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

She looked at Liliae, who was protected by Zhulan. "I want you to come back with your little Xingyun."

Zhulan said decisively: "Liliae can't go back!"

Lusamine ignored her, her dull eyes continuing to stare at Lillie. "If you don't come back, Lillie, I'll put all the Pokémon you keep at home in my collection, and they'll never move again."

The collection room uses the Ether Foundation's 'living freezing technology' to freeze Pokémon into ice sculptures and display them forever in glass cabinets.

"No!" Lillie said quickly, gritting her teeth. "I..."

Lusamine ignored Lillie's answer, or perhaps she knew what choice her daughter would make, so there was no need to continue, and she simply closed the call.

With a click, the screen returned to darkness, revealing Lillie's troubled face.

No. Those adorable Pokémon that had accompanied her since childhood would be pinned on display by her mother for the rest of their lives.

Going there could endanger the entire Alola region, and all the efforts she and Gladion had made might be in vain.

Just when Liliae was having trouble deciding, Xu Li stretched out his sinful hands and rubbed Liliae's golden head, messing up her originally smooth hair.

"Why think so much? Just go. I'm here!"

"Hmm..." Liliae covered her hair and stared at Xu Li blankly, then nodded heavily, "Yeah!"

"Mogu!" Little Nebula also raised his nebula-like arms seriously, indicating that he would definitely help Lillie!

"Hmph," Xu Li looked back at Zaobo who was standing beside him. "Can you lead the way now? Your chairman has given the order."

Facing Xu Li's dangerous gaze, Zaobo nodded reluctantly: "Okay, okay..."

……

Below the four islands of Alola, there is an artificial island created out of thin air by the Ether Foundation, which serves as the base of the Ether Foundation - Ether Paradise.

On it is the Aether Foundation headquarters building, as well as the Lusamine House, where Lillie grew up.

It is like an aircraft carrier parked on the ocean, made of steel all around, full of technological atmosphere.

"Roar!" As Xijiana's Dragonite landed on a flat deck on the west side of the Aether Paradise, Xu Li, Liliae, Zhulan and others were already standing here, as well as Zaobo.

"Is this Lillie's home?" Shijiana looked around and suddenly said, "It's such a closed island. It must be difficult to contact the outside world."

"Well...it's not that difficult," Lillie said, holding Vulpix in her arms. "There are helicopters to pick you up."

Xi Jiana was surprised: "Every time you go out, you have a helicopter!?"

I can't help but sigh at how wealthy Lillie's family is.

At this time, because everyone has been standing here for a long time,

A woman with big curly brown-purple hair, wearing an Aether Foundation uniform, walked over and called out softly, "Liliae..."

Liliae exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie Biko!"

Piccolo noticed Vulpix in Lillie's arms and smiled. "You... can interact with Pokémon now? No, now's not the time to talk about that. Lusamine... Chairman, let me greet you."

At the end, Pico continued hesitantly, "Lillie... Lusamine might have just been impulsive. Don't take her words to heart."

Lillie just shook her head and said in a complicated tone, "Let's go."

But seeing Xu Li and the others about to follow, Bi Ke quickly shook her head: "Aether Paradise has been put on alert for non-relevant personnel... Don't go any further. Leave Lilia to me..."

"No, I'm worried." Xu Li shook his head and was about to leave.

Bi Ke quickly advised: "As soon as you go in, you will be attacked! Really..."

But it was no use trying to persuade them. As they were trying to persuade them, Xu Li and the others entered the Ether Foundation. Pico could only helplessly tell them Lusamine's location.

As soon as they entered, the entire building indeed emitted a red warning, and several fighters wearing the silver-white uniforms of the Aether Foundation appeared and released their Pokémon.

But Xu Li and others didn't need to take action. Xiao Zhao and Xi Jiana each summoned a Sniper Owl and a Dragonite to resist them.

But seeing more and more fighters,

Nazzi's eyes flashed with superpowers. She waved at Xu Li and Zhu Lan, smiling slightly, "You guys go ahead. I haven't fought in a long time."

"Row."

Xu Li and Zhu Lan took Lilia straight to the top floor, outside the room where Lusamine was.

As they approached, the door opened directly, revealing a silver-white interior. The only different color was the golden hair of Lusamine inside.

She stepped on the ground with the sound of crisp high heels. Facing Xu Li, Zhu Lan and Liliae, she seemed not surprised. After staring at Xu Li for a while, she asked, "Where is Cosmogu?"

"Mogu?" Little Nebula poked her head out from Lillie's backpack.

Lillie looked at Lusamine nervously. "If we open the Ultra Hole, what if someone disappears inside like my father did?"

"I just want to find my husband! As for the other missing people, who cares?" Lusamine stroked the corner of her mouth, her voice cold. "Even if you are my daughter, you can't stop me."

Lillie quickly protected Little Nebula behind her and shouted, "I won't let you get Little Nebula!"

Lusamine suddenly smiled and said, "Who said I was going to get it?"

As Lusamine said this, she pressed a button on the table next to her. In an instant, the little Nebula beside Lillie let out a painful groan. The star energy overflowing from her body was suddenly forcibly absorbed by the surrounding titanium white walls and gathered on a wall behind Lusamine.

In less than a moment, under Lillie's incredulous gaze, a deep blue hole slowly emerged and expanded.

Lusamine: "This is a device I specially prepared, but it's a one-time use. Lillie, hurry up! Soon after the Ultra Hole is formed, this place... will explode."

"...How is this possible?" Lillie cried out in a trembling voice, "No! It's very dangerous inside the Ultra Cave. I've already lost my father, and I don't want to lose my mother either!"

But as the Ultimate Hole was fully opened, a Void slowly emerged from inside. Lusamine smiled and took the initiative to merge with it.

In response to Lillie's worried words, Lusamine gently shook her head and smiled faintly.

"I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time... Lillie, you were still young back then, so you probably don't have any memories of your father..."

"I have memories, but as time went by, that mysterious power quietly erased even the memories of him in my head."

"One afternoon while working at the foundation, I suddenly realized, in a trance, that I couldn't quite recall what he looked like, or how we'd spent time together..."

"You don't understand how awful that feeling is!"

"Your father must still exist in this world! Perhaps it's because he's on the other side of the Ultra Space that our memories have vanished."

Lusamine looked at her body that had merged with Xuwuid.

"Gladion took the Attribute Void away. This is the only way I can survive in the Ultra Dimension. Don't worry about me, Lillie."

"Dear... I'm here to see you..."

As the surrounding walls shook, a wall suddenly slid down, revealing a device inside that was operating at full capacity.

It was indeed as Lusamine had said, this place was extremely dangerous right now.

"Mother!" Lillie's eyes widened as she watched Lusamine actively merge with her. She stumbled a few times, but still wanted to go up and pull her back. "No! Don't go in!"

But Xu Li pulled him back and said seriously,

"You go first, I'll come!"

"No! Ali!"

There's no time to use Pokémon right now.

As he spoke, despite Zhu Lan's words of dissuasion, Xu Li crossed half the room in three steps and came to the side of Lusamine, whose half body had already merged into Xuwuide.

He firmly grasped Lusamine's slender, fair neck, exerted force with his wrist, and dug his fingers into her delicate skin. As Lusamine made a "cough" sound with some discomfort in her throat, he tried to drag her down.

"cough……"

Lusamine just gritted her teeth and stared at Xu Li with an unyielding look, kicking Xu Li with her long, curvy legs, trying to kick him away.

But Xu Li still underestimated the degree of integration of Xuwu Yide and was unable to separate them for a while.

Gradually,

Xu Li noticed that Lusamine's eyes had changed. She stared at his face blankly, and even her kicking legs had relaxed.

He thought he had strangled the man to the point of confusion, so he quickly relaxed his strength.

But he found that Lusamine had not changed at all, still staring at him blankly. He raised his hand with difficulty and gently stroked Xu Li's face, his lips slightly opening and closing.

"husband……"

Before Xu Li could react to why she said this, there was a burst of explosions from the walls of the surrounding rooms, and the two of them were sucked into the ultimate cave together.

Chapter 136: Flashing Void Yide

Bang!

There was a violent explosion, and the wall fell off due to the violent impact, followed by bursts of black smoke from the machines running to the extreme, which almost covered the room on the highest floor of the Ether Foundation.

At this moment, this area is extremely dangerous.

But the area where Liliae and the others were was blocked by a pre-planned energy shield, which was the only safe area here.

But Lillie didn't care about this. She stared blankly at the area where Xu Li and Lusamine had originally confronted each other. It was now completely dark, with only occasional gaps visible through which they could see through, making it impossible for them to see the situation clearly.

"Pokkiss, clear the fog!"

"Boshi..."

Following Zhulan's anxious command, Pokkiss, sensing the trainer's mood, quickly swung out gusts of strong wind, and the black smoke was completely forced into the gap revealed by the explosion.

Finally, they could see what was happening here.

But it was not the scene they hoped for, where Xu Li and Lusamine stood quietly.

Instead, the floor was empty, leaving only the ultimate hole that was slowly closing and less than an inch long.

Both women were a little bit incredulous.

"How could it be..." Lillie muttered, stumbling slightly and falling to the ground, "They all went in."

"Wave……"

Pokkiss also looked at Zhulan who was standing still with concern, and his small tail feathers couldn't help but tremble.

After standing there for a long time, Zhulan slowly pulled Liliae up, pursed her lips, and said, "We must trust A-Li. He will bring your mother back."

Although Zhulan felt as upset as Liliae, she needed to stand up calmly at this moment.

"but……"

"We also need to be outside and look for ways to help Ali."

After saying that, Zhulan looked at the small nebula that turned into a core after the Ultimate Cave opened and fell to the ground with a ding, as well as Bi Ke who came here specially because of the explosion.

"Can the Ultimate Hole be opened again?"

Pi Ke stared blankly at the surroundings for a moment, then checked them over before saying helplessly, "As you can see, all the energy-absorbing devices have been destroyed. It'll take at least two months to..."

Then, Pico suddenly thought of something and looked at Cosmom who had fallen to the ground. "It is said that if the Star Cocoon evolves again, it can automatically open the door to the Ultra Cave. Maybe it can be done."

"What do we need to do?" Lillie asked quickly.

Pico smacked her head and said, "I need to look up information on this. Please follow me. Let's go to the library of the Aether Foundation."

Just as everyone was preparing to move forward,

Sudden……

Bang!

The wall on the side shattered, revealing the white-blue sky outside and a huge grass-green creature poking its head in from outside.

Pico turned around and recognized the creature at once, her eyes widening: "Rayquaza!? Why is it here..."

Liekongzuo ignored them and just stared blankly at the place where Xu Li disappeared, and a roar full of surprise and doubt rang out.

“Hoo-huh!?”

I was just distracted.

Why did his aura suddenly disappear?!

……

The other side of the Ultimate Cave.

Xu Li woke up slowly when he felt the itchy and moist touch on his face. When he turned around, he saw Xinye Cat licking his cheek with its pink tongue. Seeing that he woke up, it let out a surprised "meow".

On the side, Sylveon and Vulpix were guarding the place, confronting the Hollowid that was possessing Lusamine. Hollowid was obviously at a disadvantage, and its white body trembled slightly under their threat.

Perhaps he didn't do anything because he was concerned that Xu Li was unconscious.
