Chapter 368: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [368]
Lillie was worried.
It wasn't her mother she was worried about—she believed that her teacher, Luo Yuan, was someone who always acted with discretion. If her mother truly had nothing to do with the situation, Luo Yuan wouldn't make things difficult for her.
Her main concern was for Luo Yuan.
The image of Nihilego in her memory was vivid and haunting. She feared Luo Yuan might encounter such Pokémon and get attacked.
Though...
Hearing Lillie's concerns, Luo Yuan gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry."
Nihilego might be terrifying to ordinary people, but to Luo Yuan, with his psychic abilities, the Rock/Poison-type Ultra Beast couldn't pose a real threat. It was impossible for it to parasitize him, and without that ability, it couldn't do much to harm him.
"Are you coming with me, Sabrina?" Luo Yuan asked.
Sabrina closed the novel she was halfway through, glanced at Lillie, and shook her head. "I'll stay here to protect Lillie."
This was to prevent Lusamine from pulling any tricks while Luo Yuan was at Aether Paradise—like sneaking in to take Lillie away.
Though such an act wouldn't affect their plans much, it would create unnecessary trouble.
