I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

Apparently, Xu Li was not the only one who could hear Liliae's cry for help. Zhu Lan came out from another direction with a serious expression on her face, and glanced at the members of the Skeleton Team with an unfriendly look.

"Tell me! Why are you kidnapping others?"

The tone was extremely cold.

Zhulan obviously hated this act of kidnapping others, and the fact that it was still the beach brought back some bad memories for Zhulan.

"You, if you have the guts, call the police and send us to jail..." The member of the Skeleton Team who was called the boss just now admitted defeat. He said stubbornly and with a bit of pride, and barely stretched out a palm from the sand pile and made an unfriendly gesture.

"At most it's an attempted kidnapping. He won't be held for long and will be released."

"you……"

"Okay, then what about attacking important members of the alliance?" Xu Li walked over with a smile, patted Zhu Lan's trembling body, and continued to speak in the uncertain expression of the Skeleton Team leader.

"Assaulting the champion, is that enough? The charge is enough to make you brag about it for the rest of your life."

"Of course, squat for half your life first?"

Xu Li smiled, but his foot stepped directly on the palm of the Skeleton Team leader's hand, which was making an unhealthy gesture. In an instant, a series of "crackling" sounds of bones and his wailing were heard at the same time.

“Ahhhhhhh…!”

Chapter 133: Lillie's Mother's Encounter and System Z

"Tell me, why did you kidnap Liliae?"

After the leader of the Skeleton Team screamed, Zhu Lan gently pulled Xu Li away and asked sternly.

"Uh..." He groaned in pain and buried his palms back in the sand. He originally wanted to remain stubborn, but when he thought of what Xu Li had just said, although he didn't quite understand what kind of championship it was, he still felt a little scared.

"What I said... can you let me go? As long as..."

"You can say it or not." Xu Li shrugged, interrupted him, and planned to arrest this group of people directly.

Anyway, it's just those things, you can guess them.

Zhu Lan, however, pulled Xu Li back and frowned as she said to the Skeleton Team member whose head was just visible on the ground, "As long as what you said is true, we will treat it as an attempted kidnapping."

"..."

Be silent for a while.

With a hint of hatred towards Xu Li, he snorted and said, "Someone commissioned us to kidnap this girl and that Pokémon... I don't know who it was."

"I'm afraid the main thing is to capture Little Xingyun." Xu Li added silently.

"Mogu...?" Little Nebula blinked his golden eyes, and the misty arms on both sides pointed at himself in a very vivid way. After getting Xu Li's affirmation, he finally showed a frightened expression.

Lilia pursed her lips, she knew who it was.

For a moment, her body swayed a little. Afraid of falling, she squatted down and hugged her white knees, feeling a little at a loss.

"What's wrong?" Zhulan quickly squatted down to comfort Liliae, "Don't worry, we will..."

And looking at the unfriendly eyes of the Skull Team,

Xu Li picked up a tarpaulin from the side and covered the heads of the five Skeleton Team members that were exposed on the sand. The darkness came, causing them to panic in an instant and shout in haste.

"What do you want to do... You can't go back on your word. Captain Beautiful won't let you go! You..."

"Shut up, or else..." Vulpix beside them immediately blew extremely cold air to the edge of the tarpaulin, as if making them fall into an ice cave. Their screams were immediately stuck for a few times and then choked back.

Xu Li looked at the two blonde women squatting beside him, one big and one small, and sighed, "Lilia, tell me."

Hearing this, Lillie raised her somewhat aggrieved face, opened her mouth, then lowered her head and said, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time... I can't..."

Liliae hadn't finished speaking yet.

Under Zhulan's reproachful gaze, Xu Li stretched out his finger and flicked it on Lily's smooth forehead.

"Hmm..." Lillie covered her forehead.

"Don't you trust us?" Xu Li said with a smile, "She just wants your little nebula to open the Ultimate Hole..."

Lilia looked up in surprise, her face filled with disbelief: "...How did you know that?"

This is something that only a very few people in the Ether Foundation know.

Xu Li waved his hand: "I knew it, so whether you say it or not, we are involved. If you are willing to help us, we will have less trouble."

Lillie: "..."

After a moment, Lillie's voice rang out: "The one who hired them to kidnap me should be... my mother."

Lilia nodded at Zhulan's incredulous expression.

"Yes, my mother's name is Lusamine, the chairman of the Aether Foundation."

"Ten years ago, my father accidentally fell into the Ultima Hole. Since then, there's been no news of him. Mother went a little crazy... She began to control my brother and me even more strictly. She became obsessed with researching the Ultima Hole, wanting to get my father out at all costs..."

"But, but... opening the Ultra Hole will cause alien beasts to frequently invade the real world, bringing indelible disaster to the entire island of Alola. But mother doesn't care about this at all and is obsessed with opening the Ultra Hole."

"And my father has been missing for many years," Lillie said, a little dazed. "It's as if some mysterious force wants to prove that my father doesn't exist, and our impression of him is rapidly blurring."

"My mother is in the same situation as us. Although her memory of my father is extremely vague, she still can't forget him and is obsessed with entering the Ultimate Cave to rescue him..."

"But we don't want our mother to go down this wrong path, so..."

"I took away Little Nebula, who could open the Ultimate Cave. During the pursuit by the Ether Foundation, Little Nebula brought us here through teleportation. We then encountered the Wearing Bear and were rescued by Brother Xu Li."

After saying that, Lillie carefully raised her head and asked in confusion, "Is what my brother and I doing...right?"

"Of course!" Xu Li nodded without hesitation, "Even your father wouldn't want to see your mother so paranoid."

After that, Xu Li patted Liliae's blonde hair and said confidently, "Don't worry. We will deal with any enemy with our own strength. With us here, the Aether Foundation will definitely not be able to take you and Little Xingyun away, so..."

"Just stay here in peace!"

Although Lillie's description was slightly different from his impression of the plot, it didn't have much of an impact.

"Before that..." Xu Li stroked his chin, attracted the attention of Liliae and Zhulan, and turned around, "Let's hand these skeletons over to Miss Junsha first, right?"

Behind Xu Li, Miss Junsha had just arrived. After hearing what Xu Li said, she nodded seriously. A meerkat inspector was following her.

Then, under Miss Junsha's surprised gaze, Xu Li rolled up the tarpaulin, completely revealing the Skeleton Team who were shivering due to the residual coldness of Vulpix.

"Miss Junsha, I'll leave it to you."

"Ah, okay!" Junsha was stunned for a moment before quickly working with Inspector Mongoose to handcuff the Skull Team. After taking a brief statement, she said seriously, "Thank you for your cooperation!"

Then, amid the howling of the Skeleton Team's gang of thugs, Miss Junsha took them away.

"Lilia, you have to stay with one of us for the time being," Xu Li clapped his hands, then pulled Shui Lian, who was standing far away, and said, "Let's go and continue fishing!"

Liliae couldn't help but blink as she watched Xu Li walking away.

That’s it! ?

She quickly followed: "Wait for me..."

Only Zhulan was left holding her forehead, sighing, and followed: "You are so careless."

……

So, this time when fishing, Zhulan and Liliae also joined in, and there was a little nebula above them like a curious baby.

Xu Li finally had no empty-handed fish. After several hours of effort, he fished out two bubble-blowing Shellders one after another. In the hands of New Leaf Cat, they were easily knocked out and subdued.

After dusk, Xu Li stopped fishing at Zhulan's urging.

"Here, Brother Xu Li!" Shui Lian stuffed all the fish she had caught today into Xu Li's hands. "We don't have enough tanks at home to keep them alive, otherwise we'd have to let these little cuties go."

"Then I'll keep it." Xu Li took the Poké Ball given by Shui Lian.

"See you tomorrow!" Shui Lian waved and said goodbye to Xu Li.

On the way back to Haole City.

Zhulan pouted and said, "Really? What do we need so many fish for..."

Xu Li smiled, grabbed the small nebula that was still running around in the air, and rubbed it randomly: "Don't you think the rivers on our island are too empty?"

"Mogu..." In Xu Li's chaotic hands, Xiao Xingyun struggled so hard that his eyes were about to squint.

...

Inside a restaurant in Haole City.

Xu Li rubbed New Leaf's furry grass-green ears vigorously and sighed, "You've been catching all the Pokémon I caught during this period, but it seems like they haven't evolved yet? They're obviously at a much higher level."

"Meow?" Xin Ye Miao didn't understand what was going on, so she stuck out her pink little tongue and licked the back of Xu Li's hand.

"Hmph..." Xu Li tapped its nose, "Then you'll forget about evolving in this lifetime."

Although the Magic Masked Cat is also very good, Xu Li thinks the New Leaf Cat is cuter.

Then Xu Li looked to the side. Lillie, who had been watching him and New Leaf Cat interacting with curiosity and smiling, quickly turned her head away and then blushed because her action was too obvious.

"Hahahaha," Xu Li laughed unceremoniously, "If you really want to come into contact with Pokémon, just do it directly..."

"In theory," Lillie wanted to use her rhetoric, but seeing New Leaf Cat's eager expression, she quickly stopped talking, then puffed up her cheeks and looked at New Leaf Cat.

"Hmm..." Lillie's face was full of confusion.

I stretched out my hand, retracted it, and tried to stretch it out again, but I still didn't dare.

In the end, Xinye Cat took the initiative to slap her outstretched white palm with its claws.

“Ugh~!”

Lillie was petrified for a moment, then she screamed "Ah!" and quickly withdrew her hand, her face flushing red.

"No..." Liliae said with a trembling voice.

"There's a long way to go..." Xu Li said with a smile.

...

At night, Xu Li was lying on the bed in the Haoole Hotel, preparing to have a good rest with Fairy Eevee as his pillow.

With a "bang", the door of the room was pushed open.

Xu Li's heart was filled with alarm bells: "Didn't you say I could rest today?!"

Zhulan walked in slowly wearing pajamas. The slightly transparent material revealed her fair skin with a slight redness, and her further developed body made Xu Li feel desire.

But only a little!

Zhulan covered her mouth and smiled: "If we don't do it tonight, I will hug you."

Xu Li: “…”

What’s the difference between you and rubbing?!

But he couldn't resist, and he held Zhulan, who was emitting warm body temperature, in his arms. The golden hair with the fragrance after bathing rushed into his nose.

"Go to sleep..." Xu Li sighed and closed his eyes.

This made Nazhi, who was outside the door, clench her fists. She regretted that she was a step too late. She pouted and returned to her room silently.

...

After an unknown amount of time, Zhulan's voice rang out: "A-Li...are you asleep?"

"Hmm?" Xu Li replied dazedly, "What's wrong..."

Zhulan tightened her embrace around Xu Li, and when she felt the real thing, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a beautiful arc.

"nothing……"

I am just glad that I can truly feel Xu Li.

She won't be as paranoid and obsessed as Lillie's mother.

……

The next morning, Xu Li was resurrected with full health!

He looked at Zhulan, who had woken up and was silently looking at him, with full energy. He blinked and said in disbelief, "Really not..."

"Hmm," Zhu Lan also got up and looked at Xu Li with charming eyes, "I'll let you go this morning. Wait for you tonight..."

Xu Li was full of confidence: "...Okay."

After spending some time with Zhulan, Xu Li took Liliae to Alola School as usual. After all, it was not easy for Liliae to leave them.
