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

No.

Even though Yveltal had lived for over two thousand years, how did its personality become like this?!

Is this still the ferocious 'God of Destruction'?

Two thousand years have passed, how come our IQ and mental abilities have deteriorated?!

Feeling a little surprised, Xu Li still said: "Don't worry, describe the situation around you first."

"There are a lot of people in red clothes around, carrying huge nets, trying to catch me! They're also attacking me with a lot of Pokémon!" Yveltal's aggrieved voice came, "I listened to you and suppressed the destructive energy in my body! I didn't attack humans! Come and save me~!"

Xu Li blinked, listening to Yveltal's anxious and aggrieved voice, thinking:

After two thousand years, has Yveltal's violent character become another extreme?

"I'm far away now," Xu Li said. "It looks like Team Flare is trying to catch you."

Yveltal was anxious: "What should we do then?!"

Xu Li tilted his head: "Why don't you fight back?"

……

The dense forest of Kalos.

Yveltal was stunned when he heard Xu Li's words.

Yeah, why don’t I fight back?

Then, it spread its black and red wings like arms, recalling the shape of the Wings of Return, and awkwardly drew out the destructive energy in its body.

Suddenly, destruction ensued.

A wave of inky black destructive energy surged in all directions like an energy wave. The attack directed at Yveltal was instantly blocked, and nearby Pokémon and the besieging Team Flare members were also blown high by the impact, scattering like flowers from the sky. The surrounding vegetation was also shaken, and several large trees were broken in half!

The remaining uninjured members of the Flash Team stared blankly at the sudden attack by the huge black bird, which caused great damage in one fell swoop. For a moment, they were at a loss as to what to do.

Yveltal blinked his crimson eyes at the destruction he had caused.

It seems, perhaps, that this group of people are not that strong?

Then its scarlet eyes swept over the people and Pokémon that fell to the ground around it, almost making them feel scared and terrified.

"Hurry! It's attacking again! Protect!" The leader of Team Flare shouted anxiously. "The boss is trapped. We must hold on until he arrives! We can't let him down."

Just as the members of Team Flare were hastily organizing their defense, Yveltal flapped his wings and, right before their eyes, slowly flew away from the sky and disappeared.

Fighting still hurts!

Yveltal didn't know when she'd lost her dislike for fighting. It seemed to have started the year after Xu Li had 'released' her, when she'd tediously chased off a Flame Lion that had mistakenly entered its territory.

If he had met Yveltal before Xu Li, facing the Flare Team's ruthless siege, he would have fought the Flare Team to the death, even though he knew the probability of being captured was extremely high. The Flare Team also thought so, so they had no plan for Yveltal's escape.

But now, it has long been tired of fighting.

While flying, Yveltal grabbed the Zygarde cells and madly output sound waves towards Xu Li.

"I miss you so much, I miss you so much... Where are you now? I want to go to you..." Yveltal's voice was full of sincerity.

It thought of Xu Li's delicious energy cubes. Only after living alone for another two thousand years did it realize the benefits of staying with a trainer. There was no need to worry about life, just to be ridden occasionally.

In short, Yveltal doesn't want to work hard anymore!

Xu Li: “…”

Where is your dignity as the God of Destruction?

Yveltal's change was a bit sudden for him. Xu Li was a little uncomfortable with Yveltal's current clingy personality and still preferred its former unruly nature.

Although for Yveltal, it lasted for two thousand years; but for Xu Li, it was just a flash in time. It took only a few days from the time he said goodbye to Yveltal to the time they contacted each other again.

However, since Team Flare is about to start capturing Yveltal, it means that Vladali's plan may be about to begin.

Although he didn't know how Vladali would launch his plan now that he had the key to the "Flower of Eternity", he still had to respect a villain who was working for his own "ideals" and wanted to "save the world".

He thought for a moment and said to Yveltal, "Don't be impatient."

Yveltal: "I'm in a hurry!"

Xu Li smiled and said, "Do you remember where I burned you?"

"Are we going there to find you?" Yveltal's voice sounded both aggrieved and excited.

"No, you wait there." Xu Li said, "I'll come find you then."

After saying that, Xu Li hung up the phone, leaving Yveltal on the other end dumbfounded.

Wait?

How long will it take?

Now that it has contacted Xu Li, it doesn't want to stay in the wild for a moment!

……

Sinnoh, Outlying Islands.

Xiaozhao carefully placed the Lily of the Valley Tournament championship trophy into the room that Xu Li had just moved out to be used as the 'Trophy Display Hall'. He couldn't help but step back with his hands behind his back and smiled.

Below the trophy was a photo of her with the lineup of the Lily of the Valley Conference, all smiling.

[Cuixi Sniper Tree Owl, Tree Talent, Paper Sword, Fierce Mushroom, Leafeon, Miss Cuiqun'er]

Just like the Pokémon around her now, Xiaozhao was also surrounded by her Pokémon.

Zhi Yujian stood defiantly on Xiaozhao's shoulder, as if winning the championship was nothing to him, but from time to time he looked at the miraculous giant tree behind him that was emitting rich grass-attribute energy all the time.

Not to mention the paper sword, Xie Mi was even more shocked.

It held the seeds of the Gracitia flower in its hands, its little white face filled with gratitude for its decision to follow Xu Li here. It quickly pulled Xu Li and said, "Jiumei~!?"

"I want to plant the Gracitia flower here. Please help me..."

Xu Li could only smile and help Xie Mi find a wide, soft piece of land on the outlying island so that he could plant the Gracitia flower.

After sowing the seeds, Xie Mi's small body kept moving back and forth in the land, emitting emerald green energy. In less than a moment, tender sprouts broke through the soil and grew vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the buds of Gracitia flowers bloomed all over the land, turning it into a flower field ready to bloom.

Shaymin's eyes were filled with disbelief. He had never imagined he could grow so fast and so well. He rolled over in joy. The other Pokémon living on the island also looked over curiously.

"Jiu Mi~!"

'This is indeed a great place!'

This Gracidia flower, needless to say, is quite beautiful. Xu Li smiled and said, "With such good cultivation, aren't you afraid that other Shemi will come and share this place with you? Or even take your flower farm away and drive you away?"

Xie Mi was anxious: "Meow! Meow!"

"This is the flower field I planted! Xu Li, you will help me drive them away, right!?"

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That depends on your performance..."

Although he didn't think other Shemy would be so mean, he had only been joking, but he hadn't expected Shemy to actually believe it. After all, Shemy had never come into contact with his kind before.

After the teasing, Xu Li put the white-striped wild bass and fluorescent fish that he had caught in Xi Cui during this period into the pond in the center of the island, letting them live with the original loving fish and ancient coelacanth.

Around the pond, three of the five Lulili that Xu Li had raised had already evolved into Marylu. When they saw Xu Li, they all surrounded him, wagging their blue ball-like tails, opened their hungry mouths, and looked at Xu Li with longing eyes.

Obviously he was still looking forward to Xu Li's energy block.

Looking at the leading Hercules Marylou, the future 'Dragon Slayer', Xu Li couldn't help but smile. He rubbed their round bodies before giving them energy blocks.

After strolling around the outlying island for a few rounds, Xu Li returned to the 'Trophy Exhibition Hall'.

Zhu Lan also came to Xu Li's side and looked at the 'Trophy Exhibition Hall' which only had Xiao Zhao's trophy. After thinking for a moment, she said, "A-Li, don't you think it seems too empty with only one championship trophy?"

Xu Li tilted his head: "Hmm?"

"The World Championship is about to start, A-li, do you want to join? It's in three months." Zhu Lan leaned against Xu Li and chuckled, "I've been directly invited to the Eighth Master. Speaking of which, we haven't had a serious sparring match yet."

Xu Li blinked: "Sparring, there's no place we can't spar?"

Daigo, who was wandering around the outlying island after being invited by Xu Li, also came here. Upon hearing Zhulan's words, he laughed at Xu Li and said, "Unfortunately, even though I'm not the champion anymore, I was invited too! Xu Li, you're not an Eighth Master! Hahaha!"

The invitation criteria for the Pokémon World Championship is based on the ranking in the previous tournament, and is not based on whether or not the candidate is a regional champion, but that didn't stop Daigo from mocking Xu Li harshly.

Xu Li: “…”

He clenched his fists and tilted his head to look at Daigo.

"Eighth Master, huh? Let's duel now!"

Daigo laughed heartily: "Come on!"

On the edge of the island near the sea, on the battlefield that had been organized, Daigo blinked at Groudon, who had been called out by Xu Li from a cave in the corner of the island, and shouted in disbelief, "You cheated!"

"Grawo is my Pokémon!" Xu Li said confidently.

"Change it!" Daigo refused.

"Okay." Xu Li decisively accepted Daigo's dissatisfaction.

Then, the bighead carp quietly emerged from the seashore.

Daigo: "..."

He looked up at the sky again, seeing a green figure moving faintly in the clouds, and two Deoxys moving on the top of the giant miracle tree.

Forgot this guy is a beast man.

"I don't want to play anymore!" he said decisively.

"Can't afford it?" Xu Li said.

"If you have the guts to beat me in the Masters Tournament!" Daigo said, "You can participate!"

"But the Eight Masters Tournament doesn't prohibit the use of Legendary Pokémon, right?" Xu Li tilted his head. "Wasn't the result the same?"

"Do you have any shame?" Daigo was anxious and found an excuse, "This is an unfair victory!"

"How can it be considered an unfair victory?" Xu Li was not in a hurry.

……

Xu Li finally agreed to participate in the World Championships.

It wasn't because of Daigo's taunting, okay, there was a reason for that. It was mainly because seeing Arcanine and Fang yawning aimlessly on the outlying island, I felt it was time to find them some fun toys.

It's mainly Arcanine. Even if Fang is idle, he is not afraid of anything.

But before that, Xu Li took a sip of the hot tea handed to him by Ai Guanshi, wondering if he had temporarily forgotten something?

Oh yes.

Yveltal, it's still waiting in Baike City.

At this time, Xu Li's participation in the World Championship was confirmed. Zhu Lan came over with a stack of information and said, "The World Championship will be held in Galar. The Galar champion, Dandi, possesses a Dynamax system, which gives him a huge advantage."

Lusamine crossed her right leg and said nonchalantly, "Then let's change the venue."

Seeing Zhulan and Xu Li looking at her at the same time, Lusamine smiled and said:

"Even though there's no Pokémon League in Alola, where our Aether Foundation is located, our foundation has been sponsoring the World Championships. We have the right to influence the location of the championships, but we've never used it."

Xu Li: “…”

Good guy.

What exactly are those that are not sponsored by your Ether Foundation?

As if she could see Xu Li's confusion, Lusamine looked at him with a smile. "This is something a 'senior' has been telling me since I took over the foundation... Make friends widely. The greater the impact, the stronger the radiation grid you form, and the less vulnerable your forces will be to destruction."

Xu Li: “…”

I'm a little confused about what she meant by 'senior'. But that means the Ether Foundation has invested in many areas, right?

The financial resources are very strong. The financial resources are very strong.

Xu Li still shook his head and rejected Lusamine's initial suggestion: "No need, just think of it as a trip to Galar."

Besides, he doesn't have much desire for the championship. If he really wants to win, his level one god is enough to form two teams.

Zhulan smiled and hugged Xu Li. She glanced at Lusamine, who was eager to show off, and said, "Yes, let's just treat this as a trip to Galar."

Lusamine curled her lips imperceptibly.

Xu Li: “…”
