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

What's the big deal!

As long as Xu Li wants, he can take Him home and play with Him as he pleases...

"What are you talking about... Do you think she can't hear you?"

Before Celebi could finish his words, Xu Li covered his green little mouth.

"Woo, woo~bi!?"

Celebi, who was trying to figure out what he had just said, suddenly looked horrified.

Why would it say something like that!?

No.

If they catch me, I'll be punished...

While Celebi was terrified, Yveltal crossed the foot of Tianguan Mountain and could vaguely see the shadow of Zhuqing Village in the distance.

The scale is much larger than when Xu Li left. It seems that it has developed very well over the years.

Xu Li immediately spotted a two-story cottage surrounded by a small courtyard, with a mango tree still standing gracefully in the center. Even though Zhuqing Village had expanded a lot, it was still on the edge of Zhuqing Village.

That’s right. After all, there are mountains behind it, so Zhuqing Village must have expanded to the plains first.

Instead of landing at the gate of Zhuqing Village, Xu Li let Yveltal land quietly at the back mountain. Looking at this former training ground, Xu Li smiled, and then went down to his own yard without hesitation.

Xi Jiana followed with an uneasy look on her face, then whispered in Xu Li's ear, "Xu Li, Xu Li, is it really okay for us to break into someone else's house like this? We won't be treated as thieves and kicked out, will we?"

Xu Li paused.

He said helplessly: "This is my home."

When the Galaxy team left, they told Xu Li that this house would always be reserved for him. That was why Xu Li came down without hesitation.

Xijiana's eyes widened: "Huh!? You have a home here!?"

"Kou Jie~!"

Gengar also popped his head out from the shadows excitedly.

It still remembered the first time it met Xu Li. It was here that it stole Snorlax's energy block and choked. Unfortunately, Snorlax was not brought here by Xu Li. Now it was lying on the outlying island, feeling so happy and comfortable.

Then it became Xu Li's Gengar butler!

Come on, let’s clean up the dust at home after a long time!

There was a fire of struggle in Gengar's eyes, and he rushed into the room excitedly from the yard, but then Gengar's cleaning master became at a loss.

Because the house is spotless.

There was no dust left by being vacant for five years, but the layout of the house was exactly the same as before Xu Li left.

Gengar blinked his slightly red eyes.

"Kou Jie!?"

No, the Galaxy team also has maintenance staff? Is it that good?

It's completely different from the Galaxy team that Gengar had in mind.

It had a confused look on its face. Although it was a good thing, Gengar looked disappointed.

"Okay, okay, if you want to clean, there will be plenty of time in the future..." Xu Li patted Gengar's head in amusement and comforted him.

"Koujie~" Gengar was still lost.

In its heart, this home is the most important thing, especially since it has not been here for a long time and it cannot clean the house at will.

Gengar squatted in the corner and drew circles in frustration.

Xu Li, standing in the middle of the living room: "..."

He was wondering if he should just make the place dirty and let Gengar clean it up.

But at this moment.

There was a sound of keys clicking in the door from outside.

"Who's in there?" came a soft but alert voice, and the door was opened.

The first one to rush in was a fire-attributed Vulpix with orange curly hair on its head. With its six orange tails spread out, it instantly locked onto the stranger Xu Li in the room, its eyes full of alertness and vigilance.

"Ugh...!"

"Very energetic." The moment he saw Liuwei and heard the familiar voice, Xu Li realized who it was and smiled at Liuwei, "I held you when you were still an egg."

Liuwei didn't understand what Xu Li meant and remained on guard.

Xu Li smiled and didn't care. He looked behind the door and sure enough, he met a pair of eyes full of disbelief.

She was wearing a simple and restrained home outfit, plain yet full of life, revealing her undecorated but well-proportioned and clean calves; she no longer had short hair like before, but had long hair, and her long, smooth, fiery red hair was simply and neatly tied behind her head; and under her red bangs, a pair of red pupils were shrinking violently, and her white hands were shaking unconsciously, as if she couldn't believe whether the person in front of her was real or she was hallucinating.

"Huo Xia, long time no see." Xu Li was the first to greet.

"You, you..." After confirming that what he saw was not fake, Huo Xia was so excited that his mouth trembled and he found it difficult to express his feelings for a moment.

Then Xu Li felt a warm and trembling body throwing itself into his arms, so hard and so tight that Xu Li found it difficult to breathe.

Xi Jiana, who had no idea what was going on, suddenly widened her eyes.

Just like that, after a long stalemate, Xu Li felt Huo Xia's embrace slowly loosen, but he could still feel Huo Xia's warm body that could not hide his excitement.

Xu Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Here..."

"After you left, I moved in without permission. Later, Team Galaxy handed me the key to this place... I, I didn't move the layout here easily. It's still the same as when you left..." Huo Xia explained anxiously in Xu Li's arms.

"No, no...I know." Xu Li was silent for a moment, "Thank you."

"Will you leave again when you come back this time?" Huo Xia asked in a low voice, holding Xu Li's body tightly.

"Uh... yes." Xu Li answered honestly.

"..."

Huo Xia pursed her slightly dry lips, suppressing her uneasy heartbeat, and asked cautiously: "This time, can you take me... with you?"

Xu Li was stunned: "Uh..."

After a moment's pause, he finally said, seeing Huo Xia's disappointed look, "Huo Xia, you... have lived here for so long, don't you..."

"No!" Huo Xia interrupted Xu Li eagerly. After hearing Xu Li's hesitation, she felt a surge of hope and said nervously, "I have handed over my duties to other members of the King Kong Team. I am currently living in Zhuqing Village and can..."

"..."

After hearing such words, there was nothing I could refuse.

Xu Li pursed his lips and nodded under Huo Xia's hopeful gaze.

"If you like."

"Ok!"

At this time, Xijiana on the side was stunned.

No, from what they said, how could Xu Li still have a lover two thousand years ago?

How should I explain this to Sister Zhulan? No, Sister Zhulan doesn't need to explain, but, but...

What should she do!

Xijiana's brain was a little confused.

……

Xu Li sat on the sofa in the living room.

Looking at Xi Jiana staring at him with her cheeks puffed up for no apparent reason, Xu Li blinked, feeling somewhat puzzled. Was she upset again?

He unconsciously rubbed the soft curly hair on Vulpix's head, which was already in his arms and had a kind look in his eyes. It was warm, fluffy and felt very good.

Not long after, Huo Xia came out of the kitchen, brought out a fruit plate, placed it on the table, and immediately sat down next to Xu Li. Her eyes were still somewhat incredible, as if the scene just now was like a dream.

She pursed her lips and straightened her hair, which she had unconsciously tidied countless times in the kitchen. "When are we leaving?"

"No hurry..." Xu Li shook his head gently, "Can Huo Xia please be our tour guide in Zhuqing Village? I haven't been to Zhuqing Village for a long time."

Huo Xia nodded.

Then she looked at Xijiana beside her, and the two of them greeted each other with smiles and told each other their names.

……

During the five years since Xu Li's absence, or rather, the five years that Xingyue had led Team Galaxy, Zhuqing Village experienced rapid development. A variety of recreational activities gradually emerged, not least the Pokémon Coordination Stage east of Zhuqing Village, which Xu Li had previously led. Bei Shang, the former Battle Leader, also established a battle facility west of Zhuqing Village, which dramatically boosted the battle proficiency of Zhuqing Village's new generation of trainers, leading to increased Pokémon captures.

As a result, the Pokémon Ranch in front of Xu Li, where the Pokémon of the trainers in Zhuqing Village lived, was also a little bigger.

Although at first glance, they are all relatively common Pokémon, but it is obviously much better than the three or two big cats and small cats before.

Xu Li also met the former leader of the Speaker Cricket. Bug-type Pokémon generally have a short lifespan, and this one was already quite old and no longer held the position of leader. However, as the leader who had led the tribe and followed Xu Li to this "treasure land," he was still highly respected.

It was now like a music teacher, teaching the several child-like round mages around it, humming a unique tune. But at this moment, seeing Xu Li slowly approaching, its humming suddenly changed its tone, and it looked at Xu Li, a human it had not seen for a long time, with a look of disbelief.

“De~de~de~de~de~de!?”

"Hahaha, long time no see." Xu Li waved.

After returning to Xicui, I hear the words "long time no see" so often.

After chatting with the Speaker Cricket for a while, Xu Li also understood that it was just bored now, so it would teach some small round wizards in the tribe some singing or skill techniques.

Xu Li smiled and said, "In that case... I have some students here. Could you please teach them a little? At least make them sing better."

Hearing this, Xi Jiana behind Xu Li showed a strange expression, which made Huo Xia, who was whispering to her next to her, confused.

“Dedede~!”

Speaker Cricket immediately clapped his arms on his chest like a baton.

This is easy! It’s just about teaching you how to sing! And the requirements are not high. For an experienced artist, it’s a piece of cake!

Under the confident gaze of Speaker Cricket, Xu Li threw out eight Poké Balls.

In an instant, pink "Puffballs" appeared on the grass, blinking their golden eyes and opening their small mouths with fangs, like hungry children.

“Dededede…!”

The speaker cricket waved its arms. If I wanted to teach them, I had to first listen to their voices.

When they heard the speaker cricket's request, the roaring tails' eyes suddenly lit up.

Under Xu Li's command, even if they occasionally came out to eat and relax to replenish their appetite, they were still ordered not to sing.

They have been holding it in for a long time!

Just like that, on the lawn where the breeze was blowing and the afternoon sunshine was shining, a group of cute little fat kids opened their little mouths with fangs.

Suddenly.

A terrifying song of destruction suddenly swept across the area like a strong wind.

“La la la la! La chop la ...

During the singing, Xijiana had anticipated it and blocked her ears, and Huoxia widened her eyes, feeling the devilish sound entering her head and making her ears extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Xu Li had anticipated it and helped her block her ears.

And the speaker cricket almost had a heartbreak.

It wanted to see black and pass out so that it could escape.

But as an artist of the older generation, it still endured it all silently.

When Song of Destruction was about to cause damage, Xu Li quickly took back all the Jigglypuffs.

"How are they?" he asked with some unrealistic thoughts, "Can their quality at least reach a level where people can listen to them without feeling uncomfortable?"

The speaker cricket fell silent.

Chapter 171 We will win!

Although Speaker Cricket thought this idea was simply a fantasy.

But out of gratitude to Xu Li, and as an artist of the older generation - I can't bear to see that there are such a group of Pokémon who can sing so badly.

It still accepted this daunting challenge.

Xu Li: “…”
