Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

The light and flames in the air gradually faded, and everything returned to calm.

"..."

The white dragon and Qiao Ran looked at each other, neither of them saying a word.

However, Qiao Ran could feel in his heart that an invisible bridge had been built between them.

If you close your eyes, you can feel the other person's presence; if you concentrate your mind, you can hear the other person's voice.

This is a connection that can only be formed between Qiao Ran and his Pokémon. Looking into each other's eyes, the relationship between the two is self-evident.

The other Pokémon seemed to have noticed this as well, so they all tacitly agreed not to make any noise to disturb them, but continued to perform their duties of keeping watch on the surroundings.

"Reshiram..."

Qiao Ran silently recited the other person's name.

Like Yveltal, Sora, Diancie and other Pokémon, she is also a Pokémon that exists in legends. Moreover, even in legends, she is a highest-level existence and a legend with her own corresponding concepts.

Even someone as powerful as Cang Xiang does not have the so-called concept. The fact that he has a concept proves his "rank" in this world, or in other words, his significance to this world.

If Yveltal corresponds to "death", then Reshiram corresponds to "reality".

As long as it exists, it will continue to exist.

However, unlike Yveltal's "innate" nature, Reshiram's birth should have occurred along with human history.

In ancient times, there existed a powerful dragon. Using its immense power, the dragon, along with humanity, conquered the Unova region and established a prosperous nation.

However, the united human beings did not enjoy the hard-earned peace, but eventually split into two factions, one pursuing "truth" and the other pursuing "ideal", and started a long war. During the war, the dragon was also divided into two parts, "ideal" and "truth".

The ideal black dragon - Zekrom.

And, the real white dragon - Reshiram.

Two concepts were born from this and opened up a new history for mankind.

Therefore, from the moment of his birth, as the embodiment of truth, Reshiram will support the brave who pursue "truth", guide the direction of the world, let people stick to the present, and make the world full of kindness.

Although the concept represented by Reshiram is not an innate idea like "death", but an acquired idea, its existence has deeply guided the direction of the world, and its influence runs through the world's history, present, and future.

"but……"

Although he received help from Reshiram and had her join his team, it was a very happy thing.

However, after Qiao Ran grabbed the Rotom next to him and poked it a few times, and saw the text displayed on it, his expression became subtle again.

Reshiram is powerful, yes, but this...

「Name: Reshiram」

"Level: 20"

Why is the level only 20?

"..."

No, although it may not be nice to say this, this level is a bit too low!!

When Cang Xiang first joined the team, his level was 50, and he could change the tide of battle with just a sword in his mouth! !

"..."

Qiao Ran felt like a basin of cold water was poured directly on his head.

Originally, when he saw Reshiram appear, his heart was really ecstatic. It was impossible for him not to know Reshiram's name. He was expecting that the other party had the power to change everything, just like Cang Xiang back then.

However, this was just his wishful thinking, he might really be a little too tired.

It is not that easy for that kind of thing to happen, and it is impossible for it to go as he wishes every time.

Reshiram is only level 20.

In the current battlefield, even Vulpix and the others are far above level 20. If Reshiram is really only at this level, then Qiao Ran may not plan to let her participate in the battle next time.

This is a very realistic consideration.

Not only did Qiao Ran consider the opponent's combat effectiveness, he also didn't want to see his Pokémon get hurt because of his own wrong judgment. With only a level of 20, it might not even be able to withstand a single Genesect's light cannon.

Although those bugs moved in groups and hunted in packs, this was simply their fighting style, not their weakness when fighting alone. In fact, the power of a single Genesect should not be underestimated; an average trainer would likely be unable to deal with it.

"I... still have some remaining strength to sustain the next battle."

Perhaps sensing the fluctuations in Qiao Ran's heart, a clear and elegant female voice sounded in Qiao Ran's ears.

——Reshiram.

Just like her figure, her voice sounded very noble and abstinent.

"It can only be used for about ten minutes. This is my last bit of strength in this world. So I hope to use it at the most appropriate time."

"How strong is it?"

Qiao Ran's expression grew serious. The mission at this singularity wasn't over yet, and they couldn't use the portal to leave. Furthermore, the Zerg crisis hadn't been resolved, and the situation in Hangzhou wasn't likely to improve either.

Not only that, there are a large number of insects outside the room lurking around. Although it is not clear why those things did not come in, if Qiao Ran wants to leave here, he will inevitably have to face those insects.

Therefore, Qiao Ran didn't want to miss any tiny bit of help.

Especially Reshiram who already exists here

, she must know something.

——Regarding what happened in this world, what happened here, as long as we know these secrets, we may be able to come up with a way to deal with it.

"...The remaining strength should be enough to fight that guy, but only for ten minutes."

Reshiram gave her answer. Although there was some uncertainty in her tone, she clearly mentioned "that guy".

"If we can get that guy out, at least we can solve the current problem."

"...That guy, is that Zekrom?"

Qiao Ran couldn't help but ask. Although he could sense some of Reshiram's thoughts, and the one she called "that guy" was most likely the black dragon corresponding to her, however, facing such a riddle-teller's narrative style, Qiao Ran still felt it was more appropriate to ask more questions.

"Ah."

Reshiram nodded and added, "She is here now."

"Or rather, everywhere."

Chapter 279 275 [Giant]

"...?"

What does it mean?

Qiao Ran was confused by Reshiram's words again, but this time, before Reshiram could explain anything - visible changes had already occurred in the hall.

Perhaps, this change had already begun when Qiao Ran touched the white bead, but it was only now that everyone noticed it.

The originally white room had gradually turned dark from the outside, and was spreading inside little by little, as if announcing that this place had been occupied.

In the room at this moment, the division between black and white is so obvious, they are completely incompatible poles. There is no room for integration between the two sides, but they are clearly divided and repel each other.

“Swish…”

Almost at the same moment, six huge rings were arranged and unfolded in the room, dividing the space into several parts.

A Pokémon with purple skin and red hair, like a giant demon, walked out of the largest ring. A thick black......................aura was wrapped around its body, and its entire body was filled with terrifyingly strong power fluctuations.

Its six arms floated in the air, manipulating all the rings and connecting to the gates of space. In the remaining rings, countless Genesects had poured out like a tide, surrounding this huge hall.

Qiao Ran and his group standing in the throne hall have become trapped prey.

“…Hoopa.”

Qiao Ran read out the name of the Pokémon, which was the name of the giant in the lead.

This is a Pokémon that has magical powers but likes to play pranks. Normally, it is a small, mischievous elf floating in the air. However, under certain special circumstances, it will become what it is now - a huge giant like a demon or evil spirit.

Oops……

Like Qiao Ran's Rotom, Hoopa also has the ability to open space gates, and can open several at a time. No matter how you look at it, it is a very tricky enemy.

After all, in Qiao Ran's understanding, "space" and "time" are the most difficult abilities to deal with in combat. Operating space is already the limit of three dimensions, and the concept of time is already a force of a higher dimension.

"Is this Hoopa also related to Zekrom?"

Qiao Ran glanced at Reshiram, hoping she could give some information. Over the long years, she should have seen Hoopa and knew this Pokémon.

However, Reshiram just nodded and said something.

“…Yeah, a little.”

"I don't know why it's here. Maybe the world thinks it's useful."

“It works very well…”

Reshiram's answer did not contain any new useful information, but Qiao Ran could not help but complain in his heart. The ability of the space gate is indeed very useful, but when this ability is on the opponent's side, it is simply a nightmare!

"There's nothing I can do." He couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the increasingly tense atmosphere in the hall, Qiao Ran knew that the battle was about to break out.

Next, they may face the most difficult battle, an enemy that can open portals infinitely, and - an unknown number of bugs.

However, thanks to this, Qiao Ran also saw clearly who the enemy he should deal with was. As long as he solved the biggest and most troublesome giant, he would be able to take a huge step towards victory.

At least, he can solve the problems Hangzhou is facing now.

As long as Hoopa falls, the accomplice who teleported these bugs will disappear. As long as the bugs don't appear again, his world will be safe.

"So, this situation is actually beneficial to me?"

A smile appeared on Qiao Ran's face, one that was unclear whether it was bitter or happy.

——The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.

But he didn't know whether he could afford such a risk now.

In order to preserve Reshiram's strength, Qiao Ran planned to put Reshiram back into the ball first, and then release it when the time was right.

At the same time, he also quietly moved his body

The power of Evergreen in the body restored the health of the Pokémon as a preparation before the battle.

As the power of Evergreen was used, a strong feeling of fatigue once again crept into Qiao Ran's brain. Multiple mega evolutions and overloaded use of the power of Evergreen had already made Qiao Ran a little exhausted, not to mention the heavy blow to the waist before. Qiao Ran covered his chest, and the edges of his vision had become a little dark.

"what……"

Qiao Ran took a deep breath to sober himself up.

"Master..." The Pokémon nearby were all very worried about Qiao Ran's situation, but under the current circumstances, they also understood why Qiao Ran did this.

If it were them, they would probably make the same choice.

"..."

After regaining some consciousness, Qiao Ran helped Shui Jun stand up.

However, just as he was about to take Reshiram back into the ball, the opponent stopped him.

"No, let me stay here."

Reshiram rejected Qiao Ran's proposal and stated his reasons.

"If I leave this world, it will completely lose its reality, and the entire world will become a victim of ideals..."

However, as Reshiram continued speaking, she started to act like a very conceptual Riddler again. However, seeing Qiao Ran's increasingly confused look, she finally changed the subject.

"In other words, as long as I'm here, I can reduce the erosion of that ideal on those Pokémon, and reduce their combat power! It will be easy to fight them."

It turns out that it can reduce combat effectiveness!

After hearing this, Qiao Ran understood immediately.

According to this logic, Qiao Ran probably understood why those insects did not dare to enter this room before. Those insects were probably afraid of the "real" power of Reshiram.

The insects entangled in black mist are controlled by black ideals.

When the bugs are shot down, the ideals are shattered. When the ideals disappear, Hoopa will appear, teleport the bugs back to this world, and replenish new ideals.

——Thus, new insects were born.

However, in addition to being broken by force, concepts can sometimes become even sharper weapons, just like the clear distinction between black and white in this room.

The so-called "ideal" will also appear extremely fragile and vulnerable in the face of "reality".
