Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Liliae said a little embarrassedly, "I don't know this child's name either, so now I call it Little Nebula. It's my friend~"

When the word "friend" was spoken, Little Nebula immediately nodded in agreement. It seemed that it understood what Liliae said.

"But, Mom and the others seem to want to use the little nebula for some experiment. It seems that the source of the experiment that caused the Ultimate Hole was the little nebula..."

"!"

The experiment that caused the Ultimate Hole originated from this little guy?

To be honest, it sounds a little unbelievable, but Daigo believes that Liliae is not lying.

After all, in the world of Pokémon, strength cannot be judged by size. Although this little guy has not put any pressure on Daigo at the moment, it feels like he is just a worthless loser with no fighting power.

“That’s all I know…” Liliae paused and looked at Daigo, as if waiting for his response…

Chapter 116: Really good at judging people!

"I understand the situation..." Daigo pondered for a few minutes, then stood up and nodded decisively, "I believe what Miss Liliae said, and it doesn't seem like she's lying, but if that's the case, then things will be very troublesome."

"...With the clues we have now, is there no way to attack the Aether Foundation?"

Lowe patted Liliae's shoulder, motioning her to sit down again, then looked at Daigo and asked...

"Indeed..." Daigo took over Lowe's words, "...In fact, the clues are enough, but the opponent is the Aether Foundation, which is very troublesome..."

Luo Wei understood what Daigo meant, "So, you mean, we need more evidence?"

“…There must be solid evidence that can directly prove that the Ether Foundation is the mastermind behind this. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for the Alliance to come forward. However, since this matter has a direction, we just need to investigate in this direction. Professional matters… should be left to professionals.”

“…Interpol?”

Lowe knew that there were law enforcement agencies in this world view. Even in the Pokémon world, there must be police officers. For example, all of Miss Junsha's family were police officers, and above them, there were international detectives who specialized in handling various major cases.

"Well, I will find someone to arrange this. Thank you Miss Liliae for the clues and information, and..."

Daigo looked at the little Nebula in Liliae's bag, and Liliae's expression instantly became nervous.

Because Liliae also said that the small nebula is the key to opening the Ultimate Hole, and the Aether Foundation obtained the method to open the Ultimate Hole by studying the small nebula.

So, will the Alliance ask to take Little Nebula away?

Although if the Alliance really asked for it, Liliae would definitely not refuse, she believed that the Alliance could protect Little Nebula better than she could.

She had already realized this, so she chose to tell everything.

However, Daigo gave her a choice...

"... Liliae, do you plan to ask for the Alliance's protection, or do you plan to continue to act freely?"

When saying this, Daigo also glanced at Lowe, and his attitude couldn't be more obvious.

Rather than saying "acting freely on her own", it would be better to say "acting together with Lowe". As for asking for the protection of the League, that would naturally mean following Daigo directly, and then going to the League to let special elite trainers serve as her guards.

Liliae was not surprised by this situation. She was surprised that this gave her a choice.

“…But, can I choose?”

"Of course..." Daigo smiled immediately, "...We are not facing an unforgivable criminal, but just a little princess who needs protection. We naturally have no right to forcibly interfere with your personal freedom. If Her Highness the Princess has found her own knight, then there is really no need for others to intervene~"

He said this jokingly, causing Liliae's face to turn red. Lowe's mouth twitched in embarrassment because he could already sense the resentment of Masked Cat behind him.

"I want to... continue as before..." In other words, she planned to continue following Lowe, "... maybe I can find more 'things I can do'"

Anyway, she had already told the alliance everything she needed to know, and for a moment she felt a lot more relaxed. She had been keeping the secret in her heart for a long time, and it really took a lot of effort on her.

Now that she has fulfilled one wish, she now hopes to resolve another knot in her heart.

That is to "find something you can do"...

Before that, she discovered her mother's secret and had a strong feeling in her heart that "something must be done". When she came to her senses, she had already set out on the road to Hoenn alone.

In fact, going to Hoenn was just an accident. She didn't have a specific destination in mind at the beginning. She just found a regular ship and jumped on it, and went wherever she wanted.

At the time, she had no direction in her mind, but she felt a sense of mission that she must do something to stop her mother's wrong behavior, which made her take action. However, when she thought about it in retrospect, she realized how reckless her behavior was.

Now, she hopes to make a good plan, at least to determine "what she can do". Although she has not found the answer yet, she has a hunch that if she follows Lowe's words, she might be able to find the answer.

As for why she followed Lowe, she couldn't explain it. It might be because she had always relied on her mother and brother in the past. This was the first time she left her hometown and the first person she met was kind to her and actually helped her several times.

Her mother can no longer be relied upon, her brother's current situation is also very delicate, and her own abilities are really limited. It just so happens that... Lowe has become a real role model in front of her.

Although he looks about the same age as her, he can accomplish so many amazing things. She admires and envies Lowe very much, so she made this decision.

Lowe didn't mind Liliae coming along. There were two purposes for traveling: one was to challenge himself and grow, and the other was to meet all kinds of people.

Every encounter between humans and humans, and between humans and Pokémon, is to establish new connections, and these connections will one day become a driving force for progress.

Although Masked Cat seemed to be quite dissatisfied with this, Lowe could only scratch her chin to comfort her.

"Don't worry, my princess~ Your knight will not betray you~"

"Haha, that's right, you have to maintain a good relationship~"

Daigo also gently stroked his chin when he saw this, and spoke with interest. Lowe always felt that he was obviously doing it on purpose, whether it was calling Liliae a princess just now or saying these words now...

...Could it be that this kid is actually a sinister person?

Of course, there is another possibility, which is that it is just a simple outbreak of gossip. After all, gossip is probably the fourth instinct of human beings besides survival, eating and reproduction.

"In this case, we now have some clues to proceed, and then..."

Daigo sighed again, and Lowe knew what he was sighing about, because apart from the Aether Foundation, there were other more pressing troubles in the Hoenn region.

After the Lava Team and the Ocean Team attacked Director Kusnogi last time, these people had a few days of peace, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was most likely just the calm before the storm.

This group of people are most likely planning some big conspiracy, and the next time they take action, it will definitely be a bigger commotion.

How will the actions be taken and where will they be taken?

All these are quite a headache, and what is even more headache is that until now, we still don’t know who the boss on the opposite side is.

"Anyway, if Lowe finds anything later, I hope you can inform me as soon as possible... I always feel that if it were you, you might accidentally provoke these people easily~"

"..."

Damn, you’re so good at judging people!

Chapter 117 We are well-trained

"Perhaps, Lowe is unexpectedly prone to getting into trouble."

"..."

Daigo's casual words made Lowe stand in awe...

Damn, you’re so good at judging people!

Could it be that he discovered the protagonist's aura in me? !

Okay, this is just a joke. Maybe it's just some kind of intuition. After all, there are too many weird things in this world. Daigo can become the champion. His talent and qualifications are beyond doubt. Maybe he has some special talents.

Although he himself may not be clear about it, his strong intuition can help him make more accurate judgments.

"Well, I should leave too. If I stay here too long, people will get suspicious... Oh, by the way..."

As Daigo stood up, he looked at Lowe and continued, "The performance at the previous glamour contest was very impressive. My best friend asked me to pass on a message for him. If you are interested, he would be happy to exchange his experience of the glamour contest with Lowe..."

"…Who is your best friend?"

"That guy's name is Mikoli. Let's just say he calls himself an artist..."

Just as Daigo said, Mikoli's main job is an "artist (self-proclaimed)". Of course, he does have excellent attainments in art, especially in gorgeous competitions.

At the same time, he taught a very outstanding disciple, who is currently an active idol in the gorgeous competition... Yes, Rukia is Mikoli's disciple.

By the way, the two seem to be related. Of course, this doesn’t matter, because Lucia’s strength is enough to prove that she has gained her current popularity through her real ability, not through relatives…

As for Mikoli, besides his main job, he also has a side job...

...the leader of the Liuli City Gym. At the same time, based on strength alone, he is a strong candidate to compete with Lowe's father Qianli for the title of "Strongest Gym Leader".

After all, in the original game, after Daigo skipped work... this guy directly took his place and became the champion, which shows that his strength is actually comparable to the champion. Just like Lowe's father, being a gym leader is purely out of personal interest.

All in all, he is a handsome man with a good sense of humor and is very popular... and he is a close friend of Daigo.

"Oh wow, Lowe is really popular~"

Mr. Tiexuan laughed and gave his conclusion, while Luo Wei coughed awkwardly, "Ah, it's all thanks to everyone for their kindness..."

All in all, let's put this Versailles topic aside for now, and the secret talks here have come to an end. Daigo is still busy with work, and he has to immediately arrange to contact international agents and find suitable candidates to investigate the Ether Foundation.

In fact, there have been special agents responsible for investigating the Ultimate Beasts, but there have been no more clues before, so they could only follow the Ultimate Beasts.

Now, we finally have some new clues, and naturally there is a more systematic direction for investigation. I believe they are also very interested in Daigo's information.

As for Lowe, it’s time to continue his journey…

...During the days of studying with Tiexuan, Lowe mainly asked about the "attribute venue". In fact, Tiexuan himself got a lot of inspiration from Lowe.

After the two of them confirmed each other, they both gained a lot.

So, as he was about to say goodbye, the old man was still a little reluctant.

"I didn't expect that at my age, I could still learn new things from young people. Haha, it really is true that 'you never stop learning'~ Well, have a safe journey, Lowe... and Lilia, oh, I have to call you Alice to others~"

Although she had already explained everything to the Alliance, she still had to continue to disguise her identity to avoid being exposed and alerting the enemy. So Liliae was still in disguise and still acted under a pseudonym.

"...Okay, as I said before," Old Man Tiexuan waved his hand generously, "After the renovation of the underground area is completed, I will definitely invite you to be the first to visit."

In fact, the specific transformation plan has been planned and completed, and even the relevant transformation resources have been almost allocated. They were just about to start, but they never expected to encounter the ultimate beast.

Fortunately, things have been settled smoothly now, and Mr. Tiexuan can now get down to business.

Lowe naturally agreed without hesitation. After both parties reached an agreement, they set off to their new destination.

Zijin City is a very interesting city. It was originally the Big Zijin Energy Development Company. It expanded wildly for a while, was then urgently stopped, and then underwent a complex transformation.

Nowadays, it has become an entertainment city filled with amusement parks and a paradise for children, because Tiexuan likes children very much. After all... young people are the future of the world.

As for what the underground area will be transformed into, representing the dark history of the Great Zijin Energy Development Company, Lowe only knows the name of the project.
