Elf: Release? Not possible.

"You...your house is a gym, and you didn't even know that?"

"This is Guild President Damaranch, the manager of the Pokémon League's Holy Flame and the person in charge of the Pokémon League Conference!" Xiaogang spoke with a little surprise.

I didn’t expect that the trainers from the Cerulean Gym didn’t even know President Dharma Ranchi. You know, this is the immediate superior of the trainers in their gym.

"Uh... now that I think about it, I seem to have seen him on TV..."

Xiaoxia felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. In this way, the old man was indeed their superior, but she had not paid much attention to it before. As for Sakura and the others, they didn't seem like the kind of people who would specifically explain these things to Xiaoxia.

"Xiaozhi, why are you here?" Miss Junsha stepped forward and asked. She had heard from Miss Joy that Xiaozhi had challenged the Tokiwa Gym before.

But it happened a month ago, and I thought Xiaozhi should have left long ago.

"Yes! We are going to Quartz Plateau to participate in the Quartz Competition!" Xiaozhi responded after hearing the voice.

"I see. I didn't expect that you would qualify for the tournament not long after becoming a trainer. Congratulations, Xiaozhi!"

Miss Junsha responded with a smile after hearing this, and she felt a little nostalgic. A few months ago, Xiaozhi was still a rookie trainer.

In just a few months, I have qualified for the Quartz Conference. As someone who witnessed Xiaozhi's beginning, I feel nostalgic.

You know, although collecting eight badges allows you to join the Pokémon League, among new trainers, only about 20-30% can do it, or even less.

"Thank you!"

Xiaozhi is not being modest. The fact that he is qualified to be a rookie trainer is something to be proud of, in fact, even in the anime.

When he joined the league, most of his opponents were older than Xiaozhi, with only one or two rivals being of the same age.

This shows that there are indeed very few trainers who can qualify to join the league at the age of rookies.

"From the look of you just now, you seemed to be letting the Pokémon follow Team Rocket, right?" At this time, Damalanchi suddenly spoke.

"Yes!" Xiaozhi responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his expression surprised Damalanchi a little.

"Then where do you think they will run to?" Feeling Xiaozhi 490's attitude towards him, Damalanqi did not get angry, but felt very relaxed instead.

"We should go back to Tokiwa Gym!" Xiaozhi listened and glanced at the building in the distance. This was his guess.

Damalachi narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing the voice. Listening to what Xiaozhi said, Damalachi thought to himself, could it be that this matter was really caused by Banmu?

"Xiaozhi, Watari and Kikuko told me about you. First of all, I want to thank you on behalf of the Pokémon League."

He didn't mention the matter for the time being, but instead looked at Xiaozhi with appreciation and spoke kindly.

"It's just a small favor. They're so polite!" Xiaozhi knew that Du and the others might have talked about him behind his back, so he was not surprised.

"This is not a simple task. Based on your contact with Team Rocket, do you think that person was behind the taking of the Holy Flame?"

I would like to express my gratitude to Xiaozhi first, but the last question is the key point.

Everyone else was surprised, especially Damalachi's bodyguard, because Damalachi was now asking Xiaozhi about his affairs as if he was discussing things with his usual alliance members.

You know, ordinary trainers would be so nervous that they could barely speak after just a few words with President Damalanchi, but this boy remained calm.

Chapter 600: Transmitting Spirit (Subscription Request)

Xiaozhi didn't know what the bodyguards were thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't change his attitude.

Although Dama Lanqi holds a high position, he is not arrogant at all. His catchphrase is "I can't stand it anymore!!"

What can't he stand? Actually, he can't stand everyone behaving in front of him. When he first met Xiaozhi and others in the anime.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were both embarrassed by his status, but Xiaozhi's behavior of having zero IQ and EQ made him value him very much, and they agreed to let Xiaozhi be the torchbearer in person.

Xiaozhi had no idea what the bodyguard was thinking. He just listened to what Dharma Ranchi said, glanced at the Tokiwa Gym and spoke.

"No!" Xiaozhi responded firmly.

What use could Moltres' flames have on Itaki? It was obvious that Musashi and the others were just acting on their own. He once even had Moltres, and not everyone would take a mere ball of fire so seriously.

"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Damalanqi became interested instantly after hearing what Xiaozhi said, and seemed very curious about what Xiaozhi said.

"It's just a ball of Moltres' flame. It's of no use to him." Xiaozhi responded calmly. Of course, this was from Itsuki's perspective.

"What did you say? That's the most important sacred fire. Without it, we can't hold the Alliance Conference!"

Xiaozhi said this, but others didn't think so. After hearing Xiaozhi's words, the bodyguards around Damalanqi couldn't help but speak.

You know, Damalanchi has been guarding the holy fire for decades. What Xiaozhi said did cause some trouble for him, but Damalanchi himself did not say anything.

"It's just a formality. Isn't the important thing about the League Tournament a place where trainers work hard and finally verify their results?"

"As long as that spirit is still there, the tournament can continue even without the Holy Flame. Trainers participate in the competition to verify their own strength, or to see the Holy Flame..."

Looking at the other party's angry look, Xiaozhi remained calm. The torch relay itself is about transmitting spirit.

"You..." The bodyguard didn't know how to respond for a moment after hearing Xiaozhi's words.

"Hahahaha! After all these years, someone finally understands the true meaning of the Holy Flame Relay."

However, at this time, Damalanqi stopped the bodyguard and then burst into laughter.

"From the very beginning, when I decided to hold the Pokémon League Conference, I decided to hold the torch relay ceremony."

"But many people don't know the purpose of doing this. Over time, people just regard it as a sacred ritual."

"But actually, my original idea was that I hope this spirit of endless passion can be passed on forever."

Seeing Damalanqi laughing heartily, Miss Junsha and the bodyguard next to him were very surprised, but after listening to his reasons, they slowly calmed down.

"But, Xiaozhi..." After expressing his thoughts, Damalanchi looked at Xiaozhi seriously again.

"Although the spirit is more important, the passing of the Holy Flame over the years has also become an inspiration to trainers!"

"When the flame is passed from city to city, it is like encouraging trainers who have dreams."

"Just like the trainer and Pokémon are inseparable, the Holy Flame is also indispensable, so I must find it back!"

Damalanqi looked serious. Maybe just lighting a fire could replace it, but the spirit of inheritance was as inseparable as the flame.

The flame of the Moltres will not go out, and the spirit of inheritance cannot be extinguished either. He must get the holy fire back no matter what, otherwise the Alliance Conference will not be able to start on time.

Xiaozhi was deeply touched by what Damalanqi said. Damalanqi was right. The holy fire was actually just a form.

However, this form gradually became a belief in the hearts of many trainers. Every time they passed through some cities, they knew that the league conference was about to begin again.

Many people who have not yet become trainers will also be influenced and join the ranks of trainers. This is why trainers can thrive in this world.

Than Diao~~~~

Just at this moment, a sound came from the sky. Xiaozhi looked up and found that Pidgeot had flown back.

"Have you found it?" Xiaozhi asked immediately after seeing the Pidgeot in the sky.

than~~~~

After hearing the sound, the Pidgeot bird nodded and then changed direction.

"｀ ~Follow them!!" Xiaozhi didn't say much, just said to Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, and the three of them followed immediately.

"Xiaozhi, wait a moment, President, please wait here for a while, we will definitely bring the Holy Flame back!"

Miss Junsha wanted to call Xiaozhi, but the three had already left.

Miss Junsha could only let Damalanqi stay where he was for the time being. After all, he was so old and had a special status and she couldn't let anything happen to him.

After saying that, Miss Junsha brought a few police officers and followed Xiaozhi and the other two. Seeing this scene, Damalanqi stood where he was and spoke after a moment.

"Let's go there too!"

"President... Miss Junsha asked us to wait here!" The bodyguards were stunned after hearing the voice, and then spoke with some embarrassment.

It's not that they don't dare to go, it's because the president's safety is too important. Now when they heard that the president was going to go too, they were shocked.

If anything happened to the president, they would not be able to take responsibility.

"As the manager of the Holy Flame, how can I watch young people take risks while I wait here when something like this happens?"

What Damalanqi hates most is that others always elevate his status. He has always been committed to training young trainers.

Now seeing Xiaozhi and the others risking their lives to help, he was a little worried, even though Xiaozhi said very confidently that this matter had nothing to do with Banmu.

But if this matter is related to Itsuki, it is still very dangerous. Even though Xiaozhi once defeated Itsuki in the Tokiwa Gym, people like Itsuki cannot be treated with ordinary eyes.

"President, please slow down!" Dama Lanqi ignored the bodyguards' dissuasion and walked straight ahead. Seeing this, the bodyguards had no choice but to follow him.

Joban Gym

At this time, in the yard behind the Tokiwa Gym, a figure was sitting leisurely in the yard, crossing his legs and drinking coffee.

On the grass at your feet, a big cat was lying lazily. The scene looked extremely leisurely.

"BOSS, Musashi and Kojiro said they want to see you!" At this moment, a figure walked in and spoke respectfully.

"Huh?? They haven't escaped yet?"

When he heard the two of them, Banmu's expression changed slightly and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Since the announcement of the disbandment of Team Rocket, most of the monkeys have left the organization.

Another part went to the Johto region, and the rest insisted on staying with him, and he did not object.

He thought that Musashi and Kojiro had already left with the disbanded people, but after hearing what his men said, he became a little interested.

"Let them in!"

"Yes!" The subordinate responded and then quickly retreated. Soon two figures walked in with Meow Meow.

"Boss! We finally see you!"

When they saw Itaki, whether it was Musashi, Koji 490ro or Meow Meow, they all looked like they were about to cry, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

"Didn't I already tell you that Team Rocket announced its disbandment? What are you still doing here?" Banmu looked at the two people in front of him and Meowth, and responded calmly.

"Why, boss? Is it just because you lost to a little brat like that?" Hearing this, Musashi spoke excitedly.

You know, they never gave up despite repeated failures, but the boss chose to give up after failing once.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Is this the reason you came to me this time?"

Banmu shook the cup in his hand slightly, his own shadow reflected in the coffee, and spoke leisurely.

"No, we hope that the boss can cheer up and lead us to conquer the world again."

"In order to cheer you up, we have brought a very precious thing." After listening to Banmu's words, the two of them quickly took out the glass container containing the sacred fire.

Because it is the flame of the Moltres, even without oxygen, it will not go out in this closed container.

"Ok??"

Banmu turned his head and glanced after hearing the sound, and the cat boss next to him seemed to have heard something precious and looked up, but only for a glance, and then immediately lay down again.

"Boss, this is not an ordinary flame. This is the sacred fire used exclusively by the Pokémon League. It is the flame of Moltres."

"Without this thing, the Pokémon League won't be able to continue!"

Musashi and the other two, as well as Meow Meow, spoke excitedly like little kids seeking credit.

Banmu's expression changed slightly when he heard the voice. This thing was of no use to him at all. It could even be said that Musashi and Kojiro's flattering behavior was no different from that of a clown.

If it were someone else, they would have probably started laughing, but at this moment, Banmu remained silent and could not laugh.

Yes! Although in the eyes of those who know Itaki, Musashi and Kojiro are nothing but clowns.

If it were Itsuki as before, he would also be dismissive, but since he announced the disbandment after fighting with Xiaozhi, he has also discovered a lot of things.

Although these two people in front of him are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, they are truly loyal to him, just like the other members who are still in this gym.

While snatching the Holy Flame had no value in his eyes, it was everything that Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth, three seemingly insignificant members of Team Rocket, had.

I went to so much trouble to do this, and the reason for doing this was just to please him.

"You did a great job, I like this gift very much!" After a moment's silence, Banmu said lightly.

"Thank you, Boss. This is just the beginning. We will definitely keep up the good work! You must cheer up as soon as possible."

Hearing Banmu's praise, the three of them immediately showed tears of gratitude.
