Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Looking at Youli who accepted the punishment after losing the fight, Qiao Ran had no idea of ​​doing anything to her for the time being. The reason why he participated in the competition was very simple. One was to teach her a lesson, and the other was to let Yveltal move around and gain some experience for upgrading.

Youli has become much more obedient now - there is no doubt that Qiao Ran's goal has been achieved.

"that's all?"

Youli blinked in disbelief. If she had won, she would have definitely made good use of this opportunity, or at least give the other party a lesson, but this man let her go so easily.

"Of course that's it, what else do you want?"

Qiao Ran rolled his eyes. In fact, You Li didn't make him hate her to that extent. She was just a little bit like Zuan.

If a hatred king like Phoebe stood in front of him like this, he would definitely use this opportunity to pin her to the ground and let her experience the feeling of being completely suppressed.

Qiao Ran is not a saint who can forget all grudges with a smile, but everything he does is what he believes is right.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Taking his eyes off the stunned Youli, Qiao Ran looked at Mali beside him. He now had something more important to ask the girl in front of him.

"Mary, I have something to ask you. Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Qiao Ran's eyes were somewhat serious. The battle tonight was just a small episode. The more important thing tonight was that he had to make a decision for his next actions.

"Is there...something?"

Mary's heart trembled slightly, and her eyes were a little evasive. The other party suddenly became so serious and stared at her so intently, which made her feel a little at a loss.

Could it be... is this about saying something... strange?

Although Mary's mind told her that this was impossible, somewhere in her heart, she might also be looking forward to such a development.

No matter how she appears on the outside, she is actually just a little girl in her teens. Although she plays the role of leader of Spike Town, she is still very fragile.

This is why she was so excited after finding Qiao Ran. She never said that she was tired, but in a corner of her heart, she missed the time when her brother was still alive and hoped that someone would stand up for her.

Qiao Ran's appearance was like a ray of black light in the darkness, giving her hope.

"Let's talk as we go."

Qiao Ran looked around at the cheering squad that was eyeing them covetously. Originally, these cheering squad members were just looking at Mary with shining eyes, but now their eyes were also shining when they saw him as a man. However, Qiao Ran knew that their target was not actually him, they were actually just coveting Yveltal.

"Ah."

Mary nodded and walked towards her home with Qiao Ran. Youli also picked up the green hat that fell on the ground, put it on her head, and followed behind.

Looking at the two people talking intimately in front of her, Youli sighed deeply. At the same time, she felt that the hat on her head became heavier.

Is it because it got stuck with some sand when it fell to the ground just now?

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

"Mary, there's something I want to ask you... Is there really no electricity here?"

On the way to Mary's house, Qiao Ran asked the first question he wanted to ask. The situation of Rotom was not optimistic, and finding usable electricity might be the only solution.

"Electricity?" Mary shook her head, confirming Qiao Ran's guess.

“We are here... for a period of time

"We lost power a lot before the disaster. Normally, our electricity comes from Quanguan City in central Galar... There, League President Ross built an energy collection facility capable of storing large amounts of energy. However, after the disaster, the connection seems to have been severed by the Dynamax Pokémon."

"What about other methods? I have a Rotom, and she's not doing well right now. She might need to be recharged to recover. Is there any other way to do that?"

Qiao Ran still didn't give up. Power outages were still within his acceptable range. What he wanted to know now was whether Mary had any other way to solve this problem.

"Charging... huh? Hmm... if it's just this level of power..."

Mary's long eyelashes fluttered as she fell into deep thought.

"Actually, I have an electric-type companion... The power supply shouldn't be a problem. All we have to do is find a machine in Spike Town that absorbs Pokémon's power. Generally, there should be one in the town... to prevent temporary power outages."

"Can this kind of machine be found now?" Qiao Ran asked anxiously.

"It might be a little difficult, because the population of Spike Town is dwindling, and the new energy source developed by President Ross is very stable, with almost no power outages. So, I've only seen this kind of machine a few times since I was a kid... It's probably piled up in a warehouse now, making it hard to find right away. However, if you need it, I can contact others tonight for help, and maybe we can find it tomorrow."

Mary thought seriously about the question raised by Qiao Ran, then turned around and looked at Youli who was following behind her, and asked her to do it.

"Ah... okay, I'll go. I'll go, okay?"

Yuli blinked her dead eyes and was once again treated as a tool.

Let Youli go to work, and Mary and Qiao Ran chatted as they walked, talking about some other things. Before they knew it, they had returned to Mary's home.

Mary's parents had not returned yet, so Mary skillfully lit the candles and sat in the living room with Qiao Ran.

"Thank you... I'll leave this matter to you. It's really important to me."

Qiao Ran didn't know how to express his gratitude to Mary, so he could only look at her as sincerely as possible.

In order to understand the true mission of the singularity, Rotom must wake up. Moreover, if he doesn't go to the frontier to take a look... Qiao Ran is really a little afraid that those unruly people will rebel against the will of heaven in the frontier.

"I'm the one who should say thank you."

Mary turned her eyes slightly aside, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes like ripples of water. In fact, she might have felt something in her heart a long time ago, but she had never told anyone else.

"After the disaster, everyone here was in a low mood... I couldn't sing to them like my brother did to cheer them up. Every day, all I think about... is how to hold on. It's really tiring... Ah, sorry... I don't mean to complain..."

Mary carefully glanced at Qiao Ran's expression, and only after finding that he was not unhappy did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't know why she suddenly talked about these things, but she didn't want Qiao Ran to hate her because of her emotions.

"It's okay. It's normal to feel tired." Qiao Ran smiled. He felt that he understood Mary's feelings. She was still young and not at the age where she should have to endure all this. It wasn't her fault, but the world was too cruel.

"Well... thanks to Master Qiao Ran coming here, I haven't seen everyone so excited in a long time. Yuli is the same... she wasn't like this before. She must also want to fight with a real trainer."

The corners of Mary's mouth curled up slightly, as if she thought of something warm. She also noticed the changes in the people around her.

Everything was moving in a good direction, all because of this man's arrival. If... he could stay here, everything would definitely be better.

"But... one day, Master Qiao Ran will definitely leave here... and become a true hero, right?..."

As she spoke, a hint of loneliness appeared on Mary's calm little face.

She understands.

She actually understood that as a hero, she must have the destiny of being a hero.

He couldn't stay here forever, even if...

Looking at Mary's expression, Qiao Ran was actually touched.

In the night and candlelight, the girl's delicate face was covered with a layer of lonely ash.

"I……"

Chapter 178 175 [Life: Death]

Mary is very beautiful and is the type of girl that Qiao Ran likes.

If Qiao Ran had not experienced so many things and had not shouldered so many responsibilities, he might really have made some peculiar choices in a fit of rage.

But for Qiao Ran now, it is no longer possible for him to choose this path.

"Feel sorry……"

Qiao Ran looked away.

"I have made up my mind. If nothing unexpected happens, I will leave tomorrow."

Outside the singularity, there are many, many people waiting

He, he would be so anxious not only for himself, but also for those who are waiting for him.

Even though Mary is really pitiful, fragile, and needs someone to support her, Qiao Ran still believes that she can hold on. Even if he is not here, Youli can help her.

As the protagonists of the Pokémon world, Qiao Ran actually likes each of them very much. Qiao Ran also admires their personalities. Even in desperate situations, they can show human courage.

Yuli will definitely not let him down.

"Tomorrow...?"

Mary responded, and then the room fell into complete silence. She looked at the moon outside the window and released her Morbek - an electric mouse Pokémon that looked a bit like Pikachu, but half of its body was covered with black patterns.

This is her first companion and her favorite Pokémon.

"Mooo..."

"Be good, don't talk."

Mary held Morubeko in her arms, her eyes still looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"..."

Qiao Ran stayed in the living room for a while and decided to go outside to get some fresh air. It was really hard to endure the night without electricity, so he might as well go outside and communicate with his Pokémon.

When Qiao Ran went out, he happened to run into You Li who had just returned. She had already gone to the warehouse in Jianding Town and explained the task of searching for the machine to the warehouse manager. She was now on her way back.

She looked at Qiao Ran's face strangely and confusedly.

"What's wrong? Your expression is so strange?"

"Nothing, just going out for a walk."

Qiao Ran patted Youli's shoulder, but for some reason, he felt a little unsatisfied, so he raised his hand and pinched her cheek.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

Youli quickly slapped Qiao Ran's hand away and was startled.

“Well maintained.”

Like other girls, Yuri has soft skin. Even though she is a trainer who travels around the continent, she is actually a beautiful girl.

Qiao Ran smiled lightly and walked out of the house.

Looking at Qiao Ran's leaving back, Youli's expression became more and more strange. Could it be that this guy took the wrong medicine?

Is there something on my face?

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

Passing through the empty streets of Spike Town, Qiao Ran felt his way to the outside of Spike Town - the forest where he was when he first came to this world.

Due to the sparse population, the natural scenery around Jianding Town is still very good. Judging from Qiao Ran's travels around the world, he probably can't find anything wrong with it.

"Okay, all of you come out."

Qiao Ran looked around and checked that there were no strange people following him. Then he took out his Poké Ball and released all his Pokémon.

Whether it was Diancie, Vulpix, or Mimikyu who joined at the end, Qiao Ran called them out directly.

Even the attributes of Kong and Xuwu Yide, which made him worry, were on the list.

"Master, this is...?"

Diancie looked around and was a little surprised to find that Qiao Ran had called them all out at once.

"Nothing, it's just that Rotom hasn't recovered yet, and I can't go to the frontier yet, so I had to call you out."

Qiao Ran sat on the grass, feeling helpless.

If Rotom hadn't been unconscious and had been able to go to the frontier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

"This time I'm mainly checking on you guys. Also, Attribute Kong and Xu Wu Yide... you haven't done anything strange, right?"

“!&…@&!”

"Ouch."

Under normal circumstances, Xingxukong and Xuwuyide would shrug slightly when they heard Qiao Ran speaking in this tone, but they had already heard about Qiao Ran's left hand, so they were much bolder now.

Xingxing Kong lay down beside him, yawning, and didn't want to pay any attention to Qiao Ran at all. As for Xuwu Yide, he floated to Qiao Ran's side and wrapped his head with his soft tentacles.

"..." Qiao Ran's eyebrows twitched. These two guys were just as he thought. They had completely returned to their original state.

"...Don't...don't do this! The master is very weak now..."

Liuwei, who had already turned into a human form, was startled and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull the jellyfish off Qiao Ran's head, but Xuwuyide's body was too flexible. She tried to pull for a long time, but she couldn't pull Xuwuyide down for a while.

Finally, Suicune couldn't bear it anymore and took action. A column of water fell from the sky and sprayed Qiao Ran all over, which drove Xuwuid away. This jellyfish was still very afraid of water.

After doing all this, Shui Jun realized belatedly that Qiao Ran's body was also wet. She hurried forward, touched Qiao Ran's chest with her hand, and began to separate the water from Qiao Ran's body.

"Ah... Sorry! Master, I'll help you dry it right away..."
