Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Not far away, Sarud also noticed Xia Yan's actions and saw Coco's condition, and couldn't help but blink.

Xia Yan put Coco back on the ground and then summoned Latios.

"Latios, please explain this to them for me."

"Os!"

Upon hearing this, Latios' eyes flashed with superpowers, and through telepathy, he conveyed Xia Yan's intentions and his willingness to do so to Zarude and Coco.

Coco and Sarud, who were finally able to calm down and listen to what Xia Yan had to say, then realized...

They seem to have... mistaken someone for someone else...

However, upon hearing that Xia Yan wanted to soak in the "Healing Spring," Sarud's expression turned serious again.

"Saru!"

It stated in an extremely firm tone that this was impossible.

Xia Yan knew what the "Healing Fountains" represented to the current Zarude, and he also understood the "Forest Rules" established within the Zarude community.

Therefore, he did not show a particularly resolute attitude.

Anyway.

We're not far from the "Healing Spring" now. At worst, we can just fight our way there, soak in the "Healing Spring" to recover our condition, and then leave. During this time, we'll only defeat the Zarude tribe, without causing any damage to them or the Divine Tree or the "Healing Spring".

Actually, he was more curious as to why Sarud and Coco attacked Xia Yan without hesitation the moment they saw him.

There must be some reason why the current situation differs significantly from the original work.

Through Latios, Xia Yan inquired about this matter.

In this regard.

Although Sarud and Coco hadn't fully trusted Xia Yan yet, it wasn't a secret that couldn't be told, so they each told him the whole story.

Xia Yan's expression gradually turned serious after listening to their story.

in fact.

The reason for this is very simple.

Just as Xia Yan had predicted.

Before he arrived in this forest, some humans had already ventured into it.

only.

Most humans, after venturing a certain depth, become disoriented by the dense and complex jungle and are forced to retreat.

Others, however, suffered a defeat at the hands of the wild elves and obediently retreated.

However, a very small number of them still ventured into the core area of ​​this forest, the area covered by the divine tree.

However, most of these people were driven back under the protection of the Sarud tribe.

However, a very small number of people did witness the divine tree and the "healing spring".

Or.

These people's purpose was to obtain the sacred tree and the "Spring of Healing".

Through further questioning, Xia Yan quickly confirmed the identities of this group of people.

It is Dr. Jedo, who has been pursuing information about the "Fountain of Healing" in the original work, and the Community Habitat Company behind him.

Coco's parents, Krom and Lynn, were Dr. Jedo's predecessors, and the three of them led the search for the "Fountain of Healing" for the Community Habitat Corporation.

Coco's parents did indeed find the "fountain of healing".

But after witnessing the effects of the "Healing Spring" on this vast jungle and on the wild elves that inhabit it, they gave up their pursuit and tried to find a way for humans and elves to peacefully share the "Healing Spring".

However, the paranoid Dr. Jedo believed that Coco's parents had betrayed him, and ultimately eliminated them, causing Coco to wander in this forest, where she was eventually adopted by Zarude.

just now.

Dr. Jedo and the Community Habitat Company have finally gotten closer to the "Fountain of Healing" once again.

and.

Dr. Jedo seems to have located the "Healing Fountain".

To this end, more than one reconnaissance team was dispatched to enter the jungle in an attempt to get closer to the "Healing Spring".

However, they were stopped in time by Sarud and Coco.

The two sides engaged in a fierce fight.

Although Zarude and Coco ultimately emerged victorious, they paid a considerable price for it.

They also told the Sarud clan about this.

However, the arrogant Zarude clan, who believed in the law of the jungle and considered themselves invincible, did not take their words to heart.

after all.

They have repelled more than just one or two humans.

And by chance, Xia Yan, Coco, and Sarud met here.

This led them to mistakenly believe that Xia Yan was also a member of the investigation team.

They launched an attack filled with rage.

After listening, Xia Yan roughly understood the reason for the matter.

The difference between this period and the original work is that Dr. Jedo and the Community Habitat Company located the "Healing Fountain" earlier than in the original work.

just now.

Even though he showed some goodwill and made it clear that he was not with the people from the Community Habitat Company, Zarud and Coco did not seem to be planning to take him to the "Healing Spring".

Dr. Jedo and the Community Habitat Corporation instilled in them a deep-seated fear of humans.

to this end.

Xia Yan had no choice but to open his arms to them again.

Just as Sarud thought Xia Yan was about to launch another attack and got into a fighting stance, he saw a special blue energy fluctuation emanating from Xia Yan's palm.

The power of waveguides!

"Well--"

Xia Yan grunted and frowned.

Whether it's wave power or superpowers, using them even once would cause secondary damage to his body given his current physical condition.

"Os!"

"Buyi!"

When Latios and Sylveon saw Xia Yan enduring the pain, they immediately came over to him.

His eyes were full of worry.

But the gradually spreading waveguide power, and the "goodwill" it carried, were like the natural aura emanating from the forest, which stunned both Zarud and Coco.

The feeling of being enveloped by the azure blue waveguide energy made them feel as if they were in a sea of ​​forests, embraced by the forest's atmosphere.

The way they looked at Xia Yan changed subtly.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Xia Yan abruptly opened his tightly closed eyes.

The released waveguide power also returned instantly.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, he looked past Sarud and into the depths of the jungle.

There, he felt the forest weeping.

"go!"

He ignored Sarud and Coco.

That's all he can do.

If they really try to stop him, Xia Yan wouldn't mind defeating them before going to find the "Fountain of Healing".

boom!!!

A sudden, deafening roar erupted in the direction Xia Yan was looking.

Upon hearing the noise, Sarud and Coco were immediately jolted awake.

Then they saw Xia Yan, riding on the back of the Spirit Horse, holding the reins with a serious expression, leading the elves past them quickly.

“Saru?”

Watching Xia Yan and the others disappear quickly, Coco couldn't help but call out, looking towards Zarud.

"Saru!"

Sarud then realized what was happening.

Without hesitation, it shot out vines, tied them to branches, and flew towards the direction from which the roaring sound came.

Coco quickly followed suit.

...

...

slam-la-

In the vast and lush jungle, a giant ancient tree emitting a strange glow is constantly spewing out large amounts of spring water, which flows into the surrounding lakes.

The spring water, which had been flowing slowly, now gushed out wildly as if a dam had burst.

Simply because.

On the trunk of that giant tree, two large holes were clearly visible.

It was precisely because of these two large holes that the balance of this giant tree was completely disrupted, and the balance that the surrounding environment had maintained for thousands of years was also destroyed.

The wild elves that lived nearby scattered and fled upon seeing this scene.
