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

Xu Li nodded without saying anything.

Looking around, the air was filled with the chirping sounds of various Pokémon expressing various emotions.

In this situation, the three pink incense burners rescued by Xu Li all came close to Xu Li's cheek, and looked at the surrounding situation timidly. In comparison, Xu Li, who rescued them, made them feel closer.

I caressed the three pink, fragrant heads with amusement, sniffing their faint fragrance, slightly sweet with a hint of earthiness and bitterness. Although it was still pleasant, it did lack some of its charm.

It is said that the fragrance of the powdery fragrant changes according to what they eat. And this fragrance, and Xu Li can't smell the composition of this fragrance, can be seen that the food they eat is bad.

Looking at the Pokémon being released around him, their messy physical condition and frightened mental state, Xu Li sighed and took out energy cubes one by one to carry out his own responsibility of comforting them.

Looking at Xu Li's comforting figure, Karuna couldn't help but smile, "I'll help too."

Four and a half hours later.

The Alliance personnel finally arrived and stood above the entrance of the Flare Team base.

Xu Li and Karuna had already led the Pokémon here.

Two fluffy puffs were wrapped around Xu Li's feet, already asleep, like two white furry shoes. However, the three pink and fragrant ones were still energetic, chirping around Xu Li.

"It's finally here. Isn't your alliance too slow?" Xu Li let out a breath and complained.

"Thank you for your hard work in keeping me here." Karuna smiled embarrassedly, pursed her lips and nodded at Xu Li before stepping forward to connect with the alliance.

Soon.

The Pokémon here were transported away in batches by the alliance members one after another.

Karuna smiled slightly as she approached Xu Li, who was about to leave, and placed the Rotom phone in the air.

"Xu Li, I forgot to mention this before. Let's add Rotom as our friend. After all, it's not convenient to always rely on Zhulan to communicate," she said, then added, "I need you to send me the previous information about Rotom, too."

"There may be some other information that we need to exchange."

Chapter 193: Xi Jiana: I’m not as shameless as you!!

Looking at Kalno's smiling and unyielding eyes, Xu Li added her, knowing she was just a Rotom communication friend.

Then came the farewells.

After all, Karen also had to keep track of and handle the rescued Pokémon. She also had to deal with the aftermath of Team Flare, so she had a lot to do.

Xu Li brought two cotton shoes, three chirping birds, and three Lala algae that stubbornly followed Xu Li, spewing poisonous gray-purple water at the alliance members in the water tank.

Take the Yveltal and return to the city of Sala.

Because the alliance members arrived too late, the stars in the sky were already twinkling. The night was clear and dust-free, and the moonlight was as silver. Looking at the peaceful scenery, Xu Li couldn't help but yawn.

But it's so late.

The lights in the Sara City Gymnasium were still brightly lit.

However, Xu Li did not see the gym leader, Korni, and his grandfather, Cocobul, nor did he see Shijiana and Diancie. After asking the gym apprentices, he learned that they were in the Refining Tower.

……

This is a tall stone tower similar to a castle.

This is the birthplace of Carlos's Mega Evolution method, and it still attracts trainers who have a keen interest in Mega Evolution, who come here specifically to visit and seek advice.

"Mega Evolution isn't something everyone can learn!" Cocobul said proudly. "That guy, Bratano, used to hang out here when he was younger, but he couldn't seem to learn how to Mega Evolve."

“So in the end he just left with his head hung!”

"This matter became Bratano's obsession, which is why he chose 'mega evolution' as his research direction."

"Although he's certainly achieved a lot of results... like discovering the mega forms of many Pokémon," Kokobul nodded, then laughed, "But he still can't Mega Evolve himself!"

"Xu Li, would you like me to teach you some techniques on super evolution?"

"Mega evolution is a product of emotion. Even though Blatano is kind to his Pokémon, he can't understand feelings and can't awaken the deepest power of Pokémon."

Diancie, who had been holding on to Xu Li's clothes tightly since Xu Li entered the Refining Tower, blinked his eyes and looked at Xu Li in a daze while listening to Cocobul's words.

Can't feel...emotions with Pokémon? Is this why Xu Li can't Mega Evolve with it?

Is it that he can't feel Diancie's emotions, or...

"Don't overthink it." Feeling Diancie's uneasiness, Xu Li rubbed its cute head and continued, "You should use your energy to speed up the production of Yongjie diamonds."

"Chami!" The little diamond minister behind nodded in agreement.

That's right! That's it!

Seeing that Xu Li led Princess Diancie onto the right path, he prevented the princess from being too greedy for the beauty of the outside world.

The Minister of Small Diamonds strongly agreed with this!

Then I heard Xu Li say, "Wouldn't this way you can see me again soon?"

Diancie perked up instantly, her ruby ​​eyes sparkling as she nodded happily, like a little girl who had received a promise.

"Okay! Diancie will try her best to see Xu Li again!"

In response to this, the Minister of Small Diamonds' face suddenly fell.

It's bad. The princess of our mining country has been kidnapped by humans from outside... and judging by the situation, it seems that she will have difficulty coming back.

Although the Minister of Small Diamonds had no objections in his heart, but...

My heart just feels uncomfortable!

This is the little diamond princess that it watched grow up!

Diancie didn't pay attention to the expression of the Diamond Minister beside her changing several times. After all, this situation had happened many times.

Together with Xu Li, it turned to look at the fighting stage in the center.

There was a battle going on there. It was between Shijiana and Korne, and it was also a battle between Mega Dragonite and Mega Lucario.

It's almost the end now.

Facing the repeated flames of Mega Dragonite, Mega Lucario, with burns and scars all over his body, still had an unyielding light in his eyes. After launching several sure-hit wave missiles, he finally found Mega Dragonite's weakness.

Roar!

With steel spikes, Mega Lucario's sandbag-sized fist was suddenly covered with icy blue cold air. It suddenly jumped in front of Dragonite's head and chopped it down fiercely from top to bottom!

In the previous battle, Mega Dragonite had accumulated a lot of injuries on its body. As long as Mega Lucario gathered all his strength and super-restrained the opponent's freezing punch, he would definitely win the battle!

Korni's eyes flashed with the terrifying light of a battle maniac.

on the contrary.

"It happened!"

Xi Jiana on the opposite side widened her eyes and was shocked, but it was too late to dodge. She could only hurriedly shout, "Spray the flames directly!"

Faced with Mega Lucario's freezing fist, Mega Dragonite could only hastily spit out a ball of fire from its mouth, but the fire was still very large.

Bang!

The collision of ice and fire caused steam to hiss on the ground, but this did not prevent Xu Li from seeing the body of the Super Dragonite being beaten and wailing.

But he still had the strength to wail, indicating that he could still fight and had not lost his ability to fight.

The Lucario on the other side, after the Mega Dragonite's flames dissipated, stumbled to the ground, unable to even maintain its Mega Evolution. The Frozen Punch just now was its last, all-out attack after its stamina was exhausted.

Ultimately, the descendants of the Meteor Clan possessed a superior mastery of Mega Evolution. Furthermore, Mega Dragonite held a significant advantage over Mega Lucario in terms of attributes and abilities.

Korni was stunned for a moment, then after accepting the situation, the look in her eyes slowly faded away. She quickly raised her hand and shouted, "Stop, I give up, Miss Xijiana."

Facing victory, Xijiana exclaimed!

After handing the Tyrannosaurus over to the healer inside the Refining Tower, she ran to Xu Li as soon as she left the scene.

As if seeking praise, he said, "How about my Mega Dragonite? Isn't it majestic?"

Xu Li: “…”

I'm sorry I only saw your Dragonite getting beaten up by the Frozen Fist.

But looking at Xijiana's eyes.

Xu Li still didn't attack her.

Smiling, he stroked Xijiana's short black hair as if she were a puppy and said, "Great!"

"Hmph!" Xijiana puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away. "Such fake praise!"

"Is it fake?" Xu Li said, "Well, I'm sorry. I'll try to be more genuine next time."

Xijiana: “…”

I'm so angry that my nipples hurt!

"Hmph!" She was about to hum again!

……

the next day.

Xu Li yawned and was pulled by Xi Jiana to a cave entrance.

"I've asked around! This is the most secret magical cave in Sala City." She said mysteriously, "Mirror Cave!"

"It's said that there are mirrors everywhere. After reflecting your image, the 'you' in the mirror will call you to fight!"

Xu Li: “…”

Where did you hear this rumor?

But seeing Xi Jiana's excitement, Xu Li had no choice but to follow her lead. She grabbed him and rushed straight into the cave.

At first, this place is no different from an ordinary cave, but after going two levels deeper, it gradually becomes more like its name.

The surrounding rock walls gradually revealed a mirror-like luster. Because of their uneven surface, they reflected the objects on the opposite side in distorted or crystal-clear ways.

Xijiana curiously tapped the distorted image of herself in the mirror and asked, "Are you there?"

"Don't you want to fight? Come and fight me..."

After a while, Xi Jiana knocked on the mirror, trying to communicate with herself in vain, and complained, "Sure enough, these rumors are not credible!"

Xu Li: “…”

You know it's just a rumor, right?

But looking at Xi Jiana's lost face, Xu Li said jokingly: "You should knock a few more times."

"Yes!" Xi Jiana suddenly realized

"I just tried a mirror, how can I tell?"

So Xijiana tried one side, two sides, three sides, five sides, ten sides...

Xu Li could only follow Xi Jiana helplessly, sighing at her persistence.

As she knocked along the ground, the mirror became smoother and smoother, but Xijiana's attempts were all in vain.

She snorted, "You're lying! Just like Xu Li!"

Xu Li: “…”

He just thought it was Xijiana's angry nonsense.

Xu Li looked around curiously, letting Rotom snap a few photos. Mirrors reflected the surroundings everywhere. This landscape was one of the most unique, even in the Pokémon world.

Take a photo before leaving, it’s worth it to come here.

At this moment, Xi Jiana shouted, "Huh? What is this?"

"Be careful." Xu Li said, but when he turned around, he saw Xi Jiana running towards a glittering object in the distance. Not long after, he heard her puzzled voice: "Is it a mirror?"

"No, you idiot, how can you just pick up something you don't understand."

"Um...what?! I'm not stupid! Xu Li, you're too cautious!" Xi Jiana said angrily, "It's just an ordinary mirror. Maybe someone accidentally left it behind."

"Look to your left." Xu Li said.

"Ok?"

Xijiana didn't understand, but still looked to the left as Xu Li said.

To her left was a mirrored wall, and the reflection of Xijiana was smiling, and everything seemed normal.
