Just as the Ancestral Bird in the Feather Habitat was crying, somewhere far away, there was also a young man who shed tears of grief for the sight he saw.

But in front of him were the ruins of a power plant that had been burned out by fire.

It had rained heavily, but the air was still filled with the pungent smell of burning. There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, the broken walls were blackened, and the thick chimneys that used to swallow clouds and mist had broken in two.

The power plant, which supplies electricity to the entire city, has been completely paralyzed. Gone are the days when workers and electric Pokémon worked together, and wild Pokémon consciously avoided the ruins, and there was a dead silence all around.

The fog floats in the darkness, like purgatory.

The young man wiped away his tears with his white sleeves, stepped on the scorched earth, and walked into the center of the ruins, the power plant building obscured by fallen steel bars.

Passing through the twisted frame of the iron door, a large pit appeared before his eyes.

The crater resembles the marks left by a meteorite, with a bowl-shaped edge, a diameter of about ten meters, and a depth of half a meter.

This is clearly the mark left by the explosion...... The young man meditates in his heart.

At this moment, a small gray-brown bird flew in through the crack in the steel bar, which was the beanie pigeon that could be seen everywhere in the United Nations.

The Pokémon landed on the green-haired youth's shoulder and cried a few times.

"Is that so...... The bodies of the Pokémon were taken away by the police......"

The man seemed to understand the call of the beanie pigeon and nodded. But his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, as if to restrain his great anger.

"Seventy-one elves died in the explosion of the entire power plant, while more than 500 human employees in the plant were safely evacuated, with a mortality rate of 100% and 0% respectively. One and zero, as stark as black and white, even the dullest person can see the anomaly in them, they are murdered! Even if it's not murder, there's a huge amount of malice behind it, but the whole city is indifferent! ”

The green-haired young man held his head and muttered to himself bitterly—

"I left the plasma group and embarked on a journey, always trying to find a way to bring happiness to all living beings in this world. But as far as the eye can see, the world is full of oppression, bullying, such illogical and unreasonable criminal massacres, people who are indifferent to tragedy are full of pits, and countless Pokémon have lost their lives due to ignorance and barbarism...... Selfishness, tyranny, indifference, shamelessness, is this the nature engraved in human genes? ”

The man felt that the world in front of him was collapsing and shaking, anger and reluctance were eroding reason and logic, and he was about to try to occupy his genius mind, and some extreme words that had been left in his mind for some time began to gradually surface his consciousness......

"Hey! N！ The police patrolling the neighborhood are here, so let's end the investigation quickly. ”

A clear female voice came, causing the green-haired youth's expression to be distorted by pain to gradually soften. Then the footsteps gradually approached, and a tall ponytail girl wearing a peaked cap also entered the factory in the ruins.

It seems that the two men are companions who are exploring the ruins of the power plant together, with the youth in charge of investigating the inside and the girl looking out to watch the wind.

"It smells terrible...... Oh my God, what's this big hole? Was there an explosion here? ”

The girl with a high ponytail covered her mouth and nose and pointed at the big pit in front of the young man with a surprised expression.

"Not long ago, there were mountains of Pokémon corpses here, but they have been removed by the police. The Pokémon in the entire power plant are dead here, and the smell you smell is about ......"

The green-haired young man who became N stopped halfway through his words, with a look of disgust and sadness on his face.

"The beanie pigeon on your shoulder told you that, right? What, it turned out to be the corpses of the elves, I thought it was...... Yes! ”

The smug girl didn't react at first, but when she realized the origin of the smell in the air, she choked and clenched her hand tighter.

"So N, what are you going to do? Want to find out the truth behind the bombing? ”

The girl with a high ponytail was still covering her mouth and nose, but her bright dark blue eyes looked around restlessly, and asked the green-haired young man angrily through the sound of an urn in her palm.

"This behavior must not be tolerated." The young man's expression was more serious than ever.

"There were obvious traces of human interference behind this explosion, but it is now being treated as an accident, and someone must have managed to get away with it! Douzi, please help me find the murderer with seventy-one Pokémon blood on his hands! ”

"I have a better idea." The girl's eyes rolled, revealing an unfathomable expression, "I know a very reliable detective, you may be able to consult him." ”

。

In the 122nd year of the Union calendar, on November 4, a major explosion occurred at the power plant in Lichong City, United States.

At noon, a violent explosion occurred in the area of the plant building of the power plant. Explosions, detonations, and ensuing fires destroyed the entire power plant within two hours, causing irreparable damage. Residents throughout the city heard the roar of the explosion, which affected the city's power supply system, and some neighborhoods have not been able to restore power to this day.

Fortunately, before the explosion, William, the director of the power plant, noticed the abnormality in the factory and immediately organized the evacuation of all employees in the factory. As a result, no one was injured or killed in this bombing.

At present, the police are seriously investigating the explosion, and according to the testimony of employees, it is tentatively determined that the cause of this incident is an accident, which seems to be a sudden explosion caused by improper operation of the electric Pokémon in the factory.

In the follow-up investigation by the police, the director of the factory, William, who had saved all the employees, behaved extremely suspiciously, refusing to cooperate with the police investigation and not being willing to provide testimony before and after the incident, so some people in the Lichong City Police Department became suspicious of him. Today, William is under constant police surveillance, but does not show any unusual ......

。

"Hugo, are you really going to meet the leader of the plasma group??"

On the deck of the ship leading to the city of Lichong, Blue leaned on a white sunhat to protect herself from the sea breeze, and asked the white-coat detective worriedly.

"Aren't they an evil organization that is deliberately plotting to overthrow the rule of the United Alliance? We had a fight with their people at the Shippo Museum before, so wouldn't it be good to come forward directly? ”

"It's better to see than to hear." Detective Hugo said with a shrug.

"From what I've gathered, it seems that this green-haired leader named N is doing his business with his Order, at least not directly involved in the Plasma Order's criminal activities in various places. He may be a good person, as Douzi said. And if I get in touch with it in advance, I also have a chance to grasp the real situation inside the plasma group, I'm tired of being troubled by this pile of evil organizations every now and then, it's time to take the initiative. ”
