There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

At the crater of the volcano that was about to erupt and was emitting hot steam, after a violent shock and explosion, three figures quickly flew out from the center of the volcano and soared into the sky.

Two fossilized pterosaurs that look almost identical are suspended in the air.

They have a wide wingspan, flap their huge wings, and hover as steady as a rock.

Fujino Sakura, who was riding one of the beasts, yelled at the top of her lungs, "Mr. Xia Bo, is there any way to stop it?"

"I think... there is no way." Xia Bo poked his head out from behind Shuo Guye and looked at the huge black cloud under his feet.

That was the roar from the volcano.

"Let's leave here first." Kitazawa Lingyou looked at the flickering flames in the dark clouds, knowing that the danger was far from over.

"We are still too small in front of nature." Xia Bo shook his head helplessly and raised his hand to throw out two Poké Balls.

"Charizard Flamehorse, go and help the people retreat."

Inspired by Xia Bo, Sakutani Ye and Fujino Sakura, who are also trainers, looked at each other and realized that what the other was thinking was the same as their own.

"Fossil Pterosaur, Ditto, fly lower."

After the flight altitude decreased, the desperate shouts of people on the ground could be clearly heard.

The six cruise ships that were originally empty were now full. Even though the police officers tried their best to maintain order at the port, many emotional tourists still rushed onto the cruise ships or jumped into the sea despite the warnings.

"Captain!" A sailor looked at the obviously sinking ship, his forehead covered with sweat, "We can't take any more people! The ship is sinking!"

"I know."

The captain, who has been with this cruise ship for countless years, naturally knows the limits of his old friend.

But his eyes were looking at the people who were still waving their arms on the shore, with the last ray of hope in their eyes, and his mouth could not open to give orders.

"Take a few more people."

The captain gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He ordered in a deep voice, "Throw away all the useless things on the boat and make room for them!"

The sailor looked hesitantly at the countless certificates behind the captain that represented the ship and his glory.

"Do you want these... too?"

The captain looked back in the direction the sailor was looking.

Hearing the hesitant tone, he raised his elbow without hesitation to shatter the fragile glass, dragged the trophies with both hands, and threw them into the deep sea.

"Since it's a ship, it has only one purpose." The captain turned around and looked at the sailor standing upright, "That is to carry people!"

"Yes!"

----

"No, please!" The woman burst into tears and desperately tugged at the policeman's sleeve, begging in a hoarse voice, "Let my daughter get on the boat! She's very thin and won't take up any space! Please!"

"I have money, I have money! Let me get on the boat!"

"Stop pushing! Stop pushing!"

"Someone is going to die! Stop pushing forward!"

The cries of despair can't help but make people feel the same way.

His arms were already numb, but the young policeman still tried his best to stop the crowd from doing irrational things, and his eyes were filled with tears at some point.

Yes, all their police lifeboats were also contributed to the evacuation of the people.

As for the group of police officers who are still on the island to maintain order, they can only jump into the vast ocean and pray for a glimmer of hope.

If it weren't for the uniforms they were wearing, they would have wanted to turn around and run towards the hope of life like these people.

But in the end, he could only take a deep breath, suppress the fear in his heart, and shouted with a hoarse voice, "Calm down! The police have contacted Vermilion City, and the hundreds of cruise ships docked at Vermilion Port will be here soon!"

"Quick! A few more people!"

The policeman driving the speedboat stopped in front of the port, clasped his hands into a bucket shape, and put them to his mouth, "Let's take everyone to evacuate in this direction first! There are a lot of floating objects a few kilometers away! We will evacuate everyone in batches! Wait for rescue at the floating objects!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd, which was packed together like sardines in a can, became more and more agitated, rushing forward like waves.

Almost hundreds of people jumped into the sea from the port at the same time, using any means necessary to grab the few available spots.

"Don't squeeze! Someone fell!"

"Ah! Don't step on my mother! Get away!"

"Help! Someone is going to die!"

Screams and panic filled the air, and the little girl who was held high by her father felt unprecedented fear.

Everywhere she looked was despair and chaos.

She hugged the Poké Ball doll tightly in her arms. It was her only comfort and support.

The crazy crowd pushed each other, and even though the girl's father tried his best to keep his balance, his arms raised high inevitably began to shake and tremble.

The little girl looked at everything in front of her nervously, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

The next moment, the woman next to him lost her balance and fell.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness enveloped the girl.

Her pupils suddenly dilated, and the big hand that had been tightly locking her waist was pulled away in an instant.

The girl helplessly looked at the sky dyed black by volcanic ash, and the Poké Ball in her arms fell to the ground and was buried under people's feet.

"Caught!"

Different from his father's hands, but just as solid and reliable, they wrapped around his waist.

The girl almost instantly escaped from the distance of only a few millimeters from the ground. After the wind violently brushed across her cheeks, she buried herself in the embrace with the scent of caramel.

The girl raised her head cautiously, and what came into her sight were the boy's smiling eyes.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Sakuya Ye patted the girl's back and turned to look at the dark group of Pokémon flapping their wings in the air behind him.

They are all entrusted by their trainers to come and rescue people in times of crisis.

"Green vine snake, Bulbasaur!"

The trainer didn't even need to say much. He pulled the girl onto the back of the fossil pterosaur and stabbed the vine into the bottom again. It was like the only rope of hope visible at the bottom of the well, pulling one helpless person after another out of the sea of ​​suffering.

The flying Pokémon were orderly distributed on the sides of the two fossil pterosaurs, waiting for the two grass-type Pokémon to pull the people below onto their backs, flap their wings vigorously, and fly away into the distance.

It also leaves room for the next Flying-type Pokémon.

Just as the young police officer was looking at the scene in shock, many people who were pushed into the sea by the crowd, struggling in the rough waves with their arms outstretched, also inexplicably floated up from the water.

They looked down into the water.

Several water-type Pokémon poked their heads out and stopped on both sides of the harbor.

Large water-type Pokémon, such as Gyarados, Blastoise, Lapras, etc., are staying at people's feet with dignity, and only fly away into the distance after they are full of people.

The small water-type Pokémon held a few ropes in its mouth and used body language to signal people to tie the ropes around their waists, then it led them away with great effort.

"Pokémon!"

The water Pokémon looked up in the direction of the sound.

High in the sky, Miss Junsha, sitting on the back of Pidgeot, was holding two children in her arms and shouting.

Her condition was extremely miserable.

The police hat was blown away by the sea breeze, bloodstains covered his body, and his exquisite uniform had long been turned into rags in the fight.

But she still uses her sweet yet powerful voice to guide the lost Pokémon.

"This way! The first fleet coming to support us is not far away!"

......

"Oh my God..." The little policeman was still in a daze and hadn't come to his senses until he was thrown onto the back of the Charizard by the whip.

"There were so many people... but they all evacuated..."

"This is all thanks to Pokémon, right?"

Next to him, a young man holding a girl in his arms heard his mumbling, tilted his head, smiled and said, "Mr. Policeman, remember to help find her father."

As they spoke, the two Pokémon flying high in the sky came closer and closer, and before the young police officer could react, there was a limp girl in his arms.

"Ah... yes! Leave it to me!"

The young police officer accepted the task reflexively, but when he turned around, he saw two identical Pokémon turning back and flying towards the Crimson Lotus Island which was lit with dazzling pillars of fire.

"Hey, that place is too dangerous! What are you going to do?!"

"Don't worry, we are Pokémon trainers!" Fujino Sakura turned around and waved, with a flamboyant smile on her bright face, "Of course we will go find the culprit!"

"Fossilized pterosaur..."

Shuoya Ye looked at the helicopter rising shakily in the distance, and then looked at the trees turning into ashes under his feet being swallowed by the magma, the houses that collapsed completely, and the wailing Red Lotus Island.

There was a fierce light in his eyes and he spoke in a resolute tone.

"Destroy the Death Ray!"

----

Miracle.

This is the only word in the minds of people watching the news.

Especially seeing Honglian Island completely disappeared from the map, and the number of deaths marked on the side, the perfectly shaped duck egg.

Tens of thousands of tourists were evacuated in just five minutes!

The death toll is zero! The number of injured is less than a hundred!

No Pokémon died in this man-made disaster!

"This is the first time I feel so grateful for the power of capital." Fujino Sakura looked at the island that disappeared in the news with fear. "At least thanks to its influence, the Pokémon living on Crimson Island have long since moved away from the island to live elsewhere."

"What are you talking about?"

Beside her, Maruta Kei, whose eye bags were so big that they almost dragged on the ground, held his cell phone anxiously and said with a gloomy expression.

"All my family's money has been invested in that research institute, and now..."

Maruta Jing looked at the outstanding balance that kept appearing on his cell phone and his eyes went dark.

"...Our family is bankrupt!!"

Fujino Sakura looked at the pitiful boy with a slightly sympathetic look.

As one of the few real victims of the Crimson Lotus Island crisis, Fujino Sakura expressed that some humanitarian concern is still necessary.

"So what are you going to do in the future? Continue to challenge the Quartz Competition, or go home and do business?"

"No, I still have a chance."

Maruta Jing completely ignored Fujino Sakura's question and said to himself, "I remember seeing the gambling pool on the dark web before. The largest prize pool in the past few sessions seemed to be..."

Who will win the Quartz Competition?

As soon as the Pokémon League released the information of this year's contestants, the dark web began to place bets and invest in this year's champion.

Some people become billionaires overnight, while others lose everything overnight.

Maruta Jing stood up suddenly, the teardrop mole under his eye glittering in the sunset, "Place your bet! And win the championship!"

"Phew... I was scared to death." Sakura Fujino patted her heart and rolled her eyes at the high-spirited boy, reminding him, "Friendly reminder, you are still eight gym badges away from qualifying for the Quartz Competition."

"You used to think about cheating, so what are you going to do now that you are bankrupt?"

Maruta Kei's raised arms froze for a moment, but he quickly remembered something and ran towards the Pokémon Center.

"Sakutani! Did you just get the Crimson Badge?! Is the gym trainer still here? Aa ...

"Wow." Fujino Sakura looked at the boy's exhaust and shrugged as if she was used to it.

"Another teleportation."

The following content comes from Shuoya Ye's diary

A lot has been happening lately.

First of all, Ditto and I received the teachings of Mr. Xia Bo as we wished, and we have made great progress in the release and response of fire-type skills.

The second thing is that Ganta hurriedly found me a few days ago and asked about the location of Mr. Xia Bo, whom he had previously sneered at, and had a rather simple gym match with him.

But after the game, Mr. Xia Bo said that all the crimson badges were lost when the gym was swallowed up, and the one I gave me was the last gym badge in his hand.

However, Mr. Xia Bo said that he has submitted an application to the Pokémon League, and the new gym and gym badges should be built soon, and he will then mail them to the challengers.

As for whether the gym and badge will still be called "Red Lotus Gym" and "Crimson Badge" in the future, Mr. Xia Bo said he had no comment.

He really is like a child, confident, free and enthusiastic.

When Sakura challenged the gym match, the malicious Mr. Xia Bo sent Charmeleon, Charizard and Flamebron to closely follow her in the gym match, under the pretext that "even if the lava pool is gone, the burning will of the challenge cannot be easily omitted!"

This made Sakura so hot that she was sweating profusely and could hardly think. The Nine-Tails seized the opportunity and killed her instantly, and she unfortunately lost the gym tournament.

It’s just that Mr. Xia Bo said some very strange things to Sakura after the gym competition.

"Whether you want to be a trainer or take any other path, the path you want to take firmly is the right path."

“If you are confused, you might as well stop and think carefully about what kind of life you want to live in the future.”

"If you can still tell me firmly that you want to become a trainer, I will wait for you here."

"When you challenge me again, take this badge from me."

The good news is that under Mr. Xia Bo's puzzle-sea strategy, I have vaguely grasped the essence of the answer, and it probably won't take long for me to answer the first puzzle correctly.

Professor Oak contacted me two days ago and told me that because our progress was too slow, the time originally reserved by Professor Akihabara to build the energy transmission device for Eevee was running out.

So he took this opportunity to take Ibrahimovic away and wait for us to travel to Matcha City to pick him up.

After Ibrahimovic left, I felt a little uncomfortable because there was no kid around me who liked to play with me.

Fortunately, the day after Eevee left, the Pokémon egg that had already shown signs of hatching finally successfully hatched a Pokémon.

As an encyclopedia, Lingyou came over and took a look, and determined that it was called Ralts, a psychic-type Pokémon.

Although Miss Joy's examination showed that Lalulas was in very good health, I always felt something was wrong when I looked at its thin body.

But I couldn't tell what was wrong.

But now it seems that all I can do is observe more and pay more attention.

In addition to us, the world outside has also undergone tremendous changes.

The most shocking thing was that Mr. Champion, the champion of the Kanto League, resigned due to illness, and the championship throne of Kanto was left vacant, waiting for the next champion to sit on the throne.

However, this news does not seem to have any impact on us. After all, at this moment I still need to move towards Crimson City and obtain the fifth gym badge.

Even the Quartz Competition is still far away, not to mention the vague dream of winning the championship.

At this point, our journey continues.

Light red badge, wait for me!
