Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"We contact her sometimes, but she only talks about recent events and never mentions anything she's remembered."

"Really."

Qiao Ran closed his eyes and nodded gently.

"Even if I can't remember, as long as I can live happily every day, that's not bad."

Having memories is sometimes not an easy thing, just like Xiaogang who came to this world twenty years early. Even though he has his previous memories, these memories only make him feel heavy and painful.

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

"The train has arrived—"

"Rongcheng Station, Rongcheng Station..."

Dozens of minutes later, the battle train finally arrived at its destination. The director team and Qiao Ran got off the train together. They then had to edit the video footage recorded this time.

“Hopefully the show will be on TV.”

"No, no, this is all thanks to you, Brother Qiao Ran." Looking at Qiao Ran's face, the director smiled and shook hands with Qiao Ran, calling him "brother".

He was not just extremely satisfied with the recording this time, but extremely satisfied, especially the final battle between Qiao Ran and Lila. With the quality of this match, there shouldn't be any big problem in letting this show be broadcast directly on TV, right?

With the transparent carriage and Diancie, this battle has become a work of art.

As for Mei and Lilia, they are

Gong Sniper - He grabbed Lila and forced her to talk about the previous battle, and asked for her contact information.

Lila seemed to have relaxed her guard a lot towards this group of young and beautiful girls. Mei got their cell phone numbers without much effort. However, just as Acerola said, the girl in front of her seemed to really not remember anything about the Pokémon world.

For example, when talking to her about Diancie, she didn't know Diancie's true identity, but just said that it was a Pokémon that was discovered recently.

As a girl from the Pokémon world, how could I not know Diancie?

"I'll be staying in Rongcheng for the time being. When the next battle train starts, I'll probably have to leave."

The job of train conductor is not something that comes up every day, and due to the nature of the job, Lila definitely has to travel back and forth between the two cities.

"Why did you think of becoming a train conductor?" several girls couldn't help but ask.

"..." Lila shrugged helplessly, her voice a little lower.

"I'm just looking for a job. I can't just do nothing."

Although the meeting time was not long, she couldn't help but say a lot of words when looking at these girls.

"After getting a job, I feel much more at ease."

Hearing Lila's answer, Acerola opened his mouth in astonishment: "..."

Although I had heard Uncle Modan say before that the new chief of Alola's International Police was a workaholic, and although he had not been in the organization for a long time, he relied on his terrifying internal competition skills to work overtime and eventually became the chief.

Through Uncle Modan's description, Acerola didn't feel any of this, but now it seems that the person in front of him seems to be even more terrifying than Uncle Modan described.

Even if I lost my memory... my obsession with work hasn't diminished at all?

Chapter 537 [Rongcheng Gym]

After saying goodbye to the director team, Qiao Ran and the others began to leave the station and enter the city, looking for a Pokémon Center where they could stay.

Unlike the situation in Shanghai at that time, Rongcheng is not hosting any large-scale events now, so the Elf Center is not so crowded that there is no place to stay.

"Hey, hey, hey, look at that group of people over there...could they be..."

"Really? Weren't they in the Magic City before? Could it be that they want to challenge the gym here..."

The appearance of Qiao Ran and his group once again attracted the attention of many people in the Elf Center. After all, Qiao Ran and his group did not hide their identities, and coupled with their recent popularity, it was natural to recognize them.

"..."

Mitsuki seemed a little uncomfortable, but the others had more or less gotten used to such stares. Mei and Lillie weren't to be mentioned, as they had lived like this in the Magic City. When Acerola was the captain of Alola, she was often stared at. No one believed that such a young child could be the captain, even though her age was about the same as those boys and girls who participated in the island tour.

"Ah... Welcome to Rongcheng."

When the nurse at the Pokémon Center saw the appearance of several people, she also showed a very polite smile. In their job, they often meet some very powerful trainers. However, when she saw Qiao Ran and others, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

If we talk about the best among the younger generation in China, we cannot avoid the people in front of us. Moreover, the Pokémon they use are also very rare.

However... seeing Qiao Ran surrounded by several girls, the nurse felt something was not right no matter how she looked at it. Although she tried her best to think of them as travel companions or friends, her thoughts still couldn't help but wander.

Something is not right. Something is indeed not right.

Although her mind was a little confused, the nurse still gave a very standard smile. After processing the registration of several people, she handed the room door card to the other party.

"If you need to challenge a gym, you can make a reservation on the machine next to it. It's much faster to make a reservation at the Pokémon Center than on your phone."

"OK, thanks."

Qiao Ran nodded. They didn't know much about the gym in Rongcheng, so he didn't plan to make a reservation right away. It would be okay to observe the situation here for a while.

"Is there anything I should be aware of regarding the gym in Rongcheng?"

"Anything that requires special attention... well... probably there's nothing that requires special attention." The nurse tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"If I had to explain it, the gym's attribute is grass, and the rules for challenging the gym are three-on-three. That's pretty much it."

"It sounds similar to other gyms." Qiao Ran couldn't help but smile.

"The rules of all gyms across the country are actually the same. Aren't the only ones who are different the gym owners?"

The nurse couldn't help laughing.

"Our Rongcheng gym leaders were among the most influential and outstanding of the younger generation back then. Although they may not be as prominent as the current gym leader of Magic City, Nancy, back then... they were the ones who sparked the Pokémon craze throughout the city."

Talking about my city

The owner, the nurse's face was also full of pride, but as she was speaking, she mentioned Naz's name again. It seems that the news of Naz being the owner of the museum has caused a sensation not only in Shanghai, but also across the country.

After all, she is a gym leader who looks so young and yet is so powerful, and most importantly... she is indeed very beautiful.

If the league had to choose a poster girl, Qiao Ran felt that girl would definitely get a very good ranking.

"Thank you."

After chatting with the nurse for a few more words, Qiao Ran went back to the room with a few girls to rest. Although the nurse had opened a lot of rooms for them, Qiao Ran would not refuse if they had to squeeze in. Internal, Department, Post, Book/Group:9'8"0'2,0"5?8,5:6 Absolutely.

No, maybe it's better not to think too much today? After all, Diancie is still...

Although Qiao Ran thought so in his heart, after returning to the room, several people gathered together again very naturally and began to plot the next step.

"Challenge the gym!"

"I'm going to challenge the gym!"

Mei and Mitsuki can't wait to challenge the gym. They lost to Qiao Ran on the train before, and their bodies are not yet fully mobilized.

"Wait...wait, challenging the gym also requires a reservation. During this time, we can also stay nearby for a while..."

Liliae took out her phone and showed a few people the chat history between her and Lila.

"Look, Miss Lila will be staying here soon. We can ask her to come out with us and try to awaken her memory."

"There must be a reason for amnesia. If we can awaken her memory, we might be able to learn a lot of information that is currently unknown."

“That’s…right.”

Mei and Mitsuki looked at each other and tried to control their excitement a little.

The gym must be fought, but this will take time, and the waiting time alone is enough to make people feel itchy and impatient.

"Let's just do this."

Mei's eyes rolled around and she came up with a solution.

"Let's make an appointment for the gym match first, then ask Lila out to play tomorrow, and then..."

"Then I secretly took her to the Pokémon Arena!" Mitsuki answered directly.

"Once you're in there, you can't escape!"

Mei also nodded excitedly.

"Correct!"

They were totally on the same page.

Since only the winner can challenge the conductor on the train, then - if they challenge Lila privately, is that also the same as challenging the conductor?

Rounding it off means they didn't lose on the train.

"Then... then I would like to challenge him too."

"The dream demon that challenged her."

Acerola on the side also raised her hand. When she was watching the battle on the train before, she was actually eager to try it. In the Alola region, she was a rare Ghost Pokémon user, but because of this rarity, it was difficult for her to learn new things from other people in Alola.

But now, she met a trainer who was also very good at using ghost Pokémon.

Although Uncle Modan said that the Pokémon used by that sister were not just ghost-type, but being able to train a Dream Demon to this level was already very impressive.

"Okay, then we'll do this tomorrow... Let's lure Lila out first..."

A mysterious smile appeared on Mei's face, and several people's heads gathered together.

Even if she is the train conductor, she must never return.

Chapter 538 [Contact]

At night, in Qiao Ran’s room.

"Have you arrived safely?"

Rotom was floating in front of Qiao Ran, and on the screen, the appearance of a woman was also displayed.

The familiar long hair and familiar pajamas show that she is the current leader of the Magic City Gym - Nancy.

"There's no need to call me specifically to tell me, right? You make it seem like I care."

"I'll just call and tell you."

Qiao Ran didn't care about her words. After all, he knew that this was the guy's character.

Sure enough, after saying that she didn't care, she still asked about what happened today.

"Didn't you participate in that high-speed train competition? How did it turn out?"

"Of course I won, thanks to Diancie."

Qiao Ran paused as he spoke, then added, "However, on that train, we met a very interesting person. Acerola had seen her before in the Pokémon world, but she seems to have lost her memory now."

"Oh?"

Nancy also became interested: "You guys can meet people from the Pokémon world just by going out like this?"

She advertised extensively in Shanghai, but only Zhulan and Xiaogang had come to visit her so far. But Qiao Ran and the others were running around everywhere, and they could meet one whenever they went out?

"Maybe... I'm just lucky?"

Qiao Ran was also puzzled, but since it happened right in front of him, he couldn't pretend not to see it, right?

"Anyway, I heard from Acerola that the man used to be the head of the international police in Alola, and he's had amnesia before. Even if he loses his memory again now, it wouldn't be surprising."

"The commander of the International Police... that strength should be quite strong.

Pretty strong, huh?

Nancy actually knows something about the international police. After all, in the Pokémon world, the Golden City Gym under her jurisdiction is located in the largest hub city in the Kanto region. In such a city, many dark things are also investigated by these international police.

"Although they belong to a different organization than the Alliance's investigators, to hold this position, one must at least have some impressive abilities."

If you want to catch criminals in the Pokémon world, you can't just shout love and peace. If you don't have enough strength, you will be in great danger.

"Yeah, she is indeed very strong... probably stronger than you... no, probably about the same as you."

"What do you mean by almost the same as me?" Naz frowned slightly. Why did she feel that this guy was indirectly insulting her?

"I'm also one of the strongest gym leaders in the Kanto region. Even if I become a king in the future..."

"I know I know."

Qiao Ran said that he knew everything, but if he had to say who was better... Lila over there was indeed stronger.

As the former pioneer of the Hoenn region and former chief of the international police, Lila's strength should be stable at the level of a king. Qiao Ran would not think that the Dream Demon used on the previous train is already Lila's strongest Pokémon.

Even in the games and comics, she actually used legendary Pokémon...

And in the pioneering minds of the Hoenn region, there are two other people who have also used legendary Pokémon.
