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

After all, he can encounter opponents like Bebop and Clefairy attacking him, and of course, he can also protect Pokémon from attacks!

After all, he could also use Pokémon moves, his whole body bursting with green flames, which then spread out and transformed into a protective shield that enveloped Wobbuffet and Crobat.

The attacks from the bear-skinned Koshii failed to cause any damage when they hit the shield, which shocked Lusamine.

Previously, when she saw Yang Xiying throw Misdreavus, she only thought the opponent was strong and the brick flew, but now she realized that Yang Xiying also knows Pokémon moves!

"Kuma—!"

"Pique—!"

Meanwhile, the Perish Song turn ended, and both of Lusamine's Pokémon received the Perish Song's punishment.

—Their health bars went straight to zero!

"It seems that you, Miss Lusamine, are not very fond of Pokémon."

Yang Xiying also started trash-talking, revealing an extremely mocking expression, which directly made Lusamine blush.

"What did you say……?!"

"A trainer's love for their Pokémon is shown through battles; winning a battle proves how much the trainer cares for them."

Yang Xiying spoke in a flippant tone.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! It's just commanding Pokémon in battle! How can that show a trainer's love for their Pokémon?!"

Lusamine retorted directly, saying that what the other party said was utter nonsense to her! Yang Xiying, on the other hand, responded casually.

"Of course you can, because leading your own Pokémon to victory means that you know their individual characteristics and can use those to achieve victory."

"This shows that your understanding of Pokémon is only superficial. You don't truly love Pokémon. To love them, you need to understand them, and after understanding them, you need to learn to accept and tolerate everything about them. That's what love is!"

"You just want those Pokémon to live according to their own ideas, just like you expect from Gladion Lillie."

"—You just treat them like puppets to be manipulated at will."

"shut up!"

Every word Yang Xiying said was like a tug at her nerves, and Lusamine's face was contorted with rage.

At this moment, she released her remaining three Pokémon: Milotic, Brutus, and a humanoid plant Pokémon, which was Miss Skirt!

"You emphasize the trainer's love for Pokémon so much, but how much love do you actually have for Pokémon?!"

"I would never shamelessly profess my love for Pokémon,"

Yang Xiying gave a calm response.

At the same time, various fluctuations appeared around him, and Pokémon such as Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia rushed out!

"And when it comes to love, I can't do what I say so exaggeratedly, because as long as both my needs and those of my Pokémon are met, that's enough!"

"The battle should end!"

With a wave of her hand, Yang Xiying caused the Pokémon behind her to charge up and unleash their beam attacks!

The three Pokémon in front of Lusamine were swallowed up by the water and lost their ability to battle in an instant.

Lusamine was also blasted away by the aftershock of the light cannon and crashed heavily to the ground. In this no-rules battle, Yang Xiying won!

……

"Do you want to continue? If you want to silence me, I can keep you company until you feel you can't do it anymore."

Despite the victory, Yang Xiying didn't mind playing a few more rounds with her opponent, as it was quite interesting to make people fear and admire her.

"...it's no longer necessary,"

Lusamine struggled to get up from the ground, while the duck sat on the ground, looking dejected.

How could there possibly be any chance of a comeback in this situation? The other side is overwhelming us with absolute strength.

"I have already lost, so you can do whatever you want with me from now on. You can thaw those frozen live Pokémon yourself."

"Frozen living Pokémon do need to be thawed, but I wouldn't go that far as to kill or torture them."

"After all, that's not something that can be punished with the death penalty,"

Yang Xiying responded, "Moreover, I always resolve things by pausing time, which means I hope we can handle it privately."

After all, it would be a shame to turn on someone after they've taken the initiative to cooperate. He doesn't like the scenario of today's ally becoming tomorrow's enemy.

"...Then what do you want to do to me?"

As she spoke, her heart began to race. During her previous battle, she had witnessed her opponent harboring an immense ambition.

But he couldn't see what it was. Now, whenever he thought of her, he felt a sense of resentment at being ignored and mocked by Yang Xiying.

And this kind of private handling always made her think of some unpleasant things, after all, the other party also seemed to be a young and hot-blooded man...

"Of course, we should release those frozen live Pokémon and stop doing the stupid thing of freezing live Pokémon. Then we should find an opportunity to have a good talk with our own Pokémon."

"That way, I can pretend that what happened in this world where time has stopped never happened,"

Yang Xiying answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"—We can still cooperate to explore the Ultimate Cave."

"That's it?"

Rosamina looked surprised and uncertain, because she felt that Yang Xiying's punishment was too lenient.

"Okay, that's all."

What are you thinking?

Lusamine fell silent. It was a bit strange that the other side had beaten her up just to tell her what she should and shouldn't do.

After all, they had gone to such great lengths. In the previous battle, she had aimed to cripple her opponent, and she also had the idea of ​​turning him into a specimen.

—Because this person is very interesting!

"I also want to know what I'm thinking,"

Yang Xiying couldn't offer a convincing reason for simply letting Lusamine go.

First, as I mentioned before; second, Lillie's request; and finally, well, let me just say something random.

"—Perhaps it's because I'm particularly forgiving of beautiful women."

PS: Update!

562

Chapter 562 Reconciliation and Continued Exploration of the Ultimate Cave!

Is Rosamina considered a beautiful woman? Absolutely, and Yang Xiying now generally gives such a person some preferential treatment.

Most importantly, Rosamund didn't make any serious mistakes, and there was still time to remedy them, so the matter could be resolved privately.

—Madam, you wouldn't want my other side to be exposed to the public, would you? *cough*

In short, Yang Xiying felt that she could resolve Lusamine's issue privately, which would save a lot of trouble.

"Oh? That's an interesting question. So you've taken a liking to me?"

Lusamine was somewhat surprised to hear Yang Xiying give such a cliché reason, after all, the other party was behaving like a moral guardian.

“That’s not the main purpose. Miss Lillie asked me for help, and if we can resolve this now, it will save us a lot of trouble.”

Seeing the amused look in Rosamina's eyes, Yang Xiying quickly changed the subject, even though he was indeed interested in Rosamina.

However, the woman on the other side is married, and her husband is most likely still alive. This setting exists in both games and anime; he just has amnesia.

Making a move on a woman like that would only bring you a lot of trouble, and you'd also end up with a son or daughter for free.

It would put some pressure on her, so Yang Xiying would never try to get closer to him; she knew when to stop.

"You're only talking to me about these things in private now because you want to secretly get something out of me, don't you?"

Rosamina's lips curled slightly. She was starting to find Yang Xiying interesting; after all, the thoughts the opponent had revealed through the battle seemed far from simple...

"And you mentioned Lillie, are you interested in that child?"

"Actually, I wouldn't mind exposing your dirty deeds and ruining the reputation of the Ether Foundation,"

Yang Xiying remained silent.

This woman is really getting into it...

"Haha, well then, I thank Mr. Yang for his magnanimity,"

Noticing that Yang Xiying's expression had calmed down, Lusamine was also ready to change her tune.

"I will give up those awkward hobbies, and I will eventually find time to talk to Lillie and Gladio and reflect on them."

After all, it wouldn't be good to waste the chance the other party gave her to change, and it would also distance her from this man.

For some reason, this person's act of privately revealing a side of herself that no one else knew and demanding things of her excited her somewhat...

Rosamina has found a more interesting way to deal with her psychological trauma, so now it's time to reflect on her mistakes.

"Then we'll work together to explore the Ultimate Cave,"

That way I can run into this man more often...

"...It would be best if you did that; I will keep a close eye on you."

Yang Xiying remained silent for a while, thinking that the matter was now resolved...

Finally, Yang Xiying used her superpowers to restore Lusamine's injuries from the battle, and then broke the time-stop.

The group continued their actions as if nothing had happened, and the Ether Foundation also began to make contact with the Space Research Institute for cooperation.

……

"...You and Miss Rosamund really didn't have anything happen between you?"

[...So, in Lila's eyes, I'm someone who solves problems by persecuting women?]

"Well, after all, the consequences of going against Mr. Yang are rather... cough, really nothing happened?"

【No. 】

When the Aether Foundation made contact with the Space Research Institute, and when Lusamine repented and contacted Gladio Lillie.

Lila also whispered something to Yang Xiying, but the hesitant expression on Lila's face made Yang Xiying a little unable to hold back.

[I wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on a married woman, or even a widow, and besides, it wouldn't be a good thing for my two grown children to suddenly have a stepfather.]

[...Is that so? So Mr. Yang's inability to trigger that scenario isn't just because the woman is between 18 and 50 years old.]

Yes, I do have my principles, although after meeting all sorts of girls, I don't really have that many anymore.

But one principle can give me some peace of mind.

Lila smiled and replied that when she first realized Yang Xiying's characteristics, she thought he was a great demon.

[—And you yourself are here to save the world.]

So, Miss Lila, could you perhaps reward me for saving the world tonight?

Yang Xiying also made a joke at this moment.

【uh-huh? 】

Hearing Yang Xiying's words, Lila's expression immediately turned amused. "Was it you who invited me this time?"

You've only contacted me once, haven't you?

Yang Xiying responded directly, as if the other party had contacted her many times.

[Heh, anyway, we really need to spend more time together to deepen our relationship. After all, I was able to subdue the Explosive Muscle Mosquito last time thanks to you.]

Lila wouldn't refuse Yang Xiying's invitation. She had taken the initiative to contact Yang Xiying a few days ago because she also wanted to try to capture Ultra Beasts.

He consulted various questions about this, and also gained power from Yang Xiying, eventually subduing the ultimate beast, Buzzwole.

Based on this, she wouldn't refuse Yang Xiying, so tonight will be a sleepless night for both of them...

However, he and Lila also had to join the team to continue dealing with the Ether Foundation's affairs before evening.

The Space Research Institute was quite surprised by the Aether Foundation's offer of peace, given that they were aware of Lillie Gragio's situation.

They resisted the Aether Foundation and Lusamine, but this time Lusamine actually apologized to the two children and the Space Exploration Institute, hoping to cooperate in exploring the Ultimate Void.
