Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

She didn't expect that the boy would surprise her again. If the performance on the first day was a subversive solo performance, then this performance thoroughly explored all the possibilities of the two Pokémon and brought a refreshing feeling to the audience.

It was a textbook two-person performance.

Su Yiliu had also seen videos about the Diancie on the stage. Everyone knew that this Pokémon could create some kind of pink crystals, but who would have thought that when this ability was combined with Vulpix's light blue ice crystals, it could create such a dreamy scene?

This is not a question of one plus one equals two. Whether it is Vulpix or Diancie, it would be difficult for them to give others such a feeling if they performed alone. However, when they were combined together, they showed a transcendent charm.

Moreover, to be able to achieve such a level of coordination and such precise shaping ability in such a short period of time, these two Pokémon must have put a lot of effort in this area. Just take that Vulpix... Su Yiliu has also trained ice-type Pokémon. Wanting ice to condense into the shape he wants is not something that can be accomplished by just thinking about it.

"And...this kid...no, doesn't he look a little better looking than before?"

Looking at Qiao Ran standing between the two Pokémon, Su Yiliu frowned, as if he found something wrong. Compared with Qiao Ran on the first day, he seemed more charming.

"I understand."

On the other side, in the lounge, Lillie clenched her fists, her expression showing seven parts excitement and three parts agitation. The other audience members in the audience might be paying attention to Pokémon, but now she was looking at Qiao Ran on the stage.

She helped with Qiao Ran's outfit, and now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good.

Qiao Ran’s condition was not bad before, but after being trained by Lillie, the overall feeling he showed was taken to a higher level. Makeup is indeed a magical technique.

"...Hmm... a little better than before, right?"

Nancy gently touched the hair on her forehead. Although she didn't want to admit it, this was indeed true to some extent.

All this was based on Lillie's understanding of Qiao Ran, which allowed her to do this in such a short time. Although Qiao Ran's own changes did not attract the attention of most viewers in this exhibition match with Pokémon as the protagonist, Lillie was still very happy.

"Well."

Mei didn't say anything, but just looked at the screen in front of her quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

It turns out...he has this side of him?

Chapter 414

The opening performance had already garnered enough attention, and there were no problems with the following performances. The ice crystals and gems intertwined with each other, presenting the audience with an unprecedented visual feast.

In previous exhibition matches, no Pokémon had ever possessed the same abilities as Diancie. When this diamond princess stood on the stage, she attracted everyone's attention.

Moreover, when this ability is combined with Vulpix's ice crystals, it is like a work of art. This is not a performance at all, but a creation of art. Every second of the picture can be captured for people to appreciate quietly.

"I am so moved. They were able to deliver such performances for two consecutive days. I can almost imagine that a new superstar has risen among Chinese performers."

"A perfect display, perfect coordination. Even when paired with a Pokémon like Diancie, Vulpix's characteristics were still fully realized, not being at a disadvantage at all. Both Pokémon were able to showcase their unique charms. It was truly fantastic."

The judges all gave high praise. Even Su Yilu, who always scored low, scored 8.5, which was a full 0.5 points higher than last time.

"If possible, I really want to give this performance a score of 9 or above, but there are still two days of this competition, and Qiao Ran will definitely bring us new surprises, so I will save the higher score for later. I hope he can continue to bring us more beautiful moments."

Su Yiliu did not hesitate to praise Qiao Ran, but after watching the video of Qiao Ran's battle with Old Man Nian Hai, she also understood that this performance did not actually show all of Diancie's abilities, such as the extraordinary evolution and the diamond tornado... Although the cooperation with Vulpix was also completely different from before, she still had great expectations for Qiao Ran's future performance.

He still has room to go further.

"Thank you, judges."

After the comments were over, Qiao Ran was ready to leave the stage.

In this performance, Rotom still fulfilled his duties and filmed everything.

"Well done, Rotom."

After the performance, Qiao Ran, who once again received applause, left the stage with light steps. However, unlike the last time, this time Vulpix and Diancie did not return to the frontier immediately, but continued to stay by Qiao Ran's side. With their petite stature, they basically had no requirements for the environment, and they were not like Suicune who could not appear indoors.

"You guys did a great job too. The cooperation was fantastic."

Qiao Ran touched Diancie's head and fiddled with Vulpix's chin, which was lying on his shoulder. After Vulpix made a comfortable sound, Qiao Ran finally stopped with a smile.

The score he obtained was enough to advance without any problem, and with the video Rotom shot today, he would probably be able to harvest a large amount of traffic.

But... Qiao Ran hopes that the next person who comes to them after seeing the video will be someone from the real Pokémon world, rather than some weird creature from another world.

"Qiao Ran."

Back in the lounge, several girls looked directly at him, with expressions of joy and excitement on their faces.

Of course, they were like this not only because of their previous performance, but also partly because of what happened after he suddenly left.

However, Qiao Ran always felt that they looked at him strangely. Could it be that... did I get something on my face when I was putting on makeup?

After everyone chatted and praised Diancie and Vulpix's performance, it was Nancy who changed the subject.

"Ahem. It's good that the game is over, let's go back first.

Go ahead, and tell me what happened over there later."

She was still very concerned about the situation over there, and to be on the safe side, she did not ask Zhulan about the situation directly in the lounge. After all, this was a public open space with many people and a lot of noise.

Qiao Ran's match was the last one. After Qiao Ran finished his performance, everyone left the venue and returned to Naz's home. The next few contestants were not worth paying attention to, so there was not much point in continuing to watch.

In the living room of Nancy's house, Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan talked about what they had encountered before. Simply put, they met a group of people who claimed to be from the "Ultimate World" and their organization was called the "Ultimate Investigation Team" or something like that.

"...I also have some information about that world."

Qiao Ran didn't hide anything and directly told the history of the Ultimate World that he knew, which was something like "backstabbing Necrozma, and then having his light taken away by Necrozma."

After listening to Qiao Ran's story, the girls present all frowned at the same time, and even Diancie and the others fell silent.

“…It’s really ironic.”

Nazhi leaned on the sofa. After listening to Qiao Ran's story, she no longer had much good feelings towards this group of people from another world.

"Did they harm the gods who once gave them light because of their greed, causing the gods to devour all the light? What do they want to do now? Bring back the lost gods? ...Hehe."

“…Humanity should live in greater harmony with these legends.”

Zhulan on the side also put forward her own opinion. In the records left in the Sinnoh region, there was a history of some people taking action against "God" because of greed, but these conspiracies were eventually thwarted by other humans who believed in God. Everyone should be a whole.

It has come to this point, causing the whole world to lose its light and enter a cold and dark apocalypse. Ultimately, it is only that world's own fault.

It's just a pity that ordinary people who are completely unaware of this have become victims of the greed of the high-ranking officials who initiated the action.

"Let's put that aside for now. They've also borne the consequences of their past actions. But those people left behind words when they finally left, saying things like Alola was a civilization that had existed for thousands of years..."

Qiao Ran talked about the point that he cared about the most. He looked at Lillie beside him. He didn't know the meaning of those people's words, but... if Alola was a civilization of thousands of years, then what was Lillie in front of him?

“…? Thousands of years?” Lillie was also full of question marks and was shocked by what Qiao Ran said.

"Isn't Alola...fine?"

They and Qiao Ran had just been to Alola some time ago.

"Yeah, we talked to Lillie's mom before." Meiyi also found it very strange. This didn't make sense at all. Maybe Qiao Ran just heard it wrong? Or maybe those people were wrong?

“…” Nazhi was silent and looked at Zhulan. She wanted to hear the opinion of another person present at the scene.

"Actually, this is the case. My understanding of this sentence is..."

Zhulan also expressed her own opinion, which was basically the same as what she had said to Qiao Ran before. Her point of view was that those people from the other world were talking about the ancient Alola Kingdom, which was indeed a civilization from thousands of years ago.

“…So…is that so?”

Logically speaking, Zhulan's point of view is actually more tenable. After listening to Zhulan's explanation, Lilia nodded in conviction.

It seems that she has basically accepted Zhulan's opinion.

"Of course, I'm just stating my current judgment. I don't have any other evidence to prove it."

Zhulan shook her head. Those people left too quickly. Without truly understanding the other party's intentions, these were just speculations.

"If there are other possibilities... I hope everyone will pay attention."

Zhulan's expression gradually became serious.

——————————————————————————————————

The conversation in the evening did not last too long. After all, the information Qiao Ran brought back was limited. After the conversation ended, everyone returned to their normal lives.

The following day, Qiao Ran and the others did not encounter any major problems. Although this was already the third round of the competition, their level was still sufficient.

It’s just that Mei’s score was a little bit dangerous, but with her own excellent qualities and the guidance given by Nancy and Takeran from time to time, Mei and Lillie also advanced to the top 16 on the final day.

To be honest, even in the Pokémon world, getting guidance from top gym leaders like Nancy and top champions like Ran is something that can only be obtained by chance. If the current situation is not really special, such treatment would be impossible to get at any price.

Another thing is that Nian Xiaoxiao's sister Nian Hongyu also appeared in the list of top 16, becoming one of the strong opponents competing with Qiao Ran and others for ranking on the last day.

"Congratulations, everyone advanced to the final round!"

At dinner, Mei excitedly took out a newly bought firecracker tube, which added a touch of festive atmosphere to everyone. Although the last day of the competition was still

It hasn't started yet, but the feeling of everyone advancing is still pretty good.

"When tomorrow comes, we will all be rivals."

Nancy looked at the faces of everyone around her. Unlike the Pokémon world, she now seemed to be living a completely different life from before. Although they had not lived together for too long, it didn't feel too bad.

"Ah."

Lillie responded, but in fact, she was very satisfied with her performance these days. From a complete newbie to being able to obtain gym badges and perform on stage, she has changed a lot.

Many of her supporters also appeared on the Internet, which was something she had never thought of before.

Dinner was the same as before, still ordered takeout from outside, but everyone had agreed that after the results came out tomorrow, they would let Naz take them out for some fun.

Naz did not refuse, she just acted a little bit arrogantly before agreeing.

"Speaking of which... that red-haired woman who appeared a few times before... if she were here too..."

Nazi suddenly remembered a guy with terrifying superpowers, who she had met when she first met Qiao Ran. She originally thought that Qiao Ran would meet that guy a few times when he was here, but what she didn't expect was that the guy never appeared again.

"She, it seems like she's no longer in the Magic City."

Qiao Ran couldn't possibly tell Nancy that it was Latias, so he could only find a random excuse to get away with it. Not everyone could accept the humanization of Pokémon, and besides, it was necessary to keep this secret.

If he wasn't close to someone to a certain extent, Qiao Ran would never reveal such things.

When it was evening and everyone finished their basic training, Lillie and Mei also found Qiao Ran, hoping that he could take them to Alola.
