Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"There's no point in thinking about that. Anyway, the current situation is indeed beneficial to us..."

Qiao Ran and Liuwei looked at each other, and both of them felt stronger confidence in their hearts. Although Liuwei's whole body was shaking at the beginning of the battle, it seems now that she is not without the ability to fight.

Isn't it just a legendary Pokémon?

She sees it a lot.

"Ouch!"

Even she has the potential to kill gods!

"it is good."

Seeing Vulpix's fighting spirit rising, Qiao Ran also clenched his fists. Even if Vulpix's attacks could not cause fatal injuries to Tapu Moo, but with the double restraint of ice against grass, these attacks would definitely not be pleasant for Tapu Moo.

As long as they keep up this pace, they will win!

Will really win!

Vulpix is ​​his first Pokémon, and her potential is far more than that.

"Vulpix! Freeze Beam!!"

Taking advantage of the time to increase the distance again, Vulpix sprayed a blue light from its mouth and shot it straight at Tapu in the air.

However, the opponent was obviously not a pushover. He dodged Vulpix's attack with a single flash. The extended rays only spread to a floating island at the back, condensing into a large piece of white ice ridges that were out of tune with this world.

"..."

Vulpix's attack is obviously not weak, and can even be considered the best among ordinary Pokémon, not to mention that it is just Vulpix. However, in the battlefield of Legendary Pokémon, this ability is still slightly lacking.

Tapu Moo didn't even look at the situation behind him, and shook his body again.

This time, unlike before, it directly raised the huge bell hanging on its tail. The emerald green energy continued to gather like a tide along with the bell-like sound.

"This is……"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!"

The bell rang like a heartbeat, and emerald green energy covered it, like a huge green hammer. It was dragging this powerful weapon and rushing towards Vulpix again!

There is no so-called pattern in Tapu Moo's fighting. Every attack is absolutely wild and powerful, but every time it can make Qiao Ran and Vulpix break out in cold sweats.

"..."

Just looking at Vulpix made her body tremble. The size of this hammer was probably even bigger than her body!

If this hits, it will be smashed into a piece of paper!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

This move of Tapu Moo is undoubtedly one of the Grass-type ultimate moves - Wooden Hammer. His Mimikyu also likes to use this skill. Qiao Ran recognized it at just one glance.

The power of this move is much stronger than the previous wooden corner.

If you get hit...

A drop of cold sweat slid down Qiao Ran's cheek.

"boom!!!!"

At an extremely fast speed, Tapu Moo was like a meteor, smashing towards the location where it thought Vulpix was. Although there was a certain deviation, but -

"boom!!!!!"

The deafening explosion seemed to resound throughout the entire space.

Even - the entire ground began to tremble.

"Snapped!"

The scenery in front of Qiao Ran was shaking wildly. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"No...no!"

Under Tapu's Mooing attack, the entire floating island seemed to become unstable, and beside Qiao Ran, the cracks on the ground seemed to be expanding rapidly.

The power of this attack was simply too great, and as a Tapu Moo was already mad, its attack was simply reckless.

"Click."

A heart-shaking voice rang in Qiao Ran's ears. He looked at his feet in horror, and his body seemed to sink slightly.

"……Eh?"

Everything happened in an instant, so fast that he himself didn't even have time to react.

I...this is...?

Am I standing crooked?

No... that's not right, this is the ground...

ground!

Am I going to fall?

Qiao Ran, who was observing the battlefield just now, didn't pay any attention to himself at all. Everything that happened suddenly made it difficult for him to switch back to thinking.

His body even froze in place.

but--

At the other end of the battlefield, Vulpix, who had narrowly avoided the attack but was trembling all over from the aftermath, witnessed this scene firsthand.

No, no!

"Ouch!"

She opened her mouth and used all her strength to shoot out the freezing ray that she was proud of, but - the distance and speed were still a little short.

no, do not want!

Liuwei's mind had long been blank. The only thought in her mind now was to save Qiao Ran, to save her master.

However, her ability is not enough...

Why is her ability not enough?

"..."

In Qiao Ran's sight, these few seconds seemed to pass in slow motion. He also noticed Vulpix's actions. Although it was frustrating, but...

The only one who would still pay attention to him at this time was probably her, who was always by his side and protecting his safety.

Is this the end for me?

...If possible, maybe it would be better to fall beside everyone.

Just when Qiao Ran's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts and had begun to wander, an astonishing scene happened in front of him again.

——A faint light suddenly emerged from Vulpix’s petite body.

The light gradually expanded.

It's getting brighter.

Chapter 631 [Choice]

"Ow—"

Vulpix stretched out his voice.

Like the light, her voice gradually changed.

At the same time, her originally petite figure also changed.

——Vulpix is ​​a very special Pokémon.

At least in the Alola region, their clan has always been called "the incarnation of God."

In the legends of the Alola region, they only live in mountains where gods live, and have been an inviolable existence since ancient times.

However, it has never been an easy task to evolve a Vulpix into a Ninetales.

Unlike other Pokémon that can evolve simply through the accumulation of experience or some kind of stimulation, the evolution of Ninetales requires some kind of external "stimulation".

When it was a fire-type Vulpix, this stimulation was the "Fire Stone", and when it was an ice-type Vulpix, this stimulation became the more special "Ice Stone".

In Alola, this is not a resource that can be easily obtained, so in the ancient Alola region, each Nine-Tailed Fox is a very rare existence.

Moreover, that holy, flawless, graceful and awe-inspiring figure was as beautiful as a messenger from God.

Even Tapu, the god of the island, pales in comparison to the Nine-Tails.

——Just like the scene that appeared in front of Qiao Ran.

The originally petite Vulpix had disappeared, and what appeared again from the light was a fox-shaped Pokémon with slender, tall limbs and a slender body completely covered with pure white.

Nine soft snow-white tails swayed gently behind her, forming various different shapes.

"Ow!!"

Her temperament has completely changed, as if she has undergone a complete transformation. The original cute childishness has completely disappeared, replaced by determination and enchantment.

Just by looking at those blue eyes, one can feel a mixture of holiness and strange charm.

Powerful ice energy spurted out of her mouth and directly hit the cracking ground under Qiao Ran's feet.

The spreading ice spikes solidified the crumbling land and also gave Qiao Ran time to react.

"...!"

After recovering, Qiao Ran jumped up and quickly left the edge of the field, escaping from the dangerous area.

All this happened at the critical moment.

However, it is obviously not the time for Qiao Ran to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Vulpix... No, Ninetales..."

Qiao Ran stood up from the ground, his eyes trembling.

He couldn't help but take several deep breaths.

Qiao Ran never expected that at such a critical moment, Liuwei would do such an unexpected thing.

——You know, Vulpix has been able to control itself from evolving because it is unable to evolve through levels, and the series of changes that have just occurred are obviously not something that can happen "automatically".

The only explanation is that Vulpix had made some kind of preparation, and just now... it came in handy.

"Are you..."

Qiao Ran looked at the white fox standing in the field and looking at him from afar, and for a moment he was stunned.

He knew how much Vulpix didn't want to evolve - no... maybe it shouldn't be said that way, she just wanted to stay the same as before, to keep her own characteristics.

Every little detail of the past seemed to be still vivid in Qiao Ran's mind, from the first time he saw Vulpix until now...

From the very beginning when she first turned into a human form, she was naive and shy towards others, to now she has completely changed.

She is now a lot different from her original self.

but--

Sometimes, you may still need to make a difficult choice.

And Vulpix made his own choice and gave his own answer.

In order to save him and gain greater power, she gave up something else.

"Master... the battle isn't over yet."

A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded in Qiao Ran's mind. Compared to the previous cute and childish voice of Liuwei, although this voice did not differ much in details, it was obviously much more mature and filled with an inexplicable lazy temperament.

Just listening to it gives me a very comfortable feeling.

"Um……"

However, both of them tacitly avoided talking about their own or each other's changes.

Instead, he turned his gaze towards the common enemy at this moment.

For this battle, Vulpix has sacrificed a lot and expressed his will.

"I can't hold you back..."
