Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"How... is this possible?! He actually... cut through the skill!!"

Looking at the unbelievable scene in front of her, Caidou seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and even forgot that she was being held by Qiao Ran. The other party's right hand not only hooked her body, but also placed it in a strange position.

In front of her, the man raised the sword with his human body and cut the powerful skill into two parts without a doubt. The powerful posture made her feel dazed. This guy... is he really the weak man just now?

"Sword Hero..."

Caidou murmured to himself, every Galar has heard the legend of the brave, in the stories passed down, the sword

The Hero and the Shield Hero are actually the same person. When Galar is in danger, the Hero will appear with a sword and shield in hand. He will use his indomitable sword to cut off the enemy and use his unyielding shield to save the world and restore peace to the world.

However, just a few months ago, shortly after the disaster, Galar's most famous Pokémon doctor, Dr. Mulan, released the latest research, proving that there are actually two heroes, and announced the ancient paintings of Sword and Shield. She also mobilized all Galars to search for the traces of the heroes, hoping to use ancient legends to save this devastated land.

"..."

Caidou looked at Qiao Ran's face, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly emerged in her heart. From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a strong existence. Not only can men of the same age not beat her, even men who are older and taller than her cannot beat her. Gradually, she can no longer be satisfied with humans, and chooses to train with Pokémon.

Pokémon is powerful, but it soon brought her a blow. She could fight against the Pokémon normally, but when the Pokémon started using skills, she was completely unable to resist. That was a completely different level of power.

However, the man in front of her now easily did what she couldn't do - using his human body to break the skills released by Pokémon.

——It’s even a skill after Gigantamaxing.

Caidou had never felt this way before, being touched repeatedly by a man, and being held in his arms, carefully observing his face.

If you look at it this way... this guy seems pretty good looking...

"boom!!!!"

The storm split into two and exploded behind Qiao Ran. The violent wind pressure gradually subsided, and two long grooves were plowed directly on the ground. Only the place where Qiao Ran was standing remained intact.

——He was panting, holding high the long sword in his left hand, a green light emanated from his hand, and his body still maintained a slashing posture; while his right hand was holding the already dazed Caidou, who no longer had any intention of struggling.

“Hu…Hu…Ha…”

Qiao Ran was breathing heavily. At that moment, his heart seemed to jump out of his chest. Facing such a huge skill, he didn't even know what he was thinking. However, he understood only one thing - he would not just stand behind a girl like this. He didn't want to live in such a miserable way.

And at the moment he stood up, a strange, courageous power surged from the sword, and he seemed to hear a faint sound.

"..."

It was a long and distant howl, full of the vicissitudes of time and awe-inspiring majesty. At the same time, Qiao Ran also heard praise for himself.

And then—that was what he saw.

The sharp edge is revealed, the sword cuts through the wind!!

"Owner!"

"Owner!!"

Seeing that Qiao Ran was safe and sound, the Pokémon around him breathed a sigh of relief. What had just happened almost made them collapse, but fortunately... everything did not turn out to be the worst case scenario.

However, the moment they breathed a sigh of relief, Steelix, who was lying on the ground with red eyes and a confused face, became the best target for them to vent their anger.

Who am I? Where am I???

Why was my ultimate move cut in two by a human? ? ? ?

What the hell is wrong with this world??? Is there any point in making sense in this world???

"boom!!"

Just when Steelix was still thinking about these philosophical questions, a series of skills came down from the sky again, directly turning it into a furry crow.

"Die, die, die, die!"

Yveltal didn't even think about the restraint relationship and swung Deathwing in the sky. Although this skill couldn't cause the life of Pokémon with higher levels than her, it was still very good for venting anger.

If a Pokémon of a lower level is hit by this skill, it will definitely be beyond help unless Xerneas is present. It will just have to wait for death. There is no hope.

"Ouch!"

After being bombed by a round of bombs, Steelix lost consciousness on the spot, and his body shrank rapidly. In a short while, it became about two meters long as before.

This time, a very obvious energy floated out from its body. Even Qiao Ran could clearly see this red and black energy coming out from Steel Crow's body, and then entering the long sword in his hand at a considerable speed.

"this is……"

Qiao Ran could feel that his connection with the sword was becoming closer, and perhaps it was because of this that he saw these unusual things.

However, before he could think for long, he heard a series of intense and heavy footsteps coming from not far away.

——It seems like something huge is approaching here quickly.

"not good!"

Caidou, who was hugged by Qiao Ran, changed her expression. She knew what this movement meant here. Although the battle just now did not take too long, it still attracted the attention of some Pokémon.

"We must leave here quickly!"

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Qiao Ran, as if asking for his opinion.

Qiao Ran slowly reacted at this time - Wait... How could I

Are you still holding this guy?

The strangest thing is, this guy didn't even resist??? Isn't this a little... not right???

Chapter 191 188 [Retreat: Transformation]

The earth shook and the mountains and sand and rocks overturned.

Sensing movement in the distance, Qiao Ran and Cai Dou looked at each other and prepared to find a place to hide quickly. However, before leaving, Qiao Ran took out a Poké Ball and asked Diancie to put Steelix, who was lying on the ground with his eyes spinning, into it.

Although she is not the Fighting-type Pokémon that Qiao Ran needs most, she is a rare Pokémon that can Gigantamax after all, and her sky-blocking and sun-blocking posture is still very "pleasing".

As for Caidou - Qiao Ran is still a little confused about her thoughts. He has not known this girl for a long time, but he can see that she is a very responsible person. Not only will she not abandon him because of danger, she will also choose to protect him when he is in crisis.

Qiao Ran was a little distracted and actually moved his right hand. The result of moving his right hand was that he rubbed Caidou's body.

“…Ah…I’m sorry.”

Qiao Ran broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Perhaps because of the aftereffects of facing Tie Ji, Qiao Ran subconsciously thought that he was definitely going to be hit by a human explosive punch. However, Cai Dou just stiffened his body slightly and did not attack him.

"No...it's okay, it's okay."

"Let me help you. How are you? Are you hurt?"

Not only that, she also took the initiative to support Qiao Ran, and even asked about Qiao Ran's physical condition with great concern. Her eager look surprised Qiao Ran.

What is going on? What is going on in this world?

This incident was as strange as if he accidentally bumped into Tie Ji, but the other party did not hit him, but instead asked him with great concern if he was okay.

Is this an indirect question about his ability to withstand blows?

"No...that...you don't mind?"

If this person was Diancie or Suicune, Qiao Ran would not be surprised at all, but this is Caidou. Shouldn't she be a rather cold and seemingly emotionless fighting gym owner?

Since he has such strange power in his body, he probably likes to solve problems by hand, just like Tieji, right?

At that moment, Qiao Ran really thought that he was about to be beaten by Ola.

"It's okay, if it's you... No, the most important thing now is to leave quickly!"

Caidou seemed to want to say something, but her language was obviously very clumsy. Moreover, she knew what was most important to do now. They should leave quickly instead of discussing these things here.

She has already said that she doesn't care.

So she simply lowered her head and stopped talking to Qiao Ran, but she still honestly supported Qiao Ran with her body.

"...?"

very strange.

In the game, Qiao Ran's impression of her was probably that of asexuality. No matter what happened, she would remain calm and maintain the demeanor of a fighter. How could she be like this now... even a little shy?

However, Qiao Ran couldn't see Caidou's face now, so he had no way of judging her current mood. Maybe this guy just felt that the situation was very dangerous, and once he found a safe place, he would turn around and ask Ola about him.

Or... could it be that my previous action of cutting off the whirlwind really had some miraculous effect?

No...impossible, right?

They met for less than an hour.

Qiao Ran didn't think his charm was that great. If he was really that great, he wouldn't have stepped on all kinds of landmines along the way.

"..."

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran suddenly felt a chill on his back, giving him goose bumps.

Qiao Ran turned around and found that Diancie had taken the Poké Ball and was floating behind him very obediently.

"……Ha ha ha ha."

Qiao Ran quickly laughed dryly to hide his inner embarrassment.

When did this guy… come here? He even learned Vulpix's skills.

————————————————————————————————————

Gigantamax Pokémon are very difficult to deal with.

Caidou supported Qiao Ran and hid in several different places, finally avoiding the Gigantamax Pokémon that came running after hearing the noise.

Hiding in the dark ruins, Qiao Ran saw the huge Alakazam, the huge Gengar, and even the huge Dragonite. The heights of these Pokémon were taller than dozens of stories, and they were truly giants.

"...Galar is truly dangerous."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with other regions, the things happening in Galar are indeed much more dangerous. Before, when he was in the Aether Foundation, he was surprised that those Voidids would directly attack the trainers. But now in Galar, it is no longer a question of whether to attack the trainers or not, but the trainers may be directly wiped out by the aftermath of the skills just by standing by.

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this.”

Caidou shook her head. She really shouldn't have

Galar, thanks to the Dynamax energy, has developed, greatly improving both entertainment and energy. However, something went wrong, causing everything to change and become what it is today.

Caidou was born in the prosperous era of Galar. She has been watching Galar getting better day by day since she was a child, until the energy bubble burst and everything got out of control.

Moreover, she and Marie are basically the same age, and their impressions of Galar are basically similar.

"Qiao Ran."

In the crowded gap, Caidou leaned against Qiao Ran, her body still pressed tightly against him.

She seemed to be accustomed to this level of contact, and since she didn't say anything, Qiao Ran had no objection.

To be honest, as a sporty girl, Caidou has a very good touch, which is very different from many people. She is also a little softer and cuter than Tieji.

"Will you come with me next? I want to take you to see someone."

"Who?"

Caidou's words aroused Qiao Ran's interest. Who would she want to take him to meet at this time?

Could he be some very important person?

"Yes……"

Caidou glanced at Qiao Ran, but just when she was about to continue speaking, a rustling sound came from outside the gap where they were hiding.

"...!"

Caidou shut her mouth instantly and looked at Qiao Ran. They both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

There's something outside!

What... is outside?!

Chapter 192 189 [Safe House: Basement]

"Crack, click, click."

The sound of stones peeling off continued, and it was obvious that something really had come here.

Is it a Gigantamax Pokémon?

No...if it was a Gigantamax Pokémon, it wouldn't make this much noise.

Qiao Ran squinted his eyes and looked out through the gap, wanting to see what the situation was outside. However, through the narrow gap, the first thing he saw was a brilliant green.

Green...green???
