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

"So! I want to return to my goal as a battle leader. I want to promote Pokémon battles in this world as well!"

"A wonderful battle, a collaboration between humans and Pokémon! If only Pokémon were powerful, or if we were overly afraid of Pokémon, times would never change!"

"Everyone, please continue to strive for progress, aim for higher realms, and advance with all your might!!"

Looking at Bei Shang's sudden enthusiasm, Xu Li couldn't help but smile. Yes, just keep moving forward!

They both laughed, but Huo Xia beside them couldn't laugh.

Listening to the confusing conversation between Xu Li and Bei Shang, she only heard that Bei Shang, the man who was said to have lost his memory, had recovered his memory with Xu Li's help. They had known each other before, but the rest...

What does it mean when you say Xu Li will definitely be able to return? Where?

Huo Xia just felt blocked in his heart and couldn't laugh.

"Xu..."

……

At this time, the sky is crowned with the top of the mountain and the mountains are rumbling.

As long as you climb up this slope and run another 100 or 200 meters, you will reach the Yingyue battlefield.

"Huh~ We're finally there."

Zhu Bei learned from Dr. Laben that Xu Li had gone to pacify the King of the Cave. Not wanting to wait in Zhuqing Village, she planned to go directly to Xu Li.

But I didn't expect the terrain at Tianguanshanlu to be so ups and downs. It took me a long time to climb here.

"Glaceon, give me a little more freeze! It's so hot outside the frozen ground."

"Bu Yi——"

Upon hearing this, the Glaceon at Zhubei's feet blew a series of fine snow towards her.

"Ha~ I'm saved again, so I'll cheer up too!"

He picked up the pickaxe in his hand again and climbed up with the Glaceon, one pickaxe at a time.

"Hey~Hey~"

Bang————

Just when Zhu Bei was about to finish climbing, a violent explosion in the distance caused the mountain Zhu Bei was climbing to shake violently, and also caused Zhu Bei's body in mid-air to shake violently.

"Wow~~ What's going on?"

Zhubei could only hold on to the pickaxe tightly, and the Ice Eevee on her body also held on to Zhubei's clothes tightly, praying that the pickaxe would hold.

But unfortunately, the pickaxe didn't dig deep enough and it was impossible for it to hold on.

The next second, snap—the pickaxe left the slope.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa——”

"Bu...Eh~~~"

The rapidly falling Pearl and Glaceon both showed panic expressions, and were about to crash to the ground, at least suffering from broken bones.

Zhu Bei felt a black mist suddenly coming from below, supporting her and allowing her to slowly land on the ground.

"Kou Jie?"

A fat black man slowly appeared in front of him.

The frightened Zhu Bei opened her eyes blankly, then slowly exhaled: "Gengan? Did... you save us?"

"Kou Jie!"

Gengar looked at the tremors in the distance with concern, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he realized Xu Li was fine. Hearing Zhu Bei's words, Gengar looked at the flashing red light on his chest, hesitated for a moment, and nodded proudly.

Although it was not his own strength, it was really saved by him, Gengar thought.

And why did Xu Li's Gengar come out? Gengar fell into memories.

It was because after Gengar had a dream at the foot of Mount Tianguan the day before yesterday, he always felt that there was something attracting him near the Yingyue Battlefield.

After telling Xu Li and getting permission, he took a look around, and as for further away, he planned to wait until Xu Li pacified the King of the Cave before exploring together.

Unexpectedly, not long after coming out, a red light suddenly came and merged into Gengar's body.

Gengar was in a coma and just woke up now. When he hurried back, he encountered the fallen Pearl. As soon as he thought of saving her, he used the black mist to save Pearl.

Gengar didn't know what was going on, he just knew that this power didn't seem to belong to him.

"Um...Geng Gui, could you please take me up?" Zhu Bei found that the pickaxe had disappeared in the vibration just now, so she asked Gengar.

"Kou Jie!"

Gengar nodded.

……

So, in Yingyue battlefield.

"Xu..."

"Kou Jie! (I'm back!)"

Just when Huo Xia was about to ask Xu Li where he was going, he was interrupted by Gengar's loud cry coming from the door.

Xu Li, who was laughing heartily with Bei Shang, turned around and saw Gengar and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Welcome back! Gengar!"

"Kou Jie~"

At this time, Xu Li noticed that next to Gengar, his clothes were gray due to the long journey, and there was a piece of pearl on the back of the hem.

"Are you... Pearl?"

Zhu Bei ran up, looked at Xu Li with her big eyes, and introduced herself seriously.

"Yes, I am Pearl! I lead the Pearl Team and am a far-sighted leader!"

Hearing this, Gangshi on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey! Zhubei, look at you. Are you confused by the huge space of your fake Sinnoh Great Lord?"

Zhubei immediately turned around and glared back at Gangshi.

"What? Space is a treasure bestowed upon us, the Pearl Team, by the Great Lord Sinnoh. It's the foundation of the world! There's no way I could get lost!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Huo Xia slapped his forehead and quietly approached Xu Li.

"Here we go again. Every time these two meet, they always quarrel over Sinnoh Great Lord."

"What about you? Don't you also believe in Sinnoh?"

"I……"

At this time, Zhubei's voice became a higher pitch.

"That's enough! I have more important things to do. Arguing with you about such nonsense is a real waste of time! Sinnoh Lord will be angry."

"Mr. Xu Li! I have an important matter to ask of you."

As he spoke, he walked over and pulled Xu Li aside under Huo Xia's resentful gaze.

"Xu Li, our Pearl Team would like to ask you to pacify the Snow King. We can triple the reward that the King Kong Team offered."

"King of the Snowfield?"

"Yes, the Snow King is the last king still in a rage. Although he appears very gentle, I can sense... the distress he feels from his own rage."

Xu Li felt somewhat helpless. During this period, he received one commission after another to pacify kings from various places. Although he really wanted to pacify them as soon as possible, he would have to face the Gods of Time and Space immediately after pacifying them all.

Xu Li felt that his strength was not enough to defeat the Gods of Time and Space.

Although obtaining the Origin Chains can ensure the capture of one Dialga or Palkia, one still has to face the other one, and also have to guard against Wang Luo in secret.

Although Wang Luo has been temporarily stabilized, who knows what that lunatic will do after the appearance of the Twin Gods of Time and Space.

Therefore, he needed time to prepare and level up. Very much so.

"I can go to the Pure White Frozen Land to check the situation, but I may not be able to pacify the king for at least the time being."

Xu Li said it directly.

Zhu Bei was stunned for a moment, then nodded his big head and said, "Well, let's go take a look first. Let me take you to the pure white frozen land. Let's set off now!"

……

Stepping onto the pure white frozen soil, gusts of cold wind blew directly on Xu Li's face.

He looked at Zhu Bei who had changed her clothes but was still very cool, and couldn't help asking.

"...Aren't you cold?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bei shook her head, but opened her body to accept the biting cold wind, and the bright red hem of her clothes fluttered in the wind.

"No, I actually feel hot. If it were the master, he would definitely stay in the coldest place."

"And the coldest place is undoubtedly the block of ice and rock at the center of the pure white frozen earth! It's said to be the remains of a former snow king, and the temperature is even colder."

"Let's go!"

Xu Li nodded helplessly, summoned Fairy Eevee, and held it in his arms to keep warm.

"Bu-yi? Bu-yi——!"

When Fairy Eevee came out, he was confused at first, but immediately felt the cold wind and shivered. Then he was held in Xu Li's arms, and his big blue eyes looked at Xu Li with resentment.

Why ask her to come out in such a cold day?

"Little Eevee, I'm so cold, can you help me warm up?"

Hearing Xu Li's words, Fairy Eevee blinked, then found a comfortable position in Xu Li's arms.

"Buyi——(Since you said so, I'll help you)

"Thank you, Eevee." Xu Li replied with a smile.

In fact, calling the Flame Horse out to keep warm is a better choice, but it is not good for the Flame Horse to be blown by the cold wind while recovering from its injuries.

However, the flame of the Fire Monkey is too hot and is not suitable for heating.

As for Fang, he was originally there when he went to the pure white tundra, but because of his dragon genes, he shrank directly into the Poké Ball in this increasingly cold environment.

After much thought, I decided on Fairy Eevee!

"Xu Li and your Eevee have a really good relationship!" Zhu Bei also exclaimed.

"Buy?"

The Ice Eevee next to Zhu Bei saw the interaction between Xu Li and Fairy Eevee, tilted its head, and became interested, and actually jumped into Zhu Bei's trap.

"Okay, okay, I'll hold you." Zhubei held the Glaceon in her arms helplessly.

In this way, Xu Li held the warm Sylveon, and Zhu Bei held the cold Glaceon, walking in the pure white frozen soil and heading towards the ice rock in the center.

……

Xu Li and Zhu Bei came here under the ice rock.

There were many ice babies living nearby, and when they saw Xu Li, a stranger, they all ran away with their short legs.

In front of him was a huge inverted cone-shaped ice pillar as big as a small hill. Xu Li couldn't help but sigh and wonder how big the previous Snow King must have been when he turned into this block of ice.

"master--!"

Following Zhu Bei's loud shouts, a man soon jumped down from the ice rock.

His attire was cooler than pearls, yet in this world of ice and snow, he was shirtless, revealing his muscular upper body.

When he saw Xu Li, he opened his mouth and a strong voice came out.

"Let me introduce myself first! My name is Bin Lian, and I'm the captain of the Pearl Team."

"You must be Xu Li! Are you here to pacify the King of the Snowfield?"

Hearing this, Xu Li nodded and then shook his head.

"Let me see what's going on first. If the Ice Rock Monster really shows signs of endangering everyone, then we can only pacify it."

"But if the Snow King is gentle enough, then I will not pacify him for the time being."

Xu Li's words made Bin Lian smile in agreement.
