A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

The purple miasma seemed to have come to life, like a raging torrent of poison bursting its banks, surging wildly from every corner of the street and every shadow, heading towards the Public Security Bureau building with overwhelming force.

The first to be affected are the security guards on duty closest to the gate, and their partners—Growlithe and X-Tron.

"Uhhh-!!!"

A young security guard's face turned a terrifying purplish-black instantly after he inhaled a mouthful of the escaping purple mist without warning!

His eyes bulged out, and he gripped his throat with both hands, letting out an inhuman scream. His fingernails dug deep into the flesh of his neck due to extreme pain, leaving bloody marks, as if he wanted to forcibly dig out the deadly poison that had penetrated his body!

In just two or three seconds, his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, convulsed, and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

"Ouch——!!!"

"Meow—!!!"

His Gyrocopter and Xenogear cat were also not spared.

The Growlithe's prized keen sense of smell became its fatal weakness. As it inhaled a large amount of poisonous mist, its majestic body writhed in pain, emitting mournful cries. Purple foam overflowed from its mouth and nose, and its thick fur lost its luster at a visible rate.

The Röntgen cat screamed and collapsed to the ground, its body paralyzed and convulsing, with ominous purple spots appearing on its skin.

In just over ten seconds, the sentry guards outside the gate were almost completely wiped out!

Only a few Pokémon remaining a little further away retreated in fear, letting out warning roars.

"Help! Quick! Put on your gas masks! Flying-type Pokémon, prepare to disperse the poisonous fog!"

Inside the security bureau, the swift-reacting security captain, his eyes blazing with fury, roared in a hoarse voice. A team of fully armed guards, clad in heavy protective gear, was about to rush out of the lobby.

"Everyone, step back!"

At this critical moment, a majestic and deep shout, seemingly containing the sound of metal and stone, rang out like thunder in everyone's ears!

His voice carried an undeniable command and a hint of urgency.

"The poisonous fog is strange, containing highly toxic and corrosive energy; do not act rashly!"

Along with the warning, a dazzling blue energy sphere, trailing a long tail of flame, burst through a window of a high-rise building on the side of the security bureau, like a shooting star chasing the moon.

With a sharp whooshing sound, it shot with perfect accuracy into the core area of ​​the most violently churning purple poisonous miasma in front of the gate!

"Wave missile!"

"boom--!!!!"

The blue sphere of light exploded violently! An energy shockwave, imbued with the power of "waveguides," suddenly spread out in a spherical shape!

The power of waveguides, but for these disordered energies, it has an extremely strong oscillation and dissipation effect!

The dense purple poisonous miasma was violently impacted by the shockwave from the explosion, and like boiling water splashed on snow, it was briefly shaken apart and diluted in a large area!

Centered on the explosion point, the toxic fog within a radius of more than ten meters thinned out, revealing the pitted and eroded ground below, as well as the guards and Pokémon lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

In that brief moment when the poisonous fog was shaken away!

A lithe blue figure shot out from the shadows of the building's side wing like a ghost, rushing into the newly cleared area at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!

It was a Pokémon that resembled a dog and walked upright. Its entire body was covered in smooth, blue-black fur, with yellow patchwork patterns on its chest and calves.

Its head has four appendages, like a crown or hanging hair, with white ends.

It is Lucario, the mysterious Pokémon that can use "Aura"!

Lucario moved with lightning speed. Before it had even fully landed, its two strong arms shot out the instant it entered the area, one in each hand, and precisely scooped up the two unconscious guards who were closest to it and were most severely poisoned!

Its movements were gentle and steady, skillfully avoiding the wounded soldier's neck area where he might be injured.

Immediately afterwards, it lightly touched the ground, which was covered with venomous residue, and its body shot back as if it were weightless!

With a few nimble maneuvers, dodging the flowing venom on the ground and the thin, receding venomous mist, they retreated to the safe area inside the police station gate in the blink of an eye.

It landed steadily, gently placing the two unconscious guards on the ground, and then silently and swiftly stood behind a middle-aged man who had been waiting there.

This middle-aged man had a dignified appearance, a square face, thick, dark eyebrows, and eyes as calm as a deep well, yet occasionally a glint of shrewdness would flash within them.

He wasn't wearing the Alliance's standard uniform, but rather a well-tailored, exquisitely made black ancient-style robe. The cuffs and lapels were embroidered with simple flowing cloud patterns in silver thread, and a matching belt was tied around his waist. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with his hands behind his back.

Like a chivalrous master who stepped out of an ancient painting, he blends in strangely with the modern police station environment around him.

Behind him stood a young man, also dressed in black casual clothes, with a handsome face and a sharp look between his brows. He was none other than Xiao Gang, the Emperor Naboo trainer who had fought Zhang Heng.

His face showed tension and concern. When he saw Lucario bring back the wounded, he immediately stepped forward.

"Father!"

Xiao Gang reached out to help Lucario settle the wounded. After a quick check, he saw that the two guards had purplish-black faces, weak breathing, and faint purple veins writhing under their skin, clearly indicating that they had been poisoned by a very serious poison.

He looked solemnly at the middle-aged man in black robes—his father, Xiao Ding, one of the eight strongest Heavenly Kings in East China, specializing in steel magic.

“But what if a powerful enemy is attacking? This poison…” Xiao Gang’s voice was filled with suppressed anger.

King Xiao Ding's gaze never left the thickened, swirling purple miasma outside the gate, as if he could pierce through the deadly fog and see the enemy behind it.

He didn't turn around; his voice was low and steady.

"Gang'er, saving lives is the priority. Hand the wounded over to the medical team and do everything you can to treat them. Leave this place to me."

Xiao Gang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing his father's unwavering back and feeling the reassuring aura emanating from him, he swallowed his words.

He knew his father was resolute, a man of his word, and far more experienced in dealing with enemies than he was.

More importantly, he had an almost blind trust in his father's abilities, and he nodded heavily.

"Yes, Father, be careful!" Then, together with the arriving medical personnel, they quickly carried the injured person to the internal emergency area.

"Luka..."

Lucario used its Aura to lock onto the other poisoned members, then transformed into a blue shadow once more, rushing into the edge of the thin poisonous fog. It also managed to drag the poisoned Arcanine and Xeno'jiiva back, handing them over to the medic team for treatment.

At this moment, the captain of the guards stepped forward quickly, saluted Xiao Dingtian, and spoke very fast.

"King Xiao! Director Luo has ordered us to hold the police station, buy time, and wait for the Champion to return! The attacking enemy is very likely the 'Divine Punishment' from the Creation Palace!"
