Fifty years ago, the city suffered an intense fire caused by the civilians. It led to the loss of many lives, includingHarriet's belovedSnubbull, and provokedZeraora's hostility towards people.Lugia put out the fires withRain Dance and became revered as a guardian of Fula City, but Zeraora's courageous efforts during the fire were never recognized. In an effort to protect Zeraora and the citizens of Fula City, the mayor forbade people from exploring the nearby mountain and fabricated a lie that claimed Zeraora had vanished during the fires.

InThe Power of Us,Margo feared that Zeraora, who she had befriended, was going to be taken byPokémon hunters afterCallahan reported that a rare Pokémon lived up in the mountains. She went on to steal the eternal flame, as well as damage the power supply and tram rails, to disrupt the Wind Festival and protect Zeraora.

Later,Team Rocket stole aEffect Spore solution from the Pokémon Research Pavilion, but later dropped it at the forested outskirts of Fula City. The Effect Spore's glass capsule later cracked, and the released purple gas smothered the entire city and also reacted with an electrical transformer to cause a large forest fire.

The crises ledAsh and his new friends to find their courage and overcome the chaos. Margo and Ash went on to confront Zeraora, whileRisa was given the task of returning the eternal flame to the pedestal to summon Lugia. Meanwhile,Oliver, the current mayor, directed the citizens to evacuate to safety andToren returned to his lab to make a serum. Toren lost hisNatural Cure potion because of a power outage, but Team Rocket'sLum Berry supply proved to be useful. He later joined Callahan andHarriet at the abandoned power plant, and they were able to get the old facility running again, after which they used its wind turbines to spread the Lum Berry solution across Fula City. Risa delivered the eternal flame in time and Lugia was able to put out the raging fires.

During the Wind Festival's closing ceremony, Mayor Oliver declared to his citizens that Zeraora did in fact exist and that the city will now live in peace with it.
