Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Ti!"

Diancie refused to give up and fired a Diamond Storm. The pink diamond tornado rushed straight towards the black Xuid. However, the white little Xuids seemed to form a wall and actually blocked the skill.

"Hee hee hee……"

The black Xuwuide made a sound that sounded like both a sneer and a mockery. She waved her tentacles, and countless venom shells rushed over like raindrops. This time, Suicune took the initiative to carry Qiao Ran on his back and jumped on the bridge to avoid him.

Suicune was very agile and dodged almost all of the venom rain, while the rest were blocked by Diancie.

However, when the venom fell on the bridge, the seemingly sturdy bridge was corroded and holes appeared. How powerful is this thing?

"No... No! This is..."

This thought didn't last more than a few seconds in Qiao Ran's mind before he stared at the rapidly cracking ground with his eyes wide open.

The bridge actually lost its supporting strength due to this corrosion.

"Boom!!"

The bridge cracked and Qiao Ran fell into darkness. However, at the last second, Qiao Ran reached out and put Diancie and Suicune into the ball.

"Qixi Bluebird!"

Qiao Ran remained calm in the face of danger. Having experienced so much, he had developed a heart that remained calmer in times of crisis. He pulled out the Poké Ball containing the Qixi Bluebird, ready to let it help him through this difficult time. Humans can't fly, but the Qixi Bluebird can.

However - just as he was about to make this move, he suddenly felt that he fell on something soft.

"Boom."

"Hmm? What... happened?"

Qiao Ran raised his head and looked around in surprise. He found that

He was sitting on the body of a Pokémon, which was flying in the air, flapping its wings. Furthermore, a girl's faint voice could be heard from beside him.

“Are you… okay…?”

"!"

Qiao Ran was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. With the faint light of the surrounding crystals, he suddenly discovered that the person who made the sound was a cute girl with short black hair and a red hat on her head.

The girl had large, bright eyes, and she seemed to always have a faint smile on her face when she spoke. However, she didn't look very well at the moment... There were faint dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well for a long time. Furthermore, her clothes were torn, revealing large areas of skin beneath her already cool attire.

Qiao Ran even felt that if she moved even slightly, he would see something he shouldn't see...

"You are……"

Qiao Ran felt that he should know her...even though he had never seen her in person.

"Meiyue?" Qiao Ran asked tentatively.

"Huh?" The girl reacted instantly to Qiao Ran's words.

Her big eyes were full of confusion, as if saying "How do you know?"

Chapter 72 070 [Alola: Mitsuki]

The girl didn't understand why Qiao Ran knew her. As far as she could remember, this was the first time she met this boy.

"Ah... Sorry, I just heard a friend talk about your appearance, so I guessed it was you."

Seeing the girl's reaction, Qiao Ran was basically sure that she was the so-called "Meiyue".

Like Mei, she is one of the many female protagonists in the Pokémon world. However, they represent different regions: Mei is from Unova, while Mitsuki is from Alola.

If we compare the two regions, the difference is probably the same as that between an international metropolis and an urban-rural fringe.

Although the Alola region has outstanding organizations like the Aether Foundation, the local customs and practices are still at a relatively "simple" stage. There are basically no industrial facilities here, and the environment is well preserved. Even the Alliance may not have been formally established.

"Really...some friends actually mentioned me...did you come in from outside?"

There was a dim look in Miyue's eyes. Seeing her expression like that, Qiao Ran couldn't help but think of Mei again - what on earth did these heroines in the Pokémon world experience? Why did they all feel so weird?

"I did come in from outside, using a little special method. My name is Qiao Ran, nice to meet you."

Qiao Ran looked around and then changed the subject. He was quite afraid that the other party would keep asking him how he got in. He had no way to explain this question.

"What on earth is going on here?"

"This place... has experienced an unprecedented disaster."

Mitsuki shook her head and directed her Pokémon to land on the ground.

Only then did Qiao Ran realize that the dragon under him was actually a tropical dragon with a green body and a banana hanging around its neck. It was the dragon that caught him in mid-air.

"In the beginning, my friend invited me here. Then, for some reason... dozens of Ultra Holes connecting to another world suddenly appeared, and countless Ultra Beasts passed through them and entered this facility."

"I had no way to stop the invasion of those Ultra Beasts. I could only watch them take over this place. They exiled other living beings to another world and transformed this place into their lair. Not only that... even my best friend was captured by them..."

Miyue sat down weakly on the ground. This was the bottom of the bridge, but it had been transformed by Miyue into a small temporary base.

There are beds, supplies, water, food, it seems like everything is available here.

But there was no electricity here, nor many of the necessities of modern life. Qiao Ran couldn't imagine how Meiyue managed to survive here.

"Are you talking about Lillie? I saw her just now too."

Qiao Ran sighed. If he was strong enough, he would also like to rescue Lillie. After all, no matter what, she was a good girl and she shouldn't have become like that.

"You know Liliae too?"

Perhaps because she hadn't seen a living person for a long time, or perhaps because of the sense of familiarity that Qiao Ran naturally showed, Meiyue communicated with Qiao Ran very easily, and there seemed to be no barrier between the two as when they first met.

"Well, of course I know her."

Qiao Ran nodded without comment, and added in his heart: But she doesn't know me.

"Liliae... woo."

Speaking of Lillie, Mitsuki's nose twitched slightly. She walked silently to the end of the bed and picked up a slightly dirty doll - the doll was in the shape of Pippi.

"This is Lillie's favorite doll. I even went out of my way to find it for her... Even though she's become like that now, I always believed... there must be a way..."

talking

As she spoke, tears welled up in Miyue's eyes. It was hard to imagine how much of a blow such a strong girl had suffered to become like this.

"..."

Seeing her so sad, Qiao Ran really wanted to hug her and comfort her, but then he thought again that this was only the first time they met, and it would be inappropriate for him to behave like this.

What if I'm considered a pervert? Will I get scolded again?

So, Qiao Ran stretched his hand in the air, extended it and then retracted it, stretching and shrinking it, not knowing what to do.

"Um...what's wrong with you?"

After crying quietly for a while, Meiyue noticed the weird behavior of Qiao Ran beside her. She couldn't help but turn her gaze to Qiao Ran, and then put the Pippi doll back on the bed.

"No...it's okay. I was just thinking about a complicated problem."

Qiao Ran scratched his head and tried to change the subject again. He no longer wanted to trigger the buff of "definitely angering a girl the first time they meet". After suffering losses several times, he became more and more cautious in this regard.

Thanks to Diancie, Vulpix and the others, Qiao Ran also realized that girls are really tricky.

"Complicated question. Are you trying to rescue Lillie?"

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

Qiao Ran nodded decisively, taking advantage of the situation. He truly wanted to rescue Lillie, and this didn't conflict with his previous plan. Furthermore, he had a hunch that the Vultured that was parasitizing Lillie was probably connected to the "Singularity Center," and that Vultured held a unique position within the entire tribe.

"Lilia... I knew it, I knew it. As Lilia's friend, you must have the same idea as me!"

Hearing Qiao Ran's answer, Mei Yue's face showed excitement. She even took a step forward and hugged Qiao Ran excitedly.

"Great! Great!"

"...!"

Qiao Ran widened his eyes. He had been hesitating whether to do this, but the girl actually gave him a hug.

Is this the passionate Alola? — Qiao Ran expressed his love.

Although this girl doesn't have the amazing figure like Mei, it's still much better than the flat figures like Vulpix and Diancie. Or should we say, Vulpix and Diancie are more special.

"By the way, what Pokémon do you have available right now? I might not be able to deal with the most powerful Hollow Eid yet. If you have other Pokémon..."

Meiyue's hug didn't last long. After she let go of Qiao Ran, Qiao Ran also asked about Meiyue's team configuration.

Now that he has found an ally and decided what to do next, Qiao Ran should also understand the strength of his ally.

——If the protagonist also had the same fighting ability as Mei, then the next action would undoubtedly become easier.

However - after hearing what Qiao Ran said, Meiyue showed a bitter and helpless smile on her face.

That expression clearly looked like she was smiling, but Qiao Ran felt like she was crying no matter how he looked at her.

"Okay, I'll show you my Pokémon."

As Mitsuki moved, several Pokémon appeared around her.

Qiao Ran's eyes swept across them.

"Sniper Owl…Alola Muddy…Super Bad Star…Flame Queen…Dragon King Scorpion…"

Qiao Ran's expression was very excited at first, but the more he watched, the more confused he became.

"Wait, why are all your Pokémon except the starter Pokémon and flying vehicles poison-type???"

Why are they all poison-type???

You know, Xuwu Yide has quadruple poison resistance! Poison plus rock, that's undoubtedly quadruple. Poison-type skills hitting her won't even scratch her skin!

Qiao Ran suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something.

Why is Mitsuki always helpless against Xuwu Yide?

It wasn't that she wasn't working hard, but her team was incredibly toxic. Not only were most of the Pokémon poison-type, but the remaining ones had no advantage against Hollowed and were even countered.

"Hmm..." Meiyue touched her head. She didn't know how to answer Qiao Ran's question.

She could only stick out her tongue slightly and act cute.

"Because... they all look cute?"

Chapter 73 071 [Singularity: Alliance]

"You...hey."

Qiao Ran was like a deflated ball. He could only sigh and took out the Rotom that he had stuffed in his pocket, ready to check the levels of her Pokémon.

Mitsuki's choice of Pokémon is very unique. At this point, Qiao Ran has no other choice. Although most Pokémon experts will specialize in one attribute, as an adventurer who often goes out on adventures, he cannot only train Pokémon of a single attribute, otherwise he will probably fall into such a dilemma.

"What is that? Rotom?"

Seeing Qiao Ran take out Rotom, Miyue also came over and took out a red

The object is none other than Alola's specialty—the Rotom Pokedex.

By injecting Rotom into the Pokédex, you will get a flying Pokémon Pokédex that can also be used as a selfie phone, which is quite convenient.

However, her Rotom was completely out of strength at this point and couldn't even open its eyes.

"Because there's no electricity and no sunlight here... I've never been able to charge it. If only I could get out..."

As Miyue spoke, her eyes became firm again.

She looked at Qiao Ran and straightened up excitedly: "Let's defeat that Xuwu Yide together!"

"Um...ah, I know, I know."

Qiao Ran's eyes were still on the Rotom screen, and he didn't notice Mitsuki, who was suddenly getting excited. He could only answer mechanically.

"The levels of these Pokémon...are most of them around level 37?"

Qiao Ran muttered to himself. Although Miyue's Pokémon were of higher levels than his, their attributes were not good. Moreover, this level was not good enough in front of that Hollow Eid.

"What should I do?"

Qiao Ran touched his chin. Although he really wanted to ask Miyue if her Pokémon could use Surf, Hot Water, and Earthquake to counter the AoE skills of Xuwuidu, after thinking for a while, he still didn't ask the question.

First, Mitsuki's Super Bad Star, who likely possesses water-based skills, is just a tank. Even if it can spray a little water from its body, it's unlikely to have much effect on Xuwuidu, who has extremely high special defense. Secondly, while Earthquake, a ground-based skill, can deal a fatal blow to Xuwuidu in the game, unfortunately, they're in reality now...

Qiao Ran estimated that by then they might not be able to shock any jellyfish, but instead would shock their teammates half to death.

"I've shown you my Pokémon, so what are your teammates?"

Seeing Qiao Ran seeming to want to say something but hesitant, Meiyue couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
