Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 50 Mr. Mammon is so gentle

Similarly, on Akala Island, there are shady jungles.

This is one of the testing grounds on Akara Island, and Mizuki is currently following Captain Mao into the forest to undergo the test.

Outside the shady woods, Lillie, dressed in a white dress, sat on a bench, taking a letter out of her bag with both hands. Her delicate face showed hesitation and confusion.

This letter was given to her by a stranger that morning. She only realized it was a letter from her mother, Lusamine, after she opened it.

Lillie was very hesitant at this moment; she didn't know what to do.

Should she return to Etherland as the letter instructed? But she was afraid; she feared the current Lusamine.

Moreover, Lillie knew very well that Lusamine wanted to use the Little Nebula for research experiments, which was why her father had disappeared, and she was really scared.

But does the fact that Rosamune can send her a letter through an outsider mean that Rosamune has actually found her?
"What should I do...?"

Lillie pressed her lips tightly together. She wanted to uncover the secrets of the little nebula, so she read through all sorts of ancient books, but it still wasn't enough.

So she wanted to explore the ancient ruins throughout Alora, believing that that would surely reveal the origins of Nebula.

But... it seems too late.

Lillie didn't know what to do; she was utterly lost.

"mo~mo~"

Just then, Lillie's bag was opened, and Nebula popped half of its body out, letting out a joyful cry.

"Little Nebula? Could it be..."

Seeing Nebula's appearance, Lillie was taken aback, then seemed to realize something, her expression a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Hey~ lovely lady, we meet again."

The familiar, gentle, and clear voice of a young boy reached her ears. Lillie turned her head, and sure enough, the boy from her memory came into view.

He walked out from under the shade of the trees, wearing a simple, colorful, fitted shirt and black trousers; he looked clean and handsome.

He was backlit, making it seem as if he was slowly walking out of the light. With his gentle smile, he was like a warm angel.

Lillie stared at the boy intently; he was still as handsome as ever.

"mo~!"

Unlike Lillie, Little Nebula didn't have as many inexplicable thoughts. She happily floated up to Mammon and circled around him.

"Are you that happy, little one?"

Mammon chuckled and reached out to catch Nebula, then took out a candy from his pocket, opened the wrapper, and fed it to Nebula.

The little nebula's eyes narrowed into slits, and it let out a satisfied murmur.

"As soon as you appeared, the little nebula seemed to come alive."

Lillie unconsciously smiled gently, her eyes fixed only on the boy in front of her and the little nebula in his hand.

Sure enough, that was exactly what she had been hoping for; she longed to meet this sunny and gentle boy again.

Fate is truly wondrous; in just two or three months, they met three times on their own.

This must be an inexplicable 'fate'.

"Ha~ I like this child very much too." Mammon rubbed Nebula's cheek, picked it up and sat down next to Lillie.

Of course I like Nebula, after all, this kid can evolve into the Sun and Moon God in the future.

I wonder what this little nebula will evolve into.
In the anime, Nebula evolves into Solgaleo, but in Evolution Kizuna, Nebula evolves into Lunala.

But it doesn't matter. The lion is majestic and powerful, while the bat is gorgeous and elegant. Both are very good. Mammon is not picky.

When a member of the opposite sex suddenly appeared so close to her, Lillie's pretty face blushed slightly, but she didn't sit far away.

Or rather... he smells really good.

Lillie's cute little nose twitched. It was the first time she had smelled the scent of a boy her age so closely, and her head felt a little dizzy.

She didn’t even know if it was just her imagination, but she smelled a scent similar to her mother’s, which made her feel very at ease.

If Mammon could hear what Lillie was thinking at that moment, he would just exclaim, "What the hell is that nose of Lillie's?"
He did go to Etherland to train Rosamine this morning, but he clearly took a shower. How could Lillie still smell it?

Of course, Mammon had no idea what Lillie was thinking. He fed Nebula another candy, which Nebula happily chewed.

"Speaking of which, this is our third meeting, isn't it? My lovely lady."

Mammon smiled warmly, his gaze shifting to Lillie. Lillie's face flushed even more.

"Please...please don't say things like 'cute'..."

The shy girl clutched her skirt tightly with her two small hands, her voice barely audible.

“But Miss is indeed very cute and beautiful.” Mammon tilted his head as if puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Lillie felt her face burning, and her heart pounding.

"Speaking of which, it is said that fate brings people together even from a thousand miles away. Our 'fate' seems to be quite deep, so let's formally introduce ourselves."

Seeing that Lillie was about to transform into a 'steam princess', Mammon smiled and didn't continue teasing the shy young lady, changing the subject.

“My name is Mammon, and I’m from the Kanto region. It’s nice to meet you.”

“I…I am Lillie.”

Lillie, suppressing her embarrassment, grasped Mammon's outstretched hand.

So warm...

Lillie's first reaction upon feeling the warmth of the boy's hand was exactly the same.

But soon, the etiquette she had learned since childhood made her take the initiative to let go of his hand, otherwise it would have been too impolite.

"Miss Lillie? That's a very nice name."

"Thank you."

Lillie carefully fanned her cheeks with her small hands, finally managing to lower the temperature on her face a little.

"I just saw the lovely Miss Lillie sitting here all alone from afar. Is something on your mind?"

Mammon teased Nebula's chin and asked Lillie.

Lillie was startled, then pursed her lips and lowered her head. So, her appearance had been seen. Oh, that makes sense...

"I'm sorry to have shown you such a disheveled state, Mr. Mammon."

"Oh? No need to apologize. Everyone has sad times, everyone in this world."

Mammon raised an eyebrow, leaned closer to Lillie's face, and spoke earnestly.

"Everyone has regrets and pasts they don't want to remember. That's perfectly normal. Who in the world can truly live a carefree life?"

Even the most carefree and seemingly cheerful optimists might be licking their wounds alone in the quiet of the night.

"Joy and sorrow are our most basic privileges as human beings, so even if we encounter painful and embarrassing setbacks and troubles, we should face them and overcome them, instead of sitting here alone feeling sad and upset."

Hearing Mammon's words, Lillie stared blankly at the boy so close to her, her clear, clean eyes reflecting his face, lost in thought.

He really...

"What's wrong, Lillie?"

After a long while, seeing that Lillie was just staring at him without saying a word, Mammon asked in confusion.

Hearing the sound, Lillie snapped out of her daze, and blush immediately crept onto her cheeks. She quickly looked away.

"I'm...sorry, I just spaced out again..." Lillie said softly.

"It's okay."

“Mr. Mammon, you are so gentle.”

"Huh? Lillie, what did you say?"

"Please don't mind me, I was just talking to myself."

The girl rubbed the strands of hair on the side of her face, embarrassed. What had she just blurted out?!

She suddenly understood why Meiyue always talked about how wonderful her boyfriend was.

OMG!

If such a gentle Mr. Mammon were my boyfriend... I would definitely be unable to resist showing him off to Mizuki every day.

P.S.: I'm torn between whether the little nebula is the moon or the sun; I like both the giant bat and the giant lion.
