The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

It’s okay that he lost the fight last time, because the Pokémon hunters were fighting two against one and that was unsportsmanlike. Besides, he was injured, so the opponent’s victory was unfair.

But this time the battle was one-on-one, and he was not injured, so it was unreasonable for him to lose.

Looking at Xiaozhi walking towards it, Zeraora forced itself to stand up shakily, with its sharp claws raised high, as if it would tear Xiaozhi into pieces if Xiaozhi came one step closer to it.

Xiaozhi stopped and said with a smile,

"Zeraora, I know you have great hostility towards humans.

Because whether it is you or the wild Pokémon living on this mountain, they have all been harmed by humans to some extent.

But what I hope you understand is that not all humans are bad.

Among humans, there are bad people like Pokémon hunters who are willing to harm Pokémon for money and profit.

There are also good people like us who care about Pokémon and hope to live in harmony with Pokémon and become friends.

I know you are a selfless Pokémon who is willing to put your own life in danger to save others.

For example, during the wildfire 50 years ago, you saved many wild Pokémon on the mountain.

Your strong will enables you to overcome incredible pain.

You also like to live in seclusion in the wilderness without any external interference,

Zeraora, I hope you can give us humans another chance.

If you still can't get over what happened 50 years ago,

I'm here to apologize to you on their behalf."

After saying that, Xiaozhi bowed deeply to Zeraora, which made Zeraora a little overwhelmed.

The humans it has seen are all trying to capture it or the wild Pokémon in the mountains.

The first time they see them, they will attack their Pokémon without hesitation.

I have never seen such polite human beings.

Of course, how could Zeraora, who had suffered so much harm from humans, change her mind with just a few words?

Zeraora had seen many hypocritical humans who pretended to be friendly first and then lured them into traps or took the opportunity to attack them.

But just as Zeraora was dismissing Xiaozhi's words, a breath suddenly attracted its attention.

It instantly changed its expression and pointed at Xiaozhi's backpack and said,

"There's something in there!"

Xiaozhi was also confused and didn't know what Zeraora meant, so he put down his backpack and unzipped it.

When it saw the legendary slate, Zeraora's eyes widened, and it immediately knelt on the ground and said,

"I am Zeraora, the God of Thunder, the Master of the Thunder Hall in the Temple of the End, and I pay my respects to the Lord Inheritor!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's mouth twitched and said,

"After all this time, it turns out you're also a prison inmate. If you had told me earlier, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."

"I have offended you many times, I hope you will forgive me."

"Alright, alright, ignorance is not a crime. Am I such a stingy person? Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Master Inheritor."

"You are so stupid, even if you don't know my identity and don't know that I am a good person,

But didn't you notice that the injuries on your body from the Pokémon of those two Pokémon Hunters have healed? Otherwise, how could you have fought with Pikachu for so long?

Even if I did this to gain your trust, why should I heal your old wounds?

There’s no need for that.”

Hearing this, Zeraora moved its hands and feet, mobilized the strength in its body, and found that what Xiaozhi said was indeed true, which made it overjoyed.

You have to know that these are the old wounds left by saving the wild Pokémon on the mountain during the wildfire 50 years ago.

It had been recuperating here for 50 years and its injuries had not fully recovered, but Xiaozhi made it fully recover with just one move. How could it not be happy?

"Thank you, sir."

Zeraora immediately clasped his fists in thanks.

"Don't thank me. If it weren't for the combination of the electrical energy from the lightning slate and the waveguide power within the legendary slate, it would have been difficult for me to heal your old injury in such a short time.

If you really want to thank me, then just follow what I just said and give the people of Fenglai City another chance, okay?"

"Since your Excellency has spoken, your subordinates will obey."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm here and I won't let you down again.

You can also stay on this mountain and observe whether the people of Wind City have corrected themselves as I said and become more protective of Pokémon. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"I obey my orders."

Zeraora bowed to Ash again, then returned to the forest with the wild Pokémon including Ursa Major, Ditto, and Odachi.

After Zeraora and the others left, Mayor Oriba and the others hurried over to Xiaozhi and asked,

"Prosecutor Xiaozhi, what's going on? Does Zeraora know that we are not its enemies?"

The conversation between Xiaozhi and Zeraora just now was blocked by the power of the wave guide, so no one could hear it.

They only saw that Zeraora actually knelt down and saluted Xiaozhi, which surprised everyone.

You have to know that it is the mythical Pokémon Zeraora, and it hates humans, but it can actually bow to Ash.

"Don't worry, Zeraora already knows we are doing this for their own good.

However, Mayor Oriba, for the sake of the peaceful life of Zeraora and the wild Pokémon in the mountains from now on,

I hope you can tell the truth about Zeraora to the citizens of the city, and let everyone know that Zeraora not only did not curse this mountain,

It was thanks to it that the wild Pokémon on the mountain were saved from the wild fire 50 years ago.

At the same time, the mountain will be turned into a nature reserve. People can go up the mountain, but they are not allowed to capture wild Pokémon on the mountain."

Mayor Oriba was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he said,

"That's great, Prosecutor Xiaozhi, don't worry, I have no objection to the two points you mentioned.

The former mayor lied to the citizens about Zeraora cursing the mountain. His original intention was to protect Zeraora and the wild Pokémon on the mountain, but his approach was not very good.

Now that things have taken a turn for the better, as the mayor of Wind City, I naturally have to clear Zeraora's name.

Tonight, at the last event of the last day of the Wind Festival, I will announce this news to the citizens.

While clearing the name of Zeraora, the mountain was designated as a nature reserve and reported to the Alliance Headquarters for review.

We will also strengthen the security, patrols, and guards on the mountain, increase the number of mountain rangers, and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Ensure that Zeraora and the wild Pokémon on the mountain can live a stable life from now on."
