Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"After you've been to Sister Lizzie's house, why don't you come to my house for dinner? Since you're ready to leave tomorrow, we have to treat you well."

Mao once again invited Qiao Ran and others to her restaurant for dinner. As someone who aspires to be a super chef, cooking is not a difficult thing. On the contrary, being able to have such a group of people come to her house for dinner may be an opportunity for their family.

If possible, it can be framed later.

For example, a slogan like "Our owner, Mao, once made delicious food that the Sinnoh champion praised endlessly."

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is also reality, right?

Mao and Suiren were talking excitedly about what happened next, but after hearing their words, the Kapu Butterfly floating in the air lowered its head in disappointment.

"tete..."

Are they leaving tomorrow?

This may be the first time that Tapu Tete has been so interested in a human being, not only because the other party helped her when she was most desperate, but also because the other party's performance in that world refreshed her understanding of what a human being can do.

The most important thing is that she saw everything about the cooperation and affection between him and the pink stone, not to mention that there seemed to be some kind of aura about the other person that she liked very much.

Kapu Tete's love is pure love for the other person, she does not hide this feeling, but when it comes to leaving, she still can't help feeling sad.

As the god of land, she does have her own tasks to complete, and the other party has to go to more places. There are Tapu who need help on other islands.

She couldn't change all of this at this stage.

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

Before dinner, Qiao Ran and others came to Lizzie's home again. Her home was actually a small building with three or four floors. There was a shop on the ground floor and a residence on the upper floor. However, as soon as Lizzie saw Qiao Ran and others, she was immediately attracted by Diancie. As a rock expert and a gem lover - this was indeed a very professional match.

Even in the Pokémon world, this guy is probably one of the best Diancie chefs.

"That's amazing! I can actually make diamonds with my bare hands! Oh my god...it's amazing!"

Seeing how Diancie could create pink diamond-shaped objects like magic with just a stretch of her hands, Lizzie had completely forgotten to introduce her own gemstone crafts and was completely immersed in Diancie's world.

How many people would envy this ability? Almost every gem craftsman would probably dream of having this power, right?

"...It's said that the principle is to utilize the carbon element in the air, but I don't quite understand the details."

Qiao Ran explained it briefly, but he couldn't explain anything specific. Although Diancie understood the operation of her power and could describe it to Qiao Ran, the "way of understanding" used by Diancie was quite Pokémon's way of understanding. If he wanted to transform it into a scientific theory that humans could understand, it would probably not be something he, a Pokémon trainer, could accomplish.

If he could understand, even just a little bit, he might even become a founding father of a new school of thought in the Pokémon world, leading humanity into the age of immortal cultivation.

"It's amazing...it really is a diamond, sparkling brightly."

"Uh-huh."

Mao and Shuilian were also attracted by Diancie, and their eyes were twinkling.

Although they have different hobbies, as ordinary girls, how can they resist the charm of these diamonds? Unlike those naturally formed gems, the diamonds made by Diancie seem to have a more special "feeling", a special and mysterious beauty.

"so beautiful……"

However, just as everyone was looking at the diamond flower in Diancie's hand, the pink flower suddenly shattered, turned into points of light, and disappeared into the air.

A trace of surprise flashed across everyone's face, even Tapu Butterfly who was watching on the side was startled.

She quite liked that thing...why is it gone?

"...Diamonds made by Diancie cannot last forever, unless they are eternal diamonds."

Qiao Ran gave a brief explanation and answered everyone's doubts. Under normal circumstances, Diancie's ability to make diamonds cannot permanently change the properties of objects. Although after putting in more effort, it is possible to make stones that can last for a long time, but eternal diamonds have special meaning to both Diancie and Qiao Ran. Under normal circumstances, Diancie will not show these in front of others.

The only people she will give eternal diamond products to are the ones she will be with forever.

"Eternal Diamond..."

“…That sounds amazing.”

Mao and Shui Lian became even more excited. Diamond combined with the word eternity made it even more powerful.

Looking at the two people's expectant eyes that seemed to be about to pounce on her, Diancie was also in a dilemma. Finally, Qiao Ran pretended to take something out of his bag and took out one of Diancie's old practice items, and finally got away with it.

Although it will not be given to the other party, there is still no problem in viewing it.

"Eternal Diamond... Really? This is the Eternal Diamond."

Not only Shui Lian and Mao were watching attentively, but even Lizi rushed over. Her expression was extremely excited, and her breathing was as heavy as if she had just run a marathon downstairs.

"...The appearance... is absolutely first-rate. No, it is impossible for something naturally formed in the real world to reach this level."

"The most important thing is that the only one who can produce this mineral is Diancie!"

The so-called "priceless" may be used to describe things like this.

Generally speaking, things produced by Legendary Pokémon are very rare "hard currency" in the human world. Moltres' fire can be regarded as the sacred fire of the Pokémon League, and Ho-Oh's feathers are the supreme treasure. These things are special products that can only be produced by a single Legendary Pokémon. In this Pokémon-centered world, these are real "treasures."

"..."

Faced with this situation, Diancie could only watch helplessly. Even she herself didn't know that she was so popular in the Pokémon world.

However, this feeling is pretty good.

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

"Thank you for helping our island, thank you for saving Capu Chou."

"Yeah, yeah, these are some of our gifts...something we can take with us on the road."

At dinner time, Mao's parents and brother not only prepared dinner for Qiao Ran and others, but also made some "dry food" that they could carry with them. It seemed that they spent a lot of time on it.

Qiao Ran did not refuse and accepted them all. He did need food, and now that there was Kapu Butterfly on Akala Island, there would be no shortage of food.

During dinner, many nearby residents wanted to come and give gifts to Qiao Ran and the others, but Qiao Ran refused them on the grounds that it was inconvenient to take them. Although their kindness was very touching, they did not come here to receive any gifts.

There are still many battles waiting for them in the coming time.

"...at night, there will be something very beautiful..."

Suddenly, while eating, Shui Lian started talking to herself.

"Ok?"

Qiao Ran looked at the other person curiously, but she quickly turned her head away.

"…Nothing, I was just daydreaming."

"...?"

Shui Lian said that she had nothing to say and then started to eat again. However, a question mark popped up in Qiao Ran's head.

What? What night? What beautiful thing? Why are you talking halfway?

Wait... is this some new fishing technique?

Chapter 708 [Beautiful Things]

Today is our second night on Akala Island.

Unlike the real world, Alola, located in the tropics, has summer almost all year round, while the real world is almost entering autumn, so the temperature difference between the two is quite obvious.

"..."

Just like yesterday, Qiao Ran and the others were still staying in the "temporary hotel" that was arranged for them. Although Lizzie had mobilized people in the city today, it would still take a long time to restore Akara Island to its original state, and now Qiao Ran and the others had to bear with it.

"...In that case, go to bed early."

Qiao Ran glanced at the moon and stars outside the window, then closed the window of the room. He didn't know if it was because Alola was more pristine, but the starry sky here was indeed very beautiful. No wonder Alola was able to attract investment from the alliance and build an observatory when it was relatively desolate.

“tete.”

In the room, the only Pokémon left were

I got a Kapu Butterfly.

Qiao Ran's Pokémon also returned to the frontier to rest. Even Diancie did not stay. After experiencing such a fierce battle, she knew that she should go to the frontier to recover her strength instead of staying by Qiao Ran's side willfully... Although this annoying pink can was always hanging around Qiao Ran, it would all be over tomorrow anyway.

"...I'm going to rest. You need to sleep too, right?"

Although Qiao Ran didn't understand what she was saying and there was no Rotom to translate, but looking at Tapu Butterfly's expression, Qiao Ran had guessed it almost exactly.

This guy seemed to really like her. The closer it got to the time of leaving, the sadder her expression became. It was really written all over her face.

"It's not like we won't have the chance to meet again in the future. I'll come find you when you're done with your own things."

Tapu Moo had said something similar to Qiao Ran before, which roughly meant that it would lend a helping hand when Qiao Ran needed help.

"If you insist on traveling with me... can you leave here?"

“tete.”

Tapu Chou Chou nodded seriously. Of course she could leave the island.

Although she is the god of the island, there is no rule that the god of the island must stay on the island. The land god and the earthbound spirit are still different.

"If you're still willing to go with me then, let's go see the bigger world together."

When coming out of that strange space, Qiao Ran also witnessed the past of the remains of life and watched the Tapu guarding this land for thousands of years. Maybe they already had deep feelings for this place, but compared to the bigger world, this is ultimately just a small island surrounded by sea water.

"..."

Kapu Diedie looked into Qiao Ran's eyes. She had no objection at all and just continued to nod.

However, when she finally made this decision, it would definitely be when she had cleaned up everything on the island. She definitely couldn't just abandon all the Pokémon and humans here and leave.

"That's good. I'm going to sleep first."

Qiao Ran smiled and climbed onto the bed to sleep and recover his strength.

However, before he could finish his words, he heard a crisp sound, and then something shining was placed on the windowsill, which he had not yet closed.

“……?” Qiao Ran blinked, completely unaware of what was going on.

"......?" Tapu Tete was suddenly interrupted by the voice and tilted her head in confusion.

"What on earth is it?"

Qiao Ran, who had just laid down, stood up again and could only walk to the bed to try to confirm it. However, when he actually came to the window, he found that the body of the thing seemed to be beyond his expectations.

This curved shape, these sharp spikes, this metallic exterior… Wait, is this a claw?? …No, this is a fishhook??

Following the light of the moon, Qiao Ran saw a swaying silver thread outside the window, so he opened the window directly, wanting to see clearly what was happening outside.

Have the people of Alola become so simple and honest?

However, when Qiao Ran carefully walked to the window and saw the scene below through the glass, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"...Shuilian?"

Standing downstairs was a girl with short blue hair. She seemed to be holding a long fishing rod in her hand, and what was hooked on Qiao Ran's window was the masterpiece of her fishing rod.

"I'm on the second floor, right?"

And it's night time now, how can she hit this place directly? ?

Wow, if this really was replaced with a hook claw, she might actually be able to become an agent or something.

Like Qiao Ran, Shui Lian below seemed to have noticed Qiao Ran at the window, so she waved at him, as if she wanted to say something.

Did she have something important to say? Or...

"...Forget it, it seems like I really can't sleep now."

Qiao Ran smiled helplessly. Thinking of what Shui Lian had left unfinished at the dinner table, he guessed that the other party might have come just for this sentence.

If he pretended not to see it this time, he would probably be lying on the bed with his mind full of what Shui Lian said afterwards... and so on.

When Kapu Didi saw that Qiao Ran suddenly had the idea of ​​not sleeping again, a smile appeared on her face and she clapped happily.

“Tete, tete!”

She also wanted to go out and play with Qiao Ran.

Of course, the longer we can spend together, the better.

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

"Here here."

When he came downstairs, Qiao Ran saw the sneaky Shui Lian waving at him at a glance.

She was wearing the same loose clothes as usual, and holding a long fishing rod in her hand. It seemed that she had retrieved the fish hook that had been hooked on his windowsill.

"...It's so late, what are you doing?"

Although there is no internet or other entertainment options in Alola, Qiao Ran slept well tonight.

It's earlier than usual, but normally no one would come to see him at this time, right?
