Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Qiao Ran began to command Diancie to counterattack, and the battle in the arena started again.

The battle was still going on, however, Long Xiangdong, the referee, had already seen the result of the game. The Pokémon called Diancie had basically completely suppressed Jigglypuff.

The subsequent developments in the battle essentially confirmed his thoughts. Although Long Jiangxue never gave up, constantly using various skills to inflict damage on Diancie, none of these skills successfully knocked her down. Meanwhile, after Diamond Storm and Moon Force hit Jigglypuff, Jigglypuff could no longer hold on.

Finally, after being hit by another Diamond Storm, Jigglypuff fell to the ground like a deflated balloon, his eyes rolled back, and he completely lost the ability to continue fighting.

It wasn't that it didn't try hard enough, nor was its fighting style rigid. Rather, in this tug-of-war, its physique and all-around qualities were crushed by Diancie.

One side has Xiaomi and rifles, while the other side has Gundam. How should this competition be won?

"Jiggy Ding!"

Seeing Jigglypuff fall down, Long Jiangxue hurried forward and checked Jigglypuff's condition.

"Jiggle has lost his ability to fight! So the winner of this match is—Challenger Qiao Ran!"

Referee Long Xiangdong also announced the result of the game.

The first game was a victory of tactics, and the second game was a victory of Pokémon. Especially in the second game, it can be seen that Qiao Ran's training ability has far exceeded that of ordinary novice trainers, and he is indeed qualified to get this badge.

Seeing such a young man, Long Xiangdong was looking forward to him growing up earlier and having a truly exciting battle with a giant beast with him.

"Congratulations, you've won this gym challenge! I hope you'll remember the feeling of fighting today. As a Longjiang native, I'll support you on your upcoming journey."

"Win...!"

Upon hearing the news of victory, Qiao Ran excitedly squatted down and hugged Diancie. This was his first time winning a gym competition. Although the process was a little different from what he had imagined, the joy of victory would not be diluted at all.

"Did you hear that? We won, Diancie!"

"Didi."

Diancie was also smiling happily and hugging Qiao Ran tightly. In her mind, being needed by her master and being able to succeed with her master was the greatest happiness. This was definitely her happiest moment.

However, neither of them seemed to notice that when the two of them hugged each other, Diancie's body seemed to quietly undergo a

Some minor changes.

——The hem of her skirt seemed to have lengthened slightly, and even the pink diamonds became more dazzling.

Shining brightly.

Chapter 16 016 [I see you have a unique bone structure...]

No one noticed the changes in Diancie, but it was like sowing a seed on a calm lake, which would eventually bloom into a beautiful flower.

After announcing the results of the competition, Long Xiangdong personally handed the badge to Qiao Ran. The shape of the Longjiang City badge resembles a giant dragon with its wings spread, which echoes the shape of the arena. At first glance, you can tell that it is the feeling of the Longjiang City giant beast battle.

"The Longjiang City emblem represents the dragon's strength and tenacity, as well as its momentum and boldness. This girl still lacks a lot in this regard, but I believe she will understand it before she officially begins her journey next year."

Long Xiangdong looked at the boy in front of him and felt that Longjiang City might be about to produce another legendary figure.

Although his daughter also attends Longjiang No. 3 Middle School, unlike Qiao Ran who is already able to travel, she is only in the third year of junior high school and still needs one year of study.

"Thank you. I will keep this badge well."

Qiao Ran thanked the gym leader and accepted the badge. This not only meant that he was one step closer to the Huaxia Alliance, but also meant that the alliance subsidies he could receive had increased significantly. Once the subsidies increased, he would be one step closer to his promise to buy clothes for Vulpix and Diancie.

——That’s right, now whenever Qiao Ran thinks of money, he immediately thinks of buying clothes. I don’t know what stimulated and brainwashed him.

Of course, he might have more Pokémon partners in the future, and different Pokémon will have different requirements. By then, it’s unclear whether this subsidy can still support such a large group of Pokémon...

"Humph……"

Long Jiangxue, standing by, had a stern expression throughout. Being defeated was not a pleasant experience, especially when defeated by a peer whom he had always looked down upon. Even after losing the battle, he was criticized by his own father.

"Don't think you're amazing just because you started traveling a year ahead of me. You're just a little... a little bit more amazing."

This girl is still being stubborn, but it seems that she has accepted the fact that she is weaker than Qiao Ran, which is already a big progress.

Seeing her awkward look, Qiao Ran couldn't help but want to tease her.

"How about I let you touch Diancie?"

"Really?!" Hearing Qiao Ran's words, Long Jiangxue couldn't help but scream out loud, and her eyes instantly spread with sparkling little stars. However, she soon realized that her attitude was a bit rude, and she quickly coughed a few times, turning back into her normal cold-faced young lady with long black hair.

"Hey...don't...don't think that this will change my mind about you. I'm sure I'll find my own Diancie during this year at school!"

Long Jiangxue's desire for Diancie has reached an unprecedented level. After today's battle, she has fully realized Diancie's beauty. Even her powerful skills are like blooming diamond flowers. Where can you find such a magical Pokémon?

"As long as you like it."

Facing the high-spirited Long Jiangxue, Qiao Ran could only roll his eyes.

——He is now increasingly unable to tell the truth. He can only wish that Long Jiangxue can find an ultimate cave in the grass behind the school. When he travels through time, he may really be able to find a wild Diancie.

As for other possibilities... forget it, there are only wild Rayquazas in the grass, there is no way there would be Diancie.

————————————————————————

After staying in the Longjiang City Gym for a while, Qiao Ran also asked Diancie to give Long Jiangxue some benefits. The young lady seemed unwilling to let go of Diancie's hand, and pink bubbles seemed to be constantly coming out of her.

After a long time, Qiao Ran finally reached out and forcibly pulled Dianxi, who had a strange look on her face, away from her. Otherwise, Long Jiangxue would probably never let go until her death.

"Wait, give me a number."

Before leaving, Long Jiangxue asked Qiao Ran for a contact number, saying that she wanted to discuss how to capture Diancie. Qiao Ran couldn't resist her and had to leave a number.

However, when Qiao Ran walked out of the gym, Long Xiangdong ran out again and called out to Qiao Ran who was walking out.

"and many more!"

Qiao Ran looked back with some confusion. The personalities of the father and daughter were indeed very similar. They were both the type that moved as fast as the wind and decisively. Especially Long Xiangdong, who was more than two meters tall. When he ran, he looked like a fully armed chariot.

"Challenger... No, Qiao Ran, have you arranged your next trip? Which city are you planning to go to?"

Long Xiangdong stopped and asked a question as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Which city should we go to?" Qiao Ran shook his head. "I'm going to rest for a night before considering it. Longjiang City is located right in the middle of China, so either the south or the north is a good choice."

"Then I suggest you go to Hangzhou in the south. Perhaps you can discover something new there."

Long Xiangdong looked down at Qiao Ran with a smile on his face.

"Something new?" Qiao Ran was a little confused and didn't know what the other party was talking about.

"Yes, I have seen you

To command Vulpix's battle, you'll actually use a special skill that can transmit information to Pokémon."

"This……"

Qiao Ran's expression froze for a moment. Could it be that the fact that Vulpix and I have a very high affinity has been exposed? ? ?

However, Long Xiangdong's next words dispelled Qiao Ran's concerns.

"It's okay. I know this power called Wave Power is very special. It can not only transmit information to Pokémon, but also detect the opponent's position, so I will keep it a secret for you for now. But if you want to improve, you should also go to Hangzhou. The gym leader there seems to have some research in this area."

"Wave... waveguide power?"

Qiao Ran was full of questions. When did I develop this inexplicable power?

Long Xiangdong ignored Qiao Ran who was still blinking in amazement, and directly stuffed a letter into Qiao Ran's hand and patted Qiao Ran's shoulder hard.

"This is the letter of recommendation I just wrote. When the time comes, just give it to the director of the museum. He'll know how to handle it."

"Come on, no matter what difficulties you face, don't be afraid. Persistence is victory. Our Longjiang men are definitely the best!"

After saying a long series of incomprehensible but extremely inspiring words, Long Xiangdong left here directly. Her speed was even faster than that of her daughter Long Jiangxue.

Only Qiao Ran, holding the letter, was left standing disheveled in the wind at the door of the gym.

Could this... be a letter of recommendation for me to study Wave Power? And it's for the gym leader in Hangzhou?

But...I really don't know how to do this kind of fancy stuff!!!

ps: Updated late at night, and asking for votes.

Chapter 17017 [The Legend of the Pokémon Nurse]

Qiao Ran really wanted to open his Rotom phone right now and post something online—

Urgent! I want to learn the power of waveguide, what should I do? Waiting online, it's urgent!

However, Qiao Ran finally gave up this unrealistic idea. After all, even the owner of the museum, Long Xiangdong, had said that the power of wave guidance was a special power. It would probably be useless to ask netizens online.

"Forget it, just take it first."

Long Xiangdong's letter of recommendation has been delivered to him, and he can't send it back. With this thing, maybe it can come in handy in the future.

Qiao Ran has already tasted the sweetness of being able to challenge without making an appointment. This kind of private battle not only allows him to get more guidance, but also allows him to retain some of his privacy. Qiao Ran still likes it very much.

After challenging the Longjiang Gym, Qiao Ran went to the Pokémon Center in Longjiang City. In addition to resting here for a night, he also had to update his alliance information here. The subsidy amount that a badge can increase is quite a lot, and Qiao Ran really needs money.

"Okay, I've registered the latest data for you."

After registering the information, the nurse at the Pokémon Center handed back Qiao Ran's magnetic card. For some reason, the nurse at the Pokémon Center also had long pink hair, just like Miss Joy in the Pokémon world. However, their appearance was completely different from Miss Joy.

Although equally beautiful, it lacks the same unity as Joey's.

"What's wrong? Is there something in my hair?"

The nurse also noticed that Qiao Ran was looking at her hair, so she smiled slightly and began to explain.

"Do you think pink hair is novel? This is actually a rule of our Pokémon Center. If you want to work at the Pokémon Center, you have to dye your hair a special pink. It's said that this is to commemorate the first Pokémon nurse in history."

"The first Pokémon nurse...could it be..."

Qiao Ran was stunned. The moment he heard this, some unrealistic ideas seemed to come to his mind. However, he finally shook his head quickly.

"What's the nurse's name, please?"

"I don't know." The nurse shook her head. Although she said she didn't know, her expression showed a hint of admiration and helplessness.

"It's said that she didn't leave her own name behind, nor did she have any offspring. After her death, she was buried under the evergreen tree in front of the World Alliance. On that day, all the league presidents, champions, and superstars from around the world came... It's said that even the bosses of some evil organizations came."

"She left nothing behind, and took nothing with her. All that was left was the legend of her pink hair. Even now, nurses at the Pokémon Center have to dye their hair this color. Her wish to care for Pokémon and keep them healthy will be passed down through us."

“Is that so…ah…”

It was the first time that Qiao Ran heard someone talk about this history, and he couldn't help but feel a special feeling in his heart.

However, he still felt that this nameless pink-haired nurse had an inexplicable connection with the Miss Joy he imagined. However, there was no way to prove it now.

If that really was Miss Joy...

"..."

Qiao Ran's expression gradually became serious. Although he was very happy to come to a world full of Pokémon,

Excited, but the world didn't seem as simple as he imagined.

What else is hidden in this world?

It seems... I need to pay more attention to some of the legends of this world in the future.

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

After settling down at the Pokémon Center, Qiao Ran lay down and rested for a while, then went out with Vulpix and Diancie.

"Master is so partial to Loto. Why can they walk outside? I want to be outside too, Loto!"

"Who gave you a special status? You are a valuable Pokémon."

Qiao Ran shrugged, ignoring Rotom's protests, and stuffed her into his pocket. Until he was strong enough, Rotom would have to stay like this.

As for his purpose of going out this time, it was actually very simple. He wanted to use the subsidy he received to buy Vulpix a nice skirt during the break after challenging the gym. Tomorrow, their journey would begin again.

Rest time is rare and must be used.

"Didi."

Diancie looked at Vulpix with envy after it turned into a human form and was held by Qiao Ran's hand. She has not yet acquired the ability to transform into a human form, but she believes that it won't take long.

In order to let Liuwei adapt to the outside world in this state, Qiao Ran could only hold her hand first. Although she was very relaxed in front of Qiao Ran, she still looked a little shy when she arrived in the outside world.

"..."

The petite girl with long blue and white hair looked at the surrounding scene timidly, holding Qiao Ran's hand tightly. Her perspective suddenly rose so much that perhaps for her, the whole world had become completely different.

And the most important thing is that it is easier to choose clothes after turning into a human form. Qiao Ran previously bought a simple white dress and a set of underwear for Liuwei online, but after putting them on, they were actually a bit too big - especially the chest area, which was particularly obviously sunken.

A women's clothing store in Longjiang City.

The female clerk had a business smile on her face as she looked at the man, woman, and Pokémon in front of her.
