Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

When gods fight, it is the mortals on earth who suffer in the end. Qiao Ran even wants to grow wings on the spot. The power of Evergreen and the power of waveguide are actually external things. Being able to take off on the spot is the most useful thing.

However, thinking about it was just thinking after all. He could only flee to another floating island in a panic. In the sky, two Pokémon of similar size, with their bodies mostly made of pink, were confronting each other with moves. Every move they made used skills that were dozens of times larger than their own bodies.

Originally, Capu Butterfly's target was Qiao Ran, but now it has completely shifted to Diancie. This guy has a similar figure to her, and is also pink. He is really unpleasant no matter how you look at him.

The most important thing is that when those skills hit herself, they really brought unforgettable pain to Tapu Butterfly.

"..."

At this point in the battle, there are basically no fancy techniques. Both sides are legends that have surpassed the level of ordinary Pokémon, and each side has its own strengths.

All Qiao Ran can do now is to give orders at critical moments and use the power of Evergreen to help Diancie increase her endurance. As for the rest of the time, he can only run around on the floating island, hoping not to fall into the bottomless abyss below.

Diancie's strength is much stronger than that of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Even if she can't defeat the opponent directly, she can still deal with the opponent through her superior defense. As for winning, at least in the minds of Diancie or Qiao Ran, it is basically a sure thing.

——No matter what, they are indeed the most tacit pair of partners.

Even when facing one of the most difficult island gods, they can have a relatively clear expectation, and even without any words to communicate, they can understand what they need to do to achieve the same goal.

Although dangerous situations may arise during the execution, both Qiao Ran and Diancie understand that if they really encounter danger, they will have the other party's support.

This time, they can't fall here.

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

"call……"

In the broken world, the battle is finally coming to an end.

But just like last time, Qiao Ran had no strength left in his body. He could only lie on the ground of the floating island and watch the battle situation on Diancie's side.

At this time, Diancie had floated in front of Tapu Butterfree, who was in a state of being at the end of her strength, and then solidified the diamond into a pink big sword, and slammed her opponent to the ground of the floating island, directly creating a big hole.

Diancie even went to check carefully, and when she saw that Tapu Butterfly had really fallen to the ground, and that she had not suddenly fallen asleep but that her eyes were rolling around, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike other Pokémon, Diancie is obviously cautious and reliable like a rock-type Pokémon. If she sees that the opponent is still alive, she will most likely take action to finish him off.

"Master, it's over."

Compared to Tapu Butterfly who had already fallen to the ground, Diancie still had some strength left. However, she knew very well that all this strength was actually transferred to her by Qiao Ran after he used the power of Tokiwa. As for Qiao Ran himself, he had already fallen to the ground and couldn't even straighten his back.

"Okay...okay."

The constant running and jumping, combined with commanding Pokémon into battle and constantly healing Diancie, is simply not something a human can do. If such a rule were introduced to current league competitions, the number of trainers would likely be decimated—all of them would die from exhaustion.

"But if you can win... you did well, Diancie."

Looking at the Diamond Princess in front of him, Qiao Ran directly hugged the other's somewhat cold body into his arms. As long as he could overcome the danger and achieve the set goal, even if he was a little tired, it would be nothing.

"

Rest well when you get back, and don't rush to the next place."

Diancie also leaned on Qiao Ran. Qiao Ran had told her about his next plan before, but judging from Qiao Ran's current condition, it was obviously unlikely for him to rush to the next island.

Just being an island god was enough to make Qiao Ran exhausted. The most important thing was that this time he was the only one who entered this strange space.

"I don't know why this happened... If Zhulan was here, this match would have been much easier, right?"

With Zhulan's strength, it is not impossible for her to deal with Tapu Butterfly. However, when Qiao Ran shifted his gaze slightly and saw a large pile of floating island fragments floating around, he still paused.

"No, maybe not necessarily?"

Although Zhulan is stronger than him, but... the other party may not be able to run as fast as him.

The most important thing is that, with the figures of Takeran or Mei, it is obvious that neither Mitsuki nor she can run. If Qiao Ran has to choose, he would rather Mitsuki appear here together. Her sniper tree owl seems to be better at this form of combat.

Qiao Ran and Diancie talked briefly for a while, and soon, they stood up and walked towards the pit where Tapu Butterfly fell.

When looking up at the sky from the ground, Qiao Ran always thought that Diancie's figure was actually not much different from that of Tapu Butterfly. But only now did Qiao Ran finally realize that Tapu Butterfly, whose body was contained in the "jar", seemed to be a little bigger than Diancie with the jar.

"Master, she's glowing...!"

Suddenly, a strong light emanated from the fallen Capu Butterfly. Diancie alertly stepped in front of Qiao Ran. Could this guy actually be playing dead?

"It's okay, it should be the same as last time..."

Sure enough, just as Qiao Ran expected, after Capu Butterfly's body emitted light, her body turned into star-like light and disappeared into the space. The space around Qiao Ran and Diancie also trembled, as if time was going backwards, and the broken floating islands were gradually closing together.

The past scenes of the Life Ruins were also replayed in front of Qiao Ran and Diancie.

Chapter 700 [Butterfly]

The past of the Ruins of Life is not much different from that of the Ruins of Harvest. It has basically risen and fallen with the rise and fall of Alola. However, the only thing that has not changed is that a large number of people come to the Ruins of Life to pay homage and visit almost every year. Unlike the Ruins of Harvest which are now located in the desert, the area where the Ruins of Life are located is a vibrant hilly area. Moreover, in order to protect the environment here, the residents of Akala Island have not carried out any development in this area.

The only "development" may be the cemetery located in the "Hill of Memories".

Most of those who come and go to the Harvest Ruins are also visitors who come to pay homage to their deceased relatives.

As the god of life in Alola, Tapu Butterfly has been fulfilling her responsibilities as the god of the island for a long time. She will protect the things she likes without hesitation, but when faced with things she doesn't like, she will destroy them herself.

Tapu Chou's innocence makes the residents of Alola more and more in awe of this moody island god. Even among the four Tapu, she is the one mentioned most often.

"..."

When Qiao Ran and Diancie regained consciousness, there was a faint light in front of their eyes.

That is the light of the sun, something that cannot exist in that broken world.

"Diancie?"

"Dee?"

Qiao Ran and Diancie looked at each other, and after confirming that the other party was fine, they quickly looked around them.

The place where they were at this moment was exactly inside the remains of life, at the central sacrificial hall. In the hall, there was no trace of the black and purple mist from before. Bright sunlight also shone in from some holes above, illuminating the entire "cave" extremely brightly.

——Beside them, several girls and Pokémon were standing in a circle, looking at each other in confusion.

"Just...just now?" Mei's face was full of confusion.

"...I...where is this?"

Zhulan also stretched out her hand. In her memory, it seemed like just now...

Probably... she and Qiao Ran were covering the rear, and then Qiao Ran pulled her to escape?

"Ah! That one over there is..."

Suddenly, Acerola, who was standing nearby, shouted and pointed to the entrance of the cave, where a blue-haired girl was lying straight.

"Water lotus!"

Acerola quickly ran over and observed the other person's condition, but the other person looked like he had lost consciousness. No matter how much Acerola shouted, the other person did not wake up and respond to him.

"Is she okay?"

Several other people also gathered around with some concern. Although they themselves did not understand the current situation, the unconscious Shui Lian still made everyone a little worried.

"Let me take a look."

Qiao Ran stepped forward, stretched out his hand and placed it on her shoulder, using the power of the wave to feel her vitality.

Soon

Then he opened his eyes again.

"...Everything is normal. He should just have fainted normally. He will probably wake up in a while."

As the controller of the wave power, although Qiao Ran had no way to diagnose Shui Lian directly, there was no problem in simply observing the other party's vitality and mental strength. From these aspects, it could be seen what Shui Lian's current situation was.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

After hearing what Qiao Ran said, Acerola and the others felt relieved.

Qiao Ran took his hand away from Shui Lian and prepared to stand up from the ground. However, having consumed a lot of energy before, he obviously overestimated his condition and staggered to the ground.

Zhulan quickly supported Qiao Ran and looked at his face with some suspicion.

"Are you OK?"

"…It's okay. Something just happened when you came to your senses."

Qiao Ran did not reject Zhu Lan's kindness. He was indeed a little tired now.

"Something happened..."

After pondering Qiao Ran's words and thinking about the changes that had taken place in the ruins of life, the people present basically came to their senses. After all... something like this had happened before.

"Wait, are you alone over there again?"

Zhu Lan also looked at Qiao Ran in surprise.

"...I held your hand at that time, but now...you are still alone..."

"Ah."

Qiao Ran himself didn't know the specific circumstances and why, but this was all he could remember.

"Maybe... these methods don't work."

Although Qiao Ran didn't think that holding hands could completely prevent this situation from happening from the beginning, it was still a good idea, and it made sense to make some beneficial attempts.

In the following time, Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan briefly talked about their situation there, mainly about the battle with Tapu Butterfly and some things they heard on the other side of the light ball.

However, before Qiao Ran could finish his words, a ray of light suddenly lit up from the center of the sacrificial hall, at the altar above the stairs.

——It was a light with a faint pink hue. Qiao Ran had seen this color countless times in that broken world.

As the light grew more dazzling, a Pokémon with pink hair and a black body, with its lower half almost entirely contained in a cocoon-shaped jar, appeared in front of everyone.

This is none other than Tapu-Che-Che, the island god of Alola Akala Island.

"..."

Everyone watched this scene quietly. If Shui Lian was still awake at this time, she would probably scream in surprise.

“te…tete…”

As soon as she appeared in front of everyone, Tapu Tete used her big eyes to curiously observe the people standing in front of her. Different from the image she had seen in the broken world before, Tapu Tete at this time had obviously returned to normal.

Her eyes swept over everyone, and finally, when she saw Qiao Ran and Diancie, her gaze stopped there.

“tete!”

Kapu Tete rushed over and threw herself on Qiao Ran enthusiastically, with an excited smile on her face, expressing her feelings as purely as a child.

"It...seems to like you very much?"

The girls standing by were all surprised. Logically speaking, this was the first time Qiao Ran and Kapu Didi met, so how could they be so close?

“…Ha…haha.” Qiao Ran was also a little at a loss. Diancie beside him was also frozen in place. She probably didn’t expect that the Pokémon that fought against her in that broken space would be such a guy.

Faced with Tapu Butterfly's enthusiasm, Qiao Ran had no way to explain anything. The humans might not understand Tapu Butterfly's words, but Diancie knew it very well. This guy kept shouting that he loved her and then pounced on her. Isn't this too outrageous?

"..."

However, Diancie had no intention of explaining for the time being since Qiao Ran didn't ask.

"Okay, okay, let's not do this for now."

Qiao Ran was already a little weak, and with Kapu Butterfly constantly pouncing on him, he had no way to respond to her enthusiasm.

“tete.”

Tapu Chou Chou raised her head and seemed to have noticed what had happened, but soon she clapped her hands and laughed again.

She left Qiao Ran's arms and floated into the air. Then, some scales emitting star-like luster scattered from under her body and landed on Qiao Ran and others.

"this is……"

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand and looked at his palm.

When these scales fell on his body, they gradually disappeared after a while, just like snowflakes - and a force also entered his body, quickly eliminating the injuries on his body and replenishing the consumed energy.

The same went for the other people, who all looked at their bodies curiously. Although they were not injured, they still felt that their spirits seemed to have improved a lot.

Even the lying water lily,

The originally frowned brows also relaxed.

"Is this the power of the Island God?"

Zhulan looked at the magical scene happening in front of her and nodded slightly.

As the god of life in Alola, Capu Butterfree's scale powder does have its own unique features, especially for Qiao Ran. This ability has refreshed his cognition. You know... for a long time before, there was no way to replenish his "energy" after it was consumed. He could only wait for his body to recover slowly. But as for Capu Butterfree, her scale powder actually has the effect of restoring his energy.

“tete!”
