Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Peach fruit is some kind of tree fruit used to detoxify. Moreover, he originally planned to introduce some tree fruits and build a plantation in the frontier, but... going on stage to receive these things always feels a bit weird.

This is too different a treatment!

"Don't be shy! You're the one who helped our gym's benefactor, so hurry up!"

However, just as Qiao Ran was thinking, a figure rushed out from the side. It was Jiang Yuanhao, the owner of the Hangzhou Gym.

The energetic young man raised his thumb and smiled at Qiao Ranyang. Then, the lighting technician very tactfully put a beam of light on the two of them.

"Although Xiao Qiaoyi is still out of town, she said she wanted to thank you! Haha!"

Qiao Ran: “…”

Facing the gazes from all directions, Qiao Ran felt completely numb.

What the hell!

I'm on stage, isn't it okay for me to be on stage?

!

Qiao Ran walked up to the stage stiffly, took the microphone from Yi Ruoyun, and said a bunch of incomprehensible polite words.

"Hehe... Thank you everyone, thank you Pokémon, thank you Alliance, thank you all..."

Afterwards, Qiao Ran walked off the stage stiffly with a pot of fruit in his hand.

In fact, except for Yi Ruoyun, who had dead eyes when she turned to look at him but was smiling the rest of the time, no one else in the audience welcomed him. The main reason was that Qiao Ran had attracted a lot of hatred when he appeared before.

I still remember this grudge!

Under the huge stage, only Jiang Yuanhao and Tie Ji and her group, who were unaware of the truth, were applauding.

Qiao Ran's Pokémon wisely looked away. This was such an embarrassing play.

When stepping down from the stage, Qiao Ran looked at Jiang Yuanhao with a smile on his face. Looking at that face, he couldn't help but make a note in his mind.

On X/X/XX, Jiang Yuanhao, the owner of the Hangzhou Pavilion, forced me to stand on the stage as punishment. I will remember this grudge.

See you at the gym tomorrow!

I killed them all by myself!

————————————————————————————————————

Except for Qiao Ran who only got a pot of fruit, Lillie and Mei got some good things.

"Monarch is a Grass-type Pokémon. This large root can increase the Grass-type's energy a bit, and it can also increase the recovery amount of draining skills during battle."

Yi Ruoyun took out a small brown bulb and handed it to Meiyi.

By using this item, Grass-type Pokémon can absorb special nutrients during daily training, and it can also play a good role in battle.

"I look forward to the day when we can play 6vs6."

"of course."

Mei took the prop from Yi Ruoyun's hand with a smile. Although the improvement of a single prop was very limited for her level, it was also a token of Yi Ruoyun's thoughtfulness. This big rhizome was obviously chosen for her.

Besides...

Mei thought of Qiao Ran's painful look when they were shopping this afternoon. If she really couldn't use this thing, it would be a good idea to exchange it for money.

When he has no money...

Mei smiled softly.

Mei accepted the award and left the stage, but the conversation between the two caused a commotion among the audience.

"Hey... didn't King Yi just say... that he wanted to have a 6v6 battle with her?"

"Yeah, who was that girl...?"

"Does anyone know her information?"

In the circle of trainers, it is not easy to be challenged and favored by a superstar. It basically means affirming a person's talent as a trainer, and this talent must be strong enough.

"Go, quickly investigate the identity of that girl..."

"Yes."

Some interested parties also secretly took note of this point. If they could provide help to some trainers before they grow up, they would usually be able to gain greater benefits after they grow up, such as sponsors of some props and merchandise. If they could invest in a champion or a superstar, or even a local gym owner, it would be a sure-win business.

However, after a little investigation, they were still surprised to find that the girl had not obtained a single gym badge.

How can a fledgling novice trainer be favored by a superstar?

Could it be that he is a relative that the king himself knows?

Listening to the discussions around them, some trainers who had participated in the cleanup couldn't help but reveal strange expressions.

Newcomer?

New hands?

A trainer who can command Serpentis, which is stronger than the gym leader's Pokémon, is actually a newbie?

Besides... she seems to be only in her teens. Even when Yi Ruoyun was young, it shouldn't be so exaggerated...

No wonder King Yi is so optimistic about it. With such talent, who knows where this monster came from.

Unlike Mei who attracted attention, Lillie's performance was normal. The reward she received was a wet rock, which is an item that can prolong the rain.

"...Thank you...Thank you, Sister Yi."

According to Yi Ruoyun, this thing was specially selected by her for Lillie, but after Lillie carefully took the prop, her heart was filled with tears and she couldn't say a word.

Although Xuwuide looks like a jellyfish, she is really not a water type!

——————————————————————————————————————

The celebration party is over, some are happy and some are sad.

The basin of fruit that Qiao Ran was holding had been mostly eaten. Although the peach fruit had the effect of detoxification, it also tasted soft and sweet and was rich in juice. Not only did Pokémon like to eat it, but Qiao Ran himself couldn't help but take a few bites.

"...Jiang Yuanhao, I will remember this grudge."

Qiao Ran left the venue with the empty fruit bowl. Next, he and Eve had another game to play.

In order not to attract too much attention, he deliberately separated from Lillie and the others when going to the bathroom. At least, if he stayed with them all the time, Qiao Ran always had a premonition that someone would rush out on the road and hit him with a club.

Besides, when Vulpix is ​​going to participate in the competition, he cannot survive in human form.

As for the other girls, Qiao Ran told them that if they wanted to go, they could just watch from the sidelines. If they didn't want to go, they could just walk around nearby.

Qiao Ran still has to participate in this competition.

Just think of it as a warm-up before challenging the gym tomorrow.

"Speaking of which...if the lil'lips were humanoid, what would they look like?"

Qiao Ran touched his chin.

"She's in human form now, right?"

Chapter 302 298 [vs Lip-stirring Baby]

The battle with Eve was scheduled at a nearby training ground.

As one of the largest cities in southern China, Hangzhou has no shortage of Pokémon training grounds. Even after the crisis, the city recovered quickly.

"...I'm the referee, so don't worry."

Tieji stood in the center of the arena carrying a shovel. I have to say, when she said this, it really gave people a soothing feeling.

The gist of it is that if anything unexpected happens, she'll just go out there and tear the Pokémon apart with her bare hands.

"The format is 1v1. Whoever knocks the other down first wins. Is that okay?"

Tie Ji looked at the contestants from both sides. Both sides had trainers that she was very optimistic about. She knew Eve's strength, and now she was more looking forward to seeing how much Qiao Ran had grown.

And it seems... he won't take out Pokémon that he has never seen before?

Due to the relationship with the elders in her family, Tie Ji had also communicated with the king by the Zhenze Lake, and also heard the evaluation of Qiao Ran from the legendary figure.

"Maybe you'll surpass me in the future."

If these words were spoken by a boy in shorts, they probably wouldn't have any effect. However, when these words were spoken by a legendary superstar, the weight they carried was completely different.

It’s different from Yi Ruoyun’s level.

Tie Ji narrowed her eyes and looked at Qiao Ran. Perhaps she was more concerned about this battle than the opponent on the other side.

"Let me show you how I've changed!"

The blonde girl threw the Poké Ball in her hand, and a petite Pokémon with blonde hair and purple skin appeared in the venue.

"mi~"

Although its appearance after evolution is a bit strange, the young form of Mimikyu is indeed a very cute and sweet Pokémon, especially the one that Eve has been raising. Whether it is its appearance, body shape, or the golden hair on its head, it shines with a moving brilliance.

Just looking at it makes the corners of your mouth unconsciously rise.

"It's been well cultivated."

Qiao Ran nodded and looked at Vulpix lying on his shoulder.

My Vulpix looks pretty good too.

Anyway, it is definitely much cuter than the lipped baby across from him.

Vulpix leaped up and jumped into the arena.

"Ouch!"

As soon as she saw her opponent, she glared at him and tried to scare him to death.

However, this inexplicable action, which seemed to be cute, did not seem to have any effect. The kid opposite glared back at him.

"Vulpix versus Mimilips?"

As the referee, Tieji looked at the Pokémon of both sides and had an idea in her mind. She knew that Eve's Mikropod had always been carrying the Immutable Stone to keep it from evolving. So although it still looked like a Mikropod, Eve's Mikropod was already stronger than most of the Mikropods.

As for Vulpix...is she being suppressed intentionally? Or is she not strong enough to be forced to evolve?

"Both sides are ready—the battle begins!!"

As Tieji's voice fell, the Pokémon on both sides began to move.

"Lip-chan, Freeze--!"

Eve's voice rang out in an instant, and the little baby followed her command, condensing a blue light in his mouth.

However, just as it was about to take shape, the ball of light suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"what?!"

Eve was surprised. She looked towards where Vulpix was. In this situation... it could only be that the other party had done something.

"It's a seal."

It’s a seal, I added the seal.

Qiao Ran smiled mysteriously. He had long guessed what tactics Eve might use. In fact, in the last battle, Eve's skills of "freezing light to spread ice and telekinesis surfing" really left a deep impression on him.

In order to create an environment similar to last time, she will most likely use this skill at the beginning.

Therefore, Qiao Ran directly pre-read the move at the beginning, reducing the possibility of his opponent using this technique to 0.

"The effect of the seal is that the opponent cannot use moves that match our skills."

Qiao Ran's mouth curled up slightly: "So, your freezing ray is no longer effective."

"It's our turn now, Vulpix, use Hail!"

"Ouch!"

The icy energy gradually spread from Vulpix's body, and a strong cold current enveloped the entire training ground, and drifting snowflakes also fell on the ground.

In the falling snow, Vulpix's figure began to blur, as if it had merged into the scene as pure white as a whole.

"Tsk...Lip-chan, switch your method and use your mental strength!"

After being hit by the sealing skill, most of the ice skills of the bastard will become unusable, but Eve quickly adjusted to it. The bastard's other attribute can also be used for attack, and it may even be more direct than the ice attribute.

Moreover, using ice-type skills in an ice-type civil war will not solve the problem, but psychic-type skills can.

Blue-purple telekinetic waves spread out from the body of the little angel and rushed directly towards the other Vulpix.
