Chapter 939: Liliae's House, Confrontation with Butler James

It's time to go home from school, and Liliae invites Xiaozhi to go home with her. She hopes to ask Xiaozhi how to take care of the Pokémon eggs.

Moreover, Xiaozhi plans to lend the Space Hatching Bracelet to Lillie temporarily. After all, compared to himself, Lillie, who is afraid to touch the Pokémon eggs, needs it more.

Mao happened to have to go back home to help out at Eina's restaurant, so he entrusted Liliae to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi put the two Pokémon eggs into his bracelet at the same time, and then he and Lilia came to the school gate and asked, "By the way, Lilia, where is your home?"

"It's a little far from here, but someone will come to pick you up!"

Just as Liliae finished her words, a luxury car slowly drove up to them.

After the car stopped, a driver in a neat uniform got out of the car. He bowed deeply to Lilia and said respectfully, "Miss Lilia, I'm here to take you home!"

Xiaozhi looked at the luxury car in front of him without much surprise. After all, from Liliae's manners, dress and temperament, it was obvious that she came from a wealthy family.

And although Liliae came from a wealthy family, she was very approachable and did not have the slightest airs of a rich girl.

We sped along the coastal highway, and when a lush forest appeared in front of us, we slowed down the car and drove into it.

After driving for about half an hour, an open gate deep in the forest appeared before us. After passing through this gate, we officially entered the territory of Liliae's home.

Along the way, Liliae was very motivated about the Pokémon eggs, and Xiaozhi shared his experience and knowledge without reservation.

Finally, after passing through the forest, a luxurious mansion came into view. This mansion was as beautiful and magnificent as a castle in a fairy tale.

The butler-like uncle had been waiting at the gate to welcome them. When the luxury car stopped in front of the uncle, he immediately opened the door and said warmly, "Welcome home, Miss Lilia!"

The three Hoopas and Rotom couldn't wait to float out and enjoy the free air.

Liliae then got off the car, greeted the uncle with a smile, and introduced Xiaozhi next to her, "I'm back, this is Xiaozhi, our school teacher!"

Xiaozhi then introduced Hoopa and the others one by one, and the uncle bowed respectfully to welcome them, "Welcome Mr. Xiaozhi, I will serve as the butler of this mansion, please call me James!"

After introducing himself, James felt a little embarrassed again, mainly because there were too many Pokémon around Satoshi, and in order to prevent Lillie from being frightened, Pokémon were not allowed into the mansion.

Fortunately, Lilia was considerate. She saw James's dilemma and took the initiative to say, "It's okay, James. Xiaozhi came here especially for me today!"

James felt relieved upon hearing this and a smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly and enthusiastically led Xiaozhi into the door.

However, they didn't notice that behind them, a night thief fire lizard quietly crawled out from under the car. It stared directly at the bracelet on Xiaozhi's wrist, with a sinister and cruel light flashing in its eyes.

Although this mansion has strict regulations that do not allow any Pokémon to enter, in order to satisfy Liliae's love and curiosity for Pokémon, a wild Pokémon playground was specially built in the open-air courtyard.

This way, Liliae can observe the living habits and behaviors of Pokémon from a distance without being disturbed or threatened.

"It should be a while before wild Pokémon will come to the playground to play!" James introduced to Xiaozhi enthusiastically.

"This is my room!" When they reached the second floor, Liliae took a few steps forward, gently pushed open a door, turned around and said to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi followed Liliae into the room. He thought he would see a magnificent princess room, but he did not expect that the room in front of him was decorated very warmly and comfortably, giving people a clean and neat feeling.

Liliae walked to the window and pointed to the empty space next to the sofa, then turned to Xiaozhi and smiled, "Xiaozhi, please put the egg here!"

Xiaozhi nodded, walked to the sofa, and prepared to take out the Pokémon egg from the bracelet.

At this moment, Liliae suddenly seemed to remember something and hurried to the bookshelf beside her. While searching for books, she muttered to herself, "Should I soften it a little more?"

After a while, Liliae found a thick book and began to read it carefully. After a while, she happily closed the book, ran to the sofa, and placed a few soft pillows on it. Then, she looked at Xiaozhi and said with a smile: "This should be more appropriate."

Xiaozhi smiled and looked at Liliae, then took out the two Pokémon eggs from the bracelet and gently placed them on the pillow.

Lilia stood aside, nervously watching the two elf eggs, expecting them to react. Sure enough, not long after, the two elf eggs shook a few times at the same time, as if responding to Lilia's care.

Seeing this, Liliae laughed happily, with joy shining in her eyes.

Xiaozhi then took off the space hatching bracelet and handed it to Liliae, "Here, with this, you can carry the Pokémon eggs with you at all times!"

After Liliae took the bracelet, a bright smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Xiaozhi! I will definitely take good care of the Pokémon egg!"

At this moment, Xiaozhi accidentally saw a photo frame on the coffee table next to the sofa. In the photo frame was a photo of a beautiful older sister and two children, a boy and a girl.

He walked closer out of curiosity and found that the girl was clearly Liliae when she was a child, so the other boy should be her brother, after all, they looked very similar.

James introduced that the older sister was Lilia's mother. However, these were not the most important things. The most important thing was that in the photo, Lilia was clearly holding a little Yorkie.

Xiaozhi looked at the photo in surprise, then turned to look at Liliae and asked in confusion: "Liliae, you used to be so confused about Pokémon..."

Liliae hummed softly, confirming Xiaozhi's judgment.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What happened that prevented you from touching Pokémon?"

Liliae said with a gloomy look: "This, I don't understand it myself..." She hung her head, her face full of frustration.

James sighed and continued, "To be honest with you, Mr. Xiaozhi, my wife and Miss Liliae once moved to the Aether Paradise for a period of time. It was after they came back from there that Miss Liliae began to be unable to touch Pokémon anymore."

"Ether Paradise?" Xiaozhi keenly grasped the key words. He realized that Liliae's matter might be closely related to Ether Paradise.

Xiaozhi also knows about Aether Paradise, which is an artificial island located in the center of the Alola region. It is not only the base of the Aether Foundation, but also a shelter for Pokémon, where injured Pokémon can be properly cared for and treated.

In addition, Aether Paradise has always been at the forefront of the world in its research on Pokémon. Could it be that Liliae's situation is related to a certain research?

At this moment, Hoopa came over, jumping up and down, and kept shouting: "Master, Master..."

Looking in the direction it came from, from the balcony of Liliae's room, it turned out to be the playground in the open courtyard of the mansion. At this time, many wild Pokémon have gathered here, and they seem to be enjoying a leisurely time.

Pikachu, Eevee, and Hoopa became excited when they saw this scene, and joined in with cheers.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile as he watched the lively scene in front of him. Suddenly, he noticed that a regular battle field had been built next to the amusement park.

"Hey, there is a battle zone?" Xiaozhi asked curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Xiaozhi. We have carefully taken care of this venue. You can use it anytime you want to play!" James replied with a smile.

Liliae knew that Xiaozhi liked Pokémon battles, so she smiled at Xiaozhi and said, "Xiaozhi, just enjoy it!"

After hearing what Liliae said, Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at James beside him. After all, if you want to have a Pokémon battle, you must have two trainers.

At this time, Liliae did not have her own Pokémon, so the only one who could fight against her was the butler.

Liliae couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes gleaming with anticipation: "James is one of the best staff members we have here!"

She knows very well that James' strength should not be underestimated, and she is also full of confidence in Xiaozhi, believing that this duel will be exciting.

Hearing Lilia's praise, James quickly bowed to express his gratitude, with a confident smile on his face. He gently adjusted his tie, and the whole person seemed to radiate a different temperament, revealing a strong fighting spirit: "I'm so sorry!"

He said solemnly, "Let me, James, take the liberty of challenging Mr. Xiaozhi to become your opponent!"
