I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

Then he met his own group, so it's currently three months before the start of the Pokémon Sun and Moon storyline.

Of course, Yang Xiying wouldn't tell those around her these things in detail, so she had to come up with a way to deceive them.

"I have a friend... who can predict the future. Do you believe it?"

As Yang Xiying said this, Nazi, who was in a distant region, sneezed.

"...We believe."

Kukui Banettelila and the others nodded. They believed that he himself could foresee the future, not just that his friend could.

"Shall we wait for little Lillie to wake up before contacting the Aether Foundation?"

Yang Xiying made this suggestion to him.

"it is good."

"Thank you for letting me be willful."

Yang Xiying responded that it would be much easier with the cooperation of these people; otherwise, he might have had to put in more effort.

After all, if we inform the Ether Foundation first, they will definitely send someone over immediately. If Lillie is still asleep, we will only have the Ether Foundation's word to us.

Whether it's true or false is uncertain, but if we hear Lillie's words after she wakes up, the situation will be different.

Of course, if Lillie is unable to tell the truth for some reason, Yang Xiying can secretly follow and observe the Ether Foundation for a while.

—Anyway, let's wait for Lillie to wake up first.

"Not at all. Yang, you've helped us a lot, so we'll naturally take your ideas and opinions into consideration."

Kukui responded cheerfully, and Dr. Barnett chimed in at that moment, "Actually, we also plan to collaborate with Aether on the research of the Ultimate Void."

"After all, the Ultimate Cave was discovered by the chairman's husband, Mr. Moen, but unfortunately he disappeared in the Ultimate Cave due to an accident."

“We searched for a long time but couldn’t find any trace of him, and at that time we were basically convinced that Dr. Mohn was dead.”

"Because of this, we couldn't do anything related to Lusamine's Ultimate Cave at that time, since Moen's disappearance was a big blow to her."

"And so we put our research on the Ultimate Hole on hold, and the Ultimate Hole didn't appear for a long time."

"It only started to happen frequently recently, so we're also planning to collaborate with the Ether Foundation. After all, over the years, Rosamund has shown signs of recovery in the eyes of many."

"This time, the proposal for cooperation did not encounter any obstacles. The Ethereum Foundation is even willing to provide us with technical and financial support in the future."

"There's just one strange thing, that is, Rosamund gives me a slightly different feeling,"

As she spoke, Barnett also showed a doubtful expression.

The feeling she gets from Rosamund is strange, but she can't quite put her finger on it; perhaps it's just a woman's intuition.

In short, Yang Xiying's suggestion was an opportunity for her to see if that strange feeling was real.

"That's it..."

Upon hearing Dr. Barnett's words, Yang Xiying suddenly wondered if the organization might have been infiltrated by the Ethers.

—As expected, Lillie was watching over him constantly, or perhaps she herself had deliberately awakened him.

Chapter 557 Glagio Lillie might have multiple fathers...

"Lillie, I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried about you when we were suddenly separated because of the appearance of Ultra Beasts."

"No... well, I'm sorry to have worried you, Mother."

At this moment, a touching scene is unfolding at the entrance of the Space Research Institute on Akala Island, where a mother and daughter, separated for a long time, are finally reunited.

Lillie, the heiress of the Ether Foundation, was previously abducted by Ultra Beasts and taken to Ultra Hole, where she was eventually found by people from the Space Research Institute.

Upon learning of this news, the Ether Foundation immediately contacted them and sent people over, including the Ether Council Chairman himself.

The woman, who was practically a giant version of Lillie, was half-squatting on the ground, holding the bewildered Lillie with an expression of deep concern.

"It's good that you're alright. Let's go home now. Also, everyone at the Space Research Institute, thank you so much for helping us find Lillie."

"You're welcome. I just didn't expect the Aether Foundation to encounter an Ultra Beast."

Kukui responded with a smile.

"Yes, that Ultra Beast took Lillie and the Cosmog we were taking care of, which worried us for quite a while."

“I thought I was going to lose another family member, but I’m so grateful to Dr. Kukui for finding them here.”

"We will immediately provide funding and technical support for your previous proposal to explore the Ultimate Cavern together."

"But now we have to take Lillie away, since she's not very comfortable in the outside world."

"--Well, let's talk about exploring the Ultimate Cave later."

Thus, the people from the Ether Foundation parted ways with the people from the Space Research Institute, while the people from the Space Research Institute stood there in silence.

"What are you all thinking...?"

But this silence was soon broken when a rebellious blond boy suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

"You're the young master of the Ether Foundation...?"

Dr. Kukui suddenly froze on the spot upon seeing this person.

—This boy is also the son of the chairman of the Ether Foundation, Gladio.

"Call me Gladion. I want to know what you were thinking when you did that. Was the person Chairman Ether took away really Lillie?"

Gladgio frowned slightly.

"You noticed..."

Upon hearing Gladion's question, Dr. Kukui and the others suddenly showed expressions of surprise.

"If they hadn't realized it, I definitely would have come out to stop the chairman from taking Lillie away,"

Gladio spoke at this moment.

He also happened to come here and saw Chairman Ether preparing to take Lillie away, and at that moment he had a feeling that he couldn't let him succeed.

Because he had left the Ether Chairperson voluntarily, he couldn't help but have this thought after learning her true nature.

He knew Lillie's personality very well, so knowing that person's true nature would likely lead him to resist.

He had to take action, but he was stopped by a look from Lillie, a look that was absolutely impossible to see on Lillie.

—It's like the look a predator gives to intimidate other creatures.

This turn of events left him confused, and he needed to find an opportunity to understand the ins and outs of the matter, which could be done by starting with the people at the Space Research Institute.

"Really? Anyway, let's go inside and talk about it first,"

Dr. Kukui seemed thoughtful, then invited Gladion to his home.

"..."

Gladion nodded silently and followed Dr. Kukui inside. Then he heard a very familiar voice.

"elder brother!"

"Mogu—!"

It was Lillie. Lillie, who had originally left with the people from the Aether Foundation, appeared at the Space Research Institute.

"Lillie, are you alright?"

Gladio immediately ran over and looked at Lillie with a concerned expression.

"I'm fine, Dr. Kukui and the others saved me,"

Lillie shook her head, while Gladion also seemed thoughtful.

"Is that so... So Lillie who just left with the Ether Foundation was someone else in disguise?"

He turned his gaze to the people around him.

"Yes, we have someone here who has replaced Miss Lillie and is following the Ether Foundation."

Lila then began to explain.

"The reason is that we had doubts about the Ether Foundation, and then we heard a distress call from Miss Lillie."

“Miss Lillie escaped with Cosmog because the Aether Foundation needed to use its power for some bad things.”

"So we wanted to confront the Ethereum Foundation,"

Dr. Kukui then took over the conversation, while Gladion looked puzzled.

"But why did you choose to have someone impersonate Lillie? Couldn't you have confronted her directly?"

The reason why the other side did this is somewhat unclear.

“As I just mentioned, we have some doubts about the Ether Foundation, so we plan to wait until Miss Lillie wakes up, get some information from her, and then contact the Ether Foundation.”

Lila continued speaking.

“We’ll say Miss Lillie is with us, and then confront them when they come to pick her up, but there’s a condition for that.”

"That means Miss Lillie had to wake up before the Aether Foundation knew she was here. Lillie went through the Ultimate Hole and fell into a coma."

"It will take some time for her to wake up, but in the meantime, news of Miss Lillie at the Space Research Institute quickly reached the Ether Foundation."

"So you want to hear the whole story from Lillie and the Aether Foundation separately?"

Gladio suddenly understood something.

"Yes, so when the Ether Foundation contacted us, we took emergency measures and had someone impersonate Miss Lillie and infiltrate the Foundation."

"..."

Gladio suddenly fell silent, then asked the person opposite him, "So regardless of whether Lillie is awake or not, you're going to investigate the Aether Foundation?"

"No, our impersonation of Miss Lillie is also based on the premise that Miss Lillie has awakened. After all, this method of investigation is still going its own way."

"How did Lillie wake up ahead of schedule? You just said that it would take some time for Lillie to wake up, right?"

"Teacher Pigeon saved me!"

Lillie spoke up at this moment, "He restored my body to health in a short time."

"Teacher Pigeon...you mean that Teacher Pigeon who spreads Pokémon battle knowledge online and defeats all sorts of villains in real life?!"

Upon hearing Lillie's words, Gladion suddenly showed a surprised expression; Pigeon Teacher was far too famous to him.

After all, I often watch his videos to learn in order to become stronger, and I am a fan who follows him, so it is easy for me to know his updates.

"That's right, it's Teacher Pigeon. Also, the fake Lillie who followed the Ether Foundation was his doing."

Dr. Kukui would like to add a comment here.

"So it's Teacher Pigeon who's helping Lillie?"

Gladio was both surprised and delighted, after all, he had received help from a master.

"Yes."

"But is it okay? Is Teacher Ge going alone?"

Gladion suddenly showed a worried expression, while Dr. Kukui had a complicated look on his face.

"We invited Teacher Pigeon over to help explore the Ultimate Cave, but judging from his performance now, it feels like he could do it all by himself."

"—So don't worry, it's just an investigation."

"Yes."

Lila chimed in at this moment, while also feeling a bit conflicted, because she sensed that given Yang Xiying's habits, Gladio and Lillie might have another father...
