September 15th, Wednesday.
The ship sailed on the river, and a pleasant breeze greeted them.
"The Forest of Oluanse is just ahead," Daigo said.
AZ put his hand on the railing, and a trace of reminiscence flashed through his eyes.
"It was a very happy trip with everyone," Diancy said with a smile.
"Including last night's camping, Olika. I'll never forget it."
"Are you going to leave after you see Gernias, Diancy?" Xiaozhi said regretfully.
"Yes, I have to go back to my country."
Diancy said seriously, "But we will definitely have a chance to meet again!"
"Where is the Mineral Country?" Daigo was a little curious.
Diancy said proudly, "The entire underground mineral veins of Carlos are the territory of the Mineral Country."
"But …" Diancy sighed softly. "Because of the depletion of the sacred diamonds, several mineral veins have lost contact with the sacred ores."
"After we see Gernias, we can build a mineral vein to Miale City."
Diancy's eyes lit up. "Then I can play with Diancy more often."
"No problem." Diancy smiled. "Because we are friends, Diancy!"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Build a mineral vein to Miale City?
He had to find a way to trick Diancy into going back to the coffee shop and let her turn the underground of the courtyard into a diamond mine!
Of course, the diamond mine here did not refer to "small broken diamonds," but diamonds with superior hardness, the kind that could improve the physical fitness of Banjiras.
The premise was to help Diancy save her country.
Lu Ye's eyes lit up.
In this way, it should not be a problem to repay a diamond mine!
After another half an hour of travel.
The ship docked, and the group walked into the depths of the forest.
The periphery of the forest was lush, but the core area was a withered and dead land, presenting a strange landscape of concentric circles.
As soon as they stepped into the forest, Mr. Lu felt a strong reaction of the super-cloning power, and the radar-like white beam scanned the area with eye-catching light spots.
Lu Ye had a complicated look on his face.
He almost wrote "The Fairy Slate is with me. Come and get it!" on his face!
Gernias' habitat was located in the depths of the forest. Legend had it that he would appear in the form of a 'Rainbow Tree'.
Therefore, the group of people followed the rainbow radiance and passed through the roaring and splashing waterfall and the deep and dense forest before they arrived at an altar that was filled with the fragrance of flowers and birdsong.
AZ stopped and said in a hoarse voice,
"Farewell, Deanna."
"Will you not go with me to Gernias?" asked Deancy, turning round.
"No, thanks." AZ smiled.
AZ had once deceived them in the name of the Sage King and used their power to create the final weapon. He knew very well that they would not forgive him.
What he wanted to do was head to the other end of the forest, hoping to fall into an eternal slumber in the river of the cocoon of destruction.
"I'll wait for you guys outside," AZ said. "Teacher … Lu, goodbye."
Lu Ye looked at AZ in surprise.
Seeing the determination in his eyes under his white hair, Lu Ye warned, "Don't do anything stupid. I'll be back soon."
For the sake of the Fairy Slate, Lu Ye had to personally negotiate with Gernias.
Mr. Lu didn't know what AZ meant to these two gods.
But one thing was obvious. Even the mild-tempered X wouldn't be willing to see AZ.
The muscles on AZ's face twitched. "I will … Mr. Lu."
Lu Ye shuddered. It didn't feel good to be called "teacher" by an old monster who had lived for thousands of years.
Although the King of Portlandia had once thought that he was the Wave Guide Hero of the same era as him …
Lu Ye waved his hand casually and led Deancy to the deep path behind the altar. "Let's go, Deancy. Follow me."
"Okay, Mr. Lu Ye." Deancy jumped and followed Lu Ye's footsteps.
Daigo signaled with his eyes for Xiaozhi and the others to follow. Then, he nodded gently to AZ.
He looked at the disappearing figures of the group.
AZ looked up at the sky. Hazy beams of light passed through the gaps in the shade of the trees, sprinkling mottled light and shadows. The surroundings were full of vitality.
"So beautiful …"
AZ muttered to himself. Sadness welled up in his heart, but it wasn't regret for his choice.
For three thousand years, AZ had constantly questioned himself whether he would risk the destruction of the kingdom to revive Flower Leaf Stem.
The answer was yes.
Even if the disappointed Flower of Eternity left him because of this, AZ had never hesitated.
The tall man turned and walked to the other end of the forest.
It was a dead land where the vegetation had withered and the river had dried up.
In the center of the dead land, in the pitch-black spring water, a dark cocoon was beating like a heartbeat, gradually awakening …
…
The shadows of the trees in the forest were mottled, hazy mist lingered, and colorful light sprinkled down.
Lu Ye and Deancy moved in the direction of the rainbow.
"Mr. Lu Ye, Mr. Lu Ye?" Deancy called in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you in need of money?" asked Deanna earnestly.
"Ahem … Who told you?"
"Because you've been whispering something about diamonds since just now." Deancy's face was full of innocence.
Lu Ye scratched his cheek awkwardly.
Mr. Lu was just thinking about how to get a diamond mine for Bankyras without seeming greedy.
At this moment, under Deancy's innocent gaze, Mr. Lu felt that his conscience was being condemned …
"Sorry," Lu Ye said decisively, "I've never had enough money, but it's no big deal."
Because I have Sirona, a rich woman!
"If you want a diamond, I can give you one."
Deancy blinked her clear eyes, spread out her small hand, 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."
Mr. Lu was deeply touched by Princess Deancy's kindness. He wanted to touch Deancy's head, but he withdrew his hand and smiled.
"Thank you, Deancy. I'll take it."
"Kouge ~" Geng Gui floated over from the side.
Lu Ye's expression changed, and he hurriedly hid the pink diamond in his pocket. "Don't lick this!"
Deancy covered her mouth and smiled. "Mr. Lu Ye and Geng Gui are very good friends."
"This is called a bond."
Lu Ye allowed Geng Gui to lick him with his tongue. He forcefully resisted the numbness and calmly said,
"A bond can relieve paralysis."
"A bond … That's amazing!" Deancy's eyes widened in disbelief.
Daigo: "…"
Pokémon were the ones that relied on fetters to relieve their paralysis!
No trainer could relieve paralysis with a bond!
As they chatted, the colorful light became even more dazzling.
In an open space in the forest, a colorful tree was extremely eye-catching.
The colorful tree branches stretched out in all directions, and there was abundant life energy surging between them. The dark blue trunk flickered with green light, and the energy of the earth flowed from the roots to the trunk.
"It's so beautiful …" Zulika whispered.
"I can feel … the fairy's aura." Deancy closed her eyes gently.
Lu Ye took out the pokeball. The aura here was of great help to Fairy Ibu.
"Boo!" Fairy Ibu's blue round eyes stared at the trunk and slightly bared her teeth.
The 'trunk' suddenly rose from the ground.
Black roots were exposed on the ground, forming the strong limbs of an elk, and the blue trunk became its slender neck.
The colorful branches of the Tree of Life above Gernias' head gently looked at Lu Ye, Deancy, and the others.
"The tree turned into a colorful deer?" Xiaozhi scratched his head.
"It's really Gernias!" Citron exclaimed in shock.
Daigo sighed in his heart. He didn't expect to see the legendary God of Life, Gernias.
Traveling with Mr. Lu … he could always see legendary Pokémon that were hard to see on normal days!
Deancy jumped forward with a worried look and covered her chest with her hand.
"Gernias, please give me your help so that I can save my kingdom and my people!"
A trace of reminiscence flashed past Gernias' eyes.
Three thousand years ago, a human had said the same thing to him. That betrayal caused Gernias to fall into a deep sleep for three thousand years.
At this moment, Gernias' eyes met with Deancy's, and he chose to trust her again.
"I already know why you're here. "
Gernias' gentle telepathy sounded in everyone's hearts.
"The so-called fairy's aura is the surging life energy, and it is also my gift. "
The colorful tree branch above Gernias' head bloomed with colorful light and became even more dazzling. The light bloomed in the forest, and his form switched from "relaxed mode" to "active mode."
Under the cover of this light, Deancy closed her eyes gently, and Fairy Ibu also felt a different kind of energy.
Mr. Lu nodded gently at Fairy Ibu, and the little fellow closed her eyes to feel at ease.
Lu Ye looked at Gernias, who was sharing life energy with him, and sighed in his heart.
Among all the gods, Gernias was one of the easiest to talk to.
Bathed in the fairy's aura, Fairy Ibu, whose level had been stagnant for a long time, officially became a champion level combat power.
This didn't include the bonus of the fairy's slate …
There were unexpected gains from this trip!
The colorful light retreated, and Gernias' gentle gaze focused on Deancy.
Deancy tried to gather diamonds, but she still failed. Serena and Julika hurriedly comforted her.
Gernias didn't dwell on it, as he had done what he needed to do, and he looked at Lu Ye.
"Then, tell me why you're here, messenger of Zeus." "
It was the first time Citron and Serena learned of Mr. Lu's identity, and they looked at Mr. Lu in shock.
Lu Ye looked at Gernias, put his hand on his chest, and said politely, "I received a message from Zeus.
"I've received a warning from Zeus to retrieve the Fairy Slate he left behind, Gernias."
To Mr. Lu's surprise, Gernias hesitated, then shook his head.
"Sorry, I can't return the fairy slate for the time being." "
Gernias raised his slender neck, and his kind gaze fell on the forest full of vitality, but it was shrouded in a layer of haze.
"In the depths of the forest, I need to borrow the power of the fairy slate to fight against the god who is about to awaken." "
Lu Ye could understand.
Compared to the God of Death, the God of Life was not good at fighting, and it shared a large amount of life energy. It needed the help of the fairy slate to fight against its old opponent.
Gernias opened his mouth and said,
"As compensation, messenger of Zeus, I'll teach your fairy Ibu …"
Before he could say Earth Control …
Rumble!
In the depths of the forest, there was a sudden violent explosion, and an ear-piercing, high-pitched cry pierced through the sky!
Xiaozhi turned his head to look at the sky, only to see a large black-red bird as black as ink spreading its wings that covered the sky and the sun. It screeched!
Gernias's gaze was solemn.
"Ippeltar has awakened." "
The blood-red Dark Aura shrouded the center of the forest, constantly eroding the surrounding fairy aura. The Pokémon that could not retreat in time were directly petrified, and the lush trees instantly withered under the Dark Aura!
Daigo frowned.
If they encountered natural disasters such as floods or fires, trainers would still have room to react.
In the Dark Aura that petrified and deprived life, humans had no means of fighting against Ippeltar!
"We have to fight him outside the Dark Aura!" Daigo said.
Gernias was worried, but he suddenly heard the black-haired youth beside him call out,
"Gernias."
Gernias's worried gaze met the black-haired youth's piercingly cold gaze.
Lu Ye put on the bracelet, and the ink-black evil Z emitted a faint glow.
"If I help you defeat Ippeltar … you can return the fairy slate, right?" Lu Ye said seriously.
Gernias was surprised and nodded lightly.
