Chapter 960: The Past! War Begins

Liliae happily hugged Bai Gungun and ran to Gladion happily, "I didn't expect that the legendary Pokémon trainer is you, brother!"

At this time, Gladion looked at the white rolling in Liliae's arms with a look of shock, and his tone was slightly concerned, "Lillie, can you touch Pokémon again? Have you fully recovered?"

Hearing Gladion's concern, Lillie smiled and nodded gently. Then she raised the white ball in her arms and said, "The child's name is White Ball!"

Then, she turned to Bai Gun Gun and introduced it with a smile: "Bai Gun Gun, this is Brother Gladion!"

After hearing Liliae's introduction, Bai Gungun immediately wagged his tail happily and made a crisp cry, as if greeting Gladion.

At this time, Butler James also came over. He smiled and said to Gladion, "Master Gladion, the young lady has been taking care of White Roller since it was still in the egg. This is the first Pokémon she has captured!"

Gladion was slightly stunned after hearing what Butler James said, then he looked at Bai Gungun with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He said softly, "So that's how it is... Then take good care of it!"

After saying this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it was quickly hidden.

After that, he nodded to Xiaozhi and turned to leave. Xiaozhi did not stop him, because his intuition told him that Gladion would definitely come to find him!

"Master Gladion, you have finally come back. If possible, please come back to the mansion with us..." But James spoke quickly.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gladion, "I'm not going back, James. Goodbye, Lilia."

"Brother..." Liliae wanted to call him, but Gladion had already walked away without looking back.

Liliae sighed helplessly and turned to look at Xiaozhi beside her, her eyes full of confusion and worry: "Xiaozhi, what happened to my brother? Why did he leave so suddenly?"

Xiaozhi gently patted Liliae's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, Liliae, maybe your brother has something important to deal with!"

Xiaozhi's gentle words and warm smile gradually calmed Liliae's mood. Then, Xiaozhi invited Liliae to his home, hoping to use this opportunity to better understand Gladion and the story of their brother and sister.

Liliae gladly accepted Xiaozhi's invitation, and they boarded the limousine to Liliae's house and arrived at Xiaozhi's house.

Sitting in the living room, Latias served Liliae the delicious malasada snacks and fragrant black tea that he had recently learned to make.

Although Liliae was still a little scared of touching Latias, their relationship had become very harmonious.

Liliae sat quietly opposite Xiaozhi, her hands gently stroking the handles of the chair, her eyes wandering, as if she was recalling something. She said softly, "My brother left home about half a year ago!"

"That day he suddenly said that he wanted to go out and practice alone..." Her voice was slightly low, with a hint of indescribable emotion.

"While improving your Pokémon battle skills, you should also seriously think about your future life and future direction." James, who was standing nearby, added softly.

"Isn't this normal?" Latias, who was sitting next to Xiaozhi, tilted his head and didn't think there was anything strange. After all, Xiaozhi also traveled outside all year round.

However, Liliae shook her head, a worried look on her face. "But..." She held up a cup of black tea, the steaming tea fragrance filled the air, making her thoughts clearer. She thought back to the brother she met today, and a feeling of doubt and uneasiness surged in her heart.

"My brother is very strange today. He doesn't seem like the person I know. He used to be so gentle and considerate, but now he is like two completely different people!" Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were flashing with worry.

Sensing that Liliae was in a bad mood, Bai GunGun immediately stopped playing with Vulpix and quickly jumped into her arms. He rubbed Liliae's cheek with his soft body, which immediately made Liliae smile happily.

"That look reminds me of the day when Master Gladion brought Ibrahimovic back!" James suddenly interrupted, and fell into deep memories as he spoke.

"That incident seemed to have just happened yesterday. At that time, Master Gladion brought back an Eevee that was covered in wounds. The master looked very anxious at the time, and then he asked me to save the Eevee and told me to make sure I could heal it!"

After hearing this, if Xiaozhi guessed correctly, that Eevee should be the current Uluru!

"So this has actually happened?!" Liliae looked up at James in surprise, her face full of shock and curiosity. This was the first time she had heard about Ibrahimovic, which surprised her greatly.

"Miss Lilia was still very young at that time. I think she probably doesn't remember it now!" James said with a smile. As a butler, he witnessed the growth of the two siblings and knew their personalities and experiences well.

James watched both Gladion and Lillie grow up. It can be said that he knows the two siblings better than their parents.

"Indeed!" Xiaozhi agreed with this. You know, Bird would not lie. Although Gladion acted very cold at that time, he actually cared about Liliae very much.

They chatted for a while, and when it was getting dark, Liliae and James got up and said goodbye to Xiaozhi and left.

----------

As the night gradually faded and dawn was about to come, a dark and mysterious moon elf quietly poked its head out from the skylight on the roof of Xiaozhi's room, threw a piece of paper to Xiaozhi and quickly left.

Xiaozhi woke up instantly, quickly reached out to catch the paper, and a smile appeared on his face: "Finally, it's here, is this a challenge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaozhi could not wait to lead his Pokémon out of the door, and Latias followed closely behind. After all, the actions of the Moon Elf could not be hidden from it!

They came to the nearby beach together and soon met Gladion. Gladion's face was full of fighting spirit and expectation. He looked at Xiaozhi firmly and said, "I have done an in-depth investigation on your affairs. I learned that you are from the Kanto region, a powerful trainer, and you have successfully passed the great test of Melemele Island!"

Then, he said in an excited tone: "Please let me also witness your strength!"

Xiaozhi readily agreed and proposed the rules of the battle: "Okay, how about we fight three on three?"

With the power of wave guidance, Xiaozhi had already realized that Gladion was carrying three Pokémon, so he wanted to see his full strength.

Gladion subconsciously touched the white commemorative ball on his waist, then quickly raised his head and said, "Use two!"

"No problem!" Xiaozhi agreed without thinking too much.

Latias will be the referee of this battle!

Gladion looked at Xiaozhi, took a deep breath, and threw a high-level ball directly, "Come out, you fiery-eyed Lycanroc!"

But Xiaozhi did not throw the Poké Ball, because at this moment, the Rockhound had a fierce look in its eyes and turned into a little wolf cub, and jumped up to fight. The ferocious intent scared Gladion.
