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

Xu Li covered his head. What I meant by physical training was to be able to evade the opponent's skills and assist from the side, but Mingyao just fought directly by himself.

In reality, there is no such thing as being able to withstand the fierce attacks of Pokémon without dying like in the game.

There is also the giant vine trimmer. Although the sticky balls he throws have a shockingly low hit rate, the giant vines are also very easy to be hit due to their huge size.

But the giant vine fought on despite being covered in sticky balls, and eventually made it into the semi-finals, where it was unfortunately defeated by Xiao Zhao.

The final was a showdown between Xiaozhao and Mingyao, and the two protagonists in the game really showed their brilliance.

Mingyao still sent out Haoli, while Xiaozhao unexpectedly sent out the unevolved Mumuxiao.

However, the Flying-type Owl, who flies in the sky and has short arms and lacks long-range moves, is indeed a perfect counter to the Fighting-type Hao Li.

"Gu——!"

Mumuxiao, flying on the field, raised his chest and said, "It's finally time for me to take action!"

"Houli! We have to work hard too!"

Mingyao also encouraged Haoli beside him.

"Hou——"

The game officially begins.

"Air Blade!" Xiaozhao launched an attack.

The owl in the air turned its wings and swung out several wind blades, heading straight for Hao Li's body.

At the same time, Xiaozhao shook, found the angle, and threw sticky balls at Haoli.

But Haoli's strong body showed an unnatural agility. With the help of Mingyao's push, he dodged sideways and rolled, directly dodging the sticky balls and air blades.

Then, Mingyao picked up the sticky ball, tilted his upper body back, aimed at Owl like a fully drawn bow, and then threw the Poké Ball with force.

This was repeated several times.

Mumuxiao saw that this was exactly the same posture as when Xu Li hit his Poké Ball, and was so scared that he dodged quickly. After dodging several times, he narrowly avoided Mingyao's sticky ball.

"Goo~"

Dodging the sticky balls this time made Mumu Xiao abnormally swell up for a while. Cuckoo, cuckoo, this owl is no longer the same Mumu Xiao.

"Get out of the way! Mumuxiao."

Another sticky ball hit him. Awakened by Xiaozhao's shouting, Mumuxiao dodged quickly, but his wings were still stuck, causing his flight to be a little shaky.

See there is an opportunity.

"Now's the time to split the tiles!"

Hearing Mingyao's command, Haoli jumped high, with the end of his arm in the shape of a knife, and slashed towards Mumuxiao.

But Mumu Xiao took off in an emergency, and the force of the sticky balls on his body was still affected, and he missed the target by a hair's breadth when trying to split the tiles.

The following games gradually became dull.

The already focused Mumuxiao occupied the sky, repeatedly dodging Mingyao's sticky balls. However, Haoli, who had accumulated a lot of sticky balls on his body, was hindered in his movements and could not catch the slippery Xiaozhao on the ground.

Mingyao and Haoli gradually accumulated disadvantages, but even so, they were still struggling to find opportunities to win.

Unfortunately, Mumu Xiao’s restraint on Hao Li was too severe.

No accidents occurred.

Under the last air blade of Owl, Goryeo lost his strength.

Xiaozhao wins.

Chapter 66: To pacify the Axe Mantis and Bei Shang?

Xu Li looked at the result of the competition and was not surprised. After all, Xiaozhao was trained by him.

After watching the entire game, Xu Li felt that his efforts during this period were not in vain, and he could try to pacify the mantis again.

So, three days later, Xu Li arrived and began his second operation to pacify the Axe Mantis.

This time it was no longer almost the entire investigation team that went together, but Xu Li selected people based on their performance in the competition to appease the crowd.

Mingyao and Xiaozhao will naturally join the battle.

In addition, there are five other contestants. They either throw their Pokémon well or have strong bonds with Pokémon, which makes Xu Li believe that they can withstand the pressure of Axe Mantis.

The trainer of Gigantamax was also among them, but Xu Li forbad him to throw away the treasure, and he only needed to command Gigantamax to fight.

As the summoning flute of Team Pearl's captain, Kikui, who was in charge of taking care of the Axe Mantis, sounded, a furious Axe Mantis bathed in golden light emerged from the giant tree battlefield.

"The action begins!"

Xu Li announced, with Greatsword Demon and Wind Hound following him as a backup.

There is naturally no need to talk about morality when facing the violent axe mantis.

The contestants were already ready for the battle, holding the treasure in their hands, and after starting to move, they kept hitting the Axe Mantis.

Xiaozhao took the octopus barrel launcher given by Xu Li and blinded the Axe Mantis.

However, the most eye-catching person on the field was Mingyao. With the unlimited firing rights given by Xu Li, he stood next to the treasure storage point, swinging his two strong arms like Hot Wheels, and the treasure was fired non-stop.

If ordinary people are pistols, then Mingyao is a Gatling gun, who will not stop until he has smashed the Axe Mantis into stiffness.

Soon, in this violent storm that was not sure whether to kill it or wake it up, the entire giant tree battlefield was filled with the smell of treasure.

The axe mantis was also overwhelmed by its favorite taste and regained a bit of rationality.

"Now is the time to launch an attack with your Pokémon!"

Xu Li shouted and gave orders.

Several white lights flashed, and seven Pokémon appeared on the Giant Tree Battlefield: Troll, Gouriki, Giganta, Raccoon, Golduck, Tonguet, and the newly evolved Forkbat.

For a moment, colorful skills and moves hit the stiff Axe Mantis, causing it to roar quickly, and the invisible pressure of the king covered it.

But the pressure that had been so effective against Team Galaxy in the past was no longer effective now.

Most of the Pokémon present were dazed for a moment, but when they remembered that their trainers were behind them, they looked at Axemantis with determined eyes and regrouped their moves.

Only Toothless was a little scared at that moment and took a few steps back, but seeing that other Pokémon were fighting, and remembering the care his trainer had given him in the past half month, he mustered up the courage to stand up again and rolled directly towards Axemantis.

Finally, under the sharp stone attack of the tree monster, the axe mantis could no longer hold on and fell down.

The golden light on his body began to dissipate.

In less than a moment, it turned into a normal axe mantis.

Axe-splitting mantis, successfully pacified!

Excited cheers erupted both inside and outside the Giant Tree battlefield.

"Finally, we've pacified the King of the Forest. Woohoo! These four months of stationing here are finally over! Thank you, Master Xu Li!"

This is the female trainer of Xbat. She hugged the happy Xbat and cheered.

This is also the portrayal of most members of the Galaxy team.

At the same time, Xu Li also received a prompt from the system.

[The Dawn of Washing Green phase mission is completed - pacify the king of the forest]

Completion Reward: Blessing of the Sinnoh Lord

It was still the same reward. Xu Li had used the blessing of Sinnoh Lord that he had obtained from pacifying Arcanine last time on the baby bear.

This time, Xu Li planned to give Lily Root a doll.

There is also loot from the loot system.

[Energy Cube XL] [Move Learning Machine: Rock Axe] [Hard Stone Extreme]

【Hard Stone Extreme】

[An indestructible, incredibly hard stone that will never crack. Carrying it significantly increases the power of the rock attribute.]

[Special Usage: Hide this item deep beneath the rock layer underground. A corresponding rocky landform will gradually form on the ground based on the environment. At the same time, the rock attribute energy in the area will gradually increase.]

Buried under the rock? It would take at least a few hundred meters to penetrate the rock, right? None of Xu Li's Pokémon are good at digging holes...

It would be better to let Zhulan's Liebite Land Shark come.

Alas, Xu Li sighed and put the Hard Stone Extreme Armor on the newly made shawl on Windspeed Dog's chest.

Now, Arcanine has two items: Hard Stone Extreme and Charcoal Extreme.

Inside the giant tree battlefield, the unruly and violent Axe Mantis seemed unable to bear the fact that it was pacified after its rage. It left a green stone slab in its place and disappeared.

This stone slab naturally belongs to Xu Li, who has the priority to choose.

【Jade Insect Slate】

Arceus' Bug Tablet grants Arceus the power of Bug attributes. When carried by a Pokémon, Bug-attribute moves become more powerful.

After successfully pacifying the enemy, Team Galaxy began to pack up and head back home.

On the way back, the happy members of Team Galaxy had already started discussing how to continue the Pokémon Coordination Stage event in the Celebration Village.

Some people also asked Xu Li for his opinion.

Xu Li naturally wanted Team Galaxy to continue holding such events. After all, it could inspire people's enthusiasm for Pokémon, so he made a few suggestions.

For example, let the villagers and farmers of Zhuqing Village participate. At the same time, Xu Li also put forward some ideas about future Pokémon Contests.

Ranchu nodded repeatedly and said that he wanted to be a judge of the Pokémon Contest.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The news that Xu Li led the Galaxy Team members to pacify the Axe Mantis in just one month without taking any action himself quickly spread to Zhuqing Village and the Galaxy Team.

Xingyue, who was busy and exhausted in the investigation team's office, breathed a sigh of relief and thought about the advice Xu Li had given her before.

And Dr. Laben was cheering.

"I knew Xu Li could do it!!"

In the office on the third floor of Team Galaxy's headquarters, a man sat at his desk in silence, as if recalling the ideas Xu Li had shared with Xingyue and Dr. Laben, as well as the scene when he rushed in to refute them.

There were several pieces of paper scattered on the table, describing the news of Xu Li pacifying the Axe Mantis and what Xu Li did during this period.

After a moment, the man picked up the paper that recorded Xu Li's actions and read it carefully again.

The news that Xu Li had pacified the Axe Mantis gradually spread, and everyone who was paying attention to the news in this regard knew about it.

The trainer's philosophy also spread with the pacification of Axe Mantis.

It will also dispel the rumors that have caused Xingyue so much trouble.

With his successive achievements in pacifying the Queen of Mountain Road, the King of Island, and the King of Forest, as well as the encouragement of a certain person, many people who believe in the Great Lord Shenao feel that Xu Li is the chosen one sent by the Great Lord Shenao.

He is the chosen one to calm the raging Sinnoh Grand Emissaries.

One day later, in the pure white permafrost, inside the pearl settlement.

The captain of the Pearl Team, even in the cold wind, still wore cool pearls and read the latest news.

She thought of her master who was responsible for taking care of the Ice Rock Monster, the king of the snowfield, who seemed to be in great pain every day, and her sister and mother, Guana, who had given Xu Li very positive comments. Her eyes were firm.

"Xu Li...We need him."

He then prepared to set out in person to look for Xu Li.

But what Zhu Bei didn't expect was that Xu Li, whom she wanted to find, was found by someone else.

We are both members of the Pearl Team.

……

bang bang bang-

A day after returning to Zhuqing Village to deal with various matters, early in the morning, there was a knock on Xu Li's door.

Xu Li was a little confused after getting up from Sylveon. Hadn't he already dealt with all the things? Why was someone still looking for him?

I opened the door reluctantly, only to see a man outside wearing a tattered navy coat. Under the brim of his tough navy hat were a pair of bright eyes.

"I'm so sorry for being so rude this morning. I'm Bei Shang, the field manager."
