Chapter 25 here!

Lured

From the door, the gagging sounds can be heard.

When Gladion entered the secrct lab B, he witnessed Stars throwing up near a bookshelf, with a concerned Wicke comforting her. "What the hell is wrong with you? Is it something related to the Malasada shit?" Gladion questioned.

Wicke shook her head and cried "This trainer threw up because she saw something in the computer screen! I can't believe what Lusamine did when I saw that picture. I realized that Lil' Lilacs had gone through this! I-I am at a loss of words!"

Gladion then Asked " 'Lil' Lilacs'? Who the hell is that person? The closest person I think deserving that name is none other than Guzma's pet Anabel!" Suddenly, a tear appeared on The assistant branch Chief's chubby face. "Master...Lil' Lilacs is Anabel...the one you called a 'pet'..." She cried. "Your mother...she's for Anabel's head..."

Po town

After losing all her money to Stars, Anabel was in a foul mood.

She was unable to sleep well as another traumatic memory hit her mind once again, this time about Lusamine ripping out her hair by against her will. The traumatic memory lingered so much that even smoking couldn't ease her headache.

For the whole night, Anabel had been shutting herself out, not even to dinner. It worried Plumeria so much that she tried to ask the enforcer what happened. However, Anabel never replied.

When Anabel woke up the following morning, her headache remained. Still blue about the traumatic events, Anabel dragged herself to the kitchen for her breakfast.

As soon as Anabel walked to the kitchen, Plumeria was the first person to cheer. "Lil' Bell! We had some good news!" "What the fuck is it?" Anabel snarled, irritated by her big loss. "Boss Guzma told us that we will be rewarded tomorrow night! Yay!" Rapp jumped.

Instantly, Anabel smiled a little. "From who?" She asked. "Aether president Lusamine! She want to reward us with a big surprise and we should sleep early tomorrow night!" Rapp replied. Anabel's tiny smile faded, her headache worsened.

"Cheer up, Lil' Bell! We have some Roasted Raticate with pecha berries! I am sure that Guzma will return soon enough!" Plumeria added on, giving Anabel a large plate of the said dish.

Aether labs

Suddenly, a few loud screams could be heard with cracking sounds and a certain woman's laughter. "Lillie!" Glaidon yelled.

"Be safe guys!" Wicke told the two trainers. "I need to stay and clean up all these mess!"

Grabbing Snowy, Stars opened the door outside and ran out with Gladion, however, they were blocked by Faba and the scientists.

"well, well, well." Faba snarled. "Looks like someone had a great time catching you today!" "You disgusting asshole! What had you done to my sister and the innocent people here!" Gladion questioned.

"That's not a way to talk to elders like that! It is the utter disrespect I can't accept! Guards, finish them!" Faba commanded his scientists that rushed to the trainers. Gladion and Stars eventually defeated the group and headed to the elevator, where they reunited with a victorious and healed up Hau.

As the Grunts blocking the path to the mansion were defeated by Hau, the trainers entered the mansion with ease. There, more of Lillie's cries and Lusamine's laughter could be heard. "Lillie!" Gladion cried with his big brother instincts. "Come on! There's no time to lose!" Stars shouted as she entered the portal that teleported her into a larger room.

Stars froze when she entered the room. Lusamine, who was glaring sternly at a weeping Lillie, was frustrated by Stars' presence. A lot of lash marks were seen on Lillie's arms and calves, who was clutching onto her abdomen due to pain.

Hau and Gladion followed, and were as shocked as Stars seeing the sickening scene of Lusamine's true colors. "Gladion...you are here..." Lusamine said. "Now...you can't get out of here...ALIVE!"

"What the heck had you done to Lillie?!" The blonde boy questioned. "I can't believe that you are cruel to people like Anabel! Now let Lillie go!"

It was then Lusamine noticed the piercings on Gladion's ears. "Remove them if you want me to let your sister go! NOW!" She demanded, "Or I swear that I'll kill her in front of your eyes!"

Gladion reached to his left ear and removed his metal earrings from his ears. "Throw them onto the floor, and I'll let your sister go!" Lusamine then requested. Gladion, worrying about his sister, did what Lusamine demanded, letting the two metal rings roll to Lusamine's feet.

Lusamine then crushed the earrings with her heels. ""Now join your brother you tramp! He'll be here forever anyway!" She then ordered Lillie to go to her brother.

Suddenly, some else emerged from the portal. He was none other than team Skull Leader, Guzma. "Yo! Your boi Guzma is here and blocked the way and you can't leave anymore!" He rapped. "Nobody of you can escape right now!"

"I shall use this imbecile to open up the ultra wormhole!" Lusamine commenced and picked up a nearby cage, containing Nebby. A glow of light surrounded the cage all of a sudden, Nebby cried in agony. Lillie, Hau , Gladion and Stars watched in despair while Lusamine and Guzma happily watched.

Soon, a mysterious hole opened in thin air, widening every second until it was large enough to fit a person in. "We can't just stay here and die!" Gladion told Hau and Stars. "Hau, battle that motherfucking traitor! I'll fight Lusamine with Stars!"

"I...I got it..." Hau gulped, looking at Guzma's terrifying makeup.

Eventually, both Guzma and Lusamine were defeated. Lillie, despite being weakened, managed to free Nebby out of its cage, only to realize that Nebby shrunk and could not move.

From the mysterious wormhole, a jellyfish like UB emerged. It reminded Stars of Lillie for unknown reasons. "Ah, my sweet ultra beast...you had came..." Lusamine moaned before glancing at Guzma. "Take that Skull imbecile away!" She commanded, pointing directing directly at Guzma. "What? No! I thought that you are going to reward us with something great!" Guzma cried, not noticing that he had made way for the children to flee the room.

"Hehehe...do you think I am not aware of your dark secret?" Lusamine taunted. "You had hidden a property of mine behind me...and now I'll take it back, oh, so are all your cronies back at your base!"

Guzma's eyes widened when Lusamine told him about her 'lost property', with her DNA found at one of the rooms in shady house. "No! I-I trusted you! Please! Don't hurt anyone!" The man, on his knees, pleaded in vain.

"Too late! Insect boy! By the following morning, we will have a large batch of test subjects! Hahaha!" Lusamine laughed as the ultra beast dragged a terrified Guzma into the Ultra wormhole.
