Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

“Then… what should we do then?!”

"this……"

The two exchanged glances for a moment, but the situation was neither here nor there—in short, awkward. However, playing dead and refusing to open the door wasn't going to work either. They were already semi-public figures, after all. What if someone passing by the hotel late at night saw Lillie, or if Mitsuki caught her in the act? That would be the end of it.

Qiao Ran finally decided to try everything and stood up to open the door. Mei just looked at him in confusion, her head was also a mess.

Wait... Why is Lillie here now? Could it be that she's thinking the same thing?

Qiao Ran opened the door and brought Liliae in, but when he turned around, he found that Mei, who was originally lying on the bed, was nowhere to be seen. Through telepathy, he roughly knew where Mei was - No, why are you hiding in the closet!

The corner of Qiao Ran's mouth twitched. If this continued, the situation would only get worse!

"Um...I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

Lillie sat on the bed, ruffling her hair nervously with a shy smile on her face.

She waited until Mitsuki fell asleep before finally sneaking out. Mitsuki had gone out to train for a while tonight, so she went to bed after washing up in the room. Liliae guessed that Meiyi on the other side was not much different. How could someone climb a mountain and kill an Ultra Beast in the daytime?

, go out for training at night, and still have energy to move around in the middle of the night.

When I entered Qiao Ran's room, I saw that there was no trace of Meiyi.

Liliae breathed a sigh of relief.

Isn't this good?

"Rest? Ah... No, no interruptions."

Qiao Ran's body stiffened, and while the two were talking, Lillie came closer.

No…no no no no something is wrong.

Why am I being a little too proactive today?

Qiao Ran said that he really couldn't bear it anymore, and there was another side, Mei was still hiding in the closet!

On the other side, Mei didn't actually understand why she behaved like this. She just saw Qiao Ran suddenly stand up to open the door, and her heart suddenly jumped. Then she saw a place to hide. Based on her many years of experience as a trainer, she felt that her size was more than enough to fit in there.

A momentary impulse will eventually lead to regret, just like Mei now. She is in a dilemma whether to go out or not. She just collapsed in the closet. The most important thing is that she can still see the situation of Qiao Ran and Liliae. These two people are her most familiar companions.

Wait...what on earth are you doing?

Qiao Ran pulled up a bitter smile. In the river of fate, he had no room to resist and could only go with the flow in their hands. But... looking at the current situation, he probably couldn't think of having a good rest tonight.

It's really hard to become a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 605 [It’s really shocking]

Qiao Ran can no longer remember the details of yesterday.

"My head is a little dizzy."

What he could vaguely remember was that after Lillie left, Mei fell out of the closet in a daze, and it was obvious that she had suffered a huge shock both mentally and physically.

"..."

Although I don't know exactly what she saw, judging by her expression, she must have been deeply shocked. The most important thing is - after this scene, she can no longer come out of the closet!

So, she could only stay inside and watch silently, and could only come out after Lillie left satisfied, but her mind and body had suffered infinite shock.

The mental trauma came from the long, desperate images she saw in the closet, and the physical trauma was due to the narrow space in the closet. Although she did squeeze in, she obviously underestimated her size. The feeling of oppression made it difficult for her to breathe.

In order to make up for the trauma suffered by Mei, Qiao Ran could only overdraw his body once again. No one knew how much he had silently paid for this team. In the end, his body still had excess physical strength, but his spirit was almost to the point of blackout.

After all, the continuous battles during this period have consumed a lot of his energy. In addition, these two people are very angry. In order not to cause harm to them, Qiao Ran has to maintain a little output of Evergreen's power. As a result, Qiao Ran now can no longer remember the details of what happened afterwards.

"Well, at least everything is alright in the end."

To be honest, if Lillie and Mei really bumped into each other in such a situation, Qiao Ran himself probably wouldn't be able to predict what would happen in this situation. Although based on their personalities, it is unlikely that they would fight directly, it is still very likely that they would be stunned.

Even when nothing happened between the two of them and they went back to their own homes, a rift appeared between them in the end...

"No, I have to think of a way."

Qiao Ran recalled what happened last night. The key point was that Mei hid in the closet and watched for the whole night. There must be something wrong with her impression of Lillie, right?

"Hey."

Mitsuki's affairs have not been dealt with yet, and something unexpected has happened to Mei, not to mention the increasingly complicated situation in the frontier.

But the only thing worth being happy about is that they reached the top of the mountain and got real information, and Qiao Ran also completed the task he had been stuck on and could start drawing the next Pokémon.

At the same time, the tasks issued by the system were also updated. The number this time was still 100 as before, but the species was even rarer than the previous fairies - dragons.

When Qiao Ran saw this, his heart skipped a beat. How long would it take him to catch 100 Dragon-type Pokémon? Fairy-type Pokémon still clung together, but when it came to Dragon-type Pokémon, they were usually just one or two, sporadic.

"No, maybe some weak dragons would be easier to catch, and there would be more of them, like the Crimson-faced Dragon..."

Before number 151, there was only Dragon-type Pokémon, Dragonite. However, as time went on, there were more and more Dragon-type Pokémon, and various Dragon Shames emerged one after another. Perhaps, if he wanted to complete this task, he would have to rely on these Pokémon.

The shame of the dragon clan?

No, it should be the light of the dragon clan!

-------------------------------------------------- ------

After washing up in the room, Qiao Ran went straight to Lily's room. In the morning, everyone usually gathered here and then went out to eat.

Although the hotel also provides breakfast, the taste does not seem to be very good.

"Ahem...hello."

Qiao Ran tried his best to act no different from yesterday. Not only him, but also Meiyi who arrived before him did the same.

She had tried her best to make herself know nothing, but after returning to her room and lying on the bed, those scenes still seemed to appear before her eyes.

I didn't expect that the young lady who usually looks so gentle and strong would have such a side to her.

Also, why did I hide at that time!

If I make a mistake, please let the league punish me instead of making me hide in the closet, neither in nor out.

Meiyi has tried her best to act normal, and Qiao Ran, who has been watching her, has discovered some clues.

In short, judging from Mei's appearance, she probably didn't rest at all. Qiao Ran was even a little worried. If her emotional problems were not handled properly today, would it affect the subsequent battles?

Qiao Ran covered his head.

Why are they all so troublesome?

Fortunately, Lillie and Mei's actions did not seem to attract the attention of the other two girls. Qiao Ran was not very clear about Mitsuki's situation, but seeing Acerola's cheerful expression, she was definitely the most reassuring person here.

After everyone gathered together and came back from having dinner, Qiao Ran called Zhulan and Nazhi. Unlike the previous situations where they contacted them one by one, the information they obtained this time was too important, so Qiao Ran hoped to discuss it with them.

"Very important? Fine, I'll take my leave first."

After seeing Qiao Ran's serious expression and his general description, Nazhi directly chose to take a leave of absence and found an unused meeting room to sit in.

To a certain extent, gym leaders have a fairly high degree of freedom, although there are still accumulated issues that need to be dealt with later.

Zhulan's situation was obviously much easier. She was already at Phoebe's villa and was always available to video chat if she wanted. Usually, when Qiao Ran called her, she would be connected immediately.

"Let me pass the data to you first. This is the data we obtained at the Alola Observatory. It basically captures all of the regions except the Unova region."

Although there was a risk of interception when transmitting over the internet, this didn't mean Qiao Ran and his team had to completely abandon their means of communication and return to primitive times. They were already very cautious about keeping their communications secret, so there was no need for the Alliance to monitor them now. Furthermore, even if the Alliance could actually manipulate this, Phoebe, as a high-ranking official, would undoubtedly react.

The most important thing is that Qiao Ran wants them to see these and also wants to hear their opinions.

Chapter 606 [Three Lakes]

It takes a certain amount of time to transfer the data and wait for them to finish reading it bit by bit. While they are still digesting the content, Qiao Ran surfs the Internet for a while and looks at the number of followers of their account.

"It's already 50."

Unknowingly, the number of followers of the account has exceeded 50, but the website's 10 followers medal has not been delivered to them yet - according to the practice of this video website, video bloggers will generally receive medals from the website when the number of followers reaches 10 and 100. This is both an encouragement and an honor. In the past, Qiao Ran could only watch others play with this thing in their hands, but now he has the opportunity to get it, and he is still quite interested.

However, it has been a while since their number of fans exceeded 10, but they still haven't received any gifts from the website. Maybe the website hasn't responded yet.

Moreover, since they are always traveling, they may not be able to wait for the express delivery in one place.

"If you really send it back, let Naz take it."

Qiao Ran immediately thought of a very convenient gym leader. Now that there was a Pokémon world, everyone could send things to her. If that was the case, then the same would apply to express delivery.

"But...it's already 50."

Qiao Ran didn't know what this number represented, but he could sense it was definitely a staggering number, and many of these fans had only recently started following. At the time, they were challenging the Rongcheng Gym, so they posted a lot of battle videos. Coupled with the broadcast of the Battle Train program and the debut of the Qixi Bluebird music video, this series of actions directly put them at the forefront of the storm, and the number of followers began to soar.

Qiao Ran casually flipped through the comments below. In addition to those who praised the videos and learned knowledge on a daily basis, there were actually people spreading rumors about his affair with several other girls. There were even many different factions. Qiao Ran said that it was an eye-opener after reading it.

However, this also gave him some reminders. In order to prevent these rumors from spreading, they would have to be more careful when going out in the future.

In this regard, Naz is much more professional than them - in the technique of hiding her identity and avoiding fans.

However, even the experienced and calm Nazi and Zhulan became more and more excited after watching the videos sent by Qiao Ran bit by bit, and even became uncontrollable.

Asked.

"This...this is actually the situation in the Pokémon world?"

“Is something similar happening in so many areas?”

Before, they might have had a little bit of luck. Even if Qiao Ran had seen Alola, Galar, and other regions, there was no way to prove that similar situations had occurred in Kanto and Sinnoh where they were.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of luck, but the moment I actually saw these videos, even this insignificant luck was completely crushed, and there was no trace of illusion left.

In the Kanto region, many places have been covered by black and purple surging matter, and in the Sinnoh region, this phenomenon seems to be even more serious. The covered area is even several times larger than the largest part of other regions.

"Zhulan, do you recognize where these places are? If it's hard to identify them, I can just..."

Qiao Ran kindly reminded him that the situation in the Sinnoh region was not optimistic. If he relied solely on the naked eye, it would be almost impossible to determine the locations in the video. It was only with Ma Ruiyin's explanation that he learned the names of these places. Compared with using the naked eye directly, satellite technology is obviously more reliable.

"No...I recognize it."

"This is Tianguan Mountain, and this is Wisdom Lake, Heart Unity Lake, and Ambition Lake..."

Zhulan pointed out the place names in the video one by one. What was amazing was that she didn't make any mistakes in identifying any of them. No matter how much was obscured, there was no way her judgment would be biased.

How much does she know about Sinnoh?

"And the last one here... Sending springs."

"...Why is the black fog here almost as thick as that at Tianguan Mountain...?"

In the video, Tianguan Mountain is obviously the hardest hit area this time. The originally towering mountain range has most of its shape obscured, but in terms of density, Songquan's situation is not much different from Tianguan Mountain. Zhulan's eyes flickered, and she was obviously thinking about something.

"What do you think?"

Nancy looked at several places in Kanto for a while, such as the Twin Islands and the uninhabited power station. She had no idea what these places were. As a Kanto native, she had hardly heard of these place names.

"I think...it might be related to some myths and legends."

Zhulan frowned. Sinnoh is a region full of myths and legends. Most landmarks are more or less related to some legendary Pokémon, but this time, the connection is even more obvious.

"Tianguan Mountain is the origin of the creation legend, the three major lakes are the source of the three major spiritual powers, and other regions are more or less the birthplace of some legend... and this Songquan..."

"It refers to the master of the reversed world, or rather the destroyed world, Giratina."

Qiao Ran also interrupted the conversation, and Zhu Lan, who was originally lost in thought, suddenly raised her head and looked towards where Qiao Ran was.

"Yes! It's Giratina. This place is deeply connected to Giratina... This is also one of the papers I'm researching and preparing to publish..."

"Wait, how did you know?"

Zhulan suddenly realized something was wrong. She hadn't mentioned these things to Qiao Ran before, had she? And she had only told Cattleya about her research, hadn't she?

Zhulan has always been very cautious about the third god outside of time and space, and a lot of information about Songquan is just speculation, but the fact that Qiao Ran can say it so directly is obviously beyond her expectations.

"Uh, I just guessed."

Qiao Ran interrupted and threw the question out there.

"Look at how dark the screen is. There must be something scary in there, right? Just a quick guess, it's Giratina."

"This……"

Zhulan was stunned for a few seconds again, while Nancy looked away speechlessly.

Although she didn't understand things like myths, as soon as she heard what Qiao Ran said, she knew that this guy must be pretending to be stupid again.

This kind of thing is just to fool little girls.

Chapter 607 [Discussion]

Nazhi would never believe what Qiao Ran said. This guy always had no good intentions when he pretended to be stupid. However, what she didn't expect was that Zhulan on the other side actually nodded.

"Really? So you were just guessing... In that case, there's nothing we can do."
