Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 99 I have Articuno, so it's alright.

Gushin pondered how to properly capture Nebula. Although Nebula wasn't Lillie's Pokémon, it was a friend she valued highly.

Moreover, figuring out the origins of Little Nebula is her only goal right now.

"mo~mo~"

With a soft, innocent chirp, Little Nebula emerged from Lillie's handbag and drifted leisurely toward Gushin.

"Huh? Little Nebula?" Lillie was taken aback.

"Is this Lillie's Pokémon? I've never seen it before."

Eileen looked at the little creature, which resembled a nebula, with a strange expression. It was circling around Guxin, a very cute action.

Eileen took out the encyclopedia and pointed it at the little nebula.

It has a nebula-like shape, and the gas that makes up its body ranges in color from purple to light blue. It has pale yellow beady eyes, round blue cheeks, and a golden semi-circular hook inlaid in the center of its body.

Irene had never heard of such an elf before, nor did she seem to have seen it in the official encyclopedia.

No data available.

Sure enough, such words appeared on the encyclopedia.

"Nebula isn't my Pokémon, it's my friend. Nebula, don't do this, it'll only bother your brother Guxin."

Lillie spoke to Irene, then looked apologetically at Guxin and said to Nebula.

Nebula's curious nature often gives Lillie a headache.

But this was the first time she had ever seen Little Nebula so interested in someone, actually circling around Brother Gu Xin the whole time, which was really strange.

"It's okay, Lillie, this little guy is cute."

Gu Xin replied with a smile, extending his palm, which glowed with green light. Little Nebula blinked its beady eyes and then landed on Gu Xin's palm.

"This is?"

Lillie was taken aback.

Putting aside why Little Nebula is so well-behaved, what about the green light in Brother Gu Xin's hand?

"Brother Guxin, are you a power user?"

Lillie suddenly thought of this and asked curiously.

Just as there are individuals with unusual colors among elves, there are also many unusual individuals among humans.

These people are collectively called ability users, and the most common ability users are superpower users. There are many superpower users, and the only difference is the strength of their superpowers.

"Yes, Gushin possesses the power of Viridian, a natural blessing, which makes it easy for Gushin to gain the favor of Pokémon."

Eileen smiled faintly and replied on behalf of Guxin, her tone subtly tinged with pride.

"The power of Tokiwa is an extremely rare ability. Currently, the only people known to possess it are Gushin and the current Kanto Champion, Lance."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Lillie gasped, covering her mouth in astonishment, "A power user!"

"mo~momo~"

Little Nebula squinted its eyes, its melodious and adorable chirping conveying comfort, as Guxin gently rubbed its chin with his fingertips, a faint green light shimmering within.

"Okay, okay, I'll pat you, I'll pat you."

Gu Xin couldn't help but smile and gently rubbed Little Nebula's cheek.

"Brother, Little Nebula seems to really like you."

Lillie watched this scene with wonder. It had been a month since she brought Nebula out of Etherland, but she had never seen Nebula so happy.

"The power of Viridian is a gift from nature. Pokémon are all close to nature, and almost no Pokémon can resist this power," Gushin explained gently.

So even without the system, he could have done very well in this world with the power of Eternal Life; it's just that having a cheat code made it even better.

"mo~"

"Okay, let me touch it, little one, try this."

Seeing that Gu Xin wasn't touching him anymore, Little Nebula quickly rubbed against Gu Xin's palm and acted cute.

Gu Xin was a little amused and exasperated, then took out some candy snacks and started playing a little feeding game.

"Mo~!" Little Nebula opened its mouth and swallowed, its bean-like eyes instantly turning into starry eyes.

"Speaking of which, Lillie, is your Pokémon called Nebula?" Irene asked Lillie curiously.

"Yes, that's actually the name I gave it..." Lillie pursed her lips and hesitated before replying.

"Little Nebula is very mysterious. I've been searching for information about Little Nebula," Lillie said softly. Actually, she knew Little Nebula's real name, but it was what her mother had told her.

To escape Lusamine, Lillie gave Cosmog the very descriptive name "Little Nebula," and it was Cosmog who helped her escape from the Aether.

Lillie has always wanted to uncover the secrets of Nebula, so she has read many books about the secret history of Alola and various ancient events.

Unfortunately, there was still no gain.

"Oh, oh." Eileen realized that Lillie was hiding something, after all, Lillie wasn't a girl who was good at lying.

But since Lillie is unwilling to say, there's no need to force her to ask; after all, they've only just met.

"This child's appearance reminds me of some historical biographies of Alora that I've read," Gushin murmured.

"Brother Guxin, do you know? Really?"

Upon hearing this, Lillie became somewhat excited and spoke to Guxin, wanting to investigate the origins and secrets of Little Nebula and to help it.

"I've been very interested in legends and stories from different regions since I was a child, so I know a lot about them, although I don't know if they're accurate or not."

Guxin smiled and nodded, then looked down at the cute and innocent little nebula.

"If I'm not mistaken, this unique appearance should be that of the Cosmog, which was known as the 'Child of the Stars' in ancient times."

Cosmogu!

Lillie's delicate face changed slightly; Gushin actually knew Cosmog!

This is something only Mother Lusamine knows, and the reason she knows this name is because that's what Lusamine calls Nebula.

"Cosmog is an extremely rare Pokémon. In the Alola region, only the King of Alola and his successor know of the existence of the 'Star Child'."

Gu Xin began to speak slowly.

Is it only the Alora royal family that knows about the Minor Nebula?

Upon hearing this, Lillie and Irene were taken aback. This little guy is actually so amazing?

"Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem, which was called 'Star Cocoon' in ancient times. The king of Alola built an altar out of worship for Star Cocoon. Offering the beautiful music played by the Sun Flute or Moon Flute to Star Cocoon on the altar would start a certain ritual."

Guxin recalled the memories in his mind, then looked at Lillie and asked with a smile.

"Lillie, as a native of Alola, you should know about the existence of those two altars."

"Brother, you mean...?"

Lillie was startled, her pretty face scrunched up as she searched through her memories. Finally, she confirmed it and looked at Guxin in astonishment.

"The Sun Wheel Altar and the Moon Wheel Altar?"

The ancient altars, the Sun and Moon, are located in the Poni Canyon on Poni Island, one of the oldest and most important historical sites in the Alora region.

But in reality, the Alolaians of today have no idea what the purpose of these two altars is, or what Pokémon they were used to worship.

"But if I remember correctly, the Sun Altar and the Moon Altar are said to be altars deeply connected to the legacy of legendary Pokémon..."

As she spoke, Lillie seemed to understand something. Looking at Nebula, who was happily eating candy in Gusin's palm, her clean and clear eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She now understood perfectly well that Nebula was the legendary creature worshipped by the ancient Alola royal family! No, or rather, the juvenile form of that legend?

"Yes, of course there is a deep connection."

Gushin lifted up the Cosmog named Little Nebula.

"Because Melo offered the Sun Flute to the Star Cocoon at the Sun Altar, the Star Cocoon will evolve into Solgaleo, known as the 'Beast That Devours the Sun'."

"Melan, who uses the Moon Flute at the Moon Altar, will evolve into Lunala, who is known as the 'Beast that Invites the Moon'."

"Lillie, do you understand now? If all the legends are true, just how special is this child?"

Eileen was somewhat bewildered, but Lillie's pupils dilated, her mind went blank, and she was momentarily stunned.

It's not surprising that Erin, as a reclusive queen who lives in Kanto, wouldn't know the legends of the Alola region.

The legendary Lunala and Solgaleo hold a position in Alola no less significant than Ho-Oh and Lugia are to the Kanto region!

They are legendary Pokémon that are more powerful and noble than the guardian deities of the four islands of Alola, as recorded in Alola historical documents.

Lunala and Solgaleo came to Alola from another dimension in ancient times. They once engaged in a fierce battle with the Capo Guardians, but in the end, they made the island guardians submit and granted them the power of the Guardians Z!

"this……"

Coming to her senses, Lillie pursed her lips and gazed at the little nebula in silence.

She now roughly understands why her biological mother, Rosamund, used the little nebula for her experiments.

If what Gushin said is true, then as Lunala's (Solgaleo's) larva, Nebula would certainly also have the ability to open the Ultimate Space.

According to legend, the sun god and the moon god originally came from other dimensions, presumably the ultimate dimension.

But how can this be? Ultra Beasts are so dangerous.

"Don't overthink it, Lillie. Even if the legend is true, you should be happy. Nebula is your friend, isn't she?"

Seeing that his adopted sister looked preoccupied, Gu Xin gently comforted her.

Telling Lillie about Nebula's origins was also to prevent her from running around searching for ruins later in order to uncover the truth about Nebula.

Mizuki is still an apprentice under him, and it would be bad if Lillie continued to run around and get into danger.

"I understand, thank you, brother."

Lillie nodded upon hearing this, thanked Guxin, and made up her mind.

Yes, if this is the true origin of Little Nebula, then she must protect Little Nebula even more and never let her mother take Little Nebula away!

But I'm not a trainer... Should I ask my brother for help?

Lillie pondered in her little head, "Brother Gladion... never mind, Brother Gladion is probably in a precarious situation now, just like she was before."

No, Gladion is probably in a worse situation than her, right? At least she has godparents to take care of her, so she should find a chance to ask Guxin. Besides, Nebula seems to like Guxin a lot too.

As for Gladion, all I can do is wish him good luck. But Gladion has been so outstanding since he was a child, so he should be fine.

Lillie silently cheered for her older brother Void, while she ran away with Nebula. Gladion ran away with his attribute: Void. It would be strange if their mother wasn't angry.

"There's no need to be so polite since we're family. Speaking of which, Lillie, shall we go to the Hoenn region together tomorrow?"

"Yes, my godmother said she would take me to see Meteor Village, and she also said that Sister Higana will be in the tribe tomorrow, so it's perfect timing for us to go back this time."

Lillie replied obediently.

"By the way, Brother Guxin, my godfather told the elder last night that you are very strong now and are one of the top gym leaders in the Kanto region. The elder is very happy."

"Then the elder said he wanted you to have a match with that successor, Sister Xijiana, and your godfather agreed on your behalf."

Lillie touched her fair chin, her bright eyes holding a hint of mischief.

"Hehehe... I really thank him."

Gu Xin's eyelids twitched wildly, and he couldn't help but chuckle dryly.

That shameless old man!

The inheritor, Higanbana, is a genuine Dragon-type Champion-level Trainer in the game!

In the official short anime "Pokémon Evolution" episode "Wish", Cyndaquil's Mega Salamence was even able to go toe-to-toe with May's newly caught Rayquaza, demonstrating its formidable strength.

Is Old Deng really not afraid of getting crushed by Higanbana?

Oh, I have Articuno. That's alright then.
