Julian took the initiative to break the silence.

"Professor, I’d like to ask about the growing conditions for red lotus fruit. Can it be planted in the modern Great Marsh?"

"I’m planning to grow some for my friend."

Professor Carolina raised an eyebrow.

"Your friend? What kind of friend needs red lotus fruit from a thousand years ago?"

He said, "I was fortunate enough to learn some information about ancient Sinnoh. Judging from her appearance, I believe she’s a Goodra that once lived in ancient Sinnoh."

"I don’t know how she ended up in our era."

Since people from this era could be unlucky enough to be brought to the Hisui era...

Then a Pokémon from the Hisui era coming to this era was also normal.

Not the protagonist who had been brought to Hisui by Arceus, but that unlucky Subway Boss.

Was his name Ingo? Or Emmet?

Professor Carolina’s eyes immediately lit up.

"A Goodra from ancient Sinnoh?"

Not only Professor Carolina, even Cynthia became curious.

"Is the ancient book where you saw records of ancient Goodra still around?"

Julian shook his head.

"No. I don’t know how, but that book disappeared."

He had heard from Professor Rowan that many of his family’s books concerning that era called Hisui had suddenly vanished in the same way.

Using this reason, Cynthia and Professor Carolina would not suspect anything.

Professor Carolina stroked her chin and said, "Perhaps Sinnoh’s great deity does not wish for us to understand the story of that era."

"Cynthia, go with him to see that Goodra. See whether you can learn anything about that era from Goodra."

"Go pick all the mature red lotus fruit and bring them to Goodra as a gift."

Cynthia nodded.

"All right, Grandmother. Leave it to me."

After Cynthia left, she looked back at Julian.

"The wild does not have the conditions needed to grow red lotus fruit. If you want to grow it, you can only build a greenhouse like this cultivation garden."

"If you want to grow it outdoors, the conditions are quite complicated. Come with me. I’ll find where the relevant records are."

Inside a cabinet filled with documents, Professor Carolina found a file folder and handed it to him.

"It’s all in here. Make yourself a copy and take it back to read slowly."

Julian’s face was full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Professor Carolina."

Professor Carolina smiled and asked, "Young man, how strong are you? Where would you rank among Sinnoh’s Gym Leaders? When can you officially take over the Gym?"

"Do you have any intention of challenging the Elite Four?"

The string of questions made Julian blink blankly.

He thought for a moment.

"I don’t know exactly where I’d rank without battling them. Taking over the Gym should still take another four months."

"As for challenging the Elite Four, I do indeed have that idea."

Professor Carolina nodded with satisfaction.

Only people with shared ambitions could go far together.

She smiled and said, "As the elder of Celestic Town, I’m responsible for passing down Draco Meteor. After you catch Goodra, you can bring her to me."

"I’ll teach you the training method for Draco Meteor."

Julian bowed gratefully.

"Thank you, Professor Carolina."

She waved her hand.

"All right. You and Cynthia can go handle your business. I still have research to do."

For the sake of getting Cynthia married sooner, she really was going to great lengths.

He nodded.

"All right."

The red lotus fruit was meant to be brought to Goodra, so he could not let Cynthia pick everything alone.

Returning to the red lotus fruit area, Julian discovered that she was picking while eating.

Seeing him arrive, Cynthia handed him the red lotus fruit in her hand.

"You try some too."

He accepted the fruit and placed one in his mouth.

Sweet and sour, with a crisp texture

Goodra will definitely like it

"This still isn’t the time when red lotus fruit matures in large quantities. I remember one year, there was a bumper harvest of red lotus fruit, and every resident of Celestic Town got to eat some."

Julian personally began picking. From stem after stem, he picked nearly thirty ripe red lotus fruits.

In the corner of the garden area, there were large baskets used to hold red lotus fruit.

After picking a full basket, he said, "Miss Cynthia, with this much, it should be enough for Goodra to eat. I don’t think we need to pick any more."

Cynthia waved her hand.

"Red lotus fruit can be stored for quite a long time. Let’s pick more."

Since she said so, Julian continued picking.

They picked four full baskets. If not for him worrying that the boot would not have enough space, she would have kept going.

After loading the red lotus fruit into the boot with a trolley, he asked, "Miss Cynthia, why don’t you ride in my car to the Safari Zone?"

Cynthia smiled and refused.

"I’ll drive my own car. After seeing Goodra, I still need to return and report what I learned to Grandmother."

Julian waved his hand.

"I don’t have anything else to do. I can send you back afterwards."

Only then did Cynthia nod.

"All right."

On the way to the Great Marsh, Julian asked curiously, "Are you preparing to challenge for the Elite Four Championship?"

Cynthia raised an eyebrow.

"Elite Four Bertha is an extremely troublesome opponent. The biggest obstacle to becoming the Elite Four Champion is her."

"And Lucian too. That guy’s Psychic-type Pokémon are also very troublesome."

A playful smile appeared on her face.

"You’re already asking about the Elite Four’s information this soon? Preparing for when you challenge us later?"

Julian smiled.

"When I can break through the Gym Ranking Tournament, I’ll ask you for information about the Elite Four. When that time comes, I hope you won’t be stingy with your guidance."

Cynthia smiled and nodded.

"All right. I’ll tell you everything I know. But shouldn’t you also show a little sincerity?"

He smiled and said, "Then after we deliver the red lotus fruit to Goodra, let’s walk around Pastoria City. My treat!"

Cynthia asked teasingly, "If you treat me to a meal, won’t Cassia get jealous?"

Cynthia smiled as she spoke.

Interacting with him under the identity of Cynthia felt completely different.

Many things that were inconvenient for Cassia to do could be done by Cynthia without any pressure at all.

Julian: "..."

He suddenly remembered the first time he met Cynthia. Back then, when she saw him eating with the girl wearing glasses, her attitude towards him had been very cold.

"At that time, had Cassia already introduced me to you?"

"Huh?" Cynthia blinked in confusion, not understanding why he was suddenly excited.

Julian explained, "Last time, when we met at Chef Saiba’s shop, was it because of Cassia that you saw me eating with another girl and acted so coldly towards me?"

Cynthia blinked.

Was... was that how it was?

"Probably..."

If Cassia had introduced him to her friends that early...

It seemed Cassia’s feelings towards him were the same as his feelings towards Cassia.

She looked at the happy smile rising at the corner of Julian’s mouth and directly asked, "Julian, it’s the same question as last time. Between me and Cassia, who’s prettier?"

He smiled faintly.

"The person I like is Cassia. That will not change."

Cynthia smiled.

"Then why haven’t you confessed yet?"
