Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

...There is something that can confirm this right before our eyes. How will Lowe react to the conclusion of this major event in the entire Hoenn region?

Lilia, I hope I can see the last second with my own eyes...

Just like that, he had visited almost all the places he needed to visit. Luo Wei was in a hurry and didn't want to stop for even a second. He went straight through the Chenghua Forest and headed towards Mobai Town.

When they returned to the Orange Forest, Lowe and Liliae expressed some emotion.

It was here that they first met, and now it seems that quite a while has passed.

However, the two did not stay for long. After all, the person was right in front of them, and there was no need to miss him. After joking with each other for a few words, they immediately walked through the forest together.

After leaving the Chenghua Forest, Mobai Town was naturally within sight. In fact, Chenghua City was closer, but Lowe still chose to go home first to report his safety to his mother, and then go to challenge his father's gym.

Therefore, Lowe was just passing by Chenghua City, but when he passed by Chenghua City, it seemed that Chenghua City was inexplicably lively.

"what's the situation?"

In Lowe's memory, Chenghua City was a very leisurely and quiet small city. It was because of this that Lowe's father chose to be the gym leader here.

However, even so, considering that there are definitely some activities occasionally, it’s not surprising to have some fun.

In short, Lowe didn't think much about it, and passed Chenghua City with Liliae. After two more turns at the intersection, finally, that extremely quiet and beautiful town appeared in front of Lowe and Liliae.

"Ahahaha, I'm back~"

Lowe opened his hands and took a deep breath. Although he went out to travel right after moving here, he actually didn't live in Mobai Town for long. But after all, it is his hometown now. This town is very similar to his original hometown, so Lowe naturally integrated into this place.

Breathing the familiar air, Lowe quickly walked towards his home.

"I'm back~"

Chapter 186 "Mother", the strongest creature on earth~

"I'm back~"

The moment Lowe knocked on the door, he was immediately hugged.

"Welcome back~"

Liliae, who was behind him, had no time to react before she saw a figure rushing out of the room like a whirlwind. The figure instantly hugged Lowe tightly as soon as they met, and the Fairy Eevee, who was lying on Lowe's head, was so frightened that it quickly jumped aside.

Even Masked Cat and Gardevoir, who were following closely, were shocked by the other party's powerful aura at that moment. They watched helplessly as Lowe was held in the other party's arms and rubbed up and down.

"Well, have you lost weight and become tanned? Was the journey very hard? Did you eat well?"

In front of her was a young woman who seemed to be in her early twenties. Although Liliae realized that the other person's age was not much different from her mother, she actually looked a little younger than her mother.

Judging from President Lusamine's appearance, you can't tell at all that she is already a mother of two children. After all, she is one of the richest people in the entire Pokémon world, so at least she has taken good care of herself.

But the woman in front of me can actually look younger than President Lusamine on this basis. This can only be understood as a natural good foundation.

After all, this is determined by people's genes, which is the so-called "talent". Some people can eat as much as they want without losing their figure, while some people can gain weight even by drinking water. There is no way to compare them.

At this moment, Lowe was extremely "well-behaved" like a large-sized figurine, allowing the woman in front of him to look him up and down, and he didn't dare to say a word.

After all, this may be a blood suppression from the genetic level. No matter how powerful a boss is, he will instantly lose all his momentum in front of the other party, the strongest creature on earth called "Mother"!

This woman is naturally Lowe's biological mother, and one of Lowe's closest relatives in this world...

"Well, it seems that you have eaten well and exercised. I feel relieved now~"

After carefully checking Lowe from head to toe, the other party nodded with satisfaction, confirming that her most precious "treasure" had indeed returned to her without any damage.

At that moment, her eyes shifted from Lowe to the big cat beside her...

"Welcome back, Xinye... um, now I'm Kamen-nyan~"

As she said this, she stretched out her hand. Big Cat didn't move at all, and let the other person's palm gently press on her head and then rub it softly.

Liliae had never seen Masked Meow allow anyone other than Lowe to touch her body, and the woman in front of her might be the only exception at the moment...

After all, Lowe is just a big figurine in front of the opponent, so how could Masked Cat possibly escape?

Okay, this is a joke. To put it bluntly, this is just the care from the "family". As Rottwei's original partner, New Leaf Cat has never been positioned as a pet in Rottwei's family, but a relative who grew up with Rottwei and is also a member of the entire family.

In a sense, he could also be considered the child of the woman in front of him, because Masked Cat naturally had no resistance.

"And then, there are some great new partners~"

Over there, Gardevoir lifted her skirt with both hands and bowed slightly. Even from Liliae's perspective, there was nothing wrong with her action. Instantly, telepathy was transmitted in the form of telekinesis, and a clear female voice rang in Lowe's mother's mind.

"Oh, what a polite and good kid~"

I don’t know what Gardevoir said to Lowe’s mother, but it seemed that Lowe’s mother was very pleased. As for Sylveon, after being startled at first, it calmly jumped onto Lowe’s shoulder.

Without Lowe's mother taking the initiative, she had already moved the ribbon to hold the other person's hand, and then rubbed the other person's palm for a while.

All we can say is that she seems to know that she is cute, so she knows how to use her own advantages to gain favor as quickly as possible, and in Lowe's words.

Is there anyone who can resist a Fairy Eevee's active hug? No way, absolutely impossible!

A familiar family member who grew up together, childhood sweethearts, a modest, polite, and elegant elder sister who can read minds, a loli who is extremely skilled in acting cute and coquettish...

...This combination of attributes can only be described as too classic, and it made Lowe's mother sigh at the same time as she was happy.

Oh no, it seems my son is on the road of controlling Pokémon and there’s no turning back.

Then, Lowe's mother reached out her hand in the direction of Liliae, "Welcome, welcome, my good-for-nothing son. Thank you for your company on the way. Come, you're welcome. Just treat this place as your home~"

Because Lowe had already had several video calls with his mother before returning, Lowe's mother naturally already knew Liliae, his current travel companion.

Liliae had seen Lowe's mother before, but after seeing her in person, she felt that she was much younger and more beautiful than she had seen through the screen.

Lowe's mother was very kind to Liliae, which naturally made Liliae feel quite embarrassed.

"No, no, no, it's Lowe who has always taken good care of me. I'm sorry, I've caused Lowe a lot of trouble along the way..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. This kid is very capable anyway. Just think of it as more exercise~"

As soon as these words came out, Lowe was left in a state of confusion.

"Hey, hey, you really don't take your son seriously, do you? I've had a hard time, too~"

This was of course just a joke. If he really felt it was too hard, Lowe would not have invited Liliae to go with him in the first place. Lowe's mother once again answered with a smile.

"Of course, because Lowe is my proudest son and the second most beloved man in the world, so of course he is so great~"

"..."

Well, don't try to challenge the image of her son in the eyes of a mother, especially since at the moment, she is still a typical mother who is obsessed with her son.

Fortunately, Lowe is really good, and he is still quite good even without the filter, so these words don't seem too unreasonable.

"Okay, stop standing outside and come in and sit down~"

Lowe's mother let them into the room, and Lowe and his Pokémon walked in confidently, while Liliae paused at the door.

Being invited to someone's home was certainly not a strange thing. Liliae often attended various social occasions with her mother, and was occasionally invited to attend some private dinners and visit the private homes of those seemingly powerful people.

But after all, it was all in the name of President Lusamine, and Liliae recalled that it seemed to be the first time that she was invited by her companions to visit in her own name...

"Well, um... sorry to bother you~"

After taking a deep breath, the girl took a step forward...

Chapter 187: Mother's love is like the sea, it can't drown you~

Although it was not the first time that Liliae was invited, it was the first time that she was invited to a friend's home on her own behalf.

In the past, she was only invited to various social events in the name of her mother, and occasionally she was invited to a private residence for a private dinner with only a few people attending.

Although it was a private dinner, to put it bluntly, it was still an event held for various business purposes, not an event for friends to have a heart-to-heart talk. The biggest purpose of Liliae being invited there was just to make herself familiar to people who might be able to help in the future.

Although in terms of personal etiquette and upbringing, Liliae will never embarrass her mother in any situation, and can be called the "other people's child".

But one can easily imagine how relaxing the elegance and courtesy of this kind of occasion actually is.

Therefore, being invited as a friend was indeed a new and novel experience that I had never had before, even though the place in front of me was just an ordinary small flat.

In the world before Lowe crossed over, this might be a bit of a luxury for an ordinary family, but in the world of Pokémon where productivity is exploding, this level is indeed "commoner level"...

Of course, it was incomparable to Lillie's own home and the private residences of the big guys she had visited in the past. Although in fact, if she wanted, it was not impossible for a gym leader to get such a mansion, it was just that there was no need for it.

According to Lowe's mother, there are only a few people in the family, so why build such a big house? It will be empty and will not be lively at all. It is more cozy to have a small house like this one that can accommodate the whole family.

Lowe agreed with this point very much. After all, in his previous life, he lived in a pigeon-cage-like rental house of less than 20 square meters for several years. He then spent all his savings from ten years of work to pay the down payment, and then took out a mortgage for another 20 years to buy the house. He didn't even have time to finish decorating it before he died of overwork.

With this premise in mind, this small flat is now the life he has always dreamed of, so naturally he has no dissatisfaction with it.

"Sorry, sorry, I don't have anything special to serve to guests at home. I only have some simple tea and some snacks made by my mother. Please~"

Just as Lowe said, there was really no special treat. The tea was neither good nor bad, just barely tasted good. Lowe's mother's cooking skills were good, and the handmade snacks were delicious, but of course, in front of Liliae, who could taste the skills of top chefs anytime and anywhere, it was still just ordinary.

However, she did not feel it was shabby. After all, attitude and emotion could be clearly felt, and these were things that could never be measured by money.

"thanks for treatment!"

She thanked him sincerely, which made Lowe's mother feel a little embarrassed.

"Haha, you're really a good and serious kid, but you don't have to be so serious and polite, it's okay if you relax a little~"

As she spoke, she smiled and blinked. Lowe couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "I know you look young, and you can't tell at all that you are in your late thirties or early forties from your appearance, but it's okay for you to deceive outsiders, but your son is right in front of you, isn't it inappropriate for you to act cute?"

Of course, Luo Wei can only keep these words in his heart. If he dares to speak them out, he will have to experience what motherly love is like the sea.

...I can't drown you~

"By the way..." Lowe picked up a biscuit and fed it to the Sylveon lying on his shoulder. Catman came over immediately when he saw this. Lowe, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, picked up another biscuit, took a bite, and stuffed the rest directly into her mouth.

He easily sank the big cat with one blow, and let her lie on his legs and be stroked by Lowe's fur. It can only be said that after all this time of training, Lowe has gained considerable experience in how to balance his own Pokémon.

After calming down the big cat, Lowe continued the previous topic, "When I came back just now, I saw that Chenghua City seemed to be quite lively. Mom, do you know what happened?"

"Well, this~" Speaking of this, she seemed to be interested, and immediately picked up the remote control and turned on the TV with a smile, "It should be about time now, ah, it really is~"

The channel was switched to a local TV station, and the content displayed on the screen stunned Lowe.

"Hey, the popular idol, Rukia's Hoenn region tour performance, now... in Orange City?"

"Yes, although Chenghua City is not a big place, it does have a gym after all, so it is also one of the places where this little Lucia performs on tour. This week is the time for her performance there, so it is normal that there are many people~"
