So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

The cave was filled with mist, and glistening water droplets dripped from the white marble pillars. As the footsteps approached, the water droplets fell into puddles on the ground. Blue ripples flowed on the walls, illuminating the cave environment. Before long, a cave emitting a faint blue light came into view.

Water cascades down from above, forming a continuous waterfall in the middle of the cave, with white waves surging below. The wonders of nature, combined with a series of coincidences, have created a natural landscape in the underwater cave that cannot be replicated by human hands.

"It's unbelievable that this cave leads to Kirachi Island?" Wei Xin exclaimed in amazement.

"Hmm, this was originally Kyogre's sleeping cave, but it underwent some minor changes after Jirachi repaired it," Lillie said, turning her gaze to Diancie. "What do you think?"

"The space is vast and interconnected, it's practically a natural palace, perfect for my people to live in." Tianxi nodded repeatedly, very satisfied.

"Then I'll contact the professors immediately to arrange for the relocation of the small diamonds." Wei Xin took out his phone, only to find there was no signal in the cave. "Let's wait until we get up there."

At the same time, he sensed a faint waveguide within the water curtain of the cave, and the smell of the sea.

"I hope there's no Kyogre inside the water curtain."

"Yes, after Jirachi repaired Hoenn, it put Groudon and Kyogre, who had lost their powers, back into the cave. Kyogre, who had lost its powers and turned into a stone statue, is still there. However, the indigo and crimson orbs have been destroyed, so theoretically, there is no possibility for them to revive."

If it weren't for the fear of trouble, Lillie would definitely have chosen to turn it into a tourist attraction.

"But to prevent a repeat of the Hoenn incident, we're preparing to add another layer of defense. Groudon will be guarded by someone sent by Mr. Wallace, and as for Kyogre—Tianci, could you be entrusted with its guard?"

"Of course, guarding and protecting are our specialties."

"Don't push yourself. If anything unusual happens, remember to come find me immediately." Wei Xin patted Tianxi's little head.

"So, even when there are no unusual circumstances, can I still come to see you?"

Diancie held Wei Xin's hand, turned her head, and focused her gaze on the trainer. Her beautiful gem-like pupils blinked repeatedly, shining brightly in the cave's light. She pursed her lips and smiled.

Oh, she's so cute.

Wei Xin sensed a subtle emotion emanating from himself.

I never imagined that I would be charmed by Pokémon one day.

"Always!" Wei Xin replied, then remembered something else and turned to ask Lillie, "Speaking of Groudon and Kyogre, Team Aqua and Team Magma, how did Hoenn handle that?"

Inside a man-made underground pit beneath Kilachi Island, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and stifling.

Inside the cave, a computer displays a series of complex diagrams, recording real-time data on the underwater volcano. A young woman in a white coat sits on a natural stone bench inside the pit, one hand reaching under her shirt to climb and rub.

Long, bare legs were intertwined, and above them lay a red tablet. The content on it was not information about the volcano, but photos of the Hoenn incident and the Grand Contest. Each photo showed a dashing figure with long black hair, and the clearest one was the photo of him appearing in the Grand Contest, radiating brilliance.

"Ah, what a magnificent figure—the hero who saved Hoenn, and then, the one who gave me a second life and a second chance at sin, my—hero."

In a daze, I saw the figure I had been longing for right before my eyes.

He was as handsome as ever, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.

So, is it true that I, burdened with such sins, can only meet you in my dreams?

Before she could even call out the person's name with joy, still in a daze, the person pointed at her and extended a finger.

"The volcanology PhD you mentioned, is she the one?" Wei Xin looked away from the mess on the ground and glanced at Lillie, his face showing surprise.

This is a sickly, obsessed woman who was slacking off before work and had just finished strenuous exercise.

And the photos on the tablet—was I being used as material for a spell?

Is this reasonable?

I was wondering why Waveguide could be so excited about someone working in a place like this.

Lillie rested her arms on her hands, closed her eyes in resignation, rubbed her forehead, and sighed. They had come at a really bad time.

Working hours in an empty cave at 07:21, who would have thought?

This is too depressing! Can't you just keep it to yourself?

"To be honest, it's her, Firebird, a former member of Team Magma, the youngest and top geology and volcanology PhD in the Hoenn region, a former Contest of the Grand Prix contestant, and — your fan."

"She and some members of Team Magma and Team Aqua are currently participating in the protection, reclamation, and development of Jirachi Island as inmates. Hoenn's laws are relatively lenient, and they don't even have a proper prison. In addition, you stepped in to save Hoenn from a large amount of losses, so their actions have only been condemned to a certain extent. In conclusion, you have indeed given them a second life."

"In their eyes, you're only one rank lower than Groudon and Kyogre."

In order to quickly build a force of her own, rather than spending money to recruit soldiers and start from scratch, Lillie chose to directly recruit members from Team Aqua and Team Magma.

With nowhere else to go, the Hoenn League's assistance in management, their sufficient loyalty, and their excellent ability to operate an illegal organization were also important reasons why Lillie chose to bring them to the island.

As for minor flaws, they are still acceptable.

Wei Xin couldn't help but marvel at Lillie's incredible courage.

"Furthermore, everyone in the Hoenn region is passionate about the Grand Contest, and you are a star contestant in the Grand Contest, making you quite popular in the Hoenn region. In addition, you showed great mercy by saving her life during your trip to the Whirl Islands, and she is actually a sucker for good looks—so she should be considered your biggest fan."

After their conversation ended, the two turned their attention back to Huoyan. The sweltering air was thick with the pungent smell of burning meat, a smell that seemed to overload the brain.

The cave fell into a deathly silence, and the exhausted fire goose helplessly felt the gazes of the two.

Only when the toes suddenly regained feeling and clenched, eerie construction sounds rang out in the silent cave. The sound of excavation of a three-bedroom, one-living-room house could be heard under the cave floor, along with a garden of over a hundred square meters, a sulfur hot spring created using volcanic energy, and an awkwardness and suicidal impulse that had nowhere to go.

And the silent scream from the girl's mouth.

Why didn't you knock when you came in?

She was completely overwhelmed by a tidal wave of sorrow when she discovered that the underground cave had no door at all.

If you secretly cast a spell while at work and get caught by your idol and his girlfriend, your career as a fan is completely over, right?

Lillie glanced at the volcano data on the computer. The changes were within the threshold and very stable. Although there were many flaws in her personality and even character, Huoyan's professional skills were still commendable.

No one is perfect.

But it could be the end.

"Slacking off during work hours is prohibited."

Lillie gave a brief instruction but didn't mention deducting wages, because the inmates on the island didn't receive wages, only room and board and a monthly allowance of one hundred. Deducting more might even put them in debt, as their assets had already been confiscated by Hoenn.

Grabbing Wei Xin's hand, she politely crawled out through the crack in the ground that Huo Yan had dug.

Only in the cave remained a white soul, about to ascend to heaven, its body devoid of color, reduced to white ash, contemplating where to find a rope to hang itself in the cave.

In just a few minutes, they endured an embarrassment far exceeding their lifespan.

It wasn't until much later, when she received a message from Lillie, that she saw a close-up photo of Wei Xin and her sadness turned to joy.
