Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Po Kong Yan lay beside the rock wall, the charred wounds on his body slowly healing under the effect of the medicine, giving him a cool sensation.

Li Shuwen used waveguide power to communicate with the Void-Breaking Flame.

"Flare, do you know what corrupts the energy of these Pokémon?"

Po Kongyan raised his head, a distant memory flashing in his eyes.

"Of course, I once followed the adventurer Lucius to travel to various places and eventually discovered this strange energy from the universe with a peculiar corrosive power."

"To protect the safety of the Padia region, Lucius paid a heavy price, sealing this energy, which he named the Lac element, in the center of Zone Zero."

"However, as time goes by, the seal is gradually showing signs of breaking."

"Even though I and the Pokémon who followed Lucius back then tried our best to maintain it, we couldn't stop the Lac element from eroding the seal."

Li Shuwen nodded and asked:

"Could you take me to the place where the seal is located? Perhaps I have a way to strengthen it."

Po Kongyan nodded, "Of course, no problem. From the aura emanating from your power, I can sense that you are a very good person."

Li Shuwen relayed the situation to Shirona.

After hearing this, Cynthia's eyes lit up, and she looked at Blazing Flame:

"You mean you have five companions who are just as strong as you?"

Li Shuwen glanced at her helplessly; her focus had indeed wandered off again.

He communicated with Po Kong Yan again, and Po Kong Yan nodded and said:

"Some of them are about my level, but some are much better than me."

After hearing the retelling, Cynthia's eyes lit up even more, and she continued to ask:

"While we're dealing with the Lac element, could you please have a little sparring session with my Pokémon?"

Po Kongyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course, no problem. It's just that I haven't had a proper rest in a long time because I've been cleaning up Pokémon that have been contaminated by Lac elements."

"I might need to rest before I have the energy to spar with this lady's Pokémon."

Cynthia patted Li Shuwen on the shoulder, "Shuwen, I'm counting on you."

Based on his experience raising Cynthia, Li Shuwen created a brand new type of Pokémon food for Cynthia, one of the six heroes.

He discovered that the body of the Voidfire had also been tainted by the Lac element, but it was unaware of it.

Perhaps, the fact that it and its companions were tainted by the Lak element is the reason why the seal gradually became ineffective.

Li Shuwen wanted to try purifying the Lak element on Po Kong Yan's body to see if it would help maintain their seal.

After eating the elf food, Po Kongyan praised Li Shuwen for his excellent cooking skills, saying that he hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time.

Po Kongyan's body suddenly trembled violently.

He let out a painful roar as purple flames erupted from his body.

The flames twisted and leaped as if alive, scorching the surrounding air.

Po Kongyan's eyes turned blood red, and the rationality in his pupils was rapidly fading.

The element of Lak lay dormant within it, now activated by the energy of its food, like a venomous snake awakened, unleashing a frenzied backlash.

Cynthia decisively unleashed her Sky-Piercing Flame.

"I felt something was off earlier, and sure enough, I was right."

"Breaking Flame, so you've betrayed us too?"

The raging Sky-Breaking Flame let out a painful roar, trying to explain.

But the Lak element had already taken over most of its consciousness, making it unable to control its body.

Driven by his violent emotions, Po Kong Yan unleashed Dragon God Dive.

His body was enveloped in deep purple dragon energy, but his target was not Cynthia.

Po Kong Yan still retained some of its rationality and did not directly attack humans.

He chose to crash into Cynthia's Skybreaker.

"We'll use Dragon God Dive too!" Cynthia's voice was decisive.

Her body, wreathed in crimson flames, unleashed a powerful attack, meeting the attack head-on.

Two flames pierced the air and collided in mid-air.

boom--!

The purple and red dragon energies raged and tore at each other.

The power of the Raging Skyfire was superior; Cynthia's Skyfire was knocked away and crashed to the ground, shattering large chunks of rock.

He has now lost in a direct confrontation of power, how can this be forgiven!

Piercing Flame began to put immense pressure on himself!

Power, come forth!

He roared as he stood up, the red flames on his body burning even more fiercely, and once again unleashed Dragon God Dive.

This time, the power of the Dragon God's dive has increased by more than half.

The two flames clashed again, and the purple and red flames exploded violently.

The surrounding rocks were pulverized, trees were broken, and the ground was blasted into one large crater after another.

In the third collision, both Blazing Flames unleashed their full power, and the explosion turned the entire area a purplish-red hue.

A sharp cry came from the sky.

A Galarian Moltres swooped down from the clouds, its black feathers gleaming with a purple sheen.

Even though Blaze has been corrupted by the Rak element and its appearance has changed drastically, Galarian Moltres still chooses to support its friend.

Galarian Moltres unleashed its fury, spewing out jet-black flames that shot towards Cynthia's Skyfire.

Cynthia unleashed Zapdos, "It blocked with Thunderbolt!"

Golden bolts of lightning shot from Zapdos' wings, colliding with the dark flames and exploding into a burst of light that was a mixture of purple and gold.

Galarian Moltres continuously used Dark Pulse, spewing out waves of dark energy from its mouth one after another.

Zapdos countered with Thunderbolt, golden lightning bolts and jet-black energy waves crisscrossing in the air.

However, they were all evaded by the opponent's superior speed and superb flying skills.

Occasionally, the two forces collide and explode in mid-air, blasting out bursts of dazzling light.

Finally, Zapdos seized the opportunity.

Galarian Moltres was momentarily stunned after unleashing its Dark Pulse.

He turned his body and unleashed a lightning strike incorporating the Swallow Return technique!

Zapdos transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, striking Galarian Moltres in the chest.

It was knocked down from the air and crashed to the ground.

Just then, a giant Oliva emerged from the forest.

Oliva's body resembles an ancient olive tree, its canopy blocking out the sun.

She scattered countless seeds, which fell to the ground and transformed into a green field, their verdant light covering the entire battlefield.

Galarian Moltres's strength began to recover, and its wounds slowly healed in the light of the grassy field.

Meanwhile, Oliva grew many slender vines, which wove into a net to block the Galarian Moltres.

The Zapdos's electromagnetic cannon shot at the vine web, shattering the vines, but new vines grew endlessly.

Oliva uses a sweet aroma, with a rich fruity scent that fills the air.

The fragrance carried a strange, calming power, causing all the Pokémon present to quiet down.

The roar of the raging Sky-Breaking Flame weakened, and the struggle of the Galarian Moltres also slowed down.

Li Shuwen seized the opportunity and struck, pinning the raging Void-Breaking Flame to the ground.

His hands pressed against the back of the Blazing Flame, and the pearl ring and diamond ring lit up simultaneously, with pink and blue light surging into the Blazing Flame's body.

Extract those lurking Lac elements one by one.

The body of the raging Sky-Breaking Flame trembled violently, and the purple flames were peeled away layer by layer by the pink and blue interwoven light.

The eyes of the Blazing Flame gradually changed from blood red back to clear gold.

When the last trace of Rak element was absorbed by the ring, Blazing Flame regained consciousness.
