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

boom!

“Ah~~Wu~~!!?”

The effect was outstanding, and the ancient sword leopard let out another groan of pain, and its two thick leopard claws covered its abdomen tightly, obviously in great pain.

Xu Li stared at the bravery of the horse sword soldier in amazement. He had not expected this...

A small soldier with a colt sword could actually do such a thing.

This is really...

It was just like Rayquaza was killed by Caterpillar's electric net, although the difference between the two was not that big.

Seeing that after the ancient sword leopard recovered from the pain, it looked at the horse sword soldier with a bad look, Xu Li did not hesitate.

"Let's go too!"

Mega Gengar and Ancient Jade Fish also joined the battlefield.

Soon after.

“Ah~~!”

Gujianle was covered in wounds. Surrounded by the Pokémon, his body was covered in burns. Meanwhile, Shadow was being stepped on by Gengar, completely unable to resist. He could only look at Xu Li with pitiful eyes, begging for mercy.

Xu Li smiled, let Gengar leave the shadow of the Ancient Sword Leopard, took out the Poké Ball, and gently threw it in front of the Ancient Sword Leopard.

"Want to come in?"

“Ah~wu~!”

Gu Jianbao shook his head, obviously not wanting to enter the Poké Ball, but his claws obediently touched the Poké Ball that rolled in front of him. In an instant, he turned into red light and was sucked in.

Xu Li leaned over to retrieve the Poké Ball and sighed, "It would have been better if I had done this earlier. I wouldn't have stopped you from playing with it if it was in my hands..."

The Gujianleopard Poké Ball just shook a few times in response.

After the battle, Gengar gradually lost his super evolved appearance, and the Ancient Jade Fish swam affectionately around Xu Li's head.

Only the soldier with the horse sword, the sneak attacker that Gu Jianbao hated, sat on the ground with his legs slumped after his target disappeared, and seemed to be slightly injured.

After all, the gap between it and the Ancient Sword Leopard is quite large. It is just the occasional resistance of the Ancient Sword Leopard, and its body is covered with frost after the indiscriminate snowstorm of the Ancient Sword Leopard.

"Don't rush forward rashly next time..." Xu Li helplessly stroked the back of the horse sword soldier's head without a blade. "Luckily it was the Ancient Sword Leopard. If the opponent was the Ancient Jade Fish, you would be in trouble."

Although the Colt Sword Soldier had a good effect, it was too difficult for him to face the Ancient Sword Leopard. If the Colt Sword Soldier fell into the lava area where the Ancient Jade Fish appeared, Xu Li could not imagine the consequences.

But the soldier with the horse sword raised his head blankly, his dark yellow eyes flashed, and finally he just shook his head.

"why?"

The soldier with the colt sword didn't respond at all.

Xu Li: “…”

It's indeed difficult to communicate.

He had no choice but to say: "Then you must become stronger in the future."

He carefully avoided the blades on its body and brushed off the remaining ice spikes on it before putting away the soldier with the colt sword who nodded slightly.

Xu Li released the Ancient Sword Leopard again. It had been thinking in the Poké Ball for a long time and seemed to have accepted its fate.

He collapsed to the ground, his face full of unhappiness.

The body collapsed, the belly was open, and the ancient sword leopard started to move.

"Aww!"

You can kill me or chop me up, it’s up to you!

Xu Li: “…”

It was as if he was a bully who imprisoned a decent woman.

But when you think about it, it is true.

Seeing the exposed belly of the ancient sword leopard, I would feel sorry for my efforts if I didn't rub it.

It felt cool and soft to the touch, but warm when you sank in. Sure enough, even an ancient sword leopard has a hot belly.

Seeing Gu Jianbao's expression of enduring humiliation, Xu Li complained, "Entering my Poké Ball shouldn't be as uncomfortable as this, right? My Poké Ball isn't a prison."

"Ah..." Gu Jianbao's face was full of indignation.

The leopard has lost its freedom and can no longer run freely...

"Of course... who told you that you lose your freedom once you fall into the hands of humans?" Xu Li tilted his head. "Who said you can't run? It just requires supervision."

"Ah...?" Leopard asked in confusion.

"That was the case two thousand years ago, but not now. Now we're called Pokémon trainers, not Pokémon tamers."

"If you don't care about your injuries, you can run freely now."

The ancient sword leopard immediately regained its spirit, even though its body was covered in bruises and reds. Its small, snow-white ears quivered and stood up.

“Ah~~!”

"Etc., etc."

Seeing the ancient sword leopard turn around and try to run, Xu Li hurriedly stopped it.

"Uh-huh?"

"Didn't I say that supervision is needed? So..." In the ancient sword leopard's puzzled eyes, Xu Li suddenly rode on its snow-white body, "Take me with you!"

Ancient Sword Leopard: "..."

Didn't you say I was injured? How could you still shamelessly ride on me?

However, there's nothing wrong with taking this human with us.

Gu Jianbao puffed out his lips.

He started silently, and ran uphill along the stone wall, mobilizing his legs to run as fast as he could.

Although the Ancient Sword Leopard is inlaid with many prismatic crystals, it does not prick your butt at all when you ride on it. With the cool air emanating from the Ancient Sword Leopard, it feels quite cool and comfortable to run on it in this relatively hot western region of Padia.

But if it is in the cold Sinnoh region, it may be even colder.

As it ran, the Ancient Sword Leopard seemed to have endless energy, and its speed never slowed down. As it roamed around the area, Xu Li could only watch the surrounding scenery receding.

You can also see dust rising from the hot desert, with colorful lights flashing in the air, as if someone is fighting.

At the same time, something seemed to fall to the ground from the distant watchtower with a loud noise.

"Let's go and take a look." Xu Li pointed to the closer watchtower.

Gu Jianbao blinked and turned obediently to where Xu Li was.

As he got closer, Xu Li could see clearly what had fallen to the ground.

A treasure chest monster.

Countless glittering gold coins were scattered on the ground. The pale blue little man had a panicked look on his face. He kept picking up the gold coins on the ground and dragging them back into the treasure chest.

Money-seeking spirit.

It is said that this Pokémon was born from an ancient treasure chest. It moves slowly and will not be easily exposed to people. Most of the time, it is difficult to be recognized as a Pokémon, and is just regarded as an antique treasure chest.

But now, because the gold coins were scattered all over the ground, this money-seeking spirit jumped out and was completely exposed in front of Xu Li.

"Do you need help?"

"Mmm~!"

The sudden words frightened the money-sucker so much that he jumped up, and the gold coin glasses on his face tilted to one side.

Chapter 151: Striving to seek the spirit of wealth, the treasure owner?

"I say, do you need help?" Seeing Suo Cailing jumping up because of being scared by him, Xu Li covered his mouth and smiled.

“Mmm~!!”

But Suo Cailing didn't appreciate it at all. She quickly covered the gold coins in her arms and shook her head desperately, fearing that Xu Li would pick up all the gold coins she had scattered on the ground.

When in walking form, it collects gold coins everywhere in the Padia region, and immediately runs away when it encounters humans.

But now... his treasure chest was right next to him, and all the gold coins he had painstakingly collected over the years were either inside or on the ground. He couldn't escape at all...

Suo Cailing could only quickly protect the gold coins and wanted the human in front of him to leave quickly.

When communicating with other seniors, it had heard about their bad behavior!

If these humans see me, they will probably not only pick up the gold coins on the ground, but also open my treasure chest and take away all my savings!

At that time... I will have to collect them again...

Thinking of this, Suo Cailing's eyes suddenly became nervous, and her slender legs even trembled, but she bravely protected the gold coin, not wanting Xu Li to get any closer.

"Really? I just want to help you out of kindness." Seeing Suo Cailing's wary expression, Xu Li tilted his head and continued, "Besides... with your small body, it would probably take you two or three days to pick up all these gold coins and put them back in your treasure chest. If I help you, it won't take long."

"What if... a passing beast snatches you away, or if other humans steal your gold coins? That would be terrible. After all, there are a lot of people passing by this watchtower."

"Hmm..."

Suo Cailing hesitated.

It was indeed as the human said, there were indeed many naughty and ferocious Pokémon in this area, and it had had its gold coins robbed by the Ape openly.

so……

If I try to move the gold coins myself, will I really encounter the situation described by this human?!

Suo Cailing was frightened by the situation Xu Li had anticipated, and his eyes immediately became panicked.

"Mmm~!?"

"Okay, okay, I definitely won't take your gold coins..." Xu Li said helplessly, "After all, if I really wanted to take them, your small body wouldn't be able to resist me at all."

Upon hearing this, the money-sucker trembled.

"Don't worry."

Xu Li walked closer and picked up a few Suo Cailing gold coins. He weighed them under Suo Cailing's nervous gaze. They felt evenly and smoothly, just like normal gold coins. Xu Li could not tell the difference at all.

But this is the gold coin that allows the Wealth-Snatcher to evolve. It's said that only the Wealth-Snatcher itself can identify it. You need to collect 999 gold coins, plus the one coin on your body. When you have collected 1000, you can evolve into a wealthy man. In one fell swoop, you'll go from a weak little treasure chest to a powerful person.

Xu Li put the gold coins back into the treasure chest with the door wide open of the money-seeking spirit. Even though a pile of gold coins were scattered outside, you could still see that there were still quite a few gold coins inside, which showed the efforts of this money-seeking spirit.

"Hard-working little guy," Xu Li smiled.

He originally planned to catch this money-seeking spirit, but when he saw that it had collected so many gold coins and worked so hard for so long, he gave up the idea.

With Xu Li's help, Suo Cailing only needed to watch, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had collected all the gold coins scattered on the ground.

Suo Cailing also happily went back to his treasure chest, then poked his head out from the pile of gold coins in the treasure chest, looking at the gold coins he had lost and found with a look of cherishment on his face.

"Alright..." Xu Li clapped his hands and tapped the tentacle connected to the gold coin on the head of the Wealth Suo Ling. "Next time, keep a closer eye on your treasure chest and don't let it drop again."

After saying that, Xu Li turned around and called out to Gu Jian Bao, who had run away to who knows where.

The guy was not interested in what was happening here. He called out to Xu Li a few times and then ran away on his own.

“Mmm…!”

I heard the money-sucker calling from behind.

Xu Li turned around: "Is there anything else?"

Suo Cailing hesitated for a few moments, then suddenly gritted his teeth, reluctantly picked up a gold coin from the pile of gold coins, and dragged it to Xu Li with a grunt.

"Mmmmm!"

"Thank you for me?" Xu Li was surprised and opened his palm, allowing Suo Cailing to put the gold coins in his palm.

After all, seeing how precious Suo Cailing treated the gold coin, and how grateful he was to Xu Li for handing the gold coin over to him, he could truly feel Suo Cailing's gratitude.

Stroking the gold coins Suo Cailing handed over, Xu Li asked curiously, "By the way, how many gold coins do you still need?"

“Hmm…” Suo Cailing calculated, “Hmm!”

"You have 957 gold coins!?" Xu Li was a little surprised. The gold coins in the treasure chest looked like a lot, but he didn't expect there were really so many.

After thinking for a while, Xu Li handed the gold coin back to Suo Cailing: "Then you should take this back... After all, you are about to evolve, and this might be all you need."
