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

"But I told you without reservation."

Xu Li was silent for a moment: "I don't support your current decision."

But he knew that even if he controlled Roz now, he would not be able to stop Roz's actions, and it might even cause more unpredictable consequences.

"...When you wake up 'Dark Night', remember to call me." At this point, Xu Li could only say this, and then turned and left.

"Of course." Roz smiled and looked at Xu Li's back, "...Thank you."

In silence, Xu Li took the elevator to the bottom of the Lods Building.

Olive, who had been serving as Xu Li's guide in the Roz Building, hesitated for a moment when they were about to reach the first floor. She then said, "Lord Roz is a rather impatient person. Once he decides on something, he wants to complete it immediately."

"But... as Lord Roz's secretary, I will unconditionally support his choice. Because I believe in Lord Roz's decision!"

"..."

"So?" Seeing that Olivia didn't say anything, Xu Li asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

Olivia's face flushed immediately, and she opened her mouth, but finally remained silent.

But her eyes were a little drooped.

…………

Leaving the Lords Building,

"Elite Foundation personnel have begun to gradually gather in the Galar region...all equipped with Ultra Beasts." Lusamine watched Olivia's departing back, squeezed Xu Li's arm against hers, and said happily, "This is all thanks to you, my husband. You've allowed us to study Ultra Beasts."

Xu Li: “…”

"There's no need for such unreasonable praise..." he said helplessly, "It was you who developed and opened the Ultimate Hole. Even all the other research and contacts were done by you."

Lusamine didn't explain, she just smiled.

She is telling the truth!

"So..." Lusamine paused and asked expectantly, "Is there a reward for doing all this?"

"What reward do you want?" Xu Li said helplessly.

"I want..." Lusamine looked around and said softly, "At least to live with you. We are husband and wife."

Xu Li: "...That's just your imagination."

"That's really heartbreaking." Lusamine lowered her head, her rosy lips tightly pursed. "Then I'll ask for another reward..."

After saying that, she pulled Xu Li into a small alley that she had already observed was almost deserted.

"What..." Xu Li hadn't finished asking.

Lusamine gradually raised her neck, the tip of her tender red tongue slightly extended, and the wet saliva trail extended upward along Xu Li's chest, finally reaching Xu Li's neck.

Xu Li: “…”

　 He just moved his body, his head raised at Lusamine's actions, and was about to stop her.

"Husband, you can't resist." Lusamine panted slightly, her eyes gradually turning red, and she threatened softly, "How can you do something you asked me to do without a reward? Just because you are my husband, you can't order me around unconditionally..."

"I, too, need a reward..."

Xu Li froze for a moment.

Lusamine looked at the arteries and ligaments on Xu Li's neck that were stretched because he raised his head, and chuckled softly. She held it with her red lips, and her small tongue tip danced flexibly in it, sucking it from time to time.

Feeling the skin beneath her lips trembling and the pounding of her heartbeat stirring between her lips and tongue, Lusamine's face turned a sickly red.

"You're so perverted." Xu Li said stiffly.

"Don't you like it..." Lusamine was obsessed with the smell. She squeezed her legs together, looked at Xu Li's already moist neck, and exhaled warmly, "But I like it so much..."

"..."

"Heh." After a moment of silence, Xu Li suddenly smiled. He stroked Lusamine's golden hair and gently pressed it down. "Since you like it."

"Yes, yes... I like it very much. Anything, as long as it has..."

Lusamine's head obediently responded to the direction of Xu Li's force.

"The smell of my husband..."

Chapter 214: Gigantamax Crisis

Lusamine received her reward as she wished.

——A cup of specially made nutritious milk.

"Gu..." Her throat twitched slightly before she slowly raised her head, her delicate face exuding mature charm, full of intoxication.

Red lips parted slightly.

Demonstrating her good oral hygiene.

After savoring it carefully, Lusamine smiled and said, "I'm so satisfied, it's full of my husband's flavor... This is the best reward for me..."

Xu Li sighed lightly, and couldn't help but feel a little silent in the face of Lusamine's sudden nymphomaniac behavior.

"Hubby, next..." Lusamine opened her mouth slightly, feeling the satisfaction from before, and murmured softly, "I want more..."

"Aren't you satisfied?" Xu Li said.

"Satisfied, but even more satisfied... isn't it?" Lusamine raised her lips, "Can I..."

"No." Xu Li gently pinched Lusamine's fair chin. "Didn't you just say this? This reward is given to you at my request. I can't give you unlimited rewards just because you call me husband, right?"

"And now, I'm asking you to do something, but there's not even a hint of what's going on... As for the remaining 'rewards', come back to me after this is over..."

Xu Li gently stroked Lusamine's smooth cheek and said with a smile.

"Really..." Lusamine puffed up her cheeks slightly, "What I said backfired. But it doesn't matter, this matter... Lusamine, I will handle it well..."

"I believe you." Xu Li smiled.

"From now on, I will carefully command the combatants of our foundation. So..." Lusamine said, "Honey, remember to think of me."

"Ah."

……

By the time Xu Li and Lusamine walked out of the alley, noon had passed and the sun was gradually setting.

Walking on the street in the north of Gongmen City, a girl with pink and purple hair waved at Xu Li.

“Xu Li, Xu Li…!”

Zi Yu trotted forward, hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! I just finished the battle and ran into you, Xu Li. I heard that there's a fish-frying master in the Palace Gate Arena who can also fry fish at the Super Ball level!"

Xu Li's mouth twitched, "Shouldn't you be talking about me?"

He felt that he hadn't really fried fish. The Pokémon he used were all adapted to the Competitive Stage, giving his other Pokémon more opportunities to appear - such as Baby Bear and Hunting Butterfly.

After all, if they really have to fight in the Masters Tournament, only Xu Li's strongest Pokémon will have the chance to appear.

——Although they are at the same stage, with the help of Xu Li’s buff, his Pokémon can still easily defeat the opponent.

"I think it's you!" Zi Yu complained, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Who is this sister? My name is Zi Yu."

She was talking about Lusamine.

Lusamine pursed her lips as she introduced herself, then said with a smile, "I'll leave my husband in your care! I need to leave first..."

"Husband?!" Zi Yu's eyes widened instantly. Looking at Xu Li's helpless but undeniable face, she said in disbelief, "You, you... are married?! Xu Li, you're still so young..."

She never imagined that the only friend she had made in Galar was already...

Zi Yu's pretty face was stunned, and then she said, "Do I need to avoid suspicion..."

Xu Li helplessly watched Lusamine's departing back, then suddenly smiled, "Although we're not married yet, we're almost there. As for avoiding suspicion, that's necessary!"

"Huh?" Zi Yu was stunned. "You really want it?!"

"Just kidding." Xu Li said, "Let's go. Don't stand on the street."

"oh oh……"

……

Although shocked by the news that his friend was married, Zi Yu quickly recovered.

After all, she and Xu Li are just friends.

——He is a very great friend of hers!

Zi Yu thought to himself, a smile on his face as he looked straight at the street.

"Did you know?" Zi Yu suddenly said, "The same Dynamization event we encountered in Mugan Town just now appeared all over Galar!"

"The Galar League is urgently calling for capable trainers to stop the sudden surge of Gigantamax Pokémon..."

"Uh..." Xu Li was stunned for a moment, "Is it that serious?"

"Yes," said Zi Yu. "I don't know why this phenomenon occurs, but wild Pokémon suddenly Dynamax and so on... The Galar League hasn't explained it either. But the Dynamaxing of our power points in the battlefield keeps failing from time to time..."

"Everything was normal yesterday, but... it seems that everything in Galar has changed after the power outage..." Zi Yu said after thinking for a while.

Xu Li was silent for a moment, and was about to say something, but then...

Roar!

In the distance, a gigantic steel armored crow suddenly descended over the city of Gongmen. Just by flapping its wings with a cold steel glow, it smashed the top floor of a residential building to pieces!

What's more, the hurricane generated by the Gigantamaxed Steelix turned a place in Gongmen City into the center of the storm.

Xu Li frowned.

They were not very close to Steelix.

However, this was not a problem for Xu Li. He took out the magatama pendant from his chest, and the orange-red phantom of a carp gradually lit up and swam around Xu Li.

"Guuuu——"

"See that big guy?" Xu Li pointed at the Gigantamax Steelix. "Big disaster!"

The ancient jade fish blinked its eyes surrounded by sapphire jade. As soon as Xu Li finished speaking, dark energy overflowed from its body. It swam into the air and stared at the super-giant Steelix. Waves of disaster-like phantoms kept rushing towards Steelix.

It won't take a moment.

Flying high, and just as it was about to unleash a hurricane that could destroy at least half of a residential area, the Gigantamax Steelix suddenly let out a wailing scream!

As if half of its strength had been cut off, Steelix's huge steel body suddenly fell from the air, and with a loud bang, it crashed into the street between two houses.

After that, Xu Li did not take any action.

Because he saw Charizard suddenly appear from the sky and go straight for Steelix.

Soon, at the hands of the Dan Emperor, the Gigantamax Steel Crow, having endured the "Great Disaster" of Xu Li's Ancient Jade Fish, was reduced to its original form. However, its strength remained undiminished, and it attempted to escape, flapping its wings with difficulty as it flew away.

Unfortunately, in its panic, it chose to escape in the direction where Xu Li was.

"Explosive flames!"

Looking at Steelix's staggering back, Dandi Charizard's mouth suddenly bulged out, and a ball of flame compressed to the extreme suddenly spurted out from its mouth, and suddenly exploded from Steelix's back!

Bang!

Steelix's body in the air was suddenly knocked away!

It lost control at an extremely fast speed and rolled rapidly towards Xu Li.

Xu Li: “…”

"The hot wind!" he said. "Stop it."

"Guuuu——"

The Ancient Jade Fish swam in a figure eight pattern, and the air in the sky gradually became hotter, gradually forming a hot wind that blew towards the Steel Armored Crows approaching them. With precise control, not a single bit of excess heat escaped.

——The heat all went to Steelix.

The blue-black steel armor instantly burned red, and its eyes, which had been red, were almost losing their luster, and the whites of its eyes gradually turned pale. However, the wind also helped to slow the speed of the Steel Crow's descent from the sky.

In order to prevent it from falling on the flowers and plants, Xu Li threw the Poké Ball.

Ding!

Steelix turned into white light from the sky, having dissipated its last bit of physical strength, so that the Poké Ball that captured it did not even need to be shaken before a sound of successful capture was made.
