Chapter 728 This boomerang is so fast? (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
Welcome to the large-scale "family-friendly" entertainment project – Where Did Little Nebula Go!
By subduing the brainless Gluttonous King and storing him in the Ultimate Ball, the crisis brought about by Gluttonous King was considered resolved.

But this is only temporary.

After all, as far as Jinghe knew, in Ash's year of the "Manalo Conference", three Guzzlords appeared at once: one jet black and two shiny white ones, all of which were extremely powerful.

One of them even defeated Lucario, Dr. Kukui's main Pokémon, who was then known as the "Royal Mask."

It's important to know that Dr. Kukui, the "Royal Masked Man," possesses undeniable champion-level strength. Even if he's not among the absolute top champions, Dr. Kukui's abilities are quite impressive, honed through his travels to various regions.

That's why it's said that Guzzlord is the most troublesome Ultra Beast besides the legendary ones.

That is, the "Ultra Hole" was not closed at the time, and the combination of Z-Move and Ultra Aura could cause greater damage to Ultra Beasts, which is why it was sent back to the "Ultra Hole".

Otherwise, the first "Manaro Conference" might not have ended well.

That is precisely why the information about the Gluttonous King must be extremely valuable.

However, considering safety, and the fact that the Devourer King is not like the Exploding Muscle Mosquito or the Paper Sword, Jinghe still asked Lila to give up her research on the Devourer King.

The most important thing now is to find the Little Nebula.

"But if that child really has mastered teleportation, yet naively travels around teleporting, how are we supposed to find him?"

Lila clearly understood the importance of the little nebula, after all, it was something that could trigger the opening of the "Ultimate Hole".

However, since they had only had the Little Nebula for a short time and Dr. Barnett hadn't done much research on it, locating the Little Nebula was not an easy task.

“You guys do your thing, I’ll go ask some ‘acquaintances’,” Jing He said.

The island guardians should know where Little Nebula might have gone.

“Okay.” Lila nodded.

"Oh, right." Jinghe suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you have any konpeito? Give me a few jars of konpeito."

Little Nebula is still a baby, and is in a state of constant sleepiness. He is simple-minded and not very interested in most foods, except for konpeito (Japanese candy).

"Konpeito?" Lila was taken aback.

“I do have some here,” Dr. Kukui said. “They’re gifts I usually give to the children.”

“I have some too,” Dr. Barnett said. “The sweet taste is quite nice, and it can replenish sugar.”

"And here I am too."

"Me too."

With everyone talking at once, they actually managed to collect a jar of konpeito from quite a few trainers.

"Genga?"

Gengar collected the candy beans one by one with the jar, and when it looked at the jar full of pretty rainbow-colored little candies, it couldn't resist popping one into its mouth.

I'd like to see what's so delicious about this little thing.

As soon as it was put into its mouth, Gengar's eyes lit up slightly, and it smacked its lips twice.

Don't tell me.

It tastes pretty good, huh?

He popped two more into his mouth.

It tastes better than popcorn!

"Don't finish it, it'll be very useful." Jinghe tapped Gengar's forehead in annoyance.

“Genga.”

Gengar blinked twice.

It doesn't hurt, hey~ it doesn't hurt at all~
Melo Melo Island, a forest teeming with bears.

For a moment, no one knew where Tapu Koko had gone. Tapu Koko, the island's guardian deity, was also absent during the Gluttony King's uprising.

Before I knew it, I had arrived in the Bear Forest.

Thinking that since I was already here, I should first say hello to the bear wearing the shirt.

Let's also check if the trio is still around.

However, before they reached the tree hole where the bear lived, they encountered a sudden situation while passing through a dense bamboo forest.

boom!boom!
A fruit pit traced an arc through the bamboo forest before being smashed by a domineering panda below, which was carrying a bamboo skewer in its mouth.

"Hoo!"

Three domineering pandas with ferocious and menacing faces hid behind them, while several playful pandas watched warily from the treetops of a few large trees at the junction of the bamboo forest and the woodland not far away.

See you soon.

There were about twenty nimble figures there, darting lightly back and forth among the treetops, occasionally sending out a few fruit pits or even tree fruits.

“Genga.”

So luxurious
Gengar couldn't help but speak up as it watched the berries being thrown out.

“They’re a bunch of throwing monkeys,” Jing He said after seeing the figures.

"Rotox, a Fighting-type Pokémon, is a stable, social Pokémon that works very well with its members!"

The Rotom Pokédex appears at the opportune moment, demonstrating its presence.

However, as the Rotom Pokédex states, Throwingmonkey is a social Pokémon with a very strong sense of unity, and in their group there is a "leader" who is responsible for coordinating everything.

Whether it's finding food, distributing food, seizing territory, or fighting off enemies, etc.

And what rivals them is, needless to say, the old dean's "signature" Pokémon, the domineering panda.

Jinghe wasn't particularly interested in the territorial battle between these two groups of Pokémon; she just happened to stumble upon it.

In the Pokémon world, especially in the wild, competition between Pokémon is quite common, particularly for territory.

Even in cities, not in the wild, it's not uncommon for wandering Pokémon to fight each other over territory.

Their own Gengar has become the undisputed "leader" of the stray Pokémon in Rustboro City.

However, Jinghe was also a little curious.

Logically speaking, the tyrannical pandas are active in bamboo forests, while the throwing monkeys' territory must be in forests rich in fruit. How could these two groups have any friction?

It's more common to see Bombardier fighting with Aipom and other Pokémon over territory, right?

"Let's go."

Just as the Throwing Monkeys and the Tyrannical Pandas were about to fight, Jinghe pressed down on Gengar's head, who was always eager to watch the drama unfold, and prepared to leave.

"Lulu~"

At that moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

It was the “Bear God” who came quickly, carrying a teddy bear on his back.

In a swift stride, it appeared between the domineering panda and the throwing monkeys.

Then, expressionless and nonchalant, he caught the iron fist of a domineering panda, as well as the tree fruit thrown by Monkey Head.

"Lulu!"

The appearance of the bear-wearing creature instantly extinguished the fighting spirit and desire of the domineering panda and the throwing monkeys.

Unexpectedly, while dressed as a bear in the forest, I also ended up acting as a "mediator."

"chatter!"

With a wave of his hand, the bullying pandas and the throwing monkeys glared at each other before falling silent and retreating.

The bear, who had ended the dispute early, had obviously noticed Jing He's presence long ago, and appeared in front of Jing He with a swift step.

A huge black shadow completely enveloped it.

The intense sense of oppression caused a bead of cold sweat to appear on Jing He's forehead.

"H-long time no see, wearing a bear."

Arms of steel, a bear hug descended without warning.

"No, no! It's broken, it's really going to break—"

click -

Jing He's face turned pale instantly as she was tightly hugged in the bear's arms.

"Lulu~" The teddy bear seemed very happy and climbed from the bear's back onto Jinghe's head.

"Nimi~"

Bictini revealed itself and greeted it in a friendly manner.

"Lulu~" The teddy bear happily waved to Victini.

The bear finally released Jing He and put him on the ground, patting him on the shoulder with a satisfied look on his face, his eyes seeming to say—

Excellent! As expected of someone I value; there aren't many people in this world who can accept my embrace!

Jinghe took a deep breath and felt as if she had come back to life a little.

He forced a helpless smile.

"What are you doing here? Looking for food?" Jinghe asked after catching her breath.

"Loo~" Bear shook his head, pointed to a small hillside next to him, and led Jinghe and the others toward the hillside.

As they walked, the lively puppet bear explained to Jinghe and the others why the bully panda and the throwing monkeys were fighting.

It's because of the guy hiding on that hillside.

The guy hiding?
quickly.

Jinghe then met the "guy" that the teddy bear had mentioned.

A single "bamboo" sprouted on the hillside.

"bamboo?"

Jing He was taken aback, then seemed to realize something and said with some surprise, "Tenkatsu Kaguya?!"

In the anime, Maman accidentally discovered the ultimate monster, Tetsuka Kaguya, which was buried on this hillside.

That Pokémon was several times larger in size and extremely heavy, and its shape resembled bamboo, or perhaps a rocket launching a Pokémon.

"Lulu~"

Then, the bear-like creature walked over to the "bamboo" and, from who knows where, took out a bucket of water, some tree fruits, food, and other things, and poured it directly onto the "bamboo" next to it.

The nutrients that were poured in were quickly absorbed by the bamboo.

"It really is Tetsuka Kaguya."

Now Jinghe understood why the domineering panda and the throwing monkeys were fighting, and also understood what the puppet bear meant.

So it was this Ironfire Kaguya.

This is an Ultra Beast that accidentally passed through the "Ultimate Cave" and arrived at Melemele Island two hundred years ago.

The place where it takes root and grows will absorb a large amount of nutrients from the nearby soil, causing the surrounding plants to be unable to grow.

The place where this Jade Serpent was rooted was at the boundary between the bamboo forest and the woodland, which prevented both the bamboo and the trees from growing normally.

Ever since.

The domineering panda thought the throwing monkeys had done something wrong, while the throwing monkeys thought it was because the domineering pandas had planted some bad bamboo.

If it weren't for the bear-like creature watering the Ice Flame Echeveria every now and then, providing it with some nutrients, there would probably be even fewer plants growing nearby.

"chatter?"

After watering the Ironfire Kaguya, the bear suddenly turned around and looked seriously at the bamboo forest behind him.

"Genga?"

Gengar seemed to sense something as well, and looked towards the bamboo forest.

Then they saw a guy with cool golden bangs, dressed in a smart black outfit, leading a Pokémon with a giant axe on its head, heading this way.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Jing He raised an eyebrow slightly.

Brother-in-law and attribute: empty?
“Wearing Bear, it’s someone I know,” Jinghe quickly said to Wearing Bear.

To avoid him attacking directly while wearing a bear costume, Gladion's small frame, even with the attribute "Void," would only result in him lying down when facing "Bear God."

"Lul~"

Upon hearing this, the bear nodded expressionlessly, but the invisible threatening aura it exuded diminished considerably.

quickly.

With a hurried expression, Gladion, carrying the attribute "Void," passed through the bamboo forest and arrived near the hillside, where he also met Jing He, who was waiting there, as well as someone dressed as a bear.

"Teacher Jinghe?"

Gladio was visibly taken aback when he saw Jing He, clearly not expecting her to be there.

"Long time no see, Gladio," Jing He said with a gentle smile.

Gladgio, who was known for his aloofness and maturity, seemed somewhat nervous upon seeing Jing He. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then finally spoke:

"H-long time no see, Teacher Jinghe!"

As the new Hoenn Champion who helped his sister, vindicated the Attribute: Void, and paved the way for the "Champion's Path," Gladion has the utmost respect and even reverence for him.

To put it bluntly, Jinghe can be considered Gladion's idol, and like many young trainers, he is the goal that Gladion strives to become.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that Gladio seemed a little nervous, Jinghe found it somewhat amusing.

In the anime, Gladion, Ash's rival in Generation VII, gave Ash a lot of trouble.

Gladion is considered one of Ash's strongest and most competitive rivals throughout the series.

But in the end, he's just a little kid now.

"I," Gladio glanced at the attribute beside me: empty, and my somewhat agitated emotions gradually calmed down.

"It's attribute: empty. Two days ago, it suddenly became very restless, so I took it away from 'Ether Paradise'. After searching around for some reason, attribute: empty brought me here."

"To be honest, I don't really know why the attribute: Empty brought me here."

"Ok?"

Attribute: Empty, brought by Gladion?

At this moment, the gaze of the attribute: Emptiness is fixed on the place where the massive body of the Ironfire Kaguya is buried.

Upon seeing this, Jing He's heart stirred slightly.

Two days ago.
Wasn't that the time Lila mentioned, when the little nebula first appeared at the Sun Wheel Altar?

By the way, in the anime, when Nebula first appeared, Gladion's attribute, Void, did indeed show signs of restlessness.

Although separated by a great distance, the Void attribute could still sense the presence of the small nebula, and now it has come here again, could it be...?
Jing He's heart skipped a beat.

Take out the Poké Ball.

"Banjiras!"

"Banji!!"

Tyranitar, clad in heavy, dark green armor, roared as he appeared on the hillside.

"Dig this up, but be careful not to make any noise and alert the guys down there. Be gentle, or there might be a violent explosion."

Upon hearing this, Bangiras's expression tightened.

A violent explosion?

After glancing at Jing He and confirming that he wasn't joking, Bangiras rubbed his palms together and popped a few more diamonds into his mouth.

"Banji!"

It shouted a couple of times to cheer itself on, and then began to flip its paws rapidly.

The small slope vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Ironfire Kaguya buried beneath it slowly revealed itself.

"This is."

Gladion was taken aback when he saw Kaguya Tekkaku gradually revealing her form.

“Ultimate Beast, UB04: Jetpack, Gekkoya,” Jing He said calmly.

"This is a Pokémon that has been rooted here for two hundred years."

After a brief explanation, Gladion swallowed hard. "Two hundred years? It contains a lot of flammable gas. Will it explode?" "Don't be nervous. Tyranitar is very careful. Besides, Kaguya is a very gentle Ultra Beast. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stayed here for two hundred years," Jing He reassured him with a smile.

Grazio let out a long sigh and nodded.

clang!
Suddenly, a sound of claws striking metal rang out.

倏——倏——倏——

A gentle breeze brushed past my ear.

Gragio slowly turned his head.

I saw it.
Teacher Jinghe, Gengar, and the bear-wearing children's bears had already landed behind a large tree dozens of meters away, their heads lined up from top to bottom.

Gladion: "."

A drop of cold sweat slid down his empty forehead.

To run or not to run?

"Banji."

Bangilas, holding a piece of metal rock in his hand, scratched his head.

I thought it was all dirt, but I actually dug up a rather rare ore here! What a steal!
Put it in your mouth.

He continued digging while chewing.

"Well, actually, it's pretty safe, isn't it?" Jing He and the others, wearing bears, walked back and said casually.

Gladion: "."

I wonder who was running so fast just now.
A minor incident did not affect the excavation of Bangiras.

Before long, Kaguya Tekka had revealed most of her form.

It is extremely large, at least nine meters tall, more than twice the size of Jinghe's Bangiras.

At first glance, it looks a bit like bamboo, except that it is a "bamboo" made entirely of metal, but its legs are clearly jet-shaped structures.

Furthermore, its body is divided into three parts, which, although seemingly unconnected, are actually one.

In the hollowed-out area in the center of Tetsuka Kaguya's enormous body, a small creature, about the size of two palms, resembling a nebula, with a body that transitions from deep purple to light blue, was sleeping with its eyes closed, looking incredibly cute.

"woo"

Upon seeing the little guy, Kong's expression immediately turned serious.

Even the bear wearing the mask, after a brief moment of surprise, became more serious.

"It really is there."

After a brief moment of surprise, Jing He chuckled softly.

This guy is none other than Nebula Cosmog, the protagonist of the epic TV series "Where Did Nebula Go?"
"I never expected this little guy to hide here with Tetsuka Kaguya."

But think about it.

Having been targeted by the Devourer King, Little Nebula would definitely want to find a place of refuge.

exactly.

Although the Jade Serpent was buried, there is no doubt that this Jade Serpent was extremely powerful.

Moreover, burying them makes them easier to hide and more concealed.

the most important is.

This is the "Bear Forest," protected by the "Bear God" dressed as a bear. Even the Gluttonous King can't do anything to the dressed bear.

The little guy may be naive, but he still has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, after all, he was once the legendary Pokémon Solgaleo.

"What?"

Seemingly sensing their gaze, Little Nebula adorably rubbed its eyes twice, let out a long yawn, and then looked towards Jing He and the others.

"What!"

Little Nebula shuddered.

We've been discovered!

He immediately prepared to use teleportation to leave again.

"Little guy." Jinghe called out, opening her palm to reveal a handful of konpeito (Japanese candy).

"Huh?!"

Just as Xiao Xingyun was about to run away, she suddenly appeared in front of Jing He in a flash. Looking at the konpeito in his hand, she couldn't stop drooling.

"Genga~"

Gengar, standing nearby, suddenly realized.

So these candies were meant for this little guy.

"Give."

When a little guy was given a konpeito (Japanese candy), Nebula immediately squinted his eyes happily, became very excited, and smacked his little lips.

"Mmm~mm~!"

Furthermore, upon getting closer to Jing He, the little guy sensed a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar about Jing He, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"So, the attribute 'empty' was looking for this little guy."

Upon seeing the little nebula, Gladion suddenly realized what was going on.

I couldn't help but become curious about this little guy.

What kind of Pokémon could cause such a strong reaction for a Pokémon with the type Null?

Or is this also an ultimate monster?
But it seems far too harmless.

"Suck~ Suck~" Gengar held a few konpeito in its hand, "luring" the little guy over.

It felt that this little guy was very similar to itself, and that they were destined to be together.

Look, they're all round and cute, and they're all purple. They look like they were made from the same mold.

Therefore, Gengar thought that this "little brother" should be recruited.

With the help of the konpeito and the inexplicable sense of familiarity from Jinghe, Nebula abandoned its teleportation escape and immediately floated towards Gengar.

Then it ended up in Gengar's hands.
They were rolled into balls and flattened, and then transformed into various shapes.

"Huh?" Nebula was completely unaware, and just looked at Gengar in confusion.

"Genga~"

But then Gengar shrank its head, black mist emanating from its body, and it transformed into a large "mini Nebula".

"Mwah! Mwah!"

Seeing this, Nebula became excited and clapped.

"Genga?"

Gengar picked up the little guy with a smile.

How about it? Want to learn? I'll teach you!
"What!"

I had just finished calling Lila to tell them that Jinghe had found Little Nebula, and when I turned around I saw...
Their Gengar and Nebula are "transforming" together.

However, Nebula was clearly not as skilled as Gengar, and its transformation was not very convincing.

But Gengar said, "It's okay!"
I have some tools!
It took out a gas bomb sheath, put it on Little Nebula, and then transformed itself into a double-gaugey bomb.

"Gas~"

"Mwah~"

A small Nebula-themed Koffing and a chubby Gengar-themed Koffing both spoke at Jing He in unison.

Jing He: "."

How come it feels like just a turn of my head and this little Nebula has been completely shrouded in Gengar's shadow?
"Lulu~"

The teddy bear also seemed eager to join in, but was held tightly in the bear's arms and given earnest instructions—

Those who associate with ghosts become corrupted, and those who associate with bears become red!
Jing He: "."

"Teacher Jinghe, what is this?" Gladgio asked curiously.

"Little Nebula"

Jinghe briefly explained some basic information about Little Nebula, but of course, she didn't say much about its final evolution, Solgaleo.

"So that's the Pokémon that might be able to open the 'Ultra Hole'!" Gladion exclaimed in realization.

He had heard some information about the Little Nebula from his mother, Lusamine.

"Miss Lila and the others are on their way. The problem with this Ironfire Kaguya will be solved by then."

With the small nebula, we should be able to figure out how to open the "Ultimate Hole" very quickly.

At that time, some Ultra Beasts stranded in the Alola region will be able to return to Ultra Space smoothly.

Gladgio pursed his lips and nodded.

Standing to the side, seemingly struggling for a moment, she finally made up her mind and looked at Jing He earnestly, saying:
"Teacher Jinghe, would you like to have a match with me?"

Battle?

Jing He was taken aback by Gladio's sudden challenge to a battle.

Am I giving people the impression that I "like to play with baby cups"?
Gladion is a true "baby," not even ten years old yet, although he's a bit precocious in personality.
With his strength, even with the addition of the attribute "empty", Jing He felt that even Pirotom could be easily swept aside.

Jinghe patted his head and asked:

"why?"

"Because I want to become your student, Teacher Jinghe!"

Upon hearing this, Jing He was both amused and exasperated.

Who said that becoming my student necessarily means I have to fight him?
This is influenced by some deeply ingrained ideas among Pokémon trainers: no matter what you're going to do, it's always good to have a battle first!
Whether you like each other or not, fighting is never a bad idea.

Just like card players, yo-yo players, top-spinning players, and traffic jam players.

But Jing He wasn't really interested in "bullying" Gladio.

He glanced at Gladion's attribute: Empty, and smiled, "Then you're my student now. Report to the Pokémon School tomorrow."

"Ah, ah?"

Gladgio clearly hadn't expected this.
So simple?
Jing He shrugged slightly. "Don't overcomplicate things, kid."

Seeing that Gladio seemed to dislike the word "kid," Jinghe continued, "I know you have ambitions, but sometimes, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're too old to bear so much."

With their father gone, their mother, Lusamine, single-handedly supported the entire family and the massive Ether Foundation. Although Gladio would complain about Lusamine's neglect of his sister, Lillie, he never complained about Lusamine's neglect of him.

In Gladio's eyes, he was the only boy in the family, and the only man in the future, so of course he had to shoulder the responsibility for his mother and sister.

"But I"

Just as Grazio was about to say something, Jinghe, who had sat down on the grassy hillside, patted the grass beside him, gesturing for him to sit down and speak.

After a brief hesitation, Gladgio sat down next to Jinghe.

"You're putting too much pressure on yourself, and that puts even more pressure on your Pokémon. Have you considered that?"

"Pokémon?"

Gladion was taken aback and looked at the attribute beside him: empty.

Did you assign yourself the attribute: Is there a lot of pressure?
Jing He gently tapped the empty metal helmet, which made a "clanging" sound.

"Was it always like this?"

Although it is a question, the negative meaning in the tone is self-evident.

These words struck a chord deep within Gladio's heart.

Attribute: Others may not know what Kong originally looked like, but he knows very well what Kong looked like after he personally witnessed Kong saving his sister Lillie.

This is not an attribute: the original form of emptiness!

However, after that incident, Zaobo considered it a "failure," put it in shackles, and changed its attribute to: empty.

“I’ve looked through Zaobo’s file, and he didn’t leave any way to unlock the shackles.” Glagio tried to explain, but Jing He stopped him with a smile.

"Do you really think that with its power and your own strength, you can't forcefully break the shackles?"

"Our strength."

"You'll have to think about a lot of things. You need to protect your mother, your sister, and other Pokémon. You need to mature and take responsibility."

Jinghe counted on her fingers.

These ideas are certainly not wrong, and can even be considered excellent, but is it really something a little kid under ten years old should be thinking about?

In comparison, Ash seems much less bright.

In fact, most of Ash's "rivals" are just as intelligent as Gladion, but what was the result?
Children should act like children—be happy, cry, get into trouble, and do good deeds.

Why would the League allow a ten-year-old to catch Pokémon and go on a trip?
Isn't it precisely because children's innocence sometimes better matches the simplicity of Pokémon?

Jinghe continued counting on her fingers.

"So, even someone with the attribute 'emptiness' might wonder, 'Do I really want to break free from these shackles? What if I can't control myself after breaking free and end up hurting you or the people I care about? Am I really a 'failure'?"

"Considering these kinds of considerations, do you think the attribute 'empty' is correct?"

Gladio subconsciously glanced at the attribute: empty.

And the attribute: empty, also subconsciously avoided Gladion's gaze.

This action represents a lot.

Gladgio's expression became complicated.

So it really was me who affected the attribute: empty?
Trainers and Pokémon influence each other, learn from each other, and grow together.

Jing He sighed softly, then turned to look at her chubby little purple-skinned boy.
Gengar is sharing konpeito with Nebula.

"Genga~"

You get one, I get one, I get one, I get one and you get one.
See? I'm incredibly fair, aren't I?

"Mmm~" Little Nebula looked at the small pile of konpeito in front of her and nodded happily.

Jing He: "."

My encounter with Gengar was definitely an "accident"!
Look back.

Gladgio's expression kept changing.

It must be admitted that Gladio was indeed very clever and understood the meaning behind Jinghe's words.

He suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed intently on Jing He, a look that made Jing He feel as if he were some kind of fiery-tempered thug.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Teacher Jinghe, please battle me!" Gladio exclaimed excitedly.

Jing He asked, somewhat taken aback.

Jinghe: "?"

Gladgio clenched his fists. "Although I don't know how to do what you've said, Professor Jinghe, I understand one thing."

"When I challenged you, Teacher Jinghe, before, I thought too much. What if I lost? Would I not be able to become your student? Would I not be able to gain your approval? But now I know that I want to compete with you, so I want to challenge you. Whether I win or lose, what I want is the process, not the result!"

Jing He: "."

It feels like a boomerang spun around and hit me instead.
And it spun around so fast?
"Lululu~"

The bear standing to the side silently gave Jing He a thumbs up.

That's some impressive rhetoric; he got himself into trouble. No wonder he's someone I respect!

Jing He: "."

"Look, Lila and the others are here!"
