Until one day, while Meloetta was being well protected within the various alliances, she received a letter one evening among the rose bushes—a letter addressed to her from the young woman.
Meloetta was extremely excited, but when she opened it, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed with a knife. Even the gemstone on Meloetta's forehead dimmed noticeably.
The letter was naturally written by the young woman herself, and Meloetta recognized the handwriting. The Illuminati knew that Meloetta would recognize it, which was exactly why they had forced the young woman to write this letter.
And the tone of the letter was unmistakably that of the Illuminati.
There was no special content—it was nothing more than a demand that Meloetta willingly submit to the Illuminati's control, or else they would harm the young woman's life.
Meloetta had no choice but to follow the Illuminati members who came to retrieve her and leave the Alliance quietly.
To create the possibility of Meloetta eventually returning to the Alliance as an insider, the Illuminati even fabricated the illusion that Meloetta had been kidnapped. It was completely airtight.
Roy couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Under such strict protection, for Meloetta to quietly receive a letter from the Illuminati—this matter itself was problematic.
However, Roy could use the power of Aura to sense that there were no lies in Meloetta's singing, which made it even more frightening.
After all, Meloetta, as the incarnation of art and music, was naturally under the strictest protection of Western European countries.
It was not an exaggeration to say the defenses were like an iron fortress.
Yet somehow, a plague called the Illuminati had infiltrated such tight security that even a fly couldn't pass through. This must have been a tremendous humiliation to Western Europe!
Roy and the other testers who had been inside the Alola spiritual domain didn't know that when the alarm was sounded in Hawaii, the three Champions guarding outside had already suffered this blow before them.
But with such big news, they would probably be among the last people on the entire planet to hear about it.
It was rather unfortunate when he thought about it.
Roy recalled some information about the Illuminati that he had obtained in previous communications with President August. Even though he already knew about the Illuminati's origins and the informants they had planted in various countries for over ten years...
When he truly faced such a situation, Roy still couldn't help but feel that the Illuminati's roots ran incredibly deep.
After that, everyone already knew what happened. It was nothing more than being forced to do things she didn't want to do, but being unable to resist because she cared about the young woman's safety.
The singing gradually stopped, and everyone slowly opened their eyes. Some of the more emotional Trainers and even the Tapu guardian deities already had tears in their eyes.
In this way, Meloetta's image as a helpless yet strong Pokémon had been deeply planted in everyone's hearts.
On the other hand, the victims—the Forces of Nature, Henry, and Master Alora—had bitter expressions, not knowing what to say.
Did the suffering they endured just vanish into thin air? Although it hadn't caused lasting harm, and Meloetta had apologized to them afterward...
But still, they just weren't satisfied!
The victim alliance huddled together and vented their emotions. Some people who didn't know the full situation thought they were moved by Meloetta's story.
They wiped their tears while lamenting how beautiful youth was.
In reality, the victim alliance's true feelings were only understood by themselves. As a result, the victim alliance cried even more intensely.
Roy understood somewhat, but he didn't want to comfort them. Instead, he stood aside with his arms crossed, happy to see the sad and tearful expressions that rarely appeared on their faces.
Roy was even thinking—should he take some photos to use as blackmail material, or exchange them for some food?
No, no, how could he treat his good friends like this!
That would be wrong!
So he would just take a group photo!
Roy clenched his fist, very satisfied with his idea. Roy even found an angle where everyone's faces could be seen clearly and carefully selected the best shot.
"Perfect. This will definitely be a very precious memory."
The victim alliance shivered in unison, completely unaware that they had fallen into Roy's trap. They thought it was just the strong wind blowing on the coast.
Caroline, who was standing behind Roy, hadn't been hypnotized by Meloetta's singing, so she had witnessed everything Roy did.
However, the young lady didn't have any habit of meddling in other people's business. Instead, seeing Roy so lively, she couldn't help but let the corner of her mouth twitch upward slightly.
The tip of the iceberg was melting.
The Trainer boy who had helped Caroline with her troubles earlier was inadvertently lucky enough to witness the iceberg beauty, who wouldn't melt for a thousand years, show such an expression twice in one day.
The boy wasn't far from Caroline. Following her gaze, he naturally saw Roy, who had a sly smile on his face as he mentally calculated how much food he could extort.
"So that's what the ice princess likes."
"What did you say?"
The boy's companion had just recovered from the hypnosis of Meloetta's singing and asked a casual question.
Because of this question, the boy immediately remembered the situation when he had hit a wall during the Battle of Legends.
No! Absolutely not! Otherwise he would be ridiculed!
The boy shook his head. "Nothing, just talking to myself."
His companion didn't take it seriously and nodded, also preparing to rest for a while.
So many things had happened in the Alola spiritual domain in such a short time. Even though they hadn't suffered any serious injuries, it would still take some time to recover properly.
"I wonder if the island challenge will continue."
The boy's companion muttered this and went to rest in the shade. They would wait for the Tapu guardian deities' arrangements before moving again.
There were quite a few testers who thought the same as the boy's companion. After a while, many people were sitting in the shade along the coast.
The boy looked around, thinking about going to rest for a while. Then he noticed that the spot next to his companion seemed to be taken, so he turned around and walked in another direction.
The moment the boy turned around, he no longer felt sleepy or tired.
—Caroline was staring at him!
The pressure from an Elite-level Trainer combined with psychic power made chills run down the boy's spine. He stood frozen in place, not daring to move at all.
Caroline still wore that expressionless look, as if the boy had just experienced a momentary hallucination.
Caroline gently raised her right index finger and placed it against her lips without making a sound.
The boy understood all of Caroline's hints immediately.
