Xingye closed the panel and asked Gengar to try this bow talent after returning home. After all, we don't have the time right now.

However, Cyclizar performed very well today. It doesn't matter if you have amnesia and don't remember the moves. Just remember them slowly. Your body still remembers them anyway.

And I also saw the full strength of Cyclizar when it was not using the power of Miraidon, which gave me a rough idea of its current strength.

"Cyclizar~"

"Well, the commission is over, let's go back."

Xingye touched its head, then looked at Gengar who was playing with Lillie's single ponytail in front of him, and shouted, "Stop playing, I have to go home."

"Gengar~"

Gengar immediately smiled and floated towards him. Lillie recovered from the panic and quickly shouted, "Wait, I want to come too!"

Hearing this, Hau and Xiaoyang were stunned at the same time, and then asked in unison, "What's going on between you?"

Lillie sat on Cyclizar, and then responded, "We are friends, and don't think too much about him. Although sometimes he is really annoying, as long as you get to know him better, you will know that he is quite good, but he is not good at expressing himself."

"..."

After Xingye heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and without explaining anything, he let Cyclizar run away.

Seeing them walking away, Hau finally came to his senses, waved his hands and said, "Big... big news! Tell the squad leader quickly, Lillie has been abducted!"

On the way back to Drifter District, the two did not talk again. Kabukicho has not yet opened, and the surroundings are relatively deserted.

There were some Meowth walking around at the entrance of the street. When they saw Cyclizar appear, they all hid and watched them go in.

Lillie looked around curiously. He didn't expect that during the day, the scenery here would be like this. The contrast with the night was really great.

Soon Cyclizar stopped at the door of the izakaya. Xingye took off his helmet and goggles, turned around and said, "Come on down, we're here."

"Hmm."

The izakaya hasn't opened yet, but the familiar fragrance of fruit wine wafts out of it, and you know that Slowking must be making wine inside again.

Xingye did not knock on the door and went in. Instead, he took them directly and took the stairs back upstairs. However, the door of the izakaya was suddenly opened, and Slowking walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Alola~What a coincidence."

Lillie kept a distance and said hello to it. After Slowking replied, he looked at Xingye and said slowly, "Kid, I heard that you did some terrible things again. What was the result?"

"Fortunately, they all left happily. The commission was successfully completed."

Although I don't know how this guy knew, Xingye still responded, but Slowking suddenly threw out a thick envelope. When he opened it, he didn't expect it to be full of bills!

"What the hell? You stupid boss didn't take your medicine today? Or are you plotting against me again?"

Slowking picked up a lollipop and responded, "The old man seems to have donated all his inheritance to Pokémon School as a reward for your entrustment. A little bit of it is specially given to you. Thank you for being able to fight against them in the end."

"???"

Xingye looked confused and didn't understand. A supernatural incident? But Slowking did not explain it, but said slowly, "We actually went on the road together. Isn't this a new journey? The relationship between trainer and Pokémon is really magical."

After saying that, Slowking returned to the izakaya and closed the door. Xingye took the reward and looked at it. It was not too much, but it was enough to live a stable New Year.

"This is really..."

He smiled lightly and put away the reward. At this time, Lillie behind him asked softly, "The commission is over now, so I..."

"Let's talk upstairs."

"Hmm."

Lillie immediately followed him upstairs. While she was nervous, she was also looking forward to it because she had not seen Odd Jobs yet.

As soon as the two of them, Cyclizar and Gengar, arrived at the door, footsteps came from inside. Tandemaus had sensed them and came over to help open the door, and then two Mousy jumped towards one person each.

"!!!"

Suddenly Little Gray jumped on him. Lillie didn't react at all and froze directly at the door.

Xingye touched Little White, turned sideways and took away Little Gray, and said with a smile, "It seems to like you quite a bit, why not try to subdue it?"

"No... don't!"

Lillie took two steps back and almost fell down. He seemed to be very resistant to subduing Pokémon.

"Just asking, are you too excited?"

"Sorry..."

"Forget it, come in."

"Well, excuse me then..."

Lillie responded softly, then walked in, and finally saw the scenery inside. Then he was a little surprised, because it was so tidy, cleaner than his own room.

"Um... should I change my shoes?"

"No, I will clean it every day anyway."

"Okay."

The two of them walked all the way to the living room. The Pokémon was now placed on the sofa. Xingye asked Lillie to sit on the other side of the sofa.

He sat at the desk, crossed his fingers, supported his head, his expression instantly became serious, assumed the posture of Commander Ikari, looked at Lillie, and asked, "Tell me your dream!"

"Ah?"

"Don't you want to join us? Just consider that you have passed the assessment and the interview will be left at the end!"

"Um..."

Lillie glanced at the Pokémons who were fighting around. The atmosphere was so strange that he didn't expect this sudden incident. However, he quickly responded seriously, "I want to do my part and use the knowledge I have learned in the right place!"

"That's good, so do you know what we, Odd Jobs, do specifically? And what role can you play here?"

"This... I don't care! As long as there is some way I can help!"

Lillie responded seriously. She didn't want to live under the care of others forever, nor did she want to have to go to the library to read during the holidays and not be able to do anything else.

Hearing the answer, Xingye nodded and continued, "Actually, in addition to offline physical stores, we Odd Jobs also have a website, but the main service target of that is trainers..."

"So you want me to help run the website?"

Lillie is a little disappointed. The website seems to be of no practical use. She would rather participate in it in person instead of chatting with people in front of the screen.

But the next second Xingye shook his head and responded, "No, just leave the website to me, but there is no customer at the moment. I would like to ask you to help anonymously promote it to friends. After all... I only have one human friend like you."

The last sentence was very low, but Lillie still heard it. A smile appeared on her face, she stood up and patted her chest and responded, "This is simple, then leave it to me, so I..."

"Yes." Xingye nodded, stood up, and said with a smile, "You are now a member of Odd Jobs."

"Yeah!"

Lillie's hanging heart finally dropped, and his expression instantly became excited, and then said, "I will seriously assist Odd Jobs in the entrusted work. As long as there is any need for help, I will be there when you call!"

"Well, come on, work hard!"

Xingye patted her shoulder lightly, and then walked over. At the same time, the expression on her face finally became unbearable, and she almost stopped laughing.

What a good employee, what a kind child. Without even mentioning salary and benefits, he joined this Odd Jobs with nothing, and even voluntarily worked overtime.

"Although it may be a bit troublesome, I still made money. The rest is to help her overcome her fear of Pokémon. It's a bit difficult, but not high."

Thinking of this, Xingye turned around and said, "You haven't had lunch yet, so let's wait a little and eat here."

"Okay, need help?"

"No, don't worry about my cooking skills."

"Cyclizar!"

"Gengar!"

"Hey!"

Several Pokémon agreed at the same time, which surprised Lillie. There is no way that the other party's cooking skills can be better than Mallow's, right?

But Xingye went to the kitchen, and she could only continue to sit on the sofa, watching the Pokémon people playing around, not daring to get close.

Then, she focused her attention on Pokémon Egg on the other side and moved closer. Although she didn't dare to touch it, there was no problem if she couldn't move.

"It's only been a day, and even he has begun to change slowly. Am I also..."

Lillie looked at Pokémon Egg, hesitated for a long time, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch it, because Xingye was right, the more scared you are, the more you have to try, otherwise you will always be afraid.

She naturally understands this truth, but it is difficult for her to make up her mind to face the fear in her heart.

"Ugh?"

Little Gray came close to her again. Lillie noticed it and said quickly, "Don't rely on... that, I'm sorry, just keep some distance from me."

She knew that this would destroy her goodwill, but she still said it subconsciously. However, when she rescued Little Gray by the bridge before, she managed to touch him, so this fear is not insurmountable!

"I need a little courage!"

Lillie's eyes suddenly became determined, and he suddenly put his hands on Pokémon Egg. His body was about to react subconsciously, but he still didn't take his hands away. He just hugged the egg. Success!

Seeing this, Gengar floated to the side and applauded, happy for her, as did other Pokémon.

"It doesn't seem to be difficult..."

Although he was still scared in his heart, Lillie reluctantly showed a smile on his face. This was the first time he took the initiative to try. Even though the target was just a Pokémon Egg, the first step had been taken, but...

Click--

The sudden cracking sound brought Lillie back to her senses, and the next second the egg she was holding in her hand suddenly glowed with light, and then a cold touch came from her hand, which felt very comfortable to the touch.

"Woo~"

Looking at the confused little white fox, who was suddenly held in his hands, Lillie's expression instantly froze, his hair exploded on the spot, and he completely collapsed...

Liver Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Liver forgot the code...
