"I am sorry, dear Steven. I already belong to Alder. We…"
Damian interrupted. "Cut! Wallace, regulate your facial expressions. You need to appear shy and dreamy. It should be the look a woman has after a romantic moment."
Damian gave Wallace instructions during the filming.
The story was not complicated. It was only a brief video. The plot described Wallace and Steven as childhood sweethearts and a devoted couple. Then, Steven's superior, Alder, intervened. Eventually, the three of them lived together happily.
Wallace performed the role of Steven's girlfriend. He wore the traditional feminine attire that made Wallace famous originally. That appearance was considered a classic by the residents of the Hoenn region.
Damian filmed with great enthusiasm. Alder and Steven found it difficult to remain serious. However, they could not resist Damian. To avoid being humiliated by Damian, Alder and Steven could only participate. As for Wallace, he was prepared to sacrifice everything for the sake of his Milotic's safety.
It was just wearing feminine clothes. It was not a significant problem.
Damian initially intended to finish the recording within three hours. However, the story was too absurd for the three of them. It required six full hours to complete.
Personally, Damian was quite content with the result. One photograph was particularly good. Alder was tall and robust. He held Wallace, who appeared delicate, as they observed the sunset together.
Steven stood far away from them. His eyes displayed loneliness, relief, envy, and sadness. It was a perfect mixture of emotions. Yes, it was an ideal scene. Damian decided to use it as the cover.
Damian stored his equipment with satisfaction. He spoke to the three men, who had expressionless faces. "Thank you for your diligence. You all performed excellently. Let us collaborate more in the future."
Wallace replied with a tight expression. "That is completely unnecessary!"
He wondered if there would be a next time. This repulsive plot truly damaged his reputation with the public. Was he the kind of indecisive person who would be defeated by a powerful man? Unless he forced Steven to wear a dress next time, he would never consent!
Damian was very confident. "I already have a concept for the sequel! Next time, the story will definitely be even more flawless!"
He was already considering how to film the next segment. He needed to include another person. For instance, Leon could have a secret crush on Steven. To get close to Steven, Leon would associate with Wallace and Alder. Finally, the four of them would create a happy family.
It had to be startling. Having an impact was the most essential factor.
Steven's mouth twitched. He felt that Damian's artistic preferences were definitely problematic. He actually wanted to say: Damian, why do you not just focus on taking artistic photographs? Do not produce those short videos anymore. He wondered if a human could create such a plot.
Damian said farewell with satisfaction. He departed with a calm Caitlin and Elesa, whose eyes were shining with excitement. "Well then, see you next time."
Alder observed Steven and Wallace, who was still wearing the dress. He looked very concerned. "I wonder if Damian would actually publish this?"
He hoped for mercy. After all, Alder was the Unova Champion. He had a specific reputation among the Unova people. If this video were distributed, his grandson was almost an adult! If he imagined his grandson asking if he was seeking another grandmother, Alder felt his vision darken immediately.
Wallace did not hesitate. "That malicious Team Rocket member will certainly publish it."
Based on his knowledge of Damian, it would be odd if Damian did not share this video.
Steven sighed. "Damian's interests are truly unusual."
He could only hope that Damian would publish it on the Unova internet and not let it spread to the Hoenn region. After the previous photos were shared, many people were pairing him with Wallace. Steven really could not tolerate it.
He was a normal person! He was a man who preferred women. Although Wallace appeared more beautiful than most women when he dressed up, Wallace was still a man!
Alder felt slightly faint. He had originally wanted to come here to relax. He did not get to relax, and now he felt even more miserable.
On the other side, Damian felt today was a fortunate day. He did not expect to encounter Wallace and the others just by going out. "My luck is truly excellent."
Elesa felt like her perspective had been changed. If she had not witnessed it personally, she would never have believed it. Champions at the summit of a region would actually record such a silly video. One of them even dressed as a woman. Most importantly, the one in the dress was actually very stunning!
Damian displayed a malicious smile. He believed this video would definitely become popular on the entire internet! "I will edit it when I return and share it online."
Elesa was surprised. He was serious. "Are you truly going to publish it?"
Damian asked back as if it were obvious. "Would it be a lie? If I did not intend to share it, why would I record it?"
Elesa remained silent.
Damian smiled. He was always a man who fulfilled his promises! "And I will not just share it in one place. Unova, Hoenn, Kanto... no regional network will be avoided."
If he said he would make Wallace and the others famous worldwide, he would make them extremely well-known!
In her heart, Elesa felt sympathy for Alder and the other two. Once this video was released, they probably would not dare to go out for a long time.
Damian said, "It is becoming late. Let us find an inn to rest."
Because of the filming duration, Damian and the others stayed at an inn in a small town on the island for the night.
In the guest room, Elesa brought a basin of water to Damian. She placed it at his feet. "Damian, check the water temperature."
Damian was observing his phone. He put his feet into the basin and complimented Elesa. "Not bad. Also, Elesa, you can return to Nimbasa City in a few days. You have worked diligently during this period."
Although Elesa's performance as a maid was not very good at the beginning, she was indeed very flexible. She also learned very rapidly.
Elesa replied steadily. She quietly used her long, white hands to wash Damian's feet. "...It was not difficult."
Actually, it really was not that hard. It was just managing Damian's daily needs while they were traveling. Also, since they took over the castle, Anthea and Concordia were the ones responsible for Damian's life whenever they were there.
She did not need to do much. She even had leisure time to read magazines, go swimming, or practice yoga.
To be honest, during this time with Damian, besides staying close to him, Elesa saw and heard things she had never known about in her life. It was truly extraordinary. She could only say that this world was truly enormous. Truly, if Damian had not forced her, she would not have witnessed so many exciting events.
Damian looked down at Elesa with curiosity. He clicked his tongue. "Elesa, you were originally a famous model and the Gym Leader of Nimbasa City. You were forced to be a maid. Have you ever felt resentful toward me?"
Elesa's voice was still very steady. Her beautiful face appeared quite cold. "Damian, you are asking a question you already know the answer to."
Resentment... how could there be none? But she could only say there was not a large amount. Just as Damian stated, she was originally a famous world-class model. In terms of success, becoming an official Unova Gym Leader at such a young age was definitely a sign of being successful early in life.
The main thing was that Damian really took a lot of advantage of her! Of course, it would be a lie to say she had no feelings for Damian. After following him for so long, Elesa's opinion of Damian had really changed significantly.
Besides being a bit lustful and not being in the same group as the League, she really could not find any other flaws in Damian.
Damian said, "I will be unhappy if you say that."
Damian pulled Elesa up. He made her sit on his lap. He looked closely into Elesa's eyes. Elesa did not resist. Although this was quite sudden, she only raised her wet hands to avoid touching Damian.
Elesa pursed her lips. Her body did not struggle, but that did not mean she did not speak. "Damian, please act properly. I am not like Concordia and the others. I do not need to..."
But before she could finish, Damian kissed her. At the same time, Damian used one hand to support Elesa's thin waist. His other hand moved upward.
Elesa made a soft sound. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Damian's neck. It was a very familiar action. This was not her first kiss with Damian. After all, except for the first two days, this kind of thing would always occur when she went to wake Damian up in the morning.
After a long time, Damian spoke softly to Elesa. "Sleep here with me tonight."
Elesa's breathing was a bit fast. The young man's face was reflected in her blurry eyes. Elesa spoke sadly. "Damian, do you really want to ruin my entire life?"
She knew what Damian meant. But the key was... Anthea and Concordia were one thing. She really did not have the confidence to compete with Caitlin and Damian's official girlfriend.
If Caitlin ever got angry and used her psychic powers to throw her off the building, what would she do? In a more extreme case, what if Caitlin turned her into a statue? Elesa really felt that Caitlin was capable of doing such a thing. Caitlin appeared elegant, but that was only on the surface.
Damian pressed his face gently against Elesa's clean cheek. "No, I want to be with you forever."
Elesa did not speak. She only hugged Damian more tightly. Naturally, there was no need to say more.
In the backyard of the inn, Caitlin had a soft smile on her face. She watched the young Lugia playing with the Pokémon in the pond. Seeing how happy the young Lugia was, Caitlin felt her own mood become bright as well. It was very adorable.
Caitlin asked the young Lugia in a soft voice. "Lugia, starting tomorrow, I am going to give you special training, okay?"
Damian had said that she could raise this young Lugia as long as she could make it like her. Clearly, Caitlin had successfully gained the young Lugia's trust and approval. After all, she had cared for it for a long time.
The Lugia was part of the Lugia species. Although it was only a bit over a hundred years old and not very large, its natural talent exceeded that of ordinary Pokémon.
Caitlin believed that if she gave it special training, the young Lugia would definitely improve rapidly. Also, after being carefully fed by Caitlin, its nutrition was excellent.
It was called a young Lugia, but its body was already very large. Even standing up, it was about as tall as Caitlin. With this size, if it spread its wings, it was already larger than Pokémon like Pidgeot.
But this was far from the young Lugia's limit. It was still growing quickly. Caitlin was very confident that she would raise the young Lugia to be even larger than its mother!
The young Lugia's cry was very energetic, and it was very willing. "Wun-wah!"
Caitlin showed a stunning smile. "I will train you well. I definitely will."
"Cynthia! I have a Lugia now! What do you have?"
"I will definitely defeat you!"
