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

Shigana hurriedly explained, "This means we're not far from Sinnoh! Maybe, if we pass this place and continue walking in the other direction for a while, we'll be there."

"After all, I came here from Hoenn, and Hoenn is very close to Sinnoh!"

"Alright," Xu Li sighed, noticing the noise in the distance, he shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, why am I so anxious."

"Guwu!" Little Z in Xu Li's Poké Ball suddenly came out on its own and shouted in agreement.

Xu Li: “…”

He jokingly asked, "Are you so excited to be in your hometown?"

Little Z, the core of Zygarde, shook his head. In his paramecium form, he opened his only eye and looked at the building in the distance that resembled the Roman Colosseum. "Grr!"

"Oh..." Xu Li blinked, "Sensing a lot of your kind?"

"Guuu!" Little Z nodded seriously, then he looked at Xu Li eagerly, his meaning was obvious.

It wants to join in the fun!

Xu Li smiled, took out a polyhedron emitting green light, and led it towards Xiao Z.

【Zygarde Polyhedron】

Xu Li had asked Lusamine to get the object capable of storing Zygarde cells. Less than five days after Xu Li's request, the Zygarde polyhedron was mailed to his home.

With the help of this Zygarde polyhedron, Xu Li can adjust the number of cells in Xiao Z's body at will, thereby controlling Xiao Z's shape.

Soon, as it transferred cells, Little Z had turned into a Doberman Pinscher - 10% form of Zygarde.

"Let's go." Xu Li smiled.

"Woof!" Little Z called out excitedly, and couldn't wait to run towards the direction it sensed.

Then he turned to Xi Jiana who was kicking stones on the side and said, "Follow me."

"Hehe, here we come!"

……

Close to the 'Roman Colosseum', we walked into an area that looked like a manor.

In the middle, there was a large tree with withered branches, surrounded by a group of people, including several monster Pokémon such as Nidoking and Tyrannosaurus. Some of them were holding torches and talking at the moment. No one paid attention to Xu Li who had just walked in.

According to Little Z, this tree possesses incredible power, and the companions it senses are now scattered all over the surrounding walls.

Xu Li could hear shouting in the crowd, full of anger, as if directed at the tree.

"Damn it! We spent so much energy transplanting you here, thinking you would bring us longevity, but it's useless and is only making this place wither! Most of us are also sick! What use do I have for you!"

"Someone, burn it!"

Following a loud command that seemed to come from the leader, the people holding torches immediately threw the torches in their hands towards the tree in the middle, and in an instant, a raging fire broke out.

Xu Li: “…”

If he was not mistaken, that tree was Kalos's legendary Pokémon—Xerneas, the mythical beast that symbolized life and the role of producer in the ecosystem.

How dare he? No wonder the surrounding walls are covered with Zygarde's cells, which can be detected by Little Z.

Xu Li, who was listening, also understood the behavior of this group of people.

This group of people, out of selfish desires, moved and transplanted the sacred tree without authorization, and because they could not obtain the power they wanted, they burned the sacred tree. Naturally, this attracted the attention of Zygarde, the "order" in the "ecosystem".

Sure enough, as the fire burned fiercely.

Paramecium-like bodies appeared on the surrounding walls, clinging to them. Then, countless green dots suddenly lit up.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, Xu Li's little Z shouted.

These countless Zygarde cells streaked across the air with green light and converged on Little Z. Following this, a green light suddenly spread out from Little Z's body.

In the green light, its body shape is constantly changing.

The original Doberman slowly 'stood up', with a tail extending backwards, and five token-like flags appearing on its back.

Zygarde——50% form.

It is said that the prototype is the giant sea snake in Norse mythology - Midgard Serpent. Anyway, Xu Li looks like a cobra with confused eyes, and does not seem as cute as a Doberman.

Xu Li smiled and said, "You really know how to seize the opportunity."

“Gushi~!”

Little Z narrowed his four hexagonal eyes and shook his tail with his back to Xu Li.

Anyway, even if it doesn't attract convergence, other cores will come here and gather into a 50% form to teach these guys who destroy the ecosystem a lesson.

Thinking of this, Little Z opened his big viper-like mouth, and from it as the center, shock waves like concussions emanated outwards.

Thousands of waves surging!

A move unique to Zygarde. It seems that Little Z not only absorbed the cells here, but also mixed in the core and learned its original moves.

The people who were looking at this side in astonishment felt the shock wave coming from the ground. Before their brains could react, their bodies flew everywhere like flowers scattered by fairies, and then fell heavily to the ground like objects thrown from high altitude.

In an instant, groans of pain and wailing were everywhere, and their small brains were filled with confusion.

"what happened!?"

"Where on earth did this thing come from?!"

The leader was quite courageous. He struggled to get up from the ground with his big belly and waved his hand: "Metallic Tyrannosaurus, Nidoking! Take care of this offending guy!"

Xu Li: “…”

How could he have the nerve to say that?

Before his Pokémon could make an attack, Little Z used another skill to hit it. A fierce ball of light suddenly shot out of its snake mouth and hit Nidoqueen fiercely.

boom!

Nidoking's huge body was completely unable to withstand this move. It was suddenly hit backwards and completely embedded in the wall, instantly losing its ability to fight.

The hardcore punisher!

Another unique move of Zygarde.

Xu Li blinked, and couldn't help but wonder how many cores did Xiao Z absorb this time?

This line of work seems to be a good thing indeed. I didn’t expect that what Xijiana said was right.

Thinking of this, Xu Li looked at Xi Jiana, who was watching Xiao Z's performance, hugging her chest and saying, "You don't seem as good as Lord Dragon God, right, Xu Li?"

Xu Li: “…”

He couldn't say.

But the current 50% form of Little Z is definitely not as powerful as Super Rayquaza.

While Xu Li was thinking, Xiao Z had already "cleaned up" all the monster Pokémon in this area, and their huge bodies were embedded in the wall.

At this time, it was looking for the leader everywhere.

but……

It can't be found.

Little Z turned around anxiously and looked at Xu Li with his hexagonal eyes, asking for help.

Xu Li pointed speechlessly, "Over there."

I saw a fat figure running among the woods in the distance, it was very easy to see.

I can only say that it is indeed a nearsighted snake, it can't even see this.

"Gurgle!"

Little Z followed the target Xu Li pointed at and suddenly exhaled a dragon breath, instantly submerging the forest.

The obese figure was also blown away and fell to the ground, trembling a few times, but unable to stand up again. It was obvious that he was paralyzed by the effects of the dragon's breath.

Although you won’t die, your second half of life may not be easy.

The defeat of all the Pokémon and the lord's early escape also caused the others who had just gathered here to quickly scatter in all directions. In a few breaths of escape, they disappeared.

The only thing left of this manor was the Xerneas sacred tree, which was still burning in the center.

"Gurgle!"

Little Z just flicked his tail lightly, and the green breath spread towards the sacred tree like a gust of wind, extinguishing the fire in an instant.

Then... perhaps he sensed Zygarde's power.

The sacred tree suddenly emitted a bluish-green light and slowly began to move. Its originally off-white branches slowly transformed into pure pale blue antlers, and the lower trunk slowly rose, forming the body of a deer.

Xerneas, Relaxation Mode.

The slender deer eyes just glanced at Xiao Z lightly, then turned their gaze to Xu Li behind it, as well as Celebi who was watching the show with an energy block on his shoulder, and the green dragon hovering in the sky, and blinked lightly.

It's strange that this human has so many legendary Pokémon accompanying him and they even help him.

"Woo..."

Xerneas let out a thank you sound.

But that's about it.

Having recognized the greed of humans, Xerneas was now unwilling to interact with them. He moved slowly to the side on his slender black deer legs.

"Wait!" Xu Li shouted when he saw it wanted to leave.

"Woo?"

Xu Li thought about the fate of this so-called God of Life, who would be treated as a 'Bug-Bot' by Team Flare. After thinking about it, he realized that he didn't have any tools that could help Xerneas escape from this trap, so he shouted:

"Next time you encounter a strange group of people wearing red, don't try to be brave, just run away. If they pursue you relentlessly, well... don't be shy, just seek help from the nearest Zygarde. I should be able to get the news by then."

"Uh...?" Xerneas didn't understand at all, and his head and antlers were spinning.

"It's okay, just remember it. Don't forget everything when you wake up after sleeping for a thousand or two thousand years."

"Wow..." Xerneas responded reluctantly.

He slowly moved his hooves, wanting to leave, but after a few steps... he was stopped by a man riding a goat, who rushed in against the crowd.

The man was dressed simply and looked at Xerneas eagerly, as if he had a request to make.

But Xu Li's attention was not directed in this direction.

He looked up at the sky, and at that moment a group of bright meteors streaked across the sky.

If it were just like this, there would be nothing strange about it, just a little novel at most.

But that shooting star...

It was suddenly smashing towards where Xu Li was!

"What's going on? Why doesn't Liekongzuo stop it..." Xu Li blinked. The golden light trailed by the meteor was slowly enlarging in his eyes. Before he could react, the front was already covered by the golden light.

In the vast golden sky, Xu Li only heard a pleasant voice.

“Jila~!”

After Xu Li's vision recovered, a Pokémon appeared in front of him.

Three wishing notes were hanging under the bright yellow star-like 'helmet'; behind the pure white body were tiny wings that were light and thin like cicada wings; at this moment, its pair of big black eyes were staring at Xu Li curiously.

"Jirachi?" Xu Li was puzzled.

But Jirachi responded loudly: "Jila!!"

Celebi, who was lying on Xu Li's shoulder, also widened his eyes: "Woobi!!"

How did this little star wake up?

No, Celebi thought about it, now seems to be the time for Jirachi to wake up.

Facing Jirachi's curious yet confused gaze, Xu Li blinked.

A wish-granting Pokémon that awakens only seven days after a thousand years.

Why are you looking straight towards yourself?
