At this time, Su Yi finally saw the situation clearly: Tortoiseshell was lying quietly on the ground, only its body rising and falling slightly with its steady breathing, and next to it was a Pokémon with purple-red phantom fire burning on its neck.
"The Xi Cui Fire Beast?!" Su Yi said in surprise, and the Xi Cui Fire Beast also looked at him vigilantly.
"What happened to the Fierce Claw Dragon?!"
Su Yi said in a deep voice, Dragonite did not respond to his call, and it was obvious that something was wrong with it now, but Infernape's personality was mostly gentle and friendly, and it should not be an evil Pokémon.
"Baku?" Infernape looked at Su Yi, and Su Yi looked at Lucario.
Lucario immediately translated: "It's asking what your relationship is with this big guy?"
Su Yi turned to the Inferno Beast and said seriously: "It is my partner."
"Baku! Baku-woo! Baku!"
Infernape first breathed a sigh of relief, then let out an anxious cry.
"Uh, Su Yi, it said that the Fierce Claw Dragon accidentally swallowed its food into its stomach."
Su Yi: "?!"

Chapter 521: The "Evil Spirit Possessed" Fierce Claw Dragon
"That... What did the fierce claw dragon swallow of yours?" Su Yi asked anxiously.
“Baku.”
Lucario translated: "It said that the Fierce Claw Dragon swallowed its suppression stone."
"Suppression stone?"
Su Yi was stunned. In his memory of the Pokémon world, he seemed to have never heard of this thing.
"Baku."
Seeing Su Yi's puzzled expression, the Xicui Fire Beast took out a stone from somewhere and showed it to Su Yi.
Su Yi's pupils shrank slightly. Now he recognized it. He subconsciously said in surprise: "Isn't this the keystone that sealed the flower rock monster?!"
"Baku?! Baku."
The Xicui Fire Beast showed a slightly surprised look, as if it didn't expect that there were humans who knew these things, and then it explained to Su Yi.
Legend has it that due to the influence of the "spiritual energy" of Tianguan Mountain, the Fire Beasts in the Xicui area possessed ghost attributes. Although the specific way they acquired this attribute is unknown, the Fire Beasts in the Xicui area gained the ability to perceive "souls".
They devour souls that have nowhere to go and purify them, using this to strengthen their own power.
When they have purified 108 souls, their merit is complete, and the 108 will-o'-the-wisp flames around their necks will be strengthened. This is a custom passed down from generation to generation by the Xicui Fire Beast.
But some souls with obsessions or evil thoughts cannot be simply purified. Once they gather together, they will generate evil flower rock monsters.
An ancient hero was inspired by the way the Jadewasher purifies its soul, created the Keystone, and used "magic" to seal the Flower Rock Monster inside.
Today, there is a huge keystone near the Yunwu ruins, which is where other keystones are stored.
Because the Xi Cui Fire Beasts can sense souls, since some time ago, a group of Xi Cui Fire Beasts has taken on the responsibility of sealing the evil souls in various places in Xi Cui.
Nowadays, the Xi Cui area is in turmoil due to the influence of the two gods of time and space. Troubled times are prone to breed "wandering ghosts", and the flower rock monsters may also take advantage of the situation to cause chaos. So the group of Xi Cui fire beasts began to roam the Xi Cui area, searching for and sealing ghosts.
This Jade-washed Fire Beast had sealed 108 souls and was about to go to the large keystone in the Cloud Ruins to store the keystone. As a result, these 108 souls with evil thoughts happened to generate a Flower Rock Monster in the keystone, and the Fierce Claw Dragon happened to meet it and helped.
But when the Devil's Neck was biting it with its mouth, the Flower Rock Monster cleverly retracted into the keystone. However, the keystone was too small for the Devil's throat, so it was swallowed into its stomach.
Then, the Fierce Claw Dragon fell into a coma-like state.
Obviously, the Xicui Fire Beast had never encountered such a situation before, so it could only wait and think of a solution.
Su Yi pondered and said, "Looking at the situation, it should be the evil spirit in the flower rock monster that is causing trouble."
The evil spirits in the Flower Rock can enter the bodies of living organisms and manipulate them, while some ghost-type Pokémon can drive out the souls that have entered the bodies of living organisms.
Su Yi remembered that Lai Beicha's tea could do it, but where could he find Lai Beicha now? Was he going to fly across the ocean to Galar to look for her?
That is a very long distance, and the Black Wolf Bird and Thousand Blade Dragon have not yet fully recovered.
What's more, the current situation is not just "evil spirit possession", but the entire flower rock monster is in the belly of the fierce claw dragon.
Will the keystone be digested over time? Will the flower rock monster be completely released? What will be the consequences?
All this is unknown.
Su Yi expressed his worries. After listening, the Jade Fire Beast thought hard and finally said helplessly: "Baku."
Lucario said: "It said that it would only seal wandering souls into keystones. Maybe only that ancient hero knows how to seal the Flower Rock Monster into another keystone."
"So, how did the ancient hero seal the rock monster?" Su Yi asked.
“Baku Baku.”
The Green Washed Fire Beast scratched its flabby ears and muttered to itself as it tried to recall the past.
Lucario said in surprise: "It said that the ancient hero seemed to be a wave guide. He should have used the wave guide's method to seal the flower rock monster."
"Waveguide Messenger?!"
After hearing this, Su Yi suddenly remembered that it was mentioned in the animation that a certain rock monster was sealed by a wave messenger with Pikachu.
The Wave Hero Alan once used the Wave to seal Lucario in the gem of his staff.
Waveguide is a kind of spiritual energy. In a broad sense, mind actually includes the meaning of soul.
"What a coincidence! I just happen to know a wave guide messenger!" Su Yi said excitedly.
Su Yi and his party hurried back to the King Kong Village, but were told by Dr. Laben that Yabai and Xiaozhao had gone to investigate the Pokémon in the Red Lotus Wetlands.
"They should be back for lunch at noon," said Dr. Laben.
By that time, the keystone would have probably been digested by the Devil's Claw as breakfast. Don't underestimate the digestive ability of carnivorous monsters. They often eat bones and scales of creatures, which are harder than rocks, but they can still digest them.
Su Yi said with a headache: "I can only go find them immediately."
In this age without electronic communications, the only way to find someone is to use the most primitive method, which is to search all over the mountains and fields.
"Young man, if you need to find someone, let Moon Bear help you. He has a very keen sense of smell."
At this time, Xipu from the Pearl Team came over with Yueyue Bear.
Su Yi had helped her and Moonbear when they were treating Pokémon in the King Kong Village. She also heard that Su Yi had selflessly donated a batch of medicines to injured wild Pokémon. Influenced by Huo Xia, she decided to let go of her stubbornness.
Dr. Laben saw this and took out a Poké Ball and said, "This is the Poké Ball that Xiaozhao used to help me capture Pokémon. There should be her scent on it, but it should be very faint."
“Woooooo!”
The Moon Bear's powerful sense of smell is in some ways even stronger than that of the Guide Insect. It just took a simple sniff and remembered Xiaozhao's scent.
Xiaozhao and Yabai are investigating the crazy Pokémon on the Yunhai Mountain Trail, and they meet Miss Skirt, the Queen of the Trail, who is using her pollen to calm the frantic Pokémon.
Just when they were about to help together, an unexpected guest found them.
"Are you Mr. Wang Luo?" Xiaozhao said in surprise.
Of course she knew the always smiling member of the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce, and she would occasionally buy things from him, but she was a little surprised by Wang Luo's outfit now.
Compared to his previous attire as a traveling merchant, Wang Luo now dresses more like a scholar or a priest.
"Long time no see, everyone from Team Galaxy, but I'm not here to see you today."
Wang Luo smiled and stretched out his hand to Miss Qun'er: "Queen of Shandao, please give me the stone tablet given by Arceus."
"Dore!"
Miss Skirt refused sternly and became wary of him.
"It's not up to you!"
Wang Luo sneered and threw the Poké Ball. A ferocious Land Shark rushed towards Miss Skirt at a rapid speed.
"what are you going to do?!"
Xiaozhao was surprised at Wangluo's actions and immediately sent Pikachu to stop him. Yabai also sent Lucario to help.
At this time, Wang Luo threw the Poké Ball again, and a Roselado and Zephyrus stopped Pikachu and Lucario respectively.
"Don't bother me!" Wang Luo had a smile on his face, but his tone was quite grim.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 522 Wang Luo: I won’t pretend anymore! I’m going to show my cards!
Wang Luo has always presented himself as a kind and amiable good man in front of everyone, and the Pokémon he usually uses is the cute Togepi, so he has always been a harmless businessman in the eyes of everyone.
Until today, he took out three generals and not only beat Xiaozhao and Yabai miserably, but also suppressed Miss Quner, the Queen of the Mountain Road.
"I didn't want to be so anxious, but your 'ace' put too much pressure on me."
Wang Luo said as he threw the Poké Ball again, and a Rock Monster appeared, completely defeating Miss Qun'er.
"Lika!"
The Flower Rock Monster used his mental power to send a piece of emerald green stone slab into Wang Luo's hands.
"Another piece."
A hint of joy flashed in Wang Luo's eyes, and then he immediately prepared to go to the next place.
"Black Wolf Bird, Flash Flame Charge! Thousand Blade Dragon, Flash Sky Fiery Kick!"
A loud shout came from the woods on the mountain path, followed by two cries that pierced the clouds and split the rocks. A ferocious bird wrapped in red flames and a flying dragon shining with golden light swooped down and repelled Wangluo's Pokémon.
"Tsk! You come so quickly!" Wang Luo frowned immediately.
"Wangluo."
Su Yi jumped off Yueyue Bear, glanced at the emerald green slate in Wang Luo's hand, and then looked at his attire. He hadn't seen this guy for several days, and he actually stopped pretending.
Wang Luo's brows relaxed and he said with a smile: "Hey, long time no see. I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances."
"What are you going to do?" Su Yi asked with a frown. Although he asked this question despite knowing the answer, Wang Luo's thoughts seemed to have changed because of his appearance.
"Of course, it's to see the real Sinnoh Lord."
Wang Luo did not continue to talk in depth, but put away the slate and took out a pink round gem.
