Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

By the time Zhulan regained consciousness, it was already evening.

She herself didn't know what happened in the middle, but she and Xuwuyide didn't adapt well, so some small accidents occurred.

"Are you OK?"

When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Qiao Ran standing by her bed.

"It's okay... I'm just a little tired. Is this because of the neurotoxin?"

A somewhat helpless smile appeared on Zhulan's face. She wanted to move her body, but she seemed to have no strength. Perhaps this was the sequelae left over from that time.

"Just get some rest today. Xuwu Yide checked you out, and there aren't many toxins left. It probably won't have much of an impact. It's just that your body reacts strongly to them, so you need to get some rest."

Qiao Ran also didn't expect that Zhu Lan's reaction was the most intense among everyone present. Among Lily, Amy, Yue Meiyi and others, Meiyi's reaction seemed to be the mildest. She was almost the type who wanted to run away as soon as she was done.

"Then thank you for your hard work."

Zhulan had no complaints about this. The most important thing was that she couldn't move even if she wanted to.

I could only obey their arrangements and lie down to have a good rest.

"Is this feeling... the same as what you mentioned before, the feeling of induction?"

Zhulan closed her eyes. At this moment, she could clearly feel that there seemed to be an invisible connection between her and Qiao Ran. This feeling was something she had never experienced before, but - she could clearly understand the warmth in Qiao Ran's heart and his concern for her situation.

Even without words, Qiao Ran's thoughts were conveyed vaguely.

"Yes."

Qiao Ran nodded.

"When we fight together, you'll see how useful this is."

"Ah, let me make this clear. Although you are very powerful, it is best for you to listen to my command... If you really don't want to listen, you can tell me directly."

Qiao Ran doesn’t have the courage to command a league champion now. If the other party points out his mistakes or directly confronts him, he will definitely not be able to refute it.

"Don't worry." Zhulan smiled and shook her head.

"When you were fighting before, you were the one giving the orders, right? I'll just follow your instructions now."

She had heard many people praising Qiao Ran's command ability, and in her own words, she might be better at commanding her own Pokémon than coordinating between trainers.

Or it should be said that Qiao Ran, who can command Pokémon and others at the same time, is an even rarer existence.

In the evening, Qiao Ran stayed by Zhulan's bed and talked to her. After the transformation, she had many questions she wanted to ask Qiao Ran. Qiao Ran naturally told her everything he knew.

"By the way, where are the others? Have they gone to eat now?"

After talking with Qiao Ran for a long time, Zhu Lan didn't see any trace of the other girls, so she couldn't help but ask.

"They...they went to help Qixi Bluebird with the live broadcast. Jiuwei said she would go over to help tonight. She wanted to experience the feeling of live broadcasting."

"Nanabi Bluebird? Nine-tailed?"

Zhulan chewed over the two words Qiao Ran said, and vaguely remembered what happened before.

"Wait, isn't this another Pokémon transformed into a human?"

Chapter 658 [So Strange]

Humans and Pokémon, Pokémon and humans.

Even though Zhulan has accepted the fact that Pokémon can transform into humans, it doesn't mean that she has adapted to it all. Or rather, how can she adapt to such a thing? ?

"Can you hold my phone for me while they're live streaming? I want to watch it too."

However, no amount of words can compare to actual observation.

Even in this situation, Zhulan wanted to see how those Pokémon that had taken human form were integrated into this world.

"Could it be that other Pokémon are like this too? Could it be that... some Pokémon already existed in the human world?"

The interchange of identities between humans and Pokémon in Sinnoh folklore doesn't actually refer to a confusion between the two, but rather to the process of Pokémon becoming humans?

"No, this ability... well... probably only appears in me, right? I haven't seen anything similar in other people."

Qiao Ran gave a brief explanation. After all, there are so many unknown powers in this world. Suddenly, strange abilities appeared in him. From the perspective of people in the Pokémon world, this was not something that was incomprehensible.

"So... this is one of your abilities? Is it similar to the power of traveling through worlds?"

Zhulan nodded blankly. Obviously, this was the first time she heard such a statement.

"Yes, but these powers also have their own limitations."

Not everything can be brought with him when traveling through the world, and he does not have the key to open the door himself. As for humanization, it is limited to his own Pokémon, and he must reach a certain "intimacy" to do so. As for what this intimacy is, Qiao Ran himself still doesn't understand it. If he has to describe it, it would probably be some kind of illusory feeling.

"Hmm... maybe it's some special power generated by this world... After all, this place is different from the Pokémon world, so it makes sense that some special powers would appear. Just like in the Pokémon world, there are some special powers that can only be generated by people in certain areas, and the origin of those powers is actually an unsolved mystery."

Zhulan leaned on the pillow beside the bed and began to analyze seriously.

"Some say it's related to the underground magnetic field or the local legendary Pokémon. Others say it's some kind of power in the local bloodline, but who knows about such things?"

"And this power that allows Pokémon to humanize also proves that, to some extent, Pokémon and humans do share the same origin...both being descended from Arceus' creations. I heard that Dr. Masaki of Kanto also used himself as a human-Pokémon exchange experiment...although the Alliance halted the experiment due to ethical...risks, I heard he did achieve some results...which seems to confirm this point..."

"..."

Qiao Ran was stunned and nodded repeatedly. Although he just said it casually, after listening to Zhu Lan's analysis, he felt that it made sense. So this is what power is like?

Although he didn't understand, he was indeed shocked.

"Um... could you help me up for a moment?"

Zhulan's long speech lasted for a long time. When she was in a good mood, she would talk unexpectedly a lot. However, as time passed, Qiao Ran felt that Zhulan's cheeks were slightly red.

"?"

Zhu Lan's sudden words left Qiao Ran with little time to react, but after listening to her words and considering her current state, Qiao Ran seemed to understand something.

The most important thing is that at this time Qiao Ran could vaguely guess some of her thoughts.

After all—this idea is too clear.

"Good, good."

Qiao Ran stepped forward without saying a word, and Zhu Lan cooperated by putting her hands on him, turning her body around and letting Qiao Ran support her.

"I'm sorry... I don't have enough strength right now. I feel like I can get through if I try hard... but you definitely won't let me go like this, right?"

Zhulan smiled slightly and looked at Qiao Ran's expression.

"Isn't that a sure thing?"

Qiao Ran expressed his affirmation righteously. If such a good league championship was broken because of such a thing, Qiao Ran would definitely not be able to forgive himself.

However - if you must say it, the other party could also do something similar by calling out his own Pokémon, but now... she chose to let me help. Perhaps this is also a kind of trust in herself.

At least, that's how Qiao Ran felt.

He carefully supported her body and sent her to the bathroom door. Standing in this position, Zhulan couldn't help but speak.

"Okay, let's stop here. Remember to help me back later."

"Eh? Don't you want to go a little further in?"

"..."

After hearing Qiao Ran's reply, Zhu Lan's already slightly red cheeks became even more unnatural.

"That's fine here."

"It's really okay now."

This time, Zhulan's attitude seemed very tough. She even wanted to break free from Qiao Ran's hands and hold on to the wall next to her.

What...what do you mean by send it in?

Does this guy have absolutely no common sense???

Zhulan has always been alone. From becoming the league champion to becoming a researcher, she has never had too many thoughts on love between men and women. But now - only now, she really wants to complain about Qiao Ran, is this guy's head made of steel?

"Okay." Qiao Ran had no choice but to let go of the arm that was holding Zhu Lan.

"I just thought it might be more slippery inside, so I wanted to help you through... If you insist on doing it yourself, that's fine. After all, it's not that far, so holding on to the wall won't be a big problem."

After all, Zhulan is also a very strong woman, and she would never rely entirely on herself like Lillie did before.

"But be careful. If there are any problems, I will help you."

"Ah."

Seeing Qiao Ran's serious expression, Zhu Lan had no way to refute for a moment and could only nod obediently.

Although this serious and responsible attitude is quite good, the process of handling this matter...isn't it too weird???

No... No, we can't delay this any longer.

Zhulan glanced at Qiao Ran, then walked into the bathroom by feeling the wall, and finally closed the door carefully.

Chapter 659 [Have a Good Rest]

This was the first time Zhulan had experienced such an embarrassing situation since she could remember.

If possible, she would never want to experience it a second time, but just this one time was enough to make her remember it for a long time.

"..."

Even after everything was over and she was lying on the bed with the help of Qiao Ran, she couldn't help but think about it.

He shouldn't have felt anything, right?

Seeing Zhulan lying on the bed suddenly silent again, Qiao Ran took the initiative to speak.

"It's almost time for dinner. What do you want to eat? We can buy it for you. Don't worry too much tonight, just lie down and have a good rest. We can take care of the rest."

"Tomorrow, when you're feeling better, we'll head straight to the next city. You can continue recuperating while the others and I take over the next gym overnight."

"This……"

Listening to Qiao Ran's schedule, Zhu Lan, who was lying on the bed, felt that it was a bit inexplicably outrageous.

"...This really is... a quick fight and a quick decision."

But it makes sense. With the current combat power of Qiao Ran and others, they are already far ahead of the average gym leaders. If they want to end the battle quickly... maybe they can really do it.

But for the museum owner, it was definitely not a wonderful experience.

"But if you challenge a gym in this world, you usually need a reservation, right? And I see there are a lot more people in this world than in the Pokémon world, so the queue should be longer."

Zhulan raised her question, but Qiao Ran just shook his head.

"It's okay. There are four or five other gym owners who can recommend us... just consider it a small favor of cutting in line."

Qiao Ran was not very worried about this. Although generally they would make an appointment and queue up like everyone else, this was a special period after all. If they wanted to rush, they naturally had to do so.

At least - Nazi Tieji and the others are definitely willing to help them, and as for Sister Wanshuang, maybe they can try their best.

"Once you've rested, we'll go to Alola's Moon Altar to practice. Once you've adjusted, we'll conquer Unova in one fell swoop."

Qiao Ran went on to talk about their future plans. According to this schedule, they probably wouldn't have much free time to rest in the future, but all the efforts would be worth it.

This is not only Takeran's wish, but also Mei's wish, and it is also a good opportunity to dispel the shadow that has been shrouding the Unova region.

"Well, it seems you have thought about it carefully."

Qiao Ran had already made arrangements to this point, so Zhu Lan had no choice but to follow his will. The most important thing was that she really wasn't feeling well right now. After tonight's rest, she might not feel any better until tomorrow. As for a full recovery, it would probably take until the day after tomorrow.

"I'll call everyone over later. Aside from some people who need to help over there, everyone can come over to watch the live broadcast, eat, and chat."

The next few days will be full, and Qiao Ran will not give up this good opportunity to integrate the team. The so-called integration does not necessarily have to be in battle. At least - enhancing mutual understanding and understanding each other's in-depth preferences are all very important links.

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

The night passed quickly, and the next day came.

Last night, everyone gathered together and played various board games with Zhulan, even Truth or Dare. As for games like role-playing games or script-killing games that are time-consuming and difficult, they will be put off until later.

After all, Zhulan had never been exposed to these things before, and her friends basically all played various video games.

——For example, Cattleya likes to stay in her room. As long as there are games or other entertainment, it is okay for her to stay in the room all the time.

In addition, last night's live broadcast of Qixi Bluebird and Jiuwei also went very smoothly. The girl who calls herself "Xiaojiu" has attracted a lot of attention since she appeared in Qixi Bluebird's live broadcast room. Her natural white hair without any fake white hair, outstanding temperament and facial features, even sitting next to Qixi Bluebird, can still look very unique.

Even the attention that Qixi Bluebird received seemed to be snatched away by Kyuubi.

By the early morning of the next day, Qiao Ran and others had not posted any videos themselves, but the videos of Qixi Qingniao and others recorded by fans last night were actually on the list. Although they were only at the bottom, it definitely proved the attention these two received.

When seeing this situation, Qiao Ran couldn't help but complain on the spot.
