Pokémon from Galar

"Hello, I'm Lila from Interpol, in charge of the Ultra Beasts case. I'd like to ask you for some information, is that alright?"

Image: "Lila", Location: "Images/1591621168-100143709-105450393.jpg"

"Oh, sure, I have no objection. However, the information I've gathered is limited and cannot solve the actual problem. Please don't have too high expectations; today's events are just a coincidence."

Mary looked intently at Lila in front of her. She did know some things, but these things couldn't directly and effectively solve the current problem of Ultra Beasts. She didn't want anyone to misunderstand Ultra Beasts because of what happened today, leading to innocent sacrifices.

Lila looked into Mary's eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly nodded, accepting Mary's explanation.

"Why don't you come to my house then? Miss Biko, would you like to come?"

Meiyue clapped her hands, stepped forward, and extended an invitation to Miss Biko, who hadn't had a chance to speak yet.

"Well then, I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Miss Biko rested her face on one hand, revealing her signature smile.

P.S.: Speaking of which, the research on Lila really surprised me. And she's really handsome in Sun & Moon, so incredibly masculine!

Chapter 148 Z-Bracelet and Ultimate Investigation Team

Just as Mary said, the information obtained through the Explosive Mosquitoes cannot help them solve the current situation, but it is very useful for Miss Biko, since the Ether Foundation is mainly focused on research.

Furthermore, Mary's retelling also involved the Radiant God, Necrozma.

In any case, Miss Bee recorded Mary's remarks in great detail, seemingly intending to conduct in-depth research. Moreover, just like Miss Bee from the original world, Miss Bee here also recognized Mary's abilities at a glance and wanted to have Mary work for the Ether Foundation.

However, considering Mary's identity, this idea ultimately could not be realized.

Miss Biko and her entourage left first. After all, the chairman and the two heirs were not around, and the entire Ether Foundation needed her to take care of it. Although she wasn't so busy that she didn't have time to catch her breath, she certainly didn't have much time to rest.

However, the two Interpol agents did not immediately leave. Lila stood in front of Mary, looking down directly into Mary's eyes:

"You shouldn't get involved in Ultra Beast matters, and don't run around alone. Even if you were lucky this time, you might not encounter such a reasonable Ultra Beast next time."

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility for my actions."

Mary wasn't a talkative person either. When faced with Lila, who also had a cold expression, she quickly brought the atmosphere to a freezing point with just a few words.

“Ahem… Well, what Lila meant was that she didn’t want Miss Mary to continue getting involved in dangerous things. You’re just a civilian, and you don’t need to do these things.”

The handsome man coughed twice and stepped between the two, effectively separating their gazes. Mary nodded slightly; she could tell that Lila simply wanted to avoid any trouble for herself.

But now that I'm in Fall, there are some things I can't avoid by just hiding. No matter how strong Mizuki is, she can't protect me 24/7.

"Oh, right, Mary! Let me take you to the restaurant. I haven't eaten the lunch I made for you yet, I'm starving!"

Following the handsome man's words, Miyuki pushed Mary away from the living room, forcibly separating the two of them.

Mary sighed softly, thought for a moment, and then explained:

"I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position. Could you please apologize to Officer Lila for me after this?"

"Haha~ It's okay, it's okay. You should eat quickly instead. You must be hungry after all this fuss."

"Thank you."

Mari picked up her bowl and chopsticks, then watched as Mizuki turned around to prepare food for the Pokémon. During this time, the handsome guy came in and said goodbye to Mizuki, and Mari apologized again, saying that she could have handled things better earlier.

After preparing lunch for over a dozen Pokémon, Mizuki sat down next to Marie and said with a smile:

"Actually, I can tell that you just don't want to cause too much trouble, right, Mary? I take back what I said to you the first time. Starting tomorrow, Mary, will you help me deal with the Ultra Beasts? Your ability to communicate with them will allow you to obtain a lot of information, and Miss Bee will be very happy."

"...Yes, that's what I'm planning to do too."

"Then it's settled. As for the reward, I can decide to give you a Radiant Stone."

"Huh?!"

Mary looked up at Mizuki in surprise, only to be met with her radiant smile.

"Don't be surprised. Your abilities are very useful for the research on Ultra Beasts. If needed, I might even travel to another world to ask for your help in the future. I think it's worth it to give you a Shining Stone."

"No... but, never mind, you're the champion, you get to decide..."

Mary opened her mouth, thought about it, and finally gave up complaining. If it were any other reward, Mary might have refused, but something like a Radiant Stone... she really couldn't bear to miss it, otherwise who knows when she would encounter it again.

"Hehehe~ Tomorrow I'll take you to the King of the Island to get a bracelet."

"Is it possible...? Would the King of the Island agree?"

"Don't underestimate me. I'm the champion of the Alola region, after all. It's not a big problem for me to just want a Z-Ring, especially since you already have two Z-Crystals, one of which is a Dragon type."

……

In the wilderness, where the burr mosquitoes had just appeared, four figures dressed in strange blue and white jumpsuits and wearing odd helmets appeared.

"You all saw what just happened, right? The so-called champion Pokémon here, and those two so-called overlord Pokémon controlled by humans."

A leader with a small mustache, who looked quite old, suddenly spoke up.

"Should we ask them for help? But one of them doesn't look too good, and that kind of aura isn't very effective."

Another young man, with one hand on his hip, expressed his thoughts: their aura was completely useless against the target they wanted to deal with.

"That's not the point, Dals. The fact that the girl was able to calm down the Ultra Beast is itself a noteworthy target. That ability might come in handy at a crucial moment."

The mature woman with long, flowing blue hair refuted the young man's statement. They couldn't hear the specifics of their conversation due to the distance, but perhaps her reassuring words could be helpful. At least, that's what the woman thought.

“…You’re right, Mi Ling. I was so busy watching Pokémon.”

Darss shrugged, clearly agreeing with his companion's idea; more strength meant more hope, and he naturally understood this principle.

“I said, instead of discussing this here, why don’t we go and talk to them directly? They’re obviously dealing with Ultra Beasts, and we can offer some help.”

The smallest girl, with a childlike build and orange braids, raised her hand and shared her thoughts. They had only been here a short time, but had already gathered a lot of information.

For example, Mizuki, Alola's strongest trainer, and the Aether Foundation, an organization that researches Ultra Holes and Ultra Beasts.

These are all people we need to contact. Today, we just happened to witness what happened, which caught their attention. No one expected that after encountering an Ultra Beast, we could avoid a fight and resolve the issue peacefully.

This undoubtedly led them to include Mary in their list of those seeking help.

“Let’s do as Amam said. Dars, you and I will go and contact the Ether Foundation. Miling, you and Amam will go and contact those two girls.”

After a moment's thought, the leader made a decision. Although they still had time, they wanted to be as quick as possible, as their world was waiting for their good news.

"Yes!" x3

The other three had no objections and quickly split into two groups, each heading towards their own destination.

Chapter 149 Lillie is about to return

Marie is unaware of the Ultimate Investigation Team's situation for the time being, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't say anything. She'll only do what she's capable of, and Marie is quite aware of her own abilities. Getting involved with Ultra Beasts is no problem for her; she's strong enough.

However, when faced with legendary Pokémon, especially those like Necrozma that seem to be on par with Arceus, Marnie knew her limitations. At least at her current level, she was simply not up to the task.

What Mary is most concerned about right now is her Z-Bracelet. In front of Mary, Mizuki practiced the Island King technique of Melemele Island and got a positive answer without much explanation.

Surrounded by her Pokémon for the first time in a long time, Marie lay in bed, burying half her cheek in Ichigo's fur. The events of the past few days had been like a rollercoaster ride, with a hint of good fortune in them.

Not only did it leave no irreparable wounds, but it also granted Ichigo and Pazu a domineering aura, and Mari herself was about to obtain the Z-Bracelet. These were things Mari had never dared to dream of before. The only thing that worried Mari was probably the inability to contact Yuri and the others.

I wonder if Ash and his friends have found Chairwoman Lusamine yet.

"Ugh……"

Mary suddenly sighed softly. She didn't dare to think about how her brother and Yuri would react after hearing about her accident.

Hopefully, Dr. Kukui can suppress the news of his accident for now... although that idea is not very realistic.

"Ee... (What's wrong? Can't you sleep?)"

I-chan raised her head and licked Mary's cheek. Mary's physical condition was impossible to hide, so after hearing the sigh, I-chan assumed that Mary was suffering from pain and unable to sleep again.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering how my brother and Yuri are doing now."

"Eek... (Go to sleep early... taking good care of your injury is the most important thing right now.)"

I-chan didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head and nudged Mary's cheek with her own. For I-chan, as long as she hadn't been separated from Mary, it didn't matter if they were in a different world. But obviously, Mary wasn't as carefree as I-chan.

"Yes, Ichi-chan is right. The sooner we recover, the sooner we can go home."

Mary raised her hand and hugged Ichigo tightly, curling up her whole body and squinting her eyes to enjoy Ichigo's warmth. What she was most worried about now was Yuri, hoping that Sonia hadn't directly told Yuri her news.

But if Mari, who talks to Yuri every few days, goes missing for too long... it will probably be hard to keep it a secret.

Bal and the others surrounded Marie without interrupting. They all knew that they could go back after a while. Strictly speaking, the Pokémon were more worried about their trainers.

Xiao Mo shifted her body, mimicking Yi Jiang's movements, and nestled her small body on Mary's head, rubbing against Mary's cheek. Then Mary turned her hand over, rubbed her head, and pulled her into her arms.

"Alright, don't worry about me. I'm just a little discouraged sometimes. Go to sleep early. We need to get the Z-Ring tomorrow. Pazu, you can try out some Z-Moves."

"Hooray~ (I'm really looking forward to it~)"

That's what they say, but Pazu also knows that Marie is in such a state that she can't even perform the Z-Move moves. She'll probably have to wait until they get back to use them properly.

Goodnight, everyone~

"Sha~ (Goodnight, I'm coming~)"

Sisi propped her head up on her side and patted Mary's head like an older sister. After taking care of her for the past few days, Sisi seemed to enjoy this behavior more and more, which made Mary quite helpless, feeling that she had lost her dignity as a trainer.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Sisi-chan."

"Shh~ (Sweet dreams~)"

Mary nodded, squinted her eyes, and felt sleepiness wash over her before losing consciousness.

……

The next day, Mary still woke up very early. To be honest, Yisijiang's hypnosis technique really works. Her sleep quality is simply amazing, and she feels particularly energetic every morning when she wakes up.

After a quick wash with the help of Siu-chan and I-chan, Mari followed Mizuki out of the house.

"The island king Hala's residence is quite far. Does Mary want to fly there directly or walk there slowly?"

"Island Kings... Speaking of which, who are the current Elite Four of Alola? Don't the Island Kings hold any positions?"

Marie suddenly became curious, as she remembered that the Elite Four of Alola were not actually the kings of the islands.

Mizuki smiled and shook her head, explaining:

"Only Liz, the Queen of the Islands, agreed to the Elite Four's invitation. In fact, as things stand, it will take a considerable amount of time for Alola to fully accept the Pokémon League. Incidentally, the other three are Marin, Acerola, and Kashiri."

Mizuki knows her colleagues in the Pokémon League quite well, although they are all much older than her and usually take good care of the young champion.

"I see... It seems Alola still has a long way to go."
