Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"...You come from another world, and you have so many companions traveling with you. Even Capu Chou Chou likes you so much..."

Shui Lian glanced at Kapu Butterfly, who was lying in Qiao Ran's arms and seemed to have closed her eyes slightly and dozed off, and couldn't help but smile.

"so good."

She really envied Qiao Ran, and at the same time, she felt a sense of inexplicable excitement and joy in her heart.

Inviting him out tonight was indeed a very correct thing to do. The most important thing was that she felt that the distance between her and Qiao Ran was gradually shortening.

He is indeed a very nice person.

After bidding farewell to Shui Lian at night and watching her walk farther and farther away carrying her fishing rod, Qiao Ran also returned to the room carrying the napping Kapu Butterfly.

This guy was very excited when he saw him going out, but he fell asleep halfway.

"Sure enough, in the previous battle, besides Diancie's losses, she also suffered losses?"

Qiao Ran glanced at Kapu Dedede, put her on the bed, and carefully covered her with a blanket.

According to the principle of "force is mutual", since Diancie consumed a lot of physical strength, there is no reason for the defeated Tapu Butterfree to have no consumption at all. Although Tapu Butterfree is not Qiao Ran's Pokémon, Qiao Ran has no way to understand the other party's condition intuitively, but looking at her deep sleeping posture, he can probably see the other party's fatigue level.

She was indeed a little tired.

"If it's almost time, I should go to bed... If I don't sleep now, I really won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Shui Lian called him out in the middle of the night. Although Qiao Ran didn't feel that he had wasted his time, he also felt a lot more tired.

So, I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight.

Chapter 710

Time came to the second day.

Early in the morning, Qiao Ran and others came to Mao's house to have breakfast as agreed, and told Lizi and others about the things they needed to do before leaving.

The most important point was actually to explain his identity as coming from another world, and then hand over the supplies he had prepared before to them.

"...I'll leave these supplies to you for now. You need them more now. If you don't want them, just accept them now and return them to me later."

Taking into account the acceptance level of Lizzie and the others, Qiao Ran changed his words. He was not doing these things with the idea of ​​giving alms, he just hoped that he could be of some help.

"……All right."

After hearing Qiao Ran's rapid fire, Lizzie and Mao were stunned for a long time. How could they hear such explosive news when they just went out for breakfast and said goodbye?

Shui Lian, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. After hearing Qiao Ran say it again, she even felt like laughing.

After finishing the explanation with Lizmao and the others, Qiao Ran also looked towards Tapu Butterfly.

This is the last period of time.

Their next stop was Melemele Island, northwest of Alola. This island was just due west of Akala Island and was also the last stop before Qiao Ran and the others headed to Poni Island.

On this island, there is not only the largest city in the Alola region - Haole City, but also the only Pokémon Research Institute in the Alola region. The most important thing is that Mitsuki's mother also lives on this island.

Going home to see her mother has always been Miyue's wish.

"Okay, just send it here, Diedie."

Kapu-Che-Che followed Qiao Ran and his group all the way to the coast outside of Kaniko City. This place was facing the direction of Melemele Island. According to Lusamine's calculations, if they started from here, they should be able to reach the shortest perfect distance.

"You should go back and help the others on the island. They're all still waiting for you."

All the way, Kapu Tete followed behind him with her head slightly lowered.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, perhaps even less than a day together, Qiao Ran had still left a deep impression on her. Perhaps it was because her feelings were truly pure, or perhaps there was something else that touched him, but he was afraid that he would not forget those short twenty-four hours for a long time to come.

After a brief silence, Kapu Dede walked up and gave Qiao Ran a final hug. Then, her voice floated into the air and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Just as mysterious as an island god should be.

"That child...if there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely come to see you again."

Zhulan has already seen all of this. In fact, in her impression, there are probably not many Pokémon in the world that would care so much about a trainer they have just met not long ago.

In the end, most of these Pokémon became the best partners with the trainers they chose, and those trainers all had resounding names in the league.

"We'll definitely meet if there's a chance."

Qiao Ran smiled and shook his head. As he moved, the huge Yveltal appeared in front of him.

Kapu Tete has left to deal with her own affairs, and they naturally have their own journey to continue.

"Let's go, the next stop is Melemele Island."

"...I wonder what kind of person the Pokémon professor on that island is?"

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

In the Alola region, each island has its own characteristics. Poni Island has towering rocks and numerous canyons, while Ula'ula Island has two highest peaks. As for Melemele Island, it probably has regular land and a very special extinct volcano on the island.

Perhaps this place is indeed very suitable for human habitation, which is why the largest and most prosperous city in the Alola region has developed here. Moreover, this city is almost built around the beach of Melemele Island. Therefore, during the peak tourist season every year, many foreign tourists will come here from afar just to experience the beautiful beach scenery of Alola.

The beaches of Alola, no matter which island it is on, are the best business card of this place.

However, the straight-line distance from Akala Island to Melemele Island is not short. If Qiao Ran and others want to reach their destination, they will probably have to spend a lot of effort.

"...I don't know if it's just my imagination..."

On the way, Qiao Ran couldn't help but chat with others.

"What illusion?" Mei looked over curiously.

"There are fewer Ultra Beasts in the sea. If we had first come to the waters of Alola, the density would have been much higher than this."

Qiao Ran expressed his thoughts.

"It must be related to our previous actions."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Meiyue couldn't help but complain, this was simply a model of listening to the lord's words as if they were his own.

However, the journey on the sea was so boring that even if there was no other topic, Qiao Ran could only think of some words to continue. This would allow him to concentrate on dealing with the next battle without making himself feel sleepy.

"Oh, by the way, Lillie, didn't you guys go to the Aether... the breeding house earlier? What's the situation there?"

Suddenly, Qiao Ran remembered another thing. Unlike the other people who acted with him, he had no idea about Lillie and Lusamine's actions yesterday. Moreover, while they were talking over there, Qiao Ran was still sleeping soundly on the sofa.

He didn't hear a single specific word.

"They don't have any major problems, and Lizzie... I'm very supportive of their activities. It's just that they lack experience and conditions, so their Pokémon training methods may need some improvement."

Lillie was very understanding and helped Qiao Ran explain. She saw everything clearly when Qiao Ran was sleeping on the sofa before. However, she would not blame Qiao Ran. After all, he had experienced such a brutal battle. What's the harm in just lying down and resting for a while?

During the previous conversation, while Lusamine was the primary interlocutor, Lillie also had a clerk-like responsibility, recording key points. This was Lusamine's instruction. Of course, Lusamine had her own reasons for bringing Lillie along—she probably wanted her to learn some of her communication skills by bringing her along.

Seeing Liliae growing up and becoming more independent, Lusamine is actually very satisfied. However, if she wants to

If you want to be independent, the road ahead is still very long.

"That's it..."

After listening to Liliae's description, Qiao Ran almost understood the current situation.

Most of the facilities of the Ether Foundation on the island are of a public welfare nature, so these employees can still integrate into the life on the island after losing contact with the headquarters. However, the most touching thing is that after such a terrible disaster occurred and the headquarters had no contact, these former employees of the Ether Foundation still did not abandon the title of the Ether Foundation and still wore the white uniforms.

It can be seen that in the eyes of many people, this is still the "future agency" full of progress and humanitarianism. Even though Lusamine, as a senior executive, has done many wrong things, the consequences of those mistakes were mostly borne by Lusamine's own family.

"I've already told them about what happened on the main island, and they've agreed... to come and help me when I need them."

Lusamine, who was sitting behind Lillie, suddenly spoke up.

"It was my mistake that led to these consequences. I must also bring back those lost employees."

She still couldn't forget what happened in the past, or rather, these things had become a nightmare in Lusamine's heart. Ever since her husband disappeared, she had been losing something. Even though she had hardened her heart and done everything before, she still couldn't change the turbulence of her fate.

However, she still didn't want to give up. Even though the world had become such a mess, she still had a group of people who would support her.

It was the hopeful staff of the Ether Foundation and the children in the orphanage who made her rediscover the original intention of founding this organization.

"Mom...don't worry, we'll take our time and we'll definitely succeed."

Lillie also comforted Lusamine. After communicating for a few days, she and Lusamine gradually understood each other. The person in front of her was no longer the cold-blooded mother she used to be. She also had another side to her.

And most importantly, after Lillie's observation, she found that her mother's body seemed to be not as "healthy" as before, which could be observed in some small details. Lillie guessed that this was probably the sequelae of Xuwuide's long-term parasitism. Before, in the Aether Foundation, she herself was parasitized for a very long time, and Lusamine's time was many times longer than hers.

However, Lusamine seemed to have concealed these things on purpose.

"..."

Miyue on the side watched this scene silently, and gradually remembered something in her heart.

She had known about the relationship between Lillie and her mother since she first met Lillie, but she didn't expect that after so much time, such a huge change had occurred.

And...it won't be long before she reaches Melemele Island, her "home" in Alola.

However, the closer she got to her home, the more uneasy Mitsuki felt. She wasn't afraid of meeting her mother, or that she might be dissatisfied with her current performance. She was just a little... at a loss.

I wonder if my mother will ask about Qiao Ran later? How will she answer then? ...

"wrong."

Miyue suddenly remembered something and her expression suddenly turned bad.

It’s over.

Last night she actually forgot to find Qiao Ran to check her statement with him. If her mother found something strange and it didn't match, she would be completely finished.

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

This flight still took several hours. Even if a Pokémon of such strength accelerated its flight in the air, it still couldn't shorten the time too much. Although the Alola region is relatively small, it is still a "region".

The landing area where Qiao Ran and others landed on Melemele Island was actually also a golden sand beach. However, this beach was obviously much more "original" than the one they landed on Akala Island, and there were no holiday tents or chairs around.

"This... should be near the research institute, right?"

As soon as Meiyue set foot on this land, a strong feeling of nostalgia surged in her heart. Although she was very nervous on the way, once she really arrived here, all she thought about was how to get home as soon as possible and reunite with her mother.

The two of them came here from afar, and at the beginning, the only people they could rely on were each other. Her father was still working in other areas, and now she was the only one who could care for her mother.

Thinking of this, Mitsuki was also a little worried about her father's situation. However, compared with her father who was far away in the Kanto region, the only person she could reach now was her mother.

"I remember your house should be nearby, right?"

Qiao Ran patted Meiyue's shoulder, bringing her out of her daze.

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to remember something like this...did I tell you about this before?"

Meiyue couldn't help but ask, but she couldn't remember the details very clearly. With her current relationship with Qiao Ran, it wouldn't be too strange for her to tell him anything. Maybe she would

It might be worth mentioning it once.

"Of course I remember that kind of thing."

Qiao Ran smiled mysteriously.

This is the island where the protagonist of the Alola region was "born", and the protagonist's "home" is one he has entered countless times in the game.

And in this world, that is also Mitsuki's home and the destination of their journey.

"Okay, where should we go now?"

Mitsuki shrugged.

"I'm quite familiar with this island, so let me lead the way."

She might not be so familiar with the terrain of other islands, but as for this island, it was like coming home.

No one present here understands better than her.

Chapter 711 [Trainer on the Island]

"...Um, although it may not be nice to disturb you right now, can I give you a heads up?"

After hearing the conversation between Qiao Ran and Miyue, Lusamine spoke.

"According to our previous contact with Dr. Kukui, it seems that everyone on the island has gathered in Haole City, the only major city on the island."

"If we want to look for someone, we should just go over there."

Previously on Ula'ula Island, scientists such as Ma Ruiyin had teamed up with Lusamine to establish a brief contact with the elf doctor Kukui on the island. It was at that time that they obtained information about the island and confirmed the safety of Miyuki's mother.

"That's right... After all, there are so many people on the island. If there are Ultra Beasts here, they can't be scattered everywhere."

Miyue was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.

Speaking of which, the combat power of their Melemele Island cannot be considered outstanding among the other islands. Unlike other islands that have two or three captains, Melemele Island only has one captain who specializes in normal-type and an island king. As for that Pokémon Doctor, although some people say that he has strength close to the league champion, Mitsuki has never fought a Pokémon battle with him, so she doesn't really believe these things.
