Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 429 The Tropical Dragon Returns Home.

"Did he say where he works now?" Lu Li asked curiously.

As far as he knew, in just one year, Lian Sheyi had gone undercover on the dark web and in a cult, and now it seemed that Lian Sheyi had changed bosses again.

Yao Yifei shook his head: "No, the other party hung up after speaking hurriedly."

"Ok."

Lu Li nodded with some regret. He was still quite curious about where the Snake Doctor was currently infiltrating.

"Should we take action to warn those powerful families?" Yao Yifei asked again.

No matter what, Ike is a member of the Lu family. If a powerful family wants to harm Ike, what's the difference between that and harming the Lu family?

Moreover, Ike is an idealist with unlimited potential. For both public and private reasons, the Lu family should intervene.

"There's no need for you to intervene; just remind Ike." Lu Li shook his head.

Those aristocratic families were unaware that Ike already had an ideal dragon by his side.

The Ideal Messenger is different from other divine messengers; in some ways, the Ideal Messenger can also be considered a divine trainer.

Of course, it mainly depends on the personal charisma of the idealist.

But one thing is certain: Ike is impossible to kill now. Not to mention your aristocratic families, even if all the clans from the secret realms joined forces, they would not be a match for Ike.

Zekrom is a genuine first-level god, and he's also personally protecting Ike.

If the remnants of the Mystic Realm can kill Ike under these circumstances, then he is in even greater danger.

At this stage, Milerton is no match for Czechoslovakia, as Milerton is currently injured.

Yao Yifei nodded, but still asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid something will happen to Ike?"

"Don't you know?" Lu Li asked Yao Yifei in confusion.

"What do I know?" Yao Yifei looked completely bewildered.

Lu Li: "Ike is accompanied by the Dragon of Ideals."

"what!"

Yao Yifei stood up abruptly, his face full of surprise.

Freya, who was standing next to her, was also greatly shocked, but her reaction was not as great as Yao Yifei's.

Lu Li said speechlessly, "I thought you knew."

“You never told me this at all.” Yao Yifei rolled her eyes at Lu Li, then said with a smile, “If that’s the case, then we really don’t need to worry about Ike.”

Freya interjected, "I wonder what the True Hero's current situation is."

In this era's struggle for truth, they have already chosen sides.

After all, Ekko is one of their own, and they are destined to fight only for their ideals.

"Still no news, at least I haven't received any news." Lu Li shook his head.

The true hero remains a mystery. As Evil Hoopa has said, the current true hero is only in reserve, and the twin tails haven't made a decision yet.

"Hupa, has the true dragon not yet appeared?" Lu Li used his divine sense to communicate with the evil Hupa in the Punishment Pot.

"No, that guy is probably still asleep." Evil Hoopa said with a hint of mockery in his voice.

While Zekrom has already taken action, Reshiram is still fast asleep. In terms of action, Reshiram has already lost.

"Alright." Lu Li silently severed his divine sense.

"You two can remind Ike. I'll take the Tropical Dragons and the others to the Ninth Generation Rift later." To keep the two women from worrying, Lu Li added, "I'll call Milton too."

"Isn't this too rushed? You used to prepare for a long time before going to the secret realm." Yao Yifei was still a little worried.

Lu Li smiled and said confidently, "I'm already prepared, since none of the preparations I made before have been used."

"Should we bring the Great Natural Bird along? It's lived in the Ninth Generation Rift for so long, it could be our guide," Freya suggested.

"No need," Lu Li shook his head.

The Great Natural Bird is already a bit of a drag on the team. After all, it has no bond with him and can't unleash its full fighting power in battle. Moreover, its strength is only at the Elite Four level.

After leading the first team, Lu Li embarked on an adventure.

Lu Li first had the Great Natural Bird take them to the entrance of the Ninth Generation Secret Realm.

Looking at the big tree in front of him, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

This is where the dream began.

The pressure he felt from that abandoned monkey is still fresh in his memory.

but now……

To him, a mere abandoned monkey of dojo level was just a roadside animal.

Lu Li didn't see any familiar faces here, because that unfortunate kid was currently working in the Pidgey Forest.

"Tropical Dragon, you're going back to your hometown, aren't you happy?" Lu Li joked with a smile, then tapped a Poké Ball on his waist twice.

The Poké Ball trembled slightly, reflecting that the tropical dragon inside was not at peace.

"Don't rush, we'll let you out once you're inside the secret realm," Lu Li reassured him.

After entering the secret realm entrance hidden in the big tree, Lu Li looked at the not-so-unfamiliar entrance in front of him, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

A year ago (rounding up), he stood here in the same place, dreaming of exploring this secret realm again after he became stronger.

He originally thought this would take a long time, perhaps even more than a decade.

However, less than a year later, he was standing here again.

After crossing the entrance to the secret realm, Lu Li released his eager companions.

"roar~"

(Is this the tropical dragon's hometown? It seems to have plenty of energy.)
Charizard shared its thoughts on this secret realm.

The tropical dragon looked around curiously; it was unfamiliar with this secret realm and had no memory of it at all.

I don't understand the so-called "feeling of trepidation when nearing home"; this place feels no different from other secret realms.

Home is where your trainer is; your hometown or something like that, you can just take a look.

The tropical dragon thought to itself.

"How should we proceed with the exploration..."

Lu Li looked around with some difficulty, hesitated for 0.5 seconds, and then skillfully took out the three-piece fortune-telling set.

Indecision, quantum mechanics.

Fortunately, I used the Bagua diagram to put the copper coin into the tortoise shell, then put my hands together and gently shook the shell.

As the three copper coins landed on the Bagua diagram, Lu Li continuously made calculations with his right hand.

After a moment, Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief.

The divination indicated that he would have a close call in this secret realm, with no major dangers or even any significant misfortunes.

This is not normal.

After all, the Ninth Generation Secret Realm is a super-large secret realm. The overlords of normal super-large secret realms are all at the sect leader level, and some may even be divine beasts.

However, considering that Milton was with him, it all became quite normal.

It's as normal as it gets.

With a supreme deity by my side, where in this world can't I go?
Considering that he came here to explore the secret realm, Lu Li decided to maximize his benefits.

Going south is a very auspicious sign, as is going east.

Lu Li decided to go south first to see what he could find.

Lu Li remembered that the Abandoned Monkey had also come from the south carrying a tropical dragon's spirit egg.

After deciding on the direction, Lu Li recalled his other companions and then jumped onto the back of Charizard.

He didn't come to the secret realm to steal anything, nor was he afraid of danger, so naturally he chose the most comfortable method, the one that would allow him to gather intelligence along the way. He unleashed the aura of a peak Heavenly King, and the energy concentration at the exit of the secret realm wasn't as high as in other places.

At first, no foolish elves came to provoke them.

As they got further and further away from the exit of the secret realm, the strength of the wild elves gradually increased.

"Roar!!!"

An excited, even somewhat thrilled, roar came from afar.

A similarly imposing Elite Four-level Pokémon flew towards them.

The elf's flight speed wasn't fast, but it wasn't too slow either.

Its whole body is brownish-gray, with a long neck, thick limbs, and three green leaves on its head. One large leaf covers its head, while two smaller leaves are distributed on its sides, and three more leaves encircle its neck.

It has four huge leaves on its back, and a bunch of banana-like yellow fruits hanging from its chin...

Those who came were Xiao Lü's relatives.

"A tropical dragon of the Elite Four level, such a gentle Pokémon can be so strong, the super-large secret realm truly lives up to its name." Lu Li sighed softly.

(To avoid confusion, Lu Li's tropical dragon is referred to by its nickname in this chapter.)
Facing the tropical dragon flying towards them, Little Green did not show hostility, but rather trepidation and unease.

Lu Li immediately noticed Xiao Lü's emotional change.

"What's wrong? Tropical Dragon?" Lu Li asked anxiously.

"Lu Li, I'm fine, it's just that I have a strange feeling. That tropical dragon gives me a very warm feeling," Xiao Lü explained.

kind?

And it was a tropical dragon.

Lu Li instantly had an idea.

If nothing unexpected happens, something dramatic is about to unfold.

A large-scale family reunion is coming.

Lu Li quickly activated his Spirit Language Technique.

He no longer needs any magic to communicate with tropical dragons, but he can't communicate with unfamiliar tropical dragons.

If we don't communicate with our minds, then we can only use spiritual language.

Besides, they came to acknowledge Green as their son, not to acknowledge him as their trainer.

"My child! My child! I've finally found you!"

The tropical dragon's cry is a kind of cry that is both weathered and somewhat benevolent.

Upon seeing Little Green, the child who had been separated for many years... a year, the tropical dragon did not directly attack Lu Li on Little Green's back.

Instead, they excitedly shouted "tropical dragon!"

"Are you... Mom?" Xiao Lü asked hesitantly.

Xiao Lü's tone was a mix of nervousness and disbelief.

Although it could sense the blood connection between the two, Little Green was still a little nervous because the two had never met before.

“Yes, I’m Mom.” The tropical dragon nodded excitedly, then affectionately tossed its head and rubbed its neck against Little Green’s neck.

"My child, my child!"

"Mom has finally found you!"

The tropical dragon kept roaring, both excited and somewhat incredulous, fearing that it was all just a dream.

After all, its child has actually returned on its own, and has become so strong and powerful...

Upon seeing Lu Li on Xiao Lü's back, the tropical dragon already guessed why its child had gone missing.

Hate?

At first, it did hate him, but after seeing the bond between the tropical dragon and Lu Li, it felt less resentful.

The chains of bonds will not lie to the spirits.

Most importantly, strength cannot deceive the spirits.

Little Green possesses the strength of a Heavenly King, and its vitality is as dazzling as the sun.

My child has been raised very well by this human, exceptionally, exceptionally well.

As hatred subsided, gratitude welled up in my heart.

In fact, Lu Li's feelings were also somewhat complicated.

He never expected that the elf egg that the abandoned monkey had taken was actually a female.

"How did a Gym Leader-level Abandoned Monkey steal the Pokémon Egg from an Elite Four-level Tropius?" Lu Li wondered to himself.

Tropical dragons are not social creatures; they are generally solitary, with only one tropical dragon typically living in an orchard.

Faced with the enthusiastic tropical dragon mother, Little Green said a little shyly, "Mom, why don't we go downstairs and talk?"

Faced with her child's request, the tropical dragon mother quickly nodded.

"Come with Mommy, Mommy will take you home." After saying this, the tropical dragon mother led the way.

The two tropical dragons were not too slow; in less than 10 minutes, they arrived at an orchard.

The orchard is not large, only about 20 mu (approximately 3.3 hectares).

Moreover, the fruit produced by the trees was not particularly healthy, which shows that these trees were not well cared for.

"Child, have some tree fruit." The tropical dragon mother picked a few fruits from the fruit tree in the middle of the orchard.

That's a mimosa fruit.

This fruit is a rare type of tree fruit, similar to the Sand Scale Fruit. The Mystery Fruit can enhance the life recovery ability of Pokémon.

Like the sand lily fruit, the fruit of this tree is also relatively rare as a precious tree fruit.

Little Green nodded silently and then took the Mizhi Fruit that her mother handed her.

"Because I've been looking for my child, I forgot to take care of the orchard," the tropical dragon mother explained somewhat apologetically.

Hearing this, Lu Li felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your permission before..."

The tropical dragon mother gently shook her head and said, "Child, it's not your fault. If I had known that humans had taken my child, I might not have been in such a hurry."

The reason the tropical dragon mother was so anxious to find her tropical dragon was because she was worried that after the tropical dragon hatched, no one would take care of it and it would die in the wilderness.

Tropical dragons are not social creatures; once they reach adulthood, they venture out into the wild, which can be quite dangerous in secret realms.

Just like those orphans who embark on a journey in the real world.

Becoming a Pokémon trainer is considered one of the better jobs in the Pokémon community.

So the tropical dragon mother didn't blame Lu Li; on the contrary, she was grateful to Lu Li for taking such good care of the tropical dragon.

After finishing its meal of the Mystery Fruit, Little Green carefully collected the pit, deciding to plant the seed when it got back.

"May I visit your orchard?" Lu Li asked, standing up.

“Of course.” The tropical dragon mother nodded.

Hearing this, Xiao Lü followed along, ready to visit the orchard with Lu Li.

However, Lu Li stopped Xiao Lü, who wanted to follow, saying, "Xiao Lü, you should stay here and keep your mother company."

Hearing this, Xiao Lü hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Tropical Dragon's mother's orchard isn't very big, and there are other Pokémon in the orchard, but these Pokémon aren't very strong.

The strongest is only at the elite level; there aren't even any gym-level Pokémon.

After some investigation, Lu Li discovered that the elves in the orchard were all very weak elves, and they must be weak elves protected by a tropical dragon mother.

In the dog-eat-dog world of the underworld, tropical dragons are among the few creatures willing to protect weaker creatures.
