The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Although this volcano spews out hot gases, it does not produce magma.

People can travel through the interior of the volcano through caves located at the foot, middle and top of the mountain, or directly along the mountain road.

The Overlord Pokémon's home is located at the top of a mountain.

Since the mountain road is divided into several parts by steps, you can only choose the first road when going up the mountain.

The Vera Flame Festival is being held here today.

When Dr. Kukui led everyone to the foot of the Wela volcano, the volcano, which should have been deserted, was now bustling with activity.

There are all kinds of stalls on both sides of the road, and the vendors are enthusiastically promoting their own products.

Among those who came to participate in the festival, there were men, women, young and old, and all of them brought various fire-type Pokémon.

Such as Charmander, Charmeleon, Fire Fox, Warm Pig, Incubus, Flame Monkey, Litten, etc.

It seems that there are many tourists from other places who come here specifically to participate in this festival.

"This is the Vera Flame Festival, a traditional event on Akala Island that has existed for more than a hundred years," Dr. Kukui introduced.

The theme of this class designed by Dr. Kukui is to allow everyone to learn about the history and culture of Akala Island by participating in the ceremony.

"Everyone follow me." Kachi, the host, called out and walked in front.

"Kachi is so excited." Mao said.

“He seems to come every year,” Mamane said.

"Ash, do you want to make Litten stronger?" asked Kachi.

"Of course I do."

"Then you've come to the right place. This festival is perfect for you." said Kachi.

As he walked further, Xiaozhi saw a large group of people gathered in front of him.

They were surrounding an altar, upon which sat Lizzie, the Queen of the Island.

According to Kachi, the host of the annual Vera Flame Festival is the island king or queen of Akala Island.

Lizzie cleared her throat and said with a smile,

"Hello everyone, today is the long-awaited Wela Flame Festival. To express our gratitude to Wela Volcano, which gave birth to Akala Island, let's liven up the atmosphere."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd below immediately cheered, the atmosphere was extremely heated, and everyone shouted in unison,

"Vera! Vera! Vera! Vera!"

Lizzie raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then announced the official start of the ceremony.

Soon after, a long queue began to form in front of the altar, and the first person to step onto the altar was a trainer with a Growlithe.

Lizzie smiled and exchanged a few words with Growlithe, then put something that looked like a crown on Growlithe's head.

The object was a ring-shaped crown made entirely of stone, inlaid with several fiery red gems.

After the Growlithe put it on, it suddenly became excited and spit out a jet of flame that was even more powerful than before, which made its trainer very happy.

Then Miss Lizzie took the crown back, and the second and third people came up to the altar one after another and put on the crown.

"That's called the Vera Crown. It's said to be made of lava from Vera Volcano. As long as Pokémon wear it, they will become as powerful as Vera Volcano." said Kachi.

"It works on any Pokémon, but it's especially effective on Fire-type Pokémon," Professor Kukui added.

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi suddenly realized that this was what Ketchum meant when he asked him whether he wanted to make Litten stronger.

Xiaozhi released Licew with great interest and stood at the end of the line holding Licew.

Although it was annoying to wait in such a long line, the anticipation of letting Litten wear the Crown of Vala still made Xiaozhi insist on queuing and not leaving.

Although the others didn't have any fire-type Pokémon except Ketchum, they also lined up with Xiaozhi.

Time will pass quickly when you chat with your friends.

"I've read about this rumor before. It seems like many trainers have come here from other places to ask for a crown for their Pokémon after hearing about it," Lillie said.

"Kachi, you should have let Infernape wear the crown too," asked Ash.

"Well, that was last year.

Also, as you all know, my grandfather was once the king of Akala Island.

When I was little, my dream was for my grandfather to put a crown on my Pokémon."

"If your grandfather were still alive, he would definitely be happy for you if he saw you bringing your partner Pokémon to the festival," said Professor Kukui.

"Well, thank you, Doctor."

Everyone was chatting when there was suddenly a commotion in front.

I ran to the front to see what was happening. It turned out that Lizzie was putting a crown on a king.

A wild Alola Galla came out of nowhere, snatched the Crown of Vala, put it on its own head, and danced excitedly.

Kachi was furious when he heard this. To him, Mount Vera was sacred and inviolable. It was his belief and the existence he revered.

Now this Alola Galagal dared to openly cause trouble at the festival and even stole the important Valar Crown. How could Kachi not be angry?

"That's not yours, return it to me quickly."

Kachi said, and immediately pounced over, but the Alola Gallagher was too agile to catch.

"Gargh, stop it now!" Lizzie said angrily.

Protecting the sacred objects of Akala Island is also her duty as the queen of the island.

But Garagara completely ignored her, nimbly dodged the siege of a group of trainers, and ran up the mountain.

"Leave it to me. I will definitely take the crown back. Exploding Tortoisemon, let's go."

Kachi took back the Flame Turtle and immediately chased after it.

Xiaozhi went along as well, while the others stayed here to maintain order and calm everyone down.

Relying on the power of wave guidance, the two easily found the Alola Galagala in an open space near the top of the mountain.

It was wearing the crown of Valar and dancing a mysterious dance there.

"You bastard, hurry up and return the Crown of Vera!"

Kachi shouted and rushed forward.

But the Alola Galagala was obviously unwilling to return the Crown of Valar so easily, so it hooked its finger at Kachi.

"So you want a fight, right? Then it'll be your wish. After defeating you, I'll take back the Crown of Vera. Come out, Exploding Tortoisemon!"

Kachi sent out the Blazing Turtle, but the jets of fire it spewed out were easily defeated by Garagara's Flame Charge.

Facing the high-speed approaching Garagara, Exploding Tortoise used its dragon tail to meet the attack, but Garagara easily dodged it.
