Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

I'm the gym leader and she's the challenger, right?

"You're amazing too, to be the champion at this age..."

There was a hint of sigh and envy on old man Nian Hai's face.

The strength of a champion has always been something that he could never reach, just like the figure he kept chasing when he was young. It looked like the figure was standing in front of him, but the gap between them could not be made up by hard work alone.

He worked hard all his life but never saw the threshold.

The woman in front of him, judging by her appearance, was probably only in her twenties or thirties. To be able to reach such strength at such an age was even more exaggerated than that of Yi Ruoyun. Who was she...

"I can only stand here because I believe in and love my Pokémon."

The woman with long golden hair still did not show any pride after her victory, but simply expressed her thoughts in a normal way.

"You will definitely become stronger in the future."

"hope so."

Old man Nian Hai shook his head and smiled indifferently.

Then he took out a badge and handed it to the other person.

"I don't know why you haven't challenged a gym before, but your strength is worthy of this badge."

"Thank you."

The blonde woman nodded in thanks. Although collecting badges was just a small incidental part of her goal, after this battle, she actually became interested in the alliance and gyms in this world.

Even the gym leader has the strength of a king...

Of course - her purpose of coming here today was not just these. She originally thought that she needed to ask the owner of the museum or other people to collect some clues, but she didn't expect that the people she wanted to find had already gathered here automatically.

"..."

After the fight, the woman with long golden hair walked down from the ring and walked step by step towards where Qiao Ran and the others were.

Everyone's eyes were on her.

"...Do you have time to talk to me?"

She lifted her hair slightly, and although she was asking questions, there was an air of unquestionableness in her words.

"You should know me, right?"

Chapter 399 [Getting to Know Each Other]

know?

The answer to this matter was determined from the very beginning.

Qiao Ran swallowed his saliva and watched the other party approaching little by little. He felt inexplicably nervous.

Even when he first met Mei, Lillie, and Nancy, he had never felt so nervous.

--champion.

This is a term used to describe the strongest small group of people in the Pokémon world.

In each region, there are only a handful of people who have won this title, let alone the active champions of the region.

To maintain the championship position, one must constantly face challengers and defeat them one by one. If any of them fails, the so-called champion will no longer be the champion.

How could he not recognize such a person?

"...Zhulan?"

Nancy tried to call out the other person's name, and soon, she got a response from the other party - the woman with long golden hair nodded slightly and called out her name at the same time.

"Nazi...is that so?"

It wasn't just Nancy who was testing the other party's identity; the other party also seemed to be a little cautious. After all, for them, this was a strange world. Meeting in such a special scene and at such a special time, it was understandable that they were more cautious.

"Yeah." Naz nodded and waved her hand gently, showing her superpowers to the other party.

Even if Ditto imitated her appearance, this special ability could not be imitated.

The two nodded to each other, and then Zhulan looked at the others.

"And this one, should be the trainer in the video?"

Zhulan fixed her gaze on Qiao Ran and looked at him deeply for several times.

A big part of the reason why she came here in such a hurry was because of this boy.

——What kind of person is he who can gain the trust of so many legendary Pokémon?

Legends and allusions have always been the direction of Zhulan's research. In addition to Pokémon battles, she is also a researcher in the Pokémon League.

The Sinnoh region is a region full of ruins and legends, with a rich history. This land is full of unsolved mysteries. Even the attribute space developed by the Aether Foundation uses certain technologies related to the Water Vein Library in the Sinnoh region.

Born in this land, Zhulan was naturally drawn to these things, which was why she continued to explore and research ruins even after becoming a champion. Of course, even after arriving in this world, she was deeply immersed in the atmosphere of exploring ruins.

These things are the key to unlocking some mysteries.

Of course, these thoughts were also influenced by her grandmother. Like Sonia in the Galar region, Zhulan's grandmother, Dr. Mustard Orchid, was also a renowned researcher, highly respected in history and mythology, and director of the Institute of History. However, unlike Sonia, who had already earned a doctorate, Zhulan had yet to receive this certification.

Compared with her talent in combat, her talent in research does not seem to be that exaggerated, but it is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

“It’s really me in the video.”

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhu Lan.

"My name is Qiao Ran, nice to meet you."

"Well, I'm Zhulan."

The people who met introduced their identities to each other. Zhulan didn't know Mei and Lillie, but after hearing about their stories, she was still a little surprised.

"He's already at this level at this age... And that look really does resemble a certain trainer I've met."

"Eh? Hehehe." Mei smiled embarrassedly after receiving the compliment from a champion. Although she didn't understand who the "certain trainer" that Takeran was talking about, she was still very happy to receive the compliment.

This shows that her level and potential have been recognized by the strongest trainer.

"And this one, so she's the eldest daughter of the Aether Foundation, the daughter of Dr. Moon and Dr. Lusamine?"

Zhulan looked at Liliae with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

"Do you know my parents?" Lillie blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"They spent a long time in the Sinnoh region, published many meaningful papers, conducted a lot of research, and had many exchanges with my grandmother. They are excellent researchers."

Zhulan fell into memories. At that time, she was just a little girl, but Moon and Lusamine were already very famous researchers. They were not only knowledgeable, but also relied on their research results.

, and gained a lot of wealth. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a rising star in the small circle.

But later on, the two of them left Sinnoh and went to a place called Alola to protect Pokémon...

“I didn’t expect to see their daughter again.”

It’s not that Nazhi is related to her friend, Zhulan never expected that she would meet the daughter of an old friend here.

"If you have anything to say, let's leave first and talk about it later."

Naz did not expect that these people had such complicated connections, but chatting here all the time was not a wise choice.

Places like the gym are full of Alliance spies.

"Let's go to the nearby dessert shop?" Zhulan asked.

However, Naz shook her head seriously: "Come to my house."

“…” A trace of barely perceptible disappointment flashed across Zhulan’s face.

After some discussion, they basically reached a consensus and left the Magic City Gym one after another.

Looking at their receding backs, Nian Hai, who was sitting not far away to rest, sighed deeply.

"He's gone...finally...no, he's really gone."

Not long ago, he heard that Hangzhou City was attacked. Not only was the gym directly razed to the ground, but even the gym leader was defeated by two challengers in a row in the subsequent challenges.

This story became a legend among the entire museum owner community. But Elder Nian Hai never imagined that he would experience a similar feeling not long afterward...

"A champion-caliber trainer... I'm afraid the league will have to take notice of this."

Although we don’t understand why the other party has not obtained the badge so far, since he has come to the gym and challenged, this information will be obtained by the alliance.

Even if he wanted to suppress such important information, it would be impossible for him to do so.

Chapter 400 [Relics]

On the way back, Naz was still driving. Although Zhulan said that she also had the skills to drive a car, Naz was unwilling to give up the position of steering wheel. Besides, it was the first time for Zhulan to meet them, and she probably didn't even know where the destination was.

"I didn't expect you still have a house here."

When she arrived at Nazhi's house, Zhulan looked around, as if thinking about something.

"It's just a perk of being a gym trainer."

"That's better than my situation."

Zhulan shook her head slightly. After coming to this world, she had been wandering in the wild, her whole body buried in the ruins, and she had no idea of ​​getting these things at all.

On the other hand, Nancy not only got the house, but is also trying to get the position of gym leader. She is so ambitious.
