Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [389]

As the first organization to discover and study Ultra Beasts, the Aether Foundation naturally had some knowledge of them—though their research mainly focused on Ultra Wormholes.

As for Nihilego, they’d simply given it the code name UB01.

“...To better capture Ultra Beasts, we developed this specialized Poké Ball, called the Beast Ball,” Wicke explained, producing a blue, mesh-patterned Poké Ball.

Beast Ball!

Gold took it from Wicke, examining it with curiosity. “Is this Poké Ball made using special technology?”

The odd-looking design reminded Gold of all sorts of specialty Poké Balls forged from metal.

“Yes. Ordinary Poké Balls can barely capture Ultra Beasts, but in theory, the Beast Ball increases the catch rate for them.” Wicke added, “But the cost to make one is extremely high—just a single Beast Ball costs about four million yen.”

“F-four million?!”

Gold’s hand shook so badly he nearly dropped the ball, fumbling to keep his grip before hurriedly handing it back to Wicke.

If he broke that, he’d probably be in debt for life.

Even Cynthia and the others glanced over in surprise. They’d known Aether Foundation was wealthy, but four million yen per ball was beyond anything they’d imagined!

Sabrina’s gaze hovered between August and Lusamine, a wary look on her face.

[PsychicPrettyGirl]: August, you’re not actually going to go through with this and become Lusamine’s husband, are you?

If he really married Lusamine, it wasn’t just a matter of skipping decades of hard work—more like skipping several lifetimes!

Even knowing August’s temperament, Sabrina couldn’t help but worry—what if he couldn’t resist the temptation...?

[GardevoirSupremacy]: ...What are you talking about?

At that moment, Wicke glanced at Lusamine before passing the Beast Ball to August.

“Mr. August, this is for you.”

With the Ultra Wormhole closed, there was no way to send UB01 back for now. Of those present, only August and Cynthia were truly strong enough to control an Ultra Beast.

But given that August was now “the president’s husband,” Wicke naturally handed the ball to him.

Sabrina shot August a look that said, And you still claim you’re not?

August: “......”

But refusing would only look more suspicious, so he simply accepted the Beast Ball from Wicke.

He tapped the ball lightly against Nihilego’s unconscious form.

In the next instant, Nihilego was sucked inside.

Having been battered by both Gardevoir and Cynthia’s Garchomp, Nihilego had no fight left in it—capture was a breeze.

But August didn’t keep the Ultra Beast for himself.

Instead, he handed the ball back to Wicke.

“I suspect Lusamine’s memory loss is connected to the Ultra Beasts. Let UB01 stay with Aether Foundation for now—see if you can find a way to cure her.”

If Lusamine didn’t recover soon, August was the one who’d collapse first.

Lusamine was like a catfish let loose in his carefully tended garden, wreaking havoc on the stable little ecosystem he’d worked so hard to build.

But from Wicke and Lillie’s perspective, August’s gesture looked like pure concern from a husband for his wife.

Their earlier doubts were now all but erased.

Wicke took the Beast Ball, nodding vigorously. “I’ll do everything I can to find a cure for the president’s headaches!”

With that, she hurried off with Nihilego.

In the now-peaceful conservation area—

“Mew~”

With Nihilego gone, Mew gazed up at the sky, looking rather melancholic, her toy having been taken away.

Cosmog, still in Lillie’s arms, blinked at Mew’s gloom.

A gentle light began to glow on Cosmog’s body.

The next second—

A shimmer appeared where the Ultra Wormhole had vanished.

As the Ultra Space energy flared up again, alarms began to sound throughout Aether Paradise.

Everyone: “???”

Mew, on the other hand, looked ecstatic.

Luckily, Cosmog had only just awoken and didn’t have enough energy to fully open another Ultra Wormhole.

As the light faded from Cosmog, the rift gradually faded, the world returning to normal.

But now, everyone was eyeing Cosmog differently.

So Ultra Space could be opened at any time?

Lillie, holding Cosmog, looked helpless. She’d never dealt with anything like this—what was she supposed to do? Lock Cosmog away again?

Even though they hadn’t been together long, Lillie had already formed a deep bond with Cosmog.

She couldn’t bear the thought of shutting it away again.

Seeing her distress, August thought for a moment, then said, “Lillie, have you ever considered joining the International Police as an intern?”

His idea was simple: bring Lillie into the Kanto branch as a trainee, so she could learn how to communicate with Cosmog and help it control its powers—preventing random Ultra Wormhole mishaps.

“Eh? I can do that?”

Lillie didn’t know much about the International Police, but from what she’d seen of August, it had to be an amazing organization. Could she really join?

August nodded.

“Of course. If you join, I’ll teach you some basics of Pokémon battling too—so you can protect yourself if you ever run into Team Rocket.”

As for qualifications…

If even Gary could join, why not Lillie?

But in Lillie’s mind, her only reason for being able to join was August. She hesitated, then expressed her thanks in the only way she could think of, whispering:

“Thank you, Father…”

Blue: “?”

Sabrina: “?”

Cynthia: “?”

Gold and Silver: “?”

Lillie’s words shocked them more than any of Lusamine’s “husband” declarations ever could.
After all, everyone could see Lusamine’s condition was... not quite right—no one took her at her word.

But Lillie was perfectly normal!

Now Lillie was calling August “Father”...

Mew blinked, studying Lillie with new interest.

Even Mewtwo calls August Father. Could Lillie be a creation like Mewtwo too? If that’s the case, humans must be amazing!

Gardevoir, drinking from a paper cup, crushed it in her hand, fixing August with a deadly stare.

August covered his face with his hand, utterly defeated.

“You guys… let me explain, it’s really not what you think…”
