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

Instinctively, he curled up and jumped.

Xu Li did not anticipate the reaction of the mini dragon, and let the mini dragon's body draw an arc in the air.

Then the soft body of the Shiny Mini Dragon fell directly onto Xu Li's neck, wrapped around it gently, and then pressed its pink body against Xu Li's skin.

The white nose continued to sense the breath around it, allowing the mini dragon to make sure.

It has been with me since the birth of consciousness.

It’s the person next to me!

After confirming, the Shiny Dragonite kept rubbing Xu Li's cheek with its white nose.

"Drizzoli, you have to follow me from now on." Xu Li patted the shiny Drizzoli with his hand.

"Miya!" The mini dragon responded happily with its soft voice, and wrapped itself around Xu Li's wrist.

It seems that this little guy likes to cling to something...

Xu Li couldn't help but smile, and with his other hand he took out the energy block he had specially prepared for the mini dragon in the past two days.

"Let's eat something first."

"Miya~!"

The Shiny Mini Dragon opened its small mouth and swallowed an energy cube directly into its stomach. As expected, it made a happy sound and its body began to tremble because of the deliciousness of the energy cube.

Then Xu Li looked around: "I don't know what their situation is like."

It wasn't just Xu Li's Shiny Dratini that was born at the same time. Some of the twelve Pokémon eggs that Dragonite had taken out had also reached the incubation period like the Shiny Dratini's eggs.

Du had to go to Kaji City to deal with an emergency.

There is a shortage of staff here, so Xijiana volunteered to help Xiaochun hatch the mini dragon.

So during this period of time, Xu Li was alone with the shiny Dratini egg.

"Dragonette, go meet your brothers and sisters." Xu Li nodded the little head of Shiny Dratini.

"Miya!"

……

On the other side of the Dragon Sanctuary.

The busyness here is coming to an end.

"Phew, this batch of eight mini dragonets, plus yesterday's, a total of eleven mini dragonets have been born safely."

After finishing her work, Xijiana leaned on her Hackron and sat down with Xiaochun to rest, feeling a little exhausted.

The next task is left to the five Haxorus that are still walking around here. They are the mothers of these mini dragons.

And Dragonite was also happily flying between the Haxorus to check on its children.

"Xu Li, you're here." Xi Jiana jumped up when she saw Xu Li coming in and said, "Has the mini dragon hatched yet? Do you need our help?"

"No need..." Xu Li said with a smile, holding up the shiny Dratini and showing it to Xijiana and Xiaochun, "But the color of my Dratini seems to be a little different."

Hear this.

Shiny Dragonite's face was full of question marks, and its small head looked at Xu Li with confusion.

"Mijiu?"

What's wrong with my color?

"..."

"Huh?" Xiaochun's eyes widened. "It's a different-colored Dratini!?"

This was the first time Chun saw a different colored Dratini.

"What a cute pink color, what a cute Dratini!" Xijiana exclaimed in admiration, and ran over to touch the head of the shining Dratini with curiosity, causing the Dratini to squint its eyes and shrink towards Xu Li.

"Wow?"

Dragonite also came in curiously, the tentacles on its head trembled, and it was a little surprised that the child was pink.

I looked at my skin and couldn't help but think.

If this child grows up and becomes this final form, what color will it be?

It must look great too!

Thinking of this, Dragonite took out an energy block given by Xu Li and carefully put it into the mouth of Shiny Dratini.

This is a greeting gift from my old father.

Every child of it must have one.

Dratini couldn't help but swallow the energy cube again. Although it wasn't as tasty as the previous one, Dratini was still very happy.

"Miya!" He expressed his gratitude to Dragonite happily.

"It is your father..." Xu Li touched the mini dragon and said with a smile.

"Mimi?" The mini dragon tilted its head, not understanding what it meant.

It only feels close to Xu Li?

Seeing Dratini's reaction, the old father Dragonite couldn't help but look at Xu Li with resentment.

What kind of drug did you give my child?

However, Dragonite could only swallow the spilled water in his heart.

……

In this way, Xu Li lived with the mini dragon in Yanmo City for a few days, and together with Xi Jiana, he learned the habits of the mini dragon clan under Xiaochun's guidance.

During this period, Xu Li's shiny mini dragon was constantly shedding its skin and growing rapidly.

Each molting is accompanied by an increase in body size.

This is a notable characteristic of a young dragon.

It is said that this is because the life energy in the body continues to expand and cannot be suppressed.

And under the special care of Xu Li's energy cube and brewed crystal honey.

Even if we ignore the color of the Shiny Dratini, it still stands out among the Dratini that were born in the same batch as it, and its excellence can be noticed at a glance.

Xu Li also collected the skin shed by the mini dragon.

Although in the outside world, boots made from the tanned skin of mini dragons are super high-end products and extremely precious. The main part of the income of the dragon messenger clan comes from this, not to mention the pink skin of the different-colored mini dragons.

But Xu Li didn't care about these things. He mainly kept them as a collection. He wouldn't sell them anyway and he wasn't short of money.

"Next time we meet, I'll challenge you again!"

At this time, Xiao Chun was standing at the door of Yanmo Gym. After saying goodbye to Xi Jiana, he spoke to Xu Li with fighting spirit in his eyes.

"...Then you have to improve your strength." Xu Li smiled, "Goodbye."

Xiaochun's obsession is so great that he always says this.

"Goodbye!" Xijiana jumped up and waved to Xiaochun.

Although Xiaochun is still obsessed with Xu Li, they become friends when they take care of the mini dragon together with Xijiana.

As both of them were dragon-specialized trainers, Xu Li was wondering why they didn't compete with each other.

Xu Li was very interested in the civil war among all the dragon members.

But I never got to wait.

……

After leaving Yanmo City, Xu Li's first step was naturally to go to Kaji City to take care of his little fox.

In fact, late on the first day of arriving at the Dragon Sanctuary, that is, the day after Xu Li left Kaji Gym, he saw the news—

[Emergency! Kaji's Gym has been attacked by Team Rocket! Gym Master Liu Bo is seriously injured and will be unable to accept Gym Assessment Challenges from Trainers in the near future. The Four Heavenly Kings are following up on this matter.]

But after Xu Li communicated with Liu Bo.

In fact, Liu Bo was not seriously injured. Although he willingly accepted Sakaki's attack as a venting measure, but thinking that his remaining body would be used in the next plan, Liu Bo fought back with apology until Sakaki finished venting his anger and left.

Being seriously injured was just an excuse for Liu Bo to close the gym for a while.

This time, without the burden of Sachi, Xu Li riding on the Shining Flame Horse and Xijiana riding on the Sky Dragon arrived in Kaji Town in less than half a day.

Entering the gate of Kaji Gym where no trainers were visiting.

At a glance, he saw Garm lying on the front desk, and Slow King sleeping beside her.

As soon as Jiam saw Xu Li, he wanted to stand up eagerly, with surprise in his eyes.

then……

boom!

"Wow~!"

Garm collided with Slowking's drooping, sleepy head, and the spiral crown happened to be in the path of Garm's rise, causing the girl to groan in pain.

He couldn't help but stand there with his head covered, staring into Slow King's innocent eyes.

"stay……"

Slow King tilted his head worriedly. Seeing Garm's pain, Slow King seemed a little anxious.

Use instant amnesia quickly!

This way it won’t hurt!

This is what all the Slowpokes do.

"..."

After the pain subsided, Jiam looked back at Xu Li: "Are you here to see the boss? Come with me."

……

Inside the Kaji Gym, Liu Bo, with his body covered in bandages, was sitting in a wheelchair, quietly watching the little boar and Alola Vulpix who were making ice sculptures together in front of him.

More often than not, Vulpix was spraying cold air vigorously to make the ice sculpture take shape, while the little boar was lying lazily on the side, occasionally stirring up some cold air to remind Vulpix.

Sensing Xu Li's arrival, Uncle Liu spoke.

"The most important thing to train with ice energy is its control. Its essence is to be able to control the water molecules in the air and use it at any time under the control of Pokémon."

"You have a good talent for Vulpix. You can basically control some of it."

After saying that, Uncle Liu turned around and said, "You're here."

"Of course." Xu Li smiled, "Come and see my six..."

“Wuwu~!”

Before Xu Li could finish his words, a furry white ball pounced on his chest, and Liuwei's cute face rubbed against Xu Li's cheek like a little puppy.

There was also a warm tongue licking from time to time, trying to express her longing for the trainer in this way.

After three days of separation, Liuwei felt that he had never missed Xu Li so much.

"Okay, okay, it's not like I didn't see it." Xu Lidan closed one eye because Vulpix had already rubbed against his head.

"Woo..." Vulpix cried out somewhat aggrievedly.

It is indeed a big difficulty for Vulpix to suddenly train hard in an unfamiliar environment.

"If you don't want to stay here... I'll take you away." Xu Li felt a little distressed, thinking that the previous decision to leave Liuwei with Liu Bo was somewhat neglecting its thoughts.

After all, Xu Li is not short of combat power now, and the happiness of his own Pokémon is the most important thing.

But Liuwei shook his head at the idea proposed by Xu Li.

With a light leap, he brought Xu Li to an ice sculpture.

"Is this... Fairy Eevee?" Xu Li sighed and called out Eevee to admire it together.

"Buee?" Fairy Eevee also looked at the ice sculpture that was almost exactly the same as itself in surprise, and couldn't help but tilt its head.

then……

The ice sculpture also tilted its head very vividly, following Sylveon's movements.
