Pokémon: Starting at the Silver Conference

"Riolu!"

"Hello!"

The grandfather who was in charge of taking care of Riolu hugged Riolu tightly, and the joy of reunion made the grandfather and Riolu cry.

"As expected of Mr. Xiaozhi, you are so reliable!" Hinata said to Xiaozhi with a smile.

This immediately aroused Xiaoguang's vigilance, and he subconsciously moved closer to Xiaozhi.

Originally, after learning about Riolu, Hinata, who was in contact here, was ready to go with the grandfather to meet up with Soichi.

Unexpectedly, Xiaozhi and his friends came back with Riolu before they set off.

If Xiaozhi's current identity was not well-known in the league, Hinata would have invited Xiaozhi to become a Pokémon keeper.

"Miss Hinata, you are so kind."

Xiaozhi chuckled, and saw the old man walking up with Riolu, saying gratefully: "Thank you very much, on behalf of the royal family, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"You are welcome."

Xiaozhi responded with a smile, "I heard that the people of the Bird Kingdom take it as their responsibility to inherit the Bird and pass down this precious cultural history. As one of them, you have made great efforts. It is really great, Grandpa Thor."

Xiaozhi's heart is full of sincere admiration for this old man who has devoted his life to the inheritance of the Bird.

At this time, Riolu suddenly used the power of the wave to call Grandpa Thor twice, which instantly lit up the old man's eyes.

"You mean, I can use the waveguide to talk to you and convey my emotions?"

Grandpa Thor confirmed with Riolu, with a surprised and cautious look on his face, and then turned to Xiaozhi and said: "Mr. Xiaozhi, I wonder if you can go to the kingdom with me?"

Not only Soichi and Hinata, but also Xiaoguang and Lila looked at each other in surprise.

I don't know why Grandpa Thor suddenly looked like this, and even used a respectful title for Xiaozhi.

Only Lila, who was relatively smart, quickly associated Xiaozhi's ability, plus the importance of the waveguide to this kingdom.

However, as for what Grandpa Thor wanted to do, she didn't know.

In fact, Xiaozhi was also confused about this.

In this way, at the invitation of Grandpa Thor, the group came to the castle of the Waveguide Kingdom.

The old man's status in this kingdom was obviously very noble. They encountered almost no obstacles and were taken to a solemn church.

The group walked in, full of curiosity and expectation.

"Wow, what a beautiful crystal!"

Xiao Guang was deeply attracted by the towering blue crystal in the center of the church, which exuded a mysterious and luxurious color.

"This is the waveguide crystal."

Grandpa Thor's face showed a proud expression, and he began to tell the story: "In the distant past, the Sinnoh continent was just beginning to take shape, and many Pokémon on the mainland were unfortunately eroded by the evil aura of the other dimension, which brought endless suffering to the people at that time."

"So, our kingdom selected a brave and fearless hero, who embarked on a journey to conquer the evil Pokémon. After a long battle and seal, the hero finally successfully completed his mission and brought back this waveguide crystal when he returned!"

Grandpa Thor's voice was full of respect and emotion, as if that heroic era was reappearing before his eyes.

Xiaoguang and the others listened with great interest, but Xiaozhi asked curiously: "So, this crystal is very likely to be the inheritance of the kingdom, right?"

Hearing this, Grandpa Thor was slightly startled, and then smiled kindly: "Yes, basically every adult child in this country will come here to perform a special ceremony. If you can get the recognition of the crystal, you will be crowned as the new hero."

Speaking of this, Grandpa Thor couldn't help but sighed: "It's a pity that in recent years, batches of children have come here, but in the end, the crystal didn't react at all. Therefore, the royal family decided to let me bring Riolu into the castle in advance and let it get familiar with the children who will participate in the ceremony later. Perhaps, in this way, the recognition of the crystal can be stimulated."

It's like trying a dead horse as a living horse, right?

The bond between people and Pokémon is very wonderful, and Xiaozhi doesn't think this method will be effective.

Just as he shook his head slightly, Grandpa Thor suddenly turned to him and said solemnly, "However, after listening to what Riolu said to me just now, I think you are very likely to be the new hero we have been waiting for, Mr. Xiaozhi!"

"Eh? Xiaozhi?"

Xiaoguang, Lila and others were all surprised. They didn't expect things to develop to this point.

"I see."

Xiaozhi finally understood why the old man suddenly invited them to the castle.

It seems that he is the dead horse...But this also indirectly shows how important the continuation of this inheritance is to them, otherwise they would not have specially asked him, an outsider, to try it.

Although the inheritance itself is not interesting to Xiaozhi, it is undoubtedly a delightful thing if he can make Riolu his companion through this ceremony.

After all, who can refuse a blue dog who can roll balls, not to mention that the evolved Lucario is so handsome!

So Xiaozhi agreed very readily, "Then how should I cooperate?"

"It's very simple, just focus on putting your palm close to the crystal."

Grandpa Thor pointed to the large crystal in the center, and the method was simple and easy to understand.

Xiaozhi nodded, walked to the crystal without hesitation, closed his eyes, and gently put his palm on the crystal.

Then, under the expectant gaze of everyone, the crystal suddenly bloomed with brilliant blue aurora, instantly filling the entire church.

The light was like a dream, reflecting the pillars in the church and the murals on the ceiling beautifully.

Xiaoguang was amazed and covered her mouth, fearing to disturb Xiaozhi.

Until the light gradually gathered into Xiaozhi's body and finally disappeared, the whole church returned to peace again.

"Great, great..."

Grandpa Thor was so excited that tears streamed down his face, "The person we have been waiting for has appeared, Riolu!"

"Hello..."

Riolu's eyes were bright, and he looked at Xiaozhi and returned to him.

"It seems that we are really destined to be together, Riolu."

Xiaozhi said with a smile.

This waveguide crystal is really a good thing. He can clearly feel that the waveguide in his body has become more pure and flowing continuously, as if the capacity has become larger.

"Can I really take Riolu away, Grandpa Thor?"

When they parted, Xiaozhi and others stood on the hillside outside the kingdom.

The old man looked at the reluctant Riolu and smiled gently, "The inheritance of the Bodao Kingdom is to let each brave man take Riolu on a journey, and then complete his mission for this land along the way."

The deep meaning in his words needs no further explanation.

Xiaozhi bowed slightly to the old man and responded sincerely: "I understand."

Then everyone said goodbye.

Souichi and Hinata completed the task and prepared to return to write a report.

Xiaozhi and others continued their journey.
