Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Oops."

Inside the carriage, the man in the sportswear who had missed the attack already felt something was wrong.

As expected, an invisible attack came towards Lucario's waist, knocking Lucario away directly.

Not only that, Vulpix had already climbed over the edge of the car window at some point, and used the reaction force to charge directly towards Lucario.

"Idea hammer!"

The two consecutive attacks made Lucario fly out at a faster speed. Although the physical damage of the Mind Hammer may not cause great damage to the steel-attribute Lucario, it also gave Vulpix a good vent and released the resentment of running away before.

"Ow—!"

Vulpix's little face was full of eagerness to try.

For her, this battle has just begun.

“…Good job.”

Such an attack alone was not enough to knock Lucario down directly. After shaking his body, Lucario stood up by holding the wall of the carriage.

Although it looks a little embarrassed, it can still continue to fight.

"continue!"

The girl in sportswear hooked her finger again.

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

The battle continued in the carriage. After using the trick of replacing the prince with a cat, Vulpix did cause some damage to Lucario. The most important of them was the magical power that directly hit Lucario's waist. After the waist was injured, its speed was obviously reduced a lot.

In the end, thanks to the efforts of Qiao Ran and Liu Wei, the game ended with their victory.

"The final time... 38 minutes and 20 seconds!"

"Contestant Qiao Ran has broken the record again!"

In carriage number five, the timing screen suddenly stopped, and the girl in sportswear shook her head and sighed as she looked at the fallen Lucario.

According to Qiao Ran's perception, the wave power that her Lucario was proud of did not achieve the expected effect. Qiao Ran was even able to sense the opponent's next move through the opponent's wave power.

And most importantly, this Lucario hasn't reached a higher level of wave control. A Wave Hero from the Sinnoh region might have sensed the anomaly the moment they saw Vulpix's substitute. It was obvious—this wasn't the wave control emitted by Vulpix itself. The wave control of any living thing is vastly different from that of an inanimate object.

"I lost. My practice is not enough."

The girl in sportswear clasped her hands together and bowed to Qiao Ran.

"It looks like you'll be the one to challenge that person this time. Please keep up the good work next time."

Qiao Ran: “?”

After leaving behind some unclear words, the girl took back Lucario and turned to leave the car in another direction.

As for Qiao Ran, he returned to his original location along the same route.

"Congratulations! Thirty-eight minutes and twenty seconds, you've broken the record just set by Mei again by a narrow margin!"

Arriving at carriage No. 0, the host congratulated him on his achievement, but Mei turned away, looking somewhat helpless. This kind of battle was indeed not suitable for her. If she lost to Qiao Ran... it wouldn't be too embarrassing, right?

Although it is indeed a bit unwilling.

"Then it's up to me now!"

Miyue chuckled and stood up from her seat. She was a little tired of waiting for the two of them to fight for so long. It would depend on how she would show her skills next.

As the challenge began again, Miyuki walked into the carriage with confidence, while Qiao Ran sat in carriage No. 0 and started chatting with Mei.

"This battle did reveal some of my current shortcomings."

Mei did not relax at this time, but reviewed her previous battle.

"After Monarch Snake was promoted to the level of Heavenly King, I seemed to be a little too obsessed with the powerful force, and neglected the control of the power of the moves in the previous training."

“This should be the direction in which I can continue to improve.”

Even after reaching a height that others could never reach in their lifetime, Mei can still find her own shortcomings.

Then continue to move forward.

"By the way, which Pokémon did you choose to challenge? Was it Diancie?"

As a contestant, Mei cannot see the challenge process of other contestants now. She is also a little curious about Qiao Ran's battle. She knows all of Qiao Ran's Pokémon, but there shouldn't be too many of them that can be used in the challenge.

"I chose Vulpix."

Qiao Ran smiled and shook his head.

"It took a little longer, but we still won."

"...That's it."

Although a little surprised, Mei still understood Qiao Ran's choice very well.

"We all chose our own starting Pokémon."

"I guess Mitsuki should be about the same. Her sniper tree owl is just right for this kind of battle."

"Yes."

Even though there are many differences between them, they actually have many similar ideas and will make the same choices when faced with the same problems.

"How long do you think it will take for her to come out?" Mei couldn't help but ask again.

"I think it'll take about forty minutes."

"why?"

Mei blinked her eyes. She had said before that she was optimistic about Mitsuki, so why did the time seem to be prolonged again here?

"Because I want to play another game." Qiao Ran answered without hesitation.

If Mitsuki was faster than him, wouldn't he be eliminated immediately?

Mei couldn't help but pinch Qiao Ran's waist with a smile.

"Humph."

"Look at what you said."

Chapter 530 [Train Conductor]

"Damn it! Why did it take me so long?"

After about forty minutes, Mitsuki's ordeal came to an end.

"Exactly forty minutes and twenty-five seconds! Exactly forty minutes and twenty-five seconds!"

Although her results were better than Mei's, she herself was obviously not very satisfied. Compared with Qiao Ran's results, it seemed that they were still a little bit worse.

Although it was only a few minutes' difference, it was indeed the distance between the two.

Qiao Ran and his Pokémon were indeed much more adaptable than them. Before this, Miyue had never experienced such a battle, and she was indeed very uncomfortable with the first contact. She tried her best to control the power of her skills and limit the fighting and performance of Pokémon, which was as uncomfortable as having a fishbone stuck in her throat.

As for Mei, although there were such activities in the Unova region, she was not as strong as she is now when she participated. At that time, she did not need to deliberately control the power of her moves. As a novice who had not yet reached the level of an elite trainer, she used whatever she could.

It was not until this time that she truly realized the difficulty of this kind of battle.

——Force behavioral restrictions on Pokémon and then give them a limited time.

It is the combination of these two aspects that forms this extremely special form of combat.

"Well, now that the challenge between our three challengers has concluded, it's time for the winner to have the final challenge with our conductor!"

The host read out the time it took the three people to pass the level in order, and finally, he turned his attention to Qiao Ran.

"Congratulations! The contestant with the shortest time is none other than Qiao Ran!"

"Let's hear what the judges have to say."

"'The chemistry between him and the Pokémon was impressive. Even though he spent a lot of time in the last car, he still managed to take first place.' Indeed, that's exactly the feeling that player Qiao Ran gave us."

After a brief commentary, the host finally announced the start of the final round.

Unlike the first round, the final round only has one battle, and this battle will take place in carriage No. 6, which is after carriage No. 5.

"Our train is about to reach the final destination. In this final stage, what kind of battle will contestant Qiao Ran bring us?"

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

Crossing the five familiar carriages, watching the lights and curtains in each carriage open little by little, Qiao Ran also reached the end of the fifth carriage.

At the beginning, the girl in sportswear left the fifth section from here, and behind this door was Qiao Ran’s final destination this time - carriage number six.

"Click."

The light on the door turned from red to green, and the door slowly opened. Qiao Ran finally saw the scene behind the door.

It was an extremely special carriage.

Although the size of the carriage was no different from the ones he had seen before, and there were seats inside the carriage, there were far fewer seats than on ordinary high-speed trains. Moreover, the most special thing was that in this carriage, whether it was the surroundings or the dome, what was used was not any other materials, but a large amount of transparent substances.

Coming into this carriage is like entering a huge transparent box. Whether you look up or around, you can see all the scenes outside. Just like now, their vehicle is driving next to a large forest. Looking into the distance, you can also see many towering trees.

If you look up at the mountain, you can see the floating clouds.

He didn't even feel like he was on some kind of transportation, but rather as if he had merged into this world.

"It's so beautiful..."

It was the first time that Qiao Ran saw such a carriage. He had never cared about this kind of thing before, but when this magical scene appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It's said that this special material was developed with inspiration from the Magic Wall Dolls. It's truly an amazing technology."

A female voice came from the other end of the car.

She walked into the combat area with a skillful pace.

"Everything about Pokémon is the most precious thing in the world, isn't it?"

"You are……"

Qiao Ran withdrew his gaze from the beautiful scenery and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared.

But just this one glance surprised Qiao Ran again.

"..."

A long purple ponytail, a smart women's suit, and an elegant posture.

This is a very charming, handsome and beautiful young lady.

With just this one glance, Qiao Ran thought of a very familiar character in the Pokémon world. However, under the current circumstances, he had no way to confirm with the other party and could only wait for the other party's response.

"My name is Lila."

She reached out, pulled the black gloves on her hands, and adjusted her collar.

"He is also the conductor of this battle train."

"Welcome, my first challenger."

A faint smile appeared on the face of the purple-haired beauty, which made Qiao Ran slightly stunned.

"Lila...?"

Wait...is this guy really called Lila?

Lila - In the Pokémon world, this character does exist.

Moreover, her existence directly runs through the two regions of Hoenn and Alola. In the Hoenn region, she is one of the strongest pioneering minds in the battle frontier and has the title of "Lord of the Battle Tower".

In the Alola region, she was suddenly caught in the Ultra Cave and lost her original memory. She accidentally joined the International Police and became the "Director of the UB Countermeasures Headquarters", managing all the International Police's investigations and affairs regarding the Ultra Beasts.

In short, no matter from which perspective, this is already a very legendary woman. She is an example of someone who can survive no matter what and still reach the top.

For a moment, Qiao Ran seemed to have thousands of words in his mind, but after taking a look at the cameras around the car, he restrained his thoughts.

This is a TV show. Even if you want to say something, you can't choose this time.
