Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

After putting on the white coat, she looked much more rational.

"The root cause of this mentality is still a lack of security... At this time, what we should do is to give her support. This is what she wants and desires most... So my plan is..."

"Qiao...Qiao Ran, please go quickly. Stop looking at me like that."

Realizing that Qiao Ran seemed to be staring at her, Lillie couldn't help but let out a coquettish cry and patted Qiao Ran's chest.

"These two guys..." Meiyue, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch her lips when she noticed the little movements of these two guys. She felt like a light bulb was shining above her head.

These two guys completely act as if they don't exist.

"Yeah...yeah, I know."

Qiao Ran stared blankly away from Lillie's blushing cheeks, turned around and walked towards the door on the other side.

He kept moving forward, but in his heart he couldn't help but think - Lillie realized that Mimikyu needed someone to rely on because she put herself in his shoes.

So, about herself——

Where is her support...?

Chapter 141 138 [Evil Task]

Lillie's plan, although it sounds complicated, is actually quite simple if put into practice.

That is to have Qiao Ran play the role of a "savior," rescuing the "princess" Mimikyu from danger, allowing the "princess" to develop a sense of dependence on the "savior," thus breaking through the previously awkward and rigid relationship. Of course, there may also be a drawbridge effect at work here.

This routine is very common in various classical fairy tales and has been an eternal classic from ancient times to the present.

The reason why a routine becomes a routine is not because it is old-fashioned enough - it is because it is so easy to use and convenient that everyone likes to do it.

Of course, in contrast to the "savior", this plan also requires a pure "villain". The villain in this script is positioned to bring fear and malice. His position is extremely important and requires a guy who can make people shudder at first sight to play the role.

Qiao Ran looked around at his Pokémon. First, Diancie, Vulpix, Suicune, and Tanabata were out of the question. Their appearances didn't lend themselves to villain roles; they were more like cuteness. As for Sora, she'd always been disobedient and would often contradict him, often getting tossed to the ground and left there for the entire day. As for the unmistakably badass Yveltal... she was simply too big. She wouldn't be able to perform at her best in the narrow alleyways of the Aether Foundation. If she were squeezed in, she'd probably be crushed to a pulp. And... Qiao Ran had a feeling that if Mimikyu saw Yveltal directly, she'd probably faint out of fear.

Sometimes, being too afraid is not a good thing. These things must be controlled at an appropriate "degree" to be more appropriate.

After much deliberation, Qiao Ran ultimately chose Xuwuid—this Ultra Beast from another world inherently possesses a strange, oppressive aura, inducing hostility from any Pokémon from this world. Furthermore, Xuwuid doesn't speak the language of this world's Pokémon, meaning she wouldn't have to worry about awkward acting if she were to play the villain.

Sometimes, nonsense can be a huge advantage.

Qiao Ran used simple drawings to communicate with Xu Wu Yide about the responsibilities she needed to play. Although there may be some deviations, she basically knew what she needed to do.

——As long as you knock that doll down, everything will be OK!

“!&@!…&*@!&!!!!”

In the white alley, Xuwuide stretched out her tentacles and gathered the Power Gem once again. This rock-type light cannon skill gathered at the top of her tentacles and shot at the still fleeing Mimikyu like a laser beam.

“BOOM!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!”

Each shot of Xuwuide's light cannon carried a very powerful energy, but Mimikyu was like a mouse that put all its skill points into agility, and it dodged them all again.

...What's going on with this guy...?

Is he so good at escaping?

As Xuwuyide fought, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. As the leader of Xuwuyide and the center of the ultimate beasts, she was now troubled by a little mouse?

“…Mimimimi!”

Mimikyu on the other side was fleeing in panic. Although she avoided all the attacks, she also knew that this state would not last long. When she could no longer hold on and her physical strength began to deplete, that would be the time when she would be caught and eaten by the opponent!

Mimikyu glanced behind her. In a few seconds, her physical strength would probably decrease. At that time, she would still be able to

Are you running away like this now?

Is there anyone who can help me...

What about the other ghosts in the mansion? What about the owner of the mansion?

They...why aren't they here???!!

A feeling of powerless despair welled up in Mimikyu's heart. Being hunted by such a powerful Pokémon, with nowhere to hide, what should she do?

I...I'm not delicious!

In this unfamiliar environment, after she had tried everything she could, there was really nothing that could help her.

Mimikyu was both scared and desperate, but she hadn't given up completely in her heart.

No...no...maybe there's another person...

She couldn't help but think of that human figure, but...she had that attitude before...that human...

That human...could he have abandoned her and left here...?

Thinking of this, the tears that Mimikyu had been holding back began to well up in her eyes again. She couldn't understand why she, who had been living a peaceful life, had fallen into this situation.

Even if life was boring and meaningless back then, it was still a good life...

In a trance, Mimikyu felt that her body's consciousness began to drift away from her. Perhaps due to excessive consumption, she felt that she had lost control of her body.

"Mi..."

In her hazy vision, she seemed to see the familiar Western-style house again, which made her feel so at ease.

But - at this moment, a startled shout interrupted the illusion in her eyes.

"Diancie, Diamond Storm!"

"Dididididididi!"

A huge pink diamond tornado flew from the other end of the alley like a giant dragon and directly hit the terrifying soft-bodied creature.

“…!&@…!&@!”

Under this gorgeous and terrifying move, the soft-bodied creature screamed and actually fell from mid-air, then twitched a few times on the ground, and then seemed to have lost response and became completely motionless.

"Are you OK??"

A series of sudden events left Mimikyu with no time to react, and the next moment, she was actually being held in the arms of something. Mimikyu raised her head with difficulty and found that the guy holding her was the man who had chosen her before.

He...actually...didn't he abandon me?

...He saved me...?

This man...

"Mi..."

Mimikyu made a weak sound. She didn't resist at this moment. Perhaps it was because she had no strength left, or perhaps it was for some other reason. As for the real reason... I'm afraid only she herself would know.

At least... this feeling seems pretty good now...

Then... let's leave it at that for now...

Chapter 142 139 [Morning in the Mansion]

"Qiao Ran? What's the situation?"

Seeing Qiao Ran walk into the room from afar, Lillie was the first to greet him, while Miyue slowly approached.

"Shh... She might be tired. Let her rest for a while."

Qiao Ran asked them to keep their voices down. Mimikyu seemed to have fallen asleep in his arms. Qiao Ran had no intention of using the power of Tokiwa to heal her. After all, no matter what, it was far from the point where he needed to use the power of Tokiwa.

Xuwu Yide is still quite sensible... maybe.

"It looks so small like this... so cute."

Lillie leaned in to take a closer look at Mimikyu. This Pokémon was only about 0.2 meters in size. Even compared to Vulpix, it was indeed a tiny creature.

"It's small, but it runs pretty fast."

Qiao Ran smiled lightly, obviously in a very good mood. Lillie's plan had indeed greatly improved the relationship between him and Mimikyu. If it were before, Mimikyu would definitely not be willing to stay in his arms, let alone fall asleep in his arms.

Although this plan caused Mimikyu some hardship, Qiao Ran believed that he would have more time to make it up to her in the future, and he would not treat any of his Pokémon unfairly.

"But...it's said that Mimikyu's true form..."

Suddenly, Qiao Ran had a very bold idea for some reason. Mimikyu's body felt soft to the touch, and after picking her up, Qiao Ran could also feel that she was very light. However, he had no idea about Mimikyu's true form underneath the doll.

Under that skirt-like part... in that darkness... what exactly is hidden?

"Don't... don't look! Don't look!"

Just when Qiao Ran had this bold idea, Lilia stopped him nervously.

Lillie's expression suddenly became very serious.

"In our Alola legend, it's absolutely forbidden to look beneath the Mimikyu's true form... If you do, you'll be stricken with a mysterious illness and die a very, very tragic death!"

Mitsuki beside him also took over the conversation seriously: "Indeed... Although I am not a native of Alola, I have heard many similar legends.

The earliest place it was discovered was in the ruins of a supermarket in Alola. It is said that whoever sees the true form beneath the cloth will die in agony that very night..."

"Why is it getting worse? Didn't he get sick in the beginning? How come he died on the same day..."

Bombarded with all kinds of weird stories by the two girls in front of him, Qiao Ran couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. He knew a lot of urban legends about Mimikyu, but for some reason, he was still inexplicably eager to see what was under Mimikyu's skirt.

Is this some kind of dark temptation?

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air from the Ether Foundation.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Put that Mimikyu down and let her rest for a while."

Miyue shook her head. This man was still too unreliable. In the world of Pokémon, all rumors had to be believed. In this world, there were still many unknown forces. It would definitely be right to be careful.

"That's right...it's about time for Lillie and I to go back. If someone happens to come looking for us, it wouldn't be good if we weren't there."

Qiao Ran glanced at Meiyue and nodded slightly.

He and Lillie were both living in someone else's mansion now. If the owner suddenly came to visit and found that they were not in the room, it would be difficult to explain.

Qiao Ran did not intend to disclose his abilities to others. Apart from these limited people, he had not even mentioned a word to his relatives.

"Well...see you next time, Meiyue...um...I don't mind the clothes. If it's you, it's okay if we switch clothes occasionally...Um, if you need to buy new clothes, just talk to Qiao Ran."

Lillie also began to say goodbye to Mitsuki. After all, they came here on a whim. If they wanted to spend the night here, that would definitely not be possible. The chances of being discovered were too high.

However, Mitsuki couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Lillie's words.

"Who's going to tell him?"

Even if Miyue jumped into the sea and fell into a deep trench, she would never talk about such a topic with a man.

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

So warm...

What's wrong with me?

I... seemed to be chased by some monster just now?

Mimikyu's consciousness regained consciousness from the chaos, and she carefully opened her eyes. The first thing that caught her eye was not the terrifying light, nor the terrifying monster, but an extremely familiar scene.

Tightly closed curtains, elegant rooms, gorgeous decorations—there was no doubt that she seemed to be back in that Western-style house, but beside her, hugging her body, was another existence that surprised her immensely.

——That man.

He...how come he is here...?

That...isn't it a dream?

The man in front of her seemed to have fallen asleep, his eyelashes trembling slightly. Although Mimikyu still had many questions in her mind, but... in Mimikyu's heart, there was an unprecedented emotion spreading.

Her mind told her that she couldn't have too much contact with other people. She was afraid of the unknown and should hide in the dark corners she was familiar with, where no one could find her. However... her body seemed to be resisting this reasoning - when this man hugged her tightly and held her in his arms, that feeling had already filled her body.

Not only her body, but also her heart, felt warm. She even felt that she didn't need to look for any corner anymore.

Why……

What on earth is…?

She is a fairy and a cold ghost, but she is an outlier among them.

Why... did this man choose her in the first place...

Amidst his messy thoughts, Mimikyu did not move his body, but stayed quietly on the bed. As time passed, the sun gradually rose, and the first ray of sunlight at dawn broke through the curtains of the mansion and shone on Qiao Ran's face.

The boy slowly woke up from his sleep. The first moment he opened his eyes, he saw Mimikyu in front of him, blinking its little eyes and staring at him motionlessly.

"Good morning?"

Qiao Ran couldn't help but say hello, and to his great surprise, the Mimikyu opposite him also made a sound.

"Mi..."
