Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Mimikyu's voice was not loud, but in Qiao Ran's ears at this moment, it seemed like the most beautiful melody.

At that moment, he knew that all his previous efforts were not in vain, because - he really understood what Mimikyu was saying.

It was a female voice that was very soft, a little timid, but very ethereal and tender.

"Good... Good morning..."

Chapter 143 140 [Special Training! ]

Although Mimikyu's voice is very low, it is a huge improvement. You know, she was always silent before.

Taking advantage of the free time in the morning, Qiao Ran lay on the bed and continued to chat patiently with Mimikyu.

"Mi..."

In the process of chatting, the two gradually got to know each other better.

As the story deepens, Qiao Ran also learns about some things that happened to Mimikyu in the past.

She had been living in this mansion for as long as she could remember. Initially, she knew nothing, not even her own identity. She simply wandered aimlessly, spreading curses and misfortune throughout the mansion. Eventually, it was the other Mimikyu seniors who arrived upon hearing the news and told her she was a member of Mimikyu. Only then did she realize who she truly was and understand her identity.

"This child still doesn't know anything, and I won't blame her. However, this won't happen again."

The owner of the mansion said this and forgave her for the commotion she had caused. No one liked Mimikyu exposed to the outside world. Whether it was its ugly appearance or its terrible curse, it was a disgusting existence.

After knowing his identity, even Mimikyu himself may dislike himself a little.

So from that time on, she also followed the example of other predecessors and got a Pikachu doll to wear on her body to prevent herself from affecting others.

Until now, she has no way to leave this protection.

"Really?...it's not easy for you either."

Qiao Ran stretched out his fingers and rubbed her head. Unlike Vulpix who had been with him since birth, Mimikyu's past experiences might not have been so pleasant. It could even be said that she had lived a meaningless life like a "ghost".

She had no dreams and no worries, no treasures and no people she cherished. All she did was to survive.

"But you don't have to do this in the future. I will take you to see more things."

Qiao Ran felt that he had to do this and should do this. Everything about this child was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. As a trainer, he also needed to guide her to discover her ideals and the meaning of life.

Not everyone is born with a mission, but only those who clearly define their mission can make their lives full of brilliance.

If you keep hiding in the shadows, the world will only have one color.

"Mi..." Mimikyu responded softly. She didn't really understand what Qiao Ran was saying, but she could feel the emotions in this man's heart. Is he... worried about me?

The relationship between Qiao Ran and Mimikyu has made great progress, and the atmosphere has gradually improved. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly broke the peaceful silence.

"You seem to be making good progress~~"

"Mi...?" Mimikyu shuddered all over and turned around tremblingly. Only then did she realize that behind her - on the other side of the bed, there was a woman with long golden hair lying.

This... this this this this this guy is...!

"Are you awake too?" Qiao Ran smiled and didn't feel any surprise. Lillie had said last night that she didn't dare to sleep alone, so she had decided from the beginning to sleep in the same bed with Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran didn't have much objection to this. Unlike those Pokémon that behaved unruly, Lillie always slept properly and nothing strange would happen.

"Well... I've been awake for a while now. It's great that you two have become closer."

Lillie laughed softly, her golden bangs trembling slightly in front of her forehead. Even in bed, her movements were as calm as a young lady.

Moreover, perhaps because she became a "Pokémon", Lillie can also understand some of the Pokémon language. Although she can't reach the level of translation, she can understand the general meaning of it.

"Mi..."

Watching Qiao Ran and Lillie's familiar conversation, Mimikyu called out softly, her voice sounding a little aggrieved. She didn't want to be with anyone else...

Qiao Ran alone is already her limit.

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

After getting up from the bed, there were still two days before the competition officially started, and Qiao Ran was confident that he could make greater changes to Mimikyu.

"So, let's train!"

While Lillie was washing and dressing up, Qiao Ran brought Mimikyu to the frontier and introduced her to the other Pokémon.

Meeting the other Pokémon was a process every one of his Pokémon had to go through, but Mimikyu still seemed quite resistant, constantly mumbling things like, "I don't want to meet other lifeforms, I just want to be alone," and "I'll die if I meet anyone else." However, after Qiao Ran's repeated requests and his promise to hold her the entire time, she reluctantly agreed.

Qiao Ran let each of his Pokémon meet Mimikyu, but Mimikyu remained stiff throughout the whole process, not saying a word, like a wooden man.

"So small."

Yveltal took one look at Mimikyu and immediately lost interest. This guy's body was not even as big as the claws on her wings. Although this new partner had the same attribute fluctuations as the stupid deer, this was not a reason to arouse Yveltal's interest.

There are so many fairy-attribute Pokémon, especially among her master, there are so many of them.

The bluebird also flew down from the sky, wanting to see her new companion, but when she saw the mystery

When he was simulating Q, he tilted his head in a somewhat naive manner.

"Master... Is this... a Pokémon? It's not just a doll, is it?"

Qiao Ran's mouth twitched, but he continued to smile: "It's a Pokémon, a real Pokémon. Even though she can't move, it's definitely a Pokémon."

His original intention of coming this time was to let Mimikyu meet everyone and let everyone get to know each other, but - this Mimikyu really didn't give him face.

As soon as she got too many people, she immediately turned to stone. Even when the friendly Diancie greeted her, Mimikyu didn't respond. Finally, it was only after Qiao Ran and the Pokémon explained Mimikyu's personality that Diancie and the others finally understood what was going on with this new companion.

"So that's how it is... Since the new sister is shy, then we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's get to know each other better later."

Diancie was considerate and helped Qiao Ran out of the predicament. It was not known whether it was Qiao Ran's illusion, but since he spent a night with Vulpix in Diancie's cave that day, Diancie seemed to have become much more sensible, and had an inexplicable aura about her.

"Ahem... Anyway, in the next few days, you all need to help this new partner with special training. I'll be troubled by your help when the time comes."

Qiao Ran looked at the Pokémon in front of him and coughed lightly.

Although Phoebe, as a superstar, may have her own trump card, Qiao Ran also has his biggest trump card.

——He can continuously improve the level of his Pokémon through victory, which is a terrifying ability that no one else has.

As long as he fights, fights, and keeps fighting, he will be invincible!

"So, let's go for special training!"

Chapter 144 141 [Cultivation]

"Mimikyu is currently at level twenty-two. My goal is to raise her to level twenty-five or above within the next few days."

"Even though Mimikyu isn't good at fighting, as long as we can suppress her in terms of level, everything else will be easy."

In the battles Qiao Ran had participated in before, he was always suppressed by the opponent in terms of level. The one with Yveltal was a terrifying level difference of thirty levels. If it weren't for Yveltal being so strong, if it were any other ordinary Pokémon, it would probably be scared to death by the opponent's eyes when it stepped onto the competition field.

This wasn't an exaggeration; a thirty-level difference was enough to leap from a novice trainer to a top gym leader. Could the students at the school withstand a single blow from Tie Ji? Definitely not.

This time, Qiao Ran finally had a chance to surpass his opponent in level. He was determined to experience this feeling.

Level suppression...what kind of feeling would that be? Thinking about it for a moment, Qiao Ran couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"I'll take you to the Aether Foundation for training later. Yveltal, you should come too. You can't let your level drop."

Although Mimikyu's training is important, Yveltal cannot be neglected. After all, she is the guarantee of their future, and she must become stronger.

"oh."

Hearing Qiao Ran's instructions, Yveltal responded indifferently. She didn't really care about this kind of thing. It wasn't like she was going to play in a game, so this kind of training didn't have any special meaning to her at all.

Mimikyuu shrank back, "Are we really going to fight...?"

"Isn't this something we've already agreed on? You and the other Mimikyu will have a match in two days."

Qiao Ran hugged her body and told her not to be so nervous.

"But don't worry, as long as I'm here, everything will be fine."

"In two days, let the other ghosts in the mansion see... just how powerful you are. Maybe they'll even envy you."

"Mi..."

Although she was still a little nervous, after hearing what Qiao Ran said, Mimikyu felt that she might be able to trust this man. There was a reassuring power in his words.

Can she...also show her strength to the other ghosts in the mansion?

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

The training time passed quickly, and Qiao Ran didn't even realize how much time had passed before it was already a day later - the night before the competition officially started.

During this short period of time, Qiao Ran trained Mimikyu bit by bit, and fought against Mizuki's Pokémon and his own Pokémon.

In order to focus on Mimikyu's training and to give her strength and encouragement, Qiao Ran has been almost inseparable from her during this period. Whether he is sleeping or doing anything else, he will try his best to keep her by his side.

This is a very important process, which can not only cultivate the tacit understanding between the two, but also make Mimikyu and Qiao Ran have a higher connection rate and make more contributions in the battle.

High-risk command.

Only high risks can bring high returns. A trainer who only uses routine operations is destined to have no chance of becoming one of the top ones. Only high-risk commands can help him break through himself.

Of course, in order to allow Mimikyu to fight more battles, Qiao Ran also secretly used some of Viridian's power to heal Mimikyu's injuries and cheer her up. Mimikyu herself might not have noticed these small details, because Qiao Ran only did them secretly when Mimikyu was lying in his arms.

Mimikyu was still wondering why she suddenly felt comfortable.

Do I really enjoy being held so much...? It's actually getting more and more comfortable...?

I...so this is the Pokémon I belong to...

Mimikyu fell into deep self-doubt.

"Tomorrow is the day of the competition, but we still have one day to train, and Mei will also be here tomorrow morning."

Lying on the bed in the mansion room, Qiao Ran released all the fatigue he had accumulated during this period. Although the one being trained was Mimikyu, as a trainer he also consumed a lot of energy. In addition to the need to channel the power of Tokiwa, he also had to consume a lot of energy to give commands, and he would also feel tired.

"Is Mei coming tomorrow too? That's so soon..."

Lillie on the side couldn't help but sigh. She also felt that time passed very quickly. She had been sleeping next to Qiao Ran for the past few days. Although nothing strange happened, she felt very safe and comfortable.

Suddenly, Lillie reached out, took out a small headdress from the pillow, and came to Mimikyu.

——It was a small cherry-pink flower. Although it was a handicraft made of cloth, it looked vivid as if it had life.

"...?"

Mimikyu didn't understand Lillie's actions, but there was always a smile on Lillie's face.

"Um... this is a gift I made specially these days. I found the materials at the foundation. I hope you like it. Since it's Qiao Ran's Pokémon, we will be companions from now on."

As Lillie spoke, she handed the cherry-pink flower to Mimikyu, wanting to help her put it on her head.

Lillie has always wanted to improve the relationship between herself and Mimikyu, so during this period of time, in addition to studying, she has been making this. So, this is also a small item that has cost her a lot of effort.

"Tomorrow is the day of your competition. You will definitely win."

"Mi..."

Mimikyu subconsciously wanted to step back, but in the end, she seemed to understand something and stopped thinking about it.

She stood there and did not stop Liliae's actions.

The experiences of the past few days had caused some changes in her heart, and these changes did not make her feel disgusted. On the contrary, she felt that maintaining this state seemed to be quite good.

This girl... had no intention of hurting her...

Lillie also took this opportunity to help Mimikyu put on the little flower properly.

Liliae laughed softly.

"It suits you very well. It's different from other Mimikyu~"

Just as Lillie said, the current Mimikyu has a cuter feeling than before, and even the doll's skin can be made to look very beautiful.

"Ah... I'll help you with some other things later, okay? How about that?"

But as she watched, a light suddenly appeared in Lillie's eyes, and a bold idea came to her mind - Mimikyu... is a stuffed doll that can change clothes at will!

Chapter 145 142 [See You Again]

Liliae likes dolls. She has been interested in this kind of things since she was a child.

Her parents were always busy. As the leaders and scientists of the foundation, they rarely had the chance to spend time with her. After her father disappeared, Lillie and her mother Lusamine had even less time to spend together.

The one who accompanied Lillie through this lonely time was the Pippi doll given to her by her mother. Every night, she needed to hold the doll in her arms to fall asleep.

However, with the appearance of Qiao Ran, Lillie seemed to gradually change this habit. She even gave the important Pippi doll to Miyue. This doll not only witnessed the friendship between her and Miyue, but also represented Lillie's determination to change herself and move forward.

However... after making small accessories for Mimikyu, Lillie seemed to have opened the door to her childhood memories again. She really still likes dolls.

"Well... If you like, I don't mind making some decorations, as long as it doesn't affect the battle."
