You're the only one who knows how to battle Pokémon?

At this time, the owner of the hotel also came and he heard the sound of Caterpie breaking the wall.

"What a big noise! ​​What happened here! Are you guys not hurt?"

Gladion and Ji Bei explained truthfully what had happened and promised to give the boss reasonable compensation.

"So that's how it is. So the main responsibility is mine. I let them in just because they said they were your family members, and put you in danger!"

"I at least bear half of the responsibility for this matter, so if you want compensation, just pay half of it!"

In his eyes, Gladion was a man who had no shortage of money, and he took half of it for the sake of his dignity.

"Let's do it this way. Sorry again for causing you trouble!" Gladion bowed his head politely, while Ji Bei paid the fee on the side.

If this amount of money is considered as the rent and food expenses for two people for a year, it is extremely cheap.

After being at Liliae's house for so long and eating and drinking for free, it would be better to help out a little.

"Huh, I'm really tired. I'm going to go back and rest." Ji Bei yawned. It was already evening and he hadn't eaten yet.

"You don't have a place to live now. Are you sure you don't want to go home? Liliao is very worried."

Gladion hesitated. If they were just looking for a place to stay, it wasn't too late now.

But after fighting with Ji Bei and being attacked by Zaobo, he was indeed too tired.

The most important thing is that he was also somewhat convinced by Ji Bei. He felt that if the matter was delayed any further, Liliae's psychological trauma would not be cured out of thin air.

She was able to get in touch with Pokémon during this period because of the efforts of her friends, and as an older brother, he should also make some effort.

"Okay, go back, I'll try to talk to Liliae."

Ji Bei was delighted. His hard work for half a day finally paid off.

"Xiao Xingyun, please! Send us back!"

He took out a few candies and gave them to Xiao Xingyun.

"Chuck!" Little Nebula happily finished the candy in one breath, and then the two clouds touched Ji Bei and Gladion respectively, sending them back to the dining room in Liliae's house.

At this moment, Nangong Ye and Liliae were preparing to eat, and the table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.

"Brother! Ji Bei!" Liliae was surprised and happy, but doubts arose the next moment.

"What happened to you two? Why are your faces bruised and swollen? Is it okay? Is it serious?"

Ji Bei and Gladion looked at each other and decided to hide the fact of the fight. Otherwise, given Liliae's personality, she would inevitably give them a long lecture.

"I fell while walking."

"I bumped into a tree while walking."

"???" Liliae tilted her head, totally not understanding what nonsense these two were talking about.

How can you pretend to be like this after falling and hitting a tree? How many times does it take to get swollen all over?

How could it happen that they fell on the same day at the same time?

"Pfft." Nangong Ye couldn't help laughing and said seriously: "Ji Bei, you are swollen like a pig!"

Having said that, she still took out the medical kit she carried with her and did some simple disinfection and bandaging for Ji Bei.

"Ahhh! It hurts! Can you be gentler?" Ji Bei struggled violently.

It feels really uncomfortable to have alcohol poured on the wound.

"Be still and don't move!" Nangong Ye increased his strength.

She suddenly thought of something and said, "Have you heard of 'sleep paralysis'?"

"Depriving the five senses is within the scope of psychic power, so I can temporarily block your sense of touch."

Nangong Ye pointed a black ghost energy at Ji Bei's forehead, and then continued to bandage and apply medicine.

Blocking the sense of touch does not mean blocking the sense of pain. For a moment, Ji Bei felt as if he had become a soul, as if he did not exist in this world. He was clearly lying down, but he seemed to be suspended in the universe.

To be honest, it's extremely weird, so weird that it's scary.

He wanted to make a sound, but because he had lost his sense of touch, he had no way of controlling the vibration of the tape.

I don't even know if my breathing is real.

Fortunately, Nangong Ye’s bandage did not last too long, and she quickly restored Ji Bei’s sense of touch.

“It was horrible, I felt like I was dying!”

"Honestly, it's like being trapped in a time and space that I can't escape from."

"Don't give me this next time."

He turned pale and protested.

Psychic abilities are really much more dangerous than superpowers!

"Really? It felt okay when I used it myself." Nangong Ye frowned, seeming to be thinking.

"My sister is not feeling unwell."

"It seems that you sisters have become complete ghost humans!" Ji Bei complained immediately.

On the other side, Liliae also applied medicine to Gladion, and she looked happier than usual.

"Brother is finally back."

"Ji Bei, thank you very much, thank you so much!"

Gladion was a little unhappy because Liliae didn't express much of her longing for him, but instead attributed her return entirely to Ji Bei's credit.

Oh, it seems to be true. From Ji Bei's perspective, it took a lot of effort to get him back.

"Lilia, I have something to tell you, but it's a long story, so let's eat first."

Ji Bei nodded in agreement. After all this trouble, he was indeed hungry.

Chapter 23 Liliae's Determination

After dinner, Gladion explained to Liliae what had happened in the past.

Four years ago, Zaobo opened the Ultima Hole without permission, causing UB:01 (Hyulwuid) to invade the real world and attempt to abduct Liliae.

It was Ginbanzmon who pounced on UB:01 at the critical moment and saved Liliae.

From Gladion's perspective, this incident traumatized his sister, causing her to completely forget what happened and lose the ability to interact with Pokémon.

"It was Ginzord that saved me? Is that the Pokémon?" Liliae found what she heard quite interesting.

Because when she saw the Pokémon, all she could feel was fear, and she had no memory of being rescued.

Ji Bei thought for a moment, and he remembered that this might not be the whole story. It seemed that Gladion didn't know about Zaob ordering the Dream Tapir to use hypnosis to force Liliae to forget this memory.

Otherwise, with this sister-con personality, he would have rushed up to fight that scumbag to the death, instead of compromising to this extent.

This forced erasure of her memory also deprived Liliae of the opportunity to take the time to accept this memory and overcome her fear, resulting in her being unable to come into contact with Pokémon for four years.

"Zaobo was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he blocked all information and put shackles on 'SilverBeast' to restrict its freedom, so I ran away with this Pokémon!" Gladion continued to explain.

"Just now, he pretended to be one of my family members and came to the hotel where we were staying, trying to take the Silver Companion Beast away by force. He wanted to completely conceal what happened in the past."

"I couldn't fight with all my strength in that environment. Fortunately, Ji Bei came to me and I was out of danger!"

"That's too much! How can you do such a thing!" Liliae stood up.

She was not speaking up for her brother, but she felt that the Silver Companion War Beast had been treated cruelly.

"Does mother know all this? How dare she condone the officials of the Aether Foundation like this!"

Gladion smiled grimly: "Haha... Not only did she know, she was the one who gave the order to retrieve the Silver Companion War Beast!"

"What did you say!" Liliae stood up, obviously a little bit incredulous.

However, it is a rare opportunity for my brother to come back, so the information he said must be meaningful.

So, mother is really...

"That may not be the case." Ji Bei interrupted, "You didn't hear Ms. Lusamine say that in person, and Zaobo didn't provide sufficient evidence. It's likely that he made it up."

"After all, if your mother knew about this, why would he suppress the truth?"

"Isn't it because he is afraid that if Lady Lusamine finds out, she will bring charges against him?"

Hearing him say this, Liliae calmed down a little and looked at her brother with hopeful eyes.

Gladion also came to his senses. He couldn't think about it carefully because it concerned his relatives. After Ji Bei's words, he basically understood everything.

"You are right. Mother may not know about this."

"The more important thing is, Lilia, do you want to truly remember what happened in the past? Even if it is a serious psychological trauma for you."

Narrating with words alone could only give her some vague memories. If she wanted to remember it completely, she would probably have to be there in person.

Liliae's lips were slightly closed, and a firm look appeared in her eyes: "Brother, you said that the 'Silver Companion War Beast' saved me. I want to express my gratitude to it, so I must recall what happened at that time!"

Gladion nodded, he felt his sister's intention.

"I understand now. I was too self-righteous in the past. I thought that hiding everything would help me overcome my fear in a comfortable environment."

"Well, after resting today, we will set off tomorrow."

If Ji Bei hadn't come all the way here to beat him up, how long would it take for him to understand Liliae's true feelings?

After the communication, Gladion felt more relaxed than ever before and released a lot of pressure at once.

He couldn't help but begin to feel relieved.

"Lilia has indeed found someone she can spend her life with. I shouldn't be so resistant. I should be happy for her!"

……

The next day, Gladion and Liliae were ready to go, and Ji Bei would naturally go with them, and Nangong Ye, as his partner, would also follow.

With the help of Little Nebula, they teleported to the land that held memories of the past.

The farmstead, where the family once grew fruits and vegetables.

The baby room, this is where Gladion and Liliae were born and raised.

Lusamine's office, with family photos covering the walls.

And finally, they came to the laboratory of the Aether Foundation.

Although it is called a laboratory, it is not just a room. Instead, it is extremely large, like a maze or a dungeon. This shows how much money was invested in its establishment, and it has a strong sense of the futuristic.

"Beep beep..."

On the other side, Zaobo, who was still a cadre, received a warning from the alarm in his office.

He immediately activated the surveillance to see where the intruder was.

Soon, he discovered Ji Bei, Liliai and their group.

"Young Master? Young Miss? And two people from Jiuzhou who are just gigolos?"

"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you throw yourself into it!"

"As long as we catch them all and erase all memories of this incident, my affairs at the Aether Foundation will never be exposed!"

"Not only that, the little nebula is also here. We can completely rely on its power to open the Ultimate Hole!"

"This is President Lusamine's lifelong pursuit. As long as she achieves it, becoming the vice president of the 'Ether Foundation' will no longer be a dream!"

"Once you have control over the real power, you can boil the frog in warm water and slowly sideline the president..."

"In this way, the entire Ether Foundation will be my Zaobo's asset!"

As soon as he went out, he saw three employees slacking off.

These three newcomers have always been half-baked, but their appearance today was just the right timing.

"You three! Come here!"

"Here we come." A man, a woman and a dwarf, three people walked slowly and weakly, obviously having no motivation.
