Chapter 610 Lillie

...

The next day.

"You probably won't have to deal with those hunters again."

Joanna said to Natsu, who had just wake up and was sitting in the living room having breakfast.

Hearing this, Natsu's fork stopped slightly while stirring the noodles.

Then still too fast or too slow and put in the mouth.

It wasn't until he took the first bite that he said, "Someone did it first?"

"en." Joana nodded.

There are nine person in this competition. The two hunters who also landed on Ula'ula Island have been sent "home" by Natsu.

It also includes one of Tom Ritchie's person, who should have been sent to her chair.

Just looking at this, the plan that Natsu had accomplished by Miss Q was almost halfway done.

"How many are left?" he asked.

"According to the news from the Team Skull, there should be two people left besides you."

Natsu, nodded "That means there's no need to fight?"

"If the information is correct, that is yes."

Knock, knock, knock

Natsu knocked on the edge of the table as usual, took a tissue on the table, wiped his mouth.

"Who are the other two?"

Joanna pursed her lips, looking slightly doubtful.

She didn't say it, and Natsu probably understood.

Probably all of Tom Ritchie's persons.

This is not surprising.

"I know."

Natsu didn't say if she would do it next, but just said he knew, then saw Eevee and Vulpix, who are lying on the table and eating Pokéblocks carefree.

The two young child are still having fun.

"By the way, the last few days you were away, the people from the Aether Foundation sent a message, I hope you can go to the Aether House again." Joanna glanced at the snow white Vulpix and said.

The first time she saw Vulpix in Alola's form, she was also very surprised.

This kind of Pokémon, if nothing else, if it can be sold outside, it can definitely be auctioned at sky-high prices because of its rarity and rarity.

It's just that she didn't know where Natsu got it from.

But seeing that Natsu didn't want to sell it, Joanna didn't say anything.

"Well, I'll be there later."

Natsu responded.

Natsu isn't surprised that the Aether Foundation is looking for him back.

If he guessed correctly, the last time Lusamine had left in a hurry, it was probably Faba who was looking for instant profit opening an Ultra Wormhole.

Lusamine, who saw Nihilego's picture, will definitely come back to him.

"How is the guild branch building on the black market side?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter, although it won't take long, but many people have registered their identity, some tasks have been released according to your requirements, and some believe that the results will come soon."

Talking about the branch guild, a smile appeared on Joanna's face.

Even though Natsu hasn't gotten his seat yet, it's a bit overkill to build his branch.

But nothing could bring him here.

The results are still very good.

Apart from the seven core members they brought along, there were already a dozen Outer Members who had completed their identity registration.

And the number is still growing.

These people were all local residents of the Alola Region, so don't worry too much about their identities.

Joanna, As the person in charge of this work, she also felt the strength of the local guild.

In general.

Very good.

Perhaps when the Alola Region opened up in the future, Hunters Guild hunters would have scattered throughout the Alola Region.

At that time.

Even if other seats wanted to take over this region, it would not be an easy task.

At least see if Natsu wants to.

Natsu has taken the lead.

Of course.

Currently the only affected area is Ula'ula Island.

"Continue to increase the intensity of the tasks, and you can properly reward more tasks, and you don't have to worry about funds. After all, there were already three people. "

Natsu picked up Vulpix and stroked its soft, cool fur.

In a relatively hot natural environment like Alola, holding an Alola Vulpix is ​​the same as holding a moving air conditioner.

"en."

Joanna thought so too.

"But." He hesitated again.

"What?"

"Our presence has attracted the attention of the Team Skull and the police on Ula'ula Island, especially the Team Skull," said Joanna.

Ula'ula Island is home to the Skulls.

For the Hunters' Guild to thrive on Ula'ula Island, there needed to be a conflict of interest with the Team Skull.

But that's no big deal.

The Hunter's Guild has the ability to be compatible with other factions. After all, all they want is to make money.

It was the police from Ula'ula Island who made Natsu wary.

Merdan from Ula'ula Island is the chief of police.

If it caught Merdan's attention, it would have a bigger impact on their development.

"I'll take care of it, let them do things a bit simpler."

"Okay."

End breakfast.

Now that he wasn't in a rush to take on the competitors, Natsu was happy about that.

To meet the young lady!

No, young and mature!

The Aether Foundation still takes Natsu seriously.

Until setting up the plane at Aether House after he said he was leaving today.

From the helicopter window, he saw an approaching artificial island.

Have to sigh.

To be able to build a high-tech artificial island in a place like Alola, which is similar to a village in the Pokémon world, the Aether Foundation's ability to build new "rural areas" can be said.

When the helicopter lands.

The familiar Wicke was waiting on the tarmac, followed by several Aether Foundation staff in white tights.

However, Natsu was taken aback.

This time it wasn't just Wicke, there was also a middle-aged man with green hair and green glasses, with his head tilted forty-five degrees, looking extremely frivolous and arrogant.

Faba.

Didn't expect him to come too.

"Mr Yanxia." Seeing Yanxia get off the plane, Wicke walked over with a smile.

"Miss Wicke." Natsu also moved towards her politely nodding.

"Let me introduce, this is Faba, our Minister of Scientific Research Foundation today." Wicke introduced.

"Mr Faba." Natsu greeted him with a smile.

Faba just glanced at Natsu and kept tilting his head.

"Mr. Yanxia,​don't mind him."

Wicke wasn't surprised by this, and walked towards the interior of Aether Paradise, facing Natsu.

Even though Natsu already knew what kind of person Faba was.

However, his shameless humiliation was still somewhat unpleasant.

But Natsu didn't say anything, still smiling nodding.

"Chief is waiting for you for a long time."

Following Wicke, surrounded by a group of Aether Foundation staff, they entered the interior of Aether Paradise.

Although Natsu felt he had paid enough attention to the Aether Foundation.

But when he actually entered Aether Paradise, he was still a bit shocked.

Not only high-tech facilities in it.

Also because of the people in it.

The Aether Foundation has its own Combat Unit.

Don't say anything more.

Among the people who followed Wicke to greet him this time, there were some people who made Natsu feel a bit dangerous.

So.

Don't look at the Aether Foundation Executives.

However, the power of the Aether Foundation cannot be underestimated

at least.

It is incomparable to a flamboyant organization like the Team Skull.

Quick.

They entered the inner area of ​​Aether Paradise and came to Lusamine's office.

Larger office with similar furniture to the Aether House office.

Seeing Natsu still, Lusamine who was sitting on the chair, her eyes lit up.

"Mr Yanxia."

Natsu took off his hat and bowed slightly, "Chief Lusamine."

Wicke walked over to Lusamine's side, she also served as an assistant.

Faba curled his lips indifferently at Natsu's movement.

Then bent and squatted even more exaggeratedly, "Chief Lusamine."

"Mr. Yanxia, ​​​​please look at this." said Wicke manipulating the computer, and immediately a video was projected onto the wall.

Ultra Wormhole, and an octopus-like Pokémon that floats outside the Ultra Wormhole.

Seeing her, Natsu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Nihilego!

"This Ultra Beast appeared in the accidentally opened Ultra Wormhole in Aether Paradise not long ago, and it looks almost exactly the same as you said last time, we named it 'UB01: Parasite' because it seems to have parasitic abilities. "

Lusamine explained.

Despite her restraint, Natsu could see a hint of madness on her face.

"It was taken by me."

It was Faba who was next to her, and he didn't forget to emphasize, and patted his chest.

Natsu gave him an indifferent look.

Those meaningful eyes made Faba, who happened to meet Natsu's eyes, stunned for a moment, and his heart was confused for some reason.

Faba's reaction also made Natsu even more certain with some of the conjectures in his heart.

It looks like the Ultra Wormhole was opened because Faba was looking for instant profits.

He just didn't know if Lillie and the others had experienced the same thing.

"That's what I've seen." After Natsu glanced at Faba, looked at Lusamine and said with a smile.

If it says.

Lusamine probably doubted Natsu's abilities before.

Then when she actually saw Nihilego described by Natsu, her doubts almost completely disappeared.

"But I'm more used to calling it Nihilego."

"Nihilego?" Lusamine is interested.

"I once saw a man possessed, and when he was released, the man kept saying 'Nihilego', so I named it personally Nihilego."

Natsu spoke without blinking an eye.

Lusamine's eyes shone.

Tells Wicke next to her "Update files."

"Okay, Chief."

"Wait Chief, you can't be so direct, because his words negate our names." Faba, who was next to her, stopped.

What a chance to become famous by naming the Ultra Beast never seen before.

If future generations mentioned this Ultra Beast and mentioned the name "UB01: Parasite", they would think of it as Faba.

A word from Natsu had robbed him of such a name?

"Okay Faba, Mr Yanxia is the first contact."

But Lusamine immediately solved the problem.

Compared to it name "UB01: Parasite", it is clear that "Nihilego" is more targeted and has more resources to discover.

Hearing this, Faba's complexion sank.

"Mr. Yanxia ever seen someone possessed by Nihilego?" Lusamine asked again.

"Yes." Natsu nodded.

Lusamine showed a bit of hesitation before asking again: "I wonder if this person has appeared, amnesia, unable to touch Pokemon?"

Natsu's eyebrows rose.

Is Lillie still following her original plot?

Before Natsu could answer, Lusamine looked stressed.

"Because of the sudden incident, my daughter was accidentally touched by Nihilego, who not only had amnesia, but also left a shadow in her heart, unable to touch Pokemon."

Then she said decisively: "If Mr. Yanxia has a solution, please let me know, for my sake as a mother."

Natsu looked down, slightly doubtful.

"Can I meet young lady first?"

Lusamine did not reject this.

Not long.

As the door next to the office opened, an old man wearing a servant wear and a monocle led a little girl with a pale face, like a frightened rabbit, and walked away.

Dressed in a white dress, the same golden hair as Lusamine, the girl with a face as smooth as a doll, was Lusamine's daughter.

Lillie!

Beside her, with this little boy in suspenders and a shirt, was Lusamine's son.

Gladion!

"Moms." Lillie moved towards Lusamine lightly shouting.

"Mother, Lillie's condition is getting worse," Gladion said.

Lusamine's eyes shone with sadness, and she walked to Lillie's side and hugged her.

"Lillie, you will be fine."

Natsu drew closer.

Lillie saw Natsu and hid in Lusamine's arms.

Gladion stopped right in front of Lillie with a serious expression, "Who are you?"

"Gladions." Lusamine shouted, pulled Gladion to the sampling, looked at Natsu who was crouching down, and asked, "Mr. Yanxia,​​ look her"

Natsu ignored Gladion.

frown.

"Theoretically, even if Nihilego touches, or even becomes a parasite, there will be no memory loss and inability to touch Pokémon."

"That"

Psychic flashes indistinctly in Natsu's eyes.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Faba, who was standing there with a slightly unnatural expression.

this method.

He was damaged.

But Faba seemed to be doing it for the first time, lacking skill and precision.

Natsu takes out a Poké Ball.

at a red light.

"Vulll~~"

Snow-white little Vulpix was summoned by him.

Vulpix was a little unused to seeing so many people the moment he appeared, and hid in Natsu's arms.

But when Lillie saw a Pokémon as cute as Alolan Vulpix, her little face showed longing.

But after reaching out, it seemed that she thought of something, and hurriedly took it back.

It's just that her eyes kept sweeping over the flirtatious Vulpix in Natsu's arms.

"Hmm." Nod solemnly.

"This takes time."

Hearing this, Lusamine was very happy.

"Is that really possible? Please mr, help my little sister."

Most excited was Gladion, who witnessed it all.

But unfortunately, Lusamine did not take the little boy's words seriously.

Especially when Faba is on the sidelines.

And Faba's expression was a little strange at this time, and he couldn't help himself.

But sadly no one is paying attention to it except Natsu now.

"Wicke, help Mr Yanxia arrange the place here." Lusamine said to Wicke.

"Okay, Chief."

Then she looked at Natsu and her eyes became meaningful.

"Mr. Yanxia, ​​please stay a few more days. We can also take the time to talk about some of the current events on Ula'ula Island. I would be very interested in some information."

Natsu grinned "Okay."

Is he an intelligence agent?

It is estimated that the second day after leaving the Aether Foundation, the investigation into his identity began.

The establishment of the Hunter's Guild branch on Ula'ula Island certainly did not escape Lusamine's investigation.

The meaning of her words was very clear.

You help me heal my daughter, I'll help you build a branch guild, and maybe even work together in the future for mutual benefit.

Moreover.

It's just that the Aether Foundation protects Pokémon in that name, but she, Lusamine, has her own obsession with all kinds of Pokémon.

Some of the Hunter's Guild abilities match some of Lusamine's goals and requirements.
