After seeing Sato's bewildered expression, Cynthia thoughtfully explained.
"Namewood Power Plant uses coal to generate electricity. Since it isn't environmentally friendly, its output is strictly controlled and decreases year by year.
Look carefully at the row of Fire-type Pokemon below. Look at what they're holding!"
