Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Let me think about it."

Qiao Ran was silent and stared at Meiyi for a while. He did not directly agree to the other party's request, even though he was already somewhat touched in his heart.

"Rotom—"

Qiao Ran summoned Rotom and disappeared into the room in a faint light.

Lillie and Mei did not show any strange reaction to this. They had already known about Qiao Ran's ability in this area, and they also needed to give Qiao Ran some time.

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

"So, what do you think about this matter?"

In the Pokémon Exploration Area, Qiao Ran sat on the grass, with a large circle of Pokémon sparsely surrounding him. Even Cang Xiang, who had previously consumed a lot of energy, came.

Qiao Ran explained Meiyi's situation to them and wanted to hear their opinions.

After all, if Mei becomes a "Pokémon", she will be their partner, and it would be impossible to hide it from them.

"The master is saying strange things again..."

After listening to Qiao Ran's narration, the leading Pokémon all showed helpless expressions. A human had come among them before, and now they wanted another human to join them?

"What do you think? Should we let her..."

Qiao Ran asked again, but no one answered him. The Pokémon around him were looking at him with resentful expressions.

"that……"

For them, they had just experienced a great battle and should have enjoyed their time. Qiao Ran should also fulfill the many things he had promised them before. They originally thought that Qiao Ran came here at night just for them, but who knew it was for this kind of thing.

"Why are you asking these questions? What does it have to do with me?"

In the end, it was Yveltal who flapped his wings, descended from the sky, and pinned Qiao Ran under him.

"What you told me during the previous battle...is about the same..."

A drop of sweat flowed down Qiao Ran's forehead: "..."

Of course he knew what Yveltal was talking about, but he had just swung his sword during the day, which consumed a lot of his physical strength. If he gave Yveltal a full set of power using the power of Evergreen, he would probably have to lie in bed for the whole week.

"Down……"

"Down?"

Yveltal glared at Qiao Ran, which made him swallow back his words that he would definitely do it next time. Looking at her, Qiao Ran even felt that if he didn't agree now, she would pin him down right there.

No...that's not right, he seems to have been pinned down!

"..."

Beads of sweat dripped down Qiao Ran's head. Mei and Lillie were waiting for him outside. He couldn't go out to see them with a weak face and nothing left, right?

This is wrong!

"wait wait wait!"

Suddenly, just as Joe

When Ran felt desperate, two figures suddenly stood in front of him.

Qiao Ran looked up and saw that the people coming were Vulpix and Diancie. They were both Pokémon that could transform into human form, and they were extremely conspicuous among all Pokémon.

"Well……"

Qiao Ran was moved, looking at the two figures with tears in his eyes. He didn't expect that the people who came to save him at this time would be Diancie and Vulpix. They were indeed his first partners.

However, what Vulpix and Diancie said next made him freeze in his tracks.

"We should be the first! Yveltal, you should be behind!"

A bunch of question marks popped up in Qiao Ran’s head: “……???”

Etc., etc!

What on earth are you two doing here???

Chapter 242 238 [Why Why Why]

Qiao Ran originally thought that the arrival of Diancie and Vulpix was a timely rain after the scorching sun, and the sun in the cold winter, but what he never expected was that these two guys suddenly stood up and simply added fuel to the fire!

"What do you two mean? Huh?"

Seeing Vulpix and Diancie suddenly jump out, not only Yveltal frowned, but the Pokémon around them also began to talk.

"What's going on with those two...?"

"Could it be... that the master secretly told them something?"

"We didn't know...it would be like this..."

The discussion became louder and louder. However, as the discussion escalated, they did not turn their attention to Vulpix and Diancie. Instead, they looked at Qiao Ran with increasingly regretful eyes, as if everything was Qiao Ran's fault.

"Hey! What's going on?"

Yveltal looked at Qiao Ran who was pinned under her, trying to force the truth out of him. As she asked, some Chaos Neutral Pokémon around her also approached, repeating the same questions.

"Yeah, what the hell is going on?"

"What happened? What happened?"

Facing this overwhelming onslaught, Qiao Ran felt uneasy. He could talk about Yveltal's situation—they were simply doing a regular Viridian Force massage, which was good for restoring strength and strengthening the body. But... Vulpix and Diancie were a bit of a long story.

The agreement made that night was not something that could be discussed publicly. If Qiao Ran said it out loud, who knows what these Pokémon would think of him.

To desire one's own Pokémon and to make such a promise.

——It is estimated that he will never be able to recover his dignity as a trainer.

Qiao Ran glanced at Vulpix and Diancie who were standing beside them. They seemed to have not expected the current situation either. Before, when they saw Yveltal being so proactive, they jumped out without thinking, but the situation now became more and more out of control - even the humanoid Xuwuid had taken advantage of the chaos to grab Qiao Ran's left hand and started licking it on the spot. There were also many Xuwuids around her who acted as natural meat shields, resisting the pressure from all sides.

"Say it!"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

“Lick, lick, lick…”

The scene became increasingly chaotic, almost reaching the brink of collapse. In the end, it was Suicune who stood up.

"Everyone, stop arguing!"

In her hand, she was holding an object with a strange expression and a shape similar to a mobile phone.

"...Rotom, do you have anything to say?"

“Cough… er, cough cough cough…”

Suicune's identity is rather special. She usually considers herself a maid and also helps Qiao Ran to convey information, but she does not have the appeal to make everyone obey her. However, if it were Rotom, perhaps he could really do that.

——At least for now, everyone's attention was focused on the red smartphone. After all, no matter how unreliable it was, Rotom still had the title of "System Elf".

This title is still very useful.

Rotom, who was being held in Suicune's hand, coughed lightly.

"Ahem... It's like this, Loto. I just wanted to tell my master that it's getting late now. If we don't leave for the Alola Continent soon, I might have to go recharge, Loto."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ran immediately raised his head and looked at Rotom, whose expression was odd and almost winking from his perspective. Qiao Ran seemed to suddenly realize something -

"What? Is it that late already?"

He raised his left hand and a stream of green energy emanated from it, turning Xuwuid next to him back into a mollusk. At the same time, he took advantage of Yveltal's inattention and slapped her on the lower abdomen.

"...!"

Yveltal, who was pressing on Qiao Ran, widened her eyes. This degree was not enough to make her lose control. However, when Qiao Ran's hands began to move around, her huge body still fell down.

Yveltal, who was lying on the ground, looked at Qiao Ran who stood up again, with an expression of unwillingness in his eyes.

"You... are despicable!"

"Sorry." Qiao Ran brushed off the dust on his body, with a hint of apology in his eyes. He actually didn't want this to happen.

"

Time is running out tonight. I'll come back to see you after I finish other things. I won't refuse then."

Lillie and Mei were waiting for him outside, and he also needed to go to Alola to see Mitsuki - he definitely couldn't go out looking so weak.

"Rotom!"

"Got Lotto!"

Qiao Ran stretched out his right hand, and Rotom actually flew straight into his hand. With a flash of light, Qiao Ran disappeared from the spot, and it seemed that he had already left the frontier.

"hateful!"

Lying limp on the ground, Yveltal looked at Xuwuid who fell beside her, her eyes filled with infinite anger. However, she really couldn't calm down for a while.

“He actually ran away!”

"what is going on?"

"There's something fishy going on..."

Qiao Ran's actions once again caused discussion among the Pokémon, but Diancie looked in the direction of Suicune and met his eyes.

Suicune didn't seem to react for a moment, and Diancie actually looked at where she was. Did she discover something?

Looking at Diancie's rose-red eyes that were clearly filled with doubt, Suicune felt a certain certainty in his heart.

"...Shh."

Suicune placed a finger to his lips and blinked softly.

It was she who made Rotom stand up, and it was she who threw Rotom out, allowing Qiao Ran to make contact with Rotom immediately and escape successfully.

——Everything she did before was not only to help Qiao Ran, but also to help Diancie, Vulpix and the others.

On that night, perhaps Suicune was the only one who discovered the "tip of the iceberg" of the matter. The master... must have gone to the cave where Diancie lived, and Vulpix was also present at that time.

That night...something very special must have happened.

Although Suicune didn't know the details, she had a premonition that if this matter was revealed, the peace of the open area would definitely be broken - this was not what she expected to happen.

"but……"

With his eyelids drooping slightly, Suicune looked down at his hands, the smile on his face slowly fading.

But...why did she feel so uncomfortable in her heart?

Chapter 243 239 [Sight]

"Huh... so dangerous."

Back in the real world, Qiao Ran patted his chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation just now was absolutely hopeless. If we had continued to stay there, God knows what would have happened.

——Although Qiao Ran could understand their feelings, after all, they had just experienced so many dangerous battles and even crossed three different worlds. Each time was a crisis that was enough to endanger their survival. This kind of pressure on them was unprecedented.

"Looks like we need to think of something next. We need them to relax a bit, otherwise what happened today will probably happen again..."

Being on edge all the time is extremely disadvantageous for a battle that may come at any time. As a trainer, Qiao Ran must consider the future, but now... he obviously has more important things to deal with.

"Master, this won't happen again, Loto."

Rotom floated in the air for a while, then returned to the Poké Ball and headed back to the frontier. No matter what, helping Qiao Ran escape from the crime was really damaging to her good reputation. If it happened a few more times, she would probably be hated by everyone.

"Ah."

Qiao Ran responded and stood up from the bed.

He is still in the room he left before, but Lillie and Mei don't seem to be there. Did they go out temporarily for some reason?

"Just enough to tidy up a bit."

Qiao Ran went into the bathroom and took a hot shower. In addition to washing away the fatigue brought by the previous riot, he also changed his clothes.

When he came out of the bathroom, Liliae and the others had just returned from outside, but - looking at their tiptoeing movements, Qiao Ran couldn't help but ask a question.

"Where... have you been?"

"Shh-"

Mei stretched out her hand to ask Qiao Ran to be quiet, then pointed to the bag in her and Lillie's hands. The bag was pitch black and no one knew what was inside it, but it looked bulging on the outside, as if it contained a lot of things.

"These are... We managed to ask some familiar ghost Pokémon to gather some food and necessities. If we want to go to Alola, Mitsuki will definitely need them too."
