Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

I have to say that Mary is indeed a very beautiful girl. Although she rarely shows any expression on her face and doesn't know how to smile, but... it turns out that she can still smile.

"cough."

A voice suddenly came from the other side of the dining table, interrupting Qiao Ran's thoughts.

"It's called a holy sword, but its authenticity hasn't been verified yet. It could be a fake or a scam."

Yuri, standing by, couldn't help herself. This man not only interrupted her time alone with the girl she admired, Mary, but also... why?

The atmosphere is still so good!

If this continues, if this continues...the thing she fears most may happen!

In order to protect Mary, she would not hesitate to put herself in danger.

She had to act.

"After dinner, come and fight me! I will defeat you with my strength!"

"...!"

Yuli suddenly stood up, and what she said made everyone's attention focus on her.

However - after saying this, not only the gazes of others, but even Youli herself froze in place. She thought of Qiao Ran's two legendary Pokémon, and suddenly - she felt like she was walking into someone's gun.

Is she confident that she can defeat the legendary Pokémon?

No... no, she really doesn't have that confidence.

She had to find a way, at least to prevent this man from using those two Pokémon.

Under everyone's gaze, a green light bulb suddenly popped up in Youli's head.

"According to the rules of the Shout Team, in order to resolve the dispute between the two of us, we can only use evil-type Pokémon in a one-on-one battle. Whoever wins will be considered right."

Youli looked at Qiao Ran in front of her with a provocative look, and this time she was much more confident.

"How about it? Do you dare to challenge me? Humph... you definitely don't dare, right?"

Chapter 173 170 [Evil: Evil]

Youli's idea was very simple, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, she had seen Qiao Ran fight before. In that situation, most people would definitely send out their elite troops and not dare to be careless.

——In other words, Diancie and Suicune from before are very likely the strongest Pokémon of the man in front of him.

Moreover, even if she missed something, she didn't believe that after excluding these two legendary Pokémon, this man had other legendary Pokémon. Even if he did, they couldn't be of evil attribute.

Evil-attribute legendary Pokémon are extremely rare, and in some areas such Pokémon do not even exist at all.

"How about it? Do you dare to challenge me? Humph... you definitely don't dare, right?"

It was with the help of these thoughts that Yuli's self-confidence rose to an unprecedented level. As long as it was not a legendary Pokémon, what was there for her to fear?

She has challenged countless gyms along the way and is just one step away from challenging the league's super elite trainers. She is a well-deserved genius.

Every year, countless trainers receive their starting Pokémon and embark on their journeys with great pride. However, many of them are screened out during this journey. Furthermore, Galar's gym challenges are based on a "recommendation system," meaning only selected trainers are eligible to challenge a gym.

In this special area, every gym battle will be spectacularly Dynamaxed and broadcast on TV, with countless people cheering on the scene. The more powerful the trainer, the more famous star he will be in Galar.

Even though she has temporarily become a member of the Shouting Team, her strength has never declined.

She... is the brightest rising star trainer in Galar today!

As long as she can seal those two legendary Pokémon of this man, she won't be able to lose!

"You...want to fight me?"

Looking at Youli's eyes full of fighting spirit, Qiao Ran's right hand suddenly stopped.

"And... you can only use Dark-type Pokémon?"

Qiao Ran had a strange expression on his face. It was the first time he heard someone make such a strange request to him.

Thinking about it carefully, the Dark-attribute Pokémon he can use right now seems to be... only one?

Looking at the strange expression on Qiao Ran's face, Youli felt more and more that her choice was correct.

This man must be feeling guilty, right?

"Are you scared? As a trainer, you're afraid of fighting? Are you a coward?"

Youli once again used the legendary three-hit combo of taunts. As expected, after receiving these three hits, Qiao Ran's expression looked as if he had eaten a fly.

After traveling for this period of time, Qiao Ran almost forgot about his foul-mouthed self. However, the heroine in front of him seemed to be afraid that he would forget, and kept jumping in front of him.

"Heh... Sword Hero, that's it? That's it?"

"..."

A well-shaped character appeared on Qiao Ran’s forehead.

"Qiao Ran..." Mary stood up. Feeling that the atmosphere was getting bad, she subconsciously wanted to stop this dispute.

However——at this time Qiao Ran had already raised his head.

Although he had many things he wanted to ask Mary, he did not think that this matter conflicted with educating the Zaun heroine in front of him.

"Okay, you want to fight, don't you? Whoever wins is right, right?... Then you can listen to me, right?"

Looking at Qiao Ran's determined and serious eyes, which seemed to have a hint of teasing, Youli's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. However, she didn't show any panic, but nodded.

"of course."

"If I win, you'll have to listen to my advice!"

Yuli also risked her life. Originally, the battle between the Shouting Team

It was only used to resolve some minor internal frictions, but with the two people constantly increasing their efforts, it seemed to have a different meaning.

"..."

Mary looked at Qiao Ran, then at Youli, and finally, she put down her outstretched hand.

She wanted to mediate. One of the two people in front of her was her good friend, and the other was a legendary hero. She certainly hoped that they could maintain a good relationship, but... as a trainer, she also understood.

——When the two trainers looked into each other's eyes like this, no one could stop the fight between them.

"It's great to be young..."

"Yeah, it's great to be young."

Mary's parents were also talking about it as if they were used to it. As trainers themselves, they understood this feeling.

"Do you need me to borrow your Pokémon?"

Mary was afraid that Qiao Ran didn't have a suitable Pokémon to use in battle, so she asked specifically. Not everyone likes Pokémon with evil attributes, and most of them are very rebellious, so many trainers are unwilling to train Pokémon with evil attributes.

"No, I just happen to have one with the evil attribute... She's really eager to fight."

Qiao Ran declined Mary's kindness. As he said, he just happened to have a dark-type Pokémon that really wanted to go into battle. Ever since the last gym challenge, she had been talking to Qiao Ran about going into battle.

"Well... okay." Mary withdrew her gaze, and after hesitating for a moment, she gave Qiao Ran her blessings.

"Come on, it doesn't matter even if you lose, don't worry."

"Thank you." Qiao Ran laughed dumbly. This blessing...why does it sound weird?

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

At night, in the largest square in Spike Town.

The moonlight illuminated the surrounding low houses, casting a silvery glow on this place full of graffiti and signatures.

When the previous gym leader, Mari's brother, was still around, this place had always been the venue for gym battles. Of course, in addition to gym battles, it sometimes became a live concert venue, and it was bustling with activity every day.

However, there is a solemn atmosphere here tonight.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"You mean that...? Our special forces captain wants to settle the dispute with that man through combat?"

"Exactly. With the Special Forces Captain's strength, there's no way that man could win, right?"

"Hehehe...it's definitely impossible to win, but aren't you curious why our captain would engage in such a battle with a man?"

"Why……?"

“Of course hey…!&@…………!”

Before the night battle began, a large circle of Shouting Team members who had eaten their dinner but had nothing to do had already gathered around the venue. In a small place like Spike Town, everyone would go out together at the slightest sign of trouble.

Especially disputes between men and women, Pokémon battles, etc., can attract everyone's attention.

"Shh—it seems like the captain and the others are here."

"It is true, little Mary, it is little Mary!"

The appearance of Mari and Yuli caused cheers from everyone present. They shouted loudly like crazy fans at a star-chasing scene.

And Mary also waved and greeted them.

This black-haired girl really looks like a real princess in this place, as if everyone is attracted to her.

"Okay, let's fight!"

Yuri, who was beside Mary, took a step forward and stood at one end of the field.

Since Spike Town does not have Gigantamax energy, the size of the venue here is no different from other places, and it is not exaggerated to the size of a large football field.

Following the direction pointed by Mary, Qiao Ran also stood at the other end of the field. When he actually stood on the field, he could truly and clearly feel the attitude of everyone present towards him.

The members of the Shouting Team were booing him.

It was obvious that these guys didn't like Qiao Ran, who suddenly appeared and was so close to Xiao Mali.

Moreover, they did not think that Qiao Ran had the ability to defeat their special forces captain.

That's a woman who's even stronger than Marie in terms of Pokémon skills.

"Since I initiated this battle, I'll send out my own Pokémon first."

Yuri adjusted the green hat on her head and took out a Poké Ball from the pocket of her skirt.

"Come out! Stop the bear!"

As she shouted, a weasel-type Pokémon with black and white fur and standing upright appeared in front of everyone. This Pokémon had malicious eyes, large X-shaped scars on its arms, and a long tongue sticking out of its mouth. It looked like a scary and ruthless character.

Not only that, this is also an evolutionary form unique to the Galar region. The Galar's charging bear evolved in constant fighting due to the harsh living environment and fierce competition. The end point of the evolution is the upright walking blocking bear!

The straight bear stood up!

"It's actually the Blocking Bear... It's the same trump card as Gym Master Nie Zi!"

"It's really well-trained... I feel like I'm like Boss Nie Zi.

The strength of the one above should be about the same, right? ..."

Yuri's Pokémon once again caused whispers around. The entire Spike Town had a special liking for evil-attribute Pokémon, so when they saw this Galar-specific blocking bear, they couldn't help but express their opinions.

Corresponding to Youli, the expectations of the people around her for Qiao Ran are getting lower and lower. Even though this man is very powerful, but... can he really take out a powerful evil-attribute Pokémon and defeat their special attack captain?

impossible.

This kind of thing is simply impossible.

"Well, it's time for you to send out your Pokémon, right? Have you already decided to admit defeat?"

The atmosphere around her made Youli feel very good. She stretched out her hand and challenged Qiao Ran again.

"If you admit defeat now, I might be able to give you some advice."

"……Ah."

Qiao Ran took a deep breath and resisted the urge to have sex with her directly.

He was also determined to win the next battle. With such a good opportunity to gain experience coming right to his doorstep, he would of course take it.

"You look like you still want to fight? Well then, send out your Pokémon and let me see just how strong you are."

Yuri chuckled, and as she spoke, the surrounding cheering team also burst into laughter.

Qiao Ran's reaction of inhaling was completely interpreted by them as fear and cowardice.

"I would have sent it out even without you telling me."

Qiao Ran shook his head. His mood was not affected by the other party. Instead, he took out a black Poké Ball and summoned his Pokémon.

Suddenly... maybe it was just a moment, maybe it was a long time later.
