Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Lillie, who was standing by, was completely confused. Why did she have no idea what these two people were talking about?

Is this an encrypted call somewhere?

Mei described it: "Nazi is that... that movie about the Magic Kingdom. Have you seen it?"

"Hmm...?" Lillie nodded.

"She's the magic queen inside."

"What? Is she the magic queen in there?!"

Lillie was also shocked. She originally thought that Mei and Qiao Ran were discussing an old acquaintance she didn't know, but now it seemed that he was much more powerful than she had imagined.

Only Qiao Ran, who was standing next to them, rolled his eyes silently.

Do you only know the role played by an actor, but not who the actor is?

However, Lillie's performance was much more realistic than Mei's, who didn't recognize anyone at all. According to Mei's introduction, she had actually met Nancy several times in the Pokémon world.

"...I first met Nancy when I had just become a Trainer. By then, she was already an experienced Gym Leader and a renowned actress in the Pokémon world. I happened to be passing by Pokémon Hollywood at the time, ready to try my hand at filming a movie."

"At that time, there happened to be several dramas that needed minor roles. I was a little hesitant and couldn't make up my mind. It was Miss Nazi who helped me make the choice."

Mei recounted some of her past events. Although her current strength was even stronger than most gym leaders, she still laughed like a novice trainer when she talked about her past.

"Sometimes I even think...if one day I get tired of being a champion, maybe I'll try my hand at filming?"

"But... maybe there's no chance to go back?"

"Mei." Lillie held her hand, signaling her not to say any more. Sometimes, the more memories you recall, the more likely they are to cause harm.

"It's okay. Our life is pretty good now."

Mei shook her head. It had been so long since the incident happened, and she had long since accepted the current situation. Besides, instead of indulging in the sadness of the past, there were obviously other things that needed to be dealt with.

"Did Nazzi... say anything else? Like why she appeared here?"

"This one……"

Facing Mei's question, Qiao Ran scratched his cheek awkwardly. He also wanted to ask a question in this regard, but was immediately retorted by Nazhi with "Don't ask, I'm in a hurry to participate in the competition."

She also added: "I don't believe you. If you have anything to say, let Mei tell me."

It was obvious that after experiencing the series of events just now, this guy definitely held a grudge against me.

"She said she would tell us later. Let's go find her after her performance."

Qiao Ran sighed. They said that the first impression was very important, but for him, it was no longer a first impression. It was probably like enemies meeting each other.

Although it was Nancy who took the initiative to trick him this time, why did the subsequent development make it seem like he was the bad guy?

"By the way, Mei, I want to ask you a question. Nancy... doesn't she have any connection with Team Rocket, right?"

Qiao Ran suddenly looked at Meiyi and asked about something he cared about.

"Hmm? Team Rocket?"

Meiyi glanced at Qiao Ran thoughtfully, then shook her head slightly.

"...That should be a criminal organization in the Kanto region, right? I heard they were destroyed years ago. As for Nancy, she never had anything to do with Team Rocket."

"Never? Never joined?"

"No, at least that's what I understand."

"Um……"

After hearing Mei's answer, Qiao Ran nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved.

Fortunately, it seems that this Nancy is slightly different from the one in the comics.

Chapter 335 [Nazi]

Naz's performance did not last too long, and such an intense performance did not require her to use her full strength, but this spontaneous performance was enough to open the eyes of the audience around her.

Nancy's Pokémon looks completely different from those of performers who specialize in performances. The audience may not be able to tell the difference, but that innate temperament and sense of oppression are forged through countless battles.

Watching her performance is a very special enjoyment in itself.

"Full marks."

"...I can only get full marks."

"Since it's Miss Nazi, then if I give it full marks, others won't have any objections, right? Hahaha."

The judges gave Naz's performance full marks without hesitation, and they came to their conclusion without even comparing her with other contestants.

The audience also gave a deafening applause. It was obvious that they had come to the same conclusion as the judges.

"The top three contestants in each audition will advance directly to the finals, and the remaining contestants will be eliminated and three selected. Given Miss Nazi's level, she should be a sure thing, right?"

"

Isn't this a sure thing? With Miss Naz's caliber, she would have been invited to the finals long ago. Why would she even need to participate in any competition?

"...Hush, you guys don't know this, don't you? Miss Nazi has very little experience in competitions. Maybe she's just here to gain experience. Besides, I heard that the exhibition match she participated in last week was her first time competing... Since she was a newcomer, she offended a lot of people."

"I understand, I understand. It must be that Miss Nazi is jealous."

The audience in the audience was talking about it, but there was no doubt that they all stood on Naz's side. Although Naz's behavior in participating in a competition of this level was indeed very contrasting, compared with the opponent's immature resume and experience, it actually revealed a hint of rationality.

The most important thing is that the more they watch this kind of game, the more money they make.

Not a loss.

Realizing that Nancy's performance was over, Mei also looked at Qiao Ran.

"Should we go find her now? Or should we..."

"Need not."

Qiao Ran stopped her from getting up and pushed her back onto the chair in the dressing room.

Ever since she learned about Nancy's identity, Mei has become anxious and impetuous, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Qiao Ran could also understand her feelings. After all, it was not easy to meet someone she had met in her hometown, but now they obviously had things to deal with.

Eat one bite at a time and do one thing at a time.

"We still have performances to perform... Even though it's just the preliminary round, we're still newbies after all, so it's definitely a good idea to gain some experience."

"I've already sent Latias over to Nancy's place. We'll go find them after we're done here."

Latias was waiting outside, so asking her to contact Nancy was indeed a more appropriate choice. Besides, Qiao Ran also hoped that Latias could help explain and ease the relationship between him and Nancy.

"Anyway, don't think too much about it for now and just prepare for the competition."

Qiao Ran himself was not very worried about this preliminaries. After all, he had participated in a competition before. Moreover, he had already decided on the candidate this time. It was not Diancie or Suicune, but Vulpix who had always been with him.

With the teachings of Lusamine during this period and the experience learned from Eve in the previous battles, Qiao Ran was not afraid at all.

Vulpix, that was his first Pokémon in the true sense.

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

"So, you call that guy, 'Master'?"

In the coffee shop, a woman wearing a wig and sunglasses, whose face could not be seen clearly, supported her cheek with her hand and looked across at herself.

"...This is the first time I've seen someone wear such outrageous clothes outside."

Opposite her sat a red-haired woman in a black and white maid outfit. Facing the other party's slightly sarcastic words, the maid just smiled slightly.

"Although it's just a name, it's what we've always insisted on. As for this dress, perhaps it's just my personal interest."

"……snort."

The woman, whose face was hidden, snorted softly, seemingly dissatisfied with the other party's answer.

She originally thought that a being with such powerful superpowers would at least have a social status and achievements that matched hers, but now it seems that he is nothing more than a vassal and a puppet.

Thinking of this, the man's image became even more hateful.

but……

Thinking of what the man had said to her before, she had to contact these people again, especially since Mei was there too. The more people from the Pokémon world there were, the better it would be for her.

"Is your hometown a place called Golden City?"

When she heard this sentence for the first time, she was indeed surprised. Since coming to this world, it was the first time she heard this place name from someone else's mouth, and from the other person's appearance, he seemed to really know her.

So...why didn't you recognize me when we first met?

Could it be that her appearance has changed a lot?

"There's no time. We'll talk later when we have a chance."

The previous Naz left there directly with an excuse.

As she said, the performance was about to begin, so even though some misunderstandings were resolved, there was still not much discussion between the two.

Moreover, because of the threats she had received before, Nancy didn't really want to stay in that place anymore.

Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, this is the fact.

——That man and the girl sitting in front of her are very tricky.

Putting aside the existence of Diancie, the abilities of these two people alone were enough to make her wary. One was a person with super powers who was suspected to be able to fight her on equal terms or even suppress her, and that man... Even now, Nancy didn't understand what method he used to cut through and block her mental power.

Even with Pokémon, Nancy had never seen anything like this.

"..."

Could it be that this is some kind of skill that only exists in this world?

In the Heart of Nancy

Full of questions.

Finally, after a long wait, the figure that Nazi was waiting for finally appeared at the door of the coffee shop.

Next, it’s time to discuss business.

Chapter 336 [Conversation]

"Na..."

"Shh, don't shout names here."

Hearing Mei's voice, Nancy quickly spoke up and told her not to call her name, otherwise they would have no chance of having the next conversation.

As a person who is well-known both in the Pokémon world and in this world, Nancy is actually quite cautious in her daily words and deeds. If Mei really shouts her name, half of the people in the coffee shop will probably come over.

"Ah...sorry."

"But...it's really true!"

Mei immediately apologized, but even though she was suddenly interrupted, her mood remained the same as before. She looked at the woman in front of her who was wrapped in sunglasses and a wig with an excited expression.

This voice... this feeling... it's definitely Nazhi!

"Let me introduce you. This is Lillie, a trainer from the Alola region..."

Mei took the initiative and enthusiastically introduced the people around Nancy. Lillie also took this opportunity to say hello to them. However, Nancy just responded with a cold "hmm".

"This is Joe..."

"No need for this."

Mei's words were interrupted again. Nancy waved her hand and directly interrupted Mei's introduction to Qiao Ran.

"Yes... have you two met before? Hahaha."

It seemed that she did not expect that Nancy would react like this. Mei scratched her head a little at a loss. Her eyes kept searching for Qiao Ran and Nancy's faces. What on earth happened between these two people before?

This doesn't look like they just had a conversation before?

“How was the performance?”

Nancy looked at Mei and started chatting with her, while Qiao Ran who was standing beside her was completely ignored by her.

Good guy, strategic disregard.

Qiao Ran resisted the urge to complain about the other party. What they needed now was more understanding.

"It's different from a fight, a little bit special, but it's okay. The chemistry between me and Monarch Snake is really amazing."

Mei's average score in the preliminaries was 8 points, which is considered to be among the top scores. If nothing unexpected happens, she will basically be able to enter the next round and qualify for the finals.
