Area A of the protected area station, Carlos Alliance protected area crisis temporary command post.

Thornton stood in front of a young ranger with a gloomy expression.

There were two shallow scratches on his face, and the arms exposed outside the short-sleeved shirt had more than a dozen scratches and abrasions, large and small.

Just after he returned from rescuing a group of students, he heard the worst news of the day from Musa.

Almost all the students were rescued safely, but only the most powerful chief student, who was put in danger specifically to save others, was left behind.

"That is to say, Mr. Luo Kai, this river has many branches in the middle and lower reaches, and the environment is very dangerous, right?"

After hearing the ranger's explanation of the map, he suppressed his anger and self-blame and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Thornton, the current situation is that there are crazy wild Pokémon everywhere over there, and even two Overlord Pokémon have fallen into such an abnormal state. The protection area and the alliance command center

The requirement is to do everything possible to control these wild Pokémon as quickly as possible, and wait for the alliance's large forces to arrive and track down the mastermind. Our analysis is that this is definitely not a natural accident, and a wild Pokémon was captured.

An artificial drug of unknown composition has been detected in the body."

The ranger named Luo Kai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice despite Thornton's intimidating momentum.

"What about our students? Who will save them and how?"

As a teacher, Thornton has never cared so much. Rather than who is the mastermind behind this incident, he now wants to know the whereabouts of Philio.

"My colleague has already taken the signal receiver and headed downstream along the river. If he is still along the river, then we can at least obtain the signal of his locator. But if the locator is damaged, we can only rely on the mobile phone.

It will be very difficult. After this river leaves Area A, mobile phone communication is impossible in most areas it passes through. Unless it is on the top of a mountain, even our patrols must be equipped with special communicators."

Taking out a map of the entire protected area, Luo Kai pointed out the areas where Filio might appear one by one and explained.

"In other words, what we need to worry about now is the no-man's land between area A and area B. Even if my students are unharmed, they may encounter wild Pokémon of unknown origin here, or even worse,

The criminals who caused this crisis, right?"

Thornton, who was already dark-skinned, now has a darker face.

He could already imagine all the dangers Philio might encounter, and his heart twitched.

He knew very well that although his student was very capable, he was still among young people and students after all. If he really encountered the culprit who could plan this disaster, he would definitely not be able to fight back.

Thinking of this, he felt that he could no longer wait and was about to leave.

He must go find Filio himself.

"No, you can't go there, Mr. Thornton."

Luo Kai grabbed Thornton and spoke firmly.

"Reason."

Thornton turned around, his eyes like a sharp blade piercing Luo Kai's chest.

"I understand you, Teacher Thornton, and I also know that you are very strong, but this task cannot be completed only because you are strong. If there are really criminals there, you would only alert them in the past. Our rangers are professional

, they know how to hide themselves."

Luo Kai looked directly at Thornton without being humble or arrogant, and his reasonable words helped the impulsive man regain his sanity.

"I understand, then I will wait here? What else can I do?"

Sitting heavily on the chair, Thornton felt a little irritable with anxiety and powerlessness.

"There are many things you can do. The most important thing is to protect the students and resettle them. Then, when the large forces arrive, work with us to find the murderer behind the incident, no matter who it is or how many people there are.

, and let them pay the price."

"Bang"

Luo Kai slammed his fist on the map on the wall, his voice full of uncontrollable indignation.

As a ranger, he deeply hates villains who destroy nature and harm Pokémon and innocent people.

Having worked in Area A for many years, every Pokémon here, even every plant and tree, is devoted to his emotions.

------------------

In the south of Saluo City, an afterimage passed through the sky.

The speed of the Wrestling Eagle is so fast that it is almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye.

With one arm hanging on the Wrestling Eagle Man, Kerni looked eagerly to the southeast, wishing that she could rush to the protected area in an instant.

"You will be fine, Philio, right? You can even defeat me! Wait for me..."

Silently clenching her fists, she whispered to herself.

She was fully armed, and in her hand was a set of outdoor roller skating equipment that originally belonged to Philio.

She always believed that Philio would turn danger into disaster and fight side by side with her.

------------------

Sara City, Pokémon League branch.

An emergency advisory from the protected area has spread throughout the northwest region of Kalos.

The order from the alliance headquarters has also been placed on the desks of all participants.

On the rostrum, Jun Sha, as the commander-in-chief of the police force, gave an order and the entire branch took action.

Sara City, which had been peaceful for many years, once again started to operate at high speed like a sophisticated machine.

Among the first batch of teams to set off, in addition to the branch police team, there were also a few new faces.

One of them is not young, his hair is slightly sparse, and his face is full of undisguised murderous intent.

A purple figure that was originally naive but now extremely eerie, followed him step by step, exuding a frightening and domineering aura.

------------------

Filio is unaware of all changes in the external world.

At this moment, he was sitting in the woods, feasting with a few hungry little guys.

Whether it is a fierce battle or mobilizing the body's vitality to repair injuries, it requires a huge amount of energy. Big Mouth Baby and Ibrahimovic are already hungry, and even the dream monster who has eaten a little something in the middle is still feeling hungry.

Gurgling noise.

No matter how great the difficulty is, you must fill your stomach to overcome it.

Although no fire was allowed for safety reasons, the delicious elf food and energy cubes still made the three little guys full of belly.

Holding a piece of bread found in Ina's bag in one hand and a map in the other, Filio was eating while thinking about what he should do and how to do it.

During the moment when he was connected to Dazuiwa's mind, he saw some vague memory fragments.

Big Mouth was once captured by some evil forces. The injury when they first met was not caused by the wild Pokémon, but left behind by that.

It avoids itself in order not to injure itself.

Although Pokémon's values ​​are simple, they are full of sincerity.

Now for Filio, the most important question is where these fragmented memories occurred.

"...If you guessed it right, my position may not be far away from those bastards. This is really a first-class auditorium. In the entire Carlos, no one has a better position than me.

Damn...these bastards!"

Philio took a big bite of bread and said vaguely while chewing.

In his eyes shining with wisdom, a series of plans have begun to take shape.

------------------

"Qiduo!"

Walking by the river, the big-mouthed baby held by Philio pointed to the distance, raised his head again, and reminded Philio.

"You mean, those areas where rangers often appear should go that way, right?"

"Qiduo!"

"Well, okay, listen to you. We need to find a signal first, preferably a mobile phone signal. If it doesn't work, the signal of the locator can also be used. At least we can restore contact with the teachers. This used to be your home, right? Others

Was your Pokémon captured by the bad guys who captured you earlier?"

"Qi Duo! Qi Duo!"

"Well, I understand, I will help you get revenge. But we don't go to fight them directly. Such bad guys must be well prepared to catch them all, so we have to find a suitable place to pass the information back. You know

Are there places with relatively high terrain? For example, some highlands or something?"

"Qiduo...Qiduo!"

When the word "highland" was mentioned, the big-mouthed boy suddenly became very nervous, his muscles became completely tense, and he subconsciously shrank into Filio's arms.

But thinking of what Philio said, it plucked up the courage and pointed in a direction.

A place where bold and bellicose loud-mouthed kids would be so scared...

Come to think of it, there are only strongholds where those criminals are located.
To be continued...
