Chapter 131: Go Get Mewtwo Back! I Support You!

Around nine o'clock in the evening.

At Shuijing City Airport, Mamen and Gladion were waiting at the terminal.

Not long after, Lillie, wearing a white dress that made her look pure and pretty with her high ponytail, walked out slowly from the passenger corridor, looking very stunning as she held the straps of her backpack.

When she saw Mamen and Gladion, Lillie's large eyes instantly lit up.

"Mr. Mamen! My lord!"

Lillie trotted over, a smile of immense joy on her beautiful little face.

"Lillie." A faint smile appeared on Gladion's stern face as he nodded and greeted his beloved little sister.

"Long time no see, Lillie."

Mamen also smiled and waved a greeting.

"Mm~ indeed, it has been quite some time since we last met."

Lillie's clear, watery large eyes blinked, reflecting the handsome face of the youth in them, a face she often recalled.

"..."

Gladion sensed something was wrong; he looked at Lillie, whose eyes held only Mamen and not him, then turned his gaze to Mamen.

No, Lillie, I am your brother!!

Gladion restored his expressionless face; very well, very well, is this how a long-awaited reunion goes?

And when did Lillie become acquainted with my lord Mamen?

Gladion frowned slightly; to be honest, he did not really want his sister to get involved with Mamen.

As Mamen's subordinate, Gladion knew that Mamen's attitude toward those around him was very friendly, and he also took care of his subordinates.

But the problem is...

Gladion knew very well that my lord Mamen's love life was not very ideal, especially since Caitlin was still by Mamen's side.

If Lillie had feelings for Mamen, wouldn't that mean she would have to face off directly with Caitlin?

This... can she win?

Gladion was naturally willing to support his beloved little sister, but the problem was that even with him added, Lillie, who was combat useless, was no match for Caitlin.

"You must be tired from sitting on the plane for so long; do you want to go eat something?" The three walked out of the airport, and Mamen smiled, reaching out to Lillie and very gentlemanly taking her backpack.

Gladion: "..."

"Emmm... no need, I've already drunk water on the plane."

Lillie touched her flat little belly, hesitated for a short while, and still refused.

Although she really wanted to have a late-night snack and chat with Mr. Mamen, indeed, it is better for girls not to eat at night.

Lillie still paid great attention to managing her figure; after all, having someone she liked made her want to make herself even more beautiful.

"In that case, that's a bit of a pity; Lillie, did you do any research before coming?"

The three of Mamen got into the car.

"No, but I did take a simple look; Hoenn seems to have many places worth visiting."

Lillie sat in the back row, her two pale little legs swinging gently, her eyes constantly glancing at Mamen's profile.

It's been quite a while since we last met; why does it feel like Mr. Mamen looks even more handsome? If I could kiss Mr. Mamen, it would definitely be very...

Lillie patted her little face to cool down her cheeks, which were gradually starting to heat up.

Lillie, oh Lillie! How can you be like this! This is your good friend Mizuki's boyfriend!

"In that case, I do have a good place; shall we set out to see it tomorrow?"

Mamen tilted his head slightly; he had just received an interesting piece of news today.

It was reported to him by Flannery; a former scientist from Team Magma had privately contacted Flannery.

"Great~!" Lillie agreed without a second thought.

Gladion, who was driving: "..."

"Then rest well today; you need to replenish your energy." Mamen smiled.

"Mm-mm~" Lillie nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Mamen, I brought Nebby along too; however, since its size is too big, I put it inside a Poké Ball."

Lillie took a red-and-white ball from her pocket, and as if sensing Mamen, the red-and-white ball wobbled.

"I miss Nebby too; it seems I need to prepare more candy tomorrow." Mamen chuckled softly.

The red-and-white ball wobbled even more happily.

After chatting casually along the way, Gladion first drove Mamen back to the villa, then took Lillie to another villa.

With her own brother's house available, Lillie naturally would not stay at Mamen's place.

"Wow~ my lord, did you buy this house yourself?" After entering the villa, Lillie let out an exclamation of awe at the luxurious decoration.

"Mm, I've made a lot of money recently." Gladion's lips curved slightly upward.

As the person currently managing most of Team Rocket's enterprises in Hoenn, saying he earned a fortune daily was no exaggeration, and he had immediately bought himself a villa.

"My lord is indeed very impressive." Lillie sighed with admiration.

Having received his sister's admiration, Gladion felt quite pleased in his heart.

"Then how did you come to be with Mr. Mamen, my lord?"

Lillie asked curiously.

"... Doing some business with my lord Mamen." Gladion paused, hesitated for a moment, and replied thus.

"And Lillie, why did you come to Hoenn? I thought I told you not to come looking for me?"

Gladion asked Lillie in return; his identity outside was currently a high-ranking officer of Team Rocket.

On the surface, he had already severed ties with the Aether Foundation; the Pokémon League was still very humane, and as long as he truly had no contact with the Aether Foundation, the Pokémon League would not link his personal actions to the Aether Foundation.

But if Lillie's visit to him were discovered by the Pokémon League, it would also bring some trouble.

"Eh? Why can't I visit my lord brother? I don't understand; Mother said the same thing." Lillie was very confused.

"Because of some special reasons; in short, it's not very convenient." Gladion pondered for a moment.

"And Lillie, did you really come this time to find me? Or did you come for my lord Mamen?"

Hearing this, Lillie's cheeks instantly turned red.

"N-no, that's not true! Brother, how could you say such a thing... I don't like Mr. Mamen at all..."

"..." Seeing his sister's shy and flustered state, Gladion fell silent.

"Lillie, as your brother, I shouldn't decide your future, but if you truly like my lord Mamen, then you must be prepared to face competition from other girls. Do you have this resolve?"

Gladion's tone was very serious; aside from the fact that my lord Mamen currently seemed quite flirtatious.

Just from what Gladion knew, there were already three: Domino, Liza, and Flannery.

However, Gladion felt these three girls posed no difficulty; with his backing for Lillie, and with the Aether Foundation as her support, her mother was practically already appointed as the president of the Alola League.

Besides, Lillie herself was extremely beautiful; in Gladion's opinion, on what grounds could those three women compete with his sister?

But the key was Caitlin!

Caitlin was almost inseparable from my lord Mamen, and Caitlin herself possessed immense strength, hailed from a prestigious noble family, and carried an elegant and noble temperament.

In Gladion's view, among the females currently close to my lord Mamen, only Caitlin was the one and only choice for my lord Mamen's future wife.

The pressure of competing with Caitlin might truly be too great for Lillie.

"I..."

Hearing this, Lillie bit her lip and lowered her head; golden strands of hair fell, casting shadows over her cheeks.

Competing with other girls...

Indeed, Brother Gladion knows too, doesn't he? Mr. Mamen has a girlfriend.

But... Mr. Mamen was the first boy to stir her heart; she would never forget the heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Mamen on the bench under the tree shade, which allowed her to regain a happy family!

"Brother! I am already mentally prepared." Lillie raised her head, her determined gaze fixed directly on Gladion.

Yes, she had actually understood this when she came to Hoenn.

Someone like her, how shameless, right? Knowing full well that he was her sister Mizuki's boyfriend, yet she still wanted to intrude and become a third party.

And she hid it from Mizuki; she was truly despicable.

But... happiness must be fought for.

"Is that so?" Gladion fell silent: "Brother will always support you, Lillie."

He must work even harder! Not only to become stronger, but also to become a powerful support for Lillie!

After all, Lillie is not a Trainer; competing with those women would be a huge disadvantage for her.

"Mm!" Lillie nodded heavily, but a deep sense of guilt remained in her heart.

I'm sorry, Mizuki.

Early the next morning.

"Isn't Flannery coming down to eat?"

Cynthia, yawning, came downstairs and saw Mamen and Caitlin seated at the dining table, along with an unfamiliar blonde girl; she tilted her head in confusion.

"She is unwell." Caitlin ate elegantly and replied lightly.

"Eh? Wasn't she fine when she returned yesterday?" Cynthia, confused, scratched her messy black hair.

"Who knows." Caitlin's movement paused for a moment, her tone remaining very flat.

As for why she was unwell...

Caitlin could figure it out with her feet; it must be because Mamen used her to practice his skills too vigorously yesterday; she truly hoped that woman would be completely worn out by Mamen!!

Damn thief, stealing food day after day, and even playing until she couldn't get out of bed?

Doesn't she know Mamen is still young and needs to protect his waist and kidneys? She is clearly a girl not yet of age, yet she demands endlessly.

That stinking woman Flannery is truly a demoness!

Caitlin even wished Liza would return; at least Liza wouldn't be so clingy, entering the room and clinging to Mamen for two or three hours!

Is Flannery even human?

"Emmm..."

Cynthia blinked her eyes and dared not speak loudly; she noticed that Caitlin seemed to be in a very bad mood.

"By the way, who is this beautiful little sister? Won't you introduce her to me?"

However, Cynthia was still the type who couldn't sit still; eyeing the exquisite blonde girl, she curiously asked Mamen and the other two.

"You were the one who came down and chattered nonstop." Mamen rolled his eyes.

"Hello, I am Lillie, from the Alola region."

Seeing her name mentioned, Lillie stood up and formally introduced herself to Cynthia; her tone was gentle and refined, very much like a Young Lady.

"Ha~ No need to be so polite; I am Cynthia of the Dragon Clan."

Cynthia's formal introductions always included the four words "Dragon Clan"; this was her pride and her faith.

"Dragon Clan? Sounds very impressive."

Lillie was quite curious; she had never heard of this title.

"I'll introduce it to you later; Cynthia's origins are indeed quite deep." Mamen said with a smile.

"Hehe~" Cynthia grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"We are planning to go out today; will you come?" Mamen looked at Cynthia.

"No interest; I just got up to have breakfast." Cynthia yawned again; she felt that since joining the Team Rocket, she had become much more lazy.

She didn't know if it was because she had caught it from Caitlin, but she had actually started to suffer from excessive sleepiness.

"Alright then."

"Where are you planning to go? How about taking a trip to the Meteor Waterfall? I can provide you with a map to the Village of Falling Stars."

"We'll visit the Village of Falling Stars another time if there's an opportunity. This time, we are preparing to go to Farnes."

Mamon's lips curled up slightly at the corners.

That was right, it was Farnes, the resting place of Seven Nights' wish-granting star, Jirachi!

Little Theater.

One day.

Caitlin leaned against the corner of the wall, making no sound.

One hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

Four hours...

"Wuwu... How can it be so long? Mamon will get tired! That damn woman, doesn't she know how to restrain herself? She doesn't care about Mamon at all!"

Caitlin's heart ached terribly, and she kept cursing that wild woman in her mind.
