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

But it made Xu Li a little confused. When he mentioned the Shadow organization, Barclay's perfunctory attitude could not be faked.

Why is there still a reputation for actively fighting crime? Xu Li thought so, said goodbye to the old man, and returned to his hotel in Silicon Berylium City.

Xu Li took out the laurel leaf and the Fire Mouse's Poké Ball and summoned them out.

When Xu Li got the Laurel Leaf Poké Ball, the favorability section on the system page turned into a purification value.

The laurel leaf currently displays [Purification Value: 6%]. It was 4% before leaving the hotel, and now it has become 6%.

Although still like a doll without any movement, Xu Li could feel that the eyes of Bay Leaf showed a hint of intelligence.

This shows that these dark Pokémon can also return to normal.

Take out a few energy cubes and gently put them into Bayleaf's mouth, watching [Purification Value: 6%] jump to [Purification Value: 9%]

Xu Li nodded. He guessed that interacting with these dark Pokémon might increase the purification value.

He patted the heads of Bay Leaf and Fire Rock Rat and said, "Come on, you will recover sooner or later!"

"Bu-yi! Bu~"

Sylveon also encouraged Bayleaf and Charmeleon, sincerely hoping that they could return to normal.

As the Fairy Eevee, the link Pokémon, values ​​relationships above all else. Upon learning of their situation, he was filled with righteous indignation, eager to blast the culprit who created the Dark Pokémon with the power of the Moon.

This Orei area really annoys Eevee.

Whether it was the act of stealing other people's Pokémon or dark Pokémon, it made Fairy Eevee feel very uncomfortable.

It had no idea what to do if it was kidnapped and separated from Xu Li, or turned into a dark Pokémon.

But Ibrahimovic doesn't need to worry, these are impossible to happen in front of Xu Li's current strength.

……

Mayor Barclay's Office, 2nd Floor.

"Have you found out? How come a person with king-level strength suddenly appeared in Silicon Berylium City! Is it related to us?" Barclay was a little irritated on the sofa.

Opposite Barclay, a secretary-like woman bent over and answered.

"This Xu Li seemed to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he didn't investigate anything related to us."

"But I guess he might be the grandson of Professor Mustard who disappeared five years ago. It was because of his grandson's disappearance that Professor Mustard announced he would not accept any affairs just one year later. At the same time, he might have a relationship with the Sinnoh Champion."

Barclay lay deep in bed on the sofa, eyes closed. After a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Do you really want to leave here..."

"Since it has nothing to do with us, let's create some chaos among the Pokémon hunters and ensure the arrival of the Sinnoh Champion to take this man away before he discovers anything more."

"Yes, boss!"

This conversation was held in secret by Barclay.

But they didn't notice that outside the wall, there was a Gengar with his ear close to the wall, with an embarrassed expression on his face as if he had accidentally heard someone else's secret.

Then, feeling embarrassed, Gengar quietly floated away.

It has great intelligence!

……

Sinnoh region, Pokémon League.

As the new champion of the Sinnoh League, Bamboo Ran has had a lot of troubles recently.

Whether it was the news of the large number of Pokémon hunters appearing in Silicon Beryl City in the Ouray region, or the recent frequent movements of the evil organization Team Galactic in Sinnoh, she had to take action.

Originally, Zhulan planned to quell some unusual movements of the Galaxy Team before setting off for the Ouray region.

But there were more reports from the Oure region. Not only in Silicon Berylium City, but also in other places in the Oure region, such as Violet Harbor and Pyrite Town, there were reports of Pokémon hunters dumping large quantities of illegally captured Pokémon.

If we don't act now, the opportunity may pass and we won't be able to catch the Pokémon Hunter.

Therefore, Zhulan planned to take action today, but she had some concerns before leaving.

Grandma Jiezilan has been ill recently and feels a little unwell.

When I asked my grandma what was wrong, she just said she missed Xu Li...

But how could she not miss him... Zhulan looked at the only pendant on her desk.

It was a photo frame, on which was a picture of Zhulan, Grandma Jiezilan and...Xu Li, the three of them hugging each other and smiling.

But this happy atmosphere was lost to Zhulan from that day on. When she arrived at the forest with the research institute's combatants, all she saw was a giant crater and the Pokémon of the hunters who had survived the explosion, covered in wounds.

As for the two hunters and...Xu Li, if there was any hope left, they were nowhere to be found...

She would never forget how agonizing that night in Masaga Town was.

Dr. Yamanashi's self-blame, Nancy's words of hatred for herself, Grandma Mustard's coma after hearing the news, and Xiaoguang's ignorant tears... all lingered in Zhulan's heart for a long time.

From then on, Zhulan seemed to have changed.

He only cares about getting stronger, doesn't give a damn to outsiders, and then madly attacks Pokémon hunters...

But perhaps only grandma knows that Zhulan Champion, who seems cold and ruthless in the eyes of outsiders, actually has a soft spot in his heart.

I'm already the Sinnoh Champion... What about you? Why haven't you come and spank me yet...

After staring at the photo for a long time, Zhulan sighed slowly and wiped away the tears that had flowed down her face.

She has become much stronger.

"Let's go, Oure Region!"

……

In the rare library in Silicon Berylium City, Xu Li learned that the Sinnoh Champion had agreed to come. He couldn't help but smile and continued to read the book "Mr. Bell Ritz Takes You to Explore the Sinnoh Region - Unveiling the Mysteries of History" in his hand.

Mr. Bellrits, Xu Li didn't expect to find a book written by someone he knew in this library. He was another name for Researcher Huitang of the Yamanashi Research Institute in Masaga Town.

He is also the father of Xiaoguang and Platinum.

The book describes the past history of Sinnoh, among which Zhuqing Village, as a turning point in Sinnoh's history, occupies a considerable amount of space.

For Xu Li, who had just returned from Xicui, reading this book was undoubtedly a familiar yet novel experience.

But what made Xu Li strange was that the name Xu Li seemed to be buried in the history of Sinnoh.

What was left behind was the title of "pioneer". Countless historians have given extremely high historical evaluation to this "pioneer", and they are also puzzled as to why there is no information at all about this "pioneer".

Instead, there are various unofficial histories.

Some people say that after the "pioneer" died, he left behind a rare book with his life achievements in front of his grave, but it was covered with poison and anyone who touched it would die.

All the inexplicable deaths in history were attributed to this extraordinary book.

Some people also say that the "pioneer" actually took the elixir of immortality and has never died and is still alive today, so he has to hide his identity.

When reading this, Xu Li was amused. It was really interesting to read his own unofficial history.

It was getting late, so Xu Li put down the book in his hand.

Prepare to investigate nearby.

Judging from the news released by Gengar, this Barclay is really quite suspicious.

Recently, the purification values ​​of Bay Leaf and Fire Rock Rat have been approaching 20%, and they have gained some awareness.

But it also made Xu Li more determined to destroy the shadow organization that created dark Pokémon.

This is also the reason why Zhulan came.

Chapter 77: Bamboo Orchid, Speedrun Olei (8k)

Pyrite Town, Pyrite Arena.

The orderly Silicon Berylium City and the rough and chaotic Pyrite Town are neighbors, and it only takes a very short journey to travel between them.

The Pyrite Arena is the most carnival center of the chaotic Pyrite Town.

In just two days, they will fight two-on-two in a circular arena in an unfinished building to determine the champion.

There were no referees, no hosts, no rules, only the people of Huangtie Town watching the game and celebrating on the iron frames on both sides, filling the air with a primitive and rough atmosphere.

Now, it's time for the finals. Whoever wins and becomes the champion will receive a Pokémon that looks like a fighting machine as a reward from the new owner of the Pyrite Arena.

The Sinnoh region and the Ourei region are far apart, and it would take at least two days to get there. Xu Li did not intend to wait in Silicon Beryllium City in vain, so he planned to get some information about Shadow.

It just so happens that the competition in the Pyrite Arena lasts for exactly two days.

So Xu Li is now standing on one side of the battlefield. He is also a contestant in the finals.

He came here to easily give a new owner of the Pyrite Arena a "battle machine-like Pokémon".

The one Xu Li sent out was Fairy Eevee, who was frowning and looking at the noisy environment around him with disgust, but it was Eevee who asked Xu Li to let him play.

Because next to it was the Alola Vulpix, who was looking around with some curiosity, seeing such an environment for the first time.

Although she is not Vulpix's real mother, Fairy Eevee still cares about Vulpix.

In addition, the opponent this time is Leo, who can capture other people's Pokémon, whom Eevee met just after arriving in Silicon Beryl City, so Eevee has to worry about Vulpix being captured.

In previous matches, Xu Li always sent out a combination of Bay Leaf and Fire Rock Rat. This time, to be on the safe side, Xu Li sent out the stronger Vulpix.

Seeing Fairy Eevee appear on the battlefield, Mirei beside Leo slapped her forehead and said irritably: "Leo, why don't you give up? That beautiful Eevee is impossible to beat!"

In fact, when Mi Lei saw Xu Li also participating in the competition, she knew that they had no chance of winning the championship, but Leo insisted on fighting.

As expected, Leo shook his head stubbornly and sent out the Umbreon and Sol combination. Whether they could win or not, they would have to fight to find out.

There were actually three Eevee's evolved forms on the field, and the people of Pyrite Town watching the game were even more excited.

"Woo! Tear each other apart!"

"Let's bet on which of these three Eevees is the most powerful! Do you want to bet?"

"Wow, wow, wow—they're all cute Pokémon. I love watching them kill each other!"

Ignoring their shouts, the game began.

Sylveon slowly retreated. This time it was Vulpix's stage, and it didn't need to take action, but its eyes were sharp as it stared at Leo's arm with the grabbing device, ready to attack at any time.

Although Leo promised not to use the capture device on Pokémon other than Dark Pokémon, he still had to be on guard.

"Woo~"

Vulpix's small head looked up at the sky and activated its snowfall feature. Soon, this open-air unfinished building arena was filled with snowflakes.

"Evil Wave, Meditation!"

Leo's Umbreon protected the Sun Eevee, emitting a malicious aura, and a black wave attacked Vulpix.

Behind the Moon Eevee, the Sun Eevee was meditating peacefully.

The evil wave hit, and Vulpix simply jumped lightly in the flying snow. Its completely forked tail swayed in the air, avoiding the attack.

Frozen Wind

The Vulpix in the air gathered cold air in its mouth, and as soon as it landed, its small body spit out a cold wind that could cover the entire venue and attacked the opponent, and the snowflakes in the sky also flew.

Under the cold wind, Solebee struggled to erect a wall of light, hiding itself and Moonebee's bodies behind it.

"Help, freezing beam on the right side!" Xu Li interrupted the command at the right time.

"Bu Yi!" "Woo~"

After using the Freezing Wind, Vulpix moved quickly. Its smaller white body was looming in the flying snow, moving like a ghost, and soon it went around to the right.

Fairy Eevee smiled, and gently clapped its pink forepaws, and a huge amount of energy, which was quite huge for Vulpix, flowed into its body.

Then, Vulpix's freezing beam instantly crossed half of the field like an icy sword and rushed towards the Moon Eevee.

The strong impact force directly smashed Umbreon into the steel wall of the arena, leaving deep marks and causing Umbreon to lose its combat ability.

"Misfortunes never come singly," Xu Li continued to command.

"Woo~"

Vulpix closed his eyes and quickly condensed several light balls of ghost energy, which were thrown one after another from all around the Sun Eevee. Soon, Leo's unwilling surrender sounded.

The game is over.

This was followed by even louder cheers and discussions from the surrounding audience.
