I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"cadre!"

When the call was connected, Kojiro's anxious voice came from the phone.

"We met Bixias, a former Team Rocket fugitive who is wanted by the organization. His goal is to use the Dark Orb to capture Celebi. He is located in the Paulownia Forest!"

"it is good."

Aixia put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll be right there. Be careful."

"it is good!"

After the call ended, Aisha stood up.

"It looks like there's no time to rest."

After walking out of the restaurant and releasing the Charizard, Aisha rode it directly towards the paulownia forest.

Chapter 486 The Forest God Who Destroyed the Forest (1W)

As the sky gradually darkened, the tung tree forest was shrouded in dark night.

The air was damp and a misty fog lingered among the tall trees.

The forest was pitch black...

Although it is spring, it is not warm in the tung tree forest, and there is even a hint of winter chill.

Because the trees in this forest grow too densely.

Lush branches and leaves......

The lush trees are crowded together, and the green forest that covers the sky blocks out the sun.

During the day, they block out the bright sunlight.

At night, the bright moonlight can only shine into the forest slightly in some places where the trees are sparse.

As a result, the Paulownia Forest became a paradise for Bug-type Pokémon.

Countless insects are active in this dark and humid environment.

Special food chains have developed among the tall trees and dense undergrowth...

"Gu~gu~"

As night falls, the distant cries echo in the dark forest.

A night owl took flight from the trees.

It flapped its wings and flew nimbly among the winding branches.

Gugu poked his head out of the tree hole and opened his red eyes - their eyes could see clearly in the dark forest.

The owl's cry officially marks the beginning of the nightlife in Tongshulin.

A rustling sound overlapped with the sound of swaying trees.

Several colorful orb-spinning spiders were crawling on the thick tree trunks, with several silver lights flashing behind them. They were spider silk.

"squeak!"

Several tiny legs moved quickly, dragging spider silk as the orb-spinning spiders worked hard to weave a large web for defense and living among the bushes.

"Gu~gu~"

A night owl flew over their heads, and its deep cry echoed all around, causing the orb-weaving spiders to tremble with fear.

Spiders' fear of owls is an instinct in their blood.

They looked enviously at Ariados on a big tree in the distance. It was an evolved form of the orb-weaving spider, with a larger body and fancy body color.

"hiss!"

Ariados opened his mouthparts and easily spurted out large streams of white spider silk, weaving a wide spider web in an instant.

This strong spider web can be used for hunting, and the dark white spider silk is accompanied by a strong toxin.

Therefore, even the natural enemy of Bug-type Pokémon, Noctua, would not offend Alidos.

"Li~"

Ladybugs and ladybugs flew over the grass. As beneficial insects, they maintained a good relationship with the night owls and cuckoos.

"Grass?"

A walking grass raised its head from the wet grass with a confused look on its face.

A flicker of fire flickering in the night caught its eye.

"Pie, pie..."

Paras ran past it anxiously.

As a Bug and Grass-type Pokémon, it is even more afraid of fire than Spathiphyllum and Orb-Spinner.

"quack!"

The shrill, hoarse cry, representing an ominous sign, resounded through the night sky.

A Murkrow flapped its shiny black wings and flew through the forest.

It's a Pokémon that shouldn't appear in the Paulownia forest.

"Gah!"

Noticing the flickering fire in the distance, the suspicious Murkrow flapped its wings and flew over at an accelerated speed.

After passing through dense bushes and twisted branches, it stopped on a thick branch and looked ahead.

This was a clearing in the woods, and two young men had lit a bonfire in the middle of the clearing.

The bright moonlight could shine through the sparse trees above their heads and fall to the ground. It was a good decision to choose to spend the night here.

The fire flickered, its warm glow illuminating the face of a young man lying in his sleeping bag.

He placed the baseball cap with the Pokémon League's unique logo next to the sleeping bag.

Another young man was still awake. He used his sleeping bag as a cushion, sat on the ground, and drew pictures of the two Pokémon while holding a skateboard.

The branches burned and broke in the bright flames, making crackling sounds.

The rustling sound of the pencil drawing on the straw paper together formed a quiet melody.

The two Pokémon sleeping against the tree stump were his models.

One is a Pikachu with cute blushed cheeks and a lightning bolt tail.

One is a strange creature, with a light green head and a grass-green body, a pair of transparent wings hanging behind it, two slender tentacles extending from its onion-shaped head, thick dark circles surrounding its closed eyes, slender limbs, and a very cute appearance.

"Um......"

Xiaozhi opened his eyes blearily.

"It's not daylight yet."

The young man who was sketching said this.

"But I can't sleep..." Shaking his head, Xiaozhi gradually regained consciousness. He crawled out of the sleeping bag, moved closer to the young man, and said, "What a great painting."

"I like observing Pokémon."

The young man smiled proudly when he received praise from others for what he loved.

"let me see!"

Xiaozhi made the sound of Brother Jie.

"Ah."

But the young man was not Awei, and he would not refuse Xiaozhi's request. He directly handed the sketchbook to him.

"what......"

Xiaozhi flipped through the thick picture book, admiring it page by page.

This picture book depicts various Pokémon that live in the Kanto and Chengdu regions.

Beautiful flowers gathered in the forest singing and dancing, little fire horses and blazing horses galloping across the grasslands...

Flipping through the pages one by one, Xiaozhi took in all the Pokémon's postures.

All of these were scenes he had seen with his own eyes when he was traveling in the Kanto region.

"It's so well drawn, it's like a hand-drawn Pokémon illustrated book." Holding the illustrated book, Xiaozhi showed an expression of "as expected" and looked at the young man, saying, "As expected, you plan to become a trainer in the future."

“I haven’t decided what I want to be in the future, so I travel.”

The young man shook his head, denying Xiaozhi's statement.

Then he raised his head and looked up at the night sky above him.

The sparse bushes split open a circular hole above their heads. Sitting there, they could see the starry sky.

"When you wake up you're already in the future, right?"

"..."

Xiaozhi's words made the young man lower his head.

Then he stood up and walked alone towards the big tree in the distance.

Knowing that he had spoken out of turn, Xiaozhi hurriedly chased after him.

He looked at the young man who was leaning against a thick tree trunk, lowering his head and covering his eyes with his bangs, and apologized with an embarrassed look on his face.

"I'm sorry I didn't notice your emotions."

"No, it's nothing."

The young man shook his head sympathetically.

After spending some time together, he also realized that Xiaozhi was the kind of person who was carefree and cheerful and didn't care about trivial matters.

"It's just that, whenever I think about traveling to the future, I can't help but think of my mother... She must be very worried about me at home."

Looking at the ground beneath his feet, the young man felt homesick.

A traveler who has left his hometown will feel lonely even when walking in a foreign land, let alone a person who has come to the distant future alone.

Leaving behind his own era, he arrived forty years later due to a special power...

The loneliness and fear in his heart are so huge that they cannot be expressed in words.

“It feels like a dream…”

The young man muttered to himself.

During the journey, he met the legendary Celebi in the Paulownia forest, as well as a Pokémon hunter who had ill intentions towards Celebi.

In order to protect Celebi, he ran away with it, but who knew that he would inadvertently trigger a magical power and travel through time and space.

"Too."

Xiaozhi smiled helplessly.

He was not good at speaking and didn't know how to comfort the young man in front of him.

After traveling, Xiaozhi spent most of his time wandering in the wild alone and did not have much experience interacting with people of his age.

"How's Xiaozhi's mother?"

Seeing that Xiaozhi was speechless, the understanding young man immediately smiled and changed the subject.

He smiled and asked, "After traveling for so long, is your mother at home also worried about your safety?"

"My family...ah, they'll definitely be worried."

It was as if he remembered his mother who was far away in Pallet Town. His mind flashed with his mother's caring advice and gentle smile, and Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile.

"what."

Suddenly, Xiaozhi covered his stomach.

"Thinking about my mother made me hungry."

"what......"
