The ship sailed on the river, and a pleasant breeze came to face it.
"Ahead is the Forest of Oruans." Daigo said.
AZ put his hand on the railing, his eyes passing through a trace of reminiscence.
“It was a great pleasure traveling with everyone.”
Dian Xi said with a smile, "Including last night's camping, Yulijia, I will never forget it."
"Are you going to leave when you see Xerneas, Dianxi?" Xiaozhi said regretfully.
"Well, I have to go back to my country."
Dianxi said seriously: "However, there will definitely be a chance to meet again!"
"Where is the country of minerals?" Dawu was slightly curious.
Dianxi proudly said: "The entire underground mineral veins in Carlos are the territory of the country of minerals."
"But..." Dianxi sighed softly: "Due to the depletion of sacred diamonds, several veins have lost contact with the sacred ore."
"After we meet Xerneas, we can build a mine leading to Miare City."
Yulijia's eyes lit up: "In this way, I can play with Dianxi often~"
"No problem." Dianxi smiled and said, "Because we are friends, Yulijia!"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Build a mine to the city of Miare?
We have to find a way to lure Diancie back to the coffee shop and let her turn the underground of the courtyard into a diamond mine!
Of course, the diamond mine here does not refer to 'small diamonds', but diamonds with extraordinary hardness, the kind that can improve physical fitness when fed to Bankilas.
The premise is to help Diancie save her country.
Lu Ye's eyes glowed.
In this way, it should be no problem to return a diamond mine!
Another half hour passed.
The ship docked and the group of people walked deep into the forest.
The outer periphery of the forest is lush with greenery, but the core area is a withered and dead land, presenting a strange landscape of concentric circles.
As soon as he entered the forest, Teacher Lu noticed a strong reaction from the superpower, and a radar-like white beam scanned out eye-catching light spots.
Lu Ye looked complicated.
I just wanted to say, "I have the Fairy Slate, come and get it quickly" written on your face!
Xerneas's habitat is located deep in the forest, and it is said that he will appear to people in the form of a "colorful tree".
Therefore, the group of people followed the radiance of the rainbow, passed through the roaring and splashing waterfalls, and the deep and dense forest, and arrived at an altar with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
AZ stopped and said hoarsely:
"Let's just say goodbye, Diancie."
"Aren't you going to see Xerneas with me?" Diancie turned around and asked.
"No." AZ smiled.
AZ once deceived them in the name of a wise king and used their power to create the ultimate weapon, knowing full well that they would not forgive him.
What he wants to go to is the other end of the forest, in order to fall into eternal sleep in the river of the Broken Cocoon.
"I'll wait for you outside." AZ said, "Teacher Lu, please say goodbye."
Lu Ye glanced at AZ in surprise.
Seeing his firm gaze under his white hair, Lu Ye warned: "Don't do anything stupid, I'll be back soon."
For the Goblin Slate, Luye must negotiate with Xerneas in person.
Teacher Lu doesn't know what AZ means to these two gods.
But one thing is obvious, even the gentle-tempered X-deer will not want to see AZ.
AZ's facial muscles twitched: "I can... Teacher Lu."
Lu Ye shuddered, feeling uncomfortable being called "teacher" by a thousand-year-old monster.
Although King Portlandis once thought that he was a wave guide hero of the same era as him...
Lu Ye waved his hand casually and led Dianxi towards the deep path behind the altar: "Let's go, Dianxi, follow me."
"Okay, Mr. Lu Ye." Dianxi jumped up and down, following Lu Ye's pace.
Daigo motioned with his eyes to Xiaozhi and his group to follow, and then nodded slightly to AZ.
Looking at the disappearing figures of the group of people.
AZ looked up at the sky. The hazy beams of light passed through the gaps between the shades of the trees, scattering mottled light and shadow. The surroundings were full of vitality, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant.
"It's so beautiful..."
AZ murmured to himself, sadness welling up in his heart, but it was not regret for his choice.
For three thousand years, AZ has constantly asked himself whether he would risk the destruction of the kingdom to resurrect Huayidi.
The answer is yes.
Even if the disappointed Eternal Flower left him, AZ never hesitated.
The tall man turned around and walked towards the other end of the forest.
It was a dead land with withered vegetation and dried up rivers.
In the center of the dead land, in the dark spring water, a night-like cocoon is beating like a heartbeat, gradually waking up...
…
The shadows of the trees in the forest are mottled, the hazy mist is lingering, and the colorful brilliance is falling.
Lu Ye and Dianxi headed in the direction of the rainbow.
"Mr. Lu Ye, Mr. Lu Ye?" Dianxi called softly.
"What's wrong."
"Are you short of money?" Dianxi asked seriously.
"Ahem...who told you?"
"Because, you have been whispering about diamonds and stuff since just now." Dianxi's face was full of innocence.
Lu Ye scratched his cheek awkwardly.
Teacher Lu was just thinking about how to get a diamond mine for Bankilas without looking like a lion.
At this moment, under the innocent gaze of Dianxi, Teacher Lu felt that his conscience was condemned...
"I'm sorry." Lu Ye said decisively: "I've never had enough money, but it's not a big deal."
Because I have a rich woman named Sirona!
"If you want a diamond, I can give you one."
Dianxi blinked her clear eyes, spread out her little hand, and handed the pink diamond to Lu Ye, "But the energy will dissipate once it is used up... so don't be too sad at that time."
Teacher Lu was deeply moved by Princess Dianxi's kindness. He wanted to touch the top of Dianxi's head, but he withdrew his hand and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Diancie, I'll accept it."
"Kou Jie~" Gengar floated over from the side.
Lu Ye's expression changed and he quickly hid the pink diamond in his pocket: "Don't lick this!"
Dianxi covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Lu Ye, and Geng Gui are also very good friends."
"This is called a bond."
Lu Ye allowed Gengar to lick him, resisted the paralysis, and said calmly:
"The bond can relieve paralysis."
"The bond... is so powerful!" Dian Xi opened her eyes in disbelief.
Dawu: "..."
The one that relies on bonds to relieve paralysis is a Pokémon!
How can any trainer rely on bonds to relieve paralysis?
During the chat, the colorful brilliance became more crystal clear.
In a clearing in the forest, the colorful trees are very eye-catching.
Colorful tree branches extend in all directions, with abundant life energy surging among them. The dark blue trunks flash with flickering green crystals, and the energy of the earth flows from the roots to the tree body.
"So beautiful..." Yurika whispered.
"I feel...the fairy atmosphere." Dianxi closed her eyes lightly.
Lu Ye took out the elf ball. The aura here was of great help to Fairy Eevee.
"Bu Yi!" Fairy Ibrahimovic looked at the tree with his blue round eyes and slightly bared his teeth.
I saw the 'tree body' suddenly rising from the ground.
The black tree roots are exposed from the ground, forming strong limbs like an elk, and the blue trunk becomes its slender neck.
With the colorful branches of the tree of life above his head, Xerneas looked at Xiang Luye, Dianxi and others with gentle eyes.
"The big tree has turned into a colorful deer?" Xiaozhi scratched his head and asked.
"It's really Xerneas!" Citron said in shock.
Daigo was filled with emotion. He didn't expect to actually see the legendary God of Life, Xerneas.
Walking with Teacher Lu... you can always see legendary Pokémon that are hard to see on ordinary days!
Diancie jumped forward with worried eyes and her hands covering her chest:
"Xerneas, please give me your help so that I can save my kingdom and people!"
Xerneas' eyes flashed with memories.
Three thousand years ago, a human said the same words to him, and that betrayal caused Xerneas to fall into a deep sleep for three thousand years.
At this moment, Xerneas looked at Diancie and chose to trust him again.
"I already know your purpose of coming."
Xerneas' gentle telepathy resounded in everyone's hearts.
"The so-called fairy atmosphere is the aura that surges with life energy, and it is also my gift."
The colorful tree branches above Xerneas' head bloomed with iridescent light, becoming more dazzling. The light bloomed in the forest, and his form switched from 'relaxation mode' to 'active mode'.
Under the shroud of this light, Dianxi closed her eyes lightly, and Fairy Ibrahimovic also noticed a different kind of energy.
Teacher Lu nodded gently to Fairy Ibrahimovic, and the little guy just closed his eyes and felt at ease.
Lu Ye looked at Xerneas who shared the life energy and felt emotional.
Of all the gods, Xerneas is one of the most talkative.
Bathed in the fairy aura, Fairy Eevee, whose level had been stagnant for a long time, officially became a champion-level combat power.
This does not include the bonus of the Fairy Tablet...
This trip has yielded unexpected results!
The colorful brilliance receded, and Xerneas' gentle eyes looked at Dianxi.
Dianxi tried to gather the diamonds, but still failed. Serena and Yurika rushed to comfort her.
Xerneas did not go into details, he had already done what he should do, and turned his attention to Lu Ye.
"Then, tell me why you are here, messenger of Arceus."
Citron and Serena knew about Teacher Lu's identity for the first time, and looked at Teacher Lu in shock.
Lu Ye looked at Xerneas, put his hand on his chest, and said politely:
"I received a prophecy from Arceus to retrieve from you the fairy tablet he left behind, Xerneas."
To Teacher Lu's expectation, Xerneas looked hesitant and then shook his head.
"Sorry, I can't return the Fairy Slate yet."
Xerneas raised his slender neck, and his kind eyes fell on the vibrant forest, but it was also covered with a layer of gloom.
"In the depths of the forest, the god is about to awaken. I need the power of the Fairy Slate to fight against him."
Lu Ye can also understand.
Compared to the God of Death, the God of Life is not good at fighting and shares a large amount of life energy. He must use the Fairy Slate to fight against his old rival.
Xerneas said:
"As compensation, messenger of Arceus, I will teach your fairy Eevee..."
The earth controls what has not yet been spoken.
Boom!!
Deep in the forest, a violent explosion suddenly occurred, and a shrill, high-pitched cry pierced the sky!
Xiaozhi turned his head and looked towards the sky, only to see a big black-red bird as black as ink, spreading its wings that could cover the sky and the sun, and chirping!
Xerneas' eyes were serious.
"Yveltal, wake up."
The blood-red dark aura shrouded the center of the forest, constantly eroding the surrounding fairy auras. Pokémon that could not retreat were directly petrified, and the lush trees withered instantly under the dark aura!
Dawu frowned.
If there are natural disasters such as floods or skyfires, trainers still have room to respond.
In the dark aura of petrification and deprivation of life, humans have no means to fight against Yveltal!
"You have to fight him outside the dark aura!" Daiwu said.
Xerneas was worried, and suddenly heard the black-haired young man beside him calling:
"Xerneas."
Xerneas' worried eyes met the stern eyes of the black-haired young man.
Lu Ye put on the bracelet, and the dark evil Z glowed faintly.
"If I help you defeat Yveltar...can I return the Fairy Slate, right?" Luye said in a solemn voice.
