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

Under Wang Luo's incredulous gaze, he rolled rapidly along the grass, constantly wrapping the rope around him, and then Xu Li tied a knot.

Because of this extremely sloppy way of tying, Wang Luo's body was almost tied into one piece, extremely strong and sealed tightly.

"Done!" Xu Li clapped his hands, looked at Wang Luo, and complained, "I told you to tie it up yourself, and now you can't even move."

Wang Luo: “…”

His face was ashen and he said nothing.

At this time, Xi Jiana finally arrived. She waved her arms from the Violent Dragon and said, "Xu Li, I'm here to help you!"

"Where are the enemies!?"

Xu Li nodded in the direction of Wang Luo.

Xi Jiana exclaimed: "Zongzi? No, Sister Zhulan!?"

She was surprised: "Xu Li, why did you tie up Sister Zhulan?"

Is this some kind of play?

Xijiana's eyes began to look strange.

Hey!

"Ugh~!" Xi Jiana covered her forehead with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, "Xu Li, why did you hit me again!"

Xu Li said helplessly: "He is a man, not Zhulan."

"Huh...but it seems like, what is the relationship between him and Sister Zhulan, why..."

"Hmm," Xu Li pondered, looking at Wang Luo, "Perhaps it can be said that he is Zhulan's ancestor?"

Xijiana's eyes widened: "Ancestor!?"

Xu Li said: "Yes, this place should have been here two thousand years ago."

Although I don’t know why Xicui is two thousand years away from the modern era instead of two hundred years as set in the game, this is the reality.

Xu Li also gave up thinking about this matter. After all, in the Pokémon setting, various times are vague.

The Kingdom of Padya had already introduced "disasters" from the "East" two thousand years ago.

Three thousand years ago, there were heroes and swords and shields in Galar.

Three thousand years ago, Kalos had already been using Pokémon to wage war.

Two hundred years before the setting of Xi Cui, people still had misunderstandings about Pokémon and rejected it.

Wait, Padia, two thousand years ago...

Xu Li looked around at the surrounding environment. He felt vaguely familiar with it before - the open space in front of the third observation station in Area Zero, where Rumbling Moon attacked them.

He looked at Wang Luo: "Is this place called Padiya?"

Wang Luo was stunned for a moment, then said: "...I will answer you, and you have to answer a question for me."

Xu Li shrugged: "Okay."

"...You guessed right, this place is called Padya." Wang Luo nodded, confirming Xu Li's guess, just as he was preparing to ask his own question.

"Why did you come here?" Xu Li asked curiously.

“…That’s the second question.”

"Then I'll answer both of you."

"Follow the directions I've been given. After sealing the four Pokémon that have caused chaos in the Kingdom of Padia, I'll come here and see you." After a short silence, Wang Luo answered simply.

"No wonder..." Xu Li suddenly realized, "It turned out that you were the one who sealed it."

"And I miss that woman!!" Xu Li snorted.

Wang Luo also asked his own question: "What do you mean by 'I am the ancestor...'?"

Although I already knew that Xu Li was a time traveler, but... I'm sure he would care about the word "ancestor".

Xu Li smiled strangely: "In my time and space, we know your descendant, her name is Zhulan."

Wang Luo looked at Xu Li's strange smile, feeling slightly uncomfortable. He frowned and asked, "What is your relationship with her?"

"My wife."

"What?"

Wang Luo was stunned and his brain went blank for a moment.

After understanding the meaning of the three short words Xu Li said,

His eyes darkened.

Chapter 164 Taile Bugs

Throwing the peacefully sleeping Wang Luo onto Solgaleo's back, Xu Li sighed as he pondered the current situation. He then checked Celebi, who had been lying on his shoulder, looking somewhat listless, since he had summoned her.

"Thank you for your hard work," Xu Li smiled, rubbed Celebi's smooth head, and slowly fed it energy cubes. "When I was sucked into the black hole, it took a lot of effort to bring us here."

"Bi...?" Celebi, who was eating the energy cube in small bites, narrowed his eyes and shook his head repeatedly.

This means that protecting Xu Li from getting hurt in the time turbulence is a piece of cake for Celebi!

Then it waved its green little hands. Although it was exhausted, it was extremely excited.

"Woobi~!"

It felt like it had regained its previous ability to travel through time!

When Xu Li rescued Celebi from Liu Bo, Celebi's ability to travel through time was suddenly blocked by the 'other' Celebi.

Now, it feels like that ability is back!

Celebi was extremely excited.

After using up the energy block in two or three bites, Celebi excitedly wanted to show Xu Li its regained ability.

"Woobi~! Woo..." Celebi expressed excitedly, raising his head.

"With this ability, Xu Li, whichever timeline you want to go to, just serve Master Celebi well! Give Master Celebi all the energy cubes he can't finish! Master Celebi will take you to that timeline!"

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then joked, "Really? Then I'll have to ask Celebi-sama for help."

Celebi raised his head and nodded, then summoned a ripple of time and space from above his head, which gradually expanded. In a short while, a mysterious small hole was born.

"Woobi!"

'Let me explore the way!'

Celebi was full of confidence and plunged in headfirst.

As usual, there was a clang, as if a piece of iron was blocking the way. It was the same situation that Celebi had encountered in the Johto region.

But this time.

Celebi's body was covered in a green light. It encountered a little resistance and paused for a moment, but soon it got in. Its small body disappeared in the small hole.

Then, the small hole slowly closed.

Xu Li blinked, somewhat incredulously: "He really went in!?"

He thought Celebi was just bragging, so he joked with him casually.

Then...

Doesn't that mean he has a complete Celebi in him?

But at this moment, a small hole of the same size suddenly appeared in the air.

Then...

Celebi was thrown out like garbage.

After staggering a few times in the air, Celebi's face was full of disbelief, and his big blue eyes were about to swell with tears.

"Woobi~~~! Woo~~"

Suddenly, it threw itself on Xu Li's chest with tears in its eyes and a look of grievance on its face, and burst into tears.

Celebi's complaints kept flashing in Xu Li's mind.

"Those guys are bullying others! No, they're bullying Celebi!"

"Xu Li! You have to help me, help me teach those guys a lesson! !"

Xu Li: “…”

After patting Celebi's head and soothing him, he softly asked, "Okay, okay, who do you want to teach a lesson to?"

“Wu…wu!?”

Celebi was stunned. Suddenly, it realized something and its face turned red and it stammered.

Who to teach a lesson?

How could he teach a lesson to a creature in a different timeline in that time tunnel? The only one Xu Li could teach a lesson to was Celebi.

Damn it, even now it still can’t enter the time tunnel.

In which timeline in the time tunnel am I enjoying myself?!

Celebi's face suddenly turned red with anger again.

When I can enter the time tunnel in the future, I will definitely take revenge doubled!!

“…Woobi!!”

Seeing Celebi hesitating and then "recovering" himself, Xu Li was also confused.

He said, "Okay, you've used up too much energy, take a rest first."

Celebi complained: "Woobi..."

It lay back on Xu Li's shoulder, where it felt most comfortable, breathing out of its nose, obviously still struggling.

But it had already overdrawn a lot of energy and was weak all over, so it soon fell asleep on Xu Li's shoulder.

While interacting with Celebi, Xu Li had also been walking in Area Zero two thousand years ago.

We're almost at the top.

Xijiana commanded the Tyranitar to defeat an attacking eagle-wrestler with even more chaotic feathers and more primitive legs. She said, "Xu Li, I told you this. We've come all this way, and we haven't seen a single so-called 'paradox species.' So, my guess was right! Paradox species aren't ancient creatures at all!"

As she was speaking, Xi Jiana suddenly stumbled and fell on her back. If Xu Li hadn't grabbed her cloak from behind, she would have landed face first on the ground.

Xu Li: “…”

He complained, "Watch it, stupid Xijiana."

"I'm not an idiot! Uh...what is that?!" Xijiana was furious, looking at the culprit that quietly emerged from the ground - a small piece of crystal sharp corner.

It looked like a common Tai crystal fragment in Area Zero. An ordinary person would just curse and move on if they were tripped by it.

But Xijiana stared at the sharp corner of the crystal and waved her hand: "Dragon, break this crystal! At least don't let it trip anyone else!"

Although the reason was reasonable, it was not difficult to see from Xijiana's angry expression that she just wanted revenge.

Just as Dragonite spit out a deep purple dragon wave, about to hit the crystal.

It moved.

Yes, the crystal moved.

As if swimming on the ground, he moved several meters horizontally in the air, perfectly avoiding the dragon wave of Dragonite.

Xijiana's eyes suddenly widened: "What's going on!?"

Xu Li tilted his head and watched the crystal slowly reveal a deep blue glans, looking at Xi Jiana mockingly with eyes full of stardust.

There are three prismatic crystals on its head, and crystals that look like Taijing are also inlaid on its ears and under its neck.

"Baka~!"

Xu Li quickly recognized who this was—Tailebagos.

"Is it a Pokémon?" Shijiana was confused.

"Baka...!" Tailebagos slowly crawled out of the soil, shaking his star-like tail like a dog on the phone, and slowly crawled towards Xu Li.
