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

It seems that Xu Li and his team's victory over the evil Iron Poison Moth Legion had a great impact on the young blue cotton bird's cognition.

Xu Li asked curiously, "Where are your parents?"

To survive in Area Zero, this bluebird must have been protected by the Tanabata Bluebird. This bluebird hasn't even made it past its infancy yet.

But the blue bird suddenly felt as if it had lost its parents: "Chirp..."

Xu Li: “…”

Well, it seems he hit the nail on the head.

"Would you like to follow us?"

"Chiu~?"

Xu Li took out the Poké Ball and the Energy Cube, and the Cottonbird soon couldn't resist the temptation.

At this point, Xu Li had an extra hat - a green cotton bird hat that was so soft and light that one could hardly feel its weight.

……

In front of Observation Station No. 1.

Sensing the core inside the genuine Vermilion Book in Papa's hand, the sensing door opened automatically, and a gray and old smell mixed with dust blew in the face.

This caused everyone to cover their noses and take a few steps back. Mudan was even choked and coughed several times.

"Compared to the Zone Zero Gate above, this place lacks staff to take care of it... Moreover, the equipment here looks very old. Doesn't the Padia Alliance want to update it?" Daigo shook his head.

Xu Li also nodded in agreement.

Compared to the place where you can sleep in the game, this place seems even more uncared for and more gray and simple.

But Piper frowned: "That shouldn't be the case..."

"My parents have been conducting research in Area Zero for over a decade, but the state of this First Observatory is clearly uninhabitable."

"Don't they use this one?"

Xu Li: “…”

He didn't know what to say.

After pretending to cough a few times, he turned and said, "Piper, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Piper nodded firmly. "He said before that to reach the institute, we must first unlock the locks on the four observation stations. No matter what, I should be the one to go in."

"I'll go with you." Xu Li shook his head, then saw their worried eyes and smiled, "Although it smells a bit bad, I have a way."

Hearing this, Piper asked curiously, "Is there any solution?"

Although he had the courage to enter this gray and old observatory, it would be best if there was a way to make it feel better.

Xu Li smiled strangely: "My method..."

“Meow!?”

He called out New Leaf Cat, letting it wrap its two paws around his neck and hug him tightly, with its furry body covering the area just below his nose.

In this way, the New Leaf Cat air purifier is ready!

When I took a breath, I could smell the scent of fresh grass.

Papa: “…”

The only Pokémon he has that can emit a scent is Chili Pepper.

It would be better to do nothing...

At that moment, Papa puffed up his nose, held his breath, and entered the observation station. Xu Li followed closely behind.

While Papa was fiddling with unlocking the observatory, Xu Li was searching for information inside the observatory.

Found a research journal of Futu.

The first part was about their discovery of Taijinghua and the subsequent investment from the company, and the latter part...

[…But the energy of the crystals is far greater than I imagined, and our understanding of them is inadequate, making the results difficult to predict… But if we fully utilize this energy, we might be able to embark on research that was previously unattainable…]

[We can finally build Taijing Paradise... Then, the three of us...]

Xu Li raised his eyebrows. No matter how hard he tried to write in his diary, he would never write the whole thing.

At this time, Papa had unlocked the lock using the intermediate machine. He took a deep breath, looked curiously at the diary in Xu Li's hand, and muttered, "What... is this?"

Xu Li handed the diary to him and continued to look around.

Most of them were antique research instruments. Thanks to the closed door, no Pokémon broke in, so these instruments were well preserved - but they were of no use to Xu Li.

After waiting for a while, Xu Li asked through Xinye Miao: "Didn't your parents call you?"

Piper shook her head.

"Then I'll go out first."

After walking out of the observation station, the newly born New Leaf Cat thankfully shook itself off Xu Li and licked its own fur.

"Meow~"

After straightening and cleaning its hair, Xinye Miao jumped back into Xu Li's arms with a resentful look on its face and stuck out its tongue at Xu Li's neck.

For a moment, the moist, soft and tender touch lingered on Xu Li's neck.

"Okay, okay...it's so itchy after being licked..." Xu Li raised his head, patted its furry head, and comforted Xinye Cat.

I saw Xijiana lying in the grass outside, with her butt exposed and shaking.

He blinked and walked forward curiously.

"what are you doing?"

"Um, shh..." Xijiana was obviously startled.

Chapter 158: Singing

"Hmm..." Xi Jiana nervously hissed at Xu Li and said mysteriously, "I found something good!"

"What?"

"Look here..."

Xu Li looked in the direction that Xijiana pointed. Just on the level below them, pink Pokémon lined up and climbed up a huge rock in the center in an orderly manner.

There are also many aggressive Pokémon wandering around, such as Hatchling, Flamehawk, Magma, and Blazecat.

Shijiana said firmly, "With so many aggressive Pokémon, we'll definitely have to fight them again when we go down. Although we're not afraid, it will be troublesome. And with these Jigglypuffs here..."

Xu Li blinked, looked at the group of roaring tails below, and said softly: "What do you mean?"

Shigana: "These Jigglypuffs are definitely going to sing next! Jigglypuff, I get it! They say the wavelength of their singing is exactly the same as the wavelength of living things sleeping!"

"So if they start singing, the audience who hears them will almost fall asleep."

As she spoke, Xijiana pointed to a locust under a tree that was kicking its legs and looking around, paying close attention to every movement around it.

"This vigilant Pokémon is no exception!"

"Then we'll be able to easily complete the rest of the journey without encountering any attacks!"

As Holmes Higginson spoke, she became more and more certain of her speculation.

Xiaoye was also thinking in the back: "So that's how it is! So amazing..."

Xu Li remained silent for a while.

After pondering for a while, he exclaimed in admiration, "The logic is so rigorous that it's impossible to refute it."

Hearing this, Xi Jiana raised her head proudly: "...Hehe."

But Xu Li changed his tone: "But is it possible... that they are not Jigglypuff?"

Xijiana was stunned: "What?"

Then she was unconvinced: "Impossible!"

"They are going to sing..." At this time, Xiaoye pointed to the 'Jiggle' that had all climbed onto the rocks, and one of them had already opened its mouth.

Suddenly, a faint singing voice came into their ears.

Xu Li looked strange, Xiaoye quickly covered his ears, but Xijiana widened her eyes.

How can I describe this song?

There is casualness in the roughness, hoarseness in the casualness, and unkemptness in the hoarseness.

It's completely different from Jigglypuff's singing.

What they sang was not a sweet lullaby, but a mocking song of destruction.

In short - it's terrible.

It was so unpleasant that the Pokémon around Jigglypuff started to riot, obviously the singing had stirred up bad emotions in their hearts.

But they did not attack the person who was singing. It can be seen that this scene has occurred many times. They cannot deal with this group of "Puffballs" who are doing evil in Area Zero and singing the song of destruction wantonly.

Their faces were livid, and they quickly moved away, their anger simmering. Some of those who were still nearby, still simmering in anger, quickly rushed towards the road leading to the First Observation Station, on the verge of colliding with Xu Li and the others.

Xu Li: “…”

He looked at Xijiana and teased, "Is this what you call a good thing...?"

"Hmm..." Xi Jiana's face turned red, and she could only puff up her cheeks and say, "I'll take care of them~!"

There were about five or six Pokémon 'attacking', and the first one to arrive was a Slasher.

After reaching the platform, it looked back, thankful that the 'Song of Doom' it could hear was becoming less and less frequent. If it ran any further, it would be less effective. It couldn't help but pat its dark chest.

But when it turned around, it saw a Pokémon that looked very similar to the Sky Overlord of Area Zero blocking its way. It was stunned and for a moment was shocked by the appearance of Dragonite, thinking about whether to attack.

After all, it is the fierce-legged locust that will chase and kick any passing dog!

With a fixed gaze, it made up its mind.

Just when the Fiery Leg Locust revealed his intention and was about to launch an attack.

It was attacked.

The raging flames poured towards the Fiery-legged Locust like a pillar. The Fiery-legged Locust was caught off guard and dodged to the side as soon as it noticed it, but was still engulfed by the jet of flames.

The subsequent attacks were also difficult for the Fiery-legged Locust to resist. After a few moves, it lost its ability to fight and fainted on the ground.

Xi Jiana patted her chest and said to Xu Li, "How about it? Even if those Jigglypuffs do something bad, I can protect everyone from being attacked!"

Xu Li pointed behind her and warned: "...Then be careful."

"Huh!?" Xijiana turned around suddenly.

The Pokémon that followed saw the miserable state of the Wrestling Hound and took a defensive stance, staring at Cialis and Dragonite.

With the "Song of Destruction" behind them and enemies blocking their way in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Several Pokémon looked at each other and attacked Shigana at the same time.

At once, several moves were launched towards Xijiana.

Ma'la's icy boulders, the night-thief fire lizard's jets of flame, and Qilinqi's illusory rays. Behind them, three groups of wrestling eagle men were watching closely, using the thrust of their wings to advance at an extremely fast speed.

These wild Pokémon are all very powerful, especially those that attack directly towards Shigana, as if they know that humans are the commanders and want to capture the leader first.

It was difficult for Dragonite to cope with so many moves at once, and it was too late to mega evolve. It could only use its body to help Shijiana block several attacks, but subsequent attacks continued to come.

"Ah..." Xi Jiana widened her eyes and shouted hurriedly, "Xu Li, save me!"

Xu Li: “…”

Where are those heroic words just now!?

"Exchange venues!"

The new leaf cat lying on Xu Li's chest was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that it was being talked about. Its eyes narrowed and a purple-pink light appeared all over its body.

Xi Jiana, who was trying to dodge the attack, only felt the scene in front of her flash, and her head was buried in Xu Li's arms.

New Leaf Cat rushed into the battlefield, dodging the colorful moves with a light body. Then Xu Wu Yide also appeared, swinging a series of sharp stone attacks, hitting the approaching wrestling eagle man.

The commotion here also attracted Dawu Nimo and others on the other side of the observation station, who hurried over to help.
