Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

"You want to see Her Highness Irene? Now?"

Hearing this request, the old woman slowly narrowed her eyes into a thin slit, then suddenly opened them again and declined politely: "As the head maid, I can only express my regret. Because Her Highness Irene is resting today, it is not convenient for her to see guests. Why don't you two register for an appointment tomorrow and come again."

Between the lines, she had already given enough space, showing the royal demeanor and etiquette.

Please try to imagine that one day, as the sky gradually darkened, two tall and strong men suddenly knocked on the door of a house and said they wanted to meet the hostess of the house.

This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, seems very suspicious! What's more, one of them is wearing a black robe, hiding his face in the shadows - the index of the degree of suspicion is even higher and higher, and it has reached a new level.

However, this is still a royal castle after all.

Although the city of Orudran has declined somewhat in recent years, it has had to apply for funding from the Pokémon League in the name of protecting cultural relics and historical sites to curb its decline and develop itself into a museum-like attraction.

But as the saying goes, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse", there are still many powerful guard trainers stationed inside this castle - most of them are trained or hired by the royal family, and a few are sent by the Pokémon League.

This security force, which is sufficient to deal with most emergencies, is what the head maid relies on.

"It's actually like this. We are on this trip because we have some exclusive information about Yalang, the brave warrior from Bodao hundreds of years ago, and we want to tell Her Highness Yu Irene." Liang Yin, who never fought an unprepared battle, naturally had a plan in mind and spoke out what he had prepared in his mind.

Although his hook is straight and the bait is salty, he is just like Jiang Taigong waiting for those who are willing to take the bait.

"Are you talking about the information about Lord Yalang, the brave hero of Bodao a thousand years ago?" The old woman shook her head gently, as if she was laughing, and her silver hair swayed with it. "In the history books of our Orudran City, the life of this hero has been clearly recorded..."

Her meaning was very clear.

In short, "no one knows the brave hero Arlang of Bird better than the royal family of Orudran City."

How is it possible that outsiders know such so-called exclusive information?

After all, this is Aaron's hometown, and hundreds of years ago, he was also a brave knight respected by Queen Lynn at that time, and his daily life was also carried out in this castle.

Now, hundreds of years later, even the room where Yalang once lived has undergone several renovations and was finally used as a separate exhibition hall for the public to pay homage to the legendary hero.

The old objects with historical and cultural value were sorted out one by one and placed in glass display stands.

"Hey, are you so confident? Then I have to test you. Please listen to the question. Who is Yalang's Pokémon partner?" Liang Yin asked with a blink of his eyes.

"It's a very rare wave Pokémon, a Lucario." Pushing her reading glasses on the bridge of her nose with her index finger, the old woman calmly gave the answer without even thinking, "It's not only Lord Alang's Pokémon partner, but also his wave apprentice."

The answer given by the other party was very detailed, even better than the information Liang Yin knew through the plot.

"Sir, if this is the information you are talking about..."

Normally, as one gets older, one naturally has more experience and has seen all kinds of people. The old woman was indifferent to Liang Yin's applause, nor was she embarrassed. She just smiled and stretched out her hand: "Then you two should go back."

"Well, there's no rush for that," Liang Yin spread his hands and continued to ask the previous question. After all, "climbing up the ladder" was already his traditional skill. "Then, grandma, do you know what the final outcome of that Lucario was?"

What is Lucario's final fate?

The world only paid attention to the hero who sacrificed his life to save the day, but few people paid attention to his Pokémon Lucario...

So this question also made the old woman stunned, and then she gave a comprehensive answer according to the contents of the history books written by the royal historians:

"After the brave hero Alan sacrificed himself in accordance with the great spirit of chivalry, quelled the unprovoked war, and saved the castle and the people from danger, Lucario, who had been with him day and night, disappeared."

"Some people speculate that Lucario died of sadness, because Pokémon that can sense the emotions of others naturally have a more sensitive and delicate heart."

"Some scholars also believe that as the apprentice and Pokémon of the Wave Hero Alan, Lucario embarked on an eternal journey, doing good deeds and practicing the Wave Messenger's beliefs with practical actions until the end of his life."

She paused and continued, "Of course, from a personal perspective, I prefer the second ending - inheriting the will of a friend, which is more romantic and legendary."

Liang Yin deeply agreed with this.

If he puts himself in his shoes, he would prefer the second version - as a Pokémon with the strength of steel and the passion for fighting, Lucario should not and would not end his life hastily.

"So, gentlemen, it's getting late now. Please come back another day." After two rounds of questions and answers, the old woman still did not forget her original intention and once again let Liang Yin and the others leave first.

"If you want to know more about the legendary life of Bird Warrior Yalang, you can buy a ticket tomorrow morning and visit the exhibition room through the visitor channel," she said as she closed the door. "There will be a special tour guide to explain it to you two."

"But what if I say that Lucario is not dead yet, but has just fallen into a long sleep?" Liang Yin stretched out his hand to stop the door from closing, and finally threw out the "trump card" that had been hidden for a long time.

The action of closing the door paused, and the head maid narrowed her eyes again, as if she was thinking: "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask Her Highness Irene for instructions."

Then, she closed the door. But judging from the footsteps coming from inside, the old woman must have gone to ask Queen Irene for instructions. This was a necessary procedure and understandable.

Mewtwo, who had been waiting outside the door with Liang Yin and Eevee without saying a word, finally spoke up: "It's something that can be solved quickly with super powers, but now it's made so troublesome."

Eh? Is Mewtwo complaining?
