Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"I know...it's not the master's fault...it was Vulpix who seduced the master, right?"

"Eh?"

Diancie's sudden words left Qiao Ran unable to react for a moment.

Vulpix...?

Wait...why does Diancie know about Vulpix...

she……

Qiao Ran's thoughts were suddenly in a mess. He didn't figure out what was going on until Diancie took him to find Rotom and sent him back to the real world.

He was very tired and felt dazed.

Diancie stood beside his bed and covered him with the quilt. Even after doing all this, Qiao Ran didn't say another word.

He had reached his limit both physically and mentally, and looking at Diancie's complicated eyes, he didn't know what to say.

Diancie...

How much does she know?

"Master... have a good rest. See you tomorrow."

After saying good night, Diancie took out a Poké Ball, turned into a ray of light under the bright moonlight, and disappeared into the ball.

Chapter 124 121 [A Method]

the next day.

Qiao Ran woke up tiredly from his sleep. Everything that happened yesterday made him feel groggy until now.

Because he had already booked a trip, he did not go to the frontier immediately. Although he was very worried about the situation of Diancie, Vulpix and the others, in order to catch the booked ticket, Qiao Ran had to pack up his things and go to the station to wait for the train before rushing on his way.

Sitting in his seat, watching the scenery outside the window pass by rapidly, in order to divert his attention, Qiao Ran thought of some words that the old man Ouyang Cong had said to him.

"If you meet my good friend, you can study with her for a while. I believe you will benefit a lot."

"As for your Pokémon... it does look quite unusual. I've never seen anything this bizarre in Juqu Mountain before. But you can rest assured. As long as I remain the gym leader, I won't easily reveal this news. I'll keep Juqu Mountain as it is now. Before you're fully grown, you need to be mindful of yourself and avoid being too eager for quick success."

"This old man is indeed very special."

Until he left, Qiao Ran still didn't know the identity of this old woman, but her words still benefited him a lot.

——Qiao Ran chose a car this time, which is also the most flexible means of transportation in the current situation. After all, his destination is not a big city, but a freshwater lake far away from the big city.

Qiao Ran supported his cheeks and couldn't help but think of other things. Although he tried his best not to think about these problems, it was impossible not to think about them.

After all, those are what I care about most...Pokémon.

Last night, watching Diancie cover herself with a blanket, Qiao Ran even had an urge to jump up and hold her in his arms, but... his body and heart couldn't do it, and he didn't know what Diancie was thinking.

"Why...why did it turn out like this? What happened to Diancie? How did she know?"

Sitting in the car, Qiao Ran's doubts grew deeper and deeper. According to common sense, Diancie shouldn't know about this, unless...

She sneaked out of the Poké Ball halfway and saw what was happening outside.

Or maybe someone passed on information to her?

An idea gradually came to Qiao Ran's mind, and he reached into his pocket and took out the cell phone.

"Rotom, do you know anything? What's their current situation?"

Qiao Ran typed on the screen and asked about Rotom.

He had no way of jumping to the frontier while riding in a car, because his spatial position was closely bound to this world and referred to the world coordinate system. If he went to the frontier while riding in a car, then when he came out again, he would not appear in the car, but on the main road he passed when entering. At that time, he would most likely be greeted by a car accident.

"I don't know either, Loto... but they seem fine, Master, don't worry.ヾ(▽)ノ"

Rotom responded quickly, even typing a smiley face. However, Qiao Ran didn't feel reassured after seeing her reply. After all, this guy had too many criminal records. Asking her was just for fun at best. If he really wanted to find out, he would have to wait until he went to the frontier to take a look.

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

Qiao Ran leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and dozed off for a while. When he woke up again, the car had arrived at its destination.

This is a small town near Zhenze Lake. It is not a very prosperous place, but it is quite beautiful and peaceful.

"Yangxian Town..."

Qiao Ran took the travel guide he bought on the roadside and began to look for a nearby Pokémon Center. After all, as an adventurer, the first thing he should do when arriving in a new place is to find a local Pokémon Center.

In the Pokémon Center, not only can you get free food and accommodation, but you can also get a lot of other assistance. The Alliance is still very willing to invest a lot in training trainers and maintaining the operation of the entire Alliance.

After arriving at the Pokémon Center and checking in, Qiao Ran contacted Meiyi via video call.

According to the previous plan, Mei will meet him at Tianwang's house, and Qiao Ran will also contact her on time to discuss the latest situation with her.

"Yes, I've already arrived in Yangxian. I guess we'll reach our destination soon. After all, Yangxian is right next to Zhenze Lake."

"That's great... It must be nice to be able to travel outside, right? If I have the chance, I'd also like to take a good trip... It would definitely be fun to travel with you."

Listening to Qiao Ran's narration, Mei in the video couldn't help but reveal an envious look. As a Pokémon trainer, she had no reason not to like the life of traveling and adventure. However, due to the current complicated situation, she had to give up this option. Before her hometown returned to normal, she probably wouldn't calm down and start adventures.

"By the way, Mei, I want to ask you a question. It's about Pokémon breeding."

Suddenly, Qiao Ran asked a question that had been on his mind all along the way. Sometimes, as a trainer, he had to ask others for advice. Mei's strength was indeed worth learning from.

"About Pokémon?" Hearing Qiao Ran's words, Meiyi straightened her chest and stood up straighter.

"Of course, no problem. Just ask me about anything related to Pokémon."

Mei smiled very confidently. When it comes to Pokémon, she won't lose to anyone.

"Hmm... Then let me ask, um... if two Pokémon are having a dispute over something, and I want them to reconcile, what should I do?"

Qiao Ran thought about it and told the story of some recent events in a different way. He still hoped that Mei could give him some advice.

"There's a dispute over something... Could it be that you didn't distribute it properly?... That's not okay. As a trainer, you can't be partial to Pokémon."

After hearing what Qiao Ran said, Meiyi put her hand under her chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and spoke like a famous detective making inferences.

"If that's the case, it's actually very easy to reconcile them."

"This……"

Qiao Ran took a deep breath: "What should I do?"

As expected of the heroine of the Pokémon world, would she be able to do something at a time like this?

"There is only one way--" A gleam flashed in Mei's eyes.

"—Just let them out together, and then have a good time with them! Finally, distribute the things that were not distributed before in front of them. Don't be partial. This way, everyone will definitely be on the same page!"

Mei folded her arms over her chest and nodded in agreement. She was also quite excited when she talked about her own experience.

However, after hearing her words, Qiao Ran opened his mouth wide.

"Ha ha?"

Let them come out and have some fun?

And we need to divide what they want equally among them?? Equally??

This……

"This... is a bit difficult to operate."

Cold sweat appeared on Qiao Ran's forehead. If he really did that, would he not be beaten to death?

Chapter 125 122 [Solving the Problem]

"Okay...Okay, I

Got it, I'll think about it."

Although Qiao Ran understood that the method Meiyi mentioned did have the possibility of success, and it was indeed the method she proposed without reservation, the feasibility of this method was really too low.

Qiao Ran even felt that he might be attacked by various shock waves during the execution and fall down on the spot. Now he couldn't even deal with one of them, so what about two at the same time?

As the saying goes, food should be eaten one bite at a time and people should be approached one by one. Qiao Ran doesn't think he has the ability to eat Snorlax in one bite.

"Okay, think about it carefully. If you have any questions, you can always call me."

Mei is very concerned about Qiao Ran's problem. After all, it concerns Pokémon, so Mei is still very concerned about it.

"If you really can't solve it, you can wait for me to come over and we can figure it out together. I'll be there soon too."

What Mei said was exactly her next arrangement - as Dr. Lilia's assistant, she would also participate in this scientific expedition. Her strength and ability were quite important among these people.

However, after hearing her words, Qiao Ran hurriedly shook his head.

"Um...that...I'll find a way to solve it, so you don't have to worry too much."

Now he has a mess here that he can't clean up. If Mei comes and interferes, won't it be even more chaotic?

"All right……"

Mei didn't care and continued chatting with Qiao Ran for a while before hanging up the phone.

Putting down the phone in his hand, Qiao Ran looked at the motionless image on the screen and the girl's amazing heart. For some reason, an idea popped up in his mind.

——If Mei comes to help, maybe Vulpix and Diancie can really reconcile and unite?

"Um……"

Qiao Ran looked at people’s hearts, and an inexplicable light gradually emerged in his eyes.

"Really? There's no gym locally... Then the nearest bus to Zhenze Lake is..."

Before resting at night, Qiao Ran specially found the nurses in the Elf Center to chat with them. For some reason, looking at the nurses' pink hair, Qiao Ran always had a sense of security from the bottom of his heart. Instead of asking irrelevant passers-by on the street, Qiao Ran still preferred to chat with the nurses.

Besides, nurses are particularly gentle, much better than passers-by.

"The next bus is of course tomorrow morning. You'll need to ask at the station for details. The buses that take tourists sightseeing don't run too early, unless they're part of an organized tour group."

The nurse answered with a smile. Generally speaking, adventurers who came to their place would go to take a look at Zhenze Lake. After all, it was one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, and almost no one could suppress their curiosity.

Back in the room, Qiao Ran fell on his bed.

"Sure enough, it's tomorrow morning."

If he wanted to buy a ticket, he would need to buy an extra one for Lillie and then call her out as well. After all, the letter of recommendation that Professor Lillie had written for him mentioned Lillie, a person from another world.

If Lillie suddenly disappeared, he couldn't possibly explain that he accidentally lost her on the way, right?

"I'll inform Lillie later. Now I'd better go to the frontier first..."

Qiao Ran sat up from the bed. He had been thinking about the Pokémon problem for a whole day, and finally the time came to face this problem. To be honest, he was still a little nervous inside.

"Rotom."

"exist!"

Rotom spun in the air, and a flash of light appeared—Qiao Ran appeared in a beautiful world of green grass. Just like in the real world, it was night here.

The starry light sprinkled down from the sky, but strangely, there seemed to be no moon in this world, and the night still lacked a little flavor.

"You probably haven't gone to bed yet? It's still quite early."

Qiao Ran's arrival resonated throughout the world, and the first to notice it were naturally his Pokémon. The closer their connection with Qiao Ran, the more they could sense these things.

However, in the dim night, the first thing that appeared in front of Qiao Ran was a large black and red bird that fell from the sky.

"Yi Ao——"

"Hey, when is the next match?"

Yveltal seemed to have turned into a battle fanatic. As soon as she saw Qiao Ran, she came over to ask about the game. If someone who didn't know her saw her, they would think she loved playing games.

"The next time shouldn't be too long. I'll let you play when I get a chance. After all, it's more important for you to level up right now."

"What's wrong? If you want what happened last time...can't you just come to me directly?"

Qiao Ran couldn't help but ask with a smile. Looking at her restless look, her thoughts were too easy to guess.

"What... I didn't even think about that! I just wanted to destroy it, don't talk nonsense!"

Yveltal's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little flustered.

However, she immediately put on a stern face and returned to her original majestic, cool look.

"Hmph... Anyway, hurry up and arrange it, don't keep me waiting.
