riolu first met Xiaori just now, he couldn't connect him with a "child in his teens".

Perhaps only the present appearance is the original appearance of this child.

"correct!"

"You two, have you ever stayed in Heijin City?"

Xiaori seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and pointed at the two Pokémon.

"I remember, I seem to have seen Mr. Gunten from Heijin City from afar. It seems that there is a Leolu and a strong chicken beside him..."

Xiaori sat down between Riolu and Strong Chicken.

He has been traveling alone for many days.

This time, I finally met a "companion" who can communicate. No matter how you look at it, it's still just a child's day. I can't hide my excitement, and I can't wait to share my experience with Riolu.

Riolu nodded.

"...That's right, the two of us stayed in Heijin City for a while, and during that time, we were indeed staying by Mr. Gunten's side."

"Then you are..."

Just as Xiaori was about to say something, she was interrupted by Riolu's voice.

"No, we're not."

"Huh? I haven't finished talking yet..."

"Yes, but I know what you want to say."

Riolu shook his furry forefoot gently:

"We are not Mr. Gunten's Pokémon."

"The two of us are probably acquaintances with Mr. Gunten—we are friends at most."

Xiaori showed a shocked expression.

"However, it seems to me that the two of you and Mr. Gunten are very close..."

Riolu nodded:
"Mr. Gunten helped us a lot when we first arrived in Black Gold City."

"At that time, we were unfamiliar with each other."

"Without Mr. Gunten, it would be difficult for only two Pokémons to dream of living in Heijin City."

"Even now, the two of us are grateful to Mr. Gunten for the help he has provided all these days."

Riolu suddenly said seriously:
"But that doesn't mean we are Mr. Gunten's Pokémon."

"Or to put it more simply, we won't be any human Pokémon."

"This is the only thing that will never change."

Xiao Ri shook his head incomprehensibly:
"But shouldn't Pokémon and humans be dependent on each other as they are now?"

"of course not!"

Riolu stood up unhappily:
"Where is this interdependence?"

"This is human slavery to Pokémon!"

"Although it's called the Pokémon world, it's humans who control the world."

"Is this called interdependence?"

"Humans want and want Pokémon. Pokémon are tools they use to fight, improve their living conditions, and even food!"

"Of course, from a human perspective, there is nothing incomprehensible about this."

"But I'm a Pokémon after all."

"I can't accept this fate!"

"Scare! Scare!"

The sounds Riolu makes can be understood by other beings around him.

So let's talk about the dialogue between Riolu and Xiaori.

The strong chicken can understand half of it.

At this time, the strong chicken also danced and shouted, and found the resentment towards human beings in his heart!

"Uh...what is he talking about?"

Of course, Xiao Ri couldn't understand the language of Li Zhuang Chicken.

Riolu was silent for a moment:
"...You don't care to know what he said. In short, it's not a pleasant thing."

"Having said that, it is obviously untenable for humans and Pokémon to continue like this."

"Among Pokémon, individuals like me who have high intelligence and even greater power still exist, and there may be a lot of them."

"In the future, I'm afraid there will be no false prosperity and harmony between humans and Pokémon as it is today."

Riolu speaks righteously and impassionedly.

It seems that he is going to be the standard bearer of the Pokémon Rebellion!

Xiaotian scratched his head:
"what……"

"What you said..."

"All, all are so profound..."

"I, I'm just a child who just turned ten..."
