Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 18 18. Frustrated
"What's going on, why did Beicheng suddenly catch fire?"

Junsha was slightly stunned, and then changed the channel of the walkie-talkie: "The fire department will set off immediately, and all rush to Beicheng, giving priority to rescue the trapped people at the scene!"

"wait wait wait!"

"What else is there?!" Junsha stopped and was about to set off to hunt down the man in black.

"There is also a fire on the west side. The flower beds in the park are burning, and the fire continues to grow fiercely. Many Pokémon are trapped here. We don't have enough manpower to rescue them!"

Junsha was surprised, but she still gave instructions immediately: "Use the elf ball to subdue them first, and report the specific losses later!"

At this time, the mayor who had been in the contestant preparation area hurried over, "What happened?"

Seeing the person who came, Jun Sha bowed to him hastily, took a deep breath and said, "Two fires suddenly appeared in the city. I suspect that the cat eight set it down to cover up its whereabouts."

"Impossible" Hearing this, Lu Qiu immediately wanted to step forward to defend that person.

He knew that even if the sky fell, that guy would never do anything to hurt Pokémon.

"Jun, Miss Junsha!"

"There is also fire near the Pokémon Center!"

The reports on the intercom continued.

"I'll be there right away."

Her chest rose and fell several times, and Junsha gritted her teeth bitterly, "Call back all the police officers deployed on the road."

"Calm down, Junsha." Mayor Ji Hai tapped the crutches in his hand and calmly analyzed: "There is no need to send too many people to the Pokémon Center. We have to trust Joey. In short, borrow the help of the trainers present. They There must be someone in the middle who owns the water system”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden commotion from the audience.

"I lost my Poké Ball!"

"Me too!"

"How?! Where's my Poké Ball?"

In the midst of the noise, a police officer ran onto the stage panting: "Miss Junsha, and Mr. Mayor, among the audience present, many people lost their Pokémon balls."

Hearing this, Ji Hai trembled, and then closed his eyes in pain:

"Phantom Thief Cat Eight I thought he was just a naughty kid."

"Do you really want to deal with this city so cruelly?"

aside.

Yamei looked at Lu Qiu whose eyes were constantly shaking, and suddenly stretched out her hand to pull back his steps, and then pulled him away without looking back without people noticing.

"Lu Qiu, tell me."

Grabbing the boy's hand, Ami asked without looking back, "Do you know that person, the guy named Phantom Thief Cat Eight?"

"No, he wouldn't have done it."

Lu Qiu's eyes were in a trance, and he still murmured in disbelief: "That guy would never do such a thing."

"That's your business!"

After leaving the venue, Yamei turned to him and shouted loudly: "Except for you, none of us know that guy. Anyway, now, you immediately find a way to get him back for me!"

After speaking, seeing that Lu Qiu was still in a daze, she suddenly clenched her fist and hit the latter heavily on the shoulder.

It seemed that he wanted to wake him up, but he hesitated in an instant.

"Meow!!"

Xiangwei Niao bowed down and made an attacking gesture.

It will not tolerate harm to its servants at any time.

The body trembled and let out a breath.

The heart beat gradually slowed down.

The cold frost trickled back under the skin until it rushed to the top of the forehead.

Then, Lu Qiu's eyes seemed to turn into a cold wasteland, and he couldn't refuse, "Anyway, I'm going to save the Pokémon first."

than getting people's understanding.

He couldn't stand hearing about Pokémon's deaths any longer.

There was sparkle in Ami's eyes.

But not disappointed.

"what ever."

After speaking, she got up and ran back to the aisle of the venue.

There was still work for her to do.

Just like the trust Lu Qiu gave, she firmly believed that even if she knew him, this boy who gave her a special feeling would never be involved in this matter.

After all, that momentary longing made her understand that the boy was longing for the stage where his dream would come true.

Recalling the dance of the beautiful flowers, Lu Qiu who showed the same expression as Xiangwei at that time, Ami couldn't help cursing inwardly:
'If you dare to run away, I will chase you all over the city and I will kill you too. '

Lu Qiu ran all the way to the park where he stayed before.

There was no pause or hesitation on the way.

During the period, he encountered a panicked crowd and knocked them away without any scruples.

The closer to the west, the more you can feel the scorching heat in the air, as well as the burnt smell and the thick smoke that cannot be dispersed.

The fire has completely surrounded the park, and the blooming flowers have been burned to black ashes at this moment. Through the dancing flames, the figure of Pokémon can be vaguely seen huddled in a corner.

"No, the fire is too big, hasn't the fire department come to help?" A police officer coughed violently while holding his choked nose, and the clothes on his body had been burned with large holes by the splashing fire.

The distance was too far, and the Pokéball could no longer be thrown at that position, and the gradually increasing fire could not allow unprepared people to rush into the flames and get out alive.

"Is there any other way?" Next to him, another police officer collapsed from strength, and said to himself in despair, "Why did you choose this time?"

Pick it during the celebration, when no one can react immediately.

In a daze, he realized that something was thrown on him.

Look down.

It was a light brown coat with a cute kitten head embroidered with pink thread inside the collar.

Suddenly raising his head forward, he saw the young man rushing towards the sea of ​​flames, his silver hair fluttering with the thick wind of black smoke, his eyes were filled with a breathtaking cold white light.

"snowstorm."

Like a sharp blade, the snowflakes that were almost connected into fine lines melted into the flames, drastically reducing the surrounding temperature.

Xiang Wei Mao exhaled a choking cold air, and his slightly opened eyes had the same dazzling light as a trainer.

cold.

So cold.

Lu Qiu stepped in front of the sea of ​​fire.

"Come back quickly! Don't be impulsive!" Another policeman stepped forward and was about to drag Lu Qiu back.

"Frozen light, open this road to me."

Following the order, a blue beam of light sprayed in front of him, following what Lu Qiu pointed at, freezing the snowflakes that had not yet dissipated, as well as the tumbling and roaring flames, into the ice.

The footsteps did not stop.

With frost marks on his face, Lu Qiu rushed towards the direction where the voice came from.

There, there was someone he had to save.

The moment the toes landed within the range of the park, the sea of ​​flames broke through the ice and sealed off the road behind them again.

"Are you crazy?!"

Behind him, the police officer who followed panted heavily, slapped away the flames on his body, and couldn't help cursing: "If you want to die, don't stay in Jihua City, you are not welcome here with no brains!"

Lu Qiu turned his head to look at him, and the latter suddenly felt cold all over.

Rather than saying it was a threat, it was more of an instinctive oppression at the level of life, for example, Bobo would feel scared in front of the toucan.

So much so that Ling followed the police officer in the sea of ​​flames, stopped talking, and subconsciously reached out to touch the baton behind him.

"Help."

"What?" He froze.

Lu Qiu grabbed the corner of his sleeve, and while continuing to move forward, he begged in a cold voice:

"Help me save those Pokémon."
