Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

The power of this skill is strong enough, and Qiao Ran immediately prepared to deal with it.

"Don't panic! Aurora Curtain!"

"Ouch!"

A brilliant curtain of light unfolded in front of Vulpix and surrounded its side.

This light curtain directly reduced the opponent's mental power by half, and even if the remaining power hit Vulpix, it would hardly cause much damage.

Aurora Curtain - A skill that can only be used in hail weather. This skill can last for a certain number of rounds and reduce all object and special damage received by half. It is a very powerful damage reduction skill.

It was this skill that allowed Vulpix to absorb the opponent's mental attack without having any significant reaction.

"...What a steady style of play."

Looking at this scene, not only Eve on the opposite side was stunned, but even the Steel Gym Leader Tie Ji couldn't help but shiver.

Up to this point, not only had he not used a single attack skill, but he had actually sealed his opponent first, followed by hail and aurora curtain, and coupled with Vulpix's own snow-hiding ability, this was too...

Tieji glanced at the cute appearance of Vulpix, but the fight was not cute at all.

If there were another strange light...

"Vulpix, strange light!"

Qiao Ran shouted the order instantly, and a dizzying yellow light floated out from Liuwei's body and headed towards the face of Michunwa.

Tieji was stunned.

My goodness, are we going to slowly wear down the opponent?

Stop it, this is not a Pokémon battle! ! ! !

Chapter 303 299 [Straight Ball]

“…Why! Why is this happening?!”

On the icy field, Eve knelt on her knees, supporting herself on the ground with her hands, her face full of disbelief.

“I… just lost like that???”

Aren't Pokémon battles supposed to be fun?

She didn't even know what happened exactly. She just watched as Mimikyuu was given a bunch of debuffs, and then was sprayed with freezing rays by Vulpix, who was hiding in the snow and running with Aurora.

The most hateful thing is that when this Vulpix used the freezing ray, the ice energy of the entire venue was gathered. Just a ray of light caused thick ice to form on a large area of ​​the ground. The power of this ray surprised Tieji, the referee.

You are so strong, why can't you fight me head-on?

It’s so abominable to kill people and destroy their hearts!

"cough."

Qiao Ran glanced at Liuwei who seemed to be still enjoying his victory, and could only look away awkwardly. In fact, he didn't have much of a choice, because Liuwei was just as steady as he was.

However, Qiao Ran can understand why Liuwei chose to do so.

Because she has been fighting with some amazing teammates, Liuwei has always had deep doubts about her own strength. This has led to her feeling that even in such a battle, she should be fully prepared before attacking.

Want to fight without buffs? Want to win without abnormalities?

I'm so weak, so shouldn't there be more of them?

A powerful mind? If it doesn't explode directly, I can't handle a hundred thousand of them. Only the Aurora Curtain can block it.

In fact, Vulpix has quite a few status skills of this kind. If she wants to develop in this direction, Qiao Ran will not stop her. Besides, Vulpix does not like to evolve, just like Ash's Pikachu. She also has her own reasons for not evolving.

"...Lip-chan, thank you for your hard work."

Eve sighed and took back her Lipstick. She didn't actually hold much hope for this battle. After all, she had already lost once before, and it wouldn't be shameful to lose again this time.

But what she didn't expect was that the gap between her and Qiao Ran seemed to have been getting bigger and bigger without her noticing.

"Don't be complacent! I'll be back again!"

After throwing down a common line used by the defeated side, Eve also left the battlefield with the baby. She had to take the baby to get some treatment.

Moreover, such combat facilities open to the public generally have supporting information teams, so if you want to find a doctor, you only need to walk a few steps.

"That kid is usually training hard." Looking at Eve leaving, Tie Ji walked to Qiao Ran's side, "But it seems that you have made more progress than I thought."

"Have you been traveling and breeding Pokémon all this time?"

"Um……"

Qiao Ran was a little hesitant, but still nodded.

It can be considered as... traveling and cultivating at the same time, right?

However, his journey has already taken him to another world.

As for Liuwei's own progress, Qiao Ran felt that it could not be attributed to him. On the contrary, Qiao Ran always felt that he was

I kind of owe her that.

In order to face possible strong enemies, Qiao Ran will focus more on powerful Pokémon such as Yveltal, Diancie, and Cang Xiang. He usually cannot put too much energy into weaker Pokémon such as Vulpix, Tanabata, Hollow... etc.

It’s not that he doesn’t like Vulpix and the others anymore, but his energy is indeed limited, and he can’t allow himself to feel at ease.

Even now, although the alliance held a "celebration party" and promoted Yi Ruoyun as a hero in front of the public, in the eyes of ordinary people, this matter has been resolved, but in the eyes of those who know the situation, this matter will look completely different.

But in Qiao Ran's eyes, what he saw was completely different.

The crisis is far from over.

"You seem... quite stressed lately?"

Tie Ji looked at Qiao Ran's face. In her memory, the boy was not like this before. Back then in the Jinling Gym, she saw a vigorous young man who challenged the gym, but now... he seemed to be really different.

Tieji couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad, but his face did look a little more mature.

“It’s just that a lot of things happened.”

Qiao Ran let out a breath lightly. He was indeed under a lot of pressure. Every time he arrived in a region, he would always bear different pressures. Qiao Ran did not arrogantly think that he was a savior. He was just doing what he should do.

He has never been one to remain indifferent when seeing others suffering.

Perhaps, it is because of this that he has become what he is now.

Moreover, there is no way to share this pressure with others.

But the good thing is that he still has Pokémon he can communicate with, and Lillie and the others.

"…It will definitely get better."

Qiao Ran muttered something to himself incomprehensibly, and Liuwei, sensing Qiao Ran's mood, poked Qiao Ran's face with his little claws.

"Are you free tonight?"

"Huh?" Tieji's expression suddenly froze, and then she became visibly panicked.

"What...what are you doing? Eve hasn't come back yet. No...no, how are we going to explain it when she comes back?"

I haven't seen you for a while. Not only have you grown older, but you've also become so straightforward in your speech.

"No, I just want to practice some fighting skills."

Qiao Ran scratched his cheek and glanced at the shovel in Tie Ji's hand. Tie Ji had taught him a lot about this when he was in Jinling Gym before. After obtaining Cang Xiang's sword, this skill came in handy.

However, Qiao Ran felt that it was still not enough. As for going outside to learn skills from other fighters, Qiao Ran had thought about it, but compared to learning those things, it would be better to communicate with Tieji, who already has Pokémon bloodline.

"So... this is what you mean?"

Tieji's restless mood suddenly relaxed. She thought that this young man was suddenly going to do something strange.

But why do I feel a little regretful?

"...Come on then, let me see how much you've grown during this time."

Tieji let go of the shovel in her hand, and the heavy weight caused cracks to appear on the ground around her.

Although he had seen it many times before, a drop of sweat still appeared on Qiao Ran's forehead.

Pokémon is truly a world of high-level martial arts.

Chapter 304 300 [The whole one]

“How was today’s revenue?”

At the Pokémon training ground, the store manager was asking about today's business situation.

"...Not bad. Although fewer people are going out due to the previous crisis, the number of people visiting our training ground has actually increased!"

Although this situation was somewhat unexpected, it was understandable. The previous crisis had stimulated many trainers, and they all had a sense of crisis in their hearts. They were all eager to improve their strength. If these trainers wanted to train, they had no choice but to come to their training ground.

Based on this momentum, Hangzhou's training business will continue to be popular in the future.

It seems that we might be able to open a branch in the future.

The store manager touched his chin, already having something in mind, and then he spoke.

"...Is there another venue in use? Um...after this one is used, you guys should clean up and get ready for a break. It's already closed."

"……it is good."

When the employee heard this, he switched the surveillance to the training ground that was in use.

However, when he saw the scene in the training ground clearly, his face froze.

"Forehead???"

He was like this not because of the store manager's legitimate request for overtime, but because the situation at this place was really...

The clerk's face looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Manager, the one using this venue..."

"What's wrong?" The manager frowned.

"There are two humans using this venue!"

Store Manager: “????”

"what?"

Human???

Why humans?

My goodness, this is a real Pokémon training ground!

"Huh-I'm so tired."

After a battle and training with Tie Ji for a while, Qiao Ran worked up a sweat. Having been lying in bed for several days, he felt deeply that his healthy self was back.

However, he always felt that when he left the training ground, the shop assistants looked at him strangely.

Could it be that there is something wrong with me?

It shouldn't be.

"Hey... With my current physique, I can only fight against 30% of Tieji's strength?"

Qiao Ran felt that he was quite weak.

If he hadn't taken out Cang Xiang's sword, Tie Ji could have withstood his attack with just two fingers. However, Qiao Ran hadn't tried to draw out a sword before, as it was difficult to explain to others how to draw a sword out of thin air.

But what Qiao Ran understood was that he could never beat Tie Ji.

Even compared to the super rookie who can hold Cosmoem in his hands, fight Lucario, and fence with Beedrill, Qiao Ran still has a long way to go.

"You should rest early too. I'll take you out to play next time."

Looking at the room full of Pokémon, Qiao Ran asked Rotom to send them all back to the frontier. Mei was still a little reluctant and insisted that she wanted to go camping with them in the frontier.

"Trainers should live in the wild! How about we go camping together today?"

"Don't make trouble, they need to rest too."

Qiao Ran rolled his eyes at her. He himself wanted to go to the frontier and stay with Diancie and the others, but unfortunately he couldn't go.

Moreover, even compared with Pokémon, Mei's energy seems to be inexhaustible. However, looking at her like this, she probably just thinks it's novel that Pokémon can turn into humans. Once the novelty wears off, she probably won't be so excited.

Lilia nodded and echoed Qiao Ran's words: "Yeah, they are pretty tired too. If there is anything else, we can go tomorrow."
