Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

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.

Of course, not only them, but even Tapu Fin, who had seen the real Lunala, was shocked by the scene before him.

Different color.

This is a magical phenomenon that occurs between Pokémon. Pokémon of different colors will have a completely different body image from other Pokémon, and this change usually only occurs in the change of body color. Generally speaking, Pokémon of different colors are very rare in the population, and there may be only one in tens of thousands.

However, every heterochromatic Pokémon is exceptional, not only in appearance but also in individual stats, among the best in the entire population. However, what surprised Tapu Fin was actually this: could a being like Lunala actually have a heterochromatic appearance?

"luuuu!"

After hugging Lillie, Little Nebula was not idle either. He flew directly to Qiao Ran, stretched out his huge wings and hugged Qiao Ran's body. The powerful force directly lifted Qiao Ran up.

Qiao Ran had previously thought that Little Xingyun seemed to be much more stable after his evolution, but it didn't take long for his thoughts to be revealed.

This guy's personality is still as noisy as before.

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

Little Nebula's evolution was successfully completed, and there was no interference during the process. When returning to the Ocean Residents Village, Qiao Ran felt a little incredible. He looked like he was facing a great enemy, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

With the combat power replenished by Little Nebula, Qiao Ran and the others still chose to start from the air... and then return to Coconut Tree Island. Unlike when they went to the altar, they did not need to consider the consumption of combat power on the way back, they just needed to let themselves go. Moreover, after experiencing the previous battle, Qiao Ran had very little physical strength left. It was definitely unrealistic to ask him to walk back.

If possible, he even wanted to go back to the real world to rest, but before returning to the real world, they still had to go to Coconut Tree Island.

Their purpose of going there was not only to send Jasmine back

In addition, it was also to formally return the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute. After all, these two were treasures belonging to Alola. Even though Qiao Ran and others borrowed them for a while, they had no intention of taking them for themselves.

Besides, this thing only has the function of allowing the Star Children to evolve. For the time being, they can't use it.

"When I get back, I will draw what happened today as soon as possible!"

On the way back, Jasmine kept talking excitedly. It seemed that everything that happened today really gave her a great stimulation. Although she did not see Qiao Ran fighting in another world, the scene of blowing the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute was still beautiful and shocking enough.

Just now, a legendary Pokémon evolved—and she was a witness.

"Back! Back!"

“…It’s that bird!”

When approaching the Coconut Tree Island, the appearance of Qiao Ran and others attracted the attention of a group of people, especially Yveltal's iconic appearance, which made these ocean dwellers recognize him at a glance. However, after hearing what these people said, Yveltal became irritable again.

"Who is the bird? You are all birds!"

If Qiao Ran had not allowed it, she would have definitely spit it out directly. As the God of Death, she does not have so many constraints. No matter how many deaths she brings, there will always be someone else who brings as many lives. Everything exists in a kind of dynamic balance. Therefore, for her, it is enough to do whatever she wants.

But now I have to listen to... and refer to what Qiao Ran says.

The arrival of Qiao Ran and others was once again watched and welcomed by the villagers. Hapu, who stayed on the Coconut Tree Island, also ran out and happily met everyone.

"You've solved it? Really solved it?"

Good news always makes people happy. After Jasmine explained that the Moon Altar was completely safe, everyone cheered.

Of course, in addition to this, the little nebula also attracted the attention of many villagers. After all, its appearance was too unique, and it looked like the legendary...

Why is the color not right?

Little Xingyun didn't seem to have any aversion to being watched by people, but seemed quite excited. After all, he had been cocooned for so long, and he probably wanted to interact with people.

"Thank you for helping us so much."

Qiao Ran and Lillie took this opportunity to hand the flute to Hapuu and Jasmine. This is a treasure of Coconut Tree Island and also a treasure of Poni Island. If possible, Qiao Ran hopes to keep the flute here. Maybe in the next few thousand years, there will be someone who needs this treasure.

"It's you who helped us." Hapu nodded and solemnly took the flute.

"Yeah..." Jasmine also nodded with a smile. The situation on the island was getting better and better, and she also saw such a beautiful picture. All of this was something she could not have imagined before.

Hapuu put the flute into her bag and placed it on the back of the heavy mud horse, preparing to put the flute back on the altar on the island. She looked at Qiao Ran and Liliae and couldn't help asking a question.

"After that...are you planning on going somewhere else? Since you've already been to other islands in Alola, then..."

Hapuu was a little unsure about what Qiao Ran and the others were going to do next. She thought that if Qiao Ran and the others had no plans, they might as well stay with them for a while. It just so happened that she and Jasmine both liked them very much.

"us……"

Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liliae beside him with a smile.

"Hmm... maybe we should just rest for a while, and then we might try exploring other areas."

The matter in Alola was probably indeed over, and they had some time to breathe. However, before taking the next step and heading to other areas, Qiao Ran and the others probably still had some things to do.

For example, go and see Tapu on other islands, or see what's happening on Lusamine's side, and the most important thing is actually what's happening on Nebula's side.

Its abilities are not limited to combat.

Chapter 749 [Rest]

In short, there are indeed a lot of things to do in the future, and Qiao Ran and others have a lot of time to deal with them slowly.

After all, they were really planning to rest for a few days. After a series of adventures and battles, they were really exhausted. Especially him, he was probably the most ruthless one in this period.

Qiao Ran also hopes to take advantage of this time to go to the next city in the real world and get a new badge - no matter what, he will not give up participating in the real-world league competition. If he really misses this year's league competition, he will definitely regret it.

As for their next destination in the Pokémon world, barring any unexpected events, they would most likely head directly to the Unova region; they couldn't stay in one place for long. This wasn't just Mei's wish, it was also Zhulan's. Furthermore, their strength was far greater than when Qiao Ran was drawn into that world. If they were to return now, at least in terms of strength, Qiao Ran would be more assured.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no risk at all.

, Unova is actually the most dangerous place. After all, the situation there is confusing. Reshiram's description is like a riddle man, always talking about the ideas of some world. Qiao Ran is not sure what she wants to express. Maybe... there is something that only Pokémon can get.

After returning the two legendary flutes and sending Jasmine back to Coconut Tree Island, Qiao Ran and others' mission was basically completed. Qiao Ran had no new plans for the future. He just wanted to return to the real world and have a good rest.

As expected, upon arriving at the inn in the real world, Qiao Ran collapsed onto the bed. He barely communicated with Lillie and the others during the entire process, drifting off to sleep. In the end, Lillie and the others helped him straighten the quilt. After such a battle, Qiao Ran was truly exhausted.

He really just wanted to have a good rest.

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

When he woke up again, it was already night.

It was already pitch black outside the window, and the lights in the room were off. Liliae and Mitsuki had already fallen asleep, and coincidentally, they were right next to him.

Qiao Ran could only carefully get up from the bed, go to the bathroom to change clothes, and then plan to go outside to move around a bit.

"...It's not so bad to go to bed too early."

Since he went to bed early, Qiao Ran didn't wake up at the right time. Looking at his phone, it was only three o'clock. There were still several hours before the sun rose the next day.

After leaving the hotel, Qiao Ran strolled around the nearby snack street and found something to eat. Although sleeping directly could replenish a lot of energy, he would still feel hungry when he was hungry, especially since he had not eaten lunch or dinner. This was even more unbearable.

After eating, Qiao Ran found that there was nothing worth going to nearby. If he went back, everyone would be sleeping. Although he might be the most tired one among them, they actually didn't have much to do. They still had a lot of roads to walk and battles to fight on the way. Except for himself, they also needed a good rest.

"Let's go to the frontier and take a look. If that doesn't work, we can just catch up on some sleep there..."

With nowhere to go, Qiao Ran could only try to relieve his loneliness in the open space. At least, it was nice to lie on the grass over there and look at the sky. He finally had such a chance to empty his mind and have a good rest. Maybe because he was too comfortable, he could even fall asleep.

As for encountering other Pokémon, Qiao Ran didn't actually expect that to happen. After all, Pokémon also needed to rest, and their schedules were basically the same as Qiao Ran and the others, especially at three or four in the middle of the night when everyone was already fast asleep.

"I'm the only one who's not sleeping, Loto."

"You don't need sleep."

Looking at Rotom appearing in front of him, Qiao Ran couldn't help but complain.

As a ghost Pokémon that possesses electrical appliances, Rotom does not need to sleep to rest. As for the other ghost Pokémon, Qiao Ran is not too clear about their respective situations. If we only talk about Mimikyu, she doesn't seem to rest much at night.

Otherwise, when you go to the frontier later, just look for Mimikyu.

Qiao Ran thought that since he was going to the frontier, it would be best if he could encounter his own Pokémon. Otherwise, he would probably just have to lie on the grass and spend the night with Rotom.

Regarding Rotom - although the strange ball of light was no longer trying to disguise itself as Rotom, Qiao Ran still felt that she was hiding something from him. Whether it was the ball of light or Rotom itself, Qiao Ran had confirmed the matter of that world with Rotom before, and Rotom had clearly not appeared there at the time, so how could she possibly know all this?

Moreover, the ability of that light ball to transform into a Poké Ball seems like a very "abnormal" power no matter how you look at it. Do these things really have nothing to do with Rotom, who calls himself a "system Pokémon"?

"..."

There are no answers to these questions for the time being. Even if Qiao Ran asks, they don't seem to intend to explain. However, Qiao Ran is not in a hurry to know these things. At least at this stage, they are all willing to help him.

——That should be enough.

After all, just these current events alone had already exhausted him physically and mentally. If he were to think and worry about more, he wouldn't be able to handle or react to them. The light ball's words weren't entirely unreasonable. For him right now, this level was already his limit.

Through Rotom, Qiao Ran opened the portal to the frontier.

In the frontier, the sky and the earth were still pitch black. However, when Qiao Ran lay skillfully on the grass and looked up at the sky, he saw something completely different from before.

He actually saw twinkling stars in the sky that had been empty all the time, and then a breeze blew past him.

"..."

——Something appeared behind him.

There is no such clear distinction between the other party and oneself.

There was no clear connection, but Qiao Ran did feel the other party's presence.

Chapter 750 [Nebula]

"Little Nebula?"

Qiao Ran gently called out the other party's name, and behind him appeared Nebula, who had evolved into Lunala. The huge, blood-red round wings were probably the only Pokémon that could possess them.

Moreover, what surprised Qiao Ran the most was that the arrival of the small nebula actually brought new changes to the frontier. Although those twinkling things in the sky did not look like real stars, they brought a bit of life to this lonely night.

It was clearly not his Pokémon, but it still managed to do this.

...Could it be that even Pokémon's Pokémon is related to him?

“luuu.”

Little Xingyun leaned against Qiao Ran's back. Although it was already midnight, it didn't seem to want to sleep at all.

"...After all, you're the Moon Goddess of Alola, so you're probably more energetic at night?"

Qiao Ran had originally thought that he might only be able to chat with Rotom for one night, but he didn't expect to meet Nebula directly. Lillie and the others usually put their Pokémon in the frontier, so Qiao Ran had many opportunities to meet these Pokémon. However, there were not many that were very close to him.

Little Nebula is a very special one among them.

"But if you're like this, there's no way you can just fall to the ground, right?"

Qiao Ran turned his head and glanced at the small nebula behind him. Due to the change in its shape after evolution, its body basically no longer had structures such as "feet". Although it did not have them originally, one consequence of this was that it had to remain floating in the air all the time.

"luuu."

However, just after Qiao Ran finished saying this, Little Xingyun fell down on the grass as if it wanted to refute. Although it was definitely impossible for it to stand up directly, it could still fall down.

"you……"

Qiao Ran rolled his eyes speechlessly. This guy was still as playful as before, and it seemed that he had no dignity as a legendary Pokémon at all. If it were Yveltal, she would definitely not lie on the ground like this. It was too casual.

“…I can do that, too.”

Suddenly, a soft voice, which seemed to be a girl's, sounded in Qiao Ran's mind, and this voice gave him a very familiar feeling.

"...Little Nebula?"

Qiao Ran seemed to have heard the telepathy from Xiao Xingyun and the other party's voice before, but this time the voice was much clearer than before, and the familiar feeling became stronger.

He always felt that he had heard these things somewhere, but after trying to recall them no matter how hard he tried, he finally regarded them as hallucinations.

"Yes, yes, it's me, it's my concubine."

"...?"

When Qiao Ran heard the voice suddenly coming from his mind, he was happy at first, then a puzzled expression instantly appeared on his face, and then a bunch of question marks popped up in his head.

"What?"

What the hell is this concubine?
