—------------------—
The clouds dispersed, and the rain ceased.
Under the dim light, Lusamine lay exhausted on Mamon, her golden hair clinging to her bangs, her smooth, fair back exposed to the air, her perfect curves making one's mouth water.
"Hmph~ You're like a bull. Did you really have to go that far?"
Lusamine, who finally recovered after resting for a while, couldn't help but lightly punch Mamon.
She had almost felt like she was going to die just now, truly!
"We haven't seen each other in so long, and you're so beautiful now." Mamon chuckled softly.
"You only know how to say nice things." Lusamine rolled her eyes at Mamon.
Although it wasn't voluntary at first, given the current situation, Lusamine truly felt that choosing Mamon was the right decision.
Not only did he fulfill her long-held wish, helping her obtain Nihilego and other Ultra Beasts, but Gladion had also matured perfectly.
Not to mention, she was now the President of the Alola League, standing at the pinnacle of the entire Alola region.
As a woman, reaching her current height, who wouldn't respectfully address her as President Lusamine now?
She had truly reached the peak of her life.
However…
"Mamon, what's going on with you and Lillie?"
Lusamine looked up at Mamon, her mature and refined face now extremely serious.
"What else could be going on? You can't possibly not understand that girl Lillie's feelings."
Mamon shrugged.
"Then what should we do? You and I…"
Lusamine frowned, feeling the absurdity of this world.
"Let nature take its course. No one can predict such things."
"…"
Lusamine looked at Mamon's attitude and felt helpless, but as Mamon said, feelings are indeed unpredictable.
"Oh, right, I've found that Ultra Recon Squad you asked me to look out for." Lusamine brought up the main topic.
"It's a middle-aged man named Phyco and a woman named Soliera."
The Ultra Recon Squad was a team of researchers formed by the 'survivors' of Ultra Megalopolis.
Because of the mistakes made by their ancestors years ago, Necrozma was sealed in the Ultra Megalopolis Tower, causing the Ultra Megalopolis world to completely lose its light.
As of now, Ultra Megalopolis was a lifeless world, and humans naturally could not survive there.
So the Ultra Recon Squad used Ultra Wormhole travel technology to cross space and come to Alola, investigating the unique aura phenomenon in the Alola region, hoping to restore light to their homeland.
But clearly, this could not save Ultra Megalopolis, as Ultra Megalopolis was already beyond saving.
"Have you contacted them?"
"Yes, I personally communicated with them and made a deal: they can freely research Alola's aura, and in return, they will provide us with Ultra Wormhole travel technology, allowing our people to enter Ultra Space."
Lusamine nodded.
Mamon nodded. In the game's storyline, the Ultra Recon Squad initially cooperated with the Aether Foundation, but they were used by Lusamine.
"Let's keep them stable for now. The Ultra Recon Squad possesses very advanced scientific technology, which is very valuable to us."
The Ultra Megalopolis world was a pure high-tech world, a world unfamiliar with Pokémon and Poké Balls.
But for a technological world capable of Ultra Wormhole travel, its scientific technology was evident.
Most Ultra Spaces were actually like this, just like the Ultra Ruin world where Guzzlord lived.
Because their world was almost completely devoured by Guzzlord, the people of that world had long since migrated to other worlds, and their technology was also very developed.
And the people of Ultra Megalopolis were able to betray Necrozma and seal it precisely because of their high technology.
Therefore, the high technology of Ultra Megalopolis still held great research value.
"Okay. Oh, right, Mamon, a Nihilego has mutated."
Lusamine brought up another matter.
"Mutated?"
"Exactly, that's probably the right word. That Nihilego had parasitic-fused with a Lycanroc, and then its physical appearance underwent drastic changes."
"Its body grew larger, its color turned black, and its appearance became grotesque and terrifying, but its strength increased significantly."
Lusamine took out her phone, which displayed a picture of a black Nihilego.
Mamon glanced at it, then raised an eyebrow.
It was a gigantic black Nihilego, but its actual appearance differed greatly from a normal Nihilego.
Or rather, it was completely two different species.
Nihilego was a milky-white, jellyfish-like Pokémon, not terrifying in appearance; it only seemed somewhat eerie due to its unconsciously swaying tentacles resembling a girl's movements.
Purely from its appearance, Nihilego was actually quite normal.
But this black Nihilego was different; its general shape was also jellyfish-like, but its massive black bell was translucent, and the eight tentacles extending from below were enormous.
Furthermore, the ends of those eight tentacles each had a slit, from which a grotesque and terrifying eye opened.
That's right, this black Nihilego had eyes on its tentacles, and all eight tentacles had them, a total of eight eyes!
This grotesque and horrifying art style…
Is this even a Pokémon? Where did this come from?
But in fact, this form of Nihilego did appear in the original work!
In the games, it appeared in the Sun & Moon versions, a new form of Nihilego after it parasitic-fused with Lusamine.
However, in the games, this form of Nihilego would not participate in battles; instead, the parasitic-fused Lusamine would engage in Pokémon battles.
In the anime, this form of Lusamine would personally participate in battles, ultimately being defeated by Ash, who was assisted by Solgaleo.
"Interesting."
Mamon chuckled softly. In normal circumstances, Nihilego's parasitic-fusion would not cause such bizarre changes.
This could be described as a one-in-a-million parasitic mutation.
"And what about this Nihilego now?"
"I've isolated it. Its temperament has become very fierce and aggressive."
"Alright, take me to see it tomorrow."
Mamon nodded, slightly interested in this parasitic 'evolved' Nihilego.
And then…
"No more, I really can't take it. What if I can't get up tomorrow?"
Lusamine sensed Mamon's change, her tone a little panicked.
She had just drunk a lot of water to catch her breath; if this continued, she was truly afraid of passing out.
"It's fine, there's nothing major to deal with tomorrow anyway."
"You… Ugh…"
In the dim room, the demonic whispers sounded again.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Where exactly did Mammon go?"
Lillie sat on a bench in the backyard, watching Platinum and Gladion training in battle, feeling a little disappointed.
She had finally mustered the courage to confess her feelings to Mamon, but now she couldn't find him.
Beep-beep~
Her phone suddenly rang. Lillie picked it up and looked.
"Lillie, I have good news for you! During the Manalo Conference, both my boyfriend and my uncle will be there to cheer me on. I'll introduce them to you then! (Excited.jpg)"
"Okay."
Lillie forced a smile and replied with three words, feeling somewhat anxious.
She had to make things official with Mamon before then!
After all, she could still pretend not to know that Mamon was Selene's boyfriend, but once Selene introduced them, it would truly be inappropriate for her to pursue her best friend's boyfriend.
Lillie, you're truly too despicable!
Lillie pursed her lips tightly, but she was also fighting for her own happiness. Selene, you'll forgive me, won't you?
Time came to the next day.
When Mamon woke up and came to the living room, Lillie was already sitting on the sofa, currently on her phone, doing who-knew-what.
"Mammon, you're awake?"
Seeing Mamon walk over, Lillie immediately stood up in surprise.
"Ah~ Where is everyone else?"
Mamon stretched, and Jirachi, sitting on Mamon's shoulder, was still nodding its head, seemingly still dozing off.
"Ms. Caitlin and Ms. Platinum went to the backyard for training, my brother went out, and Mother seems to have not slept well last night, so she's still catching up on sleep."
Saying this, Lillie tilted her head in some confusion. Usually, Lusamine's biological clock was very punctual.
But today, to sleep until half past ten and still not be awake, was very strange.
However, Lillie didn't think much of it. After all, Lusamine was usually very busy with work, and it was good for her to get some rare extra rest today.
"I see, alright."
Mamon nodded.
"Mammon, please eat something first. I'll go warm it up for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Lillie."
"It's no trouble. If it's for Mammon, I…"
The girl smiled shyly, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't because she was too embarrassed, and she scurried into the kitchen.
Mamon smiled at this. The moment Lillie lowered her head, blushing, was truly memorable.
No wonder there's a saying, 'A girl's blush is worth more than anything.'
A glass of milk and a slice of bread. Since it wasn't early now and lunch was soon, Lillie didn't prepare much else for Mamon.
After a simple meal, Mamon and Lillie went outside the villa.
"How long will Mammon be staying in the Alola region this time?"
Lillie held onto her lady's hat, hands clasped behind her back, walking beside Mamon, and asked him in a clear voice.
"Until the Alola regional tournament ends. Because a very important person will be participating, I've been waiting for this day."
Mamon said with a smile.
"Oh…"
That very important person was undoubtedly Selene.
Lillie pursed her lips, feeling incredibly envious. Selene was truly… so happy.
Lillie lowered her head, somewhat dejected. Yes, she was actually very envious of Selene.
Selene had such great talent, everyone liked Selene so much, and even her mother, Lusamine, never withheld praise for Selene.
And Mr. Kukui and the others, they all had high hopes for Selene's future.
And herself? Besides being the young lady of the Aether Foundation, she had nothing else to show for herself, right?
She wasn't a Trainer, and she had no talent.
"Of course, to me, the lovely Miss Lillie is also a very important person, so I was actually very happy to come to Aether Paradise."
As if sensing the bitterness in the girl's heart, Mamon stopped, looked down at Lillie, and said warmly with a smile.
"Eh?" Lillie was startled by his words.
Immediately, a flush rose on the girl's delicate, fair face.
"Mr. Ma… Mamon… you're too sly, always saying things like 'lovely'…"
Lillie stammered.
"Because Miss Lillie is truly lovely." Mamon tilted his head slightly.
"That… that is…"
Lillie was blushing profusely, but her heart was uncontrollably joyful. The praise from the person she admired truly pleased her.
But now… is this a good opportunity?!
"Mammon!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Lillie's small hands clenched at her chest, her heart in an immense tangle, but thinking of her good friend Selene, the girl finally mustered her courage.
She had truly waited a long time for an opportunity like this.
"I… I really like Mammon!"
The young lady of the Aether Foundation looked up, her beautiful, moist eyes now firmly meeting Mamon's gaze.
"When I was at my most difficult, it was the gentle Mammon who helped and comforted me. From that moment on, Mammon became a very important presence in my life!"
"When I'm with Mammon, I'm very happy. I have always… always liked Mammon the most!"
The girl's confession was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear and firm.
Mamon looked at Lillie's face, then smiled with understanding.
"So, that's what Lillie thinks…"
"Yes… Yes! I truly like you, Mammon. If… if…"
Lillie's eyes at this moment were like those of a cute little animal, cautious and incredibly hopeful for Mamon's answer.
"Actually, I also like Lillie very much, because Lillie is truly very cute. If I could be with Lillie, I'm sure I'd be very happy in the future."
"Then…"
Lillie was very surprised by his words.
"But, Lillie, do you know? I have a girlfriend." Mamon added another sentence.
Lillie's face immediately turned a little pale. She thought Mamon was going to reject her.
"This… I know this. I don't mind!"
Lillie bit her lip and replied, because she knew she was already the third party.
She also hadn't expected that after confessing to Mamon, he would abandon Selene for her; that was definitely not the outcome Lillie wanted.
"Lillie, I don't want to deceive you. I'm not as perfect as you imagine."
Mamon gently placed his hands on the girl's slender shoulders and spoke seriously to Lillie.
"I must tell you, if you are with me, my future wives might not just be the two of you. Can you… accept that too?"
What does that mean?
Lillie's pupils widened slightly. She wasn't stupid; she knew Mamon meant that he intended to marry not just her and Selene, but other girls as well.
"This…"
Lillie's thoughts were a bit chaotic. Right, she had only ever thought about her secretly pursuing Mamon and feeling guilty towards Selene.
Therefore, she hadn't considered this point. She wasn't the only cat sneaking a taste!
Given Mammon's charm, there must be many girls who coveted him.
"Then, Mammon, how many girlfriends do you have now?"
As if by a strange impulse, Lillie suddenly asked.
"As for girlfriends, only one."
Mamon answered very honestly. Indeed, only one girlfriend. As for bed partners… they didn't count as girlfriends.
Lillie gently breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, Mammon, are you willing to be in a relationship with me, to be my boyfriend?"
Lillie looked at Mamon expectantly. Truly, hearing Mamon's words just now, she wasn't disappointed; instead, she was truly relieved.
Selene, anyway, Mammon won't only marry you, so it shouldn't matter if there's one more of me, right?
Hmm, Lillie's guilt about betraying her best friend lessened significantly.
What was this called?
Good things should be shared with sisters! If you're going to share it with other women, why not share it with me, your best friend?
At least I'll definitely support you, Selene, in becoming the first lady of the household, won't I?
