Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

"Jiang Cheng, come with me." While Mamane and the people from the Aether Foundation were surrounding Kaguya Tetsuka, Lusamine came to Jiang Cheng and greeted him quietly.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly followed, and the two of them left the crowd calmly.

"I checked what you told me...it's true...Zaobota concealed the fact that Liliae was attacked."

When Lusamine said this, her whole body was almost shaking.

It is hard to describe her feelings when she confirmed the news. For decades, her two children had drifted away from her. She thought it was because the children had grown up. After losing her husband and her children becoming distant from her, she could only bury herself in work to make herself less miserable. Now it seems that everything she did was just... asshole...

It was I who pushed my son and daughter away from me, and I deceived myself into thinking that it was the children's problem.

"I am...the worst mother ever..."

"This is wrong"

"When Lillie talked to me about her mother, she sounded distressed and complained about why her mother refused to treat her as an adult and always ignored her opinions. However, the respect and love hidden in her words were real. Your child is still full of love for you. If you can do this, you are far from being a bad mother."

"But I did this..."

"It has already happened. There is no point dwelling on failure. We in Donghuang have an old proverb: It is never too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost. The terrible thing is never making a mistake, but having the determination to correct it after making it."

Lusamine seemed to be hit by something and stood there in a daze: "You're right... I should go and apologize to Liliae and the others immediately."

"By the way, there is always work to be done. There are always more important things in the world than work, right? When we can't recover what we have lost, we can only protect what is left."

"You little guy, you are so young, but why do you act so old-fashioned and have so many reasons?" Perhaps it was because she was an adult and was embarrassed to be lectured by a child, so Lusamine held Jiang Cheng in her arms and rubbed his cheeks fiercely.

Jiang Cheng was caught off guard and surrounded by a faint fragrance and softness, so much so that he didn't know how to respond when the other person rubbed his face with cold hands.

He was stunned for a while, and after being rubbed several times, he finally reacted and struggled to get away. Why are all you people in the Ether Foundation like this? You use this to test the cadres?

After tidying up his clothes, mainly pulling his pants to adjust his trajectory, Jiang Chengcai said to Lusamine solemnly: "It doesn't matter if you do this to me, but when you see Lilia, don't do the same to her. You must remember this."

Lusamine was stunned for a moment: "Hey, we used to play like this when we were kids."

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head helplessly: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. During the time you devoted yourself to work, Liliae has grown from a five-year-old child to eleven years old. In Kanto, she is already old enough to go out and travel as a trainer and be independent."

"Although the child looks weak, she is actually very strong inside. She has a strong character and always longs to be recognized and acknowledged by others. You have been looking at her as a child, so she will naturally reject you."

"Is...really really like this?" Lusamine was stunned. She never expected that there would be such a reason.

"You really don't care enough about your family, Ms. Lusamine... There is always work to be done. I think you should think carefully about what things in life must be maintained and what things can be achieved slowly. Every child will grow up slowly, and during this period, they are also the most sensitive."

"I am indeed an incompetent mother... I know Liliae less than you do, even though you have only been with her for a month."

Lusamine felt a sense of failure for no reason: she didn't even have a child and didn't know how to take care of one. She should be the one taking care of two children at the age of 38, but now...

After discovering her mistakes one after another, Lusamine was already a little panicked. If it was related to other things, then Lusamine would definitely not be so out of control, but when it came to her own child, she couldn't treat it normally: "Then...what should I do now? I...I still want to bring a gift to apologize to Liliae, can I still give it to her?"

You're asking me?

Jiang Chengdu was speechless. You really are as saintly as ever. What have you been doing in the past few decades?

"As her mother, I think Lilia will treasure everything you give her, but at this stage, I think the most appropriate gift should be an elf egg."

"Elf's egg?" Lusamine had never expected this answer.

"Yes, Lillie's rejection of Pokémon stems from the knot in her heart after being attacked. One of the roots of the knot is you. If you can apologize and reconcile with her, then half of the problem will be solved. The remaining half depends on her herself."

"A Pokémon egg can allow her to slowly let go of her guard against Pokémon while taking care of a new life. The process of raising a new life can also allow her to truly feel that she is an adult and that she is growing up. Isn't that great?"

"not to mention...."

"When a new life is born, it also means that your family is reborn, doesn't it?"

Chapter 153: Mother and Daughter Reunited

After a conversation with Jiang Cheng, Lusamine seemed to have been enlightened, and her Ren and Du meridians were forcibly opened. Her whole train of thought was suddenly clear, just like after being constipated for three days and ordering a bowl of Wallace.

"I'm going to apologize to Liliae right now." She couldn't wait any longer. After realizing her mistake, her mind was now full of thoughts on making up for it and apologizing to her child.

Seeing Lusamine like this, Jiang Cheng nodded with relief, with a feeling like, "Fool, you finally got it."

"Please arrange two of the fastest Dragonites for me. I'm going to Ula'la Island." Lusamine immediately started giving orders through her headset. She was eager to go home and didn't want to wait even a second longer.

"Okay, I'll help you. I'll arrange it. Do you want to use it now? You have an important meeting in 15 minutes..."

"Tell them the meeting is cancelled and I'll talk to them when I get back. Find me another elf egg. The higher the quality, the better!"

Jiang Cheng was right, there were some things in life that were the most important. Screw work and the like, the most important thing now was to see his precious daughter.

"Huh?" The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect to hear such words from the workaholic Ms. Lusamine, which made her pinch her thigh in doubt for a moment to make sure she was not dreaming.

"Okay...Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away." Although they were confused, the leader's order was absolute. The staff quickly began to dispatch them, and it didn't take long before the two Dragonites were arranged to the launch site.

This is the strength of the Ether Foundation! Dragonite, which is extremely precious in the outside world, is arranged as soon as it is said. In the Ultimate Defense Team, except for some Pokémon that were inherited from their elders, almost everyone has a Quasi-God.

The elf eggs that Lusamine wanted were also placed in a portable incubator and brought over directly.

Lusamine got on Dragonite's back and said, "Sorry, Jiang Cheng, I may have to ask you to accompany me again this time. I am a failed mother and don't know how to get along with my children. I need your help."

In just one short contact, Jiang Cheng's performance has left Lusamine with the impression that he is an expert in taking care of children. With such a person around, Lusamine would feel much more at ease.

Because we care too much, we are afraid of making mistakes.

"With pleasure, my friend..." Jiang Cheng glanced at Mamane not far away.

"Oh yes, your friend, I will send someone to bring him back after he finishes spending time with Kaguya Tiehui."

"That's no problem, let's go"

"Oh, right." Lusamine seemed to suddenly remember something and pressed the headset: "Suspend Zaobo and lock him up temporarily. I will investigate him when I come back."

“Okay... okay..." The staff over there was a little shocked. He had never heard Ms. Lusamine speak of Dr. Zaobo in such a tone. Normally, she was always respectful to him. Now, not only did she call him by his name, she also wanted to lock him up... It seemed that something big was going to happen to the Ether Foundation.

Dragonite's speed is truly unparalleled. It's really thrilling to fly around the earth in 16 hours. With Lusamine eager to return home, it's even faster. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had experienced the baptism of Land Shark before, so this kind of high-speed flight is a piece of cake for him.

In almost the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the hot spring hotel.

Two Dragonites landed on the ground. Liliae, who was inside the house, heard the voices and came out to greet them: "Jiang Cheng, are you back? So soon, I thought you were going to stay a little longer..."

Lilia was stunned in the middle of her words. She saw the person in the yard whom she had never thought she would meet again.

"Lillie..." Lusamine took a step forward. All the words she had prepared on the way to the destination were stuck in her chest when she saw her child. She couldn't say a word.

Lilia turned her head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Liliae knew what was going to happen next. In the next second, her mother would pounce on her like a teddy bear that saw an enemy, then hug her in her arms and rub her madly, making her lose face in front of her friends. This happened almost every time they met before, and this time would be no exception.

Sure enough, she came over, with the familiar running, the familiar hug, and the familiar crazy rubbing...Huh?

A tear fell on her face, catching Liliae off guard.

What happened? Why did the process change?

Mother...is crying?

Liliae was panicking now. In her impression, her mother had always been so strong. After her father disappeared, she supported the family alone. The mother in her memory seemed to always be full of smiles, full of energy, and made decisions in moderation. She had never thought that the mother who seemed to be omnipotent would actually cry.

"I'm sorry... Lilia... I'm sorry, I didn't know... I didn't know... I'm sorry my child."

Lusamine hugged Liliae and cried. Whenever she thought about the despair of her child being attacked by an Ultra Beast and wanting to seek comfort from her but unable to find her, and the only relative she could rely on not taking it seriously at all, her heart felt like it was about to be broken.

That was her beloved little princess, but she was hurt like this because of her.

With just one sentence, Liliae knew what her mother was apologizing for.

Lilia didn't cry after being attacked. She didn't cry when she was alone. She didn't cry when she escaped from the Aether Foundation and lived on the streets. She felt that she was strong enough.

However, the mother's tears seemed to turn on a switch in her heart, causing her emotions to flow like water, no longer under control.

Liliae also started to cry, and her tears got louder and louder. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried in the yard.

The commotion here even attracted the surrounding neighbors, who wanted to see if Jiang Cheng had hit the challenging trainer too hard and made him cry again. This kind of thing had happened before.

Jiang Cheng could only smile bitterly and go forward to persuade the neighbors to leave, saying only that it was a mother-daughter reunion and that he was a little emotional.

Leaning against the door, looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Zhen Yifa was a little puzzled: "Fa" "What are they doing?"

“They are reuniting”

“Fa ah” Why do we cry when we reunite?

“Because they have been apart for too long.”

“Send it” then I won’t cry.

"Zhen Yifa is so powerful and strong, and has so many magical powers, so of course he won't cry."

"Fa ah" because we will not tell them apart, Master Zhenyi Fa will follow you.

This time, it was Jiang Cheng who was stunned.

Chapter 154: Clues are getting brighter and brighter

The reunion between mother and daughter is always touching. Lusamine began to apologize to Liliae, and the mother and daughter began to communicate formally, saying out loud together the words that they had never said before and had kept in their hearts.

The feeling he had when he was attacked, the helplessness he felt when he wanted to find his mother but found that she had no reaction, the helplessness and anger he felt when his beloved Pipi was evolved into Picoxi by his mother without his permission.

Lillie poured out all the grievances she had suffered over the years, and Lusamine, who found out that she had done so many wrong things, was naturally sad and began to hug her daughter and apologize continuously. The mother and daughter cried together again.

Jiang Cheng felt a little emotional. The difference between Lusamine in his world and the game version was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

One of them apologized to his children and sought their forgiveness after a misunderstanding, while the other was full of fatherly spirit and believed that children should listen to adults obediently. How can your mother harm you? When it comes to educating children, they have a strong sense of déjà vu.

Under the banner of doing it for your own good, they do all kinds of things to deprive you of your freedom and your choices.

All I can say is that the next step for Lusamine in the game is to rule that Liliae is not allowed to come to the table.

Jiang Cheng quietly left from the side and entered the kitchen. It seemed that this touching mother-daughter reunion scene would continue for a while, so it was important for him to make something delicious and replenish his energy.

After pouring vegetable oil into the pot and taking out some side dishes, Jiang Cheng turned on the gas stove and lit the fire.

Just as I turned around to cut vegetables, I found Erguiyan standing aside, looking at the burning fire, seeming a little lost.

Jiang Cheng paused and turned off the fire again: "Oh, I accidentally turned off the fire. Can you help me turn on the fire? I need to cut vegetables now and I don't have time to do it."

"Boniao!" Little E'guiyan agreed happily, turned on the stove, and the flame ignited with a light touch of the sword in his hand.

"Bonnie!"

"Wow, that's amazing! He actually came up with the genius idea of ​​using his fire-attributed thorn vine stick to start a fire. He is really smart."

"Boni!" The little guy became happy again.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, time passed quietly.

I wouldn’t trade this kind of life for the chairmanship of the Ethereum Foundation.

.......

"According to what you said, the traditional myths of Kitakami Township have always been wrong. Is that what you mean?"

In a house in Beishang Township, Zhulan is talking face to face with an old man.

"Yes..." The old man nodded ashamedly: "The evil ghost is not as the legend says, it is an irredeemable evil Pokémon. It is just punishing the three guys who stole its mask and hurt its companions."

"Why not just point it out?"

"You don't know that the tourism industry in Kitakami Township all relies on this legend. After my ancestor discovered this, he once called on the village to be ordinary for the evil ghosts, but in response he was persecuted harshly. So, we dare not talk about it anymore. Now, the evil ghosts and masks have all been taken away by Team Rocket, and the conditions for holding the Mask Festival have almost disappeared. Even if I tell you here, there will be no problem."

"I see." Zhulan nodded to show her understanding. What the other party did was just a choice made by an ordinary person to protect himself. There was nothing to blame.

"By the way, do you still have the contact information of your two children? I think they also went to the scene at that time. I have some questions for them."

"Of course, of course, just ask whatever you want." Faced with the question from a champion, the old man immediately nodded in agreement, although there would be no problem even if he refused.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? I'm still in class here." After dialing Danyu's number, Danyu subconsciously spoke to her grandfather in the Beishang Township accent.

"Danyu, the Sirona champion has come to Beishang Township to investigate the matter of the former Team Rocket trainer."

"Really? The Sirona Champion? I really want to meet her... but the summer camp is over..."

"It doesn't matter. If we are destined to meet, we will definitely meet again." Sirona's voice suddenly interrupted, startling Danyu who was on the phone.

"Hey...Hey hey!!? Xi...Xirona Champion! How could you..."

The idol in her heart suddenly appeared in front of her, and Danyu was so surprised that her jaw dropped.

"I'm here to investigate the trainer of Team Rocket. By chance, while investigating the myth of Kitakami Township, I learned about your family. I also learned about the true history of Kitakami Township from my grandfather. I want to hear your opinion on that evil spirit."
