Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Qiao Ran shook his head, driving out the messy thoughts from his head. He looked around, and beside him -

There stood a blue wolf-shaped Pokémon.

It was not the disappeared Sora Akechi, but Suicune who had been with him and fighting until now.

"Come on, let's try the power of Dynamax together this time!"

Qiao Ran actually didn’t quite understand why he had just Gigantamaxed once and could Gigantamax again now, but he had a certainty in his heart that he could use this power again.

This message may have already reached his mind when Cang Xiang nodded to him.

Even if she couldn't appear here now, her power could still be of great help to Qiao Ran - as long as he held this inherited sword in his hand, Qiao Ran would be a true, chosen hero!

"Sui-kun, Gigantamax!!"

Chapter 208 205 [Team Battle: Team Battle]

For Suicune, this was also the first time he had fought such a battle with Qiao Ran.

Even among all of Qiao Ran's Pokémon, only Diancie has experienced the feeling of further enhancing the connection with Qiao Ran during battle and thus gaining more powerful abilities. Although no one has ever brought it up, everyone in Pokémon still envies this experience.

This is also one of the reasons why Diancie has always had a special identity. It is not just because she is the first Pokémon summoned by Qiao Ran, nor is it just because she is the second Pokémon that can be humanized, but because she can achieve special evolution during battle and take into account both beauty and combat effectiveness.

This time, Suicune finally experienced the feeling of fighting together with Qiao Ran. Although it was slightly different from the mega evolution, when the energy in Qiao Ran's body began to be continuously injected into Suicune's body, she still felt an unprecedented feeling.

"Roar--"

Under the influence of the Dynamax energy, Suicune's body began to grow rapidly. Unlike Diancie, whose appearance changed again, Suicune did not actually change in appearance. She just looked like she had grown larger. However, due to Suicune's status as a legendary Pokémon, even if it was just a normal increase in size, it could make people feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Roar--"

A giant blue wolf suddenly appeared on the battlefield. As Suicune's body grew rapidly, the breeze surrounding her became more and more violent. Not only that, a hazy mist surrounded her. From a distance, she looked similar to a blue wolf-type Pokémon from Galar.

The same wolf shape, the same being surrounded by mist, the same nobleness and aloofness.

However, as the messenger of Ho-Oh, Suicune also has many differences from Sora Aoi, especially her control over water attribute, which is a nightmare for these suddenly appearing ground-attribute Gigantamax Pokémon.

Qiao Ran could sense the fighting spirit in Suicune's heart. At this moment, he, like Suicune, just wanted to give a big gift to the Gigantamax Pokémon on the opposite side.

"Suicune! Ultra Water Stream!!!"

"Roar!"

Suicune howled loudly, and as the energy in her body merged with the Dynamax energy, a terrifying stream of water gathered in front of her, and finally, it sprayed out with an incomparably powerful force - that terrifying power was even more terrifying than dozens or even hundreds of water guns and water cannons combined.

"boom!!!!"

Under everyone's gaze, the violent blue torrent directly hit the ground-type Gigantamax Pokémon, knocking them unconscious. Not only that, because the power was so terrifying, after the torrent gradually dissipated, heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

——Just one move, and even the weather changed.

"here you go!"

"Let's start too!"

Suicune's attack made the trainers and gym leaders present excited, and they all launched their own attacks -

The Gigantamaxed Pokémon swung its four thick arms, letting fist-like energy fall from the sky and bombard the Pokémon that blocked its way; while the Gigantamaxed Chameleon lay on the sniper platform, spraying slender and powerful water jets, sniping at the weaknesses of the Gigantamaxed Pokémon like a sniper rifle.

The most terrifying thing is that it is actually the Dynamax Steelix commanded by Ciabana. Galar's strongest gym leader and a strong challenger for the championship, at this time, showed his powerful fighting ability without reservation.

From Qiao Ran's perspective, this Steelix has undoubtedly broken through to the realm of "King", and may even be more terrifying than the King. After all, in this Pokémon world, the combat power is even more terrifying than the real world where Qiao Ran is.

The Gigantamax Steelix, which was as big as a tall building, roared and a black and purple whirlwind blew up in front of it. That was the exclusive Gigantamax move of Mega Steelix - Gigantamax Degeneration!

In addition to causing huge dragon-attribute damage, this move can also reduce the number of times skills are used. Although this effect is very useless in the game, in reality, it can reduce the opponent's combat energy, which is equivalent to reducing the opponent's combat ability. This skill still has a very scary effect!

As everyone started to join the battle

In the middle, the battle here also began to enter a one-sided stage. Under the leadership of the four Dynamax users Qiao Ran, Caidou, Sonya, and Chibana, the Dynamax Pokémon blocking the way were quickly defeated. Especially the sudden arrival of Chibana, a surprise soldier, gave the team a shot in the arm.

However, in addition to those, Suicune also achieved considerable results. Although this was a team battle, Qiao Ran could feel that Suicune's level was increasing rapidly. If Rotom could still move, Qiao Ran would definitely be able to hear the sound of the level rising.

Moreover, perhaps it was because the long sword in his hand enhanced his abilities in some aspects, but at this moment, Qiao Ran not only felt that his body was more excited and his physical strength was better, but even his hearing, vision and smell had been improved to a higher level.

Qiao Ran could even hear people in Quanguan City cheering him on.

"Come on! Big brother with the broken sword!"

"..."

The corner of Qiao Ran's mouth twitched. Why did these words sound so strange?

"Suicune! Increase the force!"

Qiao Ran couldn't figure it out, so he could only vent all his anger on the Gigantamax Pokémon opposite him - besides, he didn't have any good feelings towards these Pokémon that suddenly blocked his way. If it weren't for these guys, he might have completed his mission in this world by now.

Not only that, ordinary people in Quanguan City are also waiting for this batch of supplies to save their lives!

--------------------------------

The battle at the gate of Quanguan City is in full swing, and on the tower inside the city, a man in a suit is holding a telescope and observing the scene in the distance.

"That's really good...it seems that sword is indeed..."

His deep eyes shone with a light that no one else could understand.

"President."

The mature woman standing next to him seemed to want to say something but hesitated. In the end, she closed her mouth on her own.

As the secretary of the man in front of her, her wish is to watch this man fulfill his dream. As for anything else, there is nothing to care about.

Chapter 209 206 [Fist Gate: Entering the City]

The battle at the city gate happened suddenly, but it was over without taking too much time.

The combat effectiveness of these Gigantamaxed Ground-type Pokémon was uneven. Some were very powerful, but some were just fillers, like a large inflatable doll. They were quickly defeated by the attacks of Qiao Ran and others.

"This kind of strength...are my current teammates too strong?"

Although Qiao Ran was a little confused when looking at the Pokémon that fell to the ground, the people in the alliance team, the gym leaders of Quanguan City, and the countless people who witnessed this battle in Quanguan City all remembered this battle in their hearts.

This is the first time they have received outside assistance in several months. The seeds, equipment, and other supplies brought by the outside world can provide them with considerable help. It cannot be said that they have directly overcome the difficulties, but it can be regarded as some considerable progress.

Moreover, the most important thing is not the supplies themselves - but the significance of this aid. They have communicated with the outside world, and they have crossed the long Dynamax blockade line and defeated those terrible Dynamax Pokémon!

This kind of thing would have been unthinkable at any time before!

How many gym leaders, or even more powerful ones, would be needed to defeat those Pokémon? With all of Galar in dire straits, could they really muster so many formidable helpers?

I'm afraid that only a place as "significant" as Quanguan City can enjoy such treatment.

"Great! The Alliance's convoy is coming!"

"Quanguan City is saved!"

"And that sword is... did you see it? That is...!"

"That was a legendary Pokémon, right? It's actually a legendary Pokémon...!"

"Sword Hero! Sword Hero!!"

The alliance's convoy slowly passed through the dilapidated gate. The gate of Quanguan City was a castle gate with a thousand-year history. Whenever it was opened, it was like a giant dragon opening its mouth and swallowing everything directly.

The people of Quanguan City spontaneously came to both sides of the street to welcome the triumphant warriors. Whether old or young, men or women, they were all watching all this with eager eyes.

Amidst the hushed discussions around, shouts of "Sword Brave! Sword Brave!" were heard one after another. Although not many people had seen Qiao Ran swing that sword before, everyone who witnessed it could not forget that extraordinary grace.

"Qiao Ran, this time it's all thanks to you."

On the truck, Caidou looked at Qiao Ran beside her, and there was also a hint of eagerness in her gentle eyes.

“是… …吗。”

Qiao Ran looked at the crowd outside, and a very complicated feeling arose in his heart. Perhaps it was the first time he saw someone greet him like this -

Is this... what it feels like to be a "hero"?

When he first came to this world, he was just an ordinary trainer, and his dream was to become a better trainer.

But, since when did he also...

"Don't be like that. Since everyone is welcoming you, why don't you smile with them?"

The dark-skinned handsome man, Chibana, put his arm around Qiao Ran's shoulder in a familiar manner, interrupting his thoughts. He wanted to pull Qiao Ran along to chat and smile with the people on the street, and even took out his rare Rotom phone to take a photo with Qiao Ran.

In Quanguan City, the "energy center", electricity is the only resource in excess, and Chibana is a person who knows how to "perform" and fully display himself through performance, so he often interacts with his supporters like this and takes photos. However, Qiao Ran really couldn't do the same as him at this time.

“Hmm…hahaha…”

He could only wave his hands stiffly and smile stiffly, but just this action could arouse a huge reaction from the crowd.

Their cheers and screams, the excitement on their faces was beyond words. It was the first time for Qiao Ran to experience such a scene.

"Well? I was right, wasn't I? As long as you smile at others, they will smile back at you."

Qibana gave Qiao Ran a thumbs up, his face still with a bright smile, his white teeth shining brightly against the backdrop of his dark skin.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. If you're tired, you can take a rest. You don't have to do this kind of thing."

Sonia, who couldn't bear to watch it anymore, rolled her eyes and interrupted Chibana's "speech". She had noticed that Qiao Ran was a little absent-minded a long time ago. Compared with the straight men like Chibana and the straight women like Caidou, her mind was indeed more delicate.

"Okay, okay." Qibana waved his hands helplessly. He had just had a sudden idea that after Qiao Ran entered the city, he would take him for a walk in the square.

"Ah."

Qiao Ran also nodded and fell into deep thought again. Although the interaction just now made him feel not bad, Qiao Ran did need a little time to rest.

Although he had been thinking about "becoming a hero" before, Qiao Ran never forgot the purpose of his coming here. The "energy" of this city is his most important goal this time.

Hunting Dynamax Pokémon one by one is a very long and risky process, but if the city's already collected and excess energy can be utilized, it will undoubtedly be a win-win situation.

I just don't know... whether his idea can be successfully implemented...

There is another point. After seeing the lively Rotom phone in Chibana's hand, Qiao Ran had this idea. Maybe he could find more energy here to restore Rotom.

The power bank that Mary gave him had long since been drained by Rotom. Qiao Ran had previously thought that Rotom had lost consciousness again after waking up because he was missing something essential, but when he opened the power bank, he realized that it had already drained all the power.

It's like a bottomless pit.

"Rest here tonight. Don't rush back. The battle just now attracted quite a few 'big guys' here. It will take quite a while for them to disperse."

As the convoy moved forward, Chibana also told them about the next arrangements. As the landlord of this city, it was naturally necessary for him to arrange these things.

"Although there's nothing special to offer, we do have quite a few historical sites and murals in Quanguan City, especially those related to... heroes."

As Qibana spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the sword in Qiao Ran's hand. Quanguan City is indeed a special place. It has legends of the past and the latest technology.

——As for the sword in Qiao Ran’s hand, in fact, not only him, I’m afraid many people will be interested in it.

Chapter 210 207 [Banquet: Nightfall]

In Quanguan City, Qiao Ran and his group received a grand reception. Although the dinner was not sumptuous, it was still one of the more impressive things Quanguan City had to offer.

The commander of the convoy wanted to refuse at first, but he could not resist Chibana's enthusiasm.

"You deserve this meal. Consider it my personal thanks."

Chibana was smiling as usual, but there was a sense of relief in that smile. Quanguan City had been under siege for several months, and morale had already sunk to the lowest point. Every day when he walked along the street, Chibana could feel something heavy pressing on his shoulders.

——If he is like this, let alone ordinary people. If this heavy burden continues to spread endlessly, they will probably have huge problems within themselves without even having to wait for the Gigantamax Pokémon to attack the city.

So Qibana is really grateful to Qiao Ran and the members of the alliance. They brought not only supplies but also hope.

This was also the reason why he was so excited in the car before - this was the first time in these months that he saw such a bright smile on the face of an ordinary citizen.

"..."

Qiao Ran didn't say much. He was not from this world, but he could also understand the pain suffered by this world.

What exactly is the reason that has caused this originally beautiful world to become like this?

From

Mei from Unova had said that Legendary Pokémon had vanished from their continent, and that their land had suffered a severe blow for some reason. A similar situation was also occurring in the distant Alola region. Although Lillie and her companions were trapped on the Aether Foundation's artificial island and had no way of confirming the specific situation outside, the Aether Foundation's initial surveillance had revealed no trace of Legendary Pokémon on the island.

Then why... can legends appear in Galar...
