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

Seeing the Galaxy team's sincere attitude, Xu Li also agreed to the Galaxy team's request.

Magamu remained silent until Xu Li and Xingyue finished discussing the details and left the investigation team office.

It's like a stone statue in the investigation team's office.

Xu Li didn't care and returned to his home in Zhuqing Village.

As soon as he entered the door, a fat figure emerged from Xu Li's shadow.

"Butler Gengar, I'll leave the housework to you." Xu Li said, looking at the dusty living room.

"Kou Jie!", Gengar saluted in a proper manner, and the hands he gained after evolution made cleaning the house even easier.

Gengar is the Pokémon that Xu Li evolved into after defeating Scorpion. After evolving into Haunter and stabilizing its energy for a month, it was evolved again by Xu Li using the Link Rope.

Xu Li’s Gengar is fat and silly, and his big red eyes are full of innocence.

Apart from its love of playing tricks on people, it doesn't seem like a spooky ghost-type Pokémon at all.

Gengar

Attributes: Ghost, Poison

Level: Lv28

Ability: Cursed Body

Moves: Strange Light, Licking Tongue, Song of Destruction, Shadow Fist, Curse, Tile Breaking, Scary Face

Favorability: 90 (family, no need to say more)]

……

The next morning, after breaking free from Fairy Eevee's arms, Xu Li heard a voice from below.

"Ah! Gengar, you are finally back!?" This is Xiaozhao's surprised voice.

It seems Xiaozhao is back too.

Xu Li looked down and saw that Xiao Zhao was sitting on the sofa, teasing Xu Li's Roentgen cat with a piece of dogtail grass.

Mumuxiao next to Xiaozhao was still dozing off.

Unlike Huo Xia's summer attire, Xiao Zhao's attire was more in line with Xu Li's understanding of the temperature, at least he was wearing a cotton coat.

Xu Li's Roentgen cat also cooperated with Xiao Zhao, or rather, was having a great time playing with Xiao Zhao. Its star-like tail kept swinging as its body moved.

It is not as majestic and domineering as the wild Roentgen cats, but is full of playful atmosphere.

【Roentgen cat♀

Attribute: Electric

Level: Lv34

Ability: Intimidate

Moves: Charge, Electromagnetic Wave, Lightning Fang, Crazy Volt, Volt Replacement, Roar, Freeze Fang

Favorability: 89 (I've decided on you)]

Seeing Xu Li coming down, Xiao Zhao immediately threw down the dogtail grass in his hand and looked at Xu Li, which made the Roentgen cat, who could no longer play, look resentful.

"Xu Li, I haven't seen you for four months. I miss you so much," Xiao Zhao looked at Xu Li and said with a smile.

Xu Li also laughed and said, "I missed you too. So, let's have a long-awaited battle so that we can get to know each other better."

"Ah? A battle so early in the morning?" No matter what he said, Xiao Zhao obediently followed Xu Li to the battle venue.

The battle begins.

It would be strange if Xiaozhao sent out a tree with a body like a barrel trunk, holding two bush branches.

"That crybaby is the weird one that evolved, right?"

Hearing this, Shucaigai looked at Xu Li in a serious tone, shaking the shrub in his hand to show that he would no longer cry at every turn.

【The tree is weird♀

Properties: rock

Level: Lv29

Features: Hard head

Moves: Tears, Pounce, Block, Mimic, Slam, Invisible Rock, Stone Attack

Favorability: 70 (I am completely loyal to Xiaozhao!)]

Xu Li sent out Sylveon.

"Bu Yi——"

Fairy Eevee untied the ribbon wrapped around Xu Li's arm and jumped lightly into the battlefield.

Seeing that it was Sylveon, Xiaozhao raised his arm and commanded, "It's the tree that's weird, it's full of tears!"

Yin De Shu Caiguai turned around and looked at Xiao Zhao helplessly. I just said that I wouldn't cry easily, so why did you make me tearful?

He thought so, but tears immediately welled up in the corners of Shucai's eyes, and he looked at Sylveon with tears in his eyes.

"But, tears can reduce the opponent's special attack ability, so you won't get hurt." Xiaozhao explained.

Seeing that Xu Li did not give any instructions, Fairy Eevee understood what Xu Li meant and blinked its big blue eyes.

Accepted the tearful eyes and temporary decrease in special attack ability.

"Then, the tree is weird, sharp stone attack!"

"Hurry up——"

The tree monster yelled, and several rocks appeared out of thin air around its body and attacked Sylveon.

"See through it and get out of the way," Xu Li commanded.

There was a brown light flashing in Fairy Eevee's eyes. The trajectory of the sharp stone was clearly visible to it, and it dodged it by jumping left and right.

Then, “Pray for rain!”

"Bu Yi——"

Fairy Eevee prayed to the sky, and soon, the training ground was covered with dark clouds and drops of water fell.

Sylveon learned how to pray for rain when it was playing on the beach at the Ultramarine Coast. Xu Li was also surprised that Sylveon could learn new moves while playing.

The same thing happened when I was with Xu Li. For no reason, I learned a fairy-type move.

"Hu Shuo?"

The trees looked at the dark clouds above their heads with some repulsion. Their species hated rain the most.

It is strange that trees playing the role of trees in the wild will immediately end their role when it rains and escape to a place where there is no rain.

But now, escape is impossible, it has to fight for Xiaozhao.

"It's the tree that's weird. Please be patient. I'll rush forward and hit you!"

"Huso——!", the tree monster's eyes were full of determination, he picked up a branch and rushed towards Fairy Eevee in the rain.

but.

"Weather balloon!" Xu Li commanded.

Sylveon condensed a sphere above its head that absorbed the surrounding rainwater and smashed it towards the tree monster pressing forward.

"Pfft~"

The water-attributed weather ball hit the tree so hard that it felt chilling all over. Its attack form was also interrupted, and it fell directly to the ground.

"Okay, let's stop here."

As Xu Li said this, Fairy Eevee dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, and the sunlight came in again. At the same time, the ribbon was wrapped around Xu Li's arm again.

Xiaozhao immediately checked the injuries of Eevee. Fortunately, Eevee had reduced its special attack a little, so it was not seriously injured.

He also knew that Xu Li was letting him off the hook, and exclaimed in admiration, "I'm completely under control in front of Teacher Xu Li."

After healing the Tree Pokémon, Xu Li reviewed the situation with Xiao Zhao as usual, "Besides the strength of my own Pokémon, what do you think will win me this battle?"

"A combination of praying for rain and weather balloons?" Xiao Zhao thought about it.

"Yes and no," Xu Li shook his head and continued, "It's my understanding of the other party's Pokémon."

"That's why I used Rain Prayer and Weather Ball, moves that Fairy Eevee doesn't use very often, but can be very effective against your Tree Monster."

"Although this understanding can only serve as icing on the cake, the real decisive factor is still your Pokémon, but we must also understand it."

Xiaozhao nodded seriously, "Then..."

Next, not only Sylph and Sylveon, but Xiaozhao and Xu Li also discussed the tactics and weaknesses used by various Pokémon.

Xiaozhao benefited a lot.

Finally, Xu Li remembered something.

"By the way, you have to go out to the Obsidian Fields with me tomorrow morning."

"Oh?" Xiaozhao made a puzzled sound.

"You are also a member of the investigation team now, right?" Although Xiaozhao has always followed Xu Li, unlike Xu Li who is not a staff member, he still has a regular position in the investigation team.

Xu Li told Xiao Zhao that the Galaxy Team had entrusted him to help them pacify the Forest King.

This caused Xiaozhao to exclaim: "It's actually like this!"

Chapter 64: Initial Reconstruction of the Galaxy Team

In the Obsidian Plains, on a flat ground in front of the Giant Tree Battlefield, Xu Li and Xiao Zhao came here.

This place has been built by Team Galaxy into a base for the operation to pacify the King of the Forest.

Many members of the investigation team were coming in and out of the tents. In the distance, there was a fenced area where their Pokémon were gathered.

The venue is not large, causing the Pokémon to be crowded together and become quite aggressive.

Xu Li felt that they were like animals kept in captivity in the countryside waiting to be slaughtered, rather than Pokémon with human nature.

What caught Xu Li's attention most was that there were several fences in the middle, directly isolating the investigation team members and their Pokémon.

The distance was too far, so only the larger ones could be seen, including giant vines covered in dark blue vines.

The vines on its body were growing in a disorderly manner, and one could see traces of some of the vines being torn off. It didn't care, and its eyes, covered by the vines, were staring blankly at the sky.

There were sea slugs covered in mud, but they were not very active in this sunny weather, and their softened bodies lay limp on the spot.

These two are still mild.

The ones who were not gentle included Haoli, who had two strong arms, and Xu Li's old friend Longlongyan. Their tall bodies collided with each other and their eyes looked at each other.

Even Xu Li, who had just arrived, could see that the two of them disliked each other very much and it seemed like a fight might break out at any time.

But no one seems to care.

Looking up, you can see the huge tree that breaks through the sky in the center of the giant wood battlefield. That is where the king of the forest lingers.

As they entered this area, Xu Li and Xiao Zhao were met by Chuer, the leader of the medical team.

"We have received the notice, and we will obey your orders from now on."

Chu'er, who was wearing a prototype of a modern nurse's uniform from two thousand years ago, smiled and said to Xu Li.

Xu Li's eyes were still observing the camp. When he heard Chu'er's words, he just nodded and said nothing.

To be honest, Xu Li had always worked alone in the past, adding a small photo at most, and had not had much contact with the investigation team.

I didn't expect them to treat Pokémon so roughly.

It seems that the farmers in Zhuqing Village who use Rhythm Stone to plow the fields are better to Pokémon than them.

Although farmers are also afraid of Pokémon, they treat Pokémon very well for the sake of planting efficiency.
