Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

The deeper the feelings between them, the more reluctant Qiao Ran will feel.

Even if the life Qiao Ran saw in the illusion was stronger than the current one, a hundred times stronger than the current one, as long as he lost his current partner, he would not look at it again.

"As expected, you are the master I chose."

Just as Qiao Ran was thinking this, a white shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

Along with it came the ethereal, beautiful and intellectual voice of a young woman.

"You care more about the current feelings than the illusory possibilities."

“Everything that is real is so beautiful that it is worth spending your whole life just to experience it.”

The female voice suddenly became excited, but immediately became depressed again.

"Although, you do care about dreams, otherwise you wouldn't have these thoughts... This is quite in line with that guy's feelings."

"Leshiram?"

Qiao Ran looked back, but only saw a white shadow.

The shadow was blurry, but Qiao Ran knew it was Reshiram, not only because of the feeling in his heart, but also because of the way he spoke "that guy".

The only one who would call it that is probably Reshiram.

The white shadow nodded: "Well, thank you for helping me with the treatment."

She thanked him.

However, although it was just a shadow, Qiao Ran seemed to see the outline of a human being in it. The delicate and graceful curves and slightly curly long hair in two ponytails made her look like a slender, agile and graceful beautiful girl.

...Is it because Reshiram himself was born from human concepts?

So that's why it appears in human form?

After all, Qiao Ran didn't think that a Pokémon that he had just met for a short time had already reached the level of being able to take human form. That would be too strange.

As if he noticed the confusion on Qiao Ran's face, Reshiram just smiled slightly.

Laughed and gave no explanation.

She is a real existence, so when Qiao Ran saw these, it meant that everything was real.

This appearance may not be what Qiao Ran imagined her to be, but it is her true self.

She had seen how Qiao Ran had done everything he could to give her the power.

And the next time is her time to give back.

"Leave the rest of the battle to me, Master."

"If you want to rest up, take a little break."

Chapter 282 278 [Interlaced Flames]

"Ah...ah."

In the outside world, Qiao Ran could no longer support his body and fell down powerlessly.

He seemed to have just seen some kind of hallucination, an illusory world, and a completely different self from the rag he is now. He even mistook Reshiram for a beautiful girl. Sure enough... was his mind already confused and unable to continue?

I actually saw something like this at this time.

Mimikyu and Vulpix were unable to help Qiao Ran up. Their short little arms were useless and they could only lie helplessly beside him. The other Pokémon also had no free hands - just dealing with the increasingly fierce attacks took all their strength. Even the usually majestic Sora Akebono lowered his head in embarrassment, gasping for breath with his mouth still biting the long sword.

Although Qiao Ran previously believed that this battle was also their opportunity, as long as they could behead the Hu Pa, they would be able to greatly suppress the opponent's arrogance and even severely damage the opponent, but as expected, it was not so easy to do such a thing.

In the end, it was they who were forced into a desperate situation.

The other side has a world behind them and has endless and inexhaustible resources. Even if a Genesect is injured, there will be a new one to replace it immediately. On the other hand, Qiao Ran's energy is used up as time goes by. If they continue to fight like this, it will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out.

"..."

Qiao Ran struggled to stand up again, but he couldn't do it. He could only look up at Reshiram who had her eyes closed in front of him, hoping that she would respond to him.

White is not only real, it is also hope.

“Huhuhuhu…”

However, all he got in response was Hoopa's increasingly violent shouting. The huge demon-like body exuded bursts of black air, and powerful superpowers burst out from it, distorting the surrounding space.

The other Genesects followed suit, even adopting a strategy of retreating after completing their bombardment, only to be joined by the next batch. Under this relentless barrage, even the strongest shields could not withstand it. Not only Qiao Ran's Pokémon, but even the platform beneath them, which Diancie had repaired, began to sway, like a candle in the wind.

Is it really going to end here?

Qiao Ran was extremely unwilling, extremely unwilling.

He didn't want to admit that this was his end. But... facing such despair, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

He had wondered before why he took such huge risks every time and gambled his life every time.

Is it because there is something he wants to find and protect, or is it because he wants to meet the expectations of the Galarians who call him a hero?

Being called a hero means that the hero must fight for it at the risk of his life?

Could it be that he has been kidnapped and bound by something all the way here?

"..."

Maybe... these are not actually the reasons.

The corners of Qiao Ran's mouth curled up slightly, and when he was about to be overwhelmed by the attack, he felt relieved.

——If he were to do it again, he would still do the same.

Therefore, it is not because he has gained these and become a hero that he fights so hard, but he has been such a person from the very beginning.

Maybe that's why he was chosen.

“Roar, roar, roar…!!!”

In the last second of his life, Qiao Ran heard an explosive dragon roar.

Then—dazzling light filled Qiao Ran’s tightly closed eyes.

He opened his eyes tremblingly, only to see the pure white dragon standing before him and all the Pokémon like a god.

She flapped her white wings and hovered in the air, her white hair fluttering in the wind. She proudly raised her long neck and stared at everything with her blue eyes.

As her wings moved, the turbine-like structure on her tail trembled continuously, emitting a fiery red light and spreading out endless heat. As the flames on her tail burned, the originally gray sky began to faintly reveal a pure blue. Beautiful and dazzling sunlight filtered through the dome of the throne room, as if a layer of golden gauze was draped over her white body.

At this moment, she may be the true hero, the white dragon Reshiram, one of the Twin Dragons of Tao.

Then, she opened her mouth wide, and the turbine at the rear began to spin more violently. A terrifying fireball, even bigger than her body and surrounded by two rings of fire, gradually took shape in front of her. It seemed as if it wanted to burn everything around it.

Like a small sun, before the Genesects' attacks arrived, before they could react—the fireball had already been launched.

...intertwined flames!

Qiao Ran couldn't help but shout out in his heart, this skill was undoubtedly one of Reshiram's unique skills - Interlaced Flames!

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!"

Countless moves collided again in the air, but this time, it was the fireball that seemed to be like a whirlwind, destroying everything that blocked its advance. The giant cannon used by Genesect could not stop its flight trajectory at all. Countless light cannons shot at the fireball, but could not shake it at all.

The true light swallows up all bubbles.

Finally, in Hoopa's terrified eyes, the huge fireball was approaching him. He wanted to use his telekinesis, but found that his ability was greatly weakened within the range of the fireball.

"...!"

Why... is it so powerful?

"Zizzizi!!"

Just before the fireball was about to hit, many Genesects flew in front of the fireball at an extremely fast speed and used their bodies to block this extremely terrifying attack for Hoopa.

The flames dissipated as the insects continued to attack, and the fireballs disappeared into the air. However, in the flying sparks, countless Genesects fell to the ground powerlessly.

Like rain, it fell on the marble floor with a ping-pong sound, creating deep pits of various sizes.

Their bodies simply could not withstand such a powerful attack, not to mention that this attack was of the fire type, which was four times more effective against Genesect.

Reshiram's flames burned everything like a rotten tree.

Looking at her back, Qiao Ran remembered the last words she said to him in that "hallucination".

"Put your mind at ease... Is that what you mean?"

Chapter 283 279 [Time]

Inside the throne room, the battle continues.

Taking advantage of Reshiram's great power, Qiao Ran's other Pokémon also got a chance to rest and catch their breath. They had been fighting all the time and were too tired.

Even Qiao Ran himself breathed a sigh of relief. Reshiram's performance really surprised him, or perhaps it was too good.

However, what Qiao Ran had never expected was that after showing off his might, the first thing he heard in his mind was Reshiram's apologetic voice.

"Feel sorry……"

While saying sorry, she condensed a fireball that was even bigger than her body.

Just like the previous situation, countless Genesects were roasted by the fireballs and could not move, and fell from the sky one after another.

This scene with such a huge contrast made Qiao Ran feel extremely absurd.

Until Reshiram's voice sounded again.

"I'm sorry, Master... I originally wanted to save this power for when I deal with that guy, but there's no other way. For everyone's safety, I can only use it here in advance."

"...!"

After hearing this, Qiao Ran finally realized why Reshiram had been apologizing.

She had said before that she had some remaining power, and she wanted to save it to deal with the black dragon that matched her, and to solve the troubles of this world, but now...

"Did you use that remaining power in advance?"

Qiao Ran didn't mean to blame her at all. She was able to stand up here and save everyone. There was nothing to regret in using up her strength.

But... since it has already been used, we must make full use of its value.

As for facing more powerful enemies in the future, we can only take it one step at a time and deal with them as they come.

After all, no one knows what will happen next, and they have already tried their best just to survive.

"...How long can your strength last?"

"Because the master treated me before, it should be five minutes longer than the previous ten minutes."

Reshiram gave his own answer. The power called "Evergreen Power" used by Qiao Ran was indeed very powerful. If she had a little more, her recovery might be better. However, in the current situation, there was no way to ask for anything else.

"My current state can basically be seen as demanding power from the reality of this world. If I use up all my power, I will also enter a period of weakness. So, Master... what should I do now?"

"..."

Qiao Ran took a deep breath. As a trainer, he was making decisions all the time, but every time it came to this moment, he would feel a little nervous.

"…We'll reduce the energy first, and then we'll…"

Qiao Ran was communicating carefully with Reshiram in his heart, planning the next action.

Since there are only fifteen minutes, we must succeed this time.

——Only in this way can they buy themselves more breathing space, and... this is also one of the purposes of their coming here.

“Hu…Huhuhuhupa!”

On the dark Pokémon side, Hoopa commands several leading Genesects, and the leading Genesects command their swarms, and they have always fought in this way.

They are the most powerful predators and a terrifying existence, but this time... Hoopa actually wanted to retreat.

Too strong... too strong...

The dark shadow in its mind has been tempting it to leave quickly. The white dragon is undoubtedly their nightmare and their nemesis.

The tall demon giant raised his six arms, ready to leave at any time. As long as Hoopa wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

But at this moment, Hoopa discovered something.

“…Hu pa?”

The opponent's skills seem to have weakened...? His body also seems to have become...weaker?
