Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"...After all, what my father and mother were doing was unprecedented. It was unprecedented research and extremely risky."

Liliae lowered her head, looked at her shoes, and made a slight excuse.

"If this information were known and exploited by certain people, it would definitely cause even greater damage to the world."

She still remembered how high-spirited her parents were when they first built this facility. Their intentions must have been good. They even set up a special Pokémon protection zone at the top of the Aether Foundation... However, everything changed after her father disappeared.

As a child, she could do nothing.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Qiao Ran raised his hand and released several Pokémon with flying abilities from the Poké Ball.

Reshiram, Yveltal, Latias, and Tanabata Bluebird appeared before him again, blocking the moonlight outside the artificial island.

Afterwards, Qiao Ran and the two girls jumped onto Reshiram's back. On such a night, the pure white Reshiram would not be particularly conspicuous, unless she called upon her turbo flame. In that case, she would probably be visible no matter how far away she was.

"...let's go."

Under Qiao Ran's command, Reshiram, Yveltal and the others flew into the sky at the same time.

Leaving the Ether Foundation from the air - they had tried this several times not long ago, but each time ended in failure. The space barrier surrounding the Ether Foundation made it impossible for them to leave.

However, this time, there was indeed a different feeling. Qiao Ran, Lillie, and Mei looked back at the Ether Foundation on the ground, only to find that the pure white artificial island was getting farther and farther away from them.

“Really…really left!”

Lily's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she saw.

Was it because the barriers around him disappeared automatically, or was it because his mother did something else?

"If we can leave this area, then we can really go to the Alola region!"

Lillie isn't a native of Alola, but her friend Mitsuki's family is still in the Alola region. If she could really go to Alola, Mitsuki would be able to find her family!

"Well... let me ask you a question. If we fly over the sea like this..."

Suddenly, while Liliae was still sighing, Qiao Ran, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly raised his hand.

His expression looked a little strange.

"Um... do you know where to fly to reach the island of Alola?"

Lillie: "..."

Meiyi: "..."

The two of them fell silent at the same time and could only look at each other in confusion.

Mei had never been here before, and as for Lillie, as a young lady, how would she know the direction?

Qiao Ran: “…”

Looking at the expressions of the two girls, Qiao Ran probably knew their answer. He could only touch his cheek and ask tentatively.

"Then... let's just fly around a bit and give it a try?"

Chapter 420 [Direction]

The Alola region is a relatively marginal area in the Pokémon world. While other regions are mostly entire continents, the Alola region is made up of four islands, and its population is sparser than other regions. Even after so many years, it still has not established its own alliance, and local trainers can only improve and train themselves through the traditional "Island Pilgrimage".

But it is precisely because of these factors that this place has become a tourist destination. The beautiful natural scenery has attracted a large number of travelers to come here to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.

"Which direction is the island? And I don't know how long it will take to fly there."

Lying on Reshiram's body, Qiao Ran, Lillie and the others began to feel a little tired, and several Pokémon were also listless. Not only because it was time to go to bed, but also because nothing special happened on the way. They didn't even encounter an Ultra Beast flying in the air.

If possible, Qiao Ran would like to find a place to rest first, open the portal and go back to catch up on some sleep, but... they are now on the sea. If they go back from here, they will have to drift on the sea next time they come here.

"Let's try again... If it doesn't work, just wait until daybreak. The view will be better during the day."

"Um……"

Although she still didn't want to give up and was worried about her mother's condition, Lilia nodded and agreed with Qiao Ran's suggestion. After all, they were like headless flies now, running around on the sea, and couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly.

"Uh-huh."

Mei also yawned. She was tortured by the aura of the strange beast in the Ether Foundation before. Now that she came out, she could not see anything but the sea, the sea, the sea. She was tortured by boredom again.

"Wait, is there something over there? And in this direction..."

Suddenly, Qiao Ran, who was sitting in the front, suddenly became alert and patted Reshiram under him. He, who had no direction originally, suddenly had a goal.

"Over there? That's..."

At first, the two girls didn't know what Qiao Ran was referring to, but as he got closer, their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had seen prey.

"Explosive Mosquito! It's an explosive mosquito!"

From the desolate air, a red mosquito appeared. The mosquito was flexing its muscles and rushing towards Qiao Ran and his group with full confidence. It was obvious that it was not a creature to be trifled with.

In this world, not many Pokémon have the power to fight Ultra Beasts. However, this time, it seemed as if something went wrong. Just when Explosive was halfway through its sprint, a bone-chilling chill surged into its heart.

"It's definitely a blasting mosquito, it's a blasting mosquito!"

A smile appeared on Qiao Ran's face, and several Pokémon flying nearby also laughed at the same time.

I've been bored for so long, finally

There is a target available at your doorstep!

And he flew here by himself!!

Tears.

Yveltal couldn't hold back and fired at Deathwing without thinking.

Latias and Tanabata Bluebird were also busy, using their own skills. Only the more mature and quiet Reshiram watched everything quietly.

"Emerging from the moonlit sea, the red mosquito cut through the illusion of dreams and brought reality back to the world."

There was a hint of admiration in Reshiram's azure eyes as he watched the Explosive Mosquito fall directly into the sea after being beaten by a group of people without any ability to fight back.

Although it did not bring any pressure to them, its appearance was full of meaning, and Reshiram would definitely not forget everything it did tonight.

"..."

Qiao Ran blinked, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should complain about the scene happening in front of him. The excitement he and these Pokémon felt... seemed a little subtly different?

"...The Explosive Mosquito is a beast not suited to long-term flight. Its thin wings struggle to support its muscular body. Therefore, it must not have taken it too long to get here. Since the Explosive Mosquito flew from this direction, it means there's land in that direction where it can land. In other words—an island!"

Qiao Ran looked in the direction where the Explosive Mosquito came from. After a long and headless search, they finally found the direction to move forward. Qiao Ran wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and took the Poké Ball that Latias handed to him with telekinesis.

Thank you, explosive mosquito.

——————————————————————————————————

The four islands of Alola are Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula'ula Island and Poni Island. Each island has completely different landforms and customs and cultures.

"So, where are we now?"

Following the direction where the explosive mosquito came from, Qiao Ran and his party indeed discovered a vast sandy beach. The sea water washed the golden sand, and white waves appeared. There was no doubt that this was the "land".

It is completely different from the environment created by artificial islands like the Ether Foundation.

But now, Qiao Ran, Liliae, Mei and others were once again in the dilemma of being lost, and they couldn't even determine which island they were on.

"Liliae, do you know where this is?"

Mei looked left and right. It was her first time in Alola and she didn't expect this to be the case. Lillie, who was asked a question, frowned in confusion, indicating that she knew nothing.

"...Sorry... Mother has only taken me to some of the big cities in Alola. I really don't know much about this place... Sorry..."

Lillie was also very distressed. As a "native" of Alola, she behaved like an alien along the way. If she was asked questions about this again, she would have to squat on the ground with her head in her hands.

"There's nothing we can do. It's too late. Let's go back today."

Qiao Ran took a quick look at the surrounding environment and after making sure that he would not fall directly into the sea next time he came here, he also put forward his own ideas.

"Go back and have a good rest. Let's go find Miyue before coming tomorrow. She must know the situation here."

"Ok!"

Lilia nodded, agreeing with Qiao Ran's words.

As a trainer who had participated in the Pilgrimage of the Islands, Mitsuki had traveled to almost all the islands in Alola. If it were her, she would definitely know where this place was. Besides... now that they had arrived in Alola, Mitsuki could start looking for her mother.

Just like her.

Chapter 421 [Conversation]

Back to the real world.

What surprised Qiao Ran and the others was that when they emerged from the portal, the lights in the living room were still on. Nazi and Zhulan were not asleep either, but were sitting in the living room waiting for them.

It's already two or three in the morning. According to their usual schedule, they wouldn't stay up until this time, not to mention that Naz has to participate in the exhibition match tomorrow.

"...Why did you come back just now?"

Sensing Qiao Ran's presence, Nazi, who was meditating on the sofa, was the first to speak.

Zhulan, who was sitting next to them with her head supported in a daze, also opened her eyes and looked towards the group of people.

"..."

Before Qiao Ran and the others left, they told them where they were going. However, what Nazhi and Zhulan did not expect was that they disappeared for such a long time this time.

This is really too long. Such a long time is definitely not a normal situation.
