After the intense sex ended, Lorze, Mewtwo, and Mew rested for a long time before recovering their senses.
After that, Lorze solemnly knelt on one knee, holding up an exquisite Love Ball to court Mew.
"Mew❤!"
The pink kitten gladly accepted, lightly touching the Love Ball with her cat paw, turning into a red and white beam of light and flying inside.
In Lorze's hand, the Love Ball shook symbolically three times, and then emitted a "ding" sound. Mew—captured successfully!
Outside the core chamber door were Ash's group of four, Lucario, and the explorer Kidd. Naturally, Lorze's Pokémon wives also stood together waiting for their husband to come out.
They waited longingly, and then the three of them finally walked out of the room.
Seeing Big Sister Mewtwo and their husband Lorze looking radiant with happiness, the wives' hanging hearts were finally set at ease: It seems they succeeded. This way, Mew's wish has been fulfilled, right?
However, Mew's bulging big belly looks a bit uncoordinated. Lorze must have shot a lot inside her, right? So envious❤...
Meanwhile, Lorze was explaining to Ash and the others—
"Actually... Mew's fever wasn't that hard to cure, hehe, right Mew?"
"Mew❤!"
Mew nodded in agreement, swinging her long tail and constantly flying circles around Lorze. Her large eyes were full of admiration and love for Lorze—saved by the man she liked, and taking the opportunity to have a relationship with him, she was so happy it felt like a beautiful dream!
Then the young man suddenly reached out his hands to catch the fluttering Mew, making their cheeks collide and rub against each other, the two letting out joyful "hehe" laughs.
"Mr. Lorze and Mew have such a good relationship, huh?"
Everyone just assumed Mew and Lorze had become close friends, completely unaware that their relationship had long surpassed friendship and they were partners who had engaged in sexual relations.
Affection aside, there was still serious business to attend to now. Holding Mew in his arms, Lorze turned to the dog following beside him.
"Lucario, it's best if you personally go into the core chamber of the Tree of Beginning to take a look... to see what exactly the truth was back then."
After Lorze said this, Lucario's pupils experienced an earthquake, and he charged straight into the room!
But the moment his paws stepped inside, the rich fishy musky smell permeating the room stimulated Lucario's sensitive nose, making him dizzy for a moment.
"Awoo-woof!?"
Lucario directly pinched his nose without thinking much, because he urgently wanted to know the truth of the past; nothing else mattered more than this.
Suddenly, Lucario saw a pair of Sir Aaron's gloves in a pile of clutter next to the core. And in the crystal cluster behind the gloves, a familiar face seemed to be faintly sealed...
Lucario used aura to detect, and found that the aura in the crystal cluster was exactly Sir Aaron's!
An ominous premonition had already faintly risen in his heart, but regardless...
Lucario found a Time Flower remaining here, crouched down, and injected aura to awaken it.
What this Time Flower recorded... was exactly what happened after Sir Aaron came to the core of the Tree of Beginning!
"Mew, I know you and the Tree of Beginning are one, so... use your power!"
Sir Aaron resolutely reached out his arm towards Mew, shouting—
"The aura is with me!"
He gave all his aura energy to Mew without hesitation. Mew then transmitted this power to the Tree of Beginning. Countless soft green lights emitted from the Tree of Beginning, shining on the Pokémon and humans about to go to war, seemingly awakening their reason.
The war stopped, and Cameron Palace was spared, it was just...
Sir Aaron's body was undergoing irreversible changes.
After that, he slumped on the ground, his face full of reluctance to part with and guilt towards Lucario.
"Lucario... I'm sorry, sealing you away was a last resort... otherwise, you would have followed me everywhere, and ultimately ended up with a fate like this..."
Exchanging his life to end a meaningless war... calling this a true hero who bore everything alone is not an exaggeration!
"So, please inherit the Guardian's will and live on well, otherwise Aaron's sacrifice will be in vain."
"Yes, I will..."
Seeing that Lucario was finally relieved, Lorze nodded and smiled.
Finally, the Aura Guardian seemed to be coming to an end, and Ash and the others were about to leave the Tree of Beginning.
As a result, Lorze and his Pokémon stood beside Mew and didn't follow the group's pace.
"Huh... Mr. Lorze, aren't you leaving?"
"Mhm, I'll just stay here and accompany Mew, otherwise she'll be very lonely."
"Mew❤!"
At that time, the pink kitten was lying on Lorze's head with a fascinated face, letting out happy cries.
Realizing this matter couldn't just be talked about casually, Brock's squinty eyes, where the pupils were completely invisible, also became serious.
"If there's anything you need me to step forward for, Mr. Lorze, please don't hesitate to ask!"
After all, Lorze had made so many contributions to saving the world. As his friend, he should also help him resolve some issues. As a Gym Leader of the Kanto region, he also had some say.
"Thank you, Brock. Hope you find a girlfriend soon~"
"Ah, haha... I'll... borrow your auspicious words..."
Amidst a burst of laughter, Ash and Lucario embarked on their return journey to Cameron Palace escorted by Kidd's car.
And Lorze, finally having some free time, managed to contact the old man Joseph using his PokéNav.
At that time, the old man was still chuckling in his office chair, wondering: Little Lorze normally doesn't call me, why does he suddenly have free time today?
He must be having a beautiful vacation in Rota City, hahaha!
As a result, the very first sentence of the communication almost made the old man flip out of his chair.
"President Joseph! This is Lorze. Although it's a bit sudden, I want to resign from the Devon Trainer Alliance..."
Eh eh!? What are you talking about, you brat!
This sentence directly made Joseph anxious. He hurriedly asked for clarification even with his somewhat unsmooth voice. After all, Lorze, like Steven, was one of the two main pillars of the Hoenn region!
"Wh-Wh-What's going on? You have to explain this clearly, Little Lorze!"
Lorze then told Joseph about arriving at the Tree of Beginning by a strange combination of circumstances, gaining the recognition of the Tree of Beginning, and capturing Mew. Then, because Mew couldn't leave the Tree of Beginning for long periods, he was going to move to the Tree of Beginning to accompany her.
Joseph was dumbfounded listening. You're really something, kid. I just sent you on a vacation, how did you stir up such a huge matter?
But since it was like this, Joseph still felt a bit relieved: So it's not because he's tired of it and quitting. Then there's still room to turn things around.
"Little Lorze, you're really single-minded. Of course you can move over there, but there's no need to resign!"
"Ah? But then I won't be able to stay in Hoenn, and it probably won't be convenient to go on missions."
"Think about it, you can operate at the Tree of Beginning with the identity of a Devon Corporation researcher. This way, of course you don't need to resign, and your salary will still be calculated as the Chief Trainer, not a penny less. If you achieve any results, won't the funding and reputation still be yours?"
Lorze scratched his scalp: Truly worthy of the top boss of Devon Corporation, the President is still shrewd. But such a clever trick can't bypass the officials, can it?
"But isn't this the Kanto region? Wouldn't that be bad?"
"Haha, then let's just bring it out into the open and talk about it. The Indigo League wouldn't make a rash decision on such an important matter either. Everything is negotiable. In the end, it all comes down to your word, Little Lorze."
Lorze pondered for a moment, and finally agreed. He would leave political matters to the big shots; he just wanted to find a place where no one would disturb him to have sex with his Pokémon.
After all, President Joseph was a very nice person. Perhaps it was out of mutual interests, but he was indeed not bad to Lorze. Whenever there was anything good, he always thought of him, simply treating him like a biological son just like Steven.
If he could stay under Devon's umbrella, it would definitely be good!
He could not only maintain more connections but also have a very stable source of income.
So for the past two days, Lorze stayed at the Tree of Beginning, living a shameless sex life with his new wife Mew and his old wives, waiting for the meeting between the representatives of the two major regions to begin.
However, he would also think of his wife Absol far away in Hoenn.
"Hello❤? Absol, have you been doing well at home these days? Were you very anxious?"
"You have the nerve to ask. Miss you❤..."
The Disaster Beast's hoarse, spoiled voice came from the PokéNav; that was Absol's way of expressing her longing.
Unfortunately, they could only keep in touch by calling. Lorze couldn't use his body to properly dote on Absol, only secretly resolving to definitely make up for his Disaster Beast wife's share of their sex life later.
"Absol, we've decided to move to the Tree of Beginning. It's really beautiful here, and the place is very spacious. You'll definitely like it. After I sort out the matters here in a few days, I'll go back and pick you up."
The virtuous Disaster Beast not only wasn't anxious but instead advised Lorze not to rush, terrified she would delay Lorze's business because of herself.
"You don't need to worry about me, so you can take your time. I can afford to wait."
"Thank you. Absol wifey is so good. Come, give me a smooch❤~"
There seemed to be a dead silence on the other end of the phone. Lorze was still wondering if Absol was unwilling, and then...
"Smooch❤~"
In the end, the female beast and the young man still gave each other a mushy kiss over the phone. Absol hung up the landline phone with complete satisfaction.
Absol believed in Lorze's promise, and as his wife, she also had to do her part: during the time Lorze was away, she would stand the last watch of this villa.
Life in the future... I'm looking forward to it a bit~
On November 17th, Lorze rode Latias to the headquarters venue of the Indigo League, exactly to attend the meeting regarding the issue of the Tree of Beginning.
Wataru, uh no, Champion Lance, represented the stance of the Kanto region. Champion Steven represented the Hoenn region. President Joseph and Lorze represented Devon Corporation.
In addition, Queen Ilene, the royal representative of Cameron Palace in Rota City, and Brock, the Rock-type Gym Leader of Pewter City, also attended. After all, they were geographically very close, and their opinions also needed to be consulted.
Beside the Queen, Lucario, as the personal bodyguard of the Cameron Palace royal family, stood guard by her side, and also smiled and waved at Lorze.
Lucario held the highest respect for Lorze.
The theme of the meeting was "Regarding the cooperation between the Kanto region and the Hoenn region to conduct research on the Tree of Beginning."
"Sir Lorze saved Cameron Palace and the Tree of Beginning. Like the hero Sir Aaron, he is a benefactor of our royal family, so we support him."
Beside Lorze, the cute Mime Jr. poked her head out and looked at Queen Ilene. She seemed to be happy that her former owner could speak up for them—staying by Lorze's side these past few days, she also had a very happy time, almost forgetting Queen Ilene.
"Not just the Tree of Beginning, Sir Lorze has also saved Alto Mare in the Johto region and LaRousse City in the Hoenn region. Today, I am here both as the Gym Leader of Pewter City and as Mr. Lorze's friend, so I also support Mr. Lorze."
Lance scratched his spiky red hair and looked sideways: You two... are you from Kanto or Hoenn!
Steven on the other side of the meeting smiled. Sir Lorze's connections were just like this; he didn't even need to argue as a close friend.
Lorze sat among a group of big shots and didn't dare to make a peep. Calling it a joint research on the issue of the Tree of Beginning sounded nice, but to put it bluntly, they were discussing the various matters of his moving. This prestige was way too high...
Actually, there was nothing much to discuss about this kind of thing. After all, the Tree of Beginning is located within Kanto's borders, so it should logically be managed by Kanto.
But as the first, and possibly the only human qualified to settle in the Tree of Beginning, Lorze was a Hoenn person.
Uh, is Lorze a Hoenn person?
Lorze: I think I am.
So... things became worth mediating.
With concessions from all parties, this matter was surprisingly negotiated successfully. Lorze could settle in the Tree of Beginning as a Devon Corporation researcher to conduct residence, research, and various other activities. However, the research results and their patents would be jointly shared by Devon Corporation and Silph Co.
Silph Co. is the company that was formerly occupied by Team Rocket. Since Team Rocket was annihilated by Red, this company had been recovered and controlled by the League, which could be considered an Indigo League asset of the Kanto region.
Besides this, the fact that someone lived in the Tree of Beginning, as well as this meeting, were kept completely confidential to the outside world.
Lance's work focus was inherently on international investigation and policing. He actually didn't care much about this matter, but he couldn't just casually give the land away for free, right?
Ceding a portion of sovereignty, it was reasonable to get some benefits. This way it would be a win-win cooperation.
However, looking at that handsome young man, Lance also generated a trace of interest in him—a mutual appreciation stemming from the instinct between strong individuals.
If I have free time, I really want to try having a battle with him.
The meeting ended. Lorze was about to officially take office as a researcher and protector of the Tree of Beginning—a unique profession among all humanity, said to be silently protecting the world.
A lonely life, only able to amuse himself every day or run to Cameron Palace to play some pranks.
But this would change today—because with Mew's help, Lorze was no longer regarded as an alien entity needing to be resisted by the Tree of Beginning. And it just so happened... he was currently the only human with the intention and leisure time to settle in the Tree of Beginning.
In other words, Lorze would become the first human resident here, and his wives would also be the new population of the Tree of Beginning.
It seemed there was no longer any need to hesitate about the location of the new home~
Actually, even looking past Mew, beneath the Tree of Beginning was still an uninhabited fairyland romantic like the Peach Blossom Spring, with lush water plants.
From all perspectives, it perfectly met Lorze's requirements for a new home.
—No need to worry about infrastructure at all, the technology of the Pokémon world is trustworthy.
Of course, before that, he had to bring Absol over first. He couldn't just find a new home and forget the beauty guarding the empty room.
"Everyone, I was thinking... how about we make our new home here at the Tree of Beginning? Both for Mew and for ourselves. Living here feels really nice."
"Agree meow!" "Master Zako's❤ eye is really good~" "Latias likes it too~" "I agree too, it's really beautiful here. If we have sex here..."
Seemingly realizing she had said something incredible, Gardevoir blushed and hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was hard to conceal her lecherous smile.
Everyone still followed her thought: Having sex in such a beautiful place, letting our lewd behavior defile a piece of holy land, simply feels so shameful yet exciting❤~
So, no one had any objections to settling their new home here.
Of course, this was just a hot-headed reaction. There were still many specific matters that needed to be handled properly. After all, the Tree of Beginning involved major implications, and it was quite impossible to hide it from the authorities.
At the very least, I should discuss it with the Indigo League. At worst, I'll just flip the table. Lorze felt that with his strength, he could still bump heads with the bird-user Lance and the Elite Four.
Just as the group led by Lucario walked out of the room, their faces were all hung with grief, starkly contrasting with the joyful expressions on Lorze's side.
Realizing that continuing to be elated wasn't very appropriate, Lorze and his wives also restrained themselves somewhat.
"You were right, Sir Lorze... Lord Aaron... he handled the matter alone back then... I should have come alone."
"But, I have no regrets about what I've done. The wonderful time spent with Her Highness Rin and you in Cameron Palace, that is the proof that I lived..."
"Thank you, Lucario. Every day spent with you was very happy. If possible... I really want to cross paths with you again, my friend..."
The entire process of Sir Aaron's sacrifice was also seen by Ash and the others closely following behind. This truth, arriving late across a thousand years, moved everyone to tears. The sensitive girl May was even weeping uncontrollably.
Even the usually aloof Lucario had two trails of crystal clear tears seeping from the corners of his eyes, sliding down his cheeks...
But this was Lucario trying hard to hold back. Being the most touched by this scene, he ultimately still knelt on the ground and cried bitterly!
"Lord Aaron! Woo, woo woo..."
Clearly having thousands of words in his throat, the person who could listen had long been gone.
The room was speechless for a long time, but outside the room, it was much more relaxed—because Lorze hadn't followed them to watch the scene of Sir Aaron's sacrifice again at all.
Lorze's tear point was still a bit low. He didn't dare to watch, afraid that a grown man like him would also cry embarrassingly.
That kind of thing, I already shed tears once when watching it before. It's not cold-bloodedness.
So he simply escaped it, and instead took this opportunity to introduce his wives and Mew to each other.
"Anyway... I also want to marry little sister Mew as my wife, treating her just like I treat everyone else. I still hope everyone can get along well..."
Before Lorze could finish speaking, Jirachi pulled Mew's small hand and started spinning—actually, Mew was still immersed in Lorze's announcement, feeling a bit shy, and was startled!
"Hehehe, Mew is here too. This way, Mew and Jirachi are both Lorze's girlfriends! That's great, Jirachi can play with Mew together!"
"Mew❤~ Mew also likes Big Sister Jirachi very much~!"
Then after this burst of joy, Mew nestled spoiledly in Lorze's arms, blinking her large eyes and asking: "Lorze❤~ If Lorze likes Mew too, you will definitely stay here at the Tree of Beginning to accompany Mew, right❤? Mew wants to be with Lorze every day❤!"
This matter did remind Lorze: Mew couldn't leave the Tree of Beginning for too long, because she was an existence closely connected to the Tree of Beginning.
No outsiders have visited here for thousands of years. Mew must have lived a very lonely life, only able to amuse herself every day or run to Cameron Palace to play some pranks.
Although Lorze wasn't a very professional researcher, fortunately, he had crash-coursed quite a bit when investigating the materials on Jirachi's awakening before. He couldn't be considered a layman.
Thinking about it now, this is truly an unexpected delight. The seemingly futile efforts of the past have also come in handy at a crucial moment.
As for being a researcher or whatever, of course I'll do a bit of it, but right now...
Let's enjoy a sex life with my wives day and night first❤~
