Chapter 964: Sleeping Mushroom → Lampshade Night Mushroom! The Miracle of Life

After lunch, the preparations for the camping were almost complete, and thanks to Liliae, even dinner was prepared in advance.

Mao and Latias took Sweet Dancer deep into the forest to pick fruits.

Shui Lian and Lilia were playing happily beside the clear water, their laughter echoing in the air, as clear and melodious as silver bells. Shui Lian gently splashed water towards Lilia, who dodged with a smile, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Mamane found a shady spot under a tree, took out a comfortable recliner from her backpack, gently unfolded it, and lay down.

He opened a book, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his face full of satisfaction, "Reading a book in the embrace of nature, it seems that I have become more mature and calm!"

At the same time, Ash and Kage were conducting fierce battle training between Catelynx and Infernape not far away!

"Jet flame!" Two loud shouts rang out at the same time. That's right, under the careful teaching of Xiaozhi, the little cat Litten has successfully upgraded the spark into a jet flame.

The fire-spotted cat was shining with dazzling flames, and it let out a childish but powerful cry, followed by a thick column of fire. The Explosive Tortoise was not to be outdone, and a hot column of fire suddenly gushed out.

The two pillars of fire collided violently in the air, instantly bursting out with dazzling light and a loud noise!

However, it only lasted for a moment before Litten's flames were suppressed by Infernape's powerful flames without any resistance. Fortunately, Litten was agile and jumped up quickly, narrowly avoiding Infernape's attack.

"Fire Fang!"

Following Xiaozhi's order, Litten, which was ready to go, rushed towards Blastoise like an arrow. As it ran, it slowly condensed its fire energy into flaming fangs that flashed with blazing light.

Then, Litten leaped up and pounced on the Exploding Flame Turtle at lightning speed like a flaming beast.

"Exploding Tortoise, stop it!" Kachi's voice was also full of confidence. He was best at dealing with this kind of frontal contact attack.

The huge and tough body of the Exploding Tortoise quickly turned around, and its iron-hard shell was like an indestructible shield, and it met the attack of the Litten without hesitation.

"Bang--" The flame fang and the trap shell collided fiercely. The huge impact force caused the entire ground to tremble slightly. Then, a strong air wave burst out, as if a bomb was detonated in an instant, making a deafening roar.

"That's it, Exploding Tortoisemon, use Dragon Tail!"

Kachi accurately grasped this critical moment. Under his command, the Exploding Tortoise swung its green dragon tail violently, and with a whistling sound, it lashed out at the Litten.

Litten was caught off guard and was knocked back by the powerful blow in the smoke produced by the explosion, and finally fell heavily in front of Xiaozhi.

However, the fire cat did not lose its fighting ability. Although its body was severely injured, it still held up its body tenaciously.

"Let's stop here!" Xiaozhi smiled and slowly squatted down, activating the power of Tokiwa and injecting it into Litten's body. "It's just an ordinary training. There's really no need for you to work so hard!"

"Meow~"

At this time, Kachi also came over, looking around, his mind full of doubts: "Strange? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi slowly stood up and was about to use the magical power of wave guidance to investigate when a dazzling halo suddenly appeared in front of him.

I only heard Hoopa shouting anxiously: "Master, something bad has happened!!!"

Xiaozhi's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked in the direction Hoopa pointed, only to see that on the other side of the halo, Liliae and Suiren were quietly suspended in the air by Meloetta using her supernatural powers.

Liliae didn't seem to be affected too much, but Shuilian and the sea lions beside her were completely different. Their eyes were closed tightly, and they looked so haggard that it was beyond words. They were just skin and bones, which was very scary!

"This...what's going on?!" Xiaozhi and Kaichi were instantly shocked, their eyes full of shock and worry. Could it be that Shuilian's ghost story came true?

Xiaozhi didn't have time to think about it and hurried forward to check them carefully. After checking them, he was relieved to find that they seemed to have just fallen into a deep sleep and had not suffered any serious injuries.

However, the condition of Shui Lian and the others was not good. It was obvious that a lot of nutrients and energy had been absorbed. Fortunately, as long as they had a good meal and replenished their strength, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Then, Xiaozhi quickly swung his arms, and several streams of Evergreen's power accurately struck into Liliae and Suiren's bodies. These streams of Evergreen's power traveled through their bodies, quickly expelling their abnormal sleep state, gradually awakening their dormant consciousness, and continuously maintaining the most basic energy for their activities, ensuring that their lives would not be in danger.

Lilia and Shuilian seemed to be walking out of a long dream. Their confused eyes gradually became clear, and they woke up slowly. The first feeling Shuilian and the Qiuqiu sea lions had after waking up was so strong that they could not be ignored. That was hunger!

A bone-deep feeling of hunger suddenly swept over them, as if they had not tasted any food for three days and three nights, and the emptiness in their stomachs clamored to be satisfied.

Fortunately, following Xiaozhi's instructions, Kage had prepared a full plate of curry rice and various Pokémon foods early on.

At this moment, Shui Lian didn't care about her image at all. Like a hungry little animal, she just picked up the plate and started eating in big mouthfuls. Her wolfing down look made people laugh.

Liliae briefly explained to Xiaozhi what happened before. It turned out that when they were walking in the forest, a black shadow suddenly flashed by like a ghost, and then they felt dizzy, and then they couldn't remember anything.

Afterwards, the three Hoopas who were playing in the forest accidentally discovered that they were in a coma, and they immediately rushed them over.

"It's undoubtedly a Pokémon, not a ghost!" Xiaozhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he had a preliminary guess in his mind, "It should use mushroom spores to hypnotize you, making you fall into an unconscious sleep, and then take the opportunity to use Ultimate Absorption to absorb the energy of Shui Lian and others!"

Then Xiaozhi looked at Liliae and said slowly: "As for why you are safe and sound, Liliae, it is because you sprayed the golden spray in advance, which made it difficult for the Pokémon to get close to you. It is also thanks to this layer of protection that you were able to escape!"

After hearing this, Liliae showed a thoughtful expression on her face, and then she said anxiously: "Oh no, oh no, Mao and the others are still in the deep forest. I wonder how they are doing now?!"

When Xiaozhi heard this, he quickly commanded Hoopa to open the halo. As the two haloes slowly unfolded, Latias and Mao were still as usual, without any abnormal behavior, but Mamane had already lay on the recliner and fell into a deep sleep, but he didn't seem to be in any trouble.

At this moment, Xiaozhi's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the side of Latias, where a very strange-looking Pokémon appeared. It looked like three small and exquisite mushrooms growing on one fungus, cute and unique.

Latias is using his powerful superpowers to lift it high up and suspend it in the air, and it is still struggling.

"What is this? A sleepy mushroom?" In an instant, Xiaozhi seemed to understand everything all of a sudden, "I see, this little guy must be the culprit. It was originally planning to attack Latias and the others, but unexpectedly, Latias caught it in time."

At Xiaozhi's signal, Latias placed the Sleeping Mushroom in his palm. When the small body of the Sleeping Mushroom landed steadily in his palm, it seemed to be trembling slightly out of fear.

"Little guy, don't be so scared!" Xiaozhi squatted down and slowly lowered his sight to the same height as the sleeping mushroom. He spoke softly in a gentle but firm tone, as if with magical power, and soon the frightened mood of the sleeping mushroom gradually calmed down.

The Sleeping Mushroom stood on Xiaozhi's hand, and the forked root actually began to perform its ultimate absorption move. However, despite its best efforts, it could not absorb even a trace of Xiaozhi's power.

Looking at the futile efforts of the Sleeping Mushroom, Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile slightly. Then a force of Evergreen flowed through his palm like a lively stream, allowing the Sleeping Mushroom to absorb it smoothly naturally.

At this moment, Xiaozhi's mind seemed to be struck by lightning, and a series of strange images suddenly appeared in his mind like a movie. It was a huge and withered tree, with a large number of sleepy mushrooms densely gathered on it.

These little guys are working together to continuously inject the power they have absorbed into the dead tree. There is a determined light flashing in their eyes, as if they are expecting to bring new life to this giant tree through their own efforts.

Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi instantly understood why the little guy in front of him was so persistent in collecting energy, and immediately decided to help it.

So, Xiaozhi put all his heart and soul into activating the power of Viridian, transforming it into pure grass-type energy, and then guided this energy to flow to the Sleeping Mushroom, allowing it to absorb it to its heart's content.

The Sleepy Mushroom seemed to sense Xiaozhi's intentions, and it took in big gulps of the pure energy without hesitation. After a short while, it actually gained weight, as if it was full all of a sudden. It could no longer move, and could only lie obediently on Xiaozhi's palm, with a look of satisfaction and peace of mind in its eyes.

Looking at this cute little guy, Shui Lian, who had already recovered her spirits, and Mamane and others who had woken up, all gathered around curiously.

However, before they could inquire about the situation, everyone's attention was attracted by a faint and strange light flickering in the forest, and it was slowly moving in a specific direction.

Xiaozhi gently held the Sleeping Mushroom with an expectant smile on his face, "It must be your companions, let's go together!"

After saying that, Xiaozhi led everyone without hesitation to join the group of sleepy mushrooms that were moving slowly forward.

In this quiet forest night sky, these small mushrooms emitting soft light gathered together. The light seemed to be lively and vivid with life, just like the elves in the forest guarding this land. With an extremely magical color, people feel as if they are in a dreamland.

After a while, the Sleepy Mushrooms gathered on a withered giant tree. That giant tree was the same giant tree that Xiaozhi had seen in his mind before.

Large patches of Sleeping Mushrooms shone brightly on the giant trees. The light was like a thin veil, making the originally weathered trees look brand new and full of vitality.

These seemingly ordinary little guys on weekdays are now relying on the power of the group to prepare to accomplish something that only the mythical Pokémon Celebi can do!

The vitality of the giant tree is about to revive!

It's so beautiful! Just this dreamlike scene made Liliae and the others fall into shock instantly. Their eyes were full of disbelief and their mouths were slightly open, but they couldn't make any sound for a long time.

But Xiaozhi knew very well in his heart that this was not a coincidence, but a miracle of life that was about to bloom magnificently in front of everyone!

He also sent the Sleeping Mushroom in his palm to the giant tree, allowing it to smoothly join the group.

"Everyone, remember this next scene well, it will be an unforgettable memory in your life!" Although Xiaozhi's voice was not loud, it contained endless expectations.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the sleepy mushrooms on the tree seemed to have received some mysterious instructions, and they all began to flash the warm and dazzling light of life at the same time.

And so many Pokémon actually underwent amazing evolution at the same time. Their bodies gradually changed from their original small and cute appearance to huge white mushrooms about 1 meter tall.

"The Lampshade Night Mushroom is the evolved form of the Sleeping Mushroom. It still retains the special ability of the Sleeping Mushroom to make its target fall asleep and absorb its energy. At the same time, it has also learned to generously share its energy with those it likes."

The Rotom Encyclopedia reported the event very diligently, and at the same time, it also turned on the video recording function to carefully record this unforgettable scene.

Xiaozhi naturally knew the abilities of the Lampshade Night Shrooms, and now they are using this ability to create a miracle of life!

At this moment, the lampshade night mushrooms on the tree released brilliant light at the same time. The originally withered giant tree, under the astonished gaze of everyone, seemed to be cast under magic and miraculously came back to life.

It began to sprout tender green branches again, and that tenacious vitality seemed to break through all obstacles. Within a short period of time, it became lush at an astonishing speed, as if it had instantly returned to its glorious past.

What is even more amazing is that among the emerald green leaves, a bunch of gorgeous flowers are slowly blooming.

The flowers are gorgeous and as time goes by, the petals float gently in the air. The rich fragrance spreads like wisps of gauze, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Under such a beautiful scene, Meloetta couldn't help but dance, and its agile posture seemed to blend into the surrounding beauty.

It sang a beautiful song, the song was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature, as if it was telling the story between the lampshade night mushroom and nature, and also singing the praises of the miracle and beauty of life.

"I see. It's the Sleepyhead Mushrooms... no, they should be the Lampshade Night Shrooms. It turns out they want to bring life back to this tree, so they are working so hard to collect energy!" Liliae's eyes were shining. She carefully caught a few falling petals, feeling the faint fragrance, and couldn't help but admire it.

"Although the highlight of camping is undoubtedly the blazing bonfire and the sweet and delicious barbecue at night, everything that is happening at this moment is more meaningful than these!" Mao and Shuilian also had excitement flashing in their eyes, and then they said in unison.

When the exciting moment was over, a lampshade night mushroom slowly and staggered towards them.

Upon seeing this, Xiaozhi immediately squatted down and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you have completed the evolution!"

The Sleepy Mushroom, which had always looked extremely cute and adorable, seemed to have completely transformed at this moment. Its temperament had quietly changed. At this moment, it was smiling gently and kindly, gently stretching out its slender arms, straight in front of Xiaozhi, as if expressing its deep gratitude to Xiaozhi in this way.

When Xiaozhi saw this scene, he smiled slightly, raised his hand, and then gently touched the small hand of Lampshade Yegu. At that moment, it seemed that a special emotion was transmitted between the two.

Then, more lampshade night mushrooms gradually fell from the trees as if they had received some kind of summons, and surrounded everyone.

The huge purple mushroom caps on their heads were shining brightly like sparkling gems, and from that light, a large number of purple mushroom spores were continuously released.

When everyone saw this scene, they suddenly became nervous, but they had no way to avoid this sudden situation. In desperation, they had to close their eyes, trying not to look at the spores that were emitting strange light.

At this moment, Latias smiled slightly, waved his arms gently, and a colorful mysterious light instantly enveloped everyone. It was the mysterious protection!

After the lampshade night mushrooms left, it was already very late, but the real nightlife had just begun. The bonfire party and barbecue started, and this weekend camping passed in laughter and joy!

To be continued…
