Chapter 556 She is clearly an auspicious omen!
Li Shuwen placed the fairy on the ground and said with a smile, "Go and receive the gift the ice fairy has prepared for you."
The fairy sprite quickly ran to the side of the ice sprite whose face was slightly flushed.
He was also very much looking forward to seeing what gift the Ice Fairy had prepared for him.
The ice sprite was trying to mentally prepare itself when the fairy sprite approached it, looking at it with confusion.
Why is your face so red?
The fairy elf even stretched out a ribbon to check the temperature of the ice elf's forehead.
He kept muttering to himself, "Wasn't his fight just now cool?"
"Buyi?"
The fairy winked. The ice fairy said she was going to prepare a gift for him, but he didn't see anything.
The ice fairy finally mustered up her courage and kissed the fairy fairy on the cheek.
Then, shyly, she turned around, jumped into the bushes, and disappeared.
Li Shuwen and Cynthia exchanged a glance and simultaneously smiled like doting aunts.
Zoroark shook his head. "Fairy, what are you waiting for? Chase after them!"
The fairy didn't realize at first. He asked the ice fairy for a gift, and the ice fairy kissed him. Why?
Zoroark continued, "You still haven't figured out what the gift is, have you?"
Soroark was truly exasperated.
The fairy sprite then seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly chased after the ice sprite in the direction it had gone.
So, the ice fairy likes him!
As the fairy chased after him, she asked herself a question and realized that he also liked the ice fairy.
I used to think Eevee was silly, but now that it evolves into Glaceon and Sylveon, I can feel its charm and presence.
Without realizing it, he had also fallen in love with this aloof ice sprite.
During the time the fairy spirits were training, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon found a way to chain its body and increase muscle density.
Gallade also successfully learned Rock Axe from Scizor.
The Golem and the Greatsword Demon spent an incredibly wonderful holiday in the lush, verdant environment of the Misty Forest.
The Greatsword Demon, in particular, wandered around the Misty Forest.
Samurai has fought almost all the powerful Pokémon that live in various places.
Even several matches.
Because the fairy elf was learning from the moon elf leader, the greatsword demon didn't come looking for her.
But the Greatsword Demon had been to the Fairy Elf Leader's place once.
After discovering that the Sylveon leader was a Pokémon with an even weaker sense of conviction than itself, Sharpey turned to seeking out other, more worthy opponents to battle.
At the summit of the Heavenly Crown, the Greatsword Demon's greatest takeaway was learning to wield his sword with willpower.
With the support of an invisible force, the tangible blade becomes even stronger and sharper!
The Greatsword's strength increased rapidly, and if Gallade didn't use Teleport Slash, it would soon be unable to suppress the Greatsword.
Nianmei Lulong also benefited somewhat, and with Wusi's help, he strengthened his foundation and cultivated his vitality.
Gain stronger defense and longer stamina.
Li Shuwen's waveguide power told him that they could no longer stay in the Misty Forest for too long.
Leaving when the time runs out will affect the interval between your next entry into the Misty Forest.
Therefore, Li Shuwen and Xilona went to say goodbye to Wusi.
Before leaving, Li Shuwen did not forget to ask Wu Si about Misty Island and Dragon Island.
The mist in the Misty Forest is indeed a manifestation of the power of space and time.
In ancient times, these two forces were not entirely unusable by humankind.
Therefore, unique landforms like Misty Island and Dragon Island are actually quite common throughout the world.
Some incredibly audacious individuals even created a mirror world.
Of course, such behavior is easily punished by Dialga and Palkia, so those clever talents...
The created mirror world will only appear or be formed at special times.
Anyway, the time is very short. For example, in the Carlos region, there is a mirror world where dawn is born and dusk disappears.
If you accidentally enter this mirror world, you'll have to wait a year to get out.
This is almost identical to the special rule of Misty Island: enter on September 9th and leave on October 10th; if you miss it, you have to wait a whole year.
However, the rules of Misty Island are not entirely insurmountable.
For example, Gallade's Instant Slash, if it could be further improved, might be able to cut through space.
Even if Li Shuwen is imprisoned on Misty Island, he can still open a spatial passage to get out on his own.
However, this timeframe might not be faster than Li Shuwen waiting until September 9th of the following year to leave.
If Li Shuwen is trapped inside and can't get out, Wu Si asked Xilona to notify her, and she could help bring Li Shuwen back.
It shouldn't be so bad that the young couple has to live apart for a year before they're even married.
After leaving the Misty Forest, Li Shuwen and Cynthia's reactions were not as obvious as last time, clearly indicating that their bodies were also adapting to the influence of the spacetime forces.
Back at the Mustard Research Institute, Li Shuwen began planning to go to Lavender Town and enter the Spirit Bone Tower to improve Gengar's combat power.
Cynthia shook her head. "You've only been in this position for a short time, and you've already gone from being diligent and conscientious to being inconsistent and unproductive?"
Li Shuwen: "..."
He didn't really want to do this, but to challenge the Elite Four, he needed to go to these important occasions to enhance the power of his Pokémon.
"When the spirit bone tower is demolished, the ghostly power contained within for thousands of years will also dissipate. If I miss this opportunity, I won't be able to wait another thousand years."
Cynthia nodded in agreement. "The decision by Lavender Town to demolish the Spirit Bone Tower is probably also because there was too much ghost energy accumulated inside."
"I'm afraid that if this continues, it will have a negative impact on the residents of Ziyuan Town."
Dr. Mustard brought over a plate of fruit, sighed, and said, "So many cultural relics from so many years ago, just like that, being demolished."
"It's because Team Rocket is inhumane, harming Pokémon in the Spirit Tower, which is already quite unstable."
"Inside is enshrined a powerful vengeful spirit created by war a thousand years ago, which had almost fallen into a deep slumber."
"But the Rockets' actions replenished the vengeful spirits with new resentment, causing them to awaken and continuously absorb power, showing signs of impending disaster."
"Unlike back then, when we could find a sorcerer to purify vengeful spirits, the Kanto Alliance has concluded that physical purification is the only option."
"Destroy the spirit tower, and then send out Agatha, who is best at using Ghost-type Pokémon, to deal with the vengeful spirit."
"As for the information you received, it should be that they deliberately let you energetic young people go in first in order to deplete the power of the vengeful spirits."
"To weaken the power of the vengeful spirit."
Cynthia frowned slightly. "Isn't the Kanto League worried that these trainers will cause trouble by using them like this?"
Dr. Mustard shook his head. "Whatever those trainers did, it was a good thing for the dismantling of the Spirit Bone Tower."
"I heard that not only Kikuko, but also Elite Four member Lorelei, Lt. Surge, and Blaine will be involved in this operation."
Li Shuwen said, "I think that trainers who can get the qualification to enter the Spirit Bone Tower at this time are all quite strong."
"And stupid people shouldn't be able to get in."
Cynthia squinted. "I'll go with you to take a look. It just so happens that the Rockruff thinks he hasn't been exercising properly in a long time."
This operation has both Natsume and Knabe!
How could Cynthia possibly let Li Shuwen go alone?
With someone as outstanding as Li Shuwen, and both Natsume and Kona being single, Cynthia definitely has to keep an eye on Li Shuwen.
Originally, Cynthia planned to finish her work and then go to Ziyuan Town separately with Li Shuwen.
But now, Cynthia plans to cancel all the jobs she can.
Let's go with Li Shuwen!
Li Shuwen nodded, "Okay, then we'll meet in Zhuqing City and fly to Ziyuan Town."
Although he wasn't away for long this time, Li Shuwen still had to go back and honestly serve as the curator for two days.
I also attended a trainer forum lecture in Veilstone City.
Cynthia also needs to return to the League to finish up the remaining work.
Before leaving, Li Shuwen used ingredients from Cynthia's house to make eighteen kinds of ice cream for her.
The two of them sat on a swing in the backyard.
Cynthia scooped up a spoonful and put it in her own mouth, then scooped up another spoonful and put it in Li Shuwen's mouth, "You try some too."
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "It's sweet. The ice cream you fed me yourself is even sweeter."
It wasn't until the afternoon that Li Shuwen prepared to return to Weimu City. The two said their goodbyes with lingering affection and reluctance.
Millerton was helpless and could only lower his head and pretend to be asleep and not see.
After an unknown amount of time, Milton heard Li Shuwen call him, "Open your eyes, Milton, it's time to go home."
Milton suddenly flicked his tail, and he actually fell asleep!
How long have these two been inseparable?!
Millerton glanced at the sky and realized that by the time he flew back to Veil City, it would be dark.
Trainers who challenge the Veiled Gym are all quite ordinary.
It was only when Li Shuwen attended the Trainer Forum lecture that he discovered a problem: the lecture was actually about Bug-type Pokémon!
Even if he's a Fighting Gym Leader and skilled in using the Aerial Ace, he shouldn't be allowed to participate in a Bug-type Pokémon lecture!
He was also asked to share his experience in raising Bug-type Pokémon with the trainers in the audience.
To be honest, the only Bug-type Pokémon data Li Shuwen has ever come across is probably Heracross.
If we start with Heracross, Li Shuwen actually has something to say.
Fortunately, most Bug-type Pokémon are relatively weak.
From the perspective of building muscle and strengthening bones, this can be considered a minor enhancement to the insect attribute.
Currently, the term "strong bones" for insect-type creatures refers to the carapace covering their bodies.
Although only a few hours remained, Li Shuwen still tried his best to research Bug-type Pokémon and summarize a general direction.
After all, this is a lecture, and Li Shuwen only needs to give a general overview so that the trainers in the audience can get some inspiration.
But Li Shuwen didn't expect there to be a young man in the audience.
He looks young, but he's actually an expert in insect-related fields.
The idea that Li Shuwen had formed by starting with Heracross was then applied to Dracovish.
And it has taken a big step forward.
Li Shuwen blinked. Just from hearing such a vague statement, this boy had already thought of so much.
Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Are you a Bug-type trainer?"
The green-haired boy nodded. "I really like Bug-type Pokémon, so I've done a lot of research on them."
This is far beyond what you'd call "some"; it's at the level of an expert.
Li Shuwen praised, "You have great talent, you must keep it up."
Everyone looked at the boy in surprise. To gain the approval of the Midas Touch, this boy had a promising future.
The boy nodded excitedly, "Yes, I am A-Liu from Baiye Town. I will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of the Library Master."
Ah Liu?
The future Bug-type Elite Four member, A-Liu, is that A-Liu?
After the lecture, Li Shuwen found A Liu and asked him, "Why didn't you challenge the Veiled Dojo?"
Ah Liu was a little conflicted. "I feel that my strength is not enough yet, and I plan to become stronger before taking on the challenge."
Li Shuwen patted A Liu on the shoulder, "Don't be too proud of yourself. I have something to do in a few days. When I get back, I hope to see you come and challenge me."
"Is there a problem?"
Ah Liu took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and nodded. "No problem!"
Ah Liu is not even fourteen years old, and she is a bit timid.
Even if he becomes one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, A-Liu's personality will not change much.
It wasn't until he met Ash and retrieved Wurmple, the starter Pokémon that Arugal had once abandoned, that Arugal truly built up his confidence.
Perhaps, when he returns, he can help find the hunting swallowtail butterfly.
Of course, we'll have to wait for A-Liu to tell him about what happened in the past.
Even Li Fei wasn't brought along this time; Li Shuwen wanted to have some alone time with Cynthia.
Of course, even if Li Fei were to be brought along, he wouldn't go.
Why go to a columbarium? Driving a Jeep at home is much more fun.
When Li Shuwen arrived at Zhuqing City Airport, Cynthia suddenly appeared behind him, covered his eyes with her hand, and said, "Guess who I am?"
Li Shuwen's lips curled into a smile, "A Garchomp that can't use Dragon Dance??"
Cynthia pouted, "You did that on purpose, didn't you!"
Li Shuwen pulled Cynthia into his arms, smiling as he said, "Oh dear, you guessed wrong, it's my husband!"
Cynthia's little fists kept pounding on Li Shuwen's chest.
The two played and joked around before boarding the plane bound for Ziyuan Town.
Upon arriving in Lavender Town, Cynthia found that the environment of the Spirit Tower was not much different from when she had visited Lavender Town before.
At the entrance of the columbarium, an old woman was sitting on a bench, basking in the sun.
Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "It's Kikuko, let's go say hello."
Seeing Cynthia and Li Shuwen, Kikuko smiled and said, "It's you two. Looks like I won't have to go through all that trouble this time."
The vengeful spirit was sealed on the fifth floor, but the area open to trainers only extends up to the fourth floor.
Even if they cause trouble, it won't have a significant impact on the situation.
Their antics on the fourth floor actually helped to disperse the power of the vengeful spirits.
Cynthia asked curiously, "Grandma Kikuko, is that vengeful spirit very powerful?"
Kikuko sighed and said, "That was a nine-tailed fox spirit. The Kanto region used to be an area ruled by an entire dynasty."
"As a result, because of that nine-tailed fox spirit, the king was bewitched, leading to the collapse of the dynasty. The last king even shamelessly claimed that the fox spirit was an auspicious omen."
"Although the mage killed the mischievous fox demon, its soul and resentment scattered into many pieces, turning into evil spirits that continued to wreak havoc. Finally, the mage sealed it in the Spirit Bone Tower."
