Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Qiao Ran quickly agreed. As for what "strange operation" meant, that depended on his definition.

This guy is really worrying too much...

Qiao Ran glanced at the trainer, and because of this glance

, Suddenly, a strange idea flashed through his mind.

"Wait...something's not right."

"what happened?"

Seeing Qiao Ran's expression suddenly become serious, Yi Ruoyun also realized that something was wrong and quickly asked.

Qiao Ran replied, "That's not quite right. Didn't you talk to the Alliance before and they said those Genesects wouldn't attack people?"

Yi Ruoyun nodded: "Yes...ah."

She seemed to realize something.

So, Qiao Ran continued, "Then let me ask you, what were those Genesects doing at the stadium when we came here?"

"...!"

Yi Ruoyun's breathing stopped, she already knew what Qiao Ran wanted to say.

"Those Genesects... are besieging the trainers."

"Yes, they are besieging the trainer, or rather..."

Qiao Ran shifted his gaze from Yi Ruoyun to the group of trainers.

In the bustling crowd, a touch of pink hair is particularly eye-catching.

PS: I forgot to bring my phone this afternoon, and the electronic lock at the door wouldn’t open. I was locked in the hallway, exposed to the cold wind for the entire afternoon. I finally got in when my roommate got off work in the evening, so today’s update is a bit late…

It’s too cold. It’s too cold.

Chapter 269 265 [Girl]

"What did you find?"

Yi Ruoyun leaned close to Qiao Ran's ear and asked in a low voice.

"...Shh." Qiao Ran made a shushing gesture with his hand and walked towards the trainer.

When the trainers saw Qiao Ran coming, they were all very excited. These people were only a little older than Qiao Ran, so they were extremely excited to see his overwhelming performance just now.

Not to mention that there is also Yi Ruoyun next to him.

In the eyes of the younger generation of trainers, she has become the object of pursuit and admiration. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a goddess-level existence, not to mention that Yi Ruoyun herself likes to interact with fans. When she first met Qiao Ran, this guy even pulled Qiao Ran to give him an autograph.

Qiao Ran greeted them one by one, but his eyes were always secretly observing someone among them.

It's no wonder that he is so cautious. He has experienced so much in other worlds that he has already developed some sequelae.

As the observation time increased, Qiao Ran became more and more convinced.

Although Qiao Ran did not see it in the Alola region, he had seen it in the Galar region.

—Miss Joy.

"Eh? Is it my turn? ...Um... My name is Qiao Yi, and I'm a new trainer at the Hangzhou Gym. My skills are still a little lacking, so please...please give me some guidance!"

The girl with long pink hair rubbed her hands shyly. She looked cute, but what she said was a little beyond Qiao Ran's expectations.

Huh? Why not Joey?

"Are you... a native of Hangzhou?" Qiao Ran looked at her face and felt that the more he looked at it, the more similar they looked. It was as if they were carved from the same mold.

This is Miss Joy with her hair down.

"Eh? I... well, I am..."

The girl who called herself Qiao Yi started to panic again when asked this question.

"Qiao Ran?" Yi Ruoyun couldn't help but call out to Qiao Ran. Qiao Ran had never asked anyone else such a question before. Besides, she couldn't imagine what the point of Qiao Ran asking these questions was.

"...I can't really explain it. But I think those Genesects attacking people might have something to do with her."

Qiao Ran was not in a position to explain his guess in public. Regarding Genesect's attack on humans, all Qiao Ran could think of was the previous attacks on Lillie. If the girl in front of him was really "Joey", then the connection between the two would be obvious.

However, the other party now started calling himself "Qiao Yi", which gave Qiao Ran a headache.

"Are you sure...?" Yi Ruoyun frowned.

Qiao Ran's riddle-like statement made her feel a little at a loss as to where to start. However, judging from Qiao Ran's previous performance, what he said was still somewhat credible.

This is also the reason why Yi Ruoyun is willing to listen. If it were someone else, Yi Ruoyun would not stand by and listen to them for so long. It would be quicker to go outside and save a few people.

"No, so I'm not asking a question."

Qiao Ran rolled his eyes. He was still confused and had no idea what was going on.

"I...I...I...I..."

Being stared at like this by a group of people, especially those two big shots who seemed to be staring at him, Qiao Yi's big eyes were suddenly filled with mist, making him look particularly weak, and he even stuttered when he spoke.

"……cough."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but cough lightly. What was going on? Why did he suddenly feel like he was bullying a girl?

"She is actually a newcomer who joined our gym recently." Perhaps he couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so Jiang Yuanhao, the gym leader, couldn't help but stand up and explain a few words.

"...At first, I received a notice from the Pokémon Center saying that they had taken in a Pokémon who had fainted.

The amnesiac trainer on the street was quite capable, so I let her join the gym to try it out."

"But... you've seen her personality. It's like she's afraid of something. She's a little timid in everything she does."

"…Amnesiac trainer?"

Qiao Ran's head buzzed. When he heard this, he thought of a girl he was very familiar with.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

As the situation was extremely urgent, Qiao Ran decided to contact Meiyi on the spot, not only to tell her what happened here, but also to let her identify the true identity of "Qiao Yi".

In any case, Mei must be more familiar with Miss Joy, who is present in every town, than he, an "outsider".

Although asking Lillie might achieve a similar effect, Qiao Ran couldn't possibly perform a magic trick here. Besides, Lillie wasn't a legitimate trainer; she might not even have been to a Pokémon Center...

However, just as Qiao Ran took out his cell phone and was about to look up the number and press the dial button, something strange happened again -

The originally calm space seemed to be rippling, and six small rings suddenly appeared in the air, and then expanded in just one second.

"...!!"

Everyone noticed the change in the situation, or rather, when the "ring" expanded to several meters, it was obviously impossible not to see it.

On the other side of the ring, there seemed to be endless darkness, and nothing could be seen clearly. No matter how long one stared, one could only see a black area, like a rolling black mist and mud.

The scene became completely quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying.

The originally relaxed and happy mood disappeared in an instant.

And what happened next made everyone present tremble in their hearts.

“…Deserve…damn it!”

Yi Ruoyun's expression began to change, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her cheeks.

She couldn't imagine what she was seeing.

Or rather, she couldn't imagine that it was true.

——Dark objects emerged from the endless "mud", and those things were almost identical to the ones they had shot down before.

"..."

Qiao Ran also opened his mouth wide, and the action of pressing the phone had completely stopped.

How is it possible... How can there be so many Genesects?

This number has completely exceeded Qiao Ran's expectations. According to common sense, this is simply impossible.

It was the Galaxy Group in the Unova region that transformed Genesect, but even that Galaxy Group certainly could not achieve this level.

This number... must be over a hundred! ! ! !

Chapter 270 266 [Destruction]

Bugs, bugs everywhere.

Everywhere you look, there are swarms of black insects.

If this was just an ordinary bug, it would be fine. Yi Ruoyun, who is a flying type, must be an expert in dealing with bugs. However, this is not an ordinary bug.

But it was—Genesect.

World-destroying insect.

A hard steel body, a terrifying modern cannon, and a terrifying speed, a mere Genesect is enough to become a demon in the eyes of the trainer.

So, what happens when this demon fills the vision, obscures the sky, and even blocks out the light completely?

"Hurry... run! All of you, run! Run quickly!!"

With almost no hesitation, Yi Ruoyun roared at the top of her voice. When she saw this scene, she realized that the situation here was beyond her control. Even if one of her Pokémon could deal with three Genesects at the same time, it would be just a drop in the bucket for this swarm of insects.

"Go quickly!!!"

Jiang Yuanhao, the gym leader, also did the same thing. He released his Pokémon, including Swampert, Crawlons, Lapras, etc., which protected the group of gym trainers like shields, buying time for them to retreat.

"...!"

The young trainers had never seen such a scene before and were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The girl Qiao Yi stared at the swarm of insects in the sky and froze in place.

"Let's go, let's go!"

In the end, it was some of the older trainers who reacted first, grabbing their companions' hands and running around the stadium.

If they were thinking about "winning" before, then now all they can think about is probably "surviving".

"You go too!"

Yi Ruoyun glanced at Qiao Ran, who was standing beside her and still motionless, and couldn't help but glare at him, wanting her to leave quickly as well.

Although Qiao Ran is very strong, he is still a novice trainer after all. Yi Ruoyun has said before that she must ensure his safety. She cannot just watch Qiao Ran fall into danger here.

"Leave? Where to? Even if we run, will we be safe?"

Qiao Ran asked back, which choked Yi Ruoyun on the spot.

Indeed, as Qiao Ran said, even if we run away, will we really be safe?

In those insects

When a large number of them pour out, the entire city may have already become a dangerous area. Instead of running around in the city, it is better to stay here to block the other party. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

The swarm of insects flying in the sky has begun to destroy the surrounding buildings. After a while, the huge stadium is filled with rubble and ashes rolling down from the air.

In an instant, this place was reduced to ruins.

"I won't be a drag. I should be an old hand at dealing with this kind of thing..."

Qiao Ran released his Pokémon again. After the previous battle, he let them go to the frontier to rest. However, what he didn't expect was that before they could rest for a while, Qiao Ran called them out again.

Qiao Ran always had a plan in mind.

This plan was extremely risky, so Qiao Ran had not implemented it before. However, when the battle situation began to take a turn for the worse, Qiao Ran probably realized that he might not be able to hesitate any longer.

"Sister Yi Ruoyun, I hope you can do me a favor."

Qiao Ran quietly walked up to Yi Ruoyun and whispered a few words to her.

In order to achieve this plan, he needs Yi Ruoyun's help.

"...I want to team up with you to take down a few Genesects? Okay?"

There was nothing wrong with what Qiao Ran said to her, and it was not much different from what she was planning to do. Yi Ruoyun agreed without thinking.

And in just these few tens of seconds, the situation at the scene changed again. The originally dark swarm of insects slowly dispersed, and the circle in the sky began to shrink gradually until it disappeared in front of everyone.

If you look closely, you can see that the insects are not flying around in the sky, but are like an organized army, following strict orders in an orderly manner.

The most peculiar thing was that the bugs did not attack Qiao Ran and Yi Ruoyun who were nearby, but instead destroyed the surrounding buildings and attacked the gym trainers who were fleeing on the other side.
