Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Those things...seem to be ignoring us?"

"Don't worry about that, we can just attack them directly!"

Qiao Ran didn't have time to think about the reasons. He could only keep communicating with his Pokémon and then plunge into the surging sea of ​​insects.

"Giant Beast Slash!!"

The resounding sword light drew a bright glow. This powerful slash was so breathtaking no matter when it was used. However, in the endless sea of ​​insects, not even a splash was caused. Qiao Ran didn't even understand which Genesect he had hit.

Unlike the giant Pokémon we faced in Galar, this battle is even more difficult than that time.

"I'll break up their formation!"

Yi Ruoyun, who had communicated with Qiao Ran, also understood that it was unwise to face a group of insects directly. She released all her flying-type Pokémon, forced her way in from the air, and then used her skills to separate the sea of ​​insects.

"Storm!!! Brave Birds Attack!!!"

Qiao Ran and Yi Ruoyun were both making their own efforts, while Jiang Yuanhao, as the gym owner, was protecting the trainers of his gym and retreating outside the gym to avoid being trapped inside the gym which was gradually collapsing.

Not only that, he also sent a request for help to the Pokémon League, but... it would obviously take some time for the official reinforcements to arrive.

Yi Ruoyun is definitely an exception among exceptions. She is a highly powerful flying king and has the advantage of aerial maneuverability. Moreover, she happens to be nearby. If it were any other trainer, they really couldn't do this.

And... Jiang Yuanhao glanced at the sky. In the current situation, the sky was full of these strange flying things. These things were extremely fast, and their bodies were harder than steel. Even with the support of trainers, those trainers probably wouldn't be able to choose air transportation, right?

This is a devastating blow to the support efforts where every second counts.

“…Why is this happening? This is terrible!”

Jiang Yuanhao gritted his teeth, the situation was indeed getting worse.

As the gym leader, he should at least... protect the trainers in his gym.

Chapter 271 267 [Crazy]

At the same time, in the Pokémon empire.

"..."

The blonde girl was sitting on the grass in a daze, with several white Xuwuides floating around her.

She had known this Pokémon - or rather, strange beast - for quite some time. Although their positions had changed from sworn enemies to fairly good friends, the girl still had a trace of fear in her heart.

The deep fear after being parasitized is like sinking into the deep sea, which cannot be overcome no matter what.

However, now the only ones who can accompany the girl are these Xuwu Yide.

"What's the situation outside..."

Liliae looked at the end of the stream and muttered to herself.

After entering the frontier, Liliae saw a series of shocking facts, witnessed those Pokémon transform into human forms in front of her, and also learned that Qiao Ran had been taking care of this world. However, before she could continue to be surprised for long

, the brutal battle has begun.

She had no time to complain.

She watched the Pokémon leave one by one, then return injured, rest for a short while, and then go out to fight again...

Liliae couldn't see the situation outside, but she was still very anxious inside. Are Qiao Ran and the others... really okay?

It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not worried.

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

The real world, Hangzhou.

The Genesects flying all over the sky have caused great damage to everything around them. Fortunately, these insects do not seem to actively attack humans, so with the intelligence of the alliance and reasonable guidance, the damage has not reached the expected level.

However, this is absolutely not an option.

The danger is increasing with every minute and every second. Even the worst outcome is - even if Qiao Ran and the others can find a way to defeat those Genesects, they will eventually be rescued, then gradually recover, and finally counterattack again. What if?

Qiao Ran had no way of controlling himself from thinking this way. After all, everything he saw confirmed his idea.

Those bugs are endless.

“It just never ends!”

Unlike the battles in the previous two areas, Qiao Ran felt unprecedented pressure this time. This was his world, his country and hometown, and he had nowhere to retreat.

If Qiao Ran previously considered himself a traveler passing by, fighting hard based on his love for the Pokémon world, he now had a completely different feeling.

He finally understood why Mei always had that expression whenever she mentioned her world and hometown.

"We can't allow the casualties to continue to escalate..."

Qiao Ran already felt the seriousness of the situation. No matter how dangerous his previous plan was, he probably had to give it a try.

In order to prevent the worst outcome from happening and to solve all of this fundamentally.

To this end, he secretly asked Rotom to send some information to Mei, who had not yet arrived. After all, if the situation later was the same as he expected, it would be very difficult for them to contact each other again.

Moreover, Mei's fighting ability is not weak. If she can join the battle here, she will definitely be a powerful helper.

"Qiao Ran!"

Yi Ruoyun on the side called out Qiao Ran's name. The cooperation between them also achieved certain results. They separated some Genesects and defeated them one by one. And most importantly -

The time has come!

"Diancie!"

"Cang Xiang!"

"Yveltal!"

"Suicune!"

"Xuwu Yide!!!"

All the Pokémon were ready and launched a fierce attack on their chosen opponents, unleashing their most powerful skills.

Storms of diamonds, sword skills that slash giant beasts, energy that robs lives...

Not only did Qiao Ran's Pokémon attack instantly, but Yi Ruoyun's Pokémon also released their skills at the same time. Both sides were ready to coordinate.

At this moment, several Genesects were shot down from the air, and as if Qiao Ran had calculated it, they fell to the same position.

Other trainers may not be able to do this, but Qiao Ran, who has a telepathic connection with all Pokémon, can achieve this goal.

"Okay! Move on to the next batch!"

Yi Ruoyun had not yet realized what this meant. She was still urging Qiao Ran to continue cooperating with her. However, Qiao Ran had already seen the opportunity and rushed desperately towards the place where the Genesects fell.

"What!?"

Qiao Ran's sudden action surprised Yi Ruoyun, but what happened next made her breath stop.

I saw a ring appear under the Genesects that fell to the ground. At the moment when the ring appeared and the Genesects gradually disappeared, Qiao Ran also calculated the time and used all his strength to jump in.

The two Pokémon on him were trying to make Qiao Ran run faster, and even used their own skills backwards.

The other Pokémon he had released before were automatically taken back into the ball while he was running, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding, as if they had foreseen this happening.

then--

Genesect disappeared, and Qiao Ran also disappeared.

Everything was swallowed up by the circle at that moment. Then, the circle gradually shrank, and finally - disappeared completely.

"It's a lie... ..."

Yi Ruoyun looked at the scene in disbelief, her head still buzzing. Only now did she finally understand why Qiao Ran had made such a battle plan with her. What he wanted was to place multiple Genesects at the same place at the same time, so as to expand the size of the ring and increase the possibility of him being able to jump in!

How could a normal person have such thoughts!

If a normal person encountered such a crisis, he would definitely run away as soon as possible, and would definitely flee as soon as possible when seeing something dangerous. However, this guy actually thought of jumping into a suspicious place.

"..."

Yi Ruoyun no longer had the energy to curse. She should have thought of this when she saw Qiao Ran entering the battlefield.

This guy continued to stay in the center of the battlefield, he must be planning to do something.

I actually jumped into the enemy's portal...

Where on earth did this madman come from?

Chapter 272 268 [None]

This is not the first time for Qiao Ran to come to a strange world.

Although the last time happened not long ago, it was by no means a pleasant experience - the fake President Ross deceived him and lured him into a trap. If it weren't for Cang Xiang's great power, he would probably have been in great danger.

“…Huh…where is this place…”

After jumping into the ring and entering the black fog, Qiao Ran briefly lost consciousness for a few seconds, and everything in front of him was almost pitch black. When he recovered again, he found that the surrounding environment had completely changed.

Gray fog that was so thick that it seemed to be substantial lingered around him. There was no light in the gray sky, and even the ground under his feet was covered with gray gravel and rubble. The whole world seemed to be covered with a gray filter, obscuring Qiao Ran's eyes.

"This is where……"

Qiao Ran looked around in confusion, trying to find a sense of familiarity in the surrounding scene. However, before he could think about it, something suddenly pulled his ankle and dragged him behind the ruins of a vertical wall.

Black, ribbon-like tentacles covered his mouth, preventing Qiao Ran from making any sound.

"Mi..."

——It’s Mimikyu.

Although Qiao Ran was a little panicked at the beginning, he quickly calmed down after realizing that it was actually his partner who did this.

Not only that, Vulpix also took this opportunity to jump back onto Qiao Ran's shoulders and rubbed her soft little nose against his face, indicating that she was fine. Her cool body temperature also transferred to Qiao Ran, calming him down a little.

The only Pokémon that broke into the ring physically along with Qiao Ran were Mimikyu and Vulpix, who were still on Qiao Ran's shoulders at the time. As for the other Pokémon, they all entered the ball in advance under Qiao Ran's command and returned to the frontier.

"..."

The gray world was eerily quiet, but Qiao Ran would not take it lightly. This strange and terrifying scene alone was enough to make him extremely alert.

Through the gaps between the broken walls, Qiao Ran squinted his eyes and glanced straight ahead at where he was.

——Sure enough, something appeared there.

If I had just stood there in a daze, I would have been discovered right away.

"...Is it the Genesect from before?"

What Qiao Ran saw was Genesect, whose body was wrapped in black mist. It was flying in the air, holding in its hands one of its kind who had lost consciousness but was no longer covered in black mist.

"Master, that Genesect must be..."

In order to maintain silence, Qiao Ran and Liuwei did not talk directly, but used the unique connection between them to communicate. At this time, these abilities provided great convenience to Qiao Ran and the others.

"Yes, I think it's the ones we knocked down in the stadium earlier... But I remember that after those Genesects were knocked down, the black mist on their bodies would disappear, but some black gas would still come out of their bodies... But it seems that it's gone now."

Qiao Ran keenly noticed the abnormality. Not only that, the gray things in the air also made Qiao Ran feel a little nauseous. This feeling was different from the feeling of seeing a strange beast. It was just a simple feeling of nausea.

"Master...be careful."

Vulpix and Mimikyu both expressed their concerns. This space was strange and unusual, and no one knew what would happen. If they rashly went in... they didn't want to see Qiao Ran in danger.

Especially Liuwei, she had just spent some sweet time with Qiao Ran last night...she was really scared.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's okay."

Qiao Ran comforted them a little, but he knew in his heart that what he said was probably just a consolation.

The more certain a word is, the more false it is.

Everything that happened in this world wasn't some friendly competition between trainers, nor was it some brief gym battle. It was real...

If you're not careful, you can really die.

Qiao Ran swallowed, but his eyes never left the flying Genesect. He was observing where that thing would go.

"Vulpix, Mimikyu, let's be careful and follow quietly. Wherever that thing goes, there must be some clues."

Searching aimlessly in this world is not a good choice. If you want to truly understand all this, you can only go to the root of it all.

If possible, Qiao Ran certainly didn't want to do so, but when he saw the right opportunity, he would not hesitate.

Even if he is not sure of success, even if he does not have a perfect strategy, he will still do it. After all, that is how he has always been.

As

If you do nothing, what can you change?
