The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Mayor Oriba took two golden trophies from the plate held by the etiquette lady and awarded them to Xiaozhi.

One is the championship trophy for winning the first place in this capture competition, and the other is the Mayor's Award, a special award given to thank Xiaozhi for helping to save Banguirus.

"Thank you, Mr. Mayor."

After saying that, Xiaozhi bowed to Mayor Oriba and reached out to take the trophy.

"I should thank you for helping to save Banguilas," said Mayor Oriba.

"No, you're welcome. As a Pokémon trainer, this is what I should do."

After saying that, Xiaozhi held up the two trophies, and the audience cheered and applauded.

Pikachu and Eevee, who were lying on Ash's shoulders, waved to the audience in thanks on behalf of Ash who had no hands free.

In sharp contrast to the glorious Xiaozhi on the stage was Kagaki, who was squatting in the audience with his head down and a look of frustration on his face.

After he was eliminated, Lily did not blame him, but comforted him and said that he would definitely win next time.

But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Kagaki felt.

Looking at Xiaozhi standing on the stage and giving his acceptance speech, Kagaki's eyes were burning with jealousy.

That spot should have been mine!

My stuff!

When he thought of this, Kagaqi stood up and walked towards the stage angrily.

As soon as he came on stage, the host stopped him immediately.

"Contestant, please step down. Only champions can come up to the podium."

"As long as I participate in the competition, I will definitely get first place. This time it was just a mistake!" Kagaqi roared.

"Hmph, a mistake?

Security! Please take this last-place contestant down quickly."

The host deliberately emphasized the words "last one", which immediately angered Kagaqi even more.

Although he was forcibly pulled away by two security guards, he was still shouting,

"It looks like there are some super rare Pokémon around here."

After hearing this, everyone at the scene was frightened by Kagaki. The host even hurriedly called the security guard and asked Kagaki what that rare Pokémon was.

Kagaki immediately became proud and pointed to the mountain not far away in the suburbs and said,

"I finally made it to Fengjie, I must subdue it, it's on that mountain."

These words instantly caused a huge commotion in the crowd. Many Pokémon trainers turned their eyes to the mountain and made up their minds to capture the rare Pokémon.

Just as the others couldn't help but get excited and were ready to go to the mountain to capture Pokémon, Xiaozhi was already furious.

Of course Xiaozhi knew that Kagaki was talking nonsense, but he couldn't say such things casually.

After hearing this news, people will definitely flock to the mountain.

If there is no rare Pokémon on that mountain, then people who keep going into the mountain will not be able to find that rare Pokémon.

If we keep searching, we will inevitably disturb the lives of the wild Pokémon in the mountains.

And if it is a blind cat that catches a dead mouse, and Kagaki's nonsense is really right, there really are rare Pokémon in that mountain,

Not only would the lives of other Pokémon be disturbed, but rare Pokémon would also be unable to survive in that mountain. To put it more seriously, it might even attract poachers from all over the world.

Who will suffer then?

Is it him, Kagaki?

No! Are they the wild Pokémon that live in the mountains?

Poachers cannot find rare Pokémon in the mountains, so they have to catch other Pokémon in the mountains to vent their anger and make up for the time, energy and cost wasted here.

At the same time, Larugo, who was returning to Fenglai City from the mountain, also passed by here. After hearing what Kagaqi said, he couldn't help but frowned and walked towards home with a heavy heart.

The news of the rare Pokémon nearby spread quickly, and programs and news media such as the Pokémon Channel reported on it, grabbing headlines.

Evening, at the mayor's house.

Mayor Oriba and La Rugo were having dinner.

"How was your time at the Wind Festival today?" asked Mayor Oriba.

"Yeah, it was fun. We rode the roller coaster, went into the haunted house, and met a really cool older brother. How about you, father?"

"It's been busy today as well."

"I heard in the Pokémon-capturing competition that there are rare Pokémon nearby." Larugo asked tentatively.

"That's true, but he must be lying. I've never heard of any rare Pokémon around here."

"Um, the legendary Zeraora..."

Before La Ruguo finished speaking, Mayor Oriba slammed the red wine glass in his hand on the table, interrupting La Ruguo and then said,

"Larugo, that Pokémon no longer exists.

Don't cause panic among the people in the city, and don't say anything strange."

"I understand, Father."

On the other side, Xiaozhi, who had already eaten and drunk his fill at the food street filled with night snack stalls, returned to his hotel room to rest.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Xiaozhi got up early and prepared to go to Fengjie again.

After waiting for the elevator for a while, the door opened. Xiaozhi was about to go in when he saw a girl standing in the elevator. She had a tired face, dark circles under her eyes, messy hair covered with leaves, and was holding a wooden stick as a crutch.

Xiaozhi wanted to ask her if she needed help, but when the girl saw Xiaozhi, she was stunned for a moment.

When the elevator door was about to close, the girl finally reacted and became alert as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

She quickly got out of the elevator, put her hands on Xiaozhi's shoulders and asked,

"You're the one mentioned on the official channel, Ash, the champion of the Pokémon capturing contest held yesterday, right?"

"Yeah, it's me. What's going on?"

Faced with this sudden question, Xiaozhi was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Great, I found it."

Besides being happy, the girl also introduced herself to Xiaozhi.

This girl with rainbow-colored hair and red-framed sunglasses is called Lisa, and she is currently a high school student!

After school the day before yesterday, Friday, she went to the hospital to visit her brother Liku, who was recuperating in the hospital due to an injured foot.

When leaving the school, Lisa was stunned when she saw the members of the track and field team training on the school playground.

Because she was also a member of the track and field team before, she started practicing track and field since she was a child.

But ever since she injured her foot, she has developed a psychological trauma about running, and even decided to stop running and quit track and field.

After arriving at the hospital, Lisa gave her brother Liku the clean clothes she had brought home and asked him how his foot was recovering.
