The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

While they were cleaning, they couldn't help but complain.

"Really? Why would we do this?"

"Don't even think about who caused the presentation to go awry."

"We shouldn't have held a press conference with that guy."

"You should have said that at the beginning."

At this time, the director and Torito, who had returned to the institute's door, heard their conversation.

Torito's self-blame and guilt suddenly surged in his heart, and he returned to his laboratory without saying a word.

Looking at Torito's departing figure, the director sighed, then pushed the door open and walked in, scolding the researchers.

"You all should stop now.

Torito cares more about Pokémon than anyone else in the research institute.

Is there anyone among you who loves Pokémon more than Torito?

Is there anyone who knows Pokémon better than him?

Are there such people among us?

Torito possesses the most important quality as a Pokémon researcher, and this is something that surpasses all of us."

The director's words left the researchers speechless.

Silent all night.

The next morning, today is the third and final day of the Wind Festival.

Early in the morning, Xiaozhi was awakened by a knock on the door.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xiaozhi got up and opened the door, only to see that it was Lisa and Eevee.

"It's you, Lisa. What's up so early?"

"Xiaozhi, I feel like there's some commotion outside. Let's go out and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi frowned, but still went back to the room, quickly changed his clothes, and followed Lisa out of the hotel.

The two of them came to the street and found something wrong.

Because all the windmills scattered throughout Fenglai City stopped turning today!

And standing on the street, you can't feel the breeze blowing past your face.

Many residents of Fenglai City came to the streets like the two of them, and were very puzzled by this phenomenon.

Mother-in-law Feicui was also frightened by this scene when she walked out of the house.

"Ah! What on earth is going on? This is the first time I've seen it."

On the street, people were talking about it.

"The wind has stopped!"

"What happened?"

"I heard the wind weakened because the sacred flame disappeared."

"Gone" means completely gone?

"Correct."

"Then what's the point of holding a festival?"

"It must be because of Zeraora's curse,

I heard that Zeraora, who died in a wildfire 50 years ago, cursed the entire mountain. If humans set foot on the mountain, disaster will befall them. This is Zeraora's curse."

Listening to the discussions of passers-by, Lisa was the most panicked.

If what these passersby said was true, that one would be cursed as soon as one stepped onto the mountain, then she had spent a whole day on the mountain the day before yesterday.

Xiaozhi brought Lisa straight to the central stadium of Fenglai City. If they wanted to go up to the Olympic flame stand and take away the Olympic flame, they had to pass through here.

As expected, Mayor Oriba, Grandma Emerald, and many citizens and staff gathered here.

"Mr. Mayor!"

"Prosecutor Xiaozhi!"

"I heard that the Holy Flame is missing?" asked Xiaozhi.

"Yes."

"So the wind..."

"Lugia used the Holy Flame as a beacon to send wind, but now..."

"Lugia, you don't know where to send the wind, right?" Lisa asked.

"Ah."

"Before the last day passes, before tomorrow's dawn arrives, if the sacred flame is not found..."

Grandma Jade hesitated to speak.

"It won't be long before the power in the entire Fenglai City will be exhausted," said Mayor Oriba.

"How could this happen!" Lisa couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Can I go up and take a look?" Xiaozhi asked.

"of course can."

There is an elevator at the Olympic flame platform. Xiaozhi, Lisa, Mayor Oriba, and Emerald Granny took the elevator to the Olympic flame platform.

What Xiaozhi didn't expect was that Lisa was afraid of heights. When she looked down from the sacred fire platform, she was so scared that she couldn't even stand up straight.

The entire sacred flame was stolen, which makes no sense at all.

"Mayor Oriba, there should be surveillance cameras at the Olympic flame and the stadium."

"Yes, I've asked someone to check the surveillance footage. They should be back soon."

When the staff brought the videotape and played it in front of everyone, everyone was very surprised.

Because a girl suddenly appeared on the screen, and it could be clearly seen that she was holding the sacred flame in her hand. That girl was none other than the daughter of Mayor Oriba, Larugo!

"Larugo! How could it be her!" Mayor Oriba said in great surprise.

"Don't worry about the reason for now. She must have a reason for doing this. Let's find Laruguo first." Xiaozhi said.

"it is good."

Mayor Oriba ordered people to continue to retrieve surveillance footage and confirmed that Larugo had actually gone to the mountain with the Zeraora curse.

The surveillance disappeared when we got to the mountain.

Mayor Oriba originally wanted to call the rangers and ask them if they had seen Larugo. If they couldn't find any, he would have to use the human wave tactic and send people to search the entire mountain.

But Xiaozhi said there was no need to go through so much trouble, as it was enough to confirm that Laruguo was in the mountains.

The group first came to the foot of the mountain. Xiaozhi maximized the power of the waveguide, covering the entire mountain, and soon locked onto a familiar waveguide. Xiaozhi was sure that it was Larugo's waveguide.

There is also an unfamiliar but very strong waveguide,

Since the people of Fenglai City say that this is a mountain cursed by Zeraora, perhaps this powerful waveguide is Zeraora.

After confirming Larugo's location, Xiaozhi led everyone there.

On the other side, in an abandoned house on the mountain, Larugo was sitting here, followed by a baby bear and a Ditto.

Larugo looked at the Holy Flame placed aside, then looked towards the direction of Fenglai City at the foot of the mountain. He seemed to have made up his mind, and turned around to say to a Pokémon behind him,

"Has the celebration stopped? No problem, I'll protect you this time."

That Pokémon looks like a cat walking upright.

It has blue pads on its hands and blue or black lightning-like patterns all over its body.

The blue is mainly on the upper body.

Its fur is mainly yellow and black.

The fur is thinner and darker on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and thicker and yellower elsewhere.

There's also a zigzag black stripe down the thigh and two more on the forearm.

There is a small tuft of light blue fur on the chest and a long tuft on the forehead.

It has a lightning-shaped blue whisker on each cheek.

A long, horse-tail-like tuft of fur extended from between its shoulders, ending in a lightning bolt.
