Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Although it was her first time to come into contact with this kind of thing, a feeling of nostalgia and excitement spread from Phoebe's body, making her want to have more.

"Hey……"

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Qiao Ran - however, just this one look made Qiao Ran's whole body covered with goose bumps.

No...not good!

This guy!

Qiao Ran wanted to reach out and take out his Poké Ball, but he was still a step too slow. Several snow demon girls appeared from the darkness and grabbed Qiao Ran's limbs, making him completely unable to move.

"What are you doing? You actually want to rebel against me~"

Phoebe spoke incoherently and looked like she was drunk. She even stopped calling herself a concubine. However, her rebellious attitude did not change at all.

"Carry it... away, um... throw it on the bed over there~"

"????"

A series of question marks popped up in Qiao Ran's head. What is this guy going to do? What is he going to do?

The Snow Demon Girl lifted his body and threw him on the bed on the other side. Then - his consciousness gradually began to become blurred.

The last time he was awake, he saw a winged black shadow swooping down on him, and then everything went black...

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

Three hours later.

"..."

"..."

Qiao Ran and Phoebe, who had changed into a new nightgown, sat on either side of the bed, both with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

"Um...don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, okay? Otherwise, I won't let you go."

Phoebe coughed lightly, trying to regain a bit of dignity, while Qiao Ran on the other side nodded in understanding.

"also."

At this point, he actually had no choice but to keep the secret - he couldn't possibly go all out with the other party, right?

Moreover, he had also seen the other party in a lot of embarrassing situations. This... should be considered as a handle, right?

Moreover, his body hadn't been in any danger for a while, nor had anyone taken advantage of him. But... during that time when he was half-conscious, his left hand had been subjected to inhumane treatment, nearly losing a layer of skin. If it had its own thoughts, it would probably be crouching in the corner crying.

"You don't need to wear this coat anymore, and this..."

Phoebe tore off Qiao Ran's coat, which had lost an entire sleeve, then took out a bottle of what looked like perfume and sprayed it on Qiao Ran's left hand.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Ran's eyebrows jumped. Why did this guy always do weird things?

"Do not ask!"

Phoebe glared at Qiao Ran fiercely, her expression ferocious and her cheeks slightly flushed. If he asked any more questions like this, she would knock Qiao Ran unconscious again.

"...Keep it a secret. I can provide you with anything else."

"..."

Qiao Ran walked towards the door speechlessly. What was going on with this feeling of being suddenly supported by a rich woman and then silenced?

But... the consumption of Viridian's power is quite huge...

What method did this guy use to make me use that ability in a trance?

Also, why do I always feel...

"You... forget it, ask next time."

Qiao Ran originally wanted to continue asking about Z moves and other things, but when he thought about the time and his own consumption, he gave up the idea. If he didn't go back, Lillie and the others would probably come looking for him everywhere.

He had actually disappeared for three hours, which was not a period that could be glossed over.

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Phoebe covered herself with the quilt and pointed at the door.

She still couldn't believe that she would suddenly do so many things to a man.

What happened to her?

Obviously... we are going to explore the ruins tomorrow.

She actually thought... that it was more important to do this kind of thing first?

Listening to Qiao Ran's footsteps fading away, Phoebe lay down on the bed and buried her head in the pillow.

This is so strange.

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

On the other side, Qiao Ran followed the route pointed out by the Snow Demon Girl and tiptoed back to his room.

However, there were neither candles nor lights in the room.

"?"

strangeness……

What about people?

Qiao Ran blinked in confusion, and then in the next second - a shout suddenly rang in his ears.

"Monarch snake! Roll that guy up!"

...Mei?

那很

It was obviously Mei's voice, but before Qiao Ran could think about it, something unexpected happened again.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Qiao Ran's body was entangled in the huge long object, and his limbs lost the ability to move.

"Okay, let me see... who you are..."

The lights suddenly came on, and Mei and Lillie, with their faces masked, appeared in front of Qiao Ran. However, after seeing that the person they were entangled with was Qiao Ran, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Eh? You... weren't captured by the evil organization???"

Chapter 156 153 [Sure enough]

In fact, until a few hours ago, Lillie and Mei had been lying on the bed, happily chatting about all sorts of bizarre topics. However, as time passed, the ominous premonition in their hearts grew stronger.

"Could it be... that Qiao Ran encountered something dangerous?"

Lillie frowned, realizing that things definitely weren't that simple.

"I've always felt that Phoebe was suspicious. She left Qiao Ran alone, so she must have some special purpose..."

"impossible?"

Mei was slightly stunned. Although she said she didn't believe it, her expression gradually became serious.

Under normal circumstances, Qiao Ran would not have come back for so long, unless... he really encountered some trouble.

"If that's really the case... then it's probably going to be difficult to resolve... This is their home turf, and the one who kidnapped Qiao Ran is a supernatural being..."

Mei's eyes became more and more serious. This situation... was simply overwhelmingly disadvantageous for them.

"Boom-"

Suddenly, while they were still discussing, they heard footsteps approaching from the doorway. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they glanced at each other. A plan gradually took shape in their minds...

——Then, this is what is happening now.

"Qiao...Qiao Ran! Quick, let him go!"

After seeing clearly that the person tied up was Qiao Ran, Mei and Lillie quickly let the monarch snake loosen its body. They originally wanted to ambush and catch the enemy off guard, but they didn't expect that the person who suddenly appeared was Qiao Ran himself.

“Cough…cough cough cough cough cough cough!”

After being put down, Qiao Ran collapsed directly to the ground. He was already very tired, and now being tied up by the python, he felt not feeling well at all.

"Qiao Ran!"

"Qiao Ran, you...what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Qiao Ran's appearance, Lillie and Mei were panicked and hurried over to check on his condition. However, after they got closer, they frowned at the same time.

Qiao Ran's physical condition didn't seem as terrible as they imagined, but—

"Wait, what does this smell like?"

"This... seems to be coming from the arm..."

Almost instantly, they all smelled the scent of perfume coming from Qiao Ran's left hand. The smell was very strong, with the aroma of roses. However, Qiao Ran was not a person who liked to use perfume, and this smell seemed very abrupt on him.

"What happened?"

"..."

A series of question marks popped up in Mei's head, while Lillie fell silent.

Mei may not know the meaning of Qiao Ran's left hand, but Lillie knows - the left hand is one of the most important parts of Qiao Ran's body. Considering the series of events that happened before, Lillie obviously already has an idea in her heart.

She is not a stupid person. On the contrary, as the child of two scientists from the Ether Foundation, she is very smart and has strong judgment.

"First...put him on the bed and let him rest."

"Yeah...that's right."

Mei and Lillie discussed it and decided to let Serpentis move Qiao Ran to the bed first. Qiao Ran blinked but did not object.

He was indeed a little tired.

"So, what exactly happened?"

After everything was cleaned up, Mei pointed at Qiao Ran's left hand and began to question him.

"And how did you get this smell?"

"Well... I don't know myself. Do you believe it?" Qiao Ran sighed, the expression on his face was like a child who had lost his memory for more than ten years.

"I followed the guy's instructions and went to a room. When I woke up, it was already three hours later, and I was in the same condition."

Anyway, Qiao Ran also promised Phoebe to keep it a secret, so he didn't tell the truth directly. Besides... he didn't have the courage to tell the truth in front of these two people.

If he had said it directly, he probably wouldn't have to go to the ruins tomorrow. It might be more appropriate to build a ruin for himself on the spot.

"Really? You don't know anything? Your body is already like this."

After listening to Qiao Ran's explanation, Mei and Lillie both showed confused expressions. It was obvious that they did not quite believe what Qiao Ran said. This feeling was as nonsensical as adding sugar to hot pot.

However, when they shook Qiao Ran's body and wanted to ask him again, they found that Qiao Ran had already closed his eyes and was lying on the bed snoring.

Fell into a deep sleep.

"This guy……"

Mei covered her head.

Lillie's expression was also full of helplessness.

"There's nothing we can do... Let's rest early today. Since he's back, it means everything is fine. We have more important things to do tomorrow."

"Too."

Mei nodded, her expression slightly calm. However, after glancing at Qiao Ran's sleeping face, her cheeks couldn't help but puff up again, and she felt a little angry in her heart.

They have been worrying here for so long, what on earth is this guy doing?

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

The second day was also the day when the expedition team prepared to set off.

The Alliance operators arrived here first during the day and took inventory and recorded the number of people and equipment. At the same time, they also brought some necessary supplies, such as diving gear.

As a senior member of the alliance, Phoebe also has considerable say in the alliance, so the actions she organizes still have a high degree of freedom and do not require every place to follow the rules.

"Those who can't swim, practice now. Also, those who don't have water-type Pokémon that can lead others diving, all of you, put on diving suits and practice. You don't need to develop any superb skills, just be able to use them when the time comes."

Phoebe had a sour face early in the morning and urged the team members to train everywhere. Especially when she passed by Qiao Ran, she kicked him hard in the butt.

"Don't be in a daze, go and train with me too, or you'll lose! It's embarrassing!"
