I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

"..."

Not long after, Rayquaza swooped back from the sky again. Many huge meteorites floated around it. Under Rayquaza's control, they slowly fell to the ground without making any vibration.

Ever since coming down from the Split Sky Throne, Xu Li had a bad premonition. It was not until he saw the meteorite next to the Split Sky Throne growing bigger and bigger in his eyes that Xu Li was stunned.

"This..." Xu Li blinked and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why do you bring so much!"

Xu Li regretted that he shouldn't have boasted about giving Rayquaza energy blocks by tonnage.

The diameter of the meteorite in front of me is almost as tall as the tree next to it. There are seven or eight such meteorites, and there are many other miscellaneous meteorites.

If calculated by tons, the total is at least thousands of tons, which means... tens of thousands of energy cubes.

Is this the power of paying according to labor?

Hearing Xu Li's words, Rayquaza shook its over-exerted body, then raised its head, indicating that this was the amount of its ability it should have, and you should be able to afford the energy cubes.

Xu Li: “…”

He really couldn't afford it. With tens of thousands of energy cubes, his hands would be smoking.

He could only helplessly take out a bag of energy cubes and said, "I don't have that many now, I'll give you this first..."

Looking at Xu Li's helpless expression, Rayquaza's mouth curled up slightly, and then quickly suppressed it. However, without telepathy, Xu Li could feel that Rayquaza was in a good mood.

Liekongzuo knew that Xu Li might not be able to produce so many meteorites, but it didn't matter. Seeing Xu Li's expression, Liekongzuo felt that he had avenged the beating from Xu Li on the Pillar of the Sky.

"Roar!"

Rayquaza said that he could accept the installment repayment of the energy cube, and then took the energy cube given by Xu Li, wanting to enjoy this food that made him happy in the sky.

"Wait a moment." Xu Li stopped Rayquaza's body from flying. "I may not stay in Hoenn. Maybe I will leave here soon. Then the energy block..."

"Roar……"

Rayquaza was stunned for a moment. Is this a problem?

"Follow me forever? It doesn't matter where we go, until I pay off all my debts..." Hearing Leikongzuo's answer, Xu Li smiled helplessly. Leikongzuo now changed from following him secretly to following him openly.

"Alright." Xu Li didn't care. After all, Rayquaza was his Pokémon, so he just thought of it as another Snorlax to feed. Thinking of this, he said to Rayquaza, "You don't have to go to the sky to eat. It's dinner time now, so let's eat here together."

"Roar…"

Rayquaza hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

The latitude of Hoenn is relatively low and the sunset time is early, so the setting sun has already spread all over the ground at this moment, dyeing the edges of the leaves a layer of orange-red glow.

The wilderness that Xu Li had chosen was quite remote, with few people passing by. It was a good place for a picnic.

Seeing that Rayquaza agreed, Xu Li also released the Pokémon he was carrying.

Fang, Sylveon, Alola Vulpix, Windwind, Roentgen, Milton, two Gyarados, one red and one blue, and Gengar hiding in Xu Li's shadow.

Then Xu Li took out the picnic utensils he had been carrying with him and said, "Xijiana, what are you still standing there for? Come and help me."

"Ah! Okay." Xi Jiana responded after a moment's hesitation. A picnic with the Dragon God? Xi Jiana was still a little incredulous.

After everything was arranged, Xu Li enjoyed a peaceful meal with the Pokémon after a long time.

After dinner, Xu Li sat cross-legged on the flattened grass, smiling at the Roentgen Cat and Gyarados who were still eating.

"Buyi..."

When Fairy Eevee saw that Xu Li was free, he quickly finished his portion, ran to Xu Li step by step, and rubbed his slightly warm body into Xu Li's arms.

"If you rub it again, your bow will fall off." Xu Li said with a smile, hugging Fairy Eevee's body.

"Buyi!"

Hearing this, Fairy Eevee turned its head and rubbed Xu Li's chest even harder with the side of its head without the bow. No matter what, Fairy Eevee loved being in Xu Li's arms the most.

Next, we saw the interaction between Fairy Eevee and Xu Li.

"Woo..."

At this time, Vulpix, who was curiously looking at the troubled Shijiana, also turned around. Seeing Xu Li's situation, he immediately put aside what he had just thought, and moved his slender legs directly, crashing into the arms of Xu Li and Sylveon.

The cold fur rubbed against Xu Li's body, followed by the warmth of Liuwei's inner body.

Later, Yaya joined in, leaning on Xu Li's crossed legs, looking drowsy.

"You guys..."

Xu Li looked at Arcanine, who was quietly lying next to him, and Roentgen, who saw Xu Li covered in Pokémon and thought it was fun and wanted to join in, the two Gyarados who were looking at Rayquaza in amazement, and Deoxys who was looking at the Energy Cube with curiosity...

Xu Li sighed helplessly, but a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

My Pokémon are really increasing...

Xu Li couldn't help but think of the plan he had been thinking about for a long time - to build a Pokémon home of his own, with many different ecological environments, so that his Pokémon could live happily in it.

Although Grandma Mustard's backyard is also very nice, it is just grass after all, so it is still a little lacking in comfort or diversity.

In addition, there are various props in his backpack that can change the environment that he obtained from the King of Peace during the Washing Cui period, so there are many possibilities.

Those props are changed slowly over a long period of time. Thinking of this, Xu Li felt that this plan should be put on the agenda.

It was about choosing a site. Xu Li hesitated for a long time. In this regard, he felt as if he had been infected with Zhulan's decision-making difficulty. However, now Xu Li can command Groudon... This god of the earth should be very useful in this aspect.

When the time comes, go to Groudon's residence, throw a Charcoal Pole at it, and then let it slowly transform.

Xu Li prefers to build this home in the Sinnoh region, which raises a question... How long will it take for Groudon to reach Sinnoh?

You still have to use a Poké Ball... Unlike Palkia, you can't just call it and it will come here.

...

On the other side, Deoxys stood in the meteorite pile, his eyes flickering as he looked at the numerous meteorites around him. He had heard how much Xu Li had paid to allow Rayquaza to find these meteorites...

His heart was filled with gratitude, but his expression was extremely serious. Deoxys did not dare to waste the meteorites that Xu Li had found for it.

Then, it moved, its alien-like body flowing like liquid, and then attached itself to meteorites, absorbing the energy in space contained in them.

In the back, Shijiana leaned on the Tanabata Bluebird, looking hesitantly at Rayquaza who was enjoying the energy block from time to time.

She wanted to get closer, but thinking of the scene on the Sky Pillar, Xijiana didn't dare to disturb the Dragon God who was enjoying the energy block. But she couldn't bear not to get closer.

...Time passed by in hesitation.

Deoxys had even absorbed all the meteorites brought by Rayquaza. Although there were still some cracks in the core, they were not serious. His body surged, the aurora shone, and his originally broken body quickly regenerated.

Not long after, Deoxys had recovered everything and looked at Xu Li with excitement and anticipation, as if to express that he was ready. When should he set off?

"Okay... let's get ready to go." Xu Li, who was as drowsy as Yaya, stood up and leaned on Arcanine's thick mane, then looked at the meteorites brought by the Space Marine Falcon.

Deoxys absorbs the space energy contained in meteorites, which does not have much effect on the appearance and structure of meteorites. So at this time, this place is full of meteorites one after another caused by Xu Li... We have to find a way to deal with it.

"Loto~ beep beep, the powerful and formidable one has finished calling..."

Following Xu Li's call, Daigo's tired voice came from the other side of Rotom's phone: "Xu Li? What's wrong..."

"Are you interested in meteorites?" Xu Li said with a smile, "I have a lot of them."

Daigo's voice suddenly changed: "Where!? What meteorite... How come you found a meteorite so soon after leaving?"

"The Spyglass was pulled down from the sky..." Xu Li explained some of the details of the place and then said, "I'll send you the address."

Daigo: “…So many!?”

And what do you mean by "pulled down by Rayquaza"... that extremely rare meteorite was just pulled down by your Rayquaza at will, right?

Daigo could only helplessly say: "Okay, I've noted the location, but I may need to wait before I can get there..."

"What's wrong?" Xu Li remembered Dawu's tired voice at the beginning.

Daigo sighed, "It's the Weather Research Institute. Huoyan, the leader of the Lava Team, escaped. We're tracking him down now..."

"Fire Goose?" Xu Li was suddenly stunned. "Is it the one wearing a fiery red horned hood and showing her thighs..."

"Yeah, Xu Li, how did you know?" Dawu asked puzzledly.

"Then you don't have to chase."

Because Xu Li had noticed the fire goose running not far away through the remote telepathy transmitted by Deoxys.

He yelled, "Deoxys!"

"have to……"

Chapter 110: The Fire Goose Has Not Been Destroyed Yet

Hearing Xu Li's instructions, Deoxys' eyes were full of positivity, and its body, which had almost recovered its strength, headed towards the target. At the same time, its body also underwent some changes during the movement.

The orange-red color on the body faded, and the whole body became slender. The most special thing was that a fin-like thing grew on the back of Deoxys' head. It had changed into a speed form, and its speed increased further. In a very short time, it had crossed a distance of dozens of meters and came behind the Fire Goose.

“Ah…!”

Xu Li, who was coming with the Pokémon, only heard a crisp scream from the front. When Xu Li arrived, the woman had already been controlled by Deoxys.

"What... are you..." Huoyan was controlled by Deoxys' superpowers. His whole body was tense as he tried to break free from the restraints of the superpowers, but he couldn't break free for a while.

She had no idea what the Pokémon that suddenly attacked her was. Just as she was about to continue struggling, Huoyan recognized Xu Li who had caught up with her. Her lavender eyes suddenly widened with unconcealable surprise and fear.

"...Xu Li!?" She shouted unconsciously, but her voice revealed her inner anxiety and despair.

Xu Li tilted his head, looking at this staunch follower of the Red Flame Pine with a bit of surprise: "It seems you recognize me?"

Huoyan gritted his teeth and said, "...Who doesn't recognize you? You ruined our Lava Team's plan. I dream of killing you."

But then her body shook.

"Now that you've caught me... it seems there's no chance of me escaping." Huoyan raised his neck high, pretending to accept his fate. He then deliberately showed off his curvaceous body to seduce Xu Li. Then, he looked at Xu Li pitifully and said, "... I have the Pokémon I stole from the Weather Research Institute in my body. I'll tell you where it is. If you take it out and release me... can you consider it as an admission of guilt and allow me to have my sentence reduced?"

"...Oh?" Xu Li smiled. "If all criminals confessed immediately after being caught, wouldn't that be chaos? Besides... you're under my control now, and this Pokémon will eventually be rescued."

"..."

Huoyan gritted his teeth and continued, "That floating bubble is still under attack from my Pokémon. I don't think it can hold out for much longer. If I can't treat it quickly, I'm afraid..."

"Alright..." Xu Li nodded. "If it's true, I'll plead for you. Where is the floating bubble?"

Huoyan twitched the corner of his mouth: "In my waist, the third Poké Ball."

Xu Li walked to Huoyan's side, counted the third Poké Ball, and took it directly in his hand. Instead of releasing it at the side as usual, he suddenly threw it behind him, and the Poké Ball opened in the middle of Xu Li's Pokémon.

Just when Xu Li threw the Poké Ball.

Huoyan's rubber-gloved palm suddenly broke through Deoxys' control and attacked Xu Li's face. A lot of sticky liquid overflowed from the palm of its glove. Before it touched Xu Li, Xu Li could smell its spicy taste.

A drop of liquid dripped onto the ground with a hissing sound, and even the green grass was corroded and rotted. If this palm hit Xu Li's face, Xu Li would probably be disfigured.

Just when Huoyan thought he was about to succeed.

Click!

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her arm, accompanied by a sound like a broken bone. Huoyan's mind went blank for a moment, and then she let out an uncontrollable cry of pain.

“Aa ...…”

Huoyan opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, gasped, his chest heaving violently, swung his arms in a slightly bent and unnatural manner, his eyes full of disbelief.

She had never expected that the result of her action would be like this.

Huo Yan had no idea how he was exposed. This sudden plan was obviously unsolvable as long as Xu Li was lured.

"Sigh..." Xu Li shook his head. The temperature of the Poké Ball he had just touched was... obviously the temperature a fire-attribute Pokémon would generate because it was worried about its trainer. Xu Li's Arcanine would also be like this, and the temperature would be even higher. If it was a floating bubble, it would not be possible for it to be this temperature.

Coupled with Huoyan's previous deliberate behavior, that kind of frivolous temptation to others was totally not Huoyan's style, which naturally made Xu Li pay more attention.

Turn around.

As expected, a Ninetails landed in the middle of Xu Li's group of Pokémon, and was being teased by Xu Li's Roentgen Cat using various electric-attribute moves. Coupled with the screams of Huoyan just now, the Ninetails became even more distracted.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the nine tails of the Fire Goose were tied to the ground by an electric net set by the Roentgen Cat. The goose fell to the ground paralyzed all over, and even the nine tails did not have the strength to hold up.

Xu Li's Alola Vulpix looked at the miserable state of its evolved form from different regions with curiosity. He wanted to show some concern for it, but when he thought that it was Xu Li's enemy, he did not take any action.

Huoyan's plan failed in less than a quarter of an hour.

After comforting Deoxys, who was feeling somewhat guilty, Xu Li looked at Huoyan, whose eyes were lifeless, and asked, "Is what you said about Floating Bubble being seriously injured true?"

"..."

Huoyan simply gritted his teeth and was once again controlled by Deoxys's increased power. He pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.

Xu Li was helpless: "You don't want to talk, right..."
