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

Xu Li shuddered inexplicably.

Nazi smiled without any timidity and said, "Of course, Sister Zhulan, it's rare that you waited for us so specially. Aren't you busy with work?"

"Hehe..." Zhulan smiled without saying anything, and did not respond to Nazhi's words at all.

Jeannaz realized that she was too impatient, so she pursed her lips and turned her head to the side.

Xu Li: “…”

The verdict has been made.

"Alright!" Xu Li hurriedly stopped the conversation. "Let's go to Masaga Town first... I'm worried that Groudon might cause trouble at the Yamanashi Research Institute."

Then he whispered in Zhulan's ear: "Wait, I'll explain it to you..."

"No need." Zhu Lan smiled, sniffing Xu Li's neck with her pretty nose, "I know, hehe... just wait."

"Hmm..." Xu Li shivered again unconsciously.

Xijiana, who was behind the three people, just kicked the stone at her feet casually, completely unaware of the conversation between the three people in front.

It took half a day for Xu Li and others to arrive at Zhensaga Town. Xu Li rushed directly into the Yamanashi Research Institute, which made Zhu Lan cover her mouth and smile.

"Xu Li, you're finally here!" Professor Yamanashi, with gray hair and a mustache, greeted Xu Li directly. "You don't know, you, your Groudon..."

"What's wrong?!" Seeing Dr. Yamanashi's attitude, Xu Li frowned and said, "Is there any loss? I will compensate you..."

Dr. Yamanashi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No, no!"

"I just want to say, your Groudon is awesome!!"

He held up three fingers and said, "Three! Three in total! Thanks to Groudon, I researched and compiled three papers in a short period of time!"

Even though it was not Dr. Yamanashi's research direction, he was able to produce three papers in a short period of time.

The main reason is that before this, people only knew about Pokémon like Groudon through legends, and had never experienced the real thing right in front of them. This really made Professor Yamanashi's research very exciting!

That's why Dr. Yamanashi was so excited.

"Xu Li, I want you and me to be co-first authors of these papers!" Dr. Yamanashi said excitedly, gesticulating.

Dr. Yamanashi's status in the research community is equivalent to that of one of the Yalta Three. If this really happens, Xu Li will definitely become famous in the research community.

"Uh..." Xu Li hurriedly asked Dr. Yamanashi to calm down, "Actually, there's no need... I don't really care about these research areas."

"That won't do! I'm so grateful to you for letting me research your special evolution of the Great Sword Demon and the evolution of the Goo. I feel bad that we haven't made any breakthroughs, but this... you can't refuse!"

"No need for that," Xu Li sighed, "Let me see Groudon first."

"Okay, follow me first..."

As Dr. Yamanashi went deeper into the research institute and entered a narrow cave, Xu Li soon saw Groudon.

Nestled in the soft mountainside, with legs stretched out and tail tucked under his butt, Groudon stuffed the fruits tributed by the Yamanashi Research Institute into his mouth one by one. He squinted his eyes with happiness, and his eyes, which originally seemed fierce, were now extremely clear.

Then, Groudon raised his head when he heard movement in front.

moment.

Groudon was stunned, and the peach fruit he was biting in his mouth rolled to the ground, but he didn't care.

Because it saw Xu Li.

Xu Li's appearance here meant... he was about to start work! ?

Don’t do this!

There was a look of despair in Groudon's eyes, like a worker going to work.

"Gu..."

"What's wrong with it..." Dr. Yamanashi wondered, Groudon was obviously very happy before.

"..."

Xu Li felt Groudon's emotions through the scarlet orb and could not help but remain silent.

Don’t be fooled by Groudon’s fierce appearance, he actually has a lot going on inside.

Xu Li suddenly laughed evilly, wishing he could have a capitalist whip in his hand: "Now that you know... why don't you get up quickly!"

"Guuuu..." Groudon stood up suddenly due to reflex, and his head hit the stone in the corner with a bang, causing a cloud of dust.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Xu Li smiled and casually took out the red and white ball that Xiao Lan had thrown in Guandu, "Let's go in first."

"Gu..."

Groudon entered it reluctantly.

Then Xu Li went directly to the pre-selected address, south of Masaga Town, above the sea surface of the submerged Rose Island, and threw out the Poké Ball, releasing Groudon directly there.

With a bang, Groudon dived straight into the water, creating a huge splash.

"Right here," Xu Li said, "Let's create a large, flat area of ​​land here. We need to make the soil suitable for plant growth."

"Can it be done?"

"Gruno!" Groudon nodded obediently, then quietly looked at the small patch of green that appeared above the clouds, and couldn't help but curled his lips.

"Then you can do it here first." Xu Li looked at the sea in the distance thoughtfully, "I'll find you a helper."

As he said this, he patted Xijiana's dragonfly under him and let it fly towards a slowly surging sea current in the east.

Once Xu Li reached the surface of the sea, he didn't need to shout.

A curtain of water rose on the sea surface, and the alert eyes of the fathead fish appeared above the water. The corners of its mouth curled up slightly, and it squinted its eyes and looked at Xu Li with a smile.

"Woo..."

Xu Li looked at Kyogre helplessly, "Why are you here too?"

Suddenly, Kyogre looked aggrieved.

"Okay, okay." Xu Li quickly stopped, "I didn't say I didn't want to, and look, I left a home for you here..."

"Woo..." Kyogre's eyes lit up and he quickly asked where it was.

"You'll need to build it." Xu Li smiled and painted a pie for Kyogre, "After all, your home will be most comfortable if you build it..."

I took Kyogre back to the place where Groudon was working hard. Not long after I left, a pointed corner of land was revealed here.

"Grawdo, I've brought you some help."

Groudon turned around and saw the pufferfish.

When the two divine beasts met, they were extremely jealous of each other.

Groudon roared, causing the earth to rise even higher, and the work progressed even faster.

"Ouch..." Kyogre blinked.

I don't understand what this idiot is doing.

……

With the collaboration of Groudon and Kyogre, or rather, Kyogre's encouragement to Groudon, in less than a day, a large circular flat land appeared out of thin air in the sea area that was supposed to belong to the deep sea, which was large enough to accommodate dozens of Pokémon.

Kyogre made a nest in a corner under the sea. Groudon was not satisfied, so he built a small hill diagonally opposite Kyogre, took the energy block reward given by Xu Li, and lived there himself.

Although Groudon was described as a laborer, he was only busy for a short period of time. He built his own house and received a satisfactory reward. In terms of being a beast of burden, he couldn't compare to others...

"It just so happens that that place is planned as a volcanic area." Xu Li looked at the hill erected by Groudon and nodded.

Then he walked slowly to the center of the circular land.

A seed emitting green light appeared in his hand.

【Miracle Seed Extreme】

The reward for defeating the Mountain Queen in Washing Green. Planting this seed will gradually increase the grass energy content in this area, turning it into a paradise for grass-attribute Pokémon.

As Infernape dug a deep pit here, Xu Li put the seeds in it and buried it. The blue Gyarados next to him opened his mouth and spit out a huge stream of fresh water.

Almost instantly...

Accompanied by the sound of soil friction, a small sapling broke through the ground and continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Afterwards, it grew into a slender little tree as tall as Xu Li, with branches emitting a fresh scent.

Even Xu Li felt refreshed when he smelled it.

"It seems that it can only grow to this size. It will take time for it to grow into a big tree." Xu Li nodded. He was already satisfied.

He has time now anyway.

But at the moment.

"Woobi~!"

Celebi, who had been sleeping on Xu Li's shoulder, suddenly appeared, lying on top of Xu Li's head, looking at the small tree in front of him with surprise, his eyes full of love.

Then it moved and circled around the small tree, once again emitting the ancient power of time.

suddenly!

The small tree that was originally stagnant seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button, as if it had experienced hundreds of years in an instant. With a "boom", it suddenly exploded and expanded from a tiny sapling.

In Xu Li's surprised eyes.

The trunk of the tree continued to expand, almost filling Xu Li's eyes, forcing Xu Li to take several steps back, but he still could not keep up with the tree's rapid growth.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

A tree trunk that required dozens of people to hug horizontally appeared in front of Xu Li. Looking up, he saw that the branches were covered with leaves, so dense that they almost covered the newly built island.

Waves of refreshing energy surged into Xu Li's nose, but it still couldn't conceal Xu Li's shocked look.

"Why is it so big!?" he couldn't help but exclaim.

The sunlight hits the tree, giving it a golden edge. On this island, it looks as majestic as the golden giant tree in the Elden Ring.

In a corner far away, Groudon couldn't help but stand up and look at the tree in shock.

"Woobi~!"

After finishing the spell, Celebi flew back to Xu Li with a tired but happy face, and showed Xu Li the results with pride.

"You did all this..." Xu Lizhen couldn't help but stroke Celebi's forehead.

This time,

This island that Xu Li had just built was almost entirely covered by this tree and was filled with a beneficial aura.

It has truly become a paradise.

Chapter 129 Construction of Outlying Islands

Xu Li looked up at the sky which was completely covered by trees. In the circular plot dug by Groudon in the deep sea, the crown of this tree covered almost a quarter of the circle from the center.

and……

Xu Li's system can even provide information about this tree.

【Miracle Tree (renameable)

It was born from a miracle seed, and after years of vicissitudes, it finally grew into a towering figure.

The area where this giant tree is located will receive the following effects:

1. The existence of the Miracle Tree will gradually change the surrounding environment, making the land in the area more fertile, the water source purer, and improving the living environment quality of all Pokémon in the area.

2. All fruit trees in the area have a stable and abundant harvest

3. All Grass-attribute Pokémon in the area will enjoy a full range of benefits, including but not limited to: gaining a 'lush' state, increased mastery of attribute energy, and faster physical recovery.

4. Pokémon in the area also enjoy some benefits

5.……】

Xu Li looked at the effect of the miracle tree strangely. What should he say?

Did you build a wonder?

Good,

Xu Li could indeed feel the rich scent emanating from this giant tree. Not only the Grass-attribute Pokémon, but Xu Li also felt that the Infernape and Gyarados beside him were also enjoying its blessings, with faces full of enjoyment.
