Chapter 96

Pokémon Hunter, your grandma, your aunt, and your dad have come to see you.

Your teammate is hiding in the restroom, so the problem now is how to escape and reunite with them.

After some thought, Lillie made a decision.

She tidied her hair to make herself look more like her mother, took a pen from her senior's breast pocket, stuffed her own phone into someone else's pocket to avoid being exposed during a body search, and then raised her hand in the crowd like a student in class.

Make a simple, unpretentious, and seemingly perfectly normal request.

"Pokémon Hunter J, may I go to the restroom?" Lillie called out.

As the chairperson of the Aether Foundation and Lusamine's daughter, she knows some of her mother's unspeakable secrets, including that her mother has repeatedly collaborated with Pokémon hunters, paying her to help capture the Pokémon she needs.

Among them, Pokémon Hunter J is her mother's favorite collaborator. No matter if it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or can't fly, as long as the money is enough, she will find a way to get it. Her professional skills are far ahead of her peers.

As the chairperson of the Ether Foundation, besides her stunning figure, temperament, and looks, Lusamine has only one most prominent characteristic.

Rich, rich, damn rich.

As long as I can get what she wants, the price doesn't matter; it's just a number.

Now take my money, shut up, and get out of here!

If the other generous bosses are the financial backers of Pokémon Hunters, then Lusamine is the mother of those financial backers!

Your grandma's here.

The moment Pokémon Hunter J saw Lillie, he was taken aback. Why did she look like an old friend?

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the daughter of an old friend.

So he quickly ordered his subordinates to leave, not even bothering to question why Lillie had broken free from the hypnosis.

"Don't lay a hand on her! Bring her to me."

The daughter of the sugar daddy's grandmother is the sugar daddy's aunt. If she gets hurt, her financial income this year will be reduced by half.

This trip had already left him penniless, with only his life hanging by a thread.

"Are you Ms. Lusamine's daughter?" Pokémon Hunter J asked, sizing up Lillie. "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't you bring me here?" Lillie tugged at her white lab coat, revealing the research center's badge on the chest, and questioned, "I'm a student at the research center too!"

"I don't care what others do, now, immediately, let me leave!" Lillie mimicked her mother's tone, trying to refute the other party with her imposing manner.

But I refuse!

The Pokémon hunters had originally intended to say this, but now that they were only one step away from withdrawing from Donghuang, this unexpected turn of events could have unpredictable consequences.

So today, no matter you're Rosamund's daughter, or even Rosamund herself, you're not leaving!

But just then, she received a phone call.

It's Rosamund herself!

No, you're really coming!

"Hiss~" Pokémon Hunter J gasped. You and your daughter must have conspired together.

As soon as the call connected, the Pokémon hunter was greeted by a cacophony of birdsong and fragrant flowers, accompanied by a chorus of swear words from over a dozen different countries. The swearing was skillful, elegant, and unpleasant to hear.

The noise made her remove her mask, and she stayed there until the crazy woman finished venting her emotions and calmed down.

"Releasing Lillie now, immediately, right now, and sending someone to take her home! Otherwise, I'll have the entire Aether Foundation blow up your spaceship right now! I'll scatter your ashes everywhere."

"I'm sorry, ma'am, there may be some misunderstanding between us. I'll send someone to escort Miss home right away."

The Pokémon hunter wore a fawning smile befitting his reputation as a top seller.

"Don't you dare hurt a single hair on Lillie's head, or you know what will happen."

"Lillie, remember to call your mom when you get home."

After saying that, Lusamine hung up the phone.

Upon hearing her mother's voice, Lillie immediately changed her mind, sat down on the ground, and began to act like a rogue: "Who said I was leaving? I'm a member of the research center. Unless you release everyone else, I won't leave, even if it kills me."

"It's not up to you!" The Pokémon hunter sneered, calling over several female hunters. "You lot, take this young lady home."

Seeing that several people were about to forcibly take him away, he took a step back, took out a pen from his pocket, removed the cap, and pressed the hard, cold nib against his neck.

"If you dare take another step closer, I'll stab you with my pen. I'm going to leave Donghuang with you until everyone at the research center is safely home."

Although Lillie's arms and voice were trembling, the determination in her eyes was undeniable.

"This is like bringing back a living mythical beast!" J's forehead twitched slightly. She was already under a lot of pressure from the Eastern Alliance, but who would have thought she would also provoke this mother and daughter.

Could there be other experts next?

"Then forget it." After hesitating for a moment, J finally relented. At worst, he would be treated to good food and drink once he boarded the spaceship.

"There's one more thing," Lillie continued, her legs pressed together and rubbing slightly, her cheeks flushed, as she whispered, "I need to go to the restroom; it's urgent."

"You, take her to the spaceship..." Pokémon Hunter J was just about to have his second-in-command take Lillie to the spaceship to deal with it, but then he was worried that Lillie might cause trouble on the spaceship. At least from her behavior, she was not an honest person.

It's best to be cautious.

"Take her to the airport restroom, keep a close eye on her, and don't leave her side for a moment."

In any case, Lillie's goal is to protect the safety of the hostages, so she can't possibly escape. In fact, J would love for Lillie to turn around and run away.

So, under the watchful eye of her Pokémon hunter assistant, Lillie walked ahead of the two, holding a pen in her hand, carefully crossing the airport, passing through the glass doors, and entering the hall. The entire hall was silent, as if even the surveillance cameras had been turned off.

They didn't seem to be hiding anyone, and went straight to the first-floor restroom.

Lillie pushed open the door, looked around, but found nothing. She walked expressionlessly to the innermost stall in the washroom.

The assistant followed her inside. On the wall behind her, a small, chubby purple hand gently pushed the bathroom door and then quietly closed it.

"Bang!"

The door to one of the cubicles opened, and the deputy trembled in fright. Just as he was about to send a message to J, he saw a Machoke jump out from inside, turn its back to him, and inexplicably lean against the wall twice.

What's going on here?

In the moment of distraction, a Poké Ball emerged from the shadows beneath her feet, and a long-haired troll crawled out, grasping her hands. Its long black fur coiled around her body, deftly removing all her equipment.

There's an ambush!

At the critical moment, the second-in-command threw off the Poké Ball from his waist, and a Hydreigon emerged from it. This was because his Poké Ball had been confiscated by the Eastern Alliance, and all of their Pokémon were obtained from the research center.

"A three-headed dragon, a dragon swooping down."

Okay, I'm going!

The three-headed dragon had just opened its mouth, raised its head, and was about to roar when it saw a small, seemingly harmless figure standing upside down on the ceiling.

Tears welled up in my eyes from fright.

You are not allowed to rush in!

Before the three-headed dragon could react, the Mimikyu, stacked with sword dance, descended from the sky and unleashed its Shadow Claw. In an instant, with a single swipe, all three of the three-headed dragon's heads were buried in the ground.

"Goblin!" After Mimikyu successfully suppressed Hydreigon, Gengar chuckled and emerged from the shadows. Its chubby little hands reached into the body of the hairy troll, and after fiddling around for a while, the hairy troll spat out its second hand.

At this moment, the deputy was blindfolded, had a small ball stuffed in his mouth, his arm was handcuffed behind his back with a pink shackle, and his body was tied with red rope. He was lying on the ground in a position that would not pass censorship.

Under Lillie's astonished gaze, Marie emerged from the toilet stall, picked up the Poké Ball from the ground, and captured the Hydreigon that had been knocked to its knees by Mimikyu, handing it to Wei Xin, who had removed its suit.

The enemy's combat strength decreases by one, while our effective combat strength increases by one!

"Wei Xin." Seeing Wei Xin's face, Lillie felt inexplicably at ease. Her taut nerves suddenly snapped, and as if all her strength had been drained, she collapsed to the ground.

Wei Xin quickly stepped forward and, together with Marie, helped up his teammate who was fighting the Pokémon hunter alone, giving her a reassuring smile: "Sorry, Lillie, but you'll have to work hard a bit more from now on."
