Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Qiao Ran?"

Jasmine, who was not far away, was frightened by Qiao Ran's appearance and reached out to support Qiao Ran's body. With Jasmine's support, Qiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qiao Ran, are you okay?"

"...How about we take a short break?"

"Yeah, are you injured? Let me check you out."

The other girls were also startled by this sudden move and quickly came over, grabbing Qiao Ran's arms and starting to ask about his well-being. Qiao Ran had actually been in this situation before. Sometimes he really worked too hard, which made people worried about him, especially Liliae and Miyue. They didn't want anything to happen to Qiao Ran. Some things, once you have them, you may never want to lose them.

"...I'm fine...I'm just a little tired. The battle in that world was a little intense."

Qiao Ran waved his hand and smiled to let them not worry too much. In fact, what he said was not wrong. The previous physical scars had actually been healed by Diedie's scale powder. The reason why he was like this now was because he had consumed too much mental energy, and this mental consumption was indeed far from being fatal.

"So suspicious..."

"Yeah yeah, this is really just a little intense right?"

However, the girls would not believe what Qiao Ran said, so they simply agreed that several people would take turns helping Qiao Ran onto the altar, and during this process, Qiao Ran also had to explain what exactly happened.

At the same time, Tapu Finfin was also watching curiously what was happening in front of him.

Is this... the way humans get along with each other?

very strange.

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

It is not difficult to explain everything that happened in the broken world. Although Qiao Ran felt as if every day was a year in that world, everything is not complicated.

"I went to that world, and this time my opponent was Solgaleo. I told you about Solgaleo before, you should remember it, right?... But that thing shouldn't be Solgaleo's real body, just some kind of imitation."

"Solgaleo? No... no way?"

Before coming here, Qiao Ran had already told them about Solgaleo and Lunala, and Acerola and the others had indeed heard of this name before, but when this name actually appeared here, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

——Facing a Pokémon that is so powerful in legends, is this... the reason why Qiao Ran fought like this?

"Then I sent out Reshiram."

"Reshiram??" Jasmine, who had just heard of this for the first time, had countless question marks popping up in her head. Wait, Reshiram???

"????"

She opened her mouth for a long time, but she found that among the people present, everyone except her looked very calm, so much so that she felt that she was a little abnormal.

Could it be a Pokémon with the same name?

If it's a Pokémon with the same name, it's understandable that you wouldn't feel surprised, right?

Jasmine's mind immediately started to think

, while Qiao Ran continued with his story.

"Reshiram vs. Solgaleo. This match was quite one-sided. After all, Fire-type Pokémon are very effective against Solgaleo's Steel-type Pokémon, so Reshiram didn't take long to win. But..."

"However, the first Solgaleo was just the beginning. After it dissipated, it actually split into two parts. One side is the Solgaleo we saw before, and the other side is another state of Nebula's final evolution - Lunala."

"Two... two?? There are two of those things??"

"No wonder you're so embarrassed..."

After hearing Qiao Ran’s story, everyone couldn’t help but sweat. Facing two Pokémon like this alone, this was too much!

"Reshiram and I were completely overwhelmed and almost had problems. In the end, it was thanks to Finfin and the others that they suddenly appeared over there and helped us a lot."

Qiao Ran looked at Finfin, and Finfin also smiled slightly, looked in Qiao Ran's direction and nodded slightly.

In Qiao Ran's narration, this thrilling story also has many different details. Of course, there is no need for Qiao Ran to explain some unnecessary events in public, such as Reshiram not obeying his command.

Qiao Ran decided to have a good talk with her about Reshiram later. Although Reshiram was doing it for his own good, he couldn't just let it go. In this matter, he had to show his authority as a trainer.

——If she doesn’t explain it clearly and correct it, she will definitely suffer a great loss the next time she encounters a similar situation.

"This is too dangerous... Luckily, Tapu and the others were able to go in, thanks to Nebula-chan."

Zhu Lan looked at Qiao Ran, her face full of emotion. What Qiao Ran did was really, really dangerous. If it weren't for Tapu Fin Fin who flashed into the Ultimate Hole created by Little Nebula at the moment before it disappeared, Qiao Ran's ending this time... would probably be really disastrous.

Of course, in addition to these, there is another place that also caught Zhulan's attention.

"By the way, since the Ultimate Hole opened by Little Nebula can indeed lead to that shattered world, does that mean that as long as Little Nebula evolves into its final form, it will be able to fully utilize this ability?"

A gleam of light flashed in Zhulan's eyes. She had been thinking about this matter for a long time. Not being able to participate in the battle in that world had always been a source of regret in her heart.

Now that she finally has such an opportunity, she must ask this question carefully.

"Yeah, if Finfin can go, then we should have a solution, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, that makes sense."

After hearing Zhulan's words, the other girls suddenly understood, as if they had suddenly thought of something.

Everyone present was a trainer, and as long as they were trainers, they would not reject fighting. Moreover, they all wanted to help Qiao Ran and help him relieve the current pressure. They were obviously so strong, so why was there no way to protect him?

"Hmm...it's definitely something I can consider. Who knows, maybe it really works."

Qiao Ran also felt that this proposal was promising and might actually be able to accomplish this function. However, he had not yet seen Lunala and Solgaleo in the real world, so Qiao Ran was not quite sure whether the other party could actually do this.

However, logically speaking, if it could be done before evolution, then it shouldn't be a big problem to do it after evolution, right?

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

With the help of everyone, Qiao Ran and others finally reached the top of the altar - a place that looked like a square.

"From here, you can overlook the entire island."

Qiao Ran and the others could look down directly from above, seeing the Bonnie Canyon stretching into the distance, and then taking in the entirety of the island. However, it was still a bit difficult to see the other islands. If one had to compare heights, the mountains on Akala Island were clearly the largest.

Standing in such a place, he couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism and ambition in his heart. After watching quietly for a while and resting for a lot of physical strength, Qiao Ran finally turned his head and looked at Liliae.

"Lilia, it's time for us to get down to business."

"Ah."

At Qiao Ran's reminder, Liliae nodded deeply.

Their purpose in coming here was only one from the beginning to the end, and that was to blow the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute. Only in this way could they awaken the little nebula and give it new power.

As for other things, such as the battle before Qiao Ran, that was not actually the purpose of Qiao Ran and the others coming here. It was just because they wanted to go up to the altar, so they had to solve this problem.

Lillie took out two long flutes from her bag. One was decorated with a moon-shaped symbol, while the other was decorated with a sun-shaped symbol. These were the treasures of the Alola region, the Moon Flute and

Sun Flute.

Legend has it that the two flutes contain magical energy that can allow the Star Children to evolve into a whole new form. This is also the purpose of their coming here.

Lillie handed one of the sticks with the sun symbol to Qiao Ran, and kept the one with the moon shape for herself.

——In order to activate the magical effect of the Moon Altar, two people must blow the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute at the same time. Qiao Ran and Lillie happen to be the two people Xiao Xingyun is most familiar with, and no one else is more suitable for this job than them.

"Alright, everyone, get ready... If anything unexpected happens, I'll leave it to you guys."

In order to prevent any accidents while playing the flute, Qiao Ran released his Pokémon and asked Zhulan and the others to be prepared at any time. He didn't want to be kidnapped by some monster that suddenly appeared.

"Leave it to us."

Zhulan crossed her arms and smiled at Qiao Ran.

She had no way of following Qiao Ran into that shattered world, and could only watch helplessly as he fell into danger. But they were still in the Pokémon world, and Zhulan naturally wanted to prove herself. If something was so blind as to launch a sneak attack at this moment, Zhulan wouldn't mind giving it a hard time.

Her championship status is more than just for show.

Zhulan and the others stood at different places on the altar, guarding against the ultimate beasts that might approach from various places. As for Jasmine, she specially found a very good angle, ready to carefully observe the historical moments in the legend. The moment when these legends came true would definitely stimulate her a lot of inspiration, and maybe even help her break through some of her current realms.

After arranging everything, Liliae and Qiao Ran also came to the two sides of the Moon Altar respectively.

In front of the highest stone slab, there are two small "ponds", and in the center of the pond is a small floating platform, and this is where the player stands.

In the middle of the ponds on both sides, the cocoon of the small nebula is floating quietly with its eyes closed, as if it is having a wonderful dream, and people don't want to disturb its sweet dream.

However, there will be a time to wake up from this dream, and by this time, they have been waiting for too long.

Qiao Ran and Liliae stepped into the pond, carefully moving forward step by step. They stood in the center, then took a deep breath and looked at each other.

The two people have almost the same idea.

"let's start."

"Ok!"

Everything has been arranged, only the last step remains.

Liliae and Qiao Ran simultaneously picked up their flutes and placed the holes against their lower lips. At that moment, a unique flute sound rang out simultaneously above the Moon Altar.

This time, thousands of years have passed since the last time such a sound was heard.

Chapter 748 [Lunar Eclipse]

All conditions were met, and everyone on the Moon Altar had made final preparations. In addition, in order to prevent any unexpected events, Qiao Ran also released other Pokémon for defense.

This is not the broken world where only one Pokémon can be used. Not only can Qiao Ran use all his Pokémon, but Zhulan and the others can also fully exert their strength. With such a team, no matter what kind of opponent they face, they will at least have the strength to fight.

Qiao Ran and Lillie looked at each other for the last time, and both put the flute close to their lips. Melodious flute sounds came out, as if there was some kind of magic. Qiao Ran and Lillie had not actually received any special training in playing the flute. They only learned some basic knowledge from Jasmine the day before, but when they put the flute close to their lips, everything seemed to fall into place.

The sounds of the flutes formed a melody, and the sounds of the two flutes added depth to the melody. As the song played, wonderful things happened in front of everyone.

A bright light emanated from the feet of Qiao Ran and Liliae. It began gathering from the ponds on either side, then spread outward along the grooves above the altar, following the path of the water flow. It was like drawing some strange pattern, appearing both beautiful and dreamy.

Everyone was staring at the breathtaking scene, and Jasmine was watching without blinking. She had been to many areas and seen many beautiful scenes called "splendid views" by the locals. She had created paintings for most of them, but none of them made her feel so excited.

This is a legend that has been passed down from ancient times in Alola to the present day, and it is also the most mysterious part of the Pokémon world. No one knows what happened between the ancient Alola Dynasty and the Children of the Stars, nor does anyone know who guided them to build such a building. However, even from today's perspective, this charm has not faded from ancient times to the present, but has become more unforgettable with the passage of time.

"..."

The light began to spread along the direction of the water flow. Finally, the two rays of light from both sides converged on the huge stone tablet facing the rising sun, and flowed into the huge circular groove in the center of the stone tablet.

"Shh-"

It was like opening a door, and the circular groove suddenly opened.

Suddenly, abundant white energy overflowed, and the white energy began to gather rapidly, and finally turned into the most blazing light, shooting towards the small nebula floating in the center of the venue.

Little Xingyun's entire body was enveloped in light, and the light, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it, finally slowly disappeared after a while. At the same time, Qiao Ran and Liliae's performance also came to an abrupt end. At this moment, the entire altar finally became quiet again.

"Great, nothing unexpected happened..."

Qiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. After everything was over, nothing happened. When he was playing the flute before, he was still worried, fearing that the "Glorious God" from the ultimate world would suddenly rush out and kill them by surprise. Now it seems that they were indeed thinking too much.

Even the gods of the ultimate world need to rest.

However, just when Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, the scene happening in front of him made him swallow the rest of his words. He opened his eyes wide and fell silent.

When the condensed light gradually dissipated and he could see the faint light without burning his eyes, Qiao Ran also saw the true appearance of the "object" with the shape of a bat hidden in the light.

The first thing that caught the eye was the huge, semicircular wings with a golden outline on the edge - when its wings were fully spread, it looked like a complete crescent moon.

Lunayara.

This is the real thing - inviting the beast from the moon.

Qiao Ran had undoubtedly seen the appearance of this Pokémon - in the previous battle.

In that battle, Qiao Ran was deeply impressed by the opponent's fighting posture and powerful strength. However, that indifferent expression and stiff face did not look like a real, emotional Pokémon at all.

And the current Lunala that appeared before them was completely different.

The moment their eyes met, Qiao Ran and Lillie both understood that the Lunala in front of them was the little Nebula who had spent a long time with them and whom they missed day and night.

Moreover, the Nebula that evolved into its final form is very different from the ordinary Lunala. Its body is not the blue-purple color representing the stars, but bright red like blood. When it spreads its wings, what is represented is not an ordinary moon, but an extremely strange blood-red full moon.

This is a unique characteristic of Shiny Pokémon, and it's proof that Nebula is different from ordinary Pokémon. Even among the Star Children, it is an incomparably special existence.

“luuuu.”

It flapped its wings, letting its huge body float in the air, as if it wanted to experience the feeling of flying. It flew a circle in the air with great excitement, and then landed in front of Qiao Ran and Liliae, looking at the two of them quietly.

"Little Nebula..."

Lillie looked at it excitedly. She had seen it before, back at the Aether Foundation, and had seen it suffer. But now, it was like a complete transformation, a brand new look. This journey was like watching her own child grow up. The little Nebula, who had always been interested in so many things, had become a Pokémon that looked powerful and beautiful.

Lillie took a step forward and hugged the other person directly. Qiao Ran just smiled and watched this scene. It seemed that because of its evolution, the little nebula now seemed to be much more stable than before, and looked quite majestic at first glance.

"Lunayara... Is this Lunayara? And it's this color... It's different from what was recorded."

Jasmine and the others quickly gathered around, their faces also showing expressions of great surprise as they watched this astonishing scene.

Moreover, the color of the small nebula also sparked a wave of discussion. After all, in the records of Alola, the Moon Beast was blue-purple, and it was impossible for it to be this blood-red.
