"It's time to teach these uncooperative people a lesson."
Bai Luo turned his gaze to the peach-like ornament placed in the grocery store, already covered in dust.
"Boné?"
Seeing this thing, Okidogi tilted its head.
She found this peach doll somewhat familiar.
Especially that strange smell, there was always a sense of déjà vu.
Unfortunately, too much time had passed, and Okidogi couldn't remember where she had seen this thing.
"This is the mastermind behind the theft of the masks, Pecharunt."
Pecharunt, able to create a Mythical Pokémon with poison that possesses the power to bewitch people's hearts.
"Boné?!?!"
Hearing the name Pecharunt, Okidogi seemed to remember something, and the entire Pokémon instantly erupted with intense killing intent.
Clearly, Okidogi couldn't wait to get rid of the bad guy who hurt her family.
"Don't do anything yet."
Seeing that Okidogi was about to act, Bai Luo quickly stopped her.
Without a doubt, if it weren't for Bai Luo's words, Okidogi would definitely have pulled out her thorny vine stick and smashed Pecharunt to pieces.
"This guy, I still have a use for him."
"Boné?"
"Don't worry, it will get the punishment it deserves."
Bai Luo had read the story of the DLC epilogue, which not only redeemed the Loyal Three but even turned Pecharunt into an innocent victim.
In this story, Pecharunt is a Mythical Pokémon raised by an elderly couple.
It gave them sticky mochi containing its own poison.
Although Pecharunt had no malicious intent, it was just sharing the delicacies it made with its abilities.
But after eating too much sticky mochi, the old couple's desires expanded infinitely due to the influence of Pecharunt's Mythical poison, and they became greedy.
One day, the old couple somehow learned about Okidogi's four masks.
So they ordered Pecharunt to bring the masks to them.
Pecharunt longed to be loved by the old couple who raised it, so it subdued the three Loyal Three and used the chain-like sticky mochi it created to dominate and strengthen them.
And so, Pecharunt led the Loyal Three, trekking across mountains and rivers, to Kitakami.
The story that followed corresponded to the plot with Okidogi.
Pecharunt took the three underlings, snatched the masks, and was challenged one-on-four by the angry Okidogi, achieving the quadra-ki11 achievement (quad kill).
Theoretically, the culprit of all this was just the poison on Pecharunt.
It itself may not have any concept of good and evil.
As for the Loyal Three, they may have originally been pure Pokémon.
But because of Pecharunt's poison, the dark side of their hearts was magnified, and they became irritable, cunning, and hypocritical.
But!
Bai Luo did not agree with this statement and could not accept such a setting.
Is everyone innocent?
What a joke!
It is true that Pokémon are innocent and kind.
But even Pokémon, once they make a mistake, must be punished.
If Pecharunt and the Loyal Three can be forgiven.
Then what about Okidogi 483?
You need to know that Okidogi is the most innocent, she is the victim.
Just because the perpetrator has a reason for turning bad, should we sympathize with them and then find reasons to acquit them?
Bai Luo is not a saint of universal love.
He is now just a selfish trainer who wants to avenge his cute little cotton-padded jacket!
"Boné?"
After listening to Pecharunt's story, Okidogi calmed down.
However, as Bai Luo expected, Okidogi still wanted to kill Pecharunt and make it pay the price.
You, Pecharunt, are a Pokémon, and I, Okidogi, am also a Pokémon.
Human laws and morals cannot be imposed on Pokémon.
Then there should be no problem with me, Okidogi, taking action, right?
Okidogi: I just want to beat those three beasts to death, and Pecharunt, this dog thing!
"There will be a chance."
A large hand fell, and Okidogi felt Bai Luo's caress.
She decided to listen to the trainer.
Okidogi believed that Bai Luo would definitely help her vent this anger!
"Want to hear my plan?"
Bai Luo told Okidogi his thoughts: "I plan to first unlock Pecharunt's seal and wake it up from its slumber."
"Doesn't Kitakami worship the Loyal Three and think they are heroes?"
"Then let the people here take a good look at the true face of the so-called Loyal Three."
Pecharunt's nature is very similar to that of the Nightmare Pokémon Darkrai.
The latter comes with the Nightmare attribute and will cause the surrounding people to fall into painful dreams.
However, Darkrai's behavior is not malicious.
It does this only to drive humans and Pokémon out of its territory.
Bai Luo couldn't say for sure whether Pecharunt was born a bad seed.
The only thing he could be sure of was that the poison Pecharunt carried from birth would cause people to hallucinate, go crazy, and magnify the greed in their hearts.
And this also destined Pecharunt to go to extremes and become an evil Pokémon..

"Boné?"
Okidogi was still a kind Pokémon after all, she was grateful to Bai Luo for venting her anger, but she was worried that it would cause trouble for Bai Luo.
And the residents of Kitakami.
They are no longer the same group as those who expelled and bullied her.
Okidogi would not hold a grudge against people just because they were descendants of former villagers or lived in Kitakami.
"Pokémon ah..."
Seeing Okidogi's embarrassed appearance, Bai Luo sighed in his heart that the creature called Pokémon was really too kind.
They really easily forgive humans.
Even if humans destroy their homes.
Even if humans capture, expel, abuse, and abandon them, as long as the other party recognizes their mistake, Pokémon are still willing to forgive them.
Even the legendary divine beasts who hate humans will change their minds with human sacrifice.
It's really like humans abusing me a thousand times, and I treat humans like my first love.
"Don't worry, it's just punishment, there will be no casualties."
Bai Luo wouldn't let the residents of Kitakami pay the price of death and injury.
As the saying goes, a small punishment serves as a great warning.
Let Pecharunt lead the Loyal Three to wreak havoc in Kitakami.
One is to relieve Okidogi's anger, and the other is to give Okidogi the opportunity to avenge herself.
"When the punishment is almost over,", Bai Luo: "Okidogi, you will take action and defeat them!"
In this way, Okidogi will be able to prove herself, no longer be splashed with dirty water by the people of Kitakami, or even eat human blood buns.
Of course, how to do this specifically must be discussed with Cynthia.
Cynthia is the Sinnoh Champion.
If she can endorse Okidogi in the official capacity of the League, she can completely eradicate the stigmatization of Oni in Kitakami.
"If you want to do it, do the whole set."
"Isn't his Kitakami a remote area, doesn't it need development?"
Bai Luo felt that this place in Kitakami really needed the League to send people over to rectify it: "Then let professional people govern it."
Most of the people in this place are innocent.
They were just deceived and became accomplices.
The real problem is the power holders like the bald-headed manager.
"Boné."
Okidogi was very happy after listening to Bai Luo's plan.
In this way, Okidogi can avenge herself, give the residents of Kitakami enough lessons, and also allow this place to find new directions for development, killing three birds with one stone.
As for the Loyal Three and Pecharunt...
Pecharunt's existence itself will affect the surrounding people.
The old couple who adopted it were originally pure and kind people, but because of contact with Pecharunt, they became greedy and selfish.
As the saying goes, the environment changes a person.
But when it comes to Pecharunt, it has become that it can shape the environment, and approaching it will be harmed by poison.
Bai Luo has no intention of helping the Loyal Three to remove the poison.
Nor will he take action to change Pecharunt's attributes.
They don't deserve it!
So...
Let them continue to be sealed in a corner, and let Cynthia and the Sinnoh League watch over them.
"Ah, that's indeed a very good way to handle it."
"Hmm?"
Bai Luo, who was originally talking with Okidogi, was interrupted by this ethereal and transcendent voice.
He was not surprised, but curiously looked around.
I saw that the originally vibrant jungle and lively streets seemed to have been put on pause at this moment.
Pedestrians, animals, flowing water.
Everything, everything, stopped at this moment.
"Interesting."
Bai Luo calmly looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Gradually, white mist enveloped the entire world.
