Chapter 412

"I heard that some people wearing strange cosplay costumes and with gray skin showed up at the gym. They said they were looking for us."

Nazhi didn't convey much information, but when he connected these two sentences together, Qiao Ran was still shocked.

Gray skin...cosplay costume...

If he remembered correctly, there were indeed "people" in the world of Pokémon who fit this description.

However, according to common sense, those beings should not appear here.

Qiao Ran frowned. Although he still had a competition to participate in, this matter was indeed very serious and he couldn't just sit back and watch. Besides, his appearance was still a long time away, and he might have to extend it to the afternoon session.

"Besides, I can't drive at all!"

Qiao Ran clenched the car keys in his hand. Although he wanted to drive, he really didn't know how.

"and many more."

An idea suddenly flashed through Qiao Ran's mind. Just a few days ago, when they met Zhu Lan for the first time, she seemed to have said that she could drive?

Qiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked straight into the lounge, came to Zhulan, and handed Nazhi's key to Zhulan.

"Um, sorry... can you drive?"

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

Sitting in the passenger seat, and letting the league champion sit in the driver's seat to drive the car, Qiao Ran rolled down the window and felt the breeze blowing in from the window. At this moment, he seemed to have become the most enjoyable person in the world.

"Did Nancy say that someone came to the gym specifically looking for us? Could it be related to the Pokémon world?"

Zhulan controlled the car while chatting with Qiao Ran.

"Hmm...it doesn't necessarily have to be the Pokémon world. From what Nancy described, it does seem like they're from some other world."

Before they actually met, Qiao Ran didn't dare to make a direct judgment. He could only briefly express his guess.

"Wait, you have the documentation to drive... do you have a driver's license?"

Qiao Ran suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.

When Zhu Lan heard Qiao Ran's question, she did not answer immediately, but turned her face slightly and revealed a mysterious smile.

"Time is of the essence."

"..."

Qiao Ran seemed to understand something.

"I have a Pokémon world driver's license, but I don't know if it can be used."

Zhulan added.

Qiao Ran could only respond in silence: "..."

It can't be used, right? It definitely can't be used, right? That kind of thing transcends the world!

With a nervous mood, Qiao Ran took Zhu Lan's car to his destination - the Magic City Gym. Fortunately, nothing strange happened along the way.

This champion doesn't brag about her driving skills. In fact, when she goes on scientific expeditions, she usually drives herself. Firstly, it can help transport excavated materials, and secondly, it can serve as a temporary storage point for supplies. In short, her driving skills are quite good.

"The Magic City Gym is..."

According to the location given by Nancy, Qiao Ran quickly came to a room inside the gym. Because the other party's characteristics were too obvious, the gym staff did not directly throw these people in the room.

Instead of going outside, they were invited to rest in a room first.

However, since Nancy had already begun to incorporate her own forces, the affairs of these people had not yet spread within the gym.

As soon as he entered the lounge and stepped through the door, Qiao Ran saw several people with grayish-white skin wearing strange jumpsuits that looked like space suits.

There are no people who look like this in this world, so it is normal for them to be mistaken for cosplay or something like that... At least apart from their skin color, they are no different from normal people. They don't have an extra tentacle or wings growing on their backs.

Seeing Qiao Ran coming, these people stood up one after another. Leading them was a middle-aged man who looked very serious. Behind him stood a man and a woman who looked younger.

"Hello, we are the Ultimate Investigation Team."

They stated their identities very directly, without any intention of concealing them.

The leading man looked at Qiao Ran.

"My name is Neosira, and I'm the captain of the Ultimate Investigation Team."

"..."

Zhulan, who was standing by, didn't seem to expect that such a group of people would be waiting for them, so she also turned her gaze to Qiao Ran, waiting for his reaction.

Qiao Ran frowned slightly.

——The Ultimate Investigation Team.

He knew about this organization.

In other words, this thing is actually related to the Alola region, the Ultra Beasts, and the Nebula.

However, this is not a force from any region in the Pokémon world, but an organization from another world that was born to find their "God".

Their world is filled with Ultra Beasts, and everyone relies on the power of "technology" to avoid the threat of Ultra Beasts. However, due to their over-reliance on technology and the strange temperaments of Ultra Beasts, they have not developed a harmonious relationship with Ultra Beasts like humans and Pokémon.

However, according to common sense, these people should not appear here, but in this real world.

"You took the initiative to find us, because you want to..."

Qiao Ran couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, so he could only test his thoughts. In fact, ever since he was tricked by that Luoz from another world last time, Qiao Ran had become wary of these people from other worlds.

"It's like this, our Ultimate Investigation Team is actually an organization from another world..."

The leading man glanced at Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan in front of him. Seeing their reactions, he nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that none of you seem too surprised, so I will continue."

"Our purpose in traveling across worlds was to search for the departed Great God of Light. Our exploration of this world had already concluded, and we were about to return to our original world. However, just a few days ago, we discovered a special existence. This is why we specifically sought you out."

Neosila stretched out his hand, and a strange screen extended from his clothes, appearing in front of Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan.

This is something that has never appeared in this world, and the appearance of these methods further confirms their identity as visitors from another world.

What was playing on the screen was not some weird video, but a conversation between Qiao Ran and Naz that he uploaded a few days ago.

"Is there anything strange about this video?"

Qiao Ran blinked in confusion. Is there something about him and Nazhi that is worthy of these people's attention?

Neosira shook his head, and the video suddenly stopped at a certain second. He reached out and clicked a certain position on the screen.

In that place, a vague phantom suddenly appeared and flashed by.

"This, is the Child of the Stars?"

Captain Neosira pointed at the fleeting shadow and revealed the other party's identity. When he saw the fleeting phantom, Qiao Ran basically understood what was going on. However, it was only a fleeting image, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. How did these guys find out?

Is it really necessary to use a magnifying glass to watch the video?

"...If you're talking about a Pokémon with a nebula-like appearance, then it is."

The other party has already produced evidence, so Qiao Ran has no reason to continue hiding it. Besides, the world where the other party was before can actually be regarded as Xiao Xingyun’s "hometown".

In that world, the little nebula is called the "Child of the Star". After it grows into the "Star Cocoon", one of the "Beast that Devours the Sun" Solgaleo and the "Beast that Invites the Moon" Lunala will be born.

"The Star Child is a very rare beast. If it continues to grow, it will become the most terrifying existence."

Captain Neosila looked at Qiao Ran deeply, and there was something else in his words.

"If you have no way to cultivate it, you might as well..."

"It's not scary in my opinion." Qiao Ran did not back down at all and looked directly into the other person's eyes.

He had been with Little Xingyun for some time, so how could he think it was a scary monster? Besides, even if it was really scary, Qiao Ran would not be afraid.

"……Ah."

Captain Neosira snorted and touched his beard, not knowing whether he was laughing or

Express your other emotions.

"However, this isn't the scariest thing. Once fully grown, the Star Child will become the prey of the Glorious God. If you insist on being with the Star Child, then you'd better be prepared for the worst."

"By then, the angry God of Light will also take away all the light of this world, plunging it into complete darkness, becoming just like our world."

The Great God of Light - Necrozma.

It is the supreme god of Ultra Metropolis, the world of Ultra Beasts. It spreads light throughout the world, and its status is even equal to Arceus in the Pokémon world. However, due to the greed of humans in the Ultra World, they want to control the God of Light and demand more light from him. In the end, the God of Light lost part of his body and fell into a violent state, taking away all the light in the world.

It was also from that day that the world of Ultimate Metropolis fell into endless darkness. People could only use science to build a tower in the center of the city that could release weak light and heat, so that they could live a hard life.

The grayish-white skin color of the Ultimate Investigation Team is the result of living in darkness for a long time.

"If the Radiant God appears, I will take care of it."

Qiao Ran understood all of this and also understood the truth about the Ultimate World. Ultimately, he still couldn't completely trust these people from other worlds who had hurt Pokémon.

Besides, Qiao Ran would not be so afraid of Necrozma, the great god of light who has now lost his light.

After several recent battles and competitions, Qiao Ran's mentality has changed a lot. It is the Pokémon that gave him the confidence to say such words so confidently.

"...Indeed, judging from what you showed in your video, you might actually have this ability."

Captain Neosira looked at Qiao Ran and finally shook his head slightly.

"Well, that's all for our friendly reminders. It's almost time for us to wrap up this investigation and return to our metropolis."

Captain Neosira looked behind him, and the man and woman behind him immediately understood and stood behind him.

Captain Neosira took out a strangely shaped Poké Ball. When the ball was opened, a Pokémon with the appearance of a pale lion appeared in front of everyone. Its huge body directly occupied most of the area of ​​the lounge.

If this wasn't a gym and the rooms weren't specially enlarged, it would have been blown up by this Pokémon.

Zhulan's expression changed slightly. This Pokémon had a very similar appearance to the one she saw in the mural of Alola Legends. It was probably not an ordinary Pokémon.

"Sol... Galeo?"

Qiao Ran's eyes flashed with surprise, and he instantly recognized the name of this Pokémon.

Solgaleo, the beast that devours the sun, is one of the final evolutions of Nebula. It is a very powerful legendary Pokémon, and its true identity should actually be a strange beast from another world.

"Do you know it?..."

Captain Neosira didn't seem to expect that Qiao Ran would know this much. He stroked Solgaleo's mane and gave a brief introduction.

"This beast worked with our original Ultimate Survey Team. It has been passed down from that time until now, leading us across countless worlds in search of the Great God of Light. Even when our team members are in danger and unable to return home, it will always return to Metropolis and bring back the news."

A Pokémon like Solgaleo, even if it gathered the power of the entire Metropolis world, would still be just one like this. Moreover, Solgaleo's ability to travel through the world is not something they can control.

That's right - the final evolved forms of the Star Children, Solgaleo and Lunala, both have the ability to open the Ultima Hole and travel through space. This mysterious power has temporarily surpassed the scope of science.

"Ow—"

Following Solgaleo's long howl, a strange wormhole began to unfold in front of Qiao Ran and others. As the hole expanded, its attraction continued to grow.

"almost."

Captain Neosira and the two team members looked at each other and nodded, ready to leave. After conveying this last message, there was no need for them to stay in this world anymore.

In this world, there is no breath of the glorious god.

"Wait, is there any way you can get to Alola?"

Suddenly, looking at their backs as they were about to leave, Qiao Ran asked a question he wanted to know.

"Alola?"

As if reacting to the word suddenly proposed by Qiao Ran, Captain Neosira, the leader of the Ultimate Investigation Team, suddenly turned his head, leaned his back against the gradually expanding Ultimate Hole, and touched his chin.

"Come to think of it... this name seems to come from a civilization thousands of years ago, right?... And the coordinates of this world are also..."

"...?"

Amid the noisy sound of the gradually expanding Ultimate Hole, Qiao Ran didn't hear clearly what the other party said, but even a few words still made him open his eyes wide.

"Wait, what exactly are you talking about..."

Qiao Ran wanted to ask the other party
