Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 56 I hired a champion-level bodyguard

Although it was strange, it was just a fleeting thought.

The atmosphere inside the mansion was very quiet at the moment. Lusamine placed the teacup on the coffee table and looked at Lillie with an indifferent yet complicated gaze.

"sit down."

The authoritative voice, which conveyed no particular meaning, made Lillie tremble slightly, but she still slowly walked over and sat down opposite Lusamine.

However, because of her fear of Lusamine, Lillie gripped her skirt tightly with both hands and dared not raise her head to meet Lusamine's gaze.

Time slipped away second by second, and Lusamine, who had been quietly waiting for Lillie to speak, gradually turned cold, her eyes filled with disappointment in Lillie.

"Since you've taken the initiative to come back, you must have been prepared, right? So what's with this weak and helpless look on your face?"

Lusamine's cold voice slowly rose.

"It's really disheartening, Lillie. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Lillie's delicate body trembled, but she still dared not meet Lusamine's gaze.

"I love you all so deeply, I've poured so much love into you." Lusamine's voice gradually turned angry, and her pupils lost their luster.

"But you betrayed me!!!"

Yes, that's what Lusamine thinks.

She loved her children so deeply, but they, her closest family members, betrayed her.

Not only did they escape, but they also took away such important attributes: Sky and Cosmog! How infuriating... this is!

"No...it's not..."

"Lillie, the child who didn't accept my love and left me, you..."

"not like this!"

The girl's stubborn voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Lusamine's words.

Lusamine looked at Lillie with some surprise. This was the first time Lillie had spoken to her so loudly, and the first time she had interrupted her speech.

"My mother always talks to herself like this! Why has my mother become like this?"

Lillie bit her lip and raised her head, her red-rimmed eyes bravely meeting Lusamine's gaze.

"you……"

"Our mother used to be so gentle, and my brother and I both loved her the most!"

Lusamine was taken aback by what she heard and stared blankly at Lillie.

"But ever since Dad disappeared, Mom has changed. Why? She doesn't consider my brother and me, and just imposes her own ideas on us without caring whether we are happy or not!"

"My beloved mother is definitely not like that!"

As if to vent her emotions, the girl used all her strength to shout out her innermost feelings.

Large tears slid down the girl's cheeks.

"And Mother is doing such dangerous things. Father disappeared in the same way, but Mother still wants to do it."

"If...if Mother disappears like Father, what will my brother and I do? We...we don't want to lose Mother again...sob..."

As she spoke, Lillie finally couldn't hold back her sobs and burst into tears.

These words had been weighing on her heart for a very long time, like a mountain pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Seeing Lillie break down in tears, her emotions overflowing, Lusamine was lost in thought.

She never expected that Lillie would think this way, and an indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.

The atmosphere fell silent again, broken only by Lillie's barely suppressed sobs.

She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it; she simply couldn't stop the tears.

At that moment, a warm hand rested on her back, gently comforting her.

Lillie opened her tear-filled eyes and saw Lusamine, but Lusamine no longer had that cold expression; instead, she was full of gentleness.

"My Lillie, even though you've grown up, you're still a child after all." The gentle voice from her mother stirred Lillie's emotions once again, and she threw herself into Lusamine's arms.

The mother she remembered had finally returned.

"Mother!"

"Ah~ Mother is here. I'm so sorry, Lillie, for making you suffer so much."

Lusamine hugged her daughter, her voice filled with guilt reaching Lillie's ears.

Why didn't we pay attention to Lillie's feelings before?

Rosamina hugged Lillie tightly, feeling sorry for her, and for the first time reflected on whether her love for her children was correct.

Looking back now, it seems that because of my desire for Ultra Beasts, I did neglect to learn more about Lillie.

Rosamune truly loves her children, but she had never thought about understanding their thoughts before, stubbornly believing that as long as the children listened to her, that was enough.

However, Lillie's outpouring this time also made her understand Lillie's thoughts.

The mother and daughter reconciled and naturally had a lot to say to each other, so they sat down on the sofa again.

Lillie chatted with Lusamine about her experiences after leaving the Etherland, and Lusamine listened attentively, occasionally offering her own insights.

The atmosphere was wonderful for a moment, and then...

"Mother, have you not given up on that plan yet?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lillie mustered up her courage and asked Lusamine.

"The Ultimate Hole?" Lusamine asked.

"Yes, Mother, that's really too dangerous, please don't..."

“Lillie, although your mother longs to give you the answer you want, I cannot lie to you,” Lusamine sighed.

"We cannot abandon our research on the Ultimate Hole."

"Why? Ultra Beasts are far too dangerous, you should know that," Lillie said anxiously.

“Yes, but that’s precisely why we can’t stop,” Lusamine said solemnly.

Lilia was stunned.

“Lillie, researching Ultra Void isn’t just for my own sake. For the whole of Alola, the threat of Ultra Beasts is real.”

Do you know why we in Alola have never established a Pokémon League?

Lillie frowned; she understood what Lusamine meant. She had always been an incredibly intelligent girl.

“Dr. Kukui has been working hard to establish the Alola League, but it’s all in vain because the fundamental problems of Alola haven’t been solved,” Lusamine said, shaking her head.

"Because of Ultra Beasts..."

"That's right, it's because of Ultra Beasts. Do you know the Island King, Mordan? Before becoming the Island King, he was one of the Interpol agents sent by the Pokémon League to Alola to investigate Ultra Beasts."

Lusamine revealed this secret.

"But during one mission, it failed and one of the mission members was killed. The cause of death was the work of an Ultra Beast, Gluttony."

"If we don't investigate and identify Ultra Beasts, the Alola League will never be able to be established, and Alola will never be able to hold its head high in front of any other region."

Upon hearing this, Lillie bit her lip. She was not an immature child, and faced with such a major event concerning the entire Alola region, she could not bring herself to say something as willful as telling Lusamine not to get involved.

"Don't worry, Lillie, I know what you're worried about, but I'm well prepared. I've even hired a powerful champion-level trainer as a backup."

Lusamine lovingly stroked Lillie's soft face.

"Champion-level trainer?" Lillie was surprised. Even she understood the significance of the title "Champion-level trainer".

"That's right, he's really amazing."

There was something complicated in the depths of Rosamund's eyes.

But Lillie clearly didn't grasp the deeper meaning behind her mother's words.

P.S.: The Alola arc is nearing its end. Also, it's the end of the month, so please give me some monthly votes!
