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

Xu Li complained: "...Do you know the location?"

Xi Jiana said as a matter of course: "I don't know!"

"Ah..." Xu Li called out Bay Leaf, "Does Bay Leaf know the location?"

"Bili!"

"Look, even Bay Leaf knows it." Xu Li spread his hands.

"Ugh...Bayleaf, I'm asking you to show me the way!" Suddenly, Xijiana's angry cry and the sound of Bayleaf struggling as she was hugged tightly came from the oak forest.

……

When Xu Li arrived at the center of the oak forest, he saw this scene from afar.

"It's almost over, let's freeze it!" said the masked man, waving his hand.

A festively colored messenger bird directly froze the magic leaf thrown by Celebi, and then suddenly threw out the package on its back. A gift with a cold breath appeared in the air and flew towards Celebi, who had just used a skill and had not yet recovered.

Swish swish!

The extremely cold airflow almost instantly made Celebi's body stiff. Then, under its impact, the water molecules in the air condensed in less than five seconds, and Celebi, who had no time to escape, was almost frozen into an ice sculpture.

Celebi couldn't get rid of the ice for a moment, and fell to the ground with a thud, and a crisp sound was heard.

The masked man clenched the GS Ball tightly in his trembling hands and slowly spoke to the frozen Celebi, "At first, I didn't know much about you, and I didn't have a Poké Ball that could capture time, but I suffered a lot from you..."

"Binghe, you will see your parents..."

After saying that, without hesitation, the masked man threw the GS ball in his hand towards Celebi.

Just as the GS ball was about to touch Celebi's body.

Sudden……

"Flying Leaf Sharp Blade, Bay Leaf."

"Hi!"

Several extremely fast blades suddenly flew from the side and back of the masked man, bypassed the masked man and appeared in its eyes, accurately hitting the GS ball flying in an arc in the air.

Afraid of rubbing!

The powerful Flying Leaf Blade directly changed the trajectory of the GS ball in the air, knocking the GS ball to a very far distance, where it was covered by the shadow of the forest and difficult to see with the naked eye.

Then, out of sight, shadows surged and the GS ball disappeared.

"..."

The messenger bird tightened the package around its body and looked at the Flying Leaf Knife that suddenly appeared in a daze.

The air was silent for a while.

"Who!?" The masked man's voice sounded angrily. Feeling his anger, the coldness from the masked man emanated even more violently.

He never expected that someone would stop him at this time.

"Flash Charge."

But what the masked man faced was a flaming chariot that rapidly enlarged in his eyes, and rushed towards him with a long golden tail flame. The air was slightly distorted, and it was obvious that the temperature was extremely high.

"Heh..." The masked man sneered.

Following the masked man's voice, the messenger bird beside him opened its backpack and rushed towards Flash Flame.

moment.

A blizzard covering half of the field blew out from the opening of the backpack, bringing with it an extremely cold breath, and fought against the extremely high temperature flash flame charge without showing any weakness.

blah blah blah...

The fierce blizzard turned most of the land into ice. Water vapor continued to emerge from Windy Dog, offsetting the golden flames of Flash Charge. Finally, with a roar from Windy Dog, Flash Charge suddenly broke through the blizzard.

But a lot of time had been wasted, and the power and speed had been greatly reduced. The masked man jumped to the side slowly and simply avoided the flash flame charge.

"Not bad." The masked man briefly commented on the flashing flame charge, then looked at Xu Li who slowly walked out, "But this is not the place for you."

"Oh?" Xu Li smiled, "Then where should I go?"

"Anywhere is fine." The masked man snorted coldly, then waved his hand, and a Gastly suddenly appeared beside him. The masked man said without hiding anything, "Get that Poké Ball back."

"Kou Jie!"

Then, Gastly appeared in front of Xu Li and headed towards the place where the GS ball rolled down.

"Are you pretending I don't exist?" Xu Li said with a smile, and Arcanine immediately rushed towards the Messenger Bird with a double-edged headbutt.

The messenger bird immediately fought back, and a biting cold wind instantly howled towards the wind speed dog.

The battle passed by minute by minute...

The Messenger Bird's fighting skills are very terrifying. It can not only blow out violent and sharp freezing winds, but also delicately control the water molecules in the air. From time to time, it can sneak attack the Wind Hound from various tricky angles.

If other trainers saw the performance of this messenger bird, they would probably be stunned.

The messenger bird, which is known for being weak and will throw away the food it carries in order to escape when attacked, is surprisingly so powerful.

But Xu Li was not very surprised. After all, Liu Bo's messenger bird had the ability to defend against Ho-Oh alone, and was considered a powerful opponent that could hone his Pokémon, so Xu Li was particularly serious in this battle.

However, not long after the previous battle with Sakaki, Arcanine insisted on fighting with Liu Bo again. Now its physical strength obviously cannot support it to continue fighting with Messenger Bird.

"Now!" Xu Li shouted when he noticed that the messenger bird was slightly distracted during the battle.

With the help of the messenger bird's cover of snow and wind, Wind Speed ​​​​gritted his teeth, energy surged, and his whole body seemed to be dyed gold, completely turning into the king of the island of Xicui Chuihuo Island.

Suddenly, Windspeed kicked out with its powerful heels, and extremely violent golden flames surged out of its body. It rushed out directly from the snow curtain and hit the messenger bird that was unable to react in time.

"Gu..."

The messenger bird Yuanzhuzhu looked at the flaming beast rushing towards it with horror in its eyes, and tried to dodge, but as soon as it made a move, it was covered by the golden flames of the Wind Speed ​​Dog.

"This……"

The masked man was just looking back at the direction Gastly went, anxiously wondering why Gastly hadn't found the GS Ball yet. When he turned around, he saw the Messenger Bird covered in flames.

Hot!

The golden flames eventually dissipated.

Left behind were the dazed messenger bird with its white feathers scorched black, and the Green Washing Windy Dog who was trying hard to stand up.

“Roar…!”

Arcanine used up its last bit of strength and roared happily, then its body shook as Xu Li took it into the Poké Ball.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Li thanked him while holding the Poké Ball of Arcanine, and then looked at the masked man with a grim expression.

Although he was wearing a mask, Xu Li knew how ugly his expression was without him having to say anything.

The masked man gritted his teeth, his expression truly unsightly.

The apparent combat power of the Messenger Bird was solved by Xu Li, so only Ariados and Gastly, who didn't know what was going on, could use it. But when they saw Sylveon and Infernape summoned by Xu Li, it was obvious that they could not solve it.

If I want to continue fighting, I have to expose myself...

The masked man looked at Celebi, who was lying on the ground surrounded by the bay leaves.

As long as the GS ball was recovered, none of this would matter, he decided.

Just when he was about to call the little wild boar out, he heard what Xu Li said.

"I saw you looking back frequently just now. Is this what you wanted to see?"

As he spoke, Xu Li took out the GS ball he had been hiding and said to the masked man with a smile.

"Kou Jie!"

A shadow emerged from the side, and Gengar put his fat arm around Gastly like an older brother, making Gastly almost tremble in Gengar's arms, not daring to move at all.

Then he grinned happily and showed a grin to the masked man.

Masked man: “…”

"Do you want it?" Xu Li tossed the GS ball casually, as if the masked man would throw it to him as long as he said "I want it".

But he didn't wait for the masked man to reply.

"It's gone now."

Xu Li threw the GS ball high into the air, and then Gengar waved his hand lightly, and a small shadow ball hit the GS ball.

At this moment, the GS ball that the masked man had been dreaming about suddenly exploded in front of him, and debris flew everywhere.

"You...!" The masked man couldn't squeeze out a few words.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, and his old body was shaking. Xu Li was worried that he would suddenly faint.

He never expected that the plan to capture Celebi, which he had carefully planned for a long time, would be completely impossible at this moment.

He really wanted to tear this man into pieces right now.

But...reason told him.

They have been fighting for a very long time. If he cannot quickly eliminate the opponent, the situation will be very unfavorable to him. No matter how inefficient the alliance is, it will not give him so much time.

With the secret scroll that Steel stole, the GS Ball can be recreated, but if the GS Ball is destroyed, the man in front of him will not be able to capture Celebi.

He could start over again!

"I... will remember you!" The masked man stared at Xu Li's face and said the same lines as Sakaki.

Then he turned around and wanted to leave.

In order to prevent Xu Li from catching up with him, he submerged his body in the sudden snowstorm. A cluster of fine snow blew towards Xu Li, and then a huge ice wall rose from the ground, separating Xu Li from him.

"Buyi!"

Sylveon jumped in front of Xu Li and held up a protective shield to block most of the fine snow for Xu Li, but some of the fine snow bypassed the shield and blew in.

Xu Li could only helplessly cover his cold body: "Is it necessary? I'm not chasing you..."

After all, there is an even more perverted level 500 little boar hidden in Liu Bo's body.

then.

Xu Li suddenly sensed the voice coming from the grass-green gem on his chest - Rayquaza was asking Xu Li whether he wanted to capture the masked man.

Xu Li: "...Goodbye!"

Xu Li didn't know whether Rayquaza, which was four times weaker than ice, could defeat Liu Bo's little pig alone without super evolution?

I think... it should be possible?

"Phew...it's so cold."

Xu Li hugged Sylveon into his arms, letting Sylveon's body temperature warm him up, and then looked at Gastly next to Gengar.

"Why weren't you taken away?"

"Kou, koujie..." The little ghost trembled and begged for mercy.

Xu Li's Gengar patted his chest and said, "Kou Jie!"

"You want to take it in as your little brother!?" Xu Li blinked and nodded, "Alright then, you have to take good care of it."

"Kouhee!" Gengar showed a confident smile, pulled Gastly and went to the shadow to preach.

……

Seeing that Celebi was still frozen, Xu Li could only let Bay Leaf carry it first, leave the messy oak forest, and find a place to rest with Xijiana.

And not long after.

The oak forest welcomed another group of people.

"What the hell is going on here!?"

Hiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region, was shirtless, with muscular torsos and some scars. He had obviously just experienced a battle. As soon as he stepped onto this land, he was shocked by the mess on the scene and couldn't help but shout out.

The land in front of him was covered with frozen ground and a freezing ice wall, which seemed as solid as if time had stopped. On the other side were patches of scorched earth, as if it had just been baptized by a raging fire.

Obviously, there was a very fierce battle here.

Xiba could only guess that one of the parties was the powerful leader of the Masked Legion, who had become increasingly rampant recently and had fought against the Alliance several times, causing the Alliance to return empty-handed.

Sheba had fought with the masked man before and knew his strength. The messenger bird left a very deep impression on Sheba.

Who is the opponent who can fight a big battle with him?
