The gluttonous Pidgeot’s question could be set aside for now. Julian wanted to know the result of Aaron’s visits to the two kings.

Facing Julian’s question, Aaron sighed and said:

"The war can no longer be stopped. I plan to visit the Tree of Beginning tomorrow and meet Mew. Perhaps Mew has a way to calm their will to fight."

Julian immediately perked up.

They were going to meet Mew already?

"Sir Aaron, let us go with you for this mission. The Tree of Beginning is such a large place. Finding Mew won’t be easy."

"And for something like persuading Mew to help, we Pokémon will definitely be more effective."

Aaron inhaled and felt that Julian’s words made sense.

Pokémon naturally had a kind of wariness towards humans.

But towards other Pokémon, as long as they were not fighting over territory and food, their attitude was generally better.

"All right. This is also a good opportunity for me to test how far the two of you have progressed in Aura training. While searching for Mew, I can give you some targeted guidance too."

Lucario looked at Julian.

"Nasus, can I tell Sir Aaron about that Calm Mind you taught me?"

Julian nodded.

"Sir Aaron taught me how to use Aura, so naturally, I should also repay him."

As he spoke, Julian told him the method of Psychic-type meditation.

Aaron touched his chin.

"This is indeed somewhat similar to my method of training Aura. No wonder it helps Aura grow."

Julian was curious.

"Sir Aaron, didn’t you say that improving Aura requires cultivating the heart?"

Aaron nodded.

"That’s right. Every day, I ask my own heart how I, as an Aura Guardian, should use my Aura to benefit the people."

"Thinking about it now, it really is quite similar to the kind of Calm Mind you mentioned."

Julian sucked in a cold breath.

They were both about focusing attention, strengthening conviction, and tempering one’s mental strength. Saying that an Aura Guardian’s cultivation of the heart was Calm Mind seemed correct too.

Aaron smiled and waved his hand.

"I’ll go back and sleep first, then try to combine my original heart-cultivation method with the Calm Mind you told me about and modify it into a method more suitable for Aura Guardians."

Pidgeot immediately cried out anxiously.

"Pidge!"

Aaron laughed loudly.

"I almost forgot. I also promised to make meat soup for you."

Pidgeot happily nodded repeatedly.

After he left, Pidgeot asked again, "Nasus, since you’ve read so many books, are there any books specifically about how to make food more delicious?"

Lucario immediately exposed Pidgeot.

"If you want to ask whether there is delicious food suitable for you, just ask directly."

Pidgeot nodded like a chick pecking rice.

"Right, right, right. That’s exactly what I mean."

Julian rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

As a Trainer of a martial arts Gym, he really had never researched what kind of food bird Pokémon liked.

One Fighting-type Pokémon encyclopaedia he had read introduced the only bird-like Fighting Pokémon, Hawlucha.

There was one kind of Pokémon food suitable for Hawlucha’s taste.

"There is one, but I don’t know whether it suits your taste."

Pidgeot immediately nodded.

"It suits me! It definitely suits me!"

Julian smiled.

"Then I’ll go ask Nanny whether there are ingredients. If there are, I’ll make you a portion."

Pidgeot and Lucario both widened their eyes.

"You can cook too?"

Julian nodded.

"A little. Just a little."

When he reached the kitchen, Julian explained his purpose to Nanny.

Nanny smiled.

"I’ve never seen a Pokémon cook before. The ingredients you want should be in the storeroom. I’ll get them for you."

She brought the ingredients over. Julian looked at his claws.

Then he looked at the kitchen knife.

He could only ask Nanny to help process the ingredients.

After that, Julian personally mixed the ingredients into a lump, divided it into small portions, and placed them into the oven.

When Julian carried a bowl of food in front of him, Pidgeot’s eyes were filled with surprise. He picked up one piece in his beak and tasted it.

Pidgeot’s eyes widened.

So delicious!

"No, you really can cook!"

Julian smiled and introduced it.

"This is food for strengthening the muscles of bird Pokémon. After eating, you’d better go out and move around."

"Use moves like Gust and Quick Attack to digest it, otherwise you’ll easily get fat."

Nanny soon brought Pidgeot another large bowl of meat soup.

Wait, why has even the meat soup become tastier?

She smiled and said, "I didn’t expect that after listening to Lucario and adding a few kinds of grass fruits and bark to the soup, it would become this much more delicious."

One bite of cake, one sip of meat soup. Pidgeot ate with great pleasure.

The next day, when they set off for the Tree of Beginning, Aaron saw for the first time that Pidgeot was actually showing such blazing fighting spirit.

Lucario said, "Nasus made delicious food for Pidgeot yesterday, so that’s why he’s behaving so excitedly."

Aaron smiled.

"Nasus can even cook. As expected, reading more books really is different. When we come back, let me taste your cooking too."

Julian sensed Aaron’s Aura in surprise.

Compared to yesterday, Aaron’s Aura had actually increased by a full thirty percent!

"Sir Aaron, your Aura..."

Aaron laughed brightly.

"I practised your meditation technique a little. I didn’t expect my Aura to rise with a swoosh."

"All right. Eat. After eating, we’ll set off early."

Aaron rode Pidgeot, while the two Lucario ran on the ground.

Their speed was not slower than Pidgeot carrying a person.

After passing through the thick mist three times, Pidgeot landed in a sheltered mountain hollow.

They lit a bonfire, and Aaron distributed the dry rations he had brought to everyone.

While eating, Aaron introduced the Aura applications he had developed to Julian.

"Nasus, I know you’ve read books and your mind is sharp. I’ll first tell you these Aura applications. Remember them, then practise slowly later."

"Besides the attacking move Aura Sphere, Aura can also open barriers, heal injuries, strengthen defence, and increase movement speed."

"We won’t talk about basic telepathy and environmental perception today. Let’s talk about the techniques I just mentioned."

In the application of Aura, Aaron truly was an expert.

For every technique, he could clearly explain the principle in detail.

He did not only know how to use them.

Julian truly benefited greatly.

He felt that after going out, he could open an Aura Guardian training class.

It was just that these techniques were a little like Aura versions of Barrier, Agility, Heal Pulse, and Calm Mind.

Aside from Aura Sphere, which was a Fighting-type move, everything else was Psychic-type.

Among the many techniques Aaron introduced, Julian selected the acceleration technique and trained it intensely.

When the time came, he would activate Ripple Sprint, hold Bone Rush in his hand, and charge through the two armies.

He trained all the way until before sleep. Lucario Nasus’s body had basically become familiar with how to use it, ensuring he could use it immediately in battle.

Early the next morning, Lucario Nasus began training Ripple Sprint again.

Lucario was puzzled.

"Nasus, why do you like the acceleration technique so much?"

Julian smiled faintly.

"I gave it a more interesting name. Ripple Sprint! Cool, right?"

Lucario nodded.

"It does sound pretty good."

The group set off again. Suddenly, the earth began to tremble.

A large rock suddenly drilled out from the cliff wall.

Blue light flashed across Julian, and he used Ripple Sprint to dodge.

The large rock landed, its body opening up and transforming into a rock giant.

Julian’s eyes widened.

Sure enough, it’s Regirock!

Fortunately, he had Ripple Sprint. Otherwise, he would have been hit by Regirock’s Dig just now.
