What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

This can be considered a true Pokémon capture, and Lisa is filled with anticipation.

Eevee was gradually enveloped in red light, transforming into a red ball of light, and was eventually captured in a Poké Ball.

Lisa watched this scene nervously until the other party was completely subdued.

“That’s great, Lisa.”

"Does that mean we've successfully subdued them?"

"Hmm, you did a great job, Lisa! Bear Cub too!" *Whoosh~~*

Xiao Zhi couldn't resist placing his hand on the bear cub's head and stroking it.

"I haven't felt this excited in a long time. This is my first time catching a Pokémon. I've been participating in track and field since I was very young, so I have absolutely no idea how to catch Pokémon."

"So you run very fast?"

"Yeah, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm the regional champion!"

Lisa spoke of this with pride, but her eyes eventually filled with sadness.

"So awesome~"

"However, I gave up because of the injury, although it healed and was not a big problem... I became afraid of running."

At this moment, Lisa's mood became even more depressed.

"It's okay, I think you can definitely run."

"why?"

"Just from such a short time together, I can tell that Lisa is very gentle and that she can run for someone or a Pokémon in the future. At that time, this anxiety will definitely disappear."

Ash responded without the slightest hesitation.

For a moment, even Lisa didn't know what to say. She only knew that Ash's words were not a lie.

All they have is a sincere desire to do good for others.

"Thank you."

Lisa couldn't help but smile slightly.

"So Ash was really happy just because he was helping others."

Yukina had finished her match, and a look of pleasure shone in her eyes.

Seeing Ash's expression, I felt a strange kind of joy.

This is probably because I'm becoming more and more interested in this man.

Thinking this, Yushina walked up to Ash.

"Battle me, Ash."

"No problem, then I'll use this Pokémon."

Ash took out Gengar's Poké Ball, ready to battle his opponent.

Just as the two of them took Poké Balls out of their pockets, a sound coming from not far away caught their attention.

Beep beep beep~~~ Beep beep beep~~~

Officer Jenny was riding her bike, with Growlithe running quickly alongside her at a considerable speed, indicating that she was in a hurry.

"Miss Officer Jenny, why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened?"

Ash was slightly taken aback, while Lisa had a bad feeling.

"...Oh no!"

Upon seeing this, Lisa immediately recalled what had happened last night.

An organization wants the research institute in Wind City to steal the drug, and then use the drug's energy to create chaos, taking the opportunity to loot the Pokémon, including Zeraora.

Lisa could still vividly recall a sentence from yesterday: "With Ash from Pallet Town around now, you must be very careful in your actions."

Because Lisa was so focused on taming Eevee, she completely forgot about this matter.

"Ash!...Something bad is about to happen, we have to stop it!"

675 The Sacred Flame is Stolen, the Spore Potion Explodes, and Team Plasma's Conspiracy

At that moment, Lisa hurriedly took Ash's hand and told him everything.

Upon hearing this, Ash and the two girls around him became even more serious.

"Look, the city's sacred flame has disappeared!" "Who stole it?" "The research institute seems to have encountered problems as well."

Just now, a significant disturbance occurred in Wind City. The mayor is currently working actively with Officer Jenny to investigate the incident. The theft of the Olympic flame has not only significantly weakened the wind but also risks paralyzing Wind City's power generation system, as the city's energy supply relies heavily on wind power.

If the Olympic flame continues to go missing, it will seriously threaten the normal operation of the city.

Lugia is dedicated to using the sacred flame as a guide to direct the winds. The city functions normally under Lugia's protection. If the sacred flame were lost, the city's power supply would not last long.

Normally, the city's power will run out soon.

To this, Ash could only say... "Do you want me to help you contact Lugia? Dark Lugia would be fine too?"

Ash didn't care about that, as long as he could get Lugia back, but what he really cared about was what Team Plasma had stolen from the lab.

It would be troublesome if they stole some medicine that would worsen the health of people or Pokémon.

The effects of the same medicine can vary depending on the Pokémon or human, so this is something that needs to be paid special attention to.

It is even possible that a high concentration of the drug is placed in the capsule, and if it is broken, the resulting disaster would be extraordinary.

"Um...my...several of our institute's medicines have been stolen. We have to...find them, or there will be big problems."

"Otherwise, once it spreads... we'll have to create a Pokémon with the ability to naturally recover."

As a researcher, Torito mustered up the courage to bring up the matter with Mayor Oliva.

Natural recovery: The abnormal status will be cured after returning to the team.

"Then I'll leave this to you researchers. For the safety of the citizens, we need to be prepared. Also, with the Olympic flame out of the way and no Lugia winds, we have to find other ways to generate electricity. There used to be a broken power plant on the mountain, so we'll use that. Hello~~ Is this Ms. Emerald?"

The mayor nodded, then took out his phone and arranged everything.

What troubled him was that his daughter had disappeared at this crucial moment.

"Larugo...where have you gone?"

Mayor Oriba frowned, sensing a deep unease.

boom! !

Deep in the verdant mountains, sunlight filters through the gaps, dappling the lush green leaves. Here, the Plasma Team's teammates keep their eyes fixed on their target, their net guns firing instantly as they pounce on the cat monster.

"Meow~ Meow..."

"Oh~~~ It's a cat monster. There are still some good Pokémon on this mountain. It's amazing that Pokémon from the Sinnoh region would appear here."

"Very good. This lively, undeveloped, and energetic Pokémon is worth capturing."

Thanks to Team Plasma's meticulous planning, even the fastest speed couldn't escape. The fishing net instantly wrapped the little cat monster up like a dumpling, binding it tightly.

The Plasma Team members investigated the area until... that moment.

"Are you alright? Zeraora, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that you got hurt."

Larugo sat on the rock, looking at Zeraora beside him with self-reproach.

Zeraora did not respond to this.

It hates humans.

Fifty years ago, Zeraora saved several Pokémon from a man-made fire in Windward City. Due to its environmental abuse, it became increasingly hostile towards people. The mayor of Windward City forbade people to explore the vicinity and fabricated the lie that Zeraora disappeared in the fire.

One day, while Larugo was playing in the mountains, a huge boulder fell from a cliff. Zeraora caught the boulder and saved Larugo, but Zeraora was injured in the process.

After learning of Zeraora's existence, Lajugo remained silent about Zeraora, while feeling guilty about the accident.

Afterwards, Larugo provided Orange Fruit and Moo Moo Milk to the injured Zeraora.

Humans are simply not trustworthy...

Zeraora only saved Rarugo because he was a human child, innocent and naive.

There were many ugly humans who came into the forest in an attempt to subdue it, only to set it ablaze.

It's Zeraora!

At this moment, the members of the Plasma Team smiled smugly upon seeing this.

"Report! Zeraora's location has been found, Lord Smura, what should we do next?"

"Observe first, then put on the mask. Zeraora is a Pokémon with a strong sense of justice, so for the sake of our future plans... we have to take 'despicable' actions."

"Fortunately... there are some capable scholars in Wind City who came to help us. We used this highly concentrated spore potion to capture Zeraora."

As he said this, Smura, one of the Seven Sages, took out the stolen spore potion, with the sacred fire placed beside him.

Both items were stolen by Team Plasma at great risk. Although most of the members have been arrested by the police and Officer Jenny, Smura showed no dissatisfaction now that she had gotten what she wanted.

In order to achieve the goal of freeing Pokémon from their constraints, and since Team Plasma should be the masters of Pokémon, Smurf believes that they must take some more drastic measures.

Spores: When attacked, they can sometimes poison, paralyze, or put to sleep any opponent that comes into contact with them.

Then... BOOM!!

The spore agent's outer shell suddenly shattered, releasing a powerful plume of smoke that began to spread through the mountains.

The smoke filled the air and gradually moved towards the direction of Wind City.

"What is that?!" "Has the spore serum already been opened?!" "Run!"

The smoke was so dense that it could be seen from a great distance. The residents of Wind City witnessed this unusual phenomenon and began to feel fear and unease.

"Coo coo~~" At the same time, Pidgey suddenly fell from its flight and landed on the ground.

"So strong."

The thick smoke made it possible for Ash and his friends to see clearly.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi roughly understood that they were already a step too late.

The smoke was moving towards Wind City, while Team Plasma's target was Zeraora.

[Zhibao, Team Plasma, are probably on this mountain. They're likely wearing masks, and the smoke is made with spore properties, meaning inhaling it will cause complete paralysis and immobilization.]

676 Xiao Zhi: I am the man who turns the impossible into the possible!

Ash listened calmly to Friko's analysis, then turned his gaze to the swirling smoke.

He glanced in the direction of Wind City, a deep glint in his eyes. With his superhuman eyesight, Ash clearly observed that there wasn't a particularly strong wind in the city. This was extremely rare in Wind City.

"The Olympic flame seems to have been stolen, and the wind in the city isn't working. That's probably Team Plasma's doing. It means we have to get the Olympic flame back, and we'll have to deal with Team Plasma along the way to ensure Zeraora is safe."

Plasma team...

Yuki instinctively clenched her hands, and the desire for revenge resurfaced in her heart.

She hasn't gotten revenge for being almost hypnotized before.

She almost had to part ways with her favorite Pokémon, and she won't easily forgive that.

Ash is not yet aware of Team Plasma's situation, but according to Lisa, things are about to get quite complicated.

"The research on the drug must have been successfully completed. If this continues, the city will suffer a disaster. What should we do?!"

Lisa's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but feel panicked.

"It's alright, calm down. I'm here, I'll definitely protect everyone."

Without a second thought, Ash activated his Aura and began investigating the area.

"Wait a minute... Didn't Ash's Pokémon battle Team Rocket's leader Giovanni a few weeks ago and get seriously injured? That's what the news said."

At this moment, Mitake Ran put one hand on her hip and couldn't help but tell the truth.

It's a stark reality, but it's an inescapable problem.

"This isn't a matter of ability; it's because I wanted to help that I took action. Even if one person can't do it, being with Pokémon makes it possible!"

"I have Pokémon with me, so I would never stop in a place like this." "Pikachu!"

Ash clenched his fists, his eyes revealing unwavering determination, having made up his mind.
