CHAPTER 131 – MY NEW MAID

In the previous chapter we see how our hero were with Lillie, so they decide to watch a movie, however, during the afternoon, Ash asks about Lillie's family and she tells him everything she had lived so far, so Ash promises her that he will undoubtedly find her father.

...

With Ash.

"Because i lik.." – i was going to say.

But suddenly, the Rotom Dex started to sound and the romantic scene I had managed to create was completely spoiled, damn it, I hope this is important!

Angry I took the Rotom Dex and picked it up.

"Who are you?" – I asked trying to calm down.

"Hi, it's me Ash, are you free? i need to tell you something" – asked Looker.

Damn you Looker! Why didn't you wait 5 more minutes to call?!

In my mind i was angry and Lillie seemed to be a little angry too, but her embarrassment won out against her anger and she just went to the kitchen, she said that she was going to make something to eat while I was on the phone.

"Moreo or less... is something wrong?" – I asked calmly.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten about your friend Courtney?" - asked Looker.

And suddenly I remembered, I remembered the whole adventure of when we infiltrated in Team Magma and everything we had been through.

"Yes, I remember her, is something wrong with her?" – I asked curiously.

"Yes, her trial has already end and I called you to inform you about her sentence" - Looker said.

"What will happen to her?" - I said in a hurry.

"They have not been very harsh, considering what she has done, her contribution to the police and your personal request, Courtney has been sentenced to a year in jail" - Looker said.

"No, she doesn't deserve jail, they can't lock her up!" – I exclaimed angrily.

She's a good person, she doesn't deserve to go to prison.

"Calm down and listen to me" - Looker said calmly.

"Is there anything else?" – I asked trying to calm down.

"Yes, although she has been sentenced to 1 year in prison, she can get rid of it by doing a year of community services" – he answered.

"Well... That's better" – I breathed a sigh of relief.

"But that's not the best, since you advocated for her, she will perform community services for you" - Looker said.

"For me, what do you mean?" – I asked in confusion.

"She will be your maid for a whole year" - Looker said.

"My maid, why?!" – I asked nervously.

It's not that I'm complaining, but at least I need to know the reason.

"Because you standed up for her" - he replied.

"But this isn't a reason" - I said confused.

"Well, there is not much to say, the judge said that since you standed up for her the only way to get out of jail is to be your maid, so I will say it clearly, there are two options, the first is that she goes to jail and the second is that she becomes your maid for a whole year" - Looker said.

I guess there's no choice, I don't want that girl to go to jail.

"Okay, I agree, she can be my maid" - I nodded.

"Perfect, now we can talk about the second part of this whole conversation" - Looker said.

"Is there still more?" – I asked in surprise.

"Yes, since Courtney will be your maid for a year she will be fitted with a device that will make her unable to move away from you more than 5 km away" - Looker agreed.

"What, is this really necessary?" – I asked confused.

"Remember that it is her sentence but do not worry, you will be installed in the Rotom Dex an App that will indicate what is the distance to which it is and if it is more than 5 km from you, it will automatically make a call to the Police, it is that or go to jail, I leave you the choice" - said Looker.

I didn't see his expression, but he sure was smiling, well, Courtney is beautiful and having her as a maid for a year is not bad at all.

"Well, I accept everything, I just have one last question" – I said.

"Go ahead" - said Looker.

"If she had not provided any information and i had not standed up for her, what would be her sentence?" – I asked curiously.

I want to know what is the original sentence.

"The law is very strict on these issues, I will say it clearly, without the information and your intervention Courtney's sentence would have been 10 to 15 years in prison, so I guess she's lucky" - Looker said.

Good luck I would say.

"Then now that you've agreed I'll go to the judge and explain the situation to let her out" - Looker said.

"When will she arrives? I have to inform the owners of the house" – I asked curiously.

"What, aren't you traveling?" - asked Looker.

It's true that I told him I was going to Alola but I never told him where I would stay.

"The truth is that I will start the island challenge in less than two weeks, I will wait for the girls to come and I am also working as a teacher in a summer academy" – I explained.

"Who was going to say, the champion of the Indigo League teaching at a Summer Academy" – sighed Looker.

"Professor Kukui needed someone and Professor Oak told him that I would be a good teacher and one thing led to another and here I am, teaching" - I explained.

"Anyway, now that you tell me that... will they accept another tenant in their house and what excuse will you give them?" - asked Looker.

"I don't think they will reject it, they have rooms to spare and they are always saying they want more people in the house, and as for your second question... I was thinking of telling them the half-truth" - I said.

"Ash, this is a secret police operation, you can't tell the truth to civilians even if they're trustworthy" - Looker said seriously.

"I know, that's why I will say that she is a criminal who tried to carry out a kidnapping but she repented at the last moment and decided to help them to escape" - I said.

I know it's not the best excuse, but better to say that than the truth.

"And what will you say to them if they ask you what are you involve in this whole story? That excuse is too vague, it won't works" - Looker denied.

"I know it's not the best excuse, but I can always say that we were the kidnapped" - I suggested.

"It won't works" - Looker denied.

"What do you propose then? I can't think of any other idea" - I said.

And it's true, this is the only thing I can think of, I know it's a bad excuse, but how do you explain to everyone what happens and who is she? It is literally impossible to invent anything else.

Hearing my question, Looker was silent for a while.

"Are you still there, Looker?" – I asked, believing the call had been cut off.

"You said you're staying at Professor Kukui's house?" asked Looker.

"That's right" – I nodded.

"Isn't Professor Kukui Professor Burnet's husband?" – Looker asked again.

"I thought you already knew, being a policeman you should know" – I nodded.

"I can't know everything but I know something, Professor Burnet is one of our collaborators in the Alola region" - Looker said.

"Collaborator, really?" – I asked in amazement.

"That's right, Professor Burnet works secretly for the International Police" - Looker confirmed.

What the hell?! This is too far removed from anime and even video games!

"But what does it collaborate on? I understood that there is an evil team called Team Skull, is it because of them?" – I asked curiously.

"Team Skull, you mean those people who are bothering Alola lately? We have them under control and we know that they do not have any specific objective, at the moment they are completely harmless, it is not because of them "– denied Looker.

"Then by whom?" – I asked curiously.

"The Aether Paradise" - replied Looker.

"What, why are you guarding the Aether Paradise?" – I asked feigning ignorance.

Obviously I already knew why and if being a reincarnated was not enough, Lillie just told me everything before.

"The Aether Paradise are making some suspicious movements and we also know that they are trying to build a device capable to open Ultra Wormholes" - Looker said.

"Do you think Team Rainbow Rocket are involved?" – I asked seriously.

"We've looked into that possibility and we're pretty sure that yes, they're probably involved" - Looker agreed.

"But I don't understand, they already possess the ability to travel through dimensions, so why give them help, what do they want in return?" – I asked confused.

If they can already travel through dimensions, why they help Lusamine?

"We don't know that much but we can make sure they're working together" - Looker said.

I suppose if they knew why they wouldn't be watching them, but would have intervened by now.

"Back to the subject, you can tell them, I trust you Ash, I know you would never tell anyone who was not trustworthy and considering that the Professor is a collaborator I do not think there is a problem, but please Ash, make sure they will not say anything, if Team Rainbow Rocket find out that they know about them ... they could even go for their families, keep that in mind, they already know we're looking for them" - Looker said very seriously.

I know I shouldn't but there's no way to explain to Lillie and Selene about Courtney, so I'll tell them the truth, either way, I'm sure they'll soon become my family, if you know what I mean.

"Thank you for trusting me, I promise I won't let you down" – I nodded seriously.

"Well, I take your word for it, now tell me which island of Alola you're staying on" - Looker said.

"Melemele Island" - I replied.

"Perfect, tomorrow at 14:00 PM at the airport Courtney will arrive escorted by two policemen who will be dressed in civilian clothes, they already know how you are, just try to come alone" - said Looker.

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow" – I nodded.

"And having said that, I'm saying goodbye for the time being, I have to go talk with the judge" - Looker said.

"Goodbye" – I said goodbye.

"Goodbye" - Looker said.

And then he hung up on me.

Well now I have to think how I'm going to tell them everything, after all to say that you are working as a police is not exactly easy.

"Ash, I have already prepared something to eat, you can come to the table, by the way, wake up Latias, Pikachu and the others, I have also prepared food for them... is something wrong with you?" – said Lillie confused.

"Yes, but don't worry, it's nothing serious and I'll tell you all about it over dinner" - I nodded.

"As long as it's nothing serious..." – said Lillie.

After this I went to the room, woke up my Pokémon and after taking some food to those who were in the garden, the rest of us enjoyed a nice family meal.

...

Several hours later.

The rest of the day passed normally and nothing important happened, only that I could not concentrate too much because I kept turning my head to see how I will tell everyone that I was working as a police, at least I hope that the professor Burnet takes pity on me and helps me.

Where was i right now? Well, I had just set the table and we were already having dinner, so it was time to say everything... quiet Ash, you can.

"Attention, I have to say something to you and I hope you can hear me" – I said suddenly.

Seeing my serious expression, everyone looked at me somewhat worriedly.

"Is something wrong with you?" - asked Selene worriedly.

"It's nothing, I'd just like to say that I'm not only a Pokémon trainer, but I'm also a policeman" - I said without thinking.

Everyone was astonished at my words.
