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

……

"Xu Li!" "Lord Xu Li!!" "Xu Li!" "Xu Li!!"

Amid the cheers of people from Zhuqing Village and various other places, Xu Li said hello to everyone and slowly left the stage.

Thinking of the girl in the reddish-brown kimono who had just cheered for him, Xu Li sighed slightly and walked slowly along the small path in Zhuqing Village.

"Xu Li, I wish you a safe journey!" In front, Bei Shang took off the tough navy hat on his head and waved goodbye to Xu Li.

Xu Li had already told Bei Shang that he would be leaving here soon.

He asked the God of Time, Dialga, whether Xiaozhao and Beishang could go back.

But the answer he got was that Xiaozhao could go back, but Beishang... Dialga stammered, saying that he had a more important mission...

Bei Shang was also very tolerant of this. He had been in Xicui for thirty years and had long been accustomed to it.

What's more, he has recently found new meaning.

Bei Shang created a battle field similar to a battle subway in Zhuqing Village, preparing to once again assume his responsibilities as a battle leader.

"Beishang, goodbye! I wish your battle path will always be filled with passion and victory!" Xu Li responded.

Their eyes met, no words needed.

……

After saying goodbye to Bei Shang, Xu Li came to a remote corner.

"Xu Li, are you looking for me?" An excited girl's voice came.

There was a lively celebration in the distance. Xu Li was standing under a tree and Huo Xia ran over eagerly.

Looking at Huo Xia's happy expression because of the festive atmosphere, Xu Li's eyes were a little complicated.

"What is this?" Huo Xia was a little surprised. She saw Xu Li holding an elf egg with fiery red patterns in his arms.

"Guana entrusted it to me. She hopes that I can find a trustworthy owner for it... I've seen it, it should be Liuwei, and it's very healthy. Are you willing to take care of it?" Xu Li smiled.

"Okay! I will take good care of this child!!" Huo Xia exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly hugged the elf egg, feeling the elf egg's vibrant vitality in his arms.

This is the child Xu Li handed over to me. Huo Xia lowered his head and looked at the elf egg, his heart beating faster, immersed in this sudden surprise.

"Well... Xiaozhao and I should leave Xicui." Seeing Huoxia's happy face, Xu Li felt a little reluctant, but still said it.

"Ah!?" Huo Xia's exclamation echoed in the air, and the smile on her face froze instantly. Her premonition... came true?

"..."

The air was silent for a while.

"Can we... see each other again?" Huo Xia's voice sounded weakly.

"Well...we are going to a very far place." Xu Li shook his head slightly.

“…Can I go?” Huo Xia seemed unwilling to give up.

Xu Li shook his head silently, "That's a place only Xiaozhao and I can go."

"Then... what should I do if you leave?" Huo Xia raised her head and looked directly into Xu Li's eyes. Tears slowly flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto the elf egg in her arms. "You two are my only friends."

"sorry."

Those gentle words were like a heavy hammer that shattered Huo Xia's hope.

"..."

"Then...you guys go." Huo Xia's voice sounded slowly.

"sorry."

Xu Li closed his eyes, hardened his heart and left.

Huo Xia looked at Xu Li's departing back, tears streaming down her face. She wanted to hug him regardless of everything, but... that would only make her even sadder.

She held the elf egg tightly in her arms, as if it was her only support.

……

After saying goodbye to Huo Xia, Xu Li came to Dr. Laben's office.

Xu Li felt a little heavy in his heart and just wanted to find something to fill himself up.

It just so happens that Professor Laben's Pokédex is only a small part away from completion.

Xu Li used his own memory to help Dr. Laben complete the atlas one by one.

They worked until the next day, and Dr. Laben exclaimed in surprise as he held piles of drawings.

"Done! Done! Just need some more editing before we can release the first version of the Pokédex!"

Unable to control himself, Dr. Laben even hugged Xu Li tightly.

"Xu Li! The luckiest thing in my life is meeting you! It's amazing!!"

……

the next day.

"Big-tailed raccoon, why don't you come over?"

“Bido!”

The raccoon turned into white light and was put into the Poké Ball.

In the yard of Xu Li's house in Zhuqing Village, Xu Li packed up his belongings and put all his Pokémon into Poké Balls.

"Xiao Zhao, are you ready?"

"Ready!" Xiaozhao nodded firmly.

[Mission Completed: Dawn of Washing Green]

[Mission Reward: Return to reality and unlock hidden features]

In the yard, Xu Li and Xiao Zhao disappeared out of thin air.

……

The next day, the Galaxy team announced that Xingyue, the leader of the investigation team, was promoted to the new captain of the Galaxy team, and the former captain Magamu resigned from all positions.

At the same time, in order to commemorate Xu Li's great contribution to Team Galaxy and the Pokémon world, he was posthumously named a pioneer of Team Galaxy, and his name will be forever recorded in the history of Team Galaxy.

In order to commemorate the capture of the Sinnoh Great Lord by Xu Li, Team Galaxy, Team Pearl, and Team Kong announced that the Xicui region would also be renamed the Sinnoh region.

A month later, the first edition of the Pokémon Pokedex, painstakingly compiled by Dr. Laben, was published. Its comprehensive content and novel information quickly spread throughout the Pokémon region.

It has been regarded as a classic until later generations.

If you open the first page of the Pokémon Guide, the first thing you see is this tribute: "To Xu Li, the greatest contributor to the Pokémon Guide and a close friend of Professor Laben."

Chapter 75: Plundering Pokémon, closing off emotions, shadow?

This is a desolate desert.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast expanse of dead yellow sand.

The wind, like an untamed beast, roared and tumbled beneath the yellow sand. The sun, like an emotionless furnace, hung high in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly, as if to wipe out all traces of life.

In this cruel environment where no one can survive, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Just now I was in the courtyard of Zhuqing Village with a good environment, but in the blink of an eye, I had arrived at this yellow sand land.

There was scorching sand under my feet, and no sign of life around me.

"Where the hell is this!" Xu Li couldn't help but ask this question after looking around.

The Haina Desert in Alola? The Baking Desert in Padya? Or some other desert?

Xiaozhao, who had returned with him, was also not around. Xu Li was not worried about this, as Palkia had reminded him that the two of them might not be together when they returned.

There may be situations like Xiao Zhao appearing in Padia and Xu Li appearing in Sinnoh.

But the question is, is it necessary to throw oneself into such a place? Xu Li felt uncomfortable just standing here for a while.

"Huh~" he summoned the Flame Horse. The yellow sand before him made it impossible to determine the direction. Xu Li could only hold the Lucky Meow Coin in front of his chest and randomly chose a direction. "Flame Horse, go this way!"

"Bo——!"

The hot desert cannot affect the condition of the Flame Horse. The only trouble is that the soft sand under its feet is not suitable for the Flame Horse to run.

The Fiery Horse's gray-white flames surged, and its running figure left a pale trail in the yellow desert.

Perhaps it was the Lucky Meow Coin's credit, but after only an hour of running, the outline of a city loomed on the horizon. Like an oasis in the desert, Xu Li could actually see a hint of green.

As they got closer, they found a small three-story disc-shaped town. What caught Xu Li's attention most was the water flowing out from the top layer through the designed channels, flowing continuously throughout the town. It was a real spectacle in the desert.

"Thank you for your hard work, my Infernape." Xu Li patted Infernape's neck, took out an energy cube and fed it, then put it back into the Poké Ball to let it rest with Infernape's trusting smile.

Xu Li saw that there were still some Pokémon in the town, such as Guniuniu running around in the streets, Auntie and Oli acting together, and there were even people fighting on the road in the center of the town.

It was still a doubles match. One of the men with white hair in a windbreaker sent out Umbreon and Solebee, and was followed by an orange-haired woman with twin ponytails.

His opponent was wearing blue armor and sent out Blue Crocodile and Stinky Mud.

Although he didn't know what area this was, Xu Li felt relieved. It wasn't a dangerous place, and there were still sparring sessions, although the style was rather fierce.

The strange thing is, there was no audience.

He planned to watch the fight and then ask where this place was.

"Look, these two are your different evolved forms!" At a distance that would not disturb the battle, he summoned Fairy Eevee, held it in his arms, and said with a smile.

After confirming that he had returned to the modern era, Xu Li felt a lot more relaxed.

The two people being watched didn't understand why anyone would watch such a dangerous fight, but the fight was important and they couldn't pay attention to it for the time being.

"Buey?" Fairy Eevee looked at Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee and wondered, will I become like this in the future?

"Ha, no, you have evolved into Sylveon." Xu Li said, who was made to smile foolishly by Eevee.

"Buee~" Fairy Eevee also smiled foolishly and wrapped the ribbon on its chest around Xu Li's arm.

It’s better to be in this form now. I can feel Xu Li’s mood and the relaxed emotion coming from the ribbon, Eevee thought.

But at this time, the man and Ibrahimovic had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Now, Leo." The orange-haired woman shouted, and then a scene that made Xu Li dumbfounded happened.

The man she called Leo fiddled with the device on his arm, then swung his arm, and a red and white ball shot out, hitting the opponent's blue crocodile, and then forced the blue crocodile into the ball like a claw.

Then, the red and white balls shook once, twice... Ding Dong, the sound effect of successful capture was heard.

This man named Leo had captured his opponent's owned Pokémon? Xu Li's eyes widened. Seeing this, Sylveon nuzzled into Xu Li's chest.

Moreover, after the orange-haired woman snatched the other party's Pokémon, she also questioned: "What happened to that Pokémon? What did you do to the Pokémon?"

The other party actually answered.

"Artificially sealing the hearts of Pokémon will naturally turn them into excellent fighting machines. Humph, so what if you know that? I guess you can't do anything about it!" The other party replied with a sneer, then turned around and wanted to leave quickly.

He is the villain? Xu Li blinked and saw that the man wanted to leave.

"Eevee!" Xu Li said.

"Buee--" Fairy Eevee understood what he meant, glared with his big eyes, and used his mental strength to stop the man who was about to get on the motorcycle. Then he lost his balance unconsciously, rolled over a few times, and rolled back to his original place in a mess.

"Who are you!?" The man looked at Xu Li in horror, regardless of his disheveled body.

He personally experienced a gentle yet unshakable power, which made him feel an unprecedented pressure. Even the most powerful Pokémon in the organization he had ever seen had never felt such a strong force.

No, this guy was no match for me. He suddenly had a body convulsion and then fell unconscious on the ground.

Fairy Eevee blinked in confusion, he didn't use much strength.

Leo and the woman were also paying attention here, wary of this strong man who suddenly appeared.

"It doesn't matter who I am, can you tell me what's going on?" Xu Li walked forward slowly, holding Fairy Eevee.

When the girl heard Xu Li's words, she mustered up the courage to stand up and speak.

"My name is Mirei. I can sense the dark aura of certain Pokémon. Hmph, this must be the battle machine he just mentioned that seals off the Pokémon's emotions."

"But these dark Pokémon that close off their emotions, I can feel their souls wailing!"
