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

Chapter 102 Then I can only welcome you

Palkia waved his hand, and the Poké Ball that had just captured Deoxys teleported to Xu Li and was held in his hand.

"Isn't it just about smashing the meteorite it created... Why is there such a strong hatred..."

Xu Li thought about the look on Deoxys' face, which seemed to be determined to teach him a lesson.

He also noticed that this huge meteorite was slowly changing its direction, and perhaps its ultimate destination was not Hoenn.

After thinking for a while, Xu Li shook his head.

Why think so much? Just ask Deoxys directly when the time comes.

He began to command Super Rayquaza and the Gods of Space and Time to clear the meteorite fragments heading towards Hoenn and other areas.

In about two hours, the trivial but numerous meteorite fragments were cleared.

At this point, the meteorite crisis was resolved by Xu Li and Rayquaza.

There is even no need for museum owners in various places to be on guard against meteorite fragments at all times.

"Lotom! Such a rare sight, Rotom, come take a picture of the trainer!"

And then Rotom's phone made a clicking sound.

There was Mega Rayquaza under Xu Li's feet, with Palkia and Dialga on his left and right. The background was the Pokémon planet and part of the vast starry sky, and the photo was frozen.

"Let's go... This vast universe is really daunting." Xu Li shook his head.

After waving his hand and taking back Palkia and Dialga, Super Rayquaza took Xu Li out of space and returned to the planet. After a while, the top of the Sky Pillar could be clearly seen.

You can see Xijiana's slender figure leaning against the wall of the Sky Pillar. She is obviously too tired, with her head lowered and breathing evenly. She is holding a Guniuniu in her arms, with her ears drooping, swaying with Xijiana's breathing.

Fus——

Super Rayquaza brought Xu Li to the Dragon Summoning Altar, and then his whole body flashed with light, gradually exiting the super evolution state.

After all, it is a super-evolved state that has not been used for a long time. Even for Rayquaza, it is very tiring to maintain high intensity in space for more than two hours.

In addition, before the super evolution, he was beaten by two shameless divine beasts together, and his physical strength was exhausted.

"roar~"

After making a gesture to Xu Li, it went to sleep in the Dragon Summoning Altar, the residence specially built for it by the Meteor People.

"Go to sleep... get some rest." Xu Li took off his stuffy spacesuit. "We still have two old rivals to deal with later."

"Roar…"

Rayquaza responded with an undeniable response and closed his eyes again.

Xu Li smiled. Ever since he and Rayquaza super evolved, Rayquaza's attitude has changed. At least he is willing to obey Xu Li's command.

"Well……"

Perhaps the noise of Rayquaza's return was too loud, and Xijiana in her sleep made some murmurous sounds, then slowly woke up, staring blankly at the front, then suddenly turned to the Dragon Summoning Altar, saw Xu Li and Rayquaza resting behind him, and her pupils dilated.

"You...are fine!" Xi Jiana exclaimed in surprise at first, then asked anxiously, "Is the meteorite crisis...resolved...?"

Xijiana, who had been waiting anxiously at the top of the Sky Pillar, had waited for a long time but still hadn't seen Xu Li come back. She was worried that Xu Li might have met with an accident... Now she felt relieved when she saw Xu Li appear in front of her.

"It's all right!" Xu Li said Xiaoguang's catchphrase and smiled at Xi Jiana, "The predicted meteorite crisis has been resolved."

"The meteorite crisis... is over!?" Xijiana murmured.

Even though she was mentally prepared when she heard Xu Li's exact answer, Xi Jiana still felt unbelievable.

"Yes." Xu Li gave a second affirmative answer.

"The meteorite crisis... is over..."

Hearing Xu Li's affirmative answer again, Xi Jiana showed a relaxed expression on her face.

While Xu Li was riding the Super Rayquaza into space, Xijiana was looking at the vast starry sky on the Sky Pillar and thinking.

What does this mission of inheriting the Meteor People mean to her...?

Is it a belief that must be protected, or will it bring painful torture?

Shijiana didn't know... She had put in a lot of effort for this, and her fellow tribesmen in Meteor Village had also sacrificed a lot...

But at least for now.

Her mission was accomplished, four or five years ahead of schedule...in the hands of this man.

But then Xijiana felt a little confused. The mission was completed...what should she do next?

Xijiana didn't know either.

"Huh...what? You're unhappy because you didn't solve it yourself?"

Seeing that Xijiana was silent, Xu Li came to lie down beside Xijiana. After all, this was the only place on the top of the Sky Pillar where he could stretch out and rest.

Xu Li was also very tired today.

"I'm not unhappy..." Xi Jiana tilted her head and looked at Xu Li, "Come to think of it... I don't even know your name yet."

They fought directly when they met in front of the Sky Pillar, and were later captured by him. Finally, when they cooperated to summon Rayquaza, Shigana didn't even know his name.

"My name is Xu Li." Xu Li said with a smile.

"Xu Li..." Xi Jiana pursed her lips, "My name is Xi Jiana."

"I know." Xu Li looked at the starry sky, which was dotted with stars. He often looked at it like this when washing jade.

"So..." Not curious about why Xu Li knew her name, Xi Jiana also followed Xu Li to look at the starry sky, and her heart calmed down.

Today is a magical day for Xijiana.

From the encounter with Xu Li at the Pillar of the Sky, to the successful summoning of the Dragon God whom the Meteor People believed in, to being attacked by the Dragon God... until finally the meteorite crisis that troubled them was eliminated by Xu Li.

All of this process didn't even take more than twelve hours.

But the content was enough for Xijiana to remember throughout her life. It was much more exciting than her boring life in the previous fourteen years.

All this... is because of Xu Li's appearance... Xi Jiana pursed her lips.

"When I was a child, whenever I was overwhelmed by anxiety, I would look up here and gaze at the starry sky." Xi Jiana suddenly said to Xu Li.

"What about you now?"

"What's the meaning…?"

“Now I feel like looking up at the stars.”

"..."

Xijiana couldn't give an answer.

After gazing at the starry sky for a long time.

Xi Jiana suddenly spoke and turned to look at Xu Li.

“…It’s very comfortable. I think I’m enjoying this moment.”

"Um…"

Only then did I realize that Xu Li had fallen asleep.

Xijiana couldn't help but smile. She stared at Xu Li for a long time before looking at the starry sky again.

……

the next day.

The morning light in the sky illuminated Xu Li's face. The height of the Pillar of the Sky made the morning light somewhat warm. Xu Li opened his eyes somewhat uncomfortably, but felt a warm feeling tightly binding his arms.

"Ok?"

Xu Li turned around and found that Xijiana was hugging his arm tightly, with her cheek, which was slightly covered with dust, pressed against his arm. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and some saliva flowed out from the sides, wetting part of Xu Li's short-sleeved shirt.

She pressed her whole body close to Xu Li's arm, with her upper abdomen pressed against the back of Xu Li's hand. If Xu Li turned his wrist slightly, he could even touch Xijiana's still fully developed fruit.

And Guniuniu was lying behind Xijiana.

"Shijiana..."

Xu Li called out several times, but she didn't respond at all.

"This guy...sleeps so soundly..."

Perhaps it was the relief of completing her mission that made Xijiana fall asleep slowly very late.

Xu Li was helpless and slowly and carefully pulled his arms out of Xijiana's arms, but Xijiana held him too tightly and it was inevitable that he would touch places he shouldn't touch.

Fortunately, after a difficult and tortuous route, Xu Li finally pulled his arm out slowly.

"call…"

Xu Li stood up and slowly walked to the front of Liekongzuo. Coincidentally, Liekongzuo's bright yellow eyes slowly opened.

"I'm leaving, what about you?" Xu Li said with a smile, "Do you want to go with me, or continue living in the sky?"

"Roar…"

Rayquaza raised its head and looked at the grass-green gem on Xu Li's chest, indicating that it had a choice.

"Of course you have a choice. I let Palkia and Dialga live freely." Xu Li smiled. "If you like the freedom of the sky, then I can naturally let you continue to live there."

Then, Xu Li shook the grass-green gem and said, "After all, if I summon you with this, you will come, right?"

"Roar!"

Rayquaza nodded as a matter of course.

Since it has agreed to be Xu Li's Pokémon, it will fulfill its responsibilities.

What's more, Rayquaza felt that Xu Li... was not bad. After the super evolution, he had a telepathic exchange with Xu Li. Even though it was not pure, the inner feeling made Rayquaza very comfortable.

"That's all." Xu Li handed Rayquaza a bulging package, "Don't let your gift spill in the sky."

This is an energy block specially made by Xu Li, and both Palkia and Dialga praised it highly.

"Hoo!"

When Liekongzu heard the second half of Xu Li's sentence, his eyes widened. How could it be possible for it, a divine beast known as the God of the Sky, to spill the beans?

Immediately, the power of the wind lifted up the rocks that had fallen from under the Pillar of the Sky, controlled them at the gap, and accurately filled in the damaged part.

With just some repairs, it can become solid again.

In this way, it showed its control to Xu Li, and perhaps it also felt embarrassed for having slept here for a night.

"Very good." Xu Li agreed and nodded, suppressing his smile. "Then I'll be leaving first."

"Roar…"

Rayquaza looked at Xu Li's slowly leaving back and said goodbye softly.

Then he took out a few energy cubes from the package given by Xu Li and put them into his mouth.

As the taste exploded in Rayquaza's mouth.

It made its eyes pause, and couldn't wait to put a few more energy cubes into its mouth.

Rayquaza had never eaten anything like this before. It usually fed on the bland, tasteless water and particles in the atmosphere. Compared to this energy cube...

There's no comparison at all.

Rayquaza regretted choosing to live in the sky.

…Well, they’ll see each other again soon.

With this thought, Rayquaza soared into the sky, and its emerald green body quickly disappeared under the cover of morning clouds.

……

After leaving the Sky Pillar, Xu Li specifically looked at Xijiana's location.

She was still fast asleep, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and her arms were unconsciously stretching out, as if she was a little uneasy because she wasn't holding anything.

Seeing Xijiana's body moving with her movements, her body was getting closer and closer to the edge of the Sky Pillar.

Xu Li woke up Gu Niuniu who was beside her.

“Gugnaw…? Gugnaw!?”
