Chapter 285 The whereabouts of the life gem

Chapter 285 The whereabouts of the life gem

That night, Zhou You went to Mitina in the Sinnoh region with the Black and White Dragon, and took advantage of the night to look for the Life Gem, which was made by the Alpaca clone who took five stone slabs.

However, until dawn, he could not find any trace of the Life Gem. Even when he asked Reshiram and Zekrom, who had strong mental power and perception, they also did not sense the trace of the Life Gem in the temple or underground.

It seems that reality may not correspond to the theater version one by one. After all, the theater version itself is just a parallel world of the TV version...

In desperation, Zhou You had to fly back to the Azure Highlands before dawn.

On the way back, Zhou You kept recalling the plot of the theater version of Overcoming Time and Space.

If his almost disappearing impression was correct, the real Life Gem should be inside the temple, and it was taken by Team Rocket (Musashi) in the process?

Later, Xiaozhi traveled through time and space, went back to the past to snatch the gem from the villain, and returned it to the alpaca... The gem in the hands of Team Rocket was not mentioned again, most likely it disappeared with the timeline after the self-correction of time and space.

"Is there no life gem, or is it that Xiaozhi's behavior caused a time and space paradox, so that the so-called life gem does not exist during this period of time?"

But this does not seem to make sense logically.

Assuming that the life gem does exist, where would it be during this period of time, and who took it to where?

Zhou You subconsciously made an assumption that should be impossible...

...

In the Azure Highlands, everything is thriving.

When Zhou You returned, Keldeo, who had been missing for most of the day, had also returned to the camp at this time, but compared to the high spirits before leaving, it seemed to be wilted at this time.

"Keldeo, why are you so depressed? Did you fail in your chivalry?" Zhou You looked at the other party curiously. Why did it change so much after not seeing it for so long?

Keldeo remained silent upon hearing this, lying on the ground with his head buried in the grass.

Arthur, who stayed behind with other elves to watch the house, explained the details with a speechless face.

In short, the elves on the island not only did not recognize Keldeo's help, but almost all of them rejected it, which made it very frustrated.

And the reason for this situation...

"You let the elves with predatory relationships live in harmony, let the elves with territorial disputes share food, and let the elves that reproduce rapidly curb the birth rate?"

Psychopath, it's a good nature for others not to beat you!

As if hearing Zhou You's voice, Arthur stretched out his claws and patted his shoulder, and then pointed to Keldeo's injured hind limbs and tail.

Well, it seems that it has been beaten.

"Keldeo, why did you do this? Didn't you say that you should learn from Gopalion and others?"

Zhou You's poor language system can no longer find more descriptions to describe the outrageousness of the little water horse. He is very curious about what kind of mental state the other party is in to do such a thing.

"I'm just learning. I'm sure that's what Gopalion did!" Keldeo said stubbornly, "Even if they do it a little differently from me, the purpose is definitely the same."

While protecting the elves from human harm, the holy swordsmen often mediate conflicts between the various elf tribes.

"The problem is this method, Keldeo, you are too impatient and too naive."

Zhou You shook his head and handed him a piece of star peach fruit that was left over from yesterday and refrigerated. He said seriously: "Although you are indeed kind-hearted, there are many conflicts in this world that are difficult or even irreconcilable. Other elves also have their own moods and ideas. If you want them to listen to you..."

"Then what should I do?" Keldeo raised his head and took the star peach fruit slice handed by Zhou You, "Thank you, it's delicious."

Zhou You was silent for a moment before explaining: "Then you must have credibility and persuasiveness that no one can refute, and be down-to-earth and start from reality."

"What do you mean?" Keldeo was puzzled.

"It means that you can't just tell them what to do, you have to tell them how to do it and why, and make those elves realize that the approach you propose is more profitable for them."

Even if you are an elf from Unova, you can't be like a white leftist.

However, Zhou You didn't intend to explain it to Keldeo in detail, but directly handed it a large box of energy cubes:

"For elves, food is the most basic universal equivalent. Next time you go to negotiate with other elves, you can try to attract them with food."

"Using food and benefits to tempt them, can this still be considered righteousness?" Keldeo felt that this seemed to be wrong.

Zhou You shook his head, it is better to guide with benefits than to coerce with violence.

"Humans have a saying that when the granaries are full, they know etiquette, and when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace. The richness of the spiritual world must first be built on a material foundation. Anyway, you try it first, as long as there is no bloodshed, I will cover it for you."

Keldeo felt that it seemed to make sense, so he left the camp again with the energy cubes.

…

Near noon, Eden, Leftovers, and Leafeon, who had been out exploring the island, returned to the camp.

“Qiao Qiao, we found something very strange.” As soon as he came back, Eden said with a puzzled look on his face, “The topography of this island is not natural at all, and there are many contradictions.”

Regardless of the fact that a towering cliff cuts off the east and west sides of Azure Island, it may just be a coincidence that the terrain in the west is rich enough for most types of elves to survive, but the biggest problem lies in the water resources near Azure Highlands.

"Qiaoqiao, the place we are staying at can be said to be the highest highland on Azure Island. There is no groundwater flowing through this island on the island surrounded by the sea. But why does the water level of the lake near us not change due to the difference in terrain? disappear, or even have enough water to form two waterfalls on Route 47?”

After autumn, it is no longer the rainy season. Normally, the lake water in the highlands without rainwater should only fall and dry up... How can it form a large waterfall?

※Although in a few cases waterfalls may appear on the island, and even underwater waterfalls may appear.

This can no longer be said to simply violate the laws of nature/physics, it is simply like magic.

After listening to Eden and Ye Yibu describing their doubts, Zhou You nodded seriously and said: "It seems that you have finally realized this. Yes, if nothing else happens, Zhanlan Island should be an island that relies on the power of super ancient elves. An artificial island was formed recently, and its secret may be hidden in the ancient ruins in the mountains southwest of Route 47.”
