Chapter 418 [Hidden]

The participation of Pokémon such as Yveltal in the battle relieved a lot of combat pressure on Qiao Ran. Of course, this was also related to the fighting style Qiao Ran chose. He did not force himself to stay in a certain place for the sake of fighting. From the beginning to the end, he had only one goal.

——Head to where Lusamine is.

The longer this time drags on, the higher the probability that Lusamine will be in danger.

No matter what, she is Liliae's mother, and Qiao Ran will not sit idly by.

"Monarch Snake!"

Mei also sent out her Pokémon and joined the battle. Although Yveltal had intercepted a large number of Douglas in the air, some still slipped through the net and fell to the ground.

Not only that, Qiao Ran also saw a white, slender figure on the corridor bridge not far above. Those pheromones did not seem to give up, but tried to find a way to move closer to it.

There's no point in staying here any longer.

"..."

Rushing to the central elevator, Lillie operated it slightly and the elevator started the emergency power. In order to save energy, the elevator was not in operation all the time, but would only be started when needed.

"Come!"

Lillie grabbed Qiao Ran and Mei's hands and pulled them into the elevator. In this world, Qiao Ran and Mei also took back their Pokémon.

"Om-"

The red and white monsters would naturally not let Qiao Ran and the others leave just like that. The Exploding Muscle Mosquito was flying in the air, concentrating all the muscles in its body. The Pheromone Mantis had just reached the bottom floor and rushed over like a white lightning, but when the elevator door closed, it was too late.

The Ether Foundation's central elevator was designed for operation in times of crisis. Even for a monster like the alien beast, it would basically take a lot of effort to destroy it directly.

By this time, Qiao Ran and others had already reached their destination.

however--

When the elevator door opened, Qiao Ran, Lillie and the others left the elevator and came to Lusamine's laboratory. The place had already become a mess, with all kinds of papers scattered on the ground, and the figure with long golden hair was nowhere to be seen.

"No... Impossible, where?"

Lillie began to search everywhere, and Qiao Ran also closed his eyes and used his wave power to find out the situation here.

Under the detection of the wave power, there is almost no way for living life to hide. However, no matter how Qiao Ran searches, he can't find it.

The person they were looking for was not found.

"She seems...really not here anymore."

Qiao Ran glanced at the instruments around him that had been turned off, while Meiyi lay on the ground and picked up the papers that had fallen on the ground.

"Research on the Opening of the Ultimate Hole and the Stability of Space"... What exactly is this..."

There were things written on the paper that she couldn't understand. They were all words she knew, but when they were put together, they looked like alien language to Mei.

"Wait...that's not right."

Liliae, who was originally running around in a panic, suddenly stopped as if she suddenly remembered something.

She looked at the computer in front of her and turned it on.

The computer that originally stored a large amount of data now had nothing left, and the locked storage device on the table next to it had also disappeared.

"Nothing happened. Mother left here on her own."

Lillie knew her mother very well. She would definitely leave a way out. Even if something like this happened, that person would be able to handle everything beautifully.

Although that person had put immense pressure on her and controlled everything about her since she was a child, Lillie knew how powerful and outstanding she was.

"Based on her personality, she must have left some clues... where is it..."

Lillie searched the room again. She was also very familiar with the structure of this room. Before Lusamine woke up, she had stayed here for a long time and had seen a lot of materials stored in it.

If she encountered something like this, she would not only take away the research materials, but also leave some clues. Of course, in addition to the research materials...

"...!"

Liliae's gaze suddenly stopped on the table beside her.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Ran noticed her abnormality and asked hurriedly.

"Can you give me that thing?"

Lillie pointed to a photo frame on the table. If it were her, she would definitely...

"it is good."

Qiao Ran took a few steps forward, picked up the photo frame from the table, and handed it to Liliae who was sitting in front of the computer.

It was a photo frame that looked a bit old. Because it was often held in people's hands, the decorations next to the frame had peeled off their colors.

And in the center of the frame, there is a special photo.

"If it were me, I would definitely take this too."

Lillie looked at the photo, her eyes filled with nostalgia. In the photo, the smiling faces of four people were reflected. Standing in the front were two blond adults. One of them was Lusamine, who looked almost the same as she is now, but her expression was obviously more sunny and cheerful. The other one was a sturdy man with short blond hair and a hearty laugh. This was Lillie's father, Dr. Moon.

As for Lillie in the photo, she still looked like a little child, being held in Lusamine's arms, looking at the camera shyly. On the other side, there was a blond boy who was not much older than Lillie, being held by Dr. Moon's hand, looking at the camera proudly.

“…There’s no way she wouldn’t take this.”

This photo was an irreplaceable memory not only for Lillie, but even more so for Lusamine.

If she had to choose, she would not give up this memory even if the research materials were gone.

Lillie reached out, removed the cover behind the photo frame, and pulled the photo out.

This obvious abnormality must have its reasons, and she is probably the only one who can discover this.

"..."

Lillie took the photo and turned it over.

And on the back of the photo, there was indeed something written in a very serious manner.

Alola

"A...Lola...?"

A look of confusion spread across Lillie's face once again.

Why is Alola mentioned here?

"Could it be that..."

Liliae and Qiao Ran made sounds at the same time, and they raised their heads and looked at each other.

"She's in Alola right now!"

Chapter 419 [Barrier]

"

You are talking about..."

Although she was a little slow, Mei reacted immediately after hearing Lillie and Qiao Ran's voices.

Alora.

Although the Aether Foundation is in Alola, it cannot be considered to be in Alola. This artificial island was built on the sea in the center of Alola at the cost of countless financial and material resources, and it was Lillie's father and mother who took care of all of this.

So strictly speaking, the Aether Foundation is not located in Alola. If you want to go to the real land of Alola, you have to cross a very long ocean.

As for why Lusamine and the others were trapped here, it was because the surrounding space had undergone an unknown distortion, preventing them from leaving the area where the Aether Foundation was located.

——This is also one of the reasons why Miyue chose to leave here even at the cost of becoming Qiao Ran's Pokémon. As a trainer, she could not accept such an ending if she was trapped in such a place forever.

"If that's the case, it would explain why so many strange beasts appeared here..."

Judging from the situation in other regions, the situation in the outside world of Alola is probably not too good either. Moreover, most of the crises in the region are related to certain "factors" within themselves. For example, Unova originated from the Black Dragon and the White Dragon, Galar was due to its unique Gigantamax, and Alola is probably also inseparable from the Ultra Beasts.

If Lusamine had truly gone to Alola and removed the "space barrier" outside, then it made sense for the other beasts to enter the Aether Foundation. Of course, this was just Qiao Ran and the others' current speculation; as to whether this speculation had any basis in reality, they still needed to explore further.

"So what we should do now is..."

Qiao Ran exchanged glances with the two girls in front of him. They also looked at Qiao Ran and nodded sharply. From their eyes, Qiao Ran saw the burning fighting spirit.

It was getting late, but they had no intention of stopping here.

"We still have a game tomorrow..."

Qiao Ran sighed. They had been competing for several days, and tomorrow was the final battle. For this, they had made countless preparations.

but……

"However, compared to this kind of thing—whatever the competition is, it's not as important as what's happening right now."

Qiao Ran waved his hand, and Lillie, Mei and the others also laughed.

Yeah, compared to this kind of thing, it’s just a game, what does it matter?

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

After coming out of Lusamine's laboratory, Qiao Ran, Lillie and others did not choose the elevator this time, but walked out from the emergency passage in another direction.

This secret passage is only known to Lillie, Lusamine and others, and its only purpose is to escape in an emergency.

Going out from here, you can directly reach the outside of the Ether Foundation. At the end of the passage, there are several speedboats that can be used to leave at any time.

"It seems that research work is still quite risky."

Qiao Ran took a look at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but sigh. This kind of passage was probably taken into consideration when the building was designed, and it was not something that was added later.
