Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [390]

August made a point of correcting Lillie in a serious tone: at work, she really shouldn’t call him Father.

After that, August pulled Lillie into the group chat.

[System Notification]: ‘GardevoirSupremacy’ has invited ‘Lillie’ to join the chat group.

[Gold]: Welcome!

[Silver]: Welcome aboard.

[YoungMasterGary]: Huh? I’m only away for two days, and there’s a new member?

[PsychicPrettyGirl]: This is August’s daughter, you know.

[YoungMasterGary]: !?]

[PsychicPrettyGirl]: Not just a daughter—August has a wife now too!

[YoungMasterGary]: (shocked) Seriously?!

[System Notification]: ‘PsychicPrettyGirl’ has been muted.

[System Notification]: ‘YoungMasterGary’ has been muted.

[GardevoirSupremacy]: For the record, those are just rumors.

Over in Johto, Gary wasn’t even bothered about being muted—he was all wide-eyed, eating up the gossip.

Rumors?

Gary didn’t believe it for a second. If there was one thing he knew about August, it was that the more August tried to clarify, the more suspicious it looked.

He was itching to hop a plane to Alola right now and see what was really going on.

What Suicune? Never heard of it!

Lillie, meanwhile, was a little taken aback to see two people get muted so fast in the group.

“Don’t mind them,” August said, giving the grinning Sabrina a pointed look.

Lillie nodded, but after glancing at everyone’s nicknames in the group, she thought for a moment and set one for herself.

[System Notification]: ‘Lillie’ has changed her name to ‘GoGoLillie’.

“Uh… Nice nickname,” August managed, holding back a comment.

He turned to Lusamine, who seemed much better now that the headache had eased.

“President, do you remember anything new?”

According to his theory, Lusamine should—

Lusamine hung her head, voice low. “My husband left me and Lillie…”

August perked up.

Wait, could she finally be remembering that I’m not—

But before he could finish the thought, Lusamine looked up, eyes red, and threw herself into his arms.

“Dear, where have you been all these years?!”

August: “……”

So she remembered… but also kind of didn’t.

He was officially out of ideas…

...

With Team Rocket purged, the Aether Foundation was slowly returning to normal.

And, with no base of operations in Alola, August ended up living at Aether Paradise for the time being.

Not that he couldn’t afford a hotel—
But hotels lacked privacy, and nothing was as convenient as Aether Paradise.

Besides, August had to coach Lillie, who’d just joined the International Police, and keep an eye on Lusamine’s health.

He refused to believe he couldn’t cure a little amnesia.

Aether Paradise – Training Grounds

“Lillie, let’s see your Pokémon.”

Lillie nodded and took out a Heal Ball.

Pop!

A flash of light—

A Clefairy appeared before her.

“Clef!”

The moment Clefairy saw Lillie, it rushed over, grabbing onto her leg and glaring warily at August.

“Clefairy… don’t be like that!”

“It’s just worried about you,” August explained. “I’d guess it’s mistaking me for one of those Team Rocket thugs from before.”

He pulled out a Pokéblock, offering it to the nervous Clefairy to calm it down.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lillie accepted the Pokéblock from August, eyes wide.

“Teacher, you can understand what Clefairy’s saying?”

“I wouldn’t go that far,” August replied. “I just get the gist of what it’s trying to say.”

But even that was enough to make Lillie’s eyes sparkle.

“Mr. August, could you teach me how to do that?” Lillie asked, full of hope.

August: “...That’s actually a special ability of mine.”

The [Power of Viridian] wasn’t something he could just teach.

But, seeing Lillie’s disappointed face, he added, “But even if you can’t master my special power, as long as you spend enough time with your Pokémon, you’ll start to understand them better.”

Lillie perked up, her mood improving.

“Let’s start with something simple.”

August reached up and plucked Mew, who’d been napping on his shoulder after lunch.

Dangling a drowsy, half-awake Mew by the scruff, August explained,

“Pokémon battles aren’t just about levels or type matchups. What matters most are the moves your Pokémon know, and the bond between you and your team.”

“The more moves a Pokémon can use, the more tactics you have in battle.”

“And the strength of your bond determines how far you can push your Pokémon’s abilities.”

“To train both, your first goal today is to have Clefairy learn [Dazzling Gleam]—without using a TM!”

“Mew, show Clefairy how it’s done.”

Still half-asleep and sulking about being woken up, Mew tugged on August’s hair, but grudgingly unleashed a [Dazzling Gleam] for demonstration.

Lillie and Clefairy watched closely, taking in every detail.

Sabrina, watching August’s lesson with Lillie, asked, “Blue, do you think Lillie is really August’s daughter?”

“Didn’t August say she isn’t?” Blue replied.

“I still think there’s something off about this,” Sabrina said, glancing at Cynthia.

Cynthia, meanwhile, was perfectly content with her Alolan tropical berry ice cream—a flavor you couldn’t find in Sinnoh.

Noticing Sabrina’s look, Cynthia tapped her chin thoughtfully.

“I trust August.”

That stumped Sabrina for a second.

Could she be overthinking things?

Meanwhile, as August trained Lillie—

Po Town

Having wiped out Team Skull and taken over Po Town, Giovanni now stood in the main building, looking thoroughly unimpressed.

Moving from Aether Paradise to Po Town felt like going from a mansion to a slum.

He couldn’t fathom how Team Skull had managed to survive in a place like this—much less call it their base.

Finally, Faba arrived, delivering a full report on what had happened at Aether Paradise.

On his way, Faba had tried to contact his old agents within the Aether Foundation.

But, since they’d all been outed as Rocket moles, every last one was unreachable now that Lusamine had taken back control.

“Boss Giovanni, we should strike back! We can’t just let them keep the Aether Foundation!” Faba insisted. “Plus, the key Pokémon needed to open the Ultra Wormhole—Cosmog—is still in their hands.”

Giovanni didn’t respond—he just continued flipping through the files in his hand.
