Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

As if sensing Qiao Ran's breath, Lillie, who was originally speaking, suddenly fell silent. She had obviously also noticed the current situation. If they were so close...

Lillie's face couldn't help but blush.

The relationship between the two was no longer just friendship, and it had been several days since they last met. Both Liliae and Qiao Ran were having a hard time controlling their thoughts. They stared at each other, their breathing becoming heavier.

It was not until Liliae leaned close to Qiao Ran's ear and whispered something that Qiao Ran finally gave up on the nerves in his heart.

"...Mizuki hasn't come out yet...there's still time..."

"...!"

Qiao Ran took a deep breath.

Although there may not be much time, and nothing is likely to happen, but it is still possible to decompress a little, right? ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"?"

By the time Mitsuki came out, more than twenty minutes had passed. However, not long after she left, she saw Lillie running to the suitcase to pick up some clothes to change into, and then hurried into the bathroom.

"I...I'm going to take a shower."

"??"

Mitsuki felt very strange, but she didn't ask too much. Maybe it was because she could finally have a break today and tomorrow, so Liliae planned to take a quick shower and go to bed early.

"..."

However, Qiao Ran also seemed to be sitting on the bed in a daze, seemingly struggling with something. Meiyue blinked, looked at the location of Lilia's bathroom, picked up her phone and watched a few videos, then she moved closer to Qiao Ran.

"Qiao Ran, take a look at this?"

"...???"

Look...what?

Qiao Ran turned his gaze away and stared at her blankly.

No way??? You’re coming too???

This exact same scene almost made him feel like he was stuck in a cycle. Lillie had been teasing him for a long time, but when she saw Mitsuki was about to come out, she quickly slipped into the bathroom, leaving him no room to continue.

The result is now...

Looking at Meiyue who had come close to him, Qiao Ran couldn't help swallowing his saliva. There seemed to be bursts of fragrance coming from her body.

So, more than twenty minutes later——

No one could understand Qiao Ran's pain. Even an hour ago, he probably couldn't understand himself. How on earth did he survive until an hour later?

Lillie and Miyue, both of them had obviously reached their limit of patience, but they couldn't let go of themselves because of the other's presence. Qiao Ran, who was stuck in the middle, was in a position where they were neither good nor bad. They would rather make a feint while the other was taking a shower than take any further action when the other was around.

"..."

In the middle of the night, Qiao Ran could only stare at the ceiling above with his eyes wide open.

Even though there were two beautiful girls lying on his left and right, both with outstanding figures and looks, he could do nothing. If he did anything, the worst case scenario would be that both of them would start to get angry with him.

Moreover, this is not conducive to the next step.

...When will this kind of day end?

He now felt a little regretful about why he had agreed to let everyone live in the same room.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

Slowly, time came to the second day.

Qiao Ran had a long night, while the others

According to his feeling, he seemed to have slept very well. However, the three people present tacitly avoided mentioning this topic.

I met up with Mei and the others, and then we had breakfast together. Today is still a time for rest, so everyone can do whatever they want to do, there are no restrictions.

Just like Qiao Ran, he planned to take Silverbreed and the others out to buy some new clothes in the morning. Of course, considering the recent economic problems, Qiao Ran and the Pokémon had already made an agreement to only buy clothes for Silverbreed this time. As for the other Pokémon, they would probably have to wait until later.

But even so, they were happy to accept it. After all, there were eighteen states of Silver Paladin, each with its own different feeling. Moreover, since each Pokémon had its own representative attributes, they all felt that their own attribute was the best state. As a result, this issue basically became the focus of their competition in the end.

Even a Pokémon like Yveltal, which is usually very independent, stood up for the evil attribute this time and tried to find the best combination for Silver Companion that can be used under the evil attribute. However... considering her own aesthetic taste, Qiao Ran felt that she might have no hope.

Apart from Qiao Ran, the other girls also had places they wanted to go. For example, Zhu Lan just planned to find a quiet dessert shop or cafe to write down everything that had happened to her recently. She had actually been doing this since yesterday.

Aserola stayed in Alola, intending to experience the life of the ocean dwellers with Jasmine. As for the remaining Lillie, Mitsuki and the others, they basically followed Qiao Ran out.

However... every time his eyes met Lillie and Miyue's, Qiao Ran always had an inexplicable feeling as if a danger alarm had been triggered, as if they were hinting at something.

"..."

In response to this, Qiao Ran could only pretend to know nothing. The three of them began a battle of wits and courage with the air. Only Mei looked confused, as she always felt that something was not right.

In fact, accompanying Pokémon to buy clothes is not an easy task. Although Qiao Ran only needs to be a "judge" in this process, this time the "judge" is obviously not so easy to be.

Every Pokémon was secretly competing with each other. Normally, they would not compete with each other in strength, but now, using this as an excuse, they directly started a pairing competition. However, the Silver Companion, who was at the center of the storm, did not behave like the center of the storm at all. It did not feel scared at all, and even acted very moved.

When Qiao Ran secretly asked her, she just answered like this.

“…It’s great that everyone cares about me.”

"..."

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Qiao Ran's forehead. This...

The Silver Companion War Beast seemed completely unaware that something was wrong.

Although it’s true that they care about you, but... aren’t you really afraid that they will fight over this issue???

Although there is a foolproof way, but I really can’t afford to buy eighteen sets of clothes!!!

Chapter 739 [Secret]

Of course, according to Qiao Ran's calculations, he would not directly buy eighteen sets of clothes. Among his Pokémon, there are still a few attributes that he does not have. But even so, it is still a very large number. Qiao Ran alone cannot withstand such "destruction".

These few sets of clothes that can be purchased naturally became the focus of competition among Pokémon. Each of them wanted to show their unique insights and win the title of best designer.

"..."

As the only judge with some say present, Qiao Ran naturally carries a huge responsibility on his shoulders. He can only use the art of language. After praising everyone, he pretends to be very conflicted and gives a winner. Although this may be a bit brain-consuming, it is already the best result.

Of course, among these Pokémon, there are also some who are good at design, like Diancie and Ninetales. Since they like to tinker with small decorations and have participated in exhibition competitions with Qiao Ran, their aesthetic tastes are at the forefront even among humans. So it is no surprise that the combination of ice and fairy types is almost the best.

Qiao Ran said that he absolutely did not favor any side, he just liked beautiful things.

And Mitsuki and Lillie who came with him can also testify. Not to mention that Lillie is a die-hard fan of Fairy-type Pokémon, even Mitsuki who likes Poison-type Pokémon can be attracted by their designs, which shows that their designs are really good.

In the end, apart from the ordinary outfit chosen by Silver Companion War Beast himself, Qiao Ran basically bought two sets of fairy and ice outfits. The ordinary outfit chosen by Silver Companion War Beast himself is basically a sports suit, with sportswear on the upper body and sports pants on the lower body, and a hat on the head. Now he can start running exercises on the street without any sense of incongruity.

As for Diancie and Ninetales, their choices were slightly different. They were outfits with a slightly cooler, icy style. The ice-style Silver Companion's hair color was almost identical to Ninetales', and her figure was only slightly taller. If they stood together, they truly looked like two sisters.

As for the fairy type, it is obviously more

It adds a cute feeling, the lace is matched with the fluffy skirt, and the long pink hair, there is quite a contrast.

Although there is a big difference between the two, there is no sense of incongruity when it is placed on Silver Companion after the state is changed. Maybe this is the magic of Pokémon that can switch attributes at will.

At least, from Qiao Ran's perspective, he found it quite shocking.

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

The morning was spent with everyone busy shopping and Qiao Ran's wallet groaning, while in the afternoon, Qiao Ran had some more private time.

No matter where he goes, he can arrange his next time freely, whether it is to check on Zhulan's writing progress, or to look for Lillie and Miyue in private, or to go to the frontier to see his Pokémon, Qiao Ran always has various ways to spend this "rest" time.

It was very rare for Qiao Ran to experience a sense of calmness, as if the crisis had not yet occurred. He could spend every peaceful day in peace and tranquility.

Finally, Qiao Ran came to the Coconut Tree Island in Alola. Next to the altar on the Coconut Tree Island, he met Tapu Finfin who was also there. She was floating in the air and looked at Qiao Ran who was walking towards her step by step.

"Tomorrow, we'll take these flutes and go to the Moon Altar."

"You should know where that is."

After hearing what Qiao Ran said and seeing him looking straight into his eyes, Tapu Chi Chi nodded.

As the island deity of Poni Island, there was no reason for her to be unaware of the Moon Altar. In ancient Alola, this altar existed until one day, when a strange being descended upon Alola and stole all light. It was only when two brave divine beasts appeared and defeated the monster that peace was finally restored to Alola. The Moon Altar was a place of commemoration.

Of course, this is just an external explanation.

Tapu Fin, who was born here and has lived here for thousands of years, has already witnessed all of this. On that day, no Pokémon could stop the "monster", even if she and several other island gods took action together, it was of no avail. Although the two "divine beasts" in history had a direct relationship with solving the problem, their way of solving it was completely different.

It wasn't that they defeated the monster and then left Alola, but... the monster devoured them, took away their power, and tore an ultimate hole with its bare hands before finally leaving here.

Peace eventually returned to Alola. However, the problem was never completely resolved. After that day, Tapu Fin had a premonition that Alola would face further trouble. However, she had never expected that this day would come so soon.

Only a few thousand years have passed, and the entire Alola is facing such a huge problem.

These Ultra Beasts, arriving from another world, had the same aura and smell as the "monsters" that had appeared that day. Even the two "divine beasts" gave her a similar feeling. These creatures were not from this world, nor were they native to Alola. They were invaders from another world.

"finnii."

Tapu Chi Chi did not hide anything but explained everything to Qiao Ran. Although she was not good at expressing herself and did not have the same active emotions as Die Die, deep down, she still liked and trusted Qiao Ran very much.

The fact that she came to that lonely world and saved her was already very touching to Tapu Finfin. Moreover, he also helped other Tapu, which made Finfin have a better impression of him.

This human being is different from other humans. Although he claims that he and Diedie are just acquaintances, Finfin can feel the obvious aura emanating from Qiao Ran.

If it was just an ordinary relationship, Die Die would never have put so much effort into protecting a human being, let alone caring about him. The people Die Die liked all had their own unique qualities, and Qiao Ran was probably the most special one.

"Really?... That monster absorbed two Pokémon and then used the Ultra Hole to leave."

Through Rotom's translation, Qiao Ran also learned about the history of that period. Although there were some differences from some key points in his memory, generally speaking, it was still pretty similar.

That "monster" was actually none other than the Ultimate God, the Ultimate Arceus - Necrozma.

However, for some reason, Necrozma was stripped of his light and brought to the Pokémon world, which is Alola in ancient times.

It was also during that period that the facts just described by Tapu Fin Fin were almost connected - it devoured the two "divine beasts" at that time, which were the ultimate forms of the two Star Children, and only then did it recover some of its own abilities and return to the Ultimate World.

As for what happened next, Qiao Ran had no way of guessing.

However, judging from the current situation where Ultra Beasts swarmed out of the other world and came to Alola to capture the city, the situation in the Ultra World does not seem to be too good.

When in the real world, Qiao Ran also encountered visitors from the ultimate world. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they did not encounter any huge problems?

In this regard, Qiao Ran can only take one step at a time - after all, it is not very realistic to speculate on the situation in the Ultimate World based on the current information. The Ultimate World is also a very huge world, and each region has its own different situations. These worlds even have many different dimensions, and the degree of complexity is far greater than that of the Pokémon world. For the time being, Qiao Ran feels that he still has to focus on solving the problems of the Pokémon world. After all, the crisis in the Pokémon world is the most urgent.

"Thank you for telling me this."

Qiao Ran looked at Finfin in front of him and smiled friendly, and Finfin nodded slightly.

"fini."

"...I want to go with you guys tomorrow, she said so, Loto."

Rotom translated the other party's words instantly, but the content of the sentence still surprised Qiao Ran.

"Will you come with me tomorrow?"

Qiao Ran had originally thought that Tapu Fin wouldn't be too interested in this operation. After all, she always acted aloof and aloof in front of him, and who knew what she was really thinking. Furthermore, as the island's god, protecting the people and Pokémon living on the island was her most important mission. Her most important task now was to expel the Ultra Beasts from the island, not to join them in climbing some altar.

However, Tapu Fin Fin still chose the most difficult path.

"Finifini." She nodded.

No matter what, the Moon Altar is the territory of Poni Island, and she must be involved in everything that happens there.

Although she doesn't like getting hurt and doesn't like fighting that may result in injury, it doesn't mean that she can't fight or is afraid of fighting. She just doesn't like getting hurt.

"Okay, since you want to go, why don't you come along tomorrow? Jasmine will also be there, so I'll ask you to lead the way tomorrow."

Qiao Ran smiled and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to try to pat the other's head - the shell on it, but surprisingly, Tapu Finfin didn't show any resistance. She still had that calm expression.

With the addition of Tapu Chifin, the team this time is obviously more stable. Tapu Chifin's grasp of the island's terrain is definitely better than that of ordinary people. Even compared with someone like Jasmine who often explores the canyon, she is probably better. After all, no matter what, she is the island god who has lived here for thousands of years.

"...By the way, can you tell me about Alola's past? For example, what's the relationship between you and Tapu?"

It just so happened that they had some time now, and Qiao Ran was also very interested, so he simply lay down on the grass next to the altar and chatted with Tapu Finfin. With Rotom acting as the translator, there was no problem in the conversation between the two. However, the translator would sometimes interject a few words, which seemed very unprofessional.

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

At night, everyone came to Jasmine's houseboat, took out the food they brought from the real world, and prepared a sumptuous dinner. As Jasmine's roommate, Hapu also got some delicious food here. Although she would not participate in this operation tomorrow, she would not give up if she could get it for free.

While everyone was eating, Qiao Ran decided on the order and detailed plan for tomorrow's actions. Since the Moon Altar was located at the farthest end of the Poni Island Grand Canyon and on top of the highest mountain, it would take a lot of time to get there, or... fly there directly, but that would inevitably attract a large number of Ultimate Beasts. If he was not in a hurry, Qiao Ran did not want to use such a plan.

On Melemele Island, although they used flying to travel, it also brought them many huge problems. This time, Qiao Ran and others were going to the most dangerous Moon Altar. If they had a choice, Qiao Ran still hoped that they could maintain sufficient physical strength and then complete the challenge in one go when they encountered it, rather than being exhausted half to death by the ultimate beasts on the road before reaching the end.

After discussing the details with everyone, Qiao Ran and the others said goodbye to Jasmine and the others and prepared to return to the real world to rest.

——It’s getting late.

However, when Qiao Ran, Lily Amy Yue and the others walked into the same room and closed the door, the three of them fell silent at the same time and stood there in an awkward position.
