Chapter 367 [Night]

Phoebe's correspondence didn't last long, although she said she called because the Alliance contacted her.

But in fact, it was she herself who

She is quite interested in this special power. Otherwise, it would be useless for the alliance to contact her. Just like the last time Hangzhou was besieged, this guy probably won't have any plans to move no matter how far he goes.

However, as the discussion deepened, Phoebe gradually lost interest, especially after Qiao Ran and Nancy both denied the connection between this power and the "Pokémon that controls time", her interest quickly faded.

Her ambition was not in the so-called "strength", so it was understandable that she was not interested in things related to improving her strength. After all, if it came down to strength alone, there were few people in the world who could compete with her.

All she pursued was "that".

"...You should also pay more attention. More people in the alliance are watching you. If you have any questions, please contact me. Do you understand?"

Before hanging up the phone, she also gave Qiao Ran some "earnest" advice. After all, no matter from which perspective, she didn't want any problems to arise on Qiao Ran's side. With her deterrent power, it was enough to solve most of the troubles.

Not many people would be so blind as to stare at someone she had marked.

"Ok, I know."

Qiao Ran nodded and kept all of this in mind. However, looking at Phoebe's cute little face, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Although this is most likely an old monster, but...

"...After a while, can you do me a small favor?"

"What?" Phoebe looked at Qiao Ran in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling.

"Let me make it clear first, I'm very busy. It's impossible for me to go out."

Phoebe's personality is just like the ghost Pokémon she raises in her house. It's not that the haunted house chooses the ghosts, but that the ghosts choose the haunted house. Once they move in, they will never be able to move again for the rest of their lives.

Unless the nest explodes.

"Don't worry, it only takes a little time of yours, and you can do it in your room."

Phoebe: “……?”

The white-haired loli blinked, becoming increasingly unable to understand Qiao Ran's words.

But...if it can be done in the room...it shouldn't be too much of a hassle, right?

Finally, she nodded.

"...Anyway, just don't waste too much of my time. If you want to do anything, I'll ask the little brats from the alliance to help you."

Now, she still didn't know what Qiao Ran wanted to say, but judging from the convenience, it should be just a piece of cake.

There's no harm in agreeing to it.

"Don't worry, it won't take much time."

Qiao Ran added that he didn't want to let this big fish go.

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

At night, Qiao Ran also called his mother and told her about recent developments, especially some things that happened at his cousin's house.

However, what his mother said next almost made him spit out water again.

"...I also heard from your aunt that those two foreign girls are very good... You should cheer me on too."

"Mom, I've already told you, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing."

Qiao Ran looked at Liliae and the others carefully, and after finding that they had no reaction, he continued to talk to his mother.

As for Lillie and Mei, they seemed to be addicted to browsing on their phones, constantly checking the comments and comments of the video on the video website. Qiao Ran was very skeptical about how many of the hundreds of thousands of views were contributed by them.

After a while, Nazi, who had finished meditating in the room, found Qiao Ran.

"I'm going to the gym tomorrow morning, how about you?"

Because of a call from the League, Nancy had to return to the gym early. Elite trainers have always had extremely free time. Unlike ordinary gym trainers who have to participate in the management and teaching of the gym, elite trainers are generally only summoned when needed, such as to deal with powerful challengers, higher-level gym teaching activities, public performances in the gym, and now.

"I'll go with you tomorrow. It's a good time to challenge the Magic City Gym. Lillie and the others should be there too."

Qiao Ran also planned to take this opportunity to challenge the gym. After all, Nian Hongyu had come to invite him specially during the day. If he continued to drag it out... who knew if something strange would happen in the middle.

"It's okay to go together..."

Nazi did not raise any objection, but put a key in Qiao Ran's hand.

"This is your room tonight. Don't do anything weird again, or I'll make you sleep in the bathroom next time."

After leaving behind a harsh remark, Nazhi disappeared in front of Qiao Ran.

"Sleeping in the toilet... eh."

Qiao Ran shuddered. He wasn't so stingy that he could fall asleep in a place like that. But it looked like... Nancy, Lillie, and the others would sleep together again tonight, right?

So, how about taking the opportunity to go to the frontier and get some sleep?

"..."

Diancie performed very well in the battle today, so let's go find her.

Qiao Ran smiled gently, and his mood obviously improved a lot when he thought of Diancie.

--------

--------------------------

The next day, the group got ready and prepared to go to the gym.

Although Qiao Ran wanted to contact Nian Hongyu at first, he stopped this suicidal behavior when he saw Nazhi's murderous look.

Finally, several people got into a car that Naz specially called. After "kindly" asking the driver to get off, Naz sat in the driver's seat herself.

"Can you still drive?"

Qiao Ran was a little surprised. Did she also learn it in Hawaii?

"...Isn't it enough to have hands?" Nazhi lowered her head slightly, revealing her pupils behind the sunglasses, and gave Qiao Ran a light look.

"Well, actually, when I was filming a movie before, the role I played had this requirement, so I learned a little bit."

Although she personally believes that she is indeed very talented, in some aspects, diligence is also a very necessary condition. Just like if you want to be a good actor, you must have some knowledge in all aspects.

"Isn't it better to take my car than to contact that little girl?"

Chapter 368 [Old Man]

The Magic City Gym is not too far from the Trainer Community. Even if you walk, it will take about half an hour to get there. However, since you have a car, you can save a lot of energy. Although you will have to stop at a few traffic lights on the way, the time taken is actually not much different from walking.

From a distance, the Magic City Gym looks like a stadium similar to those in other cities, without any exaggerated or difficult-to-understand architectural style. There are also many busy shops nearby, such as training institutions and Pokémon breeding houses. These places can accommodate students who cannot afford the gym tuition or whose gyms are full and cannot register. These institutions often use the names of several former gym trainers and play videos of the founders' battles at the door every day.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also many normal commercial streets and shopping centers. After all, in addition to training students, the dojo also holds competitions every once in a while, and these competitions can also bring in considerable income.

Nancy drove the car into the basement with ease, and then handed the car to other gym staff. She herself took Qiao Ran and the others into the gym. As one of the few elite trainers, basically no one bothered her along the way. Moreover, with Nancy's appearance and figure, she was the kind that you would never forget after just one look.

"It's still a bit of a way to go, just follow me. There's nothing much to say about the situation inside, it's just an ordinary gym."

Nancy led the way in front. The interior of the gym was indeed quite winding, and it took them a while before they finally stopped in front of a gate.

There were no other outsiders in this area, only some internal staff passed by occasionally. Nazi put her hand on the door and knocked. After getting permission, she led Qiao Ran and others into the room.

"..."

Inside the gate is a room decorated in a very retro style. It looks more like a teahouse than an office. An old man is sitting on a bench, drinking freshly brewed tea.

"Nazi, and these guys, you guys came quite early."

The old man had a long beard on his face, but unlike most people's, his beard fluttered gently in the air, slightly curved in a very small arc, as if controlled by some invisible force.

"Didn't Hongyu come with you? I clearly asked her to go..."

"Maybe he forgot because he slept in?" Nazhi answered without hesitation, and did not forget to tease Nian Hongyu.

"Oh." The old man smiled and sighed. Looking at Nazhi like this, how could he not know what this child was thinking.

Nian Hongyu and Nazhi have been at odds for a while now, but now is a critical juncture in the succession of the museum owner, so it is normal for them to have such a competitive spirit.

However, it is not good to continue like this. If possible, he still hopes that the two of them can become good friends.

"And these people here..."

"They are the challengers who challenged the gym, and this one over here is the trainer I fought that day."

Nazi briefly introduced the names of Qiao Ran and others

The old man's kind eyes swept over the faces of Qiao Ran and others, and finally stopped at Qiao Ran's face.

"You must be the young man who fought against Nancy back then."

"I've seen that battle, too. It was truly an exciting one. The destructive power and fighting spirit they displayed are beyond the reach of even an old skeleton like me."

The old man stood up from the bench with a smile, hunched over, and stood in front of Qiao Ran.

"You young people are really too strong."

The old man said half-jokingly that at his age, it was a happy thing to see outstanding juniors. Whether it was Nazi, his granddaughter, or the boy in front of him, he was very optimistic about their future.

The reason why China's Pokémon League has been able to remain so powerful is because of these outstanding successors.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Nian Hai, the owner of the Magic City Gym."

"Although I may have to retire soon, at least for now, I am still the master of this gym."

"If you have time, could you tell me what kind of power you used back then?"

Old man Nian Hai invited Qiao Ran and others to sit down in the room. He smiled and used his telekinesis to fill the teapot for Qiao Ran and others.

Not a drop of tea in the cup spilled out, and not a drop splashed outside. Qiao Ran was a little surprised by this level of control. Perhaps this was the result of training day and night.

Sitting in the room, Qiao Ran and Nazhi repeated to the old man what they had said to Phoebe yesterday. However, they did not mention anything about the other world, but regarded all this as their own personal discovery.

"You're saying... using this stone, and the stones Pokémon wear, you can make Pokémon evolve during battle?"

Listening to Nancy and Qiao Ran's stories, old man Nian Hai was also amazed. After living for so many years, this was the first time he heard such a statement. However, in this world, new Pokémon were discovered every year, every month, and every day. Since the year he was born, countless new Pokémon species had been added. The emergence of new ways of evolution was not something difficult to accept.
