Chapter 996: Mother-daughter dispute! The ultimate aura

"Lilia!" Lusamine stood up from the sofa as soon as she saw Lilia. "It's been a long time since we last met. Are you guys good?"

"What do you mean by being a good boy..." Lillie saw that she was about to hug her, so she quickly dodged to the side and cleverly avoided Lusamine's hug, "This is so embarrassing, mother!"

Lusamine obviously didn't expect Liliae to dodge. She was stunned for a moment, but soon came to her senses. The smile on her face did not diminish at all, but became even brighter. "Oh my goodness, why are you so shy! You were just a little kid not long ago!"

Having said that, Lusamine turned around and her eyes fell on the white Pokémon in Liliae's arms. She said with a look of surprise, "Liliae, you can get along with Pokémon now? That's great! So good!"

Before she finished her words, Lusamine excitedly hugged Liliae tightly in her arms, happily rubbing Liliae's golden hair vigorously with her hands.

Liliae was a little overwhelmed by Lusamine's intimate behavior, especially when there were outsiders present. Her face was as red as a ripe apple, and she was so shy that she was about to drip with water.

"I've already told you that this makes me feel very embarrassed!" Lillie pushed Lusamine away angrily, saying, "Mother has never considered my feelings! She only forces her own ideas on me!"

"No... No, I didn't, Liliae..." Seeing Liliae's angry look, Lusamine quickly waved her hands to deny it.

However, Liliae was not calmed by her denial. Instead, she became even more excited and asked loudly, "The same thing happened with Pixie! When I was away, you used the Moon Stone to evolve Pixie into Pixie! You won't deny it!"

"I just want it to stay skinny, but mother didn't listen to me at all!"

Facing Liliae's strong questioning, Lusamine poked her hand in confusion, "Because Pipi is my Pokémon~ And the reason you think Pipi is better is actually because..."

"Because it's cute!" Liliae answered without hesitation, "To me, it's most scientifically logical for Pipi to remain as cute as it is!"

"Liliae instantly became lively in front of her mother!" Xiaozhi was stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect Liliae to have such a side, or this is her true face. How should I put it? It's a little cute.

"That's true." Dr. Kukui agreed, with a hint of surprise on his face. It was obvious that he had never seen Liliae like this before.

He quickly stepped forward, interrupting the heated argument between mother and daughter, then walked to Dr. Barnett and introduced him to Xiaozhi: "This is Dr. Barnett."

"Dr. Barnett is currently conducting Pokémon research at the Aether Foundation, where Liliae's mother, Lusamine, is the chairman."

Lusamine then smiled and held out her hand to Xiaozhi, "I'm Lusamine, please give me your guidance, Xiaozhi!"

Xiaozhi politely extended his hand and shook hers, then Lusamine turned around and introduced, "These two are our foundation's employees, Pico and Zaobo!"

When Pico heard Lusamine's introduction, she smiled enthusiastically. She waved to Xiaozhi and said hello: "Alola~"

Then, she introduced herself: "I am in charge of the protection of Pokémon at the foundation. My name is Pico. Please give me your guidance!"

Finally, Dr. Zaobo stepped forward, with a hint of arrogance in his tone, and said, "I am the leader of the research department. My name is Zaobo."

Then Xiaozhi introduced himself, and Lusamine came to Xiaozhi with an expectant look on her face, "Without further ado, can we meet Nebula?"

Xiaozhi nodded and did not refuse. Of course, before coming in, he asked Menghuan and the others to become invisible, otherwise it would be troublesome if they were discovered by these researchers.

So Xiaozhi opened his backpack in front of everyone to reveal the sleeping Xiao Xingyun.

"Good, good, what a good boy~" Lusamine looked at this cute little guy and couldn't help teasing him with her fingers.

"This child is indeed related to the Ultra Beast. Perhaps it is the Ultra Beast!" There was a hint of excitement and expectation in Dr. Barnett's voice. She completed the test quickly and came to this astonishing conclusion.

However, Xiaozhi was not surprised by this conclusion. After all, he knew the identity of Cosmog very well. Cosmog was not only a legendary Pokémon in the Alola region, but also the initial form of Ultra Beasts Solgaleo and Lunala.

"Please take a look at this!" Dr. Barnett said as he opened his laptop. A picture of a mural that looked very ancient soon appeared on the screen.

This mural clearly depicts a fierce battle between the four island guardians of the Alola region and several strangely shaped creatures.

"A long time ago, a very fierce battle broke out between a mysterious creature from another world and the guardian of Alola..." Dr. Barnett slowly told the story behind the mural and turned back to look at everyone, "Have you heard of this legend?"

"I read about this in a book!" Liliae answered first, "Those creatures from another world in the legend are most likely what you are talking about now, right?"

Hearing this, Lusamine's eyes lit up instantly, and she hugged Lillie tightly again with a look of joy on her face, "Lillie really studied hard. It seems that sending you to the Pokémon School to study is really a very correct decision!"

However, Liliae did not appreciate her mother's praise. She pushed Lusamine away with all her strength, showing obvious dissatisfaction on her face, and retorted: "No! I've already said that I wanted to come here to study on my own. It has nothing to do with mother!"

Dr. Zaobo on the side jumped out and said, "Any substance related to the other world and the Ultimate Beasts will emit a special 'Ultimate Aura'!

"And our research institute is currently doing its best to detect the specific value of this ultimate aura!"

As soon as Dr. Zaobo finished speaking, Miss Pico immediately echoed, "That's right. And just last night, we detected an Ultimate Aura that was much higher than usual not far from the Sun Altar on Poni Island!"

As she spoke, she also specially called up the footage of the Sun Altar to show everyone. Apparently, this was when Solgaleo and Lunala entrusted Nebula to Xiaozhi.

Dr. Zaobo stared at the detector on his wrist, pushed his glasses, and said slowly: "And just now, I also detected the ultimate aura in this room."

It has been confirmed without a doubt that Little Nebula is the ultimate beast.

Lusamine looked at Ash with a serious look on her face, "Ash, can you please leave Nebula in the care of the Aether Foundation?"

"Yes, Xiaozhi!" Seeing this, Pico on the side also quickly agreed, "The Aether Foundation is an organization dedicated to serving Pokémon. We have a large number of equipment and professional technologies that can closely protect Pokémon. You can rest assured to leave Nebula to us!"

However, facing Lusamine and Pico's request, Xiaozhi shook his head without hesitation, "Sorry! I can't hand Nebula over to you. In fact, Nebula was entrusted to me by Solgaleo and Lunala yesterday."

Then he told everyone about his dream yesterday without hiding anything.
