Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Miyue's mother naturally saw through her daughter's thoughts, so she simply skipped dinner and took Miyue directly to the outpost at the edge of the city, where she found Hala and Barnett waiting there.

Unexpectedly, Lillie and Lusamine also came here later.

"You go ahead, Mitsuki. Don't worry about me."

Next to Miyue, Miyue's mother also gave her daughter a final hug.

"Didn't you say you had to go somewhere else afterward?"

Now that the biggest problem has been solved, Qiao Ran and others will definitely not stay here for too long. Today might be their last night here, and Meiyue's mother already knows Meiyue's thoughts.

She must have a lot to say to her companions.

On this last day, Miyue also lived in the same place as Qiao Ran. After Miyue's mother left and Miyue went to check the room alone, Lusamine also came to find Qiao Ran.

"I'm leaving tomorrow..."

She suddenly spoke as if she was just chatting.

"Oh, by the way, that mother also told me something very interesting before."

"..."

Looking at Lusamine's unpredictable expression, Qiao Ran's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Wait, what is going on???

What did you say???

"She asked me about your relationship with Mitsuki. She must have misunderstood when you asked Mitsuki to go out earlier."

Seeing that Qiao Ran looked a little nervous, Lusamine explained directly.

"So don't worry. I helped explain it to her and dispelled her concerns. After all, this is a special period, and it's not easy for you and Lillie to come forward and explain all this."

Qiao Ran: “…”

Qiao Ran opened his mouth and said, "Is it...is it still possible to be like this?"

However, after hearing what Lusamine said, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Fortunately, nothing bad happened.

"but-

—”

However, Lusamine suddenly changed the subject while speaking.

"You'd better be careful and don't do anything to let me down..."

Looking at that sharp gaze and half-smile, Qiao Ran couldn't help but shudder. This girl was indeed serious, and her aura was much stronger than that of other girls.

"And I'm sorry for Lillie's actions."

"okokokok."

Qiao Ran could only nod his head repeatedly, indicating that he would never do anything presumptuous towards Meiyue in the future.

...As for those that have already been done, I'm afraid there is no way.

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

At night, Qiao Ran specially gathered all the girls and talked with them in detail about what happened today.

Especially Mitsuki and Lillie, they were unable to be present due to their own matters, but it was necessary to tell them what happened here.

"It was mainly after we entered the ruins... You know Zhulan, right?"

“Well, we were…”

Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan looked at each other and began to review what happened at that time. However, when they heard that Qiao Ran went to that space and summoned Zhu Lan, everyone was stunned.

Especially when they heard how Qiao Ran summoned Zhulan, everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Can it still be like this?"

Just because Zhulan came to mind, I called Zhulan out as well???

"Well... I don't know the specific reason, but... I think there should be a connection, right?"

Qiao Ran didn't know whether it was a constant truth that whatever you thought of could come out, but judging from the current situation, it seemed to be the case.

"It's a good thing that Tapu Butterfly suddenly appeared, otherwise we would be in real trouble."

"yes……"

As Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan spoke, they both nodded at the same time, recalling the thrilling scenes in that space. Those scenes seemed to be still engraved in their minds.

At that time, they truly felt like they had reached a dead end, and had even prepared themselves for the end. Fortunately... Kapu Butterfly appeared before them like a miracle.

"After we visit the last island and reach the Moon Altar, if we have time, we can go see her again."

"Ah."

This time, even Zhulan, who had originally said she was in a hurry, agreed with Qiao Ran. They really couldn't repay Kapu Butterfly for her help this time...

Chapter 725 [The Last Island]

In every adventure, there are always some unexpected things that happen, which deviate from their original ideas. However, as the exploration deepens, Qiao Ran's understanding of that world is also further deepened, which can be regarded as rare good news.

After Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan explained what happened inside, Lillie and Mitsuki also talked about what they had done today. Lillie and Lusamine's mission was actually similar to the previous island, which was to meet with the members of the Ether Foundation on the island and explain to them the future course of action. With such a big thing happening, it was not easy to continue to maintain the operation of the organization, but neither Lusamine nor Lillie seemed to intend to let the Ether Foundation collapse.

Especially after Lillie traveled around so many islands and saw the contributions of other current foundation members to Alola, she became more determined in this idea.

As for Miyue, things were much simpler. She just spent a very ordinary day with her mother. They chatted a lot and then had dinner together.

"so good……"

Mei and the others were very envious of Mitsuki being able to see her family and have a good rest. After all, their home was still very far away.

"Get some rest tonight, and tomorrow we'll... well, set off in the afternoon."

Considering that everyone has been fighting all day, it would be a bit difficult to set off early tomorrow morning. Let’s not talk about his and Takelan’s situation for now. The key point is that Mei and Acerola have been fighting outside for an hour. They are the most tired.

"There's only one small town on Poni Island where we can rest. I guess we'll have to fly until tonight and then rest there for the night. If that doesn't work... we'll just have to think of a solution along the way."

Poni Island, the last island of Alola, is almost completely undeveloped and pristine compared to other islands in Alola. It does not serve as a tourist attraction. In fact, the only human settlement on the island is only at the level of a "village", and even the houses and major facilities are made of ships.

The people there call this village the "Village of Ocean Dwellers". The residents here use boats as their homes and only dock on the village's pier when they are resting.

Qiao Ran even had some doubts. After such a big incident, wouldn't all the villagers have already run away?

Moreover, considering that Lusamine couldn't go with them

If they went directly to the real world and found nothing, they would really have to camp among a pile of strange beasts...

"that……"

As if she sensed something, Liliae took the initiative to speak.

"Actually, Mom said she won't go to the last island. She will probably stay here after that."

"Ok?"

Qiao Ran looked at her with some surprise.

"It's like this. There are very few signs of human activity on Poni Island, making it a very good nature reserve. Therefore, there's no need for the Ether Foundation to operate there. We only visit the island for field research. As for normal operations, we don't have a permanent station."

Lillie explained in detail that after working with Lusamine for so long, Lillie also learned a lot of information about the operation of the Aether Foundation. These things... are things that the original Lusamine would never tell her.

"Also... Mom said she has something to research with Dr. Barnett. Once Melemele Island returns to normal, they will go to the Space Research Institute on Akala Island together."

"Yeah……"

Dr. Barnett is indeed a very important person. Lusamine must have found her because of her own obsession.

Qiao Ran shook his head helplessly. Everyone has their own ideas. As long as it is acceptable and does not hurt others, he has no objection.

Besides, he was quite nervous about having Lusamine following him all the time, especially after what she said to him before. If she knew the current situation of Lillie, Mei Mitsuki and the others, wouldn't she send the entire Aether Foundation to hunt him down on the spot?

Lilia: “?”

Suddenly feeling Qiao Ran staring at her, a question mark appeared on Lillie's head, but soon she lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

No...no way, I just said that mom won’t go with you. Is he...is he hinting at something to me?

Qiao Ran: “???”

Seeing Liliae's expression, Qiao Ran immediately had two question marks popping up in his head. Wait...what happened?

Did I say anything weird?

"Cough...cough cough."

Soon, the others present also noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, especially Mitsuki and Mei, who started coughing.

What the hell are you two doing? What if Acerola, Zhulan, and the others find out?

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

The night's conversation ended in a strange atmosphere. Fortunately, Zhulan and Acerola were both tired today and didn't notice anything strange.

"Hey."

Qiao Ran was lying in bed alone. So much had happened today, and most likely no one would disturb him tonight. But speaking of it, ever since he started to get busy with things in Alola, he had less time to spend with his Pokémon and to live in the real world. Over time, Qiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

The most important thing is that he was a little too tired.

"Hopefully the Pokémon world can return to normal soon."

——This is what he has been looking forward to.

Time quickly came to the next day. Qiao Ran and others who participated in the battle last night deliberately slept a little longer, while Miyue and Liliae got up very early. After all, they might have to say goodbye to their mother today, and the remaining few hours of the day would be the last time they would spend together.

"I hope you have a safe journey. The people of Melemele Island will remember what you have done."

The king of the island, Hala, specially prepared a sumptuous banquet for several people. From the morning, other people on the island were busy in order to offer their own thoughts.

"Once the Alola Alliance is built, I'll go get some investment and help you put up a few statues at the entrance. How about that?"

Dr. Kukui, who was standing nearby, put his arm around Dr. Barnett's neck and spoke with a smile. It was unclear whether he was just trying to stir up trouble or if he really meant it.

If the Alola League is truly established, with statues and all... can it really attract investment? ...No, that's not right. Within Alola, the first person who comes to mind for such investment is a certain chairman, right?

Qiao Ran’s expression froze for a moment.

If it were her...if Lillie was inside the statue, she might actually give the money. After all, for Lusamine, money and other things are minor issues; the key is the other things that come with it.

"..."

Qiao Ran suddenly became a little worried about the future of Alola. After all, these were quite reckless guys. God knew what kind of trouble they would make in the future. It was quite scary to think about it.

"Lilia, you guys have to do your best from now on. I won't hold you back any more."

Lusamine also gave some instructions to Qiao Ran and others.

"Also, remember what I said before. Before going to the Moon Altar, go to Coconut Tree Island and get the flute used for the sacrifice. It was specially stored on the island."

In the Alola region, Poni Island is the last island that has not been developed. In addition to being unsuitable for human settlement, it is also because

This place holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Alola. Several important altars and storage locations for important items are located here. This is also the final battlefield where the two ancient mythical beasts, the "Sun" and the "Moon", saved Alola. The Moon Altar was built to commemorate this.

"Don't worry, we will definitely go."

Qiao Ran assured her that they would naturally keep this matter in mind. Lusamine had said it so many times, they would definitely not forget it.

By blowing the sacrificial Moon Flute at the Moon Altar and then using the Sun Flute for a concerto, the true power of the Children of the Stars can be invoked, which is also one of their ultimate goals in coming to Alola.

——Small Nebula.

It has been sleeping for too long, and it is time to wake up.

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

Before leaving, Qiao Ran also handed over the supplies he was going to leave behind to Lusamine. As Lusamine planned to stay here, Qiao Ran directly handed over the food, clothes and other things that he was going to leave for the island to Lusamine for safekeeping. With his financial resources, he could not afford to buy a lot of resources, so these things were basically some small gifts and some small thoughts from him.

"Don't worry, I'll use it well." Lusamine nodded and smiled. These things were rare items at this time. She would naturally use them to her advantage.

The time of parting is always sad. It's not so bad for Lillie, but it's mainly for Mitsuki. They have just met for more than a day and they have to leave each other. For this mother and daughter, it is indeed a very difficult thing to accept. However, after all, they both have experience as Pokémon trainers. No matter how difficult it is for them to accept it, they can accept it all.

"keko."

Tapu Moo Moo also appeared in front of everyone to see them off. Perhaps because it had no way to return to its own ruins now, it did not take out its own collection of pure Z crystals to give to Qiao Ran and others like the other two Tapu. However, in the last period of time, it still gave Qiao Ran and others a very serious blessing.

No matter how hard it tried to be stubborn, it was very grateful for the help from Qiao Ran and the others. Of course... if it weren't for the influence of Diedie, it might not have felt so awkward.

After finishing everything, Qiao Ran and the others also started to head towards the last island, Poni Island. This journey would probably take quite some time.

The terrain of Poni Island is basically a large canyon composed of various uneven yellow rocks. There are also green plants in some places, but these places are relatively rare. It is precisely because of this special terrain that some special Pokémon will only live on this island.
