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

He also agreed with Xu Li's statement.

"Koujie!" The greedy Lapu led the way, jumping and skipping. Having just been released from prison, he was now curious about everything.

Whenever I see any fruit on a tree, no matter whether it is ripe or not, I will go over to taste it, and then I will spit out saliva because of the sourness.

Whenever I saw Rattata in Alola form with his butt buried in the dirt, I would go over and kick him, and then I would be chased and beaten for several blocks.

After walking and stopping, with Xu Li's appropriate adjustment of the direction, they arrived at the first point on Mount Lanakila where there were only Zygarde cells.

At the bottom of a cliff, Xu Li stood above and could see the green light it emitted. It looked like a green caterpillar like Xiao Z, but was flatter. It was not the core and had no consciousness of its own.

This type of Zygarde's Z cell will only emit green light when the core is close. It is usually invisible, so normal passers-by cannot detect it.

Xu Li didn't go down, but threw Little Z to the bottom of the cliff, letting it absorb it by itself, and then asked Gengar to bring it up.

"Goooo!"

This caused Xiao Z to look resentful.

So why not let Gengar carry him down, but throw him down instead? !

However, it was satisfied that it could absorb the cells and obediently returned to Gengar's back.

Xu Li asked with interest, "How far do you have to go before you can transform?"

"Goooo..."

"One cell missing? Then we'll be almost there once we absorb the remaining cell from the snow mountain. Let's go! To the top of the mountain!" Xu Li turned around and saw Liuwei dragging a dazed snow boy. "Huh? Liuwei, what are you doing?"

"Woo..."

Pushing the pitiful snow boy in front of Xu Li like a snowball, Liuwei shook his tail.

"Is it in this state as soon as I see it?"

"Woo..."

Acerola said, "He must have accidentally rolled down the mountain. The slope of Mount Lanakila is too steep, and it's easy to see dizzy snow boys like this on the mountainside."

"That's it..."

Xu Li took out the medicine and sprayed it on the snow boy, causing him to open his eyes in confusion.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Mihu?"

"Come on, follow us, we'll take you back to the top of the mountain."

After putting the Snow Boy down, Xu Li slowly walked towards the mountaintop. After a moment of confusion, the Snow Boy finally understood what Xu Li meant and quickly swung his small legs to keep up with Xu Li's pace.

To be honest, Mount Lanakila is quite dangerous. The Alola Rada and the Ulla hiding in the dark have the habit of attacking people by surprise.

But the greedy Lapu was in the lead. Every time he arrived at a new place, he would curiously poke his head into the bushes, and he took all the sneak attacks that Xu Li and his group had to endure.

This is not,

A Maula waved its claws containing evil energy and grabbed the greedy Lapu, making him scream and run back quickly, covering his butt.

The Snow Boy who was following Xu Li was also frightened and shivered.

After all, as a predator on the snowy mountains, Magma will often target weak Pokémon and is the target that Pokémon on the snowy mountains need to be most wary of.

And... Ma-la acts in groups. If you encounter one, it means there are four or five more hiding nearby.

"Gulp!"

Ma'la shouted loudly and continued to attack the greedy Lapu.

Acerola reacted quickly: "Sand Eater, Rock Blockade!"

With a loud bang, several rocks pressed towards Malanla, so that its sneak attack could only tear the rocks in front of it, causing rocks to fly everywhere.

The greedy Lapu who managed to escape quickly hid behind Aserola and patted his chest with lingering fear.

Seeing that Majula was successfully delayed, Aserola launched a counterattack: "Sharp Stone Attack!"

Several sharp stones with distinct corners flew towards Ma Xila. After the first few stones broke, Ma Xila gradually couldn't resist. Then the sounds of several stones colliding with flesh were heard one after another, and Ma Xila was smashed to the back like a rag.

"Kou Jie!!"

But then, Greedy Rapp's panicked cry was heard.

above,

Another Ma-la swooped down from the sky, its sharp blade swinging straight at the defenseless Acerola. In an emergency, to protect Acerola, Greedy Lap could only close his eyes and jump between them, attempting to block the attack with his own body.

Just when Ma'la's claws were about to arrive.

"Freezing beam!"

A pure white beam of light suddenly shot out from Vulpix's mouth, directly sending Magora flying in the air, completely failing to successfully attack the target.

Then they switched their fire directly and swept away the Xianla and Ma Xianla that stuck their heads out one by one. In less than a few seconds, some escaped and some were injured. The Ma Xianla in this area had been completely cleared out.

Snow Boy stared blankly at Vulpix, who was squatting obediently beside him after putting away his skills.

Before it had time to be afraid of so many Mamolas, these Mamolas were killed by Vulpix's ice beam!

Awesome! Even better than its parents!

At this moment, Snow Boy's heart was full of admiration.

Greedy Lapu opened his eyes and touched his body with a puzzled look on his face.

Didn't seem injured? Acerola wasn't injured either.

Could it be that my magical power has reached perfection?!? Greedy Lapu thought excitedly.

Acerola patted Greedy Lapu's head and said, "It was Xu Li who saved us, but I also want to thank you for saving me."

"Kouhee!" Greedy Lapu grinned and laughed.

Even though it wasn't my own mastery of magic, I was thanked by Acerola! !

"Mi-ho!"

At this moment, the Snow Boy cried out excitedly,

Because two figures appeared in the snow fog ahead, the Ice Ghost Guardian and the Snow Demon Girl, looking at it quietly.

Xu Li: "Are those your parents? Go ahead."

He gave the snow boy a push, causing it to stumble towards its parents. The snow boy was also very happy and moved his short legs vigorously.

When it accidentally rolled down from the top of the mountain, it was terrified. Although it encountered kind and powerful human help, it still felt insecure. Seeing its parents at this time was like finding a safe haven.

But when it was halfway through its run, the Snow Demon Girl suddenly shook her head at it, pulled the Ice Ghost Guard away, and in a few breaths, it disappeared in the snow, leaving only a piece of emerald green stone in its place.

"call……?"

The snow boy was left halfway there, at a loss, staring blankly at his parents' departing backs, with tears welling up in his eyes.

Acerola looked at Xu Li and said, "Its parents must have entrusted their child to you. After all, the living environment in this snowy mountain is quite harsh... If a child can meet a trainer, parents will entrust their child to them."

Suddenly, Aserola winked at Xu Li. "We in Alola have a saying that the family where the Snow Boy lives will have many children and grandchildren, and the family will prosper and become wealthy..."

Xu Li: “…”

He reached out and tapped Acerola's head with his finger.

He took a deep breath, then slowly walked over to the Snow Boy and picked him up, bewildered. His body was hidden inside the bamboo hat, and when he held it, it made a rustling sound.

Go back to where the Snow Fairy was before and pick up the emerald green stone she left behind.

"The Awakening Stone?... It seems your parents left it specifically for you."

"Huh, huh..."

The snow boy wanted to hug the last thing his parents left him, but unfortunately his round little hands were too short to reach it.

Xu Li also took the Awakening Stone away and said with a smile: "You can't touch it now. I will give it to you when you become stronger."

"You guy, just follow me first."

"call……"

"Acerola, let's keep going."

“Um…Okay!”

Holding the snow boy and the Vulpix that jumped onto his shoulder and licked his cheek with its pink tongue, Xu Li set out again on the road to the top of the mountain.

Greedy Lapp still takes the lead.

In a corner, Xu Li successfully found Zygarde's second cell on Mount Lanakila. The location was easy to reach, so he asked Xiao Z to go forward and absorb it.

"How about it?"

Little Z was extremely excited, and his body suddenly emitted a green light like the light of evolution. His form changed rapidly, and soon, a green and black Pokémon that looked like a Doberman appeared in front of Xu Li.

——Zygarde 10% form.

Now it only has a little combat power.

Chapter 144 Leaving Alola

"Oh? Mr. Xu Li, and Aserola, I didn't expect to see you here."

Just as Xu Li was about to test the power of Xiao Z's new form, a figure slowly walked down from above the trail.

Aserola was surprised: "Uncle Merdan, why are you here?"

Merdan smiled and said, "I've been staying here since I left the lighthouse. After discussing with several of us island kings, we decided to build our Alola Pokémon League base here, on the top of Mount Lanakila! So I wanted to survey the terrain here."

Due to its remote geographical location, Alola has never joined the alliance, so it has independently created unique activities and responsibilities such as the Island Tour, Island King, and Captain.

"Pokémon League...? Should we form one too?"

"Haha, it's still early! It will take at least a year or two, Acerola. I look forward to your growth!" Merdan laughed and looked at Xu Li. "Mr. Xu Li, if you are willing, we will also welcome you to our Alola Alliance!"

The alliance hasn't even been established yet, and you're already recruiting...

Xu Li repeatedly stopped and said, "I might not be suited to the work of the alliance, so forget it."

"Okay..." Merdan shook his head regretfully, but he didn't have much hope. After all, as far as he knew, Xu Li had a special relationship with the Sinnoh champion Zhulan.

At this time, Aserola raised her hand and said, "Uncle Merdan, now that you have seen it, let's continue with Aserola's captain test!"

"Want to stay here...that's fine too!"

After finding a relatively flat ground nearby, Aserola and Merdan stood facing each other. Greedy Lap looked around, then quickly ran to Aserola and anxiously pulled up her sleeve.

"Hmm? Rapp you want to help me fight?"

"Kou Jie!"

"But..." Acerola hesitated.

Xu Li shouted directly: "It wants to be your Pokémon, Acerola!"

These words stunned both of them for a moment.

"Kou Jie!?"

Greedy Lapp himself doesn't know whether he wants to be the other party's Pokémon.

Xu Li helped Acerola take out the Poké Ball: "Come in quickly, don't you want to help Acerola fight?"

"Koujie..." Greedy Lapu hesitated for a moment, but still tapped the Poké Ball lightly and went in. Then Xu Li handed it to Aserola.

Acerola: "..."

Why didn't this man and Pokémon ask me if I agreed?

However, Acerola did realize that Greedy Lapu was not as evil as the story said, and the naughty deeds it did were just to attract other people's attention.

Pursing his lips, he picked up the Poké Ball containing Greedy Lapp and said, "Then we are companions..."

The Poké Ball shook slightly in response.

Xu Li was relieved.

After all, in the animation, GreedyLapp is also Acerola's Pokémon.

Next, it was Merdan's battle test against Aserola.
