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

The hard soil underneath was exposed, and a big hole appeared in the center where the food originally was!

"I didn't expect it to be true..." Seeing this pit, Xu Li was even stunned for a moment.

Menghuan suddenly showed a surprised expression: "New~!"

"I told you! Mew is not a thief~!"

It happily came to Xu Li, who helped it clear its name, and stretched out its little hand to nudge Xu Li's shoulder in a flattering manner.

Xu Li: “…”

Taking a small amount doesn't count as stealing, right?

He looked back at the deep hole in the middle of the land, which was obviously a tunnel. But the culprit who stole the food was not there yet.

Mewtwo looked at Xu Li with slightly shining eyes, with a hint of admiration in his heart.

It was a problem that puzzled him for a long time.

Xu Li solved the case after just a little thought!

Mewtwo warned himself in his heart: I still need to learn a lot about this man in front of me.

The Pipis looked at the deep pit in the center with resentment.

Someone actually used such a sneaky method to steal their most precious food!

If you really lack food, just ask and the kind-hearted Pipi will definitely help without hesitation, but this is done in a sneaky way... It's so shameful for Pipi!

The Pipis were so angry that they jumped up and down.

Xu Li smiled helplessly: "Mewtwo, put the food back to its original place. This owner will probably come again tonight. When the time comes, I'll ask Mewtwo to keep watch over it."

The noise made by digging such a large hole would definitely be noticed by the Pipi here, but now they are kept in the dark, and it is obvious that it was done late at night.

Mewtwo nodded seriously.

Listening to Xu Li's analysis, a feeling of admiration welled up in my heart again.

When would he be able to be so absorbed in solving a case? Mewtwo pondered this, and somewhat distractedly walked onto the ranger's route to continue patrolling Mount Tsukimi.

If Xu Li knew what Mewtwo was thinking at this moment, he would probably feel a little embarrassed: after all, it was just simple reasoning, and he didn't even need to think much...

late at night.

Xu Li slowly fell asleep in the makeshift tent.

His chest was pressed by Jirachi and Leafmeow, who were also sleeping soundly; next to his head was Sylveon, its cute face rubbing against Xu Li's cheek affectionately, sleeping soundly, its small nose exhaling a scented air stream, which lightly touched Xu Li's cheek.

suddenly.

A Pokémon screamed outside!

Like thunder in the middle of the night, it instantly woke up the nearby Pokémon.

The angry voices of the Pipis rang out one after another. They knew: the culprit who stole the things has been found!

Xu Li, still in a daze from being woken up late at night, walked out slowly holding Sylveon as if he was carrying a pillow, followed by New Leaf Meowth and Jirachi.

Then I saw the Pokémon struggling in front of Mewtwo.

Not a special Pokémon.

It is purple all over, like a monkey, with a pair of big hands extending from its tail, waving them wildly in the air, but it cannot escape Mewtwo's super powers.

But if it weren't for Mewtwo's control, this Pokémon would definitely be overwhelmed by the angry group of Pidgeots below, and the consequences might be even more tragic.

This is the double-tailed monster hand.

When it saw that it could not resist Mewtwo's control, it immediately showed a human-like expression, put its hands in front of its head, and kept begging for mercy.

"Chi, chi, chi..." The voice sounded very aggrieved.

"You have a trainer, right?" Xu Li asked thoughtfully.

The two-tailed monster hesitated and nodded quietly.

……

……

“I’m so sorry!!!”

"We will do our best to make up for the lost food!!!" The young man bowed deeply to the Pipis and Xu Li, and continued in a shameful voice, "I only knew that Otaro brought us food, but I didn't expect it to be obtained in this way!"

Beside him, the two-tailed monster-hand also bowed properly, with an expression that seemed to indicate that he admitted his mistake but would make the same mistake again next time.

Xu Li looked at the young man in front of him thoughtfully and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ajin." The boy said, "My name is Ajin!"

As expected. It was this Ajin, known as the 'hatcher'.

Xu Li pondered inwardly and said helplessly, "Alright, since you are so sincere, you don't have to rush to return the food, but you must return it to the right place. The Pipis have been waiting for you at Yuejian Mountain."

"We will definitely pay it back!" Jin shouted, bowing again. "Thank you very much!"

"Why did you come to this place?" Xu Li asked curiously after Ah Jin had explained his situation. "There's no food at all."

"Well... we came here to search for the 'incarnation of the north wind'!" Jin said, "But, but on the way, there was an earthquake and we were trapped in Yuemian Mountain! If it weren't for Otaro's food..."

Xu Li was stunned.

Earthquake?

Could it be the sound of Mewtwo fighting with Rayquaza?

Xu Li felt a little embarrassed, but his face showed no expression: "The incarnation of the north wind? Suicune? Is it here?"

Ajin nodded. "Yes! Not only the incarnation of the north wind, but also the other Pokémon of the Wind Guard—Entei and Raikou—seem to be nearby! I was entrusted by them to protect Suicune!"

"They seem to be heading west towards the Galar region, but there seemed to be a lot of movement at Tsukimiyama a while ago, so Suicune stayed there for a while."

Xu Li: “…”

How you feel is related to yourself.

And the Galar region? I don't know why the Wind Guard is heading there, but I'll probably run into them someday. After all, the Pokémon Masters World Championship is held there.

He nodded slightly: "Okay."

Farewell to Ajin.

Xu Li didn't bother with Suicune, after all, it had nothing to do with him. However, he planned to stay in Yuejian Mountain for a few more days to teach Mewtwo to at least have a normal mind.

But unexpectedly, after just a few days...

Suicune appeared in front of Xu Li.

In the rare pool of water on Mount Yuejian, mist was lingering. Suicune stood on the water surface, sucking up the rare filth in the pool, then turned his head to look at Xu Li, who was holding New Leaf Cat on the shore and intending to come here to clean New Leaf Cat.

"Woo..." Shui Jun stared at Xu Li with his head motionless.

His lean body was covered in a refreshing pale blue, and behind his head, like a jeweled crown, his flowing purple mane moved in the wind.

I have to say, no matter how embarrassed he becomes in the future, at least Suicune still looks good.

"Meow~?" Xinye Miao tilted her head slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Li looked at Suicune puzzledly, "If you don't want to tell me, can you please not disturb me while I'm giving New Leaf a bath?"

Suicune was stunned for a moment and silently made way.

As usual, Xu Li soaked Leafcat in water, squeezed out some fresh-smelling Pokémon-specific shower gel, and applied it all over Leafcat's body, letting it struggle and paddle in the water.

After being purified by Water God, the water here is extremely clear. Xu Li has to thank Water God for this.

However, cleaning the New Leaf Cat inevitably caused further contamination. Furthermore, because the New Leaf Cat often rolled around in the mud, Xu Li had to bathe it frequently, which resulted in a lot of mud and sand being rubbed out.

So, while Xu Li was cleaning the pollution caused by the New Leaf Cat, Suicune was silently absorbing these substances.

The embodiment of the north wind, it shoulders the responsibility of purifying dirty and muddy water.

It's not dirty though.

Soon, New Leaf Cat was brand new again.

"Meow~!" Xinye Cat shook its small body happily, and as it walked, it left small water-stained cat paw prints on the stones beside the pond.

Suicune hasn't left yet.

Xu Li turned and looked at Suicune.

Suicune was still staring at Xu Li.

"..."

a long time.

Xu Li asked helplessly: "What on earth do you want to do..."

After a moment of silence, Suicune hesitantly called out.

"Woo..."

"You smell like that person..."

Xu Li was stunned: "Who?"

"Woo..."

"Phoenix King?" Xu Li was puzzled. "How can I smell like it?"

"Oh." After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized and dug out a handful of crushed Wind King feathers from the corner of his backpack. "Are you talking about this?"

Suicune was stunned when he saw the feathers of the Ho-oh that were bent like a mountain phoenix. He looked at Xu Li who took out the feathers and waved them casually.

Its eyes almost popped out.

No!

Is this how a hero recognized by the Phoenix King treats its feathers?!

And, how much?!

Looking at the handful of Phoenix King feathers in Xu Li's hand.

Suicune's brain almost crashed for a moment.

How can there be so many?!

Doesn’t that gentleman have a bald spot on his body?!

Chapter 206: Shameful Suicune and Shiyu!

Legend has it that a Pokémon trainer who is gifted with "Rainbow Feathers" by the Phoenix King, after passing the test of the three sacred beasts of the Phoenix King's guard, will eventually meet the Phoenix King and become the "Rainbow Hero".

Xu Li knew: Xiaozhi was the 'Rainbow Hero'. But he shouldn't be, and didn't want to be.

After all, the batch of Phoenix King feathers in his hand were plucked from Liu Bo, not given by the Phoenix King.

So when Suicune hesitated and proposed to test Ho-Oh, Xu Li refused without a second thought. Not only was it troublesome, but Xu Li was also afraid that Ho-Oh would not dare to see him.

"Woo..." Shui Jun was even a little bit surprised when he heard the rejection. His azure eyes stared at Xu Li blankly.

"That's about it, so I won't be taking part in the Rainbow Trial." Xu Lipa paused, explained, picked up New Leaf Meow, and shook off the water stains. He asked casually, "I heard that your Ho-Oh Guard wants to go to Galar. What are you going there for?"

Hearing Xu Li's question, Shui Jun shook his head in confusion, "Wu..."

It didn't know its purpose for going to the Galar region, it just knew it had to go.

"Okay..." Xu Li shrugged. Seeing that Suicune was still looking at him, he said helplessly, "Then why don't you go to Galar? I'll be leaving first. Bye."

After saying that, he took a sip of the soft belly of the new leaf cat in his arms that exuded the fresh smell of grass, letting it meow coquettishly, and then Xu Li left.

Shui Jun could only stare blankly at Xu Li's departing back.

This is the first time it has been rejected like this...

Now I still feel a little bit unbelievable.

However, Pokémon Trainers accompanied by the "Rainbow Feathers" will definitely encounter the Ho-Oh Guard again.

Suicune knew that they would meet again.

After standing there for a long time, Suicune's body slowly moved and turned to the west.
