Chapter 724: The Fairy Atmosphere of Xerneas (33)
Wednesday, September 15th.
The ship sailed on the river, and a pleasant breeze blew towards us.
"The Forest of Oruans is ahead," Daigo said.
AZ put his hands on the railing, his eyes flashing with a trace of reminiscence.
“It’s been a great pleasure traveling with you all.”
Diancie smiled faintly and said, "Including last night's camping, Yurika, I will never forget it."
"Are you going to leave after meeting Xerneas, Diancie?" Xiaozhi said regretfully.
"Well, I have to go back to my country."
Diancie said seriously, "But there will definitely be a chance for us to meet again!"
"Where exactly is the mineral kingdom?" Daigo asked with a hint of curiosity.
Diancie said proudly: "The entire underground mineral vein of Kalos belongs to the territory of the Mineral Kingdom."
"But..." Diancie sighed, "Because of the depletion of sacred diamonds, several veins have lost contact with the sacred ore."
"After we meet Xerneas, we can build a mine to Miare City."
Yurika's eyes sparkled: "This way, I can play with Diancie more often~"
“No problem.” Diancie smiled, “Because, we are friends, Yurika!”
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Build a mine to Miare City? We need to find a way to trick Diancie back to the coffee shop and let her turn the underground of the courtyard into a diamond mine!
The diamond mines here certainly do not refer to "small broken diamonds", but diamonds of extremely high hardness, the kind that can improve Bangilas' physical fitness when fed to him.
The premise is to help Diancie save her country.
Lu Ye's eyes glowed.
In this way, returning a diamond mine should be no problem!
Another half hour's journey passed.
The ship docked and the group walked deeper into the forest.
The outer part of the forest is lush and green, but the core area is a withered and dead land, presenting a strange landscape of concentric circles.
As soon as he stepped into the forest, Teacher Lu felt the strong reaction of the super-power, and the radar-like white beam scanned out eye-catching light spots.
Lu Ye had a complicated expression.
All it takes is "The Fairy Slate is here, come and get it quickly" to be written on his face!
Xerneas's habitat is deep in the forest, and it is said that he appears in the form of a "seven-colored tree".
So, the group followed the rainbow light, passed through roaring and splashing waterfalls, deep and dense forests, and arrived at an altar with singing birds and fragrant 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 the wise king and used their power to create the ultimate weapon, knowing that they would never forgive him.
And where he was going was to the other end of the forest, in the hope of falling into an eternal sleep in the river of the cocoon of destruction.
"I'll wait for you outside." AZ said, "Teacher Lu..., goodbye now."
Lu Ye looked at AZ in surprise.
Seeing the determined look under his white hair, Lu Ye warned: "Don't do anything stupid, I will be back soon."
For the Fairy Slate, Lu Ye must negotiate with Xerneas in person.
Teacher Lu didn’t know what AZ meant to these two gods.
But one thing is clear, even the mild-tempered X-deer would not be willing to see AZ.
AZ's facial muscles twitched: "I will...Mr. Lu."
Lu Ye shuddered. It felt uncomfortable to be called "teacher" by a thousand-year-old monster.
Although King Portlandis once thought that he was a wave hero of the same era as him...
Lu Ye waved his hand casually and led Diancie to the deep path behind the altar: "Come on, Diancie, follow me."
"Okay, Mr. Lu Ye." Diancie jumped and followed Lu Ye's steps.
Daigo signaled with his eyes for Satoshi and his friends to follow, then nodded slightly to AZ.
Looking at the disappearing backs of the group of people.
AZ looked up at the sky. Hazy beams of light passed through the gaps between the trees, casting mottled light and shadows. The surroundings were filled with birdsong and flowers, and full of vitality.
“It’s so beautiful…”
AZ muttered to himself, feeling sadness welling up in his heart, but it was not regret for his choice.
For three thousand years, AZ has repeatedly questioned himself whether he would risk the destruction of the kingdom to revive Huayedi.
The answer is yes.
Even though the disappointed Eternal Flower left him, AZ never hesitated.
The tall man turned and walked towards the other end of the forest.
It was a dead place with withered grass and dried rivers.
In the center of the dead land, in the dark spring water, a cocoon as dark as night, was beating like a heartbeat, and gradually waking up...
…
The forest is covered with mottled shadows of trees, shrouded in a hazy mist, and filled with colorful lights.
Lu Ye and Diancie headed in the direction of Rainbow.
"Mr. Lu Ye, Mr. Lu Ye?" Dianxi called softly.
"What's wrong."
"Are you short of money?" Diancie asked seriously.
"Ahem... who told you that?"
"Because you've been whispering about diamonds and stuff like that." Diancie's face was full of innocence.
Lu Ye scratched his cheek awkwardly.
Teacher Lu was just thinking about how to ask for a diamond mine for Bangilas without seeming to be asking for too much.
At this moment, under the innocent gaze of Diancie, Mr. Lu felt that his conscience was condemned...
"Sorry." Lu Ye said decisively: "Money is always not enough, but it's no big deal."
Because I have a rich woman from Sirona! "If you want diamonds, I can give you one."
Diancie blinked her clear eyes, spread her hands, and handed the pink diamond to Lu Ye. "But it will dissipate once the energy is used up... So don't be too sad at that time."
Teacher Lu was deeply moved by Princess Diancie's kindness. He wanted to touch Diancie's head, but he withdrew his hand and smiled:
"Thank you, Diancie. I'll take it."
"Koujie~" Gengar floated over from the side.
Lu Ye's face changed, and he quickly hid the pink diamond in his pocket: "Don't lick this!"
Diancie covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Lu Ye, and Gengar are also very good friends."
“This is called a bond.”
Lu Ye let Gengar lick him, forcibly resisting the paralysis, and said calmly: "Bonds can remove paralysis."
“Bond…so powerful!” Diancie opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Daigo: “…”
The one that can remove paralysis through bondage is a Pokémon!
How can a trainer remove paralysis by relying on bonds?
While chatting, the colorful light became even more crystal clear.
In an open space in the woods, the colorful trees are very eye-catching.
The colorful branches extend in all directions, with abundant life energy surging between them. The dark blue trunks flicker with flickering green crystal light, and the energy of the earth flows from the roots to the tree body.
"So beautiful..." Yurika whispered.
“I feel… a fairy atmosphere.” Diancie closed her eyes slightly.
Lu Ye took out the Poké Ball. The aura here was of great help to Sylveon.
"Buee!" Fairy Eevee looked at the tree with her round blue eyes and bared her teeth slightly.
I saw the 'tree trunk' suddenly rise from the ground.
The black roots exposed on the ground form the sturdy limbs of an elk, and the blue trunk becomes His slender neck.
Xerneas had a colorful branch of life above his head, and he looked at Lu Ye, Diancie and the others with a gentle gaze.
"Big tree, turned into a colorful deer?" Xiaozhi scratched his head.
"It's really Xerneas!" Citron said in shock.
Daigo was filled with emotion. He never expected that he would actually see the legendary God of Life, Xerneas.
Traveling with Mr. Lu... you can always see legendary Pokémon that are hard to see on weekdays!
Diancie jumped forward, her eyes worried, her hands covering her chest: "Xerneas, I beg you to give me your help so that I can save my kingdom and my people!"
A trace of reminiscence flashed across Xerneas's eyes.
Three thousand years ago, a human had said the same words to Him, and that betrayal caused Xerneas to fall into a three thousand year sleep.
At this moment, Xerneas' eyes met Diancie's and he chose to trust her again.
"I already know your intentions."
Xerneas's gentle telepathy echoed in everyone's hearts.
"The so-called fairy atmosphere is the aura of surging life energy. It is also my gift."
The colorful branches above Xerneas' head glowed with rainbow light, becoming even more dazzling. The light bloomed in the forest, and His form switched from 'relaxation mode' to 'active mode'.
Under the cover of this light, Diancie closed her eyes lightly, and Sylveon also sensed a different kind of energy.
Teacher Lu nodded gently to Fairy Eevee, and the little guy closed his eyes and felt at ease.
Lu Ye looked at Xerneas who was sharing his life energy, and felt deeply moved.
Of all the gods, Xerneas is one of the most talkative.
Bathed in the fairy aura, Sylveon, whose level had stagnated for a long time, officially became a champion-level fighter.
This doesn't even include the bonus from the Fairy Slate...
This trip brought me unexpected gains!
The colorful light faded, and Xerneas looked at Diancie with a gentle gaze.
Diancie tried to gather the diamonds but still failed, so Serena and Yurika rushed to comfort her.
Xerneas didn't delve into it further. He had done what he was supposed to do and looked at Lu Ye.
"Then tell me your purpose, messenger of Arceus."
It was the first time that Xitron and Serena knew Teacher Lu’s identity and looked at him in shock.
Lu Ye looked at Xerneas, put his hand on his chest, and said politely:
"I received a warning from Arceus to retrieve the fairy tablet he left behind from you, Xerneas."
To Mr. Lu's surprise, Xerneas hesitated and then shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but I can't return the fairy slate just yet."
Xerneas raised his slender neck and cast a kind gaze upon the forest full of life, but it was shrouded in a layer of haze.
"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 could also understand.
Compared with the God of Death, the God of Life is not good at fighting, and he shares a lot of life energy. He must rely on the fairy slate to fight against his old rival.
Xerneas said:
"As compensation, Arceus's messenger, I will teach your Fairy Eevee..."
The earth controls, yet to be spoken.
Boom! !
Deep in the forest, there was a sudden and violent explosion, and the piercing and high-pitched cries of birds pierced the sky!
Xiaozhi turned his head and looked up at the sky, only to see a huge black and red bird as black as ink, spreading its wings that covered the sky and screaming!
Xerneas's eyes were solemn.
"Yveltal has awakened."
A blood-red dark aura enveloped the center of the forest, constantly eroding the fairy auras around it. The Pokémon that were unable to retreat in time were directly petrified, and the lush trees withered instantly under the dark aura!
Daigo frowned.
If a trainer encounters a natural disaster such as a flood or a fire, he still has room to react.
In the dark aura of petrification and deprivation of life, humans have no means to fight against Yveltal at all!
"We have to fight Him outside the dark aura!" Daigo said.
Xerneas was worried, when he suddenly heard the black-haired young man beside him calling out, "Xerneas."
Xerneas's worried eyes met the black-haired young man's stern gaze.
Lu Ye put on the bracelet, and his dark evil spirit emitted a faint glow.
"If I help you defeat Yveltal... I can return the fairy slate, right?" Lu Ye said in a serious tone.
Xerneas looked surprised and nodded slightly.
