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

Suddenly attacked us, and after being defeated by us, started crying alone?

Xu Li won't tolerate it.

A knife-like blow hit Coral's head, making a snapping sound and clearing her head.

Coral let out another "Wow" and then looked at Xu Li with tearful eyes, puffing up her fair face, trying to express her stubbornness, and her red nose twitched.

But she couldn't hold back her tears, and they soon burst out like a river flooded with water.

"Uwaa ...

The coral is broken.

……

Xu Li covered his head with his hands.

He was speechless about this little female ghost and didn't want to care about her anymore.

"Where is the Poké Ball of your Ice Ghost Guardian?" Xu Li asked helplessly.

"Gu...I won't tell you..."

"Woo~ah! Don't... Coral tells you, Coral tells you..."

He took out the Poké Ball from Coral's white thigh, used the Big Self-Destruct, collapsed to the ground, and put away the Ice Ghost Guard with mosquito-repellent eyes.

"You're so fond of self-destruction. If you learn to mega-evolve, that's going to be…"

Xu Li casually tossed the Ice Ghost Poké Ball in his hand, sighed, and took it back.

He took out the 'tight binding belt', tied up Coral's hands and feet, tied him up like a fish, threw him directly onto the thick back of Wind Speed ​​Dog, and clapped his hands.

Then he turned to Riko and asked, "Are you okay?"

Riko sighed and nodded slightly. "Thank you, thank you... You saved me. And... I think I remembered something..."

"I remembered?"

"Yes... I am... the Shoryu Volt Attack Team..."

……

Soon after.

As a huge airship landed from the mining area.

“Riko…!”

A woman with brown hair tied into a bun and dressed in work clothes came down quickly and hugged the confused Riko.

"Riko~ Are you okay?... Seriously, we were fooled by false information. We searched for you in Fukaboshi Town for ages but couldn't find you..."

"It's okay, it's okay," Riko smiled and quickly let go, still a little confused by Oriole's tight embrace. "Thanks to Mr. Xu Li and Mr. Daigo for saving me...!"

the other side.

"Hello! My name is Fried." The white-haired man in a brown jacket extended his hand to Xu Li with a bright smile. "I'm the vice-captain of the Ascending Volt Attack Team. Thank you very much for saving Riko!"

"Pika~chu!"

A Pikachu wearing a navy hat on Freed's shoulder also called out in gratitude.

Freed smiled and said, "Pikachu is the captain!"

Xu Li blinked when he heard the immature name of 'Ascending Volt Attack Team', but he smiled and gave his own name and shook hands with them.

Then, Freed shook hands with Daigo, not caring about his dirty appearance. He smiled and said, "We have bathing facilities on the Valiant Shallot. Come and rest with us..."

……

The exploration team's headquarters was still shrouded in darkness.

"Onikis, why did you come back alone?"

"Coral has been captured. If I don't leave now, I won't be able to escape." The big man Onikeen sighed, "My fossilized pterosaur is also there."

"This fellow Shanhu, I'm good at taking the initiative, but he made me hide in the corner and attack by surprise."

"But I have to say that the opponent is very strong."

"I also saw his companion. Even though he was covered in dust, I couldn't mistake him. That shiny Metagross was none other than Daigo, who recently stepped down as the Hoenn Champion."

“This is a photo I took secretly from a distance.”

Onikean controlled the small screen on his wrist and sent photos of the previous situation to everyone.

The air was silent for a while, and the hall was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Spinel then spoke: "How did this guy Friede get in touch with this kind of person?"

"Is it possible that he happened to meet us..." someone interrupted, pointing at the photo of Xu Li holding a coral in one hand, "I think I know this person."

"Oh? Agate, you know him?"

"Well, he's still my colleague, but he's only been at the academy for a few days, so he might not recognize me." Agate, whose skin color almost blended into the darkness, crossed his arms and said, "Xu Li, you'll be the combat instructor at Grape Academy."

"As for his other identities, I don't know. But at least he's connected to Champion Daigo, so he's no ordinary person."

"..."

"Currently, we've seen the 'Shenglong Volt Attack Team' ship arrive at that location, and the owner of the pendant has already reunited with them... This means that our operations at this stage have failed."

"We need to think things over again... Let's stay out of the spotlight for now."

Everyone agreed just as the party was about to end.

Agate asked silently, "So, what about Coral?"

"..."

"Shanhu...she actually has no charges. The most she could have is assault. I'll have to trouble her for the time being."

……

"Ahh~! Coral Ghost is hungry~! You won't give me food, you are abusing the prisoners~!!"

On the deck of the Brave Shallot, Coral twisted her tightly bound body and screamed on the back of Arcanine, but no one paid any attention to her. Only the Arcanine under her was annoyed and shook its ears several times.

"Gurgle~" My stomach growled.

At this time, in the lounge of the Shallot, Freed pointed at Daigo who had just showered and said in surprise: "You, you, you are Daigo!?"

Daigo was puzzled: "Didn't I tell you my name...?"

"I thought it was a coincidence..." Freed was surprised. "It's really the Hoenn Champion Daigo. How did you get here?"

"I've resigned now," Dawu casually put his hand on Xu Li's shoulder, but was pushed away. He smiled and said, "It should be considered a trip to Padia... right?"

On the other hand, Oriole said excitedly, "Mr. Daigo, can we take a photo together? My Metagross is a fan of your Metagross!"

Daigo blinked. "...Huh?"

……

Listening to the commotion above, Coral looked desperate. No one cared about her anymore.

"I say, I heard your screams from so far away. Don't you want to die? Do you still want to eat?" Xu Li walked onto the deck helplessly, followed by Riko who was holding a pile of food.

“Gu…” Shanhu’s face lit up with joy, but then she turned her face away, puffing up her fair and tender cheeks, “Shanhu is going to be full and doesn’t want to live anymore!”

Xu Li was speechless.

Riko put down the food in her arms, opened the biscuit package, and carefully handed it to Coral's mouth, "Eat it."

Shanhu took a bite of the biscuit, swallowed it, and said to Riko in a soft voice, "Thank you, Shanhu. I promise I'll be gentler with you next time!"

Riko blinked. "Huh?"

Chapter 155: Coral, a Prisoner of Labor Camp

"Mmm... Coral Ghost is full! Thank you, Riko~!"

Although Shanhu spoke rudely to Li Ke, Li Ke still fed Shanhu well. Then, she turned to Xu Li and her eyes became vicious again.

"What are you going to do to Coral~" Coral muttered, his eyes becoming pitiful, "And my Ice Ghost Guardian, it's still injured! Can you help Coral heal it..."

"Wasn't that the self-destruction you ordered?" Xu Li shrugged. "If you're willing to tell me your organization's intelligence, I'll promise to help you heal the Ice Ghost Guardian."

"Coral's organization... is an exploration team~!" Coral said as a matter of course.

"What else? Purpose, personnel, where is the base? Just tell me one."

"Coral can't tell." Coral blinked and said pitifully, "If Coral tells, she will definitely be ostracized by the exploration team."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Xu Li waved his hand, "There's no way to treat the Ice Ghost Guard either."

"Hmm... You're so boring!" Coral puffed up her cheeks. "I don't even know what the exploration team's purpose is~"

"However, I can tell you the information about that guy Spinel! You have fought with him, right? He holds a grudge!" Coral gritted her teeth.

"Okay." Xu Li nodded.

He hadn't expected to gain much intelligence from Coral. Currently, the exploration team didn't pose much of a threat.

When I looked at Coral again, I found that she had a painful expression on her face.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ah~ My mouth got pricked again..." Coral said incoherently with tears in her eyes, licking the corner of her mouth with her tender red tongue in an attempt to relieve the pain.

Xu Li: “…”

After Coral had licked enough, Xu Li sat down, leaned on Windy Dog, and listened to Coral's whisper.

"I tell you, Spiner..."

Shanhu talked for a long time, eager to reveal all of Spinel's wealth to Xu Li. He just couldn't tell her which of it was true and which was hearsay.

……

The Shenglong Volt Assault Team had its own medical room. The expressionless woman with short, pink hair standing before Xu Li was their therapist, Molly, who also carried a Jigglypuff egg.

Riko said she used to be Miss Joy, but she got tired of that professional life and joined the Shoryu Volt Attack Team.

"Leave this to me! Mr. Xu Li, please wait outside!" Molly forcibly left behind the Ice Demon's Poké Ball.

"This Ice Ghost Guard belongs to the enemy and might hurt you."

"Just leave it to me, no problem." Molly ordered them to leave without mercy.

Xu Li could only helplessly lie on the guardrail outside the medical room, feeding the electric petrel that came from nowhere with French fries.

Then...

"Dian Haiyan..." A boy who seemed to be named Roy ran up, "Ah, Brother Xu Li."

"Is this Electric Petrel your Pokémon?" Xu Li held a French fry between his fingers and put it in front of Electric Petrel's mouth. Just when it opened its mouth to eat, he quickly put it in his own mouth and asked while chewing.

Dian Haiyan: “…”

Its big eyes widened.

It feels like there's no trust left between humans and Pokémon.

"Yes, Nimbus has just become my partner!" Roy said, looking a little annoyed. "But it seems to be a little incompatible with my other Pokémon, so I want to make them more harmonious."

"Oh...what are you going to do?" Xu Li asked curiously.

"Of course, let them team up for a doubles match!" Roy jumped up and looked at Xu Li with burning eyes, his face full of anticipation. "Brother Xu Li is a very strong trainer, right?"

Xu Li: “…”

He was drafted into the army.

……

Xu Li didn't expect that the small spaceship, the Brave Shallow, actually had a standard battlefield.

As the deck slowly unfolded, Roy took the lead and ran up, releasing his two Pokémon.

——The electric petrel and the stupid fire crocodile.
