It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 287 Mother-in-law’s approval, the new chairman of the Ethereum Foundation!

In the No. 1 Hospital of Hauole City, Lusamine fainted at the Nichirin Altar. Her life was in danger and she was rushed here for rescue.

Outside the ICU, Lillie was waiting anxiously. She clasped her hands together and prayed that her mother would be safe. Finally, she finally got her mother back. Nothing must happen!

Lila was also standing not far away, with a serious expression and a little worry. She just wanted to take Lusamine away for investigation, but she didn't expect that the other party would die immediately. Who would have thought of this?

Hoshino stayed with Lillie to comfort her, and then sighed softly. Sure enough, the injury was still too serious. Although he relied on seasoning to support him until now, he could not hold on after all. It depends on the strength of the hospital.

A whole night passed like this. The matter of Lusamine being sent to the ICU was temporarily under lockdown. She is now the subject of a key investigation by the international police, and her identity is also very special. It is not convenient to report this kind of thing, so we can only temporarily

Press.

Fortunately, with the high level of medical care and the assistance of professional Pokémon, the rescue finally ended in the morning. At this time, Ms. Joy, who was responsible for participating in the rescue, walked out with a happy egg.

Seeing this, Lillie immediately stood up and ran over. If Hoshino hadn't been holding her up, she would have almost fallen.

When she was about to ask about the situation, Miss Joy took off her mask and said calmly: "Every organ in her body seems to have been burned by high temperature. Although she has recovered from these injuries for unknown reasons, it is simply a miracle, but

This has also led to other problems in the body. It should be caused by overwork, and there are also big problems with the mental state. I guess I haven’t had much rest for a long time, and I have been trying to support my body..."

"That……"

"Don't worry, the operation has been a perfect success. Don't bother her now. Just let her rest for a while. You can also chat with her after she wakes up. The most important thing is to calm her mental state.

.”

Miss Joy said with a smile. Although she didn't know what happened, she certainly knew Lusamine, so she guessed that it was probably caused by the accident in the Aetherland the night before yesterday.

For a person with such a sensitive identity, she also knows that it is best not to interfere with many things, and just do her best to save the person.

After saying this, she left directly. Lillie looked tired and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, now I can finally..."

Before she finished speaking, her body swayed slightly, and she relaxed instantly after the high tension, which made her body unable to bear it. Fortunately, Hoshino supported her and took her to a seat aside to rest.

"You should also have a good rest. I stayed here all night and didn't eat the food I brought you downstairs...I'm going to help you and the chairman make breakfast. No matter what time, your health is the most important!"

"Well...thank you, thank you for your hard work."

"How can we thank you for our relationship... Then just wait here for a while. If the chairman wakes up, remember to tell me."

After explaining some things, Hoshino can feel free to return to Kabukicho. He has been worried all night like Lillie, and his mental state is even worse than the other person. He has not rested since the day before yesterday...

He passed by the corridor and glanced at Lila, who was leaning against the wall and waiting all night. She also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he walked forward and asked: "What are you going to do next after the chairman recovers?"

Continue to capture her?"

"Absolutely. Although there is no evidence that can directly convict her yet, there is still no problem in taking her away for investigation. And the Etherland is like this, it is estimated that the evidence will be available in a few days, so you ask me what I want

Excuse her?"

Lila crossed her arms and responded aloud, as if she had seen through his thoughts. She had already been given the opportunity, but the law would not continue to give him opportunities.

Lusamine's crime was huge. Put aside the Ultra Beast aspect for now. Just buying Pokémon from a Pokémon hunter was enough to make her squat, let alone sell these Pokémon.

The Pokémon were frozen and used as collections. Although the evidence has not been found yet, once it is found, it can lead to a conviction.

"well……"

Hoshino had a headache and couldn't figure out why Lusamine had such a habit. It was too outrageous, but he had never told Lillie about these things.

After a moment of silence, he continued: "Let's not keep anyone under surveillance at the hospital. She won't escape. Let them have a good exchange of feelings..."

"..."

Lila took a deep look at him and then responded: "Okay, since you have helped us so many times, but don't play any tricks."

"rest assured."

Hoshino smiled calmly, promising that nothing would happen to him, and then left the hospital and released Milton. The Motorized Lizard looked like this, and it was hard to keep him out running around.

He stretched out his hand to touch Milton's head and murmured softly: "Is it really impossible to change back..."

"I'm hungry~Mile-Mile~"

"Don't you even scream like a lizard!"

"Mo Lizard?"

"Yes, this is the right call!"

Seeing Milton say "Mo Lizard" with a somewhat cold tone, Hoshino nodded with satisfaction and then rode up.

After the Motorcycle Lizard turned into a Milton, it no longer even needed a riding suit. It came with its own backrest and handlebars, and it became a bit larger, so it could seat more people.

"Let's go back to Kabukicho."

The other Pokémon all went home first, even New Leaf and Machade, mainly because they didn't like the atmosphere in the hospital very much.

When Hoshino sat firmly, Milton's tail was rolled up and wrapped in the flowing electric current. Electric current also popped out of his chest like an air bag, like a pair of electric wheels. His hind legs were folded up and turned into propellers, and his hands were grasping the front wheels.

Above, it looks like a real motorcycle!

"Changed to driving mode?"

Hoshino was very surprised. It seemed that the Motorized Lizard had indeed changed a lot, but it seemed that it could not return to its full mode. It might be that the effect of the three-in-one seasoning was not enough to completely restore its strength.

There are still many problems in this area, but he only has the last three-in-one seasoning plant left on his hands. It is impossible to use it for experiments. He can only wait for those roots to continue to grow and produce seasoning.

Milton ran with him on the street, attracting the curious gazes of many passers-by. The style of Milton's driving mode was so futuristic and technological that it was in sharp contrast to other vehicles around him.

But not long after, he was stopped by Miss Junsha: "Stop, stop, stop! Pull over!"

"Huh? I didn't commit any crime, right?"

Hoshino looked confused and parked his Milton on the side of the road. Miss Junsha immediately walked up and said with a serious expression: "It is illegal to modify a motorcycle privately and put it on the road. I will impound the car. Remember it later."

Go to the traffic control bureau to pay the fine!”

"Uh...what?"

"As a public figure in Alola, you should lead by example. Now many young people in Alola are learning from you..."

"No, this is not a motorcycle!"

Hoshino quickly changed Milton back to the restricted form. Only then did Miss Junsha realize that this was actually a Pokémon. Although it looked very similar to a Biker, she had never seen anything like it before, so she curiously asked: "That Pokémon of yours"

Has the Motorized Lizard evolved?"

"Well... you can think so!"

Hoshino was too lazy to explain. It was too troublesome to explain the paradox. After looking at Milerton carefully, Miss Junsha nodded: "You have learned a lot today, you can go."

"Well, thank you."

Seeing him riding away on Milton, Miss Junsha felt even more incredible: "This car is so handsome. Should I also tame a motorcycle lizard?"

After a while, Hoshino finally returned to the Wanderer neighborhood. Riding Milton on the road was so arrogant that he kept turning heads. Some people even chased him and asked him who had modified this car.

"Outrageous..."

Hoshino was left speechless. He finally drove to the door of the izakaya, but King Dude suddenly walked out. As if he was about to say that he was back, he also noticed Milton, and then said in surprise: "

Young man, what kind of car do you have?"

"My AE... is a motorcycle lizard!"

"Nonsense, do you think I don't know the Motorcycle Lizard? Please drive this car for me."

"..."

Hoshino was too lazy to talk to it anymore. After saying hello to the long-tailed fire fox and the blue flame blade ghost who also came out, he looked at the master room upstairs.

After a day, it has basically been restored to its original state. It is basically a wooden structure, which was repaired quickly. The only thing left is to buy back the damaged furniture and the broken signboard...

Millerton returned to the restricted form, and then went back upstairs with Hoshino. Looking at this scene, King Slow was even more surprised: "It's really a motorcycle lizard. I heard that the technology in the ultimate metropolis was developed in the past. This is what happened in the past."

Did you mechanically ascend by the way?"

"..."

Back upstairs, when I heard the noise, Xinye Meow immediately ran out and jumped on him.

"Meow~"

"Is everything okay at home?"

"Meow~"

The cats and cats are busy at home with some things after the restoration of the Wanshi House, trying to restore the home to the way it was before. Now they are almost busy. The only thing missing is the furniture and the like. Saifuhao has already spent money to find Pokémon to customize it.

.

The seasonings have been packed and planted back in the restored small attic. Gengar has rearranged and decorated some of the extra dolls. Marshado has also been helping, so everyone is not idle.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Hoshino patted the cat's head, and then walked in with Milton. Although it was a bit bigger, fortunately it could still fit in the house, but the sleeping nest needed to be changed.

"Mo Lizard..."

Millarton shook his head and said he didn't want to change. He had been sleeping in that nest for several years and had lost all his feelings.

"Okay."

It didn't want to change, so Hoshino certainly wouldn't force it. Then he caught Gengar who flew out of the living room and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Gengar~"

Gengar responded with a smile. They all went to Nai-chan's place to eat. Hoshino nodded and didn't need to worry anymore. Then he came to the living room and looked at Marshado huddled in the corner. He was slightly startled.

"What's wrong?"

"Ma..."

Machado pointed at the sofa and saw that Popper's dolphin took the opportunity to lie down on it and sleep again. When it turned over, you could see a green thing stuck to its belly, which looked like it had just been flattened.

"...Just pretend you didn't see it."

Hoshino chose to ignore it, but the slime monster jumped up instantly and was about to curse and yell, but was slapped away by the tail of the sleeping Popper dolphin.

"..."

The legendary Zygeld was repeatedly defeated by Pop Dolphin. Hoshino couldn't bear it, so he walked over and grabbed the ooze monster and asked: "What are you doing, come to my house..."

"I have a problem sleeping around?"

"No problem, but this is my home, so go sleep on the balcony. It's good for your health to get more sun."

"No, no, no, no...Kabukicho hasn't opened yet, so I have no place to play, so I'm sleeping here."

"Oh, then you can continue to sleep, and be honest and don't touch my things."

Hoshino put it back on Popper's dolphin, not bothering to care about what the other party thought. He still had things to do. After walking around the house, he took out the equipment from his bag and went to the kitchen to cook.

The ooze monster cursed and looked away, then jumped a few times on the popper's belly, using it as a spring bed. However, the next second it was pinned down by the flipping popper's dolphin...

With the prepared breakfast, Hoshino rode Milton out again, and soon arrived at the hospital. On the way, he received a message from Lillie.

Lusamine had woken up and was moved to a separate ward. Although Lila seemed to have abided by the agreement not to send anyone to monitor her, Hoshino still asked a friend for help to be on the safe side...

Walking into the ward, Lusamine was wearing a hospital gown on the bed. She was smiling for some reason and seemed very happy. Lillie was sitting beside the bed, also smiling.

“It’s time to have breakfast~”

"Um."

Lillie took the nutritious porridge specially cooked by Hoshino and fed it to her mother bit by bit. After tasting the taste, Lusamine said softly: "My cooking skills are very good..."

"I am the only one who supports the whole family. If I don't have good cooking skills, no one will eat them."

"You can see it."

After finishing breakfast, Lusamine looked obviously better. Then Lillie tidied up and was about to take out her share. She suddenly smiled and said: "Lilia, please go out for a while. I'll

There are some things that I need to talk to Hoshino alone."

"Huh? Okay."

Lillie glanced at Hoshino, then nodded, then took her breakfast and went outside the ward. When the door closed for a few seconds, the smile on Lusamine's face gradually dissipated, and then said: "Sit down, sit down

Just next to the bed."

"I think it's better to stand."

"You're quite outspoken..."

"It just doesn't feel right."

"Oh……"

Lusamine chuckled lightly and then asked, "You and Lillie are already dating, right?"

"Yes, yesterday morning."

Hoshino admitted it directly this time, and then asked: "Does the chairman disagree with me being with her?"

"What did you say!"

Lusamine showed a sneer, but did not continue the topic. Instead, she asked: "Is the international policeman still out there?"

"No, she promised me that she won't send anyone to monitor the chairman until he is discharged from the hospital."

"Just verbally agreeing? You are indeed a child, you can believe such words..."

"Don't worry, any surveillance or eavesdropping equipment here will not be able to record the content of our conversation, and I won't let them know."

Hoshino responded calmly. He had asked Mudan to directly take over the hospital's network on the way. Even a monitor placed alone in this room would be discovered.

Seeing that he was well prepared, Lusamine nodded with some satisfaction, and then said: "They have been investigating some of my things..."

"I know that now they are looking for evidence to convict you. Once the evidence is conclusive and all crimes are established, you may..."

Hoshino didn't finish speaking, but Lusamine knew it very well. After a brief silence, she asked softly: "You didn't tell Lillie this, did you?"

"No."

"That's good……"

Seeing Lusamine looking relieved, Hoshino asked calmly: "Don't you want to save her?"

"You still want to exonerate me?"

"No, I just don't want to see Lillie cry anymore, and as a mother, you don't want your child to cry for you, right?"

"..."

Lusamine didn't respond immediately. After a brief silence, she asked, "Speaking of your parents? I don't think I've heard of them."

"No, I grew up in an orphanage."

"Yeah……"

Lusamine nodded slightly, and then responded: "You are right... You can't let Lillie cry because of me. She and I still have an agreement, and at least we must complete this agreement now!"

She already had a plan in mind, and then asked: "So what's your plan?"

"Put the plan aside for now. Before that, I have another question to ask the chairman."

"Ask."

"Lilia told me before that she saw a bunch of Pokémon frozen in ice underground as collectibles. Is this true?"

"There is indeed..."

"This is the most important question. What's the point of doing this?"

"I like cute Pokémon and regard them as my children. After losing Morn, I want to tie everything around me more and more, especially my family, and I want to give them all my love..."

Lusamine paused for a moment, then said with a bitter tone: "Collecting these Pokémon is to make up for the emptiness that my excessive love couldn't express after Lillie went to school. But Lillie is right,

That is not love, but dominance, but I simply mistakenly thought that was love..."

"this……"

Hoshino couldn't help but shudder after hearing this, but then Lusamine smiled and said: "Don't worry, they are all still alive, I have been feeding them... As for why they should be frozen as collections, that's right

I hope they can stay as cute as they were when they were little and never grow up."

"..."

"But it's all over, so do you want to rescue all these Pokémon?"

"Yes, these Pokémon are the evidence to convict you, Chairman, and I also want to help them regain their freedom."

"Well, just go ahead and do it. I'll tell you where they are."

"Do you agree?"

"Otherwise? I'm worried that you will betray me?"

Lusamine glanced at him jokingly, then returned to her gentle smile and said, "I believe you, because Lillie also believes in you."

"You trust too much..."

Hoshino still felt that he couldn't understand the other party, but it was no problem now. There was still chaos in the Aetherland, and it was inconvenient for the international police to move. He could take advantage of the chaos to release all the Pokémon.

As for how to deal with it in the future, he has already thought about it. He will leave it to Wanshiwuwu to help. Those who want to go home will be sent back no matter where they are. Those who don’t want to go home can be left to the Ether Foundation to take care of them.

, after all, that’s what it’s for.

After sorting out the information, he thought of one more thing and asked: "Chairman, can you explain Xiao Xingyun's matter?"

"no problem."

Lusamine no longer cared, so she told her her plan along the way.

From the earliest days when the attribute: Sora was created to facilitate the capture of the ultimate beast, to the accidental capture of the injured Lunala a few years ago, and the knowledge of the Star Child and some things in the ultimate space.

It's a pity that Lunala couldn't take her to the ultimate space, so she collected some legends and found another Star Child hidden by the ancient Alola people!

"The other one?"

Hoshino was a little surprised. Lusamine nodded and continued to explain that in the past, the beast of the sun and moon actually gave birth to two star children and entrusted them to the royal family of the Kingdom of Alola to take care of them.

But after all, Lunayala had ruled Alola for a period of time in the past, which made them both fearful of the power of the Star Children and wanted to possess them. Subsequently, a civil strife broke out in the royal family.

The end result was that some people escaped with one Star Child, and the remaining people kept their promise and raised the other Star Child, and finally evolved into Lunala and left Alola.

However, the civil strife this time accelerated the disintegration of the kingdom. It didn't take long for the Alola Kingdom to be completely disintegrated, leaving only a few descendants. And because of these things, many things could not be preserved.

As for the people who escaped with the other Star Child, since the Flute of the Sun and Moon was guarded, they could only focus on the power left behind on the Sun Altar for safety by the Beast of the Sun and Moon.

It's a pity that these people couldn't defeat the guarding overlord, and their hopes were dashed. The remaining people were hunted down by people from the kingdom, so they could only seal the Star Children in the reverse world and let future generations find them.

Lusamine accidentally obtained this part of the legend, and successfully brought Little Nebula out of the reverse world, preparing to train her into Solgaleo and take her to the ultimate space.

But a few years ago, Necrozma appeared for the first time in the sky above Etherium. The opponent's powerful strength made her change her mind again, and she also learned about the existence of the Great God of Glory from the legend.

A few months ago, she took advantage of the fluctuations in the ultimate space and used the ultimate beast to communicate several times. Finally, she got a response from Necrozma and successfully reached cooperation with him...

This is the whole story. Hoshino also didn’t expect that little Nebula was really the child of the star. It seems that he and Lunala are still siblings?

"It's a bit messy...let me sort it out."

Looking at his expression, Lusamine smiled softly and said, "That's almost it. Is there anything else you want to ask? While I haven't been taken away, I can answer whatever you want to ask.

"

"I have nothing to ask for now..."

Hoshino was ready to leave now. He would get it done as soon as possible and come back early. Then he looked at the hospital bed and said, "Chairman, you should have a good rest recently and spend more time chatting with Lillie, and..."

Before she finished speaking, Lusamine frowned slightly and said in a reproachful tone: "You still call me chairman? Should you change your words?"

"What?"

"From now on, just call me the same as Lillie. You can just call me mother or mom~"

"..."

Seeing Lusamine say this in a playful way, Hoshino's brain shut down for a few seconds before he finally realized that the other party agreed with him and Lillie!

"Um...this..."

"Aren't you used to it? Take your time, but I hope you won't do something unfriendly to you because I tried to stop you, and then you will do something to Lillie because of it, and what happened in the beginning?

About... I'm sorry..."

With that said, Lusamine seemed to be about to stand up and apologize, but was stopped by Hoshino. Then he smiled and said: "How long has it been? Don't care about this. You'd better have a good rest now. I will take care of it."

Lillie’s.”

Being supported by him and lying down again, Lusamine smiled happily and said softly: "Lilie may be the most lucky in her life to meet you. Thank you for taking care of her for so long...

…”

"Well, meeting her is also the greatest luck for me~"

…

Coming out of the ward, Lillie had already finished breakfast with Howler Tail and the others, and was waiting aside. Seeing him smiling, she asked curiously: "What did you and mother talk about? You are so happy..."

"There's nothing to talk about. If you want to know, you can ask her yourself."

Hoshino responded with a smile, and then said that he still had something to do and needed to leave for a while. Lillie suddenly showed a resentful expression, and then regained her composure and said: "Be careful on the way, I will continue to take care of my mother and rest here."

"Um."

After watching Hoshino leave, Lillie walked into the ward again, but then Lusamine suddenly called out softly: "Liliae, lend me your phone."

"Huh? Okay."

Hoshino didn't know what happened behind the ward, but at the corner to the elevator, he met an acquaintance with a dog hiding here.

"What are you doing? Why don't you go in and take a look? Your mother and sister are both inside."

"Do you need to worry about what I do?"

Gladion responded coldly with a straight face, then turned around and took the elevator to leave.

Watching the elevator door close, Hoshino shook his head. He could see that the other party really wanted to visit the ward, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

"By the way...I haven't entered the elevator yet!"

After a moment, after leaving the hospital, Gladion was no longer seen. Hoshino ignored him and rode Milerton directly to the port area. Under the guise of participating in the rescue, he easily got on the ship to the Ether Paradise.

.

Due to the accident there, tourists are not allowed to go there these two days, but for him, Alola Stars Within Stars, just swiping his face is enough.

After arriving at the Aether Paradise and saying hello to some of the trainers participating in the rescue, he prepared to follow the location provided by Lusamine and find the hidden collection room.

But just when he took the elevator to the first floor, Bigui suddenly ran over with someone and shouted: "Chairman, you are finally back!"

"What the hell?" Hoshino turned around and looked around, wondering: "Where is the chairman?"

"Actually, the chairman just called us to tell us that she is temporarily unable to appear due to some reasons, and she also plans to resign as chairman and let you serve as the new chairman."

Biko smiled and explained. To her, this was the test Lusamine gave her son-in-law. Now that such an accident happened in the Aether Paradise, it was a very good time to test it!

But for Hoshino, this is like being betrayed by her mother-in-law. The other party does not want to drag the Aether Foundation into trouble, so as long as she resigns to recuperate and disappear for a few days, then no one will continue to pay attention to her, but will focus on herself.

.

After all, it means a lot to suddenly rise to power at such a critical time, and he is also a public figure in Alola, known to many people, so it is best to attract attention.

"This is really..."

Hoshino didn't even know what to say, but since this was the case, he would just let it go. Anyway, Lusamine was just using him as a shield, and then delayed her until she was discharged from the hospital to solve the rest of the matter.

Looking at Bi Ke and the others in front of him, he thought for a while and said: "Let's continue to participate in the rescue first. Rescuing wild Pokémon is itself the responsibility of our Aether Foundation. There may be a group of Pokémon later, and you are also responsible for it.

Take care of it, as for the rest, let’s talk about it later, I have something else to do.”

"receive!"

Biko immediately took the others into action, but Zaobo, who was hiding in the dark, stared at Hoshino and almost bit off his handkerchief.

He has worked hard for so many years to reach the position of branch leader, but there is someone in front of him who has climbed to the top in one step. Is this the difference between people...

After sending these people away, Hoshino immediately went to the back of the mansion. After some exploration, he found the entrance to Lusamine's room, and then went down to the collection room.

"It's really a bit cold..."

Feeling the chill, he looked at the frozen Pokémon around him. It was a bit hard to accept at first glance, but knowing that these Pokémon were still alive, they were just frozen in a sleep state and could be alive and kicking when unfrozen.

Still acceptable.

Unfortunately, just when he was about to start taking action, Lila's voice suddenly came from behind...

"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

"Does the police officer like to follow around so much?"

Hoshino raised his hands. Unexpectedly, he was still being followed. He turned around, looked at Lila who was alone, and asked calmly: "You are the only one? Don't you have any men with you?"

"I alone am enough."

Lila still had the cold attitude. While staring at him, she also looked around with her peripheral vision, and then said: "Thank you for leading me to find the evidence. I didn't expect that people can be so cruel."

"The white and fat ones we raised are still alive. Next, they will be taken care of by the Ether Foundation. How wonderful."

Seeing Hoshino say these words, she sighed softly and asked: "Do you really want to choose to excuse Lusamine? You know the seriousness of these things! If you choose to excuse, you will be considered an accomplice!"

"I'm not that great..."

Hoshino slowly put down his hand and said slowly: "I just want my beloved girl to be accompanied by her mother, that's all!"

After the words fell, he took out the elf ball and threw it. Milerton appeared instantly. Before Lila could take out the elf ball, she was thrown to the ground.

"This strange Pokémon..."

Lila couldn't get away at all, and then Hoshino's lazy voice continued: "I'm sorry, can you pretend you didn't see what's going on here?"

"..."

Listening to the voice, Lila, who seemed to be very angry at first, suddenly showed a soft smile, and was pressed to the ground like this. She smiled and said: "If I really wanted to find evidence, I wouldn't come here alone. I just want it."

Look at your determination and thoughts, for the girl you love...that's great."

"..."

Hoshino waved his hand and signaled Milton to let go of him. Lila stood up, rubbed her shoulders, and then said with a smile: "Then I'll just pretend I didn't see it. Now that you have solved this incident in Alola, I can finally

An exchange where you can go home for the holidays at the end of the year!”

"Don't die suddenly."

"Don't worry, I will take at least half a year off this time."

Lila turned around and waved. As she was leaving, she looked back with a smile and said, "I feel like I will see you on the news more often in the future. Behave well~"

"Don't worry!"

Watching Lila leave, Hoshino shook his head, feeling that there were indeed a lot of strange people around him. Then he looked at Milton who was walking back and asked: "Is it cold to stay here?"

"Mo Lizard~"

Millarton shook his head. After it became like this, it was no longer afraid of the cold. It just felt a little hungry and wanted to eat a sandwich.

"Okay, I'll make it for you when I get back, but there's only one seasoning left, so I can't add any more."

"Mo Lizard~"

Then Hoshino began to defrost the collection room. There was a one-button defrost switch, which was quite fast. Soon a Pikachu popsicle turned back into Pikachu, but he was still dreaming and did not wake up.

Then the other Pokémon were thawed one after another, but they were all still asleep. Fortunately, Lusamine also explained that there was a mechanism here that could activate the elevator and go directly to the mansion above.

After a while, the elevator went up to the backyard of the mansion, and finally the first unfrozen Pikachu woke up and looked around in confusion.

It didn't seem to understand the situation. After looking around for a week, it started crying.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Hoshino hurried over to check the situation, but was stunned to the ground by a hundred thousand volts. Then other Pokémon around him woke up one after another, and almost all started crying in unison.

"What's going on?"

He couldn't understand and couldn't comfort him at all. Fortunately, at this moment, Lillie suddenly made a video call, but it was Lusamine on the other side.

"Oh, it looks like you have thawed them. Aren't these children so cute? They cry when I'm not around~"

"What the hell?"

"As I said, I have always taken care of them as my own children. After all, they are babies when I bring them back, and they all regard me as their closest relative. Plus, the reason why I freeze them and prevent them from growing up..."

"Kindergarten, right?"

Hoshino finally understood that these Pokémon regarded Lusamine as their mother, and their affection was very deep, and no one would want to leave here.

But now he is the one who has a headache. Who can withstand throwing you into a kindergarten where all the children are crying? At this time, Lusamine said with a smile: "I'll ask you to help take care of it."

"Hello……"

Before she finished speaking, the call was hung up. Lillie took her phone back with a worried expression: "Isn't this a little too much..."

After hearing this, Lusamine disagreed and said with a smile: "Let him be more skilled in raising children, so that he will not marry you and have children in the future, and he will not even be able to raise children!"

"Marriage... It's too early to talk about this. We just started dating... and..."

Lillie's cheeks turned slightly red, and she was almost speechless due to shyness. Moreover, she was still taken care of by Hoshino, who was very good at taking care of children.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Lusamine reached out her hand and stroked her face gently, and asked, "Have you decided on a day when I can go shopping with you?"

"After my mother recovers, I can do it any day as long as I have time!"

"Okay~"

…

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and the international police had not found any evidence, so news came out that Hoshino had become the new chairman of the Ethereum Foundation.

Regardless of whether it was the Alola region or other regions, almost everyone who paid attention to this aspect was greatly surprised.

As the largest company in a region, it's okay to change the leader if he wants to, but this new person's status is too special.

But Hoshino didn't bother to care about this. He was almost going crazy from being tortured by these kindergartens. He brought the Wanshiwu family over to play with them. New Leaf's fur was even pinched several times by Pikachu, and he had to hold it back.

Fortunately, another week passed, and Lusamine finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital. However, she did not immediately return to the Aether Paradise which was being repaired. Instead, she took her daughter to the shopping street to buy clothes and eat.

They had fun, but Hoshino was still being tortured in the Aether Paradise. Fortunately, he also brought a bunch of Aether Foundation members along with him to be tortured.

A few days later, after receiving news from the Space Research Institute that the fluctuations in the ultimate space gradually stabilized, the international police finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lila was also ready to leave, as were everyone else, including Gladion. He had gone through so much, and after Lusamine's matter was resolved, he had decided to continue on the path of international police.

He did not return to Etherland, nor did he visit his mother and sister again, but on the day when he was about to leave with his colleagues in the port area of ​​Hauole City, Lusamine came here in person...

Seeing her appear at the port, Gladion still had a straight face and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Come see you off."

"..."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Lusamine lowered her head in self-reproach and said, "I'm sorry, I owe you so much..."

"Now that things have happened, it is meaningless to say this. If you feel you owe me, then just stay with Lillie and take my share with you..."

After saying this calmly, Gladion turned around and boarded the boat with his colleagues. Lusamine stood there, under the sunset, like a mother watching her child leave home to pursue a career.

Watching the boat slowly start to move, she smiled, waved her hand over there, and shouted: "Remember to pay attention to safety when working outside, and remember to call home if you are lonely. I believe that one day in the future, our family...

…We will definitely reunite!”

Listening to his mother's voice, Gladion squatted on the deck and gently stroked the Silver Beast's hair. After a long silence, a smile appeared on his face.

And just over at the port, Lillie and Hoshino were standing together, watching this scene with a smile.

After waiting for the boat to gradually disappear at the end of the dusk, looking at Lusamine who was still staying in the same place, Lillie smiled and waved her hands and shouted: "Let's go home together, mother~"

"Well, here we come!"
