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

Chapter 29: One wave after another

"Ah! I'm really tired. Let me go back and have a good sleep early!" Ji Bei complained while yawning.

He is really a lazy dog, and this time he took action reluctantly just to repay Liliae's family for taking him in.

I originally thought that Zaobo was just a comedian, but I didn't expect that he relied on the resources of the Ether Foundation to turn the entire underground laboratory into a "spiritual venue", which caused him a lot of trouble.

If they hadn't happened to run into the Rocket trio, things could have been very troublesome.

"It's obvious that you didn't walk many steps. It was basically Little Xingyun who helped you teleport." Nangong Ye complained as usual.

"But the spiritual place here is really disgusting. I have already developed a rejection reaction."

"Why doesn't this world have such things as 'ghost grounds' or 'ghost auras'?"

Ji Bei lazily retorted: "On the offensive side, the ghost system only has general immunity and evil resistance, and the penetration is very good. On the defensive side, it also has general and fighting immunity. You should be content."

No matter from which angle you look at it, the storm over this incident has come to an end, and all that’s left is a celebration party.

However, unfortunately, this laboratory has always been mainly used to study Ultra Beasts, and it once opened the Ultra Hole, so its spatial structure is very unstable.

It got even worse after their battle with Zaobo.

Originally, with just these factors, the Ethereum Foundation's powerful technological capabilities could still maintain stability.

But unfortunately, the little nebula is here. It is itself an ultimate beast, and its small body contains extremely strong energy.

And it helped Ji Bei and others to teleport several times, which inevitably led to the leakage of some energy and became the final fuse.

Therefore, under the influence of many factors, this space could not bear the heavy burden and finally lost its stability completely.

When everyone was laughing and preparing to celebrate, there was suddenly a visible distortion in the air, and a hole with rainbow-colored ripples appeared.

"Meow!" Xinye Cat has been on high alert the whole time. It discovered the distortion of the space the fastest and evolved into the Magic Masked Cat. It was obviously extremely alert.

"What's wrong? Why did it evolve suddenly?" Ji Bei asked his own Pokémon belatedly. He also looked up at the air and his face changed drastically.

"The space here has collapsed. It seems like there is a hole in space and time that connects to another dimension." With her psychic power, Nangong Ye could understand what was happening, but she didn't know where that thing would lead to.

"It's the Ultimate Hole!" Lusamine had experience in this area. She looked at the distorted time and space without feeling afraid. Instead, she showed an obsessed look.

Long before Moon disappeared, after the couple moved to the Alola region, Ultra Caves and Ultra Beasts became their main research areas, and they were deeply fascinated by them.

After Moon disappeared, this pursuit seemed to become the sustenance of their relationship, causing Lusamine to become more and more fanatical about it.

Now in her middle age, her two biggest obsessions are researching the ultimate exotic beasts and finding her husband.

Liliae was different from her mother. She looked at the Ultimate Hole in mid-air and recalled the attack.

It was because Zaobo opened the Ultimate Hole that an Ultimate Beast emerged from it, with a texture like glass, a shape like a jellyfish, and movements like a girl.

"That's definitely dangerous!" She asserted without hesitation, nervous to the extreme.

As expected, just as Liliae said, the Ultra Hole glowed with aurora-like colors, and a Pokémon that looked like a jellyfish floated out of it.

"UB01: Parasite!" Lusamine's eyes showed a fanatical look, as if she was looking at a world-class treasure.

This is the number given to the Ultimate Beast by the Ether Foundation, and its official name is "Xuwuide".

Ji Bei was also very aware of the danger of this Ultimate Beast. In fact, few Ultimate Beasts were safe, and the differences between individuals were more important than the species.

The Xuwuyide in front of us is numbered as a "parasitic beast", so as the name suggests, it will parasitize humans and learn human thinking and emotions.

In fact, for a long time, there was no conclusion as to whether this Pokémon had independent consciousness, and whether its behavior was subjective initiative or just following instinct.

"Mother! Wake up! Now is not the time to do research!" Gladion looked at Lusamine's obsessed expression and immediately reminded her.

His Pokémon had already joined the battle, facing the Hollowid head-on.

However, although this Ultra Beast looked light and fluttery, it actually moved extremely quickly and easily avoided the attacks of the three Pokémon.

"So fast!" Gladion exclaimed. He had never seen such a tough opponent.

"Magic Masked Meow, ever-changing!"

"Pixie, magic shines!"

In addition to Ji Bei, Lusamine also realized the seriousness of the situation. She temporarily put aside her obsession with the Ultra Beasts and fought to protect her family.

She has always been the chairman of the Aether Foundation, but as a trainer she is actually very strong, almost at the level of a king.

Pixie released a powerful pink flash, temporarily suppressing Void, but when the latter stretched out its tentacles to wrap around it, the Pokémon became drowsy and quickly lost its will to fight.

This is Xuwuide's mental poison, which can make the opponent lose the will to fight through the contact of its tentacles.

The Magic Masked Cat has experience in this regard. When it was unfamiliar with the habits of this ultimate beast, it had suffered a great loss. It also knew very well that if it rescued it rashly, the result would only be sending itself to prison.

Even though the scene before it had happened many times, it still had no better solution.

Xuwuidu's combat power is higher than that of the King of Heaven. Even if Ji Bei borrows Xiaoyou or Mingyi's Pokémon, it will be difficult to resist this Ultimate Beast.

At best, all it can do is prioritize Ji Bei's safety.

Countless beautiful flowers exploded around Xuwuyide. The ever-changing flowers could indeed cause considerable damage to it, but there was no way to completely stop its actions.

This ultimate beast seemed to be the one that attacked Liliae several years ago, and its only target was Liliae from the beginning.

It descended lightly, getting closer and closer to the blonde girl who had just escaped from the nightmare, constantly stimulating her psychological defenses.

Even though she recalled everything that had happened in the past and tried hard to overcome her fear of Pokémon, when she faced Void once again, Liliae was still so scared that her face turned pale and her breathing almost stopped.

"Damn it! Liliae!" Gladion was closest to her, and he immediately stood in front of his sister, willing to protect her at all costs.

He could almost feel Xuwuide's tentacles close at hand, with a slippery and slimy texture.

Chapter 30: Xuwuid's Attack

However, at the critical moment, Gladion was not attacked after all.

At the last moment, it was Lusamine who pulled him away, stood in front of her children, and used her not-so-strong body to block Xuwuid.

The next moment, she was tightly entangled by Xuwuide's tentacles, as if she was wearing a helmet, and was completely parasitized.

"Mother!" Liliae exclaimed, her expression was very anxious, and even tears rolled down her eyes.

She has always blamed her mother for being obsessed with work, neglecting her family, and even indirectly causing Gladion to run away from home.

But until this moment, she had fully understood the fact that she was deeply loved by her mother.

Gladion gritted his teeth, trying to stop Xuwuid and save his mother.

But his Pokémon had experienced a great battle before and were very tired. They had almost no strength left to continue fighting.

"Magical Masked Meow?" Ji Bei asked his Pokémon, but the magical cat just shook his head.

At this stage, it does not have the strength to confront Xuwuid head-on, not to mention that it has to worry about hurting Lusamine all the time.

If you want to save her, you can only let Nebula transform into "Solgaleo".

This answer was unexpected. If Magic Masked Cat really had a way to save Lusamine, it would take action quickly even without waiting for his order.

He could only watch as Xuwuid returned to the Ultra Space from the Ultra Hole and kidnapped Liliae and Gladion's mother.

Although I know that according to the plot, there is a way to rescue Lusamine, but what if something happens?

During this period of time alone, it is difficult to imagine what would happen to a normal human being in the ultimate space.

To be honest, Ji Bei had tried his best to prevent Zaobo from catching the little nebula and using its power to open the Ultimate Hole, but the accident still happened.

It is really hard to guarantee that Lusamine can hold on until they reach the Ultimate Space to rescue her like in the original plot.

I don’t know when the little nebula became quiet.

After experiencing continuous teleportation, it seemed very tired and turned into a star cocoon.

It now has a three-layer structure: the innermost core, the middle nebula-like part, and the outermost shell composed of nine yellow objects.

"What's wrong with Little Nebula?" Liliae asked in a concerned yet weak tone.

After experiencing severe shock and losing her mother, her mental state was very bad, but she was still very concerned about her friend's situation.

"Xiao Xingyun is fine. He just overused his strength and fell into a deep sleep. This form is somewhat similar to that of an iron pupa or an iron shell pupa. Perhaps it is a necessary form for metamorphosis."

Ji Bei replied: "In contrast, we need to find a way to open the Ultimate Hole again."

With such a big commotion in the underground laboratory, it was impossible for the Aether Foundation to remain silent. Dr. Barnett and Bi Ke arrived almost at the same time and understood everything that happened here within a few minutes.

"That bastard Zaobo!" Bi Ke clenched her fists and slammed the iron wall beside her, making a loud metal collision sound, which was completely contrary to her quiet appearance.

"Although I have always known that this guy is unreliable, I never thought he would be so wicked. Damn it!"

She is not only a cadre of the Aether Foundation, but also a core member. She has known Lusamine for a long time and has a good relationship with her. Naturally, she is very worried about the safety of this close friend.

Dr. Barnett also wanted to question Zaobo, but because Nangong Ye had deprived him of his five senses, he was unconscious and only had one breath left.

"Forget it. There's no use keeping this guy awake anyway."

"Dr. Barnett, is there any way to open the Ultimate Hole again?" Ji Bei asked.

He received a stern answer: "No, the spatial structure here is very unstable. It is already difficult to accurately locate. Even if the Ultimate Hole is opened, we don't know where it will lead to."

“We’ll have to find another way.”

"Other methods? What methods?" Gladion asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer right away." Dr. Barnett looked apologetic.

She actually had an emergency plan, but it was too dangerous, at least she couldn't let these young people take risks.

At the same time, Ji Bei became serious for a rare time, and he almost thought of a plan to rescue Lusamine in an instant.

"Horse, take me to the Pokémon School and find Professor Kukui!" He rode on his Pokémon and gave the order immediately.

"Woof!" Knowing the seriousness of the problem, Arcanine immediately ran away, flexibly looking for a route to leave the Ether Foundation.

This move was quite high-profile, at least his companions around him could not have turned a blind eye to it.

"Wait! Where are you going!" Liliae shouted worriedly, but the next moment Ji Bei disappeared.

After evolution, Arcanine's running is indeed like the whistling wind, and as fast as an arrow shot from a bow.

"This guy doesn't seem to be an impulsive person under normal circumstances!" Gladion felt that his already anxious mood became even more anxious.

"I'll follow him first. I always feel uneasy leaving that idiot alone." Nangong Ye closed his eyes and mobilized his spiritual energy to find Ji Bei's location.

Now that the mental field no longer existed, she could use her psychic powers freely.

The next moment, the girl's figure disappeared out of thin air and appeared in front of Ji Bei.

"Phew! It's really hard to locate a moving target."

"So, explain where you're going?"

"Don't you always say that we are a community with a shared future?"

Ji Bei was helpless. He had not planned to bring Nangong Ye with him this time. It was obviously not easy to get rid of her.

"The Ultimate Hole is a very dangerous place. I don't want you to take risks again."

"So you will go alone from now on?" Nangong Ye asked back.

"I'm going to die?" Ji Bei replied unhappily.

"I'm definitely looking for a trainer with real ability! I'm only going to be a guide."

He is still self-aware.

"That sounds good. I thought you really considered yourself a 'legendary trainer'."

"Who are you looking for? Chihong? A'du? Or Dan Emperor?" Nangong Ye continued to ask. She knew that Ji Bei had some friendship with these champions.

"By the time these people get to Alola, Ms. Lusamine will be dead."

"I'm looking for Dr. Kukui!"

"Dr. Kukui? Isn't he a researcher?" Nangong Ye was puzzled.

This is normal. Even in the Alola region, not many people know about Professor Kukui's strength. At least the younger generation of trainers are all kept in the dark.

"Being a researcher doesn't mean you're weak." Ji Bei replied: "You should know that among the champions there are some who work part-time as actors, archaeologists, and stone diggers."
