For an entire day.
Lusamine sat alone on the bedside, meticulously recalling the sweet past she had with that man.
Memories were her only spiritual solace since he left her more than a decade ago.
And the thing she wore around her neck called the "Millennium Necklace" was the token of love he gave her.
Beep beep beep!
Just then, the communicator in Lusamine's room rang with an incoming call.
Lusamine frowned slightly, but there were only a handful of people who could reach here.
It couldn't be ignored.
Lusamine got up and walked to the coffee table, and pressed the answer button on the communicator.
Instantly, the communicator, which looked like a camera, shone a beam-like light, projecting on the opposite wall.
And in a very short time, it projected the face of a middle-aged man in a black suit, with a fierce yet steady temperament.
"Giovanni,"
Lusamine spoke in a cold voice:
"You disturbed me at a very important time, you better give me a reasonable explanation."
"Heh, still as unfriendly as ever."
Giovanni's mouth raised slightly, and he responded:
"Our Team Rocket and your Aether Paradise are in a cooperative relationship, can't you speak in a nicer tone? You forgot that I have been helping you provide information all these years."
Lusamine folded her arms in front of her chest, showing a domineering temperament that was not inferior to Giovanni, and sneered:
"Our Aether Paradise has also smuggled a lot of rare Pokémon for your Team Rocket, and even helped you avoid being caught by the league when you failed, we have helped you a lot too, right?"
Giovanni, the strongest Gym Leader of the former Kanto Region, known as "Giovanni of the Earth".
Although he seemed to be just a Gym Leader, his strength had already reached the Champion level.
However, this was just the surface identity.
His real identity was the head of Team Rocket, a super-large criminal organization spanning two regions, Kanto and Johto!
His identity was quite similar to Lusamine's.
Lusamine, on the surface, was the President of the largest Pokémon relief foundation in the Alola Region.
But in reality, she was an Underworld Queen who secretly captured legendary Pokémon!
And just last year, Giovanni's Team Rocket's forces in the Kanto Region were defeated, and he lost his identity as a Gym Leader.
But Lusamine secretly sent her subordinates to rescue Giovanni, avoiding being caught by the alliance.
Now Team Rocket's was conducting operations in Johto.
Its power was still terribly vast.
However, although the two people's identities and working styles were quite similar.
But their purposes were completely different.
Giovanni was just to make a greater material profit.
And Lusamine was to find her loved one.
"Enough with the emotional card, just say what you want."
Finally, Lusamine said coldly again.
The reason why she saved Giovanni last year.
It wasn't because her heart was kind and she wanted to save a partner, but because Giovanni could provide her with more information.
"Tsk,"
Giovanni shook his head helplessly, secretly sighing that this woman was still so difficult to approach, and said:
"The commotion in the Alola Region yesterday was caused by you, right? And looking at your expression, those Ultra Beast don't have the ability to bring your husband back to life, right?"
Lusamine's face became even more gloomy, "Are you here to make me angry?"
The moment the voice fell, the Millennium Necklace on her neck shone with golden light.
Lusamine's own surroundings also emitted a large amount of Dark Energy!
"Don't misunderstand, I'm looking for you to discuss serious business."
Giovanni hurriedly stopped Lusamine from going berserk.
Although Lusamine didn't have an overbearing nickname like his "Giovanni of the Earth" on the surface.
But Giovanni knew very well how terrifying this woman was.
Lorelei, one of the Elite Four of the Kanto Region, and Cynthia, the Champion of the Sinnoh Region, were probably not her opponents!
And Giovanni himself and her... Evenly Matched, right?
Hearing Giovanni say this, Lusamine calmed down slightly, and restrained the Dark Energy overflowing from her body, and faintly spit out a word from her cherry lips:
"Say it."
"Being revered as the Guardian Deity of the Johto Region, Ho-Oh and Lugia."
Giovanni's face was solemn, and he said:
"The Divine Authority they possess are [Revival] and [Summoning], that is, they have the ability to resurrect life and Summoning Life."
Hearing this sentence, the pupils in Lusamine's beautiful eyes trembled fiercely.
But after all, Lusamine was also a Tough Character who had gone through Struggle and Hardship in the dark world for more than ten years, and did not lose her composure because of this.
Soon her expression returned to normal, and she said indifferently:
"Did you find them?"
"Not yet,"
Giovanni smiled dumbly, but in the next second, he returned to a cold expression, and said again:
"But according to the investigation of my subordinates, the Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, the three sacred beast called [Beasts of the Legendary Birds] in the Johto Region, were all Pokémon resurrected by Ho-Oh in the past."
Giovanni said with a smile that was not a smile:
"And Lugia, can Summoning Life."
"First let Lugia call out the soul of your dead husband, and then let Ho-Oh perform Revival, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Lusamine tapped her jade fingertips lightly on the coffee table, making a "咚咚" light sound.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lusamine spoke again:
"Then what is your purpose?"
"Heh, don't worry, let's talk in detail when we meet to execute the specific plan later."
