Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Now that she has said so, what is he afraid of?

"..."

Qiao Ran closed his eyes and concentrated his energy in his left hand.

As the power of Evergreen gathered, the appearance of the sword slowly changed.

The originally dilapidated sword began to emit a blue light, and an invisible aura began to spread.

Qiao Ran was very familiar with this breath. It was the aura of Cang Xiang as the King of Swords, and it was the resilience forged by a brave man after going through countless wars.

"...!"

As the aura expanded, Phoebe, who had originally looked indifferent and was thinking about other things, couldn't help but look over here. What she smelled first was actually a certain energy "emitted" by Qiao Ran. However, when she saw the situation on Qiao Ran's side clearly, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Wait...wait?? What is that??"

I saw that in Qiao Ran's left hand, he was holding a huge sword that was shining and shaped like a salted fish.

And that huge sword smashed down right at the ground of her villa.

“Stop… stop!!!”

A drop of cold sweat ran down Phoebe's forehead, and she couldn't help but scream, but - it was too late.

"boom!!!"

Chapter 240 236 [Please!]

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

As the giant sword slashed down——

The fierce explosion filled the entire room in an instant. Everyone present could feel the power that seemed to be able to cut off everything. Amidst the explosion, there was also a distant wolf howl and a faint murderous aura.

"What's this?"

“Such a powerful force…!”

Not only Phoebe, but also Lillie and Mei realized the power of this force. They originally just thought that Qiao Ran had found some way to increase his strength, but now it seems that this has far exceeded their expectations.

——A normal human being has absolutely no way to emit this kind of power.

If humans can do this so easily, then why do we need Pokémon? Humans can just go to the ring!

"boom!!!!"

"Crack!!"

Under the blow of the giant sword, the hard ground finally couldn't hold on and made a crisp cracking sound. However, even after the cracking sound, the momentum of the sword seemed to have not dissipated. Qiao Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason. He seemed to have understood where his previous ominous premonition, which he wanted to confirm over and over again, came from.

He wanted to hold back his strength now, but he couldn't! ! !

"...!!!"

A brilliant blue light flashed, and the ground trembled. The entire mansion shook violently as if it had been hit hard.

"Swipe."

The dust in many corners was shaken out.

——All this actually happened in just a moment.

Even though Phoebe had reacted and wanted to stop it, it was too late.

She could only stand up from her seat in amazement and walk tremblingly to Qiao Ran... in front of the big pit in front of them.

Just a few seconds ago, this was still intact ground.

"Pfft."

Phoebe knelt down in a daze, staring at the huge pit that looked like it had been ravaged by countless excavators... It was so big that it would be easy to bury her directly in it.

"My favorite Western-style house... My favorite and most proud lobby floor tiles..."

Phoebe's voice was so sad that it made Qiao Ran feel cold all over.

He held the long sword that had returned to its original shape, not knowing what to do.

——To be honest, his mind is in a mess now. How could everything that just happened be caused by him?

How could he launch such a powerful attack now?

"Master... I feel a little tired..."

Just as Qiao Ran was thinking this, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart, and it seemed to be a loud voice.

"Sorry... I can't seem to provide any more strength for now... I'm going to take a nap in the frontier."

"..."

Qiao Ran could sense that Cang Xiang was conveying information to him through the "sword", but he could also capture something else from Cang Xiang's words.

Wait, does this kind of attack consume Cang Xiang's physical strength?

And... judging from her tone, it seems that this consumption is quite large.

“Qiao…Qiao Ran…!!!”

"...!"

Qiao Ran shuddered all over and came out of his thoughts. Phoebe, who was originally lying on the ground, had floated in front of him without him knowing when. There was a layer of strange black substance lingering on her face, making it impossible for Qiao Ran to see her expression.

"What...what are you doing? You said it was okay to chop me off. I'm innocent."

Qiao Ran argued for his legitimate rights, but looking at Phoebe who looked like a vengeful ghost in front of him, he couldn't help but take a step back.

"I said it...I said it...I did say it..."

"But I told you to chop it, and you really did it! You're a fool!

???!!!"

Phoebe waved her hand, and countless black shadows swept in from all directions, surrounding Qiao Ran directly in the middle. There was no doubt that these were the ghost Pokémon in the mansion.

"Go and reflect on your mistakes!"

Surrounded by countless ghosts, Qiao Ran lost consciousness with almost no resistance. Even he himself didn't know whether he was hypnotized or had some other skill. However, before losing consciousness, he couldn't help but think.

——This guy... is too unreasonable, right?

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

"Qiao Ran...Qiao Ran?"

"Ah...are you awake?"

When Qiao Ran regained consciousness, it was already a moonlit night.

He found himself lying on a large bed in a room, with two girls sitting beside the bed observing his situation - Mei and Liliae.

"Um...are you okay? How are you feeling now? Are you dizzy?"

Lillie held Qiao Ran's shoulders and asked about his current situation with concern, almost putting her face close to him.

"... Ouch... It hurts." Qiao Ran's mouth twitched. When Lillie's hand touched him, he couldn't help but think of some dark memories. His whole body felt like it was falling apart - that seemed to have happened when he was unconscious, in his dream... Phoebe seemed to have done a lot of strange things, but now he could hardly remember them.

"Is it uncomfortable here?"

On the other side, Mei reached out and rubbed Qiao Ran's head. Lillie followed suit and also massaged Qiao Ran's body.

With the "service" of the two, Qiao Ran's discomfort was slightly relieved. Phoebe's attack was indeed quite cruel. This guy... he had clearly agreed to cut the floor, so why was he still so vengeful?

Qiao Ran complained a few more times in his heart. If he had the chance, sooner or later he would pin this guy to the ground... Yes, sooner or later!

After resting in the room for a while, Qiao Ran climbed down from the bed, put on his shoes, picked up the tea that Liliae had prepared on the small table beside him, and took a big gulp.

"what……"

Although he was still feeling a little unwell, Qiao Ran did not forget a more important matter.

——He had to go to the Ether Foundation to see what was going on with Miyue.

"Lilia, we're almost..."

Qiao Ran's words suddenly paused - when he turned his gaze to Lillie, he was surprised to find that next to Lillie, Mei was also standing upright - looking at him seriously with her bright big eyes.

"Hmm...? What are you doing?"

“Please… please!”

Meiyi shouted to Qiao Ran: "Take me with you!"

Mei's sudden request made Qiao Ran stunned.

"Take you...with me?"

Traveling across worlds wasn't that simple. Even Lillie had to exploit a loophole to achieve it. Furthermore... the conditions for exploiting such a loophole were extremely difficult and difficult to talk about.

Qiao Ran looked at Lillie with a puzzled look, wanting to hear her opinion. Mei Yi's sudden request made Qiao Ran feel that it was probably related to Lillie in some way. Did something happen while he was away?

However, Lillie nodded slightly.

"Mei has thought it through. She will definitely be fine."

"Let her join in."

——————————————————————————————————————————————

py: I, the Master of Heroic Spirits

Traveling to the modern Pokémon world, but using a system that belongs to a Heroic Pokémon?

.......

It's decided that it's you, Kojiro, the one who returns.

Saber, jump away, use the Wind King Hammer, then accumulate strength and prepare to use the Noble Phantasm!

Come out, Tiamat, mother of life and the sea, and dissolve your enemies in your love.

...

Many years later, Yu Zhongming, the leader of the world's strongest elves, recalled what happened that afternoon.

I couldn't help but burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, and my waist and knees ached.

He kept repeating one sentence over and over again - "People can't, or at least shouldn't."

Chapter 241 237 [What do you think? ]

"Let her join? There's no such thing as..."

Mei's eyes were full of determination, but Qiao Ran seemed a little hesitant. He didn't know how much Mei knew about the matter, and... if he wanted to take Mei with him, she would have to go through something similar to what Lillie did.

Lillie's incident could be considered a coincidence and an accident, but Mei's incident was different this time - as a normal girl, this was equivalent to abandoning her human identity and becoming a Pokémon.

Although in Qiao Ran's mind, Pokémon and humans are partners of equal status, there is still a huge status gap between humans and Pokémon, both in this world and in the Pokémon world.

Moreover, even if this happened to Qiao Ran himself, he would certainly not be able to accept this fact easily. In his mind, the relationship between Pokémon and trainers is much closer than that of others. It is not something that can be decided on a whim. On this point, he must make extremely careful considerations.

"I know. Lillie already told me that... I want to be your Pokémon, right?"

Meiyi was speaking when she suddenly paused. She was originally lively and cheerful, and was used to staring into Qiao Ran's eyes when she spoke. However, now she took the initiative to look away while speaking.

"Although the conditions are strange...but I don't have any other choice now. If you disappear again...I don't know how to find you, so..."

Mei's expression was shrouded in a layer of gloom, and her narration became confusing. When she talked about the past and recalled the days during this period, her mood was actually more confused than anyone else. She did not have Lillie's confidence that "she could believe that Qiao Ran could come back", nor could she feel the connection between Qiao Ran and herself, which made her extremely uneasy.

However, those days finally passed, and Qiao Ran returned to them safely.

Mei turned her gaze to Qiao Ran and smiled.

"Besides, if it were you, it shouldn't matter, right? Even if it became a Pokémon or something."

She said this casually, as if she was asking for the dinner recipe, but the two were not the same thing at all.

"Mea Yi..."

Lillie clenched her hands in front of her chest. If it were just her, she didn't want Mei to join in. If it was just her, she could also become Qiao Ran's only "Pokémon", a unique existence.

But... this matter has long gone beyond her own emotions. Mei carries the same belief as her, to save her own world. Her personal feelings are so fragile and vulnerable in the face of these things.

Besides, Mei might not share the same feelings as her, and they might be able to become good friends like Mitsuki.

——This is also the reason why Lillie told Mei this and supported her.

However, looking at the girl in front of her and the interaction between her and Qiao Ran, Liliae always had the illusion that she had made a big mistake.
