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

……

Zi Yu waved goodbye to Xu Li.

But a few days later, they met again.

Blueberry Academy, a recently established school and sister school to Padilla Grape Academy, possesses the technology to control the Tai Crystal mechanism, even within the Unova region.

At this time, at the Blueberry Academy Port, a group of four people were standing here.

Zi Yu put on the Grape Academy uniform and silently patted the positive and negative charges beside him to clean up.

"Damn it, who hasn't come yet? We've been waiting for him for so long!" complained the tall girl with a yellow headband and loose black hair.

"Danyu!" The blonde teacher stopped her from speaking. "I understand your eagerness to return to your hometown, but..."

"Teacher Bai Leya, am I wrong?" Danyu interrupted angrily, "Even if you are a teacher, you can't be late..."

"The teacher who hasn't arrived yet is from another college... It's not like we can get to Blueberry College all at once." Zi Yu, who is a member of the alliance club with Danyu, tried to comfort Danyu.

"Hmph!" Danyu puffed up her cheeks and looked at the introverted boy next to her. "Wuli, stand up straight! When that teacher comes, I will definitely question him! I will also challenge him to see if he has the strength..."

But before she could finish, the sound of surging waves suddenly came from the sea in the distance, as if something was sliding violently on the sea.

Hua Hua Hua——

A voice came: "Sorry...I'm late..."

Bai Leiya breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing a man with a strange steel motorcycle lizard being walked up, she said to everyone, "Let me formally introduce you. This is Xu Li, the other teacher leading the Beishang Township summer camp from Padiya Grape Academy."

"Hello everyone." Xu Li explained with a smile, "I'm sorry for being late. It's mainly because picking up this child took me a while..."

Beside Xu Li, Diancie, who looked like a blooming brilliant diamond, bowed shyly to everyone.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

But most people present were stunned by Diancie's stunning and adorable appearance, and there was no reason not to forgive her apology.

However, Zi Yu, who loves cute Pokémon the most, was not paying attention to Diancie. She looked at the man next to Diancie - Xu Li - with a dull look in disbelief.

"Huh?!" Zi Yu cried out unconsciously, his head was a little confused for a moment, and he was struggling to speak, "You, you..."

"Hehe!" Seeing Zi Yu's stunned expression, Xu Li laughed without hesitation, "After not seeing each other for a few days, Zi Yu, you don't recognize me?"

"No, you..."

"I may not have told you, Ziyu, that I have a relatively leisurely job..." Xu Li said with a smile, "I'm a teacher at Grape Academy."

"what?!"

……

Board the boat to Beishang Township.

Zi Yu was confused for a while before she gradually accepted everything. But she still couldn't believe that her friend had suddenly become a teacher.

"The purpose of our trip to Beishang Township this time," Bai Leiya said to the students as she sat next to Xu Li, "is because energy similar to Tai Crystallization was discovered there. I will lead the team to investigate the cause of the energy there. If we can..."

She spoke for a long time before stopping, "Teacher Xu Li, do you have anything to say?"

"I am responsible for your safety this time. If you encounter special situations, don't be stingy with the distress signals in your hands." Xu Li said slowly.

"Hmph!" An inexplicable crisp hum sounded, and Xu Li looked at Danyu strangely.

I don't understand why she is so hostile to me.

Seeing Xu Li's strange look, Danyu puffed up her cheeks and retorted, "How could my hometown be in danger!"

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I mean if."

……

The ship is sailing slowly.

The summer camp group seemed a little quiet.

Zi Yu sat on Xu Li's other side, his eyes meeting Diancie's with sparkling. His attention had been drawn to Xu Li before, but now he noticed how beautiful Diancie was...

Bai Leya was quietly discussing the things in the "Book of Vermilion" and "Area Zero" with Xu Li.

When she learned that Xu Li had experience going deep into the lowest zone, Area Zero, she seemed very interested.

But soon, after the ship docked, there was a pause in the hold.

Their destination, Beishang Township, arrived.

Bai Leiya reluctantly stopped talking to Xu Li and organized the students to disembark. Xu Li was the last to leave the ship and step onto the softer soil of Beishang Township.

When we arrived, dusk was almost over. Only a faint brown light shone obliquely through the trees on both sides, dividing the dirt road into two areas of dimness and darkness.

rustling --

The sound of fallen leaves being stepped on continued to be heard.

Danyu led the way and took them to Cuilv Town, the only town in Beishang Township.

The place where they landed was in the east of Beishang Township, which was quite far from Cuilv Town and required them to pass through many areas.

Slowly, as they passed an unknown area, they seemed to hear light footsteps behind the crowd.

Xu Li shook his head slightly at the shadow.

The crowd continued walking.

As we walked, Danyu could be heard describing the characteristics of Beishang Township: "There's a Baoban Square in Cuilv Town!"

Zi Yu asked doubtfully, "Bao Ban?"

"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a very scary evil spirit in Beishang Township. One day, for unknown reasons, the evil spirit came down the mountain and seemed to want to attack the villagers."

Danyu said hesitantly, "There are three Pokémon in the village who drove the ghosts back to the mountains and sacrificed their lives in doing so. Therefore, we affectionately call them Pokémon. The Pokémon Square is where they are buried. We established the Pokémon Square to commemorate them."

"The story seems to be like this." Danyu said, "Well! We're here at Cuilv Town!"

What came into view was a modern town compared to the primitive landscape of Beishang Township.

While Bai Leya Danyu and the others were communicating with the bald administrator in charge of reception.

Xu Li turned around and glanced at a large rock behind him imperceptibly, then walked straight towards it.

"Bo, Boni oh..."

Behind the stone, what caught Xu Li's eye was a Pokémon wearing a green cloak and a green ghost mask.

When it saw Xu Li sticking his head out, it trembled all over and tried to turn around quickly.

But as soon as it turned...

"Kou Jie~!"

Gengar jumped out and greeted, looking quite scary under the illumination of the three fluorescent mushrooms on his head.

"Bobo, Bobo, Bobo, Boo..."

The evil ghost was frightened and babbled incoherently. He tripped and fell headfirst in front of Xu Li.

Xu Li: “…”

Gengar seemed very surprised, pointing at himself in disbelief: "Kou, Koujie..."

I'm so scary?!

Chapter 219: Er Guiyan: Can you be my friend...

Under the cover of night, a green figure lay under the stones on the road beside this green town.

"Bo, Boni oh..."

Ergui's voice sounded a little panicked.

It realized that the green grass mask covering its face, which gave it a sense of security, had fallen to the ground because of its fall! It fell more than a meter in front of it!

The cute orange-yellow face was clearly revealed on Xu Li's face, and his star-like eyes looked flustered and timid.

Erguiyan frantically got up and tried to pick up the mask, but his footing stumbled and he tripped, hitting his head on the ground again, nearly crying.

Xu Li: “…”

This evil creature doesn't seem to be very smart.

He took a few steps, bent down to pick up the mask that looked like a demon, and gently handed it to the evil ghost who raised his head pitifully.

"Here you are." Xu Li said, "I came to see you because I want to make friends with you. There's no need to panic..."

"Boni-oh..."

In a panic, Erguiyan quickly picked up the mask. His head was a little pale and he didn't analyze Xu Li's words. There was only one thought in his mind, which was to run out.

"It ran away..." Xu Li was stunned for a moment, watching the back of the elusive ghost hurriedly fleeing, and then smiled helplessly. He looked at Gengar and said, "It's all your fault. You scared it."

Gengar pointed at himself in disbelief: "Kou, Kou Jie?!"

Am I really that scary?!

Gengar was a little unconvinced.

……

After running a long way, Erguiyan finally stopped.

He lowered his head in disbelief, looked at the mask that Xu Li had gently handed to him, and recalled Xu Li's words.

"Bonioh?!"

That human, it seems, wants to be friends with me...

The starry eyes of the evil spirit blinked, and then suddenly widened.

——He said he wanted to be friends with me!

But I ran away!

Erguiyan's original fear of strangers instantly turned into helplessness for having let down his "friend".

It lowered its head, breathing slightly due to the intense running just now. It stared blankly at the green grass mask that had fallen to the ground and was covered with dust. Its eyes were slightly dim.

After a while.

On the stone by the side of the road just now.

Eruption stood tall, breathing heavily, and looked around anxiously, but did not see any trace of the human being.

"Boni-oh..."

It lowered its head in disappointment.

But he found that in the corner where the stone was hidden, there was something that was not there before, a somewhat exquisite package.

Erguiyan held out his hand blankly, and there was a piece of paper hanging around his neck, with a line of words written on it: [A gift for Erguiyan]

Erguiyan cannot recognize words and cannot understand.

But it understood the simple drawing next to the word. It was a picture of that human and Gengar taking out a cube-like food to feed the frightened demon who fell down, his mask fell off, and was extremely panicked.

"Bo, Boni oh..."

Is this for me... Erguiyan blinked in disbelief, then carefully opened the package, revealing a number of delicate blue cubes.

Is it food?

Eruption tentatively took out an energy cube and put it in his mouth.

"Booo ...

……

the next day.

In the center of Cuilv Town, in front of the community center where Blueberry Academy arranged for students to rest, the students of this summer camp gathered. Not only were Danyu and Ziyu, who had come with Xu Li yesterday, present, but also several other students from Blueberry Academy who had arrived earlier.

After checking the gift he had given to Ergui Yan last night, Xu Li slowly returned and saw Bai Leya giving an opening speech. "...This Beishang Township summer camp, while having research as a purpose, the most important thing is that the students have fun!"

"The content for this summer camp will be arranged by me, an old man familiar with Beishang Township." The bald administrator of the community center slowly walked out, maintaining a smile. "As for the content, it happens to be harvest season in Beishang Township... Our farmland and apple fields need your help..."

"And we will also treat you well during the Masked Face Festival in three days with this bountiful harvest obtained with your help!"

In short, they're making students do farm work under the guise of 'summer camp,' using their labor for free...
