Pokémon Memories and Journeys
Chapter 38 The battle between the beauty pageant and her mother
Anna blew a kiss to the frantic fans, and the fans swarmed forward. But Anna's manpower was not a vegetarian, and a group of people fought hard to stop the fanatical fans.So under the escort of the bodyguards, Anna hugged Lilith and left everyone's sight, and came from the beach to a cafe.
The moody dim yellow lights in the cafe smudge on the walls, exuding a sense of tranquility.Apart from Lilith and the others, there was only one store manager who was cleaning mugs on the counter.Elegant classical music echoed in this small space, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of coffee.
"Three cups of iced coffee. For children, orange juice is fine." Anna seemed to be familiar with the layout of the coffee shop.
"Mom, don't you think we should have a good talk after we haven't seen each other for so long? For example, why are you here?"
"Why is little Lilith so harsh?" Anna pretended to be pitiful and said, "Your mother is a public figure after all, and she happened to be here to film a scene."
"Then is it really okay for you to leave the studio suddenly like this?"
"It doesn't matter. Those directors don't dare to be cruel to me. Your mother also invested in this movie. Your mother can shoot it whenever she wants."
Are you sure you are not trying to be a big name? Lilith complained in her heart.
Xiaoxia leaned slightly towards Lilith and asked: "I didn't expect your mother to be such a person. Sister Sakura is also a fan of her movies."
"She's actually not that powerful." Under her domineering appearance, Anna acts like a little woman to Lilith.
"Auntie, long time no see." Xiaozhi greeted Anna next.
"Ah, Xiaozhi, you have grown a lot. The last time I saw you, you were still a childish child. Sure enough, traveling can make people mature a lot. I heard from Dr. Ohki that your ambition is pretty good."
Xiaozhi touched the tip of his nose and said confidently: "Of course, I will become a Pokémon master in the future. This time I not only want to participate in the Quartz Conference, my goal is to win the championship. It's awesome." "
Xiaoxia stabbed Xiaozhi's waist heavily with her swollen arm. Xiaozhi sat down in pain: "Xiaoxia, why did you hit me suddenly?"
Xiaoxia clenched her fists to suppress her anger: "You are so embarrassing"
So the two began to quarrel again, and they were really happy enemies.Xiaogang, who had never had a chance to interrupt from the beginning, could only silently activate the "single dog's gaze".
Anna smiled: "Hanako, your son is very good. I really like such a sunny and cheerful boy. He will definitely be able to do great things in the future."
"This child's words are too cheerful." Hanako held her cheek in worry, "But fortunately there is a good girl like Xiaoxia to take care of him now. Our Xiaozhi will have to rely on you more in the future." Hanako bowed slightly.
"Mom, I told you I'm not a child anymore, you don't need to control me like this."
Xiaozhi naturally did not understand what Hanako said.Xiaoxia, on the other hand, suddenly stopped making noise and blushed, then sat obediently on the sofa.
Anna slapped the table and laughed non-stop: "Hahaha, the world of young people is so interesting. Hanako, your ability to tease people is still very good, it is your style."
Hanako also pursed her lips and smiled: "Children have their own world. As a mother, just watch from the sidelines."
"It's true. Watching their trip reminds me of when we were children." Anna held her chin, recalling what happened in the past.
"Yeah, didn't the four of us fight every day?"
"Travel together, look for dreams together, and go our own way." Anna looked at Hanako.
"Complete the goal, explore unknown places, and promise never to forget these memories." Hanako responded to Anna's gaze tacitly.
The people around me basically listened in confusion.Because both of them stated sentences that only they knew well.Anna and Hanako looked at each other and smiled, all their thoughts were contained in the smile at this moment.
Lilith saw this performance in her eyes and asked in surprise. She took a sip of ice-cold orange juice and asked unintentionally: "Mom, were you and Aunt Hanako traveling together? Could it be that Dad was also your traveling companion?"
But Lilith's words stepped on the fuse.Anna and Hanako suddenly stopped the topic. It's not that this question cannot be asked, it's just that only Lilith can't hear it.
Ana flipped her hair and took out a lighter from her pocket: "Well, our relationship is more than just acquaintance."
Anna was about to take out a cigarette, but then she thought about it and hesitated before putting out the lighter in her hand and putting the cigarette back.
Hanako's face also darkened, and the smile on her lips was slightly bitter: "It's been a long time ago, and I once had good memories with Ms. Anna."
"I'm honored to have had a friend like Ms. Hanako."
Dr. Omu shook his head helplessly: "You can stop here."
""
""
No, this is too wrong. Lilith stirred the ice cubes in the cup.Originally she just asked accidentally, but she felt like she was about to touch something important.but
The atmosphere at the table was not very good. As soon as Dr. Omu said this, Anna and Hanako stopped talking.Xiao Mao didn't care about this kind of thing, he just closed his eyes and rested his mind with his hands in his hands.The three of them, Xiaozhi, didn't understand anything and looked at Hanako and Anna blankly. For them, this information might be impossible to analyze.Lilith sighed, forget it today
Lilith pretended that she didn't notice anything and changed the topic elsewhere: "We have been out for so long, and we don't know how Grandpa Liu's shop is doing."
Xiaozhi slapped his head: "Why did you forget this? We promised Grandpa Liu to work, but now we are playing here. I don't know if it will go well with Bulbasaur and them."
"To be honest, I'm a little worried." After all, Lilith and the others left the Pokémon there and it would be bad if something happened.
"Then let's go back now."
"That's fine." Lilith paused, feeling something was strange.When did I agree to work part-time?
"Oh, little Lilith, are you leaving so soon? It's rare to see a mother and you don't plan to stay a little longer. Can Mommy take you shopping?" Anna winked and hooked Lilith's shoulders with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Lilith slapped Anna away in disgust: "There are still important things now."
"Hey, there are many fun places in Rampurchi City. Is there anything more important than enjoying mother-daughter time?"
"Of course, this is related to the survival of a store, right? If we don't keep the store, Grandpa Liu's dream will come to an end."
"What store can make you like me so much? Have you forgotten your mother's identity? I can just buy it for you."
"Forget it, don't cause trouble. Money can't buy everything."
"Well, when did my daughter become so nosy?" Anna scratched the tip of Lilith's nose with her slender fingers, "It seems that this trip has changed you a lot."
""Have you really changed?
"Hanako, are you interested in taking a look and seeing what the children are busy with?"
Hanako nodded: "Of course. Dr. Ohki will also go and have a look."
Dr. Oki shrugged: "Since you are all going, I, an old man, don't care to accompany you."
The group of people decided to go to Grandpa Liu's shop to help. What was rare was that Xiao Mao also came.Anna was also fully armed. She wore sunglasses, a mask, a wide-brimmed straw hat, and her face was covered tightly. No one came to ask for autographs.
But before I even entered the store, I heard people cursing and complaining about Grandpa Liu’s store.
"Why is this store like this?"
"That is to say, drinks were poured on my clothes. I will never come here again."
Lilith and Xiaozhi hurried to the store.Sure enough, the store was in a mess. Not only was there no customer, but the tables and chairs were all in disarray.Grandpa Liu sat in pain on a chair and held his head. Several Pokémon stood aside with their heads lowered and reflecting on their mistakes.Sure enough, something happened. These Pokémon were not qualified for the job of waiters. Instead, they became more and more chaotic and drove away all the customers in the store. Their popularity, which was high for a while, suddenly fell.
Among them, only the water elf was washing his tail without having anything to do with it.Xiaozhi's Charmander also seemed to have received a hypnotic attack, falling to the side and sleeping soundly.
Lilith glared at Shuttlecock Grass fiercely and said, "Did you spread the sleeping powder?"
"Hana. Hana." Shuttlecock shook her head quickly, but she still felt guilty and did not dare to look directly at Lilith.
Lilith asked with a stern look in her eyes: "Really"
"Hana" Shuttlecock Grass was startled by Lilith.Then he pulled back and admitted timidly.
Lilith held back a look at Shuttlecock Grass. She was very unhappy now, so she gave Shuttlecock Grass a look, which Shuttlecock Grass herself could understand.It's finished.
"What should we do now?" Xiaoxia asked.
"Pokémon's abilities are limited, so it's really too hard for them to attract customers." After all, their Pokémon have not been trained in this area. "Now the store's reputation has been damaged. Is there any way to quickly gain popularity?" "
Xiaogang touched his chin and his eyes drifted to the big sister's swimsuit outside. Suddenly he had an idea: "By the way, we can hold a beach swimsuit beauty contest."
Everyone has a lot of questions about the "Beach Swimsuit Beauty Contest".
"What's the use of doing this?" Lilith asked.
"Of course it works." Xiaogang suddenly became passionate, "Summer can make girls bolder and make them wear sexy swimsuits. Since this is the case, all girls hope to show their good figures to others, so There is no doubt that this competition will be very popular. Men will also come for girls. As long as we take advantage of this time to obtain business opportunities, we can not only spread the name of the store far and wide, but also make a lot of money."
Xiaogang has been observing beautiful women for many years and knows women better than women.Everyone nodded thoughtfully at this suggestion.
Lilith coughed lightly: "I agree with Xiaogang's plan." Lilith's face was slightly red. To be honest, Lilith also liked to look at beach beauties.
Xiao Mao shook his hair: "I can invite my girlfriends to support the scene. I also want everyone to see the charm of my girlfriends."
Xiaoxia straightened her chest and exposed her white legs: "As one of the four beauties of Hualan, I will definitely participate."
Anna was also interested: "Hanako, will our competition continue?"
"Ah, Anna, you are still thinking about the school beauty election competition that year."
"Of course, only you can compete with me for the position of school beauty. You must know that so far, the only person who is in danger to me in terms of beauty is you."
It goes without saying that Anna is the queen on the screen.But if Hanako stands next to Anna, the brilliance of Hanako will not be outdone by Anna at all.
"If it's Anna's invitation"
"Uh-huh. I'm serious this time. I want to compete with you." The battle between two women will never stop, no matter they are 10 years old or 30 years old.
Soon the matter began to be taken care of.The girls participating in the competition went to prepare early.From this look, it seems that only Lilith is not participating in the beauty pageant. Lilith is also very beautiful and has an outstanding appearance among children of the same age. However, Lilith is really not good at deliberately attracting other people's attention. force.So Lilith can only help with chores and look forward to the beauty pageant.
After accumulating a lot of popularity, the beauty pageant officially began.Fast-paced BG was played at the venue.All kinds of beauties have their own elegance, and there are many beauties with different looks. Xiaogang almost made his eyes pop out when he saw those pairs of big white legs.
Xiaoxia also appeared. Xiaoxia wore a more conservative orange one-piece swimsuit. In addition, she also performed with the starfish and received good reviews.
The finale is immediately reached.Suddenly the lights on the beach dimmed, and then they gathered in front of the red curtain.The lights shined beautifully, and the background music was changed to a more exciting one.
After a period of confusion.Two beauties have appeared on the stage. They are both wearing masks so they can't see their real faces, but looking at their faces, you can guess what they look like under the gorgeous masks.
Hanako was wearing a blue bikini with a long tulle coat.Hanako's temperament is elegant and refined. There is an aura of lightness about her body. Her skin is as good as snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks at her, she has a gentleness and elegance.
Anna has two styles with Hanako.Anna wore a daring and revealing red swimsuit with cutouts.The dark eye shadow, the watery red lips are sexy and seductive, the blond hair hanging on the chest is even more tempting, and the mask makes people want to see the true appearance underneath.The superstar's temperament immediately made Anna the focus of the stage. She is seductive yet noble, and noble yet domineering.
Anna and Hanako's swimsuits were inseparable, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.With the two of them, it would be wishful thinking for other girls to want to get the trophy.Although it was cruel, those girls were so different from Anna and Hanako.
But the final result turned out to be a tie.Should this be said to be a coincidence, or the beauty of these two people is irresistible.In desperation, they had no choice but to go on stage together to receive the trophy. In the end, there was still no winner.
But the most important thing is that the business in the store is booming, and Grandpa Liu is very grateful.After saying goodbye, Xiaozhi and Lilith also parted ways. Xiaozhi wanted to go back to the Pokémon Center, while Lilith planned to hang out with Anna for a while longer.
Waves one after another slowly roll toward the shore in the middle of the sea. They are beautiful folds of the sea; waves dance on the tops of the rows of waves, and the setting sun gradually sinks into the bottom of the sea.
"Your mother is really angry. We are tied with Hanako again," Anna yelled angrily from the side.
"Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
"Are you talking about the fact that Hanako and I used to be traveling companions? I haven't told you this before, but I set off from Zhenxin Town on the same day as Hanako."
"You know that's not what I want to know. What I want to know is the father you never mentioned."
"Lilith, you have to be sensible. Your father's job is quite special and he cannot have contact with his family."
"Don't use this to get rid of me. Three years ago, my brother and sister disappeared and my life and death were unknown. My father didn't show up. Is it because he couldn't take the initiative or because he didn't want to show up at all?"
"Lilith, how can you think like this? Do you think your mother will lie to you?"
Lilith chuckled: "Of course, because mom, you are an actor. Mom, you know, I have been to the Pokémon Academy and I know some things."
"What, have you been there already?"
"Yes. About Dad and Dad's Master Ball."
Anna took a breath and finally rubbed her temples: "Lilith, you have to know that everything mom did is for your own good. I have my own reasons for hiding your dad's things. So Lilith, mom doesn't want to You go and dig deeper into this matter. Can you promise mom?"
"I can promise you, but I hope you can tell me the truth."
"Mom really doesn't want you to touch those things. There are many things involved in those things. Mom doesn't want you to face them. She just wants you to have a good trip."
"So, as your daughter, I should have the right to know where my father is going."
"I'm sorry Lilith, you shouldn't know this now. But I promise, I will tell you everything in the future."
Anna's attitude is also very absolute.Lilith knew that there was no way to break through from Anna: "I know."
"Yes, she is my good daughter." Anna held her daughter in her arms lovingly. Lilith felt uncomfortable being squeezed like this by Anna.
"Let me go"
Lilith finally broke away from Anna's arms during her constant struggle. How come women these days always use "murder weapons".
"I haven't asked you yet, where is your travel progress now?"
"My progress should be the same as Xiaozhi's. I got 3 badges. I will take a boat to another city tomorrow."
"It's a coincidence that I won't be staying in Lampurchi for much longer. I have to fly to another place tomorrow."
"You are going on a business trip again. Where are you going this time?"
"Alola is a very far away place. I probably won't be able to come back from this trip, and it will probably take half a year at the earliest."
"Really?" Lilith tried not to show her sadness.After all, Lilith is a girl and is somewhat dependent on her parents.Anna has been on a business trip, and Lilith just pretends not to care.
"How about a battle?" Anna took out a Pokmon ball.
"My dear mother, isn't your profession a coordinating trainer and performer? In terms of performance, I admit that you are the best in the world. But in terms of fighting, is there really no problem with me, a serious trainer?"
"Since ancient times, the professions of Pokémon have not been divided into different families. Even if you look at me like my mother, I still have the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings."
"Then I really want to see it. The competition rules are 1v1, is that okay?" Lilith consciously stood on the other side of Anna.
Anna also smiled knowingly. She had known that Lilith would agree to fight: "Listen to my daughter. Let me see how much your strength has improved. Take action."
"Go, Mini Dragon." Lilith didn't dare to take it lightly when facing Anna. If it was Anna, Lilith wouldn't have to worry about the safety of the Mini Dragon.
"You recovered the Kanto Quasi-God's mini-dragon so quickly. It seems like you've had a great harvest. My Pokémon made it, Ubo."
"Wupa." Wu Bo shook his head and stretched his body after coming out.
"Mom Wubo, when did you get it?"
"This is it. Three days ago, I had nothing to do on the set and wanted to get a Pokémon to raise. Then a new student gave me this Umbo. It's actually quite cute."
"You are kidding me. You just started raising Ubo 3 days ago. So where are your Alitus and telekinesis puppets?" Alitos and telekinesis puppets are Anna's main strength.
"Why should I bring them out?"
"Then you can't fight me with the Pokémon you recovered for 3 days. Aren't you looking down on me?"
"Little Lilith can't underestimate the enemy. This Ubo is not weak. If we don't use this one, mom's other Pokémon are too strong to fight against novices like Little Lilith."
"Forget it." Lilith also didn't want to fall into Anna's trap: "The mini dragon uses high-speed movement."
"Instant amnesia." Wubo chose to improve his defense this round.The mini dragon increases speed.
"Keep this speed and use Dragon's Fury."
"Polar beam."
Wu Bo was not slow to react.The aurora beam hit the mini-dragon, causing double the damage to the mini-dragon.However, the mini dragon's use of dragon's fury was a special attack, and it did not have a big impact on Ubo, who had improved his special defense by two levels.
"There is no defense," Lilith said in surprise. She thought that the Mini Dragon Power Wubo would defend first, but she didn't expect that it would directly counterattack.
"Little Lilith, remember. Tactics are not the only ones. Ubo, earthquake."
"Mini dragon, this time we also attack and rush forward using the dragon tail"
"Dragon Tail's move was correct, but Wubo stopped attacking and guarded."
The Ubo Guardian was successful, and the Mini Dragon was of no use.Another round wasted.
"What's the change in tactics?"
"Hmm, the tactic is to keep the dead alive. Ubo, use the Aurora Beam."
Lilith paused for a moment, and Ubo hit the mini-dragon again.Ice-type skills are too powerful against dragon-types, and the mini-dragon didn't have much health left after being hit this time.
"Mini dragon, are you okay?"
The "mini" mini dragon was seriously injured, and the most tragic thing was that it was frostbitten.
"Ubo, come back. Lilith, that's it." Anna took back Ubo.
""Lilith's face was not very pretty, even though this was not a formal competition.But her main force was lost to a Pokémon that had just been recovered not long ago.Lilith lowered her head: "I lost."
"A sad face doesn't suit Lilith. Lilith should face failure with a smile, right?"
"No. It's a good second grade"
"Ah, my daughter is being arrogant again. Mom loves it so much."
"It's such a failure that I would lose to such a weak Pokémon." And Lilith did not underestimate the enemy during the battle, but she was killed in a few strokes.
"Lilith, listen up. No one's success is not based on failure. When you fail, your first reaction should not be to think about how to train your Pokémon next, but to analyze the failure first. Fight. Although mom will rarely be by your side in the future, Lilith, you don’t have to be afraid of failure. When you fail, there are still many people behind you supporting you. Do you understand?"
"Mom, I will remember it." Lilith knew that Anna's words meant that she would not have to put too much pressure on herself to face the bad things about going to the alliance.
But how is this possible, but at least Lilith can't let Anna worry about her anymore, and Lilith has also proven that she can do it.
The setting sun completely sank into the sea.When the time came, Lilith had to say goodbye to Anna. Although Anna cried and fussed at the moment of separation, Lilith's ears hurt, and finally she sent Anna away.
Lilith was now sure that Anna must know a lot of information, which was an indispensable condition if she wanted to find her father Hanako.But Lilith swore that no matter what complicated truth it was, she would definitely solve it and find her real memory.
The moody dim yellow lights in the cafe smudge on the walls, exuding a sense of tranquility.Apart from Lilith and the others, there was only one store manager who was cleaning mugs on the counter.Elegant classical music echoed in this small space, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of coffee.

Soon the matter began to be taken care of.The girls participating in the competition went to prepare early.From this look, it seems that only Lilith is not participating in the beauty pageant. Lilith is also very beautiful and has an outstanding appearance among children of the same age. However, Lilith is really not good at deliberately attracting other people's attention. force.So Lilith can only help with chores and look forward to the beauty pageant.
After accumulating a lot of popularity, the beauty pageant officially began.Fast-paced BG was played at the venue.All kinds of beauties have their own elegance, and there are many beauties with different looks. Xiaogang almost made his eyes pop out when he saw those pairs of big white legs.
Xiaoxia also appeared. Xiaoxia wore a more conservative orange one-piece swimsuit. In addition, she also performed with the starfish and received good reviews.
The finale is immediately reached.Suddenly the lights on the beach dimmed, and then they gathered in front of the red curtain.The lights shined beautifully, and the background music was changed to a more exciting one.
After a period of confusion.Two beauties have appeared on the stage. They are both wearing masks so they can't see their real faces, but looking at their faces, you can guess what they look like under the gorgeous masks.
Hanako was wearing a blue bikini with a long tulle coat.Hanako's temperament is elegant and refined. There is an aura of lightness about her body. Her skin is as good as snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks at her, she has a gentleness and elegance.
Anna has two styles with Hanako.Anna wore a daring and revealing red swimsuit with cutouts.The dark eye shadow, the watery red lips are sexy and seductive, the blond hair hanging on the chest is even more tempting, and the mask makes people want to see the true appearance underneath.The superstar's temperament immediately made Anna the focus of the stage. She is seductive yet noble, and noble yet domineering.
Anna and Hanako's swimsuits were inseparable, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.With the two of them, it would be wishful thinking for other girls to want to get the trophy.Although it was cruel, those girls were so different from Anna and Hanako.
But the final result turned out to be a tie.Should this be said to be a coincidence, or the beauty of these two people is irresistible.In desperation, they had no choice but to go on stage together to receive the trophy. In the end, there was still no winner.
But the most important thing is that the business in the store is booming, and Grandpa Liu is very grateful.After saying goodbye, Xiaozhi and Lilith also parted ways. Xiaozhi wanted to go back to the Pokémon Center, while Lilith planned to hang out with Anna for a while longer.
Waves one after another slowly roll toward the shore in the middle of the sea. They are beautiful folds of the sea; waves dance on the tops of the rows of waves, and the setting sun gradually sinks into the bottom of the sea.
"Your mother is really angry. We are tied with Hanako again," Anna yelled angrily from the side.
"Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
"Are you talking about the fact that Hanako and I used to be traveling companions? I haven't told you this before, but I set off from Zhenxin Town on the same day as Hanako."
"You know that's not what I want to know. What I want to know is the father you never mentioned."
"Lilith, you have to be sensible. Your father's job is quite special and he cannot have contact with his family."
"Don't use this to get rid of me. Three years ago, my brother and sister disappeared and my life and death were unknown. My father didn't show up. Is it because he couldn't take the initiative or because he didn't want to show up at all?"
"Lilith, how can you think like this? Do you think your mother will lie to you?"
Lilith chuckled: "Of course, because mom, you are an actor. Mom, you know, I have been to the Pokémon Academy and I know some things."
"What, have you been there already?"
"Yes. About Dad and Dad's Master Ball."
Anna took a breath and finally rubbed her temples: "Lilith, you have to know that everything mom did is for your own good. I have my own reasons for hiding your dad's things. So Lilith, mom doesn't want to You go and dig deeper into this matter. Can you promise mom?"
"I can promise you, but I hope you can tell me the truth."
"Mom really doesn't want you to touch those things. There are many things involved in those things. Mom doesn't want you to face them. She just wants you to have a good trip."
"So, as your daughter, I should have the right to know where my father is going."
"I'm sorry Lilith, you shouldn't know this now. But I promise, I will tell you everything in the future."
Anna's attitude is also very absolute.Lilith knew that there was no way to break through from Anna: "I know."
"Yes, she is my good daughter." Anna held her daughter in her arms lovingly. Lilith felt uncomfortable being squeezed like this by Anna.
"Let me go"
Lilith finally broke away from Anna's arms during her constant struggle. How come women these days always use "murder weapons".
"I haven't asked you yet, where is your travel progress now?"
"My progress should be the same as Xiaozhi's. I got 3 badges. I will take a boat to another city tomorrow."
"It's a coincidence that I won't be staying in Lampurchi for much longer. I have to fly to another place tomorrow."
"You are going on a business trip again. Where are you going this time?"
"Alola is a very far away place. I probably won't be able to come back from this trip, and it will probably take half a year at the earliest."
"Really?" Lilith tried not to show her sadness.After all, Lilith is a girl and is somewhat dependent on her parents.Anna has been on a business trip, and Lilith just pretends not to care.
"How about a battle?" Anna took out a Pokmon ball.
"My dear mother, isn't your profession a coordinating trainer and performer? In terms of performance, I admit that you are the best in the world. But in terms of fighting, is there really no problem with me, a serious trainer?"
"Since ancient times, the professions of Pokémon have not been divided into different families. Even if you look at me like my mother, I still have the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings."
"Then I really want to see it. The competition rules are 1v1, is that okay?" Lilith consciously stood on the other side of Anna.
Anna also smiled knowingly. She had known that Lilith would agree to fight: "Listen to my daughter. Let me see how much your strength has improved. Take action."
"Go, Mini Dragon." Lilith didn't dare to take it lightly when facing Anna. If it was Anna, Lilith wouldn't have to worry about the safety of the Mini Dragon.
"You recovered the Kanto Quasi-God's mini-dragon so quickly. It seems like you've had a great harvest. My Pokémon made it, Ubo."
"Wupa." Wu Bo shook his head and stretched his body after coming out.
"Mom Wubo, when did you get it?"
"This is it. Three days ago, I had nothing to do on the set and wanted to get a Pokémon to raise. Then a new student gave me this Umbo. It's actually quite cute."
"You are kidding me. You just started raising Ubo 3 days ago. So where are your Alitus and telekinesis puppets?" Alitos and telekinesis puppets are Anna's main strength.
"Why should I bring them out?"
"Then you can't fight me with the Pokémon you recovered for 3 days. Aren't you looking down on me?"
"Little Lilith can't underestimate the enemy. This Ubo is not weak. If we don't use this one, mom's other Pokémon are too strong to fight against novices like Little Lilith."
"Forget it." Lilith also didn't want to fall into Anna's trap: "The mini dragon uses high-speed movement."
"Instant amnesia." Wubo chose to improve his defense this round.The mini dragon increases speed.
"Keep this speed and use Dragon's Fury."
"Polar beam."
Wu Bo was not slow to react.The aurora beam hit the mini-dragon, causing double the damage to the mini-dragon.However, the mini dragon's use of dragon's fury was a special attack, and it did not have a big impact on Ubo, who had improved his special defense by two levels.
"There is no defense," Lilith said in surprise. She thought that the Mini Dragon Power Wubo would defend first, but she didn't expect that it would directly counterattack.
"Little Lilith, remember. Tactics are not the only ones. Ubo, earthquake."
"Mini dragon, this time we also attack and rush forward using the dragon tail"
"Dragon Tail's move was correct, but Wubo stopped attacking and guarded."
The Ubo Guardian was successful, and the Mini Dragon was of no use.Another round wasted.
"What's the change in tactics?"
"Hmm, the tactic is to keep the dead alive. Ubo, use the Aurora Beam."
Lilith paused for a moment, and Ubo hit the mini-dragon again.Ice-type skills are too powerful against dragon-types, and the mini-dragon didn't have much health left after being hit this time.
"Mini dragon, are you okay?"
The "mini" mini dragon was seriously injured, and the most tragic thing was that it was frostbitten.
"Ubo, come back. Lilith, that's it." Anna took back Ubo.
""Lilith's face was not very pretty, even though this was not a formal competition.But her main force was lost to a Pokémon that had just been recovered not long ago.Lilith lowered her head: "I lost."
"A sad face doesn't suit Lilith. Lilith should face failure with a smile, right?"
"No. It's a good second grade"
"Ah, my daughter is being arrogant again. Mom loves it so much."
"It's such a failure that I would lose to such a weak Pokémon." And Lilith did not underestimate the enemy during the battle, but she was killed in a few strokes.
"Lilith, listen up. No one's success is not based on failure. When you fail, your first reaction should not be to think about how to train your Pokémon next, but to analyze the failure first. Fight. Although mom will rarely be by your side in the future, Lilith, you don’t have to be afraid of failure. When you fail, there are still many people behind you supporting you. Do you understand?"
"Mom, I will remember it." Lilith knew that Anna's words meant that she would not have to put too much pressure on herself to face the bad things about going to the alliance.
But how is this possible, but at least Lilith can't let Anna worry about her anymore, and Lilith has also proven that she can do it.
The setting sun completely sank into the sea.When the time came, Lilith had to say goodbye to Anna. Although Anna cried and fussed at the moment of separation, Lilith's ears hurt, and finally she sent Anna away.
Lilith was now sure that Anna must know a lot of information, which was an indispensable condition if she wanted to find her father Hanako.But Lilith swore that no matter what complicated truth it was, she would definitely solve it and find her real memory.
