Chapter 222 Busy Valentine’s Day, Xinye Miao and Lillie’s preparations

February has arrived, and various commissions are coming. As graduation approaches, many courses in the school are about wilderness survival, so that students will seize the time to practice in order to avoid accidents when traveling after graduation.

Hoshino actually didn't want to take this class. If he had the time, he might as well be busy developing the Z bracelet.

After all, he has a full Survival Skill, so even if he doesn't bring a single Pokémon, it's hard to have any problems in the wild. There will be no problem if he survives.

But Lillie can't do it. She has too little experience in this area. When she traveled to Padea or Sinnoh in the past, she basically stayed in hotels whenever she had the chance. Camping was always the last thing she considered.

So this time, just to accompany her, I deliberately followed her here to avoid being teased by Mitsuki and the others again, so Hoshino also chose to use this opportunity to help Lillie train Pokémon.

It's been so long since the Youth Cup ended, but you can't relax just because of your good results. After all, you will graduate in a few months, and you will have to choose a path by then.

It was during this period that their classmates gathered together and talked about their future ideas and what they wanted to do after graduation.

There is no need for Meiyue to say much. Everyone already knows that Xiaoyang seems to be planning to go to other areas to practice and challenge the gym, and then come back to help her. The two have been dating for several years.

Hawu also seems to have plans to go to other areas for training, and even many students are like this, because if Mitsuki wants to establish the Alola Alliance, there must be a lack of powerful trainers.

Except for Hoshino, who came here halfway, they are all old classmates who have been together for nearly six years. As the class president, Mitsuki has always had strong leadership skills and is very good at taking care of others.

Therefore, this group of people may be the foundation for the establishment of the Alola Alliance in the future...

The circle was about to end, and only the last two people were left. Hoshino also followed the atmosphere and said that although he actually had no intention of going out to practice for the time being, he just wanted to start the Master House now.

Offline has been stabilized, and what is left is the website. The development direction has been completely planned, and all that is needed is a trustworthy Internet expert to help. Of course, if possible, traveling is not without problems, and I even want to go...

…

Finally, we come to Lillie. What she wants to do most in her heart is to solve the problem of the Aether Foundation and then investigate Little Nebula's life experience, but this cannot be said directly.

But if there are no such things, she actually wants to go to the Padia area after graduation, fulfill the agreement with her senior sister, challenge the gym, and finally have a battle with the opponent... It seems that everyone wants to do the same thing.

"Do you want to go to the Padia area? It's quite safe there... The Ether Foundation's hand can't reach there. If you want to go there after graduation, I'll accompany you. It just so happens that I also have some things to deal with."

Hoshino lowered his voice and said that he needed the help of the Fairy Queen, so he had to completely deal with the Tianxing team. It was not easy to fight before, but it is different now. This year, the difference is huge!

This is something that was promised to the principal and something that was promised to the Fairy Queen. If the two promises are made together, who is not the superman of the promise?

Moreover, in Padia, there are relationships between the academy and the alliance. Don't go sideways, at least no one will dare to take your idea casually, so it's safe.

And hearing what he said, Lillie nodded lightly. If Hoshino accompanied her on the trip, she would not be too lonely. She would try to become stronger before coming back, and then use the Ether Foundation...

But these are things that should only be considered after graduation. It’s still early. Let’s get through this semester and then make a Z bracelet to bring a little Alola shock to the Padians!

A few days passed quickly, and the wilderness survival course ended again. Without any surprises, they returned to Melemele Island from the jungle of Akala Island.

Valentine's Day is coming soon. Young people in the Alola region love this kind of festival, and the business district is starting to come alive around the atmosphere.

However, these things have nothing to do with Hoshino. It is a holiday that he never celebrates anyway, and it happens to be a weekend holiday. He has to deal with commissions and work on the Z bracelet, so the day is full of arrangements.

But Lillie has been waiting for nearly a month, struggling for so long just to seize the opportunity of this day and say those words to Hoshino!

She didn't want to wait any longer, she had to mature and take the initiative and have her own opinions, so just for this day, she deliberately took the time to study on her mobile phone what she should do on Valentine's Day!

But as Valentine's Day gradually approaches, a bizarre incident occurred in the business district of Hauale City just the day before. Miss Junsha and even the international police rushed to the scene...

The alley near a shopping mall has been cordoned off and cordoned off. Miss Junsha is responsible for guarding the perimeter and preventing people from approaching.

Just now, the ambulance had arrived, taking several members of the Aether Foundation and their Pokémon, as well as some stray Meowth and Rattata who were also suffering, to the hospital for treatment.

"None of them are life-threatening, and there are no external injuries on their bodies. They fell into this coma, and their body temperature dropped. There is only one result... they were deprived of life energy. This time the opponent is a ghost type!"

The person who said this was wearing a brown trench coat and was not dressed like a policeman, but like a mature but unreliable detective.

Lila stood next to him, thinking about the other person's words with a solemn expression, and murmured softly: "Another ultimate alien beast that has no record... Did the surveillance camera capture the other person's appearance?"

She asked her subordinates at the rear, but they said that this place was a completely blind spot for surveillance. Under normal circumstances, few people would pass by. Only some stray Pokémon would stay here because they did not want to get close to the crowd.

After listening to her subordinate's words, Lila shook her head with a headache. She just finished dealing with the UB: stacking issue at the beginning of last month. At the end of the month, she also dealt with an ordinary UB02: swelling in Poni Island. She didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

She really couldn't stand it anymore. It hadn't reached the peak period mentioned by Dr. Barnett, but it was already once every half a month. In the past, she rarely encountered a few in a year. She really didn't know what to do next.

Moreover, the ones who were attacked this time were members of the Aether Foundation. Although it was guessed that these guys were also planning on the ultimate alien beasts, without definite evidence or being caught on the spot, they could not directly intervene in the investigation and could only send them all away.

…

Gladion was standing not far away. His previous afro had returned to a mop hairstyle. He still didn't intend to let Hoshino go, but he was also very busy because of the Ultra Beast matter.

He looked at the uncle next to Lila. This was the handsome guy he called the helper who came from Carlos last year...

It is said that he used to be Lila's boss, but later he was overtaken because of serious mistakes at work and because he had no intention of promotion.

However, the other party was one of the first batch of personnel of the international police responsible for investigating and dealing with the ultimate alien beasts. You must know that the original ultimate alien beasts had no intelligence at all and did not know how to fight them. Being able to survive is enough to make them

People admired it.

Gladion and other colleagues also asked Lila about this new aid, and then learned some truth.

The major mistake that year occurred because when the handsome guy and his teammates were capturing UB05: The Big Stomach King, they developed sympathy for the seriously injured and dying ultimate beast, which resulted in the sacrifice of a companion and the failure of the mission.

Since then, the handsome guy has quit the UB Countermeasures Headquarters and is no longer responsible for the Ultra Beasts. He has begun to engage in intelligence work, and has made great contributions in the disbandment of Team Rocket in the Kanto region a few years ago.

Overall, he is very powerful. The cases he has been responsible for add up to each other, and he is like a living legend. Even with a character like Gladion, he must be given the respect he deserves...

After complaining for a while, Lila cheered up in an instant and her expression returned to calm, because this is her job and her mission, trying to survive the last year of this year and then return to the Fengyuan area for vacation!

She reached out and took some of the things handed over by her subordinates from behind, and then took a look at them, and said: "Twenty minutes ago, there was a loud explosion here, and at the same time there were some stray Pokémon and passers-by.

Scared away..."

After a pause, she looked up at the scene where the forward plan was discovered and continued: "But there are no traces of explosions at all here, and there are not even traces of fighting, so how did you do it?"

"Not sure."

"Aren't you a detective?"

"Detective is life, police is work."

The handsome guy said seriously, then sighed and continued: "I originally quit the UB Countermeasures Headquarters, but in the end I was forced to hand over the work in hand to others and come here to assist..."

"Detective agency work?"

"No, after Team Rocket was disbanded, its leader, Sakaki, the previous gym trainer of Evergreen Gym, disappeared. I have been investigating his whereabouts, but I can't find him at all..."

"Sakaki..."

When Lila heard this name, she immediately remembered who it was. She had a low position when Team Rocket was disbanded, and because she was busy fighting against the development zone, she never participated in the arrest mission.

At that time, Sakaki's name was spread all over the country. Who would have thought that a gym trainer working for the Alliance would be the leader of Team Rocket, the world's largest Pokémon mafia group?

"He is indeed a very difficult guy. I heard that Chihong defeated him, but he failed to keep him, so you are..."

"I gave up on doing new tasks a long time ago. I came here because my new task was taken away. I guess you were the one who named me, right?"

"..."

Lila looked away and did not respond. Seeing this scene, the handsome guy knew that he had guessed correctly.

After a moment of silence, Lila changed the subject and asked: "By the way, did you finally catch the ultimate beast that you failed in the mission?"

"No, it just disappeared in the Alola area. It can't be found anywhere, and there is no movement. It may have died somewhere..."

The handsome guy shook his head. He didn't want to discuss this heavy topic. Lila saw what he meant and changed the topic back to the current case, and then her expression became solemn again.

This time the enemy is unknown, can take away the life energy of living things, and disappears into the business district. It is like throwing a hungry wolf into the sheepfold...

Over at the Master House, Hoshino is busy developing the Z bracelet and has no time to care about anything else.

Lillie watched carefully. She still didn't say anything, but she asked her friend from the izakaya downstairs to buy chocolate outside, melt it all and make it her own. You have to be considerate!

Although she doesn't know how to cook, she believes that she will definitely not overturn this kind of operation that a 3-year-old child understands. She just waits for Hoshino to borrow the kitchen to do it when he is not at home!

"The only thing left is to see when it will be delivered tomorrow, and then seize this opportunity..."

She quietly peeked her head in and looked at Hoshino, who was working hard over there. She held her collar nervously with one hand and hid a box of chocolates behind her back with the other hand.

But she didn't realize that not far behind her, Xinye Miao was also watching secretly, her pink eyes looking directly at the chocolate in her hand, but this look obviously didn't mean she wanted to eat it.

"Meow……"

With a soft cry, Xinye Miao seemed to have thought of something, turned around and ran out the door...

That night, Kabukicho opened for business as usual, and Pokémon gathered from all over to relax here as usual.

At the same time, in the Everything House, a Pokémon request arrived, but today's guest was a little bit special. He turned out to be a neighbor from the underground.

The cat boss didn't expect that one day he would come here to ask for help, but he had no choice. He really had no clue about what happened this time.

Hoshino was quite surprised that the other party would come over, but since they are all neighbors in Kabukicho, as long as they come here to ask for help sincerely, then he can help.

"...There are a lot of stray cats in Hola City, but I don't know who knocked them all down? This is obviously because you are too ostentatious and offended people, right?"

"Meow……"

The cat boss shook his head and began to explain that all his little brothers had their life energy eaten, and not only these cats, but also humans and other Pokémon also suffered from this.

It usually doesn't care about things on the ground, but when its little brother is bullied, it will definitely step in. As a result, it went out for a few rounds and found nothing.

As for asking other companions or the boss for help? Wouldn't that seem even more useless, and they wouldn't leave Kabukicho casually. After thinking about it for a long time, they came to the Master House to seek help.

After listening to its description of the situation, Hoshino frowned slightly and noticed something was wrong.

I'm thinking that this isn't Halloween. Where did such a powerful ghost-type Pokémon come from running around in the city? It seems like it's necessary to investigate.

While he was still inquiring about some details from the cat boss, outside Kabukicho, New Leaf Cat was jumping and running happily with a box of chocolates he bought in his mouth, preparing to go home.

Some of the cats around them hid immediately after seeing it appear, but then a ball fell to the ground and rolled slowly among them, with a sudden loud bang...

"Meow?!"

Xinye Miao was suddenly startled and looked over there subconsciously. In a dark alley not far away, a round ball was bouncing rhythmically, as if someone who had been practicing for two and a half years was beating it.

It looked like a normal basketball, but I didn't see anyone.

But if you look closely, you will find that what kind of ball is this? It is clearly a very weird head, being beaten like a ball!

There are many dots of different colors distributed on it. The whole head is hollow in the middle, and the inner structure can be seen. Some are like rotating light balls in a disco, and some are like the LED lights of fluorescent balloons!

The new leaf cat was startled. It had never seen anything weirder than an iron bag turning around. It turned around and ran towards Kabukicho immediately.

But then, from the dark alley, a hand that seemed to be wearing white gloves suddenly stretched out and grabbed the head!

At this moment, the head caught in the hand is also slowly turning, and the yellow eyes wrapped in a six-pointed star pattern are staring directly at the direction it is leaving, which is where Kabukicho is...
