Chapter 871: Chapter 1088: Follow Her
After accepting the items from Julian, Ella didn't consume them immediately—that would have seemed somewhat improper, as if she feared Julian might regret giving them to her. Of course, she also knew Julian would never have such thoughts.
Her gaze then fell upon the Liligant beside Julian. She had noticed it earlier—after all, with that golden appearance shining in the sunlight, it was impossible not to.
It was just that, after not seeing Julian for so long, she naturally wanted to talk with him first.
"This is Liligant, a friend of mine," Julian explained when he noticed her gaze.
"Friend?"
Ella was surprised. So this Lilligant wasn't the Commander's Pokémon?
"Yes. I brought it out from the Primal Secret Realm. It's the ruler of the Crimson Mirelands," Julian said.
As Julian's secretary, Ella was privy to many confidential matters—after all, the documents she handled for him were often highly classified.
She was also quite familiar with information about the Primal Secret Realm, knowing just as much as the Grand Elder. So she knew there were five King-form Pokémon inside.
And their most distinctive feature was that they were all golden in color.
So this dazzling Lilligant before her was a King-form Pokémon. And she knew that King-form Pokémon couldn't be caught.
No wonder he called Lilligant a friend rather than his Pokémon.
This man wasn't just skilled at deceiving women—he was equally adept at deceiving female Pokémon.
How was she so certain Liligant was female? Because Liligant were one hundred percent female.
Julian felt somewhat perplexed. Why had her gaze toward him suddenly shifted from affectionate to looking at him like some kind of "scumbag"?
He hadn't done anything just now, had he?
A thoroughly bewildered Julian stood there, completely confused.
"By the way, Liligant, this is Ella. You'll follow her from now on."
Julian's main purpose in coming to the Imperial Capital was to have Ella take Liligant to see dances and learn about dancing.
"Me?!"
Ella pointed at her own flawless face in disbelief.
"Mm. Liligant's a mid-stage Champion at level 95, and you also happen to have psychic abilities, so communicating with it shouldn't be a problem," Julian said.
'Mid-stage Champion?'
Ella looked at Liligant, then back at Julian, suddenly realizing the weight of the responsibility now placed on her shoulders.
"Commander, why don't you take it yourself?"
Ella asked in confusion. Since Liligant had followed Julian out of the secret realm, it meant it trusted him to a considerable degree.
And now he was just handing it over directly to her—wasn't that a bit too casual?
Besides, Liligant was a mid-stage Champion. If such a being followed her, wouldn't she end up being treated like a servant?
"I, of course, have important matters to attend to."
Julian said with a serious expression.
'I have to go home and play games, lie on the sofa, and sleep in. Those are incredibly important matters.'
"Really?"
Ella looked at him suspiciously. She highly doubted that Julian, who usually couldn't even handle paperwork without her, had any truly important affairs.
In her eyes, the only important thing for Julian was exploring secret realms. But he'd just come out of one, so there was no way he could go back in again.
"Look into my sincere eyes."
Julian placed his hands on Ella's shoulders.
In terms of height, Julian was 186 cm, while Ella was also quite tall at around 170 cm, but there was still a noticeable difference between them.
Because of this height difference, as Julian unconsciously looked down, he caught a glimpse of the scenery below her collar.
It was already winter… why was she still dressed so lightly?
"Commander… does it look good?"
Just as Julian was somewhat lost in thought, Ella's teasing yet slightly shy voice reached his ears.
"Ahem, what do you mean look good?"
Julian said seriously, "I'm a man of morals, you know."
Though his face flushed slightly in embarrassment.
"Right, these are for you."
Julian took out several Psychic-type treasures, one of which was even a sub-Ultimate Psychic-type treasure.
Ella didn't refuse, because she knew refusing was useless—since he had taken them out, he would not give her a chance to reject them.
Her beautiful eyes carried a faint trace of emotion as she looked at Julian.
"These should help your Gardevoir break through to the Pseudo-Champion tier."
However, because Julian was busy explaining, he didn't notice the unusual look in her eyes.
When Ella first started following him she had already been an Elite-level trainer, and her talent was excellent, otherwise she wouldn't have qualified to become his secretary.
Over the years, Julian had also occasionally given her some treasures, so her strength had been steadily increasing.
"Mm."
Ella nodded. Her Gardevoir was already at the peak of the Elite-level. In fact, even without these treasures, it should have become a Pseudo-Champion in a year or two.
"Let's go inside. What are we doing standing here in the snow?"
"Yes, Commander."
Only then did Ella realize they had already been standing in the snowfall for several minutes.
So the two of them walked into the building.
"Champion Walker!"
"Champion Walker!"
"Champion Walker!"
When the staff inside the building saw Julian, they greeted him excitedly.
Although his office was in this building, he rarely came even once a year, so they didn't have many opportunities to see him.
"Mm, hello."
Julian responded with a smile to everyone who greeted him.
Of course, their attention was soon drawn to the golden Liligant beside Julian, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Arriving at his office, Julian remembered the last time he came… was last time.
There was even a dog bed by the desk, which Arcanine had demanded, threatening to wreck the house otherwise.
"Are there any important documents I need to handle?" Julian asked.
Since he was here anyway, he might as well do something.
"These ones."
Ella pointed to the stack of files on the left—about a dozen of them. The ones on the right were even more numerous, but she had already processed those.
Seeing Julian begin to work on the documents, Ella left the room.
Liligant hesitated for a moment, then followed behind Ella and walked out as well. Since Julian had told it to stay with Ella, it would do so.
"Elite Challenge Tournament Venue"
"Bug-type Pokémon Breeding Plan 3.0"
"Suspected Treason of a Certain Elite"
"Information on the Primal Secret Realm in Volkaria"
One by one, Julian went through the files. After finishing the fifth document, he leaned back in his chair.
"Exhausted. Maybe I'll just let grand-uncle handle the rest later."
Luckily Ella wasn't there, otherwise she would definitely complain about him.
"Julian, let's play games!" Celebi said eagerly.
"Let's go! I'm picking Rhyperior!"
Julian, who had been slumped in his chair, immediately became energized.
