Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Qiao Ran knew Diancie's situation. It would be difficult for her to change her fear of water in the short term. Although "ordinary water" was not "skill water" and would not cause harm to her, the idea that water was dangerous had always been engraved in her mind.

"If we have a chance, we can slowly get used to it in the bathroom first."

"Hmm...I think this is better." Diancie nodded seriously.

Soon, it was night time.

After Qiao Ran finished washing up, he helped Dianxi overcome his fear and took a shower. Everything was ready. Just when he was about to go to bed, he heard a noisy sound coming from the door.

——Yes, a strange sound seemed to be coming from the originally quiet cabin.

"You little rat, where on earth did you come from...!"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Qiao Ran didn't know what was happening outside, but not long after, someone knocked on his door.

"Open the door, open the door, save me, I know you are in there!"

A strange girl's voice came from the door. Qiao Ran looked at Vulpix and Diancie beside him. They seemed to have no idea who the voice represented.

"who are you?"

Qiao Ran asked cautiously.

"Let me in and you'll know who I am! Aren't you the champion of the competition? You must know me!"

The girl's voice became more and more anxious, and she began to bang on the door with her hands.

"Hurry up, or do you want me to be arrested?"

"..."

Qiao Ran seemed to sense her eagerness. After a second of thought, he finally opened the door. She knew he was the champion... maybe she really did know him.

Strictly speaking, not many people know that Qiao Ran became the champion. Although a lot of video footage of yesterday's game was leaked and received a lot of clicks online, most of them were blurry. Even if there were clearer ones, the focus was all on Diancie. As a trainer, he was just a mosaic. Even people who knew Qiao Ran might not recognize that the mosaic was him.

After Qiao Ran opened the door, the girl at the door quickly slipped into the room like an agile cat, and with a backhand, she closed the door completely.

"Phew—I'm so tired, but I'm finally safe."

After doing all this, she leaned against the wall, her chest heaving and breathing slightly. Qiao Ran took a closer look and found that the girl in front of him did look familiar.

Long black hair, looks to be in her twenties, somewhat ordinary appearance...

"You are……"

"I'm that one, um... I think you'll understand after seeing this."

The girl looked at Qiao Ran, and Qiao Ran was surprised to find that her pupils were pure sky blue.

As the girl spoke, she reached into her pocket and took out a Poké Ball. In the light, a Pokémon appeared in the room.

"Memmi lip-syncing——"

The lipped baby tilted its head and looked at its mistress, seemingly not knowing what was going on. Qiao Ran looked at the lipped baby and suddenly remembered

Something.

"Ah...you're from that competition..."

Qiao Ran remembered that he had observed this little kid with lips for quite some time, and this little kid with lips had even made it to the finals.

"Yes, yes, I'm also a contestant, but I'm in a little trouble now. I might need your help."

The girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice. After she finished speaking, in front of Qiao Ran's surprised eyes, she reached out to her hair and pulled out her long black hair.

"..." Qiao Ran opened his mouth wide. This... hair can actually be disassembled???

Qiao Ran quickly realized that it wasn't the hair that was being pulled off, but rather the wig. After the black wig disappeared, a head of long, slender golden hair began to spread out from the girl's head, emitting a slight sheen, and it was obvious that she was well-maintained.

Not only that, she also took out a bottle of water from the backpack on her back and rubbed it on her face. After a while, her ordinary face, which originally looked to be in her twenties, turned into someone who looked about the same age as Qiao Ran. Moreover, her appearance looked many times more refined than before, and her fair face even had some foreign shadows.

She looks quite cute and pretty.

“Phew—this makes things much easier. Those guys definitely won’t be able to find me! Hehehe.”

The girl took out a mirror and looked at herself, a smug smile showing on her face, however, she soon discovered that Qiao Ran beside her was looking at her with his mouth wide open, with an expression of great surprise.

"You...you are..."

Qiao Ran swore that this was the first time someone performed a head-changing magic trick in front of him. It was like a completely different person!

What about that ordinary girl with black hair? What about that ordinary girl with black hair?

"Hmm...? Is there something strange?"

The blonde girl stretched out a finger and shook it gently in front of Qiao Ran.

"Makeup and the like are magic exclusive to girls."

"Boom boom boom——"

At this moment, Qiao Ran's door rang again...

The two people behind the door were startled.

Chapter 35035【Who is in the photo?】

"Emergency inspection! A dangerous person has just sneaked onto the ship without being checked. Have you seen that person?"

Qiao Ran opened the door, and the people who appeared at the door were several crew members with flashlights and big hair.

"That was a girl with long black hair, she looked to be in her twenties..."

"Sorry, I didn't see it. I was in the room with my two sisters the whole time. We were ready to rest..."

Qiao Ran shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing. Since he was prepared to provide cover, he would of course provide cover to the end.

The crew member stuck his head in to take a few looks, and sure enough, he only saw Diancie and Vulpix lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt. After silently complaining in his heart about how this guy had such a beautiful sister, he just walked out.

"Sorry to disturb your rest. If there is any unexpected situation, you can call our number directly. If that dangerous person attempts to cause damage, it will be troublesome."

"I understand."

Qiao Ran nodded, then closed the door and prepared to see the guest off.

After doing all this, he walked to the wardrobe next to him and opened the door.

“Huh—ah—I almost suffocated to death.”

The blonde girl pinched her nose and curled up in the closet with an uncomfortable expression.

"So, who are you exactly? The crew said you stowed away. Why did you do this?"

Qiao Ran stared at the girl in front of him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. Diancie and Vulpix were also keeping an eye on this side. If the other party made any suspicious moves, they would definitely make them pay.

As long as they are there, they will never let anyone else hurt Qiao Ran in the slightest.

"You can call me Eve... As for why I stowed away? It's because of you!"

The girl who called herself Eve stared at Qiao Ran with a pair of resentful eyes and crawled out of the closet.

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have won the championship of that competition and I would have had the money to take the boat. It wouldn't be like this now, even having to sneak into the warehouse to sneak across... Those boxes of vegetables are really disgusting."

Qiao Ran: “…”

This guy... is even more ruthless than him. He plans to use this competition to make money for boat tickets?

"Why did you come here if you have no money? This ship is not cheap..."

"Because you are here, and I heard there will be a competition on this ship later... It would be even better if I could participate." Eve giggled.

However, Qiao Ran was still a little confused.

"You really don't have any money? You look about my age. If you qualify as an adventurer, the alliance will provide subsidies, and you'll get discounts on train, boat, and plane tickets."

"I'm just in the second grade, how could there be such a thing?"

Eve rolled her eyes at Qiao Ran, then took out a crumpled piece of bread from her backpack and started chewing on it like a hamster.

"Chu Er... why did you run out? Don't move, I'm going to call the police."

The corner of Qiao Ran's mouth twitched slightly.

"No! I don't want to go back to that kind of school. If I keep staying there... I... I don't want to live that kind of life... I want to travel and become a great performer!... Since you can perform like that, you must be a kind person and will take me in until this ship docks, right?"

Eve stood up suddenly, and it was obvious that she was really excited.

"No, even if you say that, I still have to call the police. Seriously... running around in a place like this in the middle of the night, what if I get caught by bad guys?"

Qiao Ran took out his Rotom phone. Faced with such a matter of principle, he had to tell the police. Otherwise, if the crew found out, he might be charged with the juvenile crime of abducting a minor.

"Don't...don't hit!"

Eve's eyes rolled around and she put forward a very tempting condition.

"Well...how about this, if you send me to Jinling, I'll transfer a large sum of money to you as a reward."

"You must be lying, right? You don't have any money now, how can you give me money?"

"I'm not lying to you. My sister is in Jinling. As soon as I get there, I'll definitely be able to pay you a good reward... If you don't believe me, look at this."

Faced with Qiao Ran's questioning, Eve took out her mobile phone and flipped through the photo album.

"See? This is my sister. She has her own company in Jinling. If I find her, I'll definitely find a way."

Eve said this with great confidence, and flipped through the pictures one by one on her phone.

Qiao Ran leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, there was Eve... and a beautiful blonde girl. The blonde girl looked to be in her twenties. Both of them were smiling happily, and they did look somewhat similar.

There were a lot of their photos in her phone, and Eve couldn't finish looking through them even after a long time.

"You should finally believe it now. I do have relatives in Jinling. It will definitely be okay for you to send me there."

Eve desperately tried to gain Qiao Ran's trust, because she knew that if she wanted to stay here, she would need this man's help. If he refused to help, no matter how hard she tried, it would be useless.

“Even if you took out the photos…”

Qiao Ran frowned. He was still a little conflicted. It was really hard to judge this matter. Should he believe this girl?

While Qiao Ran was still thinking about it, a photo flashed before his eyes. Although he only saw a little bit of it, the familiar figure still made him shudder.

"Wait! Go back and show me that photo!"

"Photos? ...Ah...Okay."

Eve couldn't understand why Qiao Ran suddenly got so excited, but she still turned the photo back.

It was a photo of three people: Eve, her sister, and a girl with long brown hair. The three of them seemed to be taking a photo together on the playground.

"Are you talking about her? She's the latest employee hired by my sister's company. She came to see me at school with my sister half a month ago... I heard she's a very powerful trainer."

Eve took the initiative to introduce them, but as Qiao Ran looked at the figure in the photo, his breathing became more and more rapid.

“This person… is…”

Even Qiao Ran's voice was trembling.

He really didn't expect to see this person in a photo he accidentally found.

"Okay... I'll take this mission... This time I'll take you to Jinling... Yes, I'll take you there..."

"Eh? You're planning on taking me there??? Yeah! That's great!"

Although she didn't know why Qiao Ran suddenly changed his mind, Eve still happily made a scissors hand gesture.

As for Qiao Ran, he stared at the brown-haired girl in the photo, not moving away for a moment.

—That meatball-like hairstyle on both sides of her hair, her breasts that seem to be about to burst out, and her iconic miniskirt with black tights...

This guy……

Isn't she one of the heroines of the Pokémon world - Mei (Minaru)! !

How could this guy appear here? ! ! !

Chapter 36036【Do you want to participate?】

Mei, or Mingyi.

She is a girl from the Pokémon world, from Hinoki City in the Unova region, and is a character that Qiao Ran is quite familiar with.

She has a cheerful and sunny personality and is quite talented in expressing herself, often making cute expressions that make people laugh and cry.

As for how familiar was Qiao Ran with her? It was probably as familiar as having once played her in a game. Especially with that iconic hairstyle and figure; once you saw her, you could never forget her.

Qiao Ran has experienced many games and has used many heroines from the Pokémon world in the games, but none of these heroines are as "outstanding" as Mei. The most terrifying thing is that this guy is only in his early teens.
