Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Well...if there really is a situation like what you described, you really need to practice this ability."

Zhu Lan nodded in agreement to what Qiao Ran said.

"In the Pokémon world, there are also many trainers who train with Pokémon. If you want to become stronger, you must understand training and understand Pokémon."

A smile appeared on her face.

"In short, I will keep pushing you until you are strong enough."

Chapter 675 [Hotspot]

Qiao Ran didn't think he was a masochist, but when Zhu Lan kept telling him to push himself and encourage him to work harder, he still felt a surge of motivation.

Sometimes, it’s not that he didn’t work hard enough, but that the direction of his efforts was all wrong, and all his energy was drifting to strange places. But now, there is such a good "predecessor" here who can point out the direction for him and correct his mistakes. He is so happy that he can’t express it in words.

Moreover, in the current Pokémon world, there is probably no better "predecessor" than this.

"Mizuki needs to work harder next time, otherwise..."

Zhulan still had a smile on her face, but Miyue, who was suddenly called, had a changed expression and quickly sat up straight.

"Yes, it is!"

She was originally laughing and watching Qiao Ran's jokes, adding fuel to the fire from time to time, but she didn't expect that the fire would suddenly burn her.

If she didn't perform well... No, if she didn't perform well enough, she would probably end up like Qiao Ran.

"The gym leader's strongest main force is now unable to fight, and his spirit is probably also somewhat exhausted. Although he was given time to rest, it is not a pleasant experience to persist until the end of Mega Evolution and then automatically cancel it. Many trainers who force themselves to persist will faint directly. He was able to hold on, which shows that his physical fitness is quite good to begin with."

Zhulan gave her own judgment. In her opinion, Meiyue already had an advantage in this game, so her expectations for Meiyue were actually higher than Qiao Ran's.

"From now on, it depends on your performance, Mitsuki."

"Okay, okay!"

Listening to Zhulan's words, Miyue forced herself to cheer up.

In the next game, she will have to give her 200% of her strength.

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

After dinner, it was getting dark.

However, today, because Chen Leizhong decided to "work overtime", other trainers in the gym also worked overtime with him.

"Because two very powerful trainers are coming to challenge us today, let's all work hard together. After tonight, I can also help you get some 'little benefits', such as their autographs, how about it?"

Chen Leizhong is a very approachable gym leader in his daily life, which can be seen from his attire. Some gym trainers who have a good relationship with him often go out to eat and train with him, making the hierarchy within the gym less obvious.

This situation is completely opposite to that of Naz. Naz really enjoys this kind of clear hierarchy and the feeling that everyone is afraid of her.

Because it was a sudden "overtime", not only the gym trainers needed to prepare, but other tourists in the tower also did not expect that there would be a game tonight. Many daytime tourists came here just for the gym game. After all, you can't see the night view during the day, and if you choose the night view, you won't be able to see the lively gym game.

But tonight, I can enjoy both together, which is just like putting sweet tofu and salty tofu together.

The two sides in the battle are Meiyue and Chen Leizhong. After the previous battle, Qiao Ran can roughly see the current situation. If she refers to Meiyue's current strength, then she is probably sure to win this game.

While waiting for the game, he urged Rotom to start editing the video. Once she was done with it, he could post it online to get some traffic.

The internet is abuzz with discussion about mega evolutions. It's a hot topic, but the focus has been on Qiao Ran and Nancy, making it difficult to continue. Furthermore, Nancy hasn't been seen using mega evolutions since that battle. After all, there aren't many challengers in the entire Chinese Alliance who could pull it off.

But now - this topic suddenly has a new bombshell. Other gym leaders in the Huaxia Alliance have also mastered the method of mega evolution. Moreover, the Pokémon he uses are the same as Nini's Alakazam, which are all Pokémon that everyone is very familiar with!

Unlike Qiao Ran, who uses new species that have not been discovered every day, the strangest thing is that these new species seem to be very rare, just like the ones in the beginning.

After Diancie became famous, many people began to search for small diamonds in the mountains and fields, trying to find the connection between the two. Scholars are also trying their best to prove the evolutionary relationship between the two, but - so much time has passed, and there is still no result.

Could it be that this is some kind of Pokémon with very demanding evolutionary conditions?

Nowadays, there is basically a consensus on the Internet that Pokémon such as "Diancy" and "Suicune" are very rare, which also makes Qiao Ran's identity mysterious. Although he has always claimed that his Pokémon were caught in the mountains, other people really haven't found these things. A female fan of the Diancie fan club claimed that she climbed the mountain three or four times a day for several months and did not find any trace of Diancie.

As for now - although the discussion about Qiao Ran's Pokémon is still going on, at this stage, the hottest topic is definitely about mega evolution. In the sporadic videos circulating on the Internet, we can see that after the mega evolution of Gym Master Chen Leizhong's Dragonite, not only has its appearance changed, but even... its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. According to him himself, he has only just begun to master the power of mega evolution!

You know, with the strength of gym leader Chen Leizhong, especially his Dragonite that has broken through the King level, if a Pokémon of this level wants to make progress, it is almost harder than climbing to the sky. Many Pokémon have to try their best just to stay where they are, let alone continue to improve.

But now, mega evolutions give trainers a window they never had before.

"It seems... I have to give it a try too."

The woman sitting on the armored bird was browsing her cell phone and muttering to herself.

She felt itchy when she saw this power.

"I just happened to be free recently, so I decided to fly to Yangcheng to take a look. I didn't expect that kid...to be this strong now."

“Isn’t this progress too fast?”

Chapter 676

The last time they left Hangzhou, Qiao Ran's strength was much weaker than hers. Although she had a vague feeling that he was about to take off, Yi Ruoyun felt that this time would definitely not come so soon.

——It’s only been a few months?

Although Yi Ruoyun had watched many videos uploaded by Qiao Ran to the Internet during this period, she still felt a sense of unrealistic absurdity when she saw Qiao Ran fighting back and forth with famous gym owners and even defeating them.

Even though she was a little angry at Qiao Ran for not following orders the last time they were in Hangzhou, so much time had passed and her anger had almost subsided. Now seeing how powerful this guy was, Yi Ruoyun couldn't help but recall the scene at that time... Could it be that she was too conservative?

If there was anything that was different between Qiao Ran and her, it was probably that he was really "bold".

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

On the other side, the match between Mitsuki and Chen Leizhong was also in full swing. Just as Zhulan had said before, the three Pokémon that Chen Leizhong sent to deal with Mitsuki this time were no longer as powerful as the original Dragonite. Among these three, only one Electra had reached a level above the King.

As the gym leader of Guangzhou, Chen Leizhong's level is also ranked among the best in the country. After all, if you want to have your own place in these more famous big cities, you must have strong strength. Not to mention the auditions for the position of gym leader, if your strength declines, you will be eliminated by other challengers.

The gym owner of a city is the face of the city. In their own little corner of the world, everyone will give the gym owner some leeway.

Moreover, the reason why Qiao Ran chose Guangzhou as his next destination was actually because he saw the strength of the gym leaders here. Many trainers who are not strong enough may try to choose some relatively "remote" gyms to challenge, so as to reduce the difficulty of obtaining eight badges. After all, even Pokémon of the same level will perform differently under the command of different trainers and different skills. Weak gyms will generally be inferior in these "details".

But Qiao Ran was different. He had been stubborn since he started traveling, so the first gym he challenged was the Longjiang Gym in Longjiang City. If he hadn't happened to meet a newbie lady like him, and if Diancie hadn't fought with him at the time, he would probably have collapsed at the doorstep.

As for now, choosing a stronger gym is simply to train your own strength, learn their fighting style from them, and think about how to deal with such an opponent from the perspective of an enemy. It is completely different from the "go straight to the dragon" fighting style of wild Pokémon. A Pokémon under the command of a trainer will obviously be more difficult to deal with. As a commander, Pokémon will often fight from an "instinct" perspective, while the trainer can think about the direction and layout of the battle from the perspective of a bystander.

If I have to say, it feels like a military general and a military advisor.

The battle between Meiyue and Chen Leizhong did not last too long. Although the battle between the two was still fierce and exciting, when Chen Leizhong's king-level

After his Electabuzz fell, his remaining two Pokémon were no longer able to resist Mitsuki's attack.

In any case, except for Owlowee, the strongest Pokémon of Mitsuki have now reached the critical point of being half a step into the King level, so - with Chen Leizhong still looking extremely stunned, he was once again defeated by the challenger.

"This……"

The moment he lost the game, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"...I used to think that Yi Ruoyun was the best of the younger generation. Was it too early for me to judge?"

Not only Qiao Ran, but this girl also gave him a big "surprise." If she was at this level, even if she wasn't a Pokémon trainer now, she could probably become a gym leader in a big city, right?

If this group of people were to participate in the Huaxia Alliance Pokémon Competition this year...

"..."

Just thinking about it, Chen Leizhong couldn't help but tremble at the corners of his mouth.

Could it be that the league competition, originally a showcase for young people, is going to feel like a battle for supremacy among the four kings?

...If this is true, this will definitely be the most shocking and surprising league game in the history of the Chinese League.

"...Congratulations, this is the badge of the Yangcheng Gym."

Chen Leizhong stepped forward and personally handed the badge to this promising young man.

"Do your best in this year's league tournament. You should have a chance of winning the league championship."

"Thank you."

Miyue happily accepted the badge, but when she heard Chen Leizhong talking about the league competition, she couldn't help but feel conflicted.

"...Hmm...the league tournament here? I'll probably participate, but speaking of the championship... maybe Qiao Ran will be even more..."

As a trainer, she certainly wouldn't refuse to participate in such an event, but deep down, she would rather win the Alola championship first, rather than any so-called championship title in this world. Although she has traveled in this world for a long time and likes the local customs and culture, the first thing she thinks of is still the scenery over there in Alola.

Besides, if she really won the championship... would Qiao Ran be so angry that he would die?

Although it's every trainer's job to give their all in a battle, it's still a bit of a struggle. After all, they're already in this relationship, and it's impossible to just brush it off with a "strong rival."

"...?"

Chen Leizhong looked at Meiyue's performance and blinked in confusion, but he soon smiled with a very "understanding" look.

"I understand, I understand."

"I'll leave this matter to you young people."

In competitive sports, there will always be a winner and a loser. If personal feelings are mixed in, there will most likely be no good results.

"But my suggestion is that if you have the chance, you can also have an all-out battle."

"After all, no matter how familiar we are, people will always change after a long time."

Chapter 677 [Hidden]

After returning from the Yangcheng Dojo, it was already past ten o'clock. Everyone just got together and chatted for a while, and soon went back to their rooms to rest and sleep.

"Mizuki and I have both successfully obtained our badges. Now it's up to Mei, Lily, and Acerola to get yours."

"But don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you don't get it this time, you can always find time to get it later."

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand and showed them his cell phone, which showed Chen Leizhong's number and name.

"Master Chen stopped me and exchanged numbers before he left. I'm sure he won't refuse a challenge when I find him. [Internal/Departmental Post] Book/Group: 9'8"0'2,0"5?8,5:6 Absolutely."

"It's quite unfortunate that Master Chen knows you." Meiyue couldn't help rolling her eyes. Although asking someone for help was not a big problem, she still felt weird when she heard Qiao Ran say it.

Ever since meeting them, the museum owners have had to start working overtime all night.

"He'll also ask me some questions about mega evolution. After all, I only have a tiny bit of experience in this area."

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand and made a gap between his thumb and index finger.

However, facing his smug look, Mitsuki was inexplicably speechless: "Then what were you doing during dinner?"

It's only been a short time. Could this guy have forgotten the "education" he received that night?

"That aspect is that aspect, and this aspect is this aspect."

Qiao Ran coughed lightly. Trainer... Can the communication between trainers be considered as education?

"Alright, alright, you two, stop talking for now. Let the others rest up today. Your match is over, but the others still have to challenge the gym tomorrow."

Zhulan looked at Qiao Ran and Meiyue and couldn't help shaking her head. Is there actually something wrong with the relationship between these two people?

——Although she has not been part of this team for a long time, Zhulan has also discovered this. Compared with Lillie or Mei, Mitsuki obviously likes to argue with Qiao Ran.

However, what she didn't know was that Mitsuki's change actually started not long ago - if it was the entanglement before

If she were in a bad state, she would not talk to Qiao Ran like this, or it should be said that the one who likes to talk back to Qiao Ran for no reason is the real her.

"It's okay, the two of them were..."

Mei and Lillie are no longer surprised by this, but the newcomer, Takeran, is obviously not aware of the situation here. However, Mei and Lillie can't explain it, after all, a lot of things have happened to them in private.

In the past, it was very easy to fool... No, it was very easy to explain to Acerola. She basically didn't think too much about it. But Zhulan was different. If she knew about their relationship with Qiao Ran...

"..."

Mei and Lillie's expressions changed slightly.

——Then everything will definitely be over.

"No, no, this secret must be kept safe."

“Yes…yes.”

Mei and Lillie looked at each other secretly, and they both reached an agreement tacitly that everything should be kept secret in front of Zhulan. If the time comes... they might have to ask Meiyue to come over to talk.

This secret can only be kept hidden for a long time if they work together to protect it.

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

At night, Qiao Ran also had a good rest. Apart from spending some time to go to the frontier to check on the situation of Latias and the others, he basically just accompanied Miyue who launched a midnight attack.

However, Qiao Ran could also understand that they would probably have to fight continuously for a long time. If it were him, he would also take advantage of this time to do something more.

As for Lillie and the others, they don't have this opportunity because they have to challenge the gym tomorrow. In other words, the only one who can do this now is Mitsuki.

"I say, why don't you just go home tonight? Lillie's probably already..."
