Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"But, I'm not really good at teaching. I said I wanted to teach Lillie, but I'm only average at that."

Jasmine was still very humble in her words, and she also had her own concerns. As the captain here, she still had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible for her to just be a painter.

"It's just...if I have time in the future, I'll do some research and we can try it again."

Jasmine looked towards where Qiao Ran was. Although she had rejected this proposal for now, she did not want to give up completely. The existence of the "other world" was almost as tempting as the "legend". In the other world, there must be many breathtaking scenes.

At this moment, Mitsuki and Mei, who had been out for a walk, almost ran back. They had just gone to see the coconut trees deep in the island.

"Wow...the coconut palm trees on this island are really amazing."

"Yes, it's more than ten meters high. We have to fly up to it to see its head!"

Mitsuki and Mei were talking to each other. Although there had been some minor frictions in their relationship due to certain things before, it seemed that they had reconciled now.

Given the tacit understanding between the two of them, there probably wouldn't be anything awkward about traveling together.

After all, they are all carved from the same mold.

Chapter 730 [The Eve]

At night, Qiao Ran and others had dinner at Jasmine's place. Since he had already revealed that he came from another world, Qiao Ran blatantly took out the food that was originally placed in the frontier. Although they would not eat the entire village bankrupt with a meal here, in order not to increase the burden on these ocean residents, it was also possible for Jasmine and others to taste the long-lost delicacies.

"...A different...someone from another world??"

Hapuu, who was sitting next to the dining table, was also very confused at first about this sudden setting, but after eating some delicious food that Qiao Ran brought back from the real world, she quickly adapted to it.

"Yes, this ability is really convenient."

Qiao Ran was a little surprised by Hapu's amazing adaptability. He was indeed a ground-type trainer who had known the land for generations. This guy simply didn't care about anything when there was food.

"By the way, do you two live together?"

Suddenly, Liliae asked a question.

She had been curious about this question from the beginning. When she was wandering around the houseboat earlier, Lillie had keenly noticed some things that didn't quite match Jasmine. Lillie felt that Jasmine's color preferences were similar to hers, both leaning towards the cute side. However, the extra ones looked a bit like...

"...I saw some of Hapuu's clothes in the room.

Clothes."

"Well, I'm living here for the time being. After all, I'm not a resident of the Sea Village, so I can only stay here temporarily. Jasmine's parents gave me their room, and they happened to have a vacant houseboat."

Hapu nodded. Her home was originally near the entrance of the Grand Canyon. Her family were farmers who relied on the land for their livelihood, not ocean dwellers like Jasmine who had lived on the water since childhood.

"Hapwu wasn't used to resting here at first, so having her stay with me might help her."

Jasmine also explained that for a person who has lived on land for a long time to sleep in a houseboat on the sea, there needs to be an adaptation process at sea. Moreover, during this process, some other trivial matters may occur, and Jasmine can help out.

Everyone was eating and chatting casually, and Qiao Ran also told his plans for tomorrow at this time.

"We plan to go to the ruins on the other side tomorrow. As for you, is it..."

However, before Qiao Ran could finish his words, Hapu, who was eating, swallowed the food in one gulp and interrupted him.

"If it's the ruins on the island, I'll take you there. I'm more familiar with the situation there."

After hearing this word, she looked even more excited than Qiao Ran.

"My grandfather is the manager of the ruins and the king of the island. I often help him prepare for the sacrifices. I even know how to perform the dances required for the sacrifices."

Hapuu talked incessantly about herself and the ruins on the island. In fact, she had seen the island guardian of Poni Island, Tapu Fin-Fin, when she was very young. It was from that time that she had the idea of ​​becoming the queen of the island and accompanying Tapu Fin-Fin for the rest of her life.

The ruins dedicated to Kapu Chifin are called the Higan Ruins. Unlike Kapu Chifin, which represents life, Kapu Chifin represents death and the end of life. It is also the desertedest ruins among the four islands. Although this is also related to the fact that there are relatively few residents on the island, even during sacrifices, not many outsiders come here specifically.

Among these people, those with special ideas probably account for the majority.

After all, according to the legend, Tapu Fin has the ability to allow people to see the dead in the thick fog. However, no one knows whether this is really seeing the dead, or whether it is the illusion that Tapu Fin is best at. But just this rumor can attract some people who want to try it.

"Then let Hapuu take you to the ruins tomorrow. I'll stay here and keep an eye on the situation on the island."

Jasmine is also very confident in Hapuu's abilities. Apart from the deceased old king of the island, Hapuu is the only one on the island who knows the most about the ruins. Although Hapuu has not yet been recognized by Kapu Fin as the queen of the island, in Jasmine's heart, this seems to be something that will happen sooner or later.

"As for when you go to the Moon Altar, that's a place I'm more familiar with."

As Jasmine spoke, she winked at Qiao Ran suggestively. She still remembered this incident.

Everyone quickly arranged their itinerary for tomorrow. The location of the ruins on the other side is different from the ruins on other islands. This ruin is built on the reefs on the seashore, and one must enter the interior of the ruins from the reefs on the seashore. This ruin itself was also carved out of nature, facing the sea, and also represents the end of life.

Therefore, if they want to go to this relic, Qiao Ran and others basically do not need to pass through the ground of the island. They only need to start from Coconut Tree Island and fly along the edge of Bonny Island. On the sea surface leaving the island, the density of Ultra Beasts will be much smaller than that on the island. At least - the situation of being besieged by a bunch of Ultra Beasts on Melemele Island last time is definitely impossible to happen.

After finishing dinner at Jasmine's, Qiao Ran and the others stayed for a while, getting to know Jasmine and Hapuu better. Afterward, they returned to the real world to rest. Unlike other towns, the Sea Village residents' homes were all on their boats, and space on boats was usually limited.

Even if Hapuu lives here, Jasmine's parents will need to move to another houseboat, and there are no other vacant houseboats here.

Although Qiao Ran wanted to experience the feeling of sleeping on a boat, he wasn't traveling yet. Besides, even if he wanted to sleep here, there wouldn't be a place for him. It's not possible for everyone to sleep directly on the beach, right?

Back in the real world, Qiao Ran and the others returned to their respective rooms. Due to their earlier decision, in order to save money and reduce the amount of their now-dwindling savings on hotel rooms, Qiao Ran and the others had already checked out of the extra rooms after lunch and instead booked two triple rooms.

Mei and her friends shared a room, and Lily, Amy, Yue, and Qiao Ran shared a room. The number of people was exactly the same, not one more or one less. This was indeed a lot more economical. The team's finances, which had been very tight, suddenly became more affluent.

And the price that followed was that when Meiyi left the room of Qiao Ran and the others, her eyes seemed to be filled with inexplicable resentment. She could tell what these three guys would do at night by just thinking with her Poké Ball.

Things happened, and she had to deal with two dangerous people who might "find clues" at any time, and she even had to speak well of Qiao Ran and others and cover for them.

Why is the situation so dire when it comes to her???

Thinking of this, Mei felt more and more depressed, but she also knew that this was not someone else's problem. After all, according to the current situation, this arrangement was already the best result. It was well known that Lillie and Mitsuki were good partners. If she forced her hand and made it too deliberate, it would definitely not be good. Besides... if something unexpected happened, such as Zhulan and Acerola living in the same room with Qiao Ran, that would be the result she could not accept the most.

She didn't want more and more people to gather. On this point, she and Mitsuki Liliae and the others agreed that they should unite with each other at times like this.

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

Time quickly came to the next day. Qiao Ran, Lily Amiyue and the others came to the hotel restaurant with a refreshed spirit. Mei and the others had also gotten up and come here. Acerola and Zhulan looked like they had rested well, but Mei couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw Qiao Ran.

It looks like something must have happened last night, right?

"Good morning...ah." Being stared at by Meiyi like that, Qiao Ran felt uneasy, but he still greeted her - having been with Meiyi for so long, he certainly knew what Meiyi was complaining about, but... nothing special happened last night.

Qiao Ran was also quite depressed. He was actually looking forward to something special happening, but Lillie and Miyue were obviously not able to let themselves go in front of their friends. In the end, they just put their beds together and slept in each other's arms for the night.

Of course, this was already a huge improvement compared to before. Qiao Ran even believed that as long as this continued, it was only a matter of time before something happened. And most importantly, they still had a battle to participate in the next day, and Qiao Ran didn't want to overwork himself or rush through it. After all, there was still a lot of time to go.

"Qiao Ran, today's words should be the same as last time. Hold my hand after you go in."

At the breakfast table, Zhulan reminded Qiao Ran of the things he needed to do after entering the ruins. The last time, Zhulan was passively caught up in the black and purple substance. Although she didn't know why Qiao Ran was able to free her from the Poké Ball, the only thing she could understand now was... the situation must have been quite critical.

She had made up her mind not to commit suicide on her own initiative.

"Although I may not be able to do it, but... perhaps you can try and take the initiative to touch the mist."

Zhu Lan looked at Qiao Ran and said these words.

"You mentioned that before, right? Every time I enter, I seem to be enveloped by that thing. Every time I encounter danger, I open my eyes and arrive in that world."

"This has happened three times. It's no longer a coincidence. However... everything has risks..."

When she said these words, Zhulan's heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, she felt that this reasoning should be valid, but on the other hand, she didn't want Qiao Ran to take the initiative to conduct the "experiment". After all, if there were any unknown risks...

Compared to those things, she definitely didn't want Qiao Ran to encounter any danger.

"I can try. If it's dangerous, there's no need to touch it with my whole body."

Qiao Ran felt that this proposal was worth a try. After all, this had happened three times, and Qiao Ran himself was somewhat familiar with it. Moreover, Tapu Moo Moo's words also gave Qiao Ran a new idea - the last time Tapu Moo Moo appeared in the broken world, it relied on the mist-like substance remaining in the ruins, which means that thing can indeed pass through.

Whether it was Tapu, Takeran, or himself, they had all been swallowed by the fog, but now they all appeared here intact, which was enough to prove this point.

"Maybe I could try sticking my pinky in there?"

Qiao Ran couldn't help but make a joke.

"...If I didn't have a little finger, I wouldn't be able to hold the Poké Ball tightly." Zhulan shook her head.

"Don't worry, it's happened so many times already, it's time to just go ahead and try it, it will definitely be fine."

Qiao Ran comforted the other person. This time, he was quite confident.

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

After breakfast, we came to the Pokémon World and everyone successfully appeared on the Coconut Tree Island.

There weren't too many people in the ocean dwellers' village, but Qiao Ran still explained to them that they came from another world. After all, last night these ocean dwellers were discussing how to arrange their accommodation, and even thinking about vacating a few rooms in someone's house. Qiao Ran was too embarrassed to accept such kindness, so he had to tell them the fact that they could travel to another world. These ocean dwellers really hadn't seen people from other places for a long time, and they were even more

Not to mention he is a real visitor from another world.

Therefore, this news caused quite a stir in the village at the time, and it was finally suppressed with the help of Jasmine. As for now, a whole night has passed, and most people have probably accepted this fact.

After all, when Qiao Ran told them this, he also gave them a lot of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation supplies, which were what they most needed. And the ability to pull things out of space with his bare hands was truly beyond their imagination, which further confirmed the point that this boy was from another world.

His abilities are indeed very different.

Chapter 731 [The Ruins on the Other Shore]

"Let's go! Let's all go!"

On the Coconut Tree Island, Hapuu was already prepared. She was still wearing the one-piece dress and a headscarf to block the sun, and her expression was extremely determined.

"...I hope you have a safe journey."

Next to Hapuu, Jasmine also arrived to see everyone off. Also following Jasmine was a purple-skinned, ferocious-looking dog-shaped Pokémon, the Fairy-type Pokémon, Blue King.

It is said that this is also Jasmine's first Pokémon. When it was still Blue, it had been with Jasmine when she was a child.

"Let's go."

Qiao Ran also nodded, and everyone present released their flying Pokémon. Their plan this time was to circle Poni Island from the sea and then reach the ruins of the other shore on the reefs on the shore. Since the ruins of the other shore were not far from Coconut Tree Island, this was also the safest route.

"Ah."

Hapuu also sent out her own Desert Dragonfly. Although she is a trainer specializing in ground-type creatures, this does not mean that there are no flying creatures in the "ground-type" creatures. In addition to the flying Desert Dragonfly, Ran's Garchomp also has ground attributes.

On Qiao Ran's side, he sent out the one he was most familiar with, Yveltal, who had now become the most commonly used means of transportation.

...After all, her ability is extremely useful in dealing with Ultra Beasts. The existence of Deathwing can guarantee super endurance. In addition, Qiao Ran's own Viridian Force can help her replenish her physical strength. One of her Pokémon can replace several.

Of course, Qiao Ran would not tell Yveltal that she was a means of transportation or anything like that. On the contrary, as long as he said that she was his most trusted fighting partner, Yveltal would be happy to do such a thing. These were the arts of language.

"that is……"

Yveltal's appearance caused a burst of exclamations from the surrounding ocean dwellers. Yveltal tilted its head and enjoyed the astonished looks of these ordinary people. The ocean dwellers had no idea what kind of Pokémon this was. The villagers, who were isolated from the news, had never heard of the legend far away in Kalos. Only Jasmine, who was standing in the front, stared with her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to remember this moment.

"Yveltal... the embodiment of death..."

Jasmine, who had traveled to other regions before, naturally recognized Yveltal's identity.

Yesterday, Jasmine was still wondering if she could witness the legendary scene and create a painting that surpassed her previous level. However, she had never expected that a day later, she would actually see a legendary Pokémon, and it appeared directly in front of her in this way...

"..."

Yveltal flapped her wings and flew into the sky with Qiao Ran, disappearing into the azure sky. The others followed closely behind and flew to the east of the island. Jasmine watched all this silently on the ground. Her eyes were attracted by the patterns on Yveltal's body.

The legendary Pokémon are physically very different from ordinary Pokémon, especially Yveltal, which exists as a part of the rules. The aesthetics contained in it incorporates many natural feelings.

"When they come back, I can try..."

Jasmine gently closed her eyes. Although it was only a few seconds, her mind had already memorized the image of the Pokémon flying in the air. Its black feathers flickered with a faint red light under the sunlight. That scene was really hard for her to forget.

This is already an incredibly beautiful picture.

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

His gaze returned to Qiao Ran.

Nothing major happened during the flight. Everyone was already familiar with clearing out the Ultimate Beasts, so they just continued flying along the coastline. Sure enough, it didn't take too long before they saw the ruins built on the reef. From the appearance, it was still a "cave" carved out of the rock, like the entrance to the underworld, pitch black without a trace of light.

Moreover, near the cave entrance, Qiao Ran and others saw the familiar substance, and a creepy feeling came over them. Even though they had experienced it so many times, they still couldn't overcome it.

"What are those?"

Unlike Qiao Ran and the others, Hapuu seemed to be seeing these for the first time. She and Jasmine had been to the ruins before, but they did not venture into the ruins. They just walked around.

They called out Tapu Fin's name. After all, with their strength, they could not guarantee that they could hold out for too long in an aerial battle under the attack of the Ultra Beasts. Moreover, their departure would leave the Village of the Sea Dwellers completely defenseless. It could be said that the situation there would become more urgent with every second they left.

The most important thing is that they didn't actually hold out much hope for this exploration. After all, such a serious incident happened on the island, and Tapu Fin Fin hadn't appeared. If Tapu Fin Fin was still around, she would definitely not sit idly by and watch all this happen.

Therefore, the two of them just called out in the nearby sea area, and the result this time was predictable. They did not get a response from Tapu Fin-Fin, so they could only retreat back to Coconut Tree Island in a hurry.

That time, Hapuu didn't see this strange substance. It seems that these things appeared here later...

"That's a strange substance from the shattered world. It looks like fog to us, but maybe it's water, or something else."

Zhulan helped to explain. She actually had no way to give her own definition of this thing, but just the heart-pounding feeling alone made people understand that this was not something from the real world.

"Sure enough... Tapu Fin must have encountered some accident."

Hapu nodded blankly. She firmly believed that if Tapu Finfin didn't appear on the island, there must be some reason why he couldn't appear here. Otherwise, with Tapu Finfin's personality, she would definitely not sit idly by.

"Let's deal with the Ultra Beasts around us first, and then we can go in together."
