Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Moreover, because Qiao Ran was on guard, he found that Luoz often mentioned the "underground experiment" in his words, which was the experiment proposed by Qiao Ran before, to inject the Dynamite power into the sword... Is this guy trying to hint at something?

"There's nothing we can do now... Even if we encounter something like this, we have to find a way to move forward. We have an emergency base in Quanguan City, which was set up to deal with the worst-case scenario."

Despite his sad expression and depressed mood, Roz quickly cheered up. He patted Qiao Ran on the shoulder and motioned him to catch up.

"Let's hurry over now!"

"Ah."

Qiao Ran's eyes flickered, and he decided to follow the other party for a while before making any decision.

Perhaps, Roz's situation is the same as before, a guy who doesn't know that he has traveled to another world?

Several people began a long journey, walking on the broken streets. Even though Qiao Ran had the hint from Liuwei and had already planned to regard this place as another world, however... looking at this slightly familiar street scene, he still felt sad.

However, just as they were about to rush to the so-called "emergency base", a device on Roz's body suddenly rang.

"Ah, it's the satellite phone we set up urgently."

Roz pointed to the sky and briefly explained to Qiao Ran why his phone could be used. Then he picked up the communicator and started a low conversation.

Qiao Ran didn't hear the other person's voice clearly, but he heard a lot of noisy and sharp noises. This special sound made him feel inexplicably familiar.

However, just after Roz ended the call and continued walking for a distance, something strange happened.

"Dear hero."

The president and secretary who were leading the way suddenly stopped and surrounded Qiao Ran from two directions.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Roz's face, which was full of the charm of a middle-aged man.

"Have you come up with some special ideas?"

Chapter 221 218 [Ultimate: Ultimate]

"What does it mean?"

Qiao Ran put his hand on the Poké Ball on his waist. Lost had not treated him like this before, but since he received that phone call, things seemed to have quietly begun to change.

Qiao Ran's alert level instantly rose to the highest point. He was ready to fight at any time. In this "strange world", only he could protect himself.

And... just after Roz answered the phone, Qiao Ran had deduced an important clue. This guy was different from what he had imagined before, and was also involved in another world - this guy was actually from this world!

Otherwise, why could he use the satellites in this world and communicate?

Even if the two worlds have similarities, it would be too much of a coincidence if such a place could be used universally.

"What do we mean? It's actually very simple. We just hope that you, the brave one, can have a good rest."

Hearing Qiao Ran's answer, Roz, who was standing in front of Qiao Ran, laughed instead.

"Yes, give us the sword and the legendary Pokémon you have, and the rest will be easier."

Like a gangster whose true intentions were revealed, Roz spoke words like a villain. Looking at him like this, even Qiao Ran felt a little unrealistic. Even though Qiao Ran had always been wary of Roz, he didn't think that the "president" who looked steady and had his own principles would do such a thing.

Even in the game, after causing the most serious crisis in Galar, President Ross was willing to take all the responsibility. He was even able to give up all his wealth and honor and choose to accept the punishment of the law.

Qiao Ran believes that ordinary people cannot achieve this level of awareness.

Who on earth is this guy...

"You want my sword and Pokémon? Do you think this is possible?"

Even though he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, Qiao Ran still showed a mocking expression on his face. Asking him to hand over his Pokémon had definitely touched his bottom line - it was absolutely impossible.

"What a shame. I thought we could work together."

Hearing Qiao Ran's words, Roz shook his head, his words truly filled with regret.

"We all want to work with you, but we can't do anything about it. Someone has already noticed your sincerity. Sorry, leave the task of saving the world to us."

"You? Save the world?" Qiao Ran really laughed out loud on the spot, as if he had heard something funny.

These two people who stopped him and wanted him to hand over his weapons and Pokémon were actually talking about justice and saving the world?

Is this some kind of funny farce?

"You..." Hearing Qiao Ran's laughter, Lost, who had been at ease, actually showed an angry expression. He clenched his fists, like an enraged lion, with flames in his eyes.

Qiao Ran's words undoubtedly touched his pain point.

"I have done so much for my Galar, I ...

"I'm willing to do it! What do you know?!"

Roz roared and looked at Secretary Olivia who was standing behind Qiao Ran. They both nodded at the same time. In an instant, their appearance began to change. Their originally healthy skin turned sickly pale, and their hair turned a strange purple, as if they had merged with the boundless darkness of this world.

"you……!"

Qiao Ran's pupils shrank slightly. The sudden change caught him off guard. However, looking at the skin color and appearance of the two people in front of him, Qiao Ran suddenly thought of something.

"The Ultimate... World...!"

That’s right, in the Pokémon game, there have actually been humans with very strange skin colors and appearances.

However, these people weren't native to the original world, but rather hailed from a different world beyond the Pokémon world—a place called the "Ultimate World." Crucially, the Ultimate World and the Pokémon world were inextricably linked, with many areas even sharing a "mirror image" relationship. The president and secretary before them were likely similar figures in this world.

No wonder... No wonder the whereabouts of these two guys in Quanguan City surprised the gym leaders and doctors in the alliance.

Moreover, Xuwu Yide also comes from this world.

Is this... the hometown of Xuwuyide?

"I don't know how many years ago, that monster took away our light and everything we had."

Loz... no, or rather Loz from the ultimate world stood in front of Qiao Ran, his whole body trembling, and in the sky above his head, the blood moon was still silently mocking everything here.

"When the world is in danger, heroes will come to save it. This is basic truth, right? However, the heroes of our world have fallen one after another, falling before the ultimate power. So we have no other choice... We need more power... Since you are not willing to cooperate, then we have only one choice."

Roz took one last look at Qiao Ran, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, while secretary Olivia on the other side did not hesitate at all and took out a strangely shaped Poké Ball from her arms.

“Eeeeeee!!”

As the faint light came on, a purple dragon-shaped Pokémon with wings on its back and a huge needle on its tail appeared in front of Qiao Ran. The moment this "Pokémon" appeared, a special aura began to spread outward, as if putting its feet deep into the cold sea water. Both Vulpix and Qiao Ran shuddered.

"The ultimate...exotic beast..."

Qiao Ran and Vulpix undoubtedly knew this feeling. Back in Alola, they had also faced these chilling "strange beasts". Unlike ordinary Pokémon, most of them had extremely abnormal appearances, and some were even born with an extremely uncomfortable aura.

"Sorry."

Seeing that Secretary Olivia had already taken action, President Ross also released his own "Pokémon".

In an instant, a huge monster, even as tall as three or four stories, appeared in front of everyone. When the heavy steel body hit the ground, the ground shook.

“…This thing is!”

Looking at the extremely strange object, Qiao Ran couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

The ultimate exotic beasts - they are always called exotic beasts because they are weird enough. The ones like Xuwuide look relatively harmonious and even a little cute. In fact, they can probably be regarded as the weird ones among the exotic beasts.

If possible, he didn't even want to call this thing a "creature", because judging from the appearance alone, it was a weird shape made up of various steel pipes and jet pipes. Even if Qiao Ran was asked to describe the appearance of this thing, he couldn't even do it because it was too... weird.

"Give up, brave man, there's no way you can defeat us!"

After releasing the two Ultra Beasts, Ross once again issued a call for surrender. His expression was incredibly confident, as if victory was already certain.

"Hand over the sword and the legendary Pokémon, and we'll send you back! That's the maximum concession we can make!"

Chapter 222 219 [Strange Beast: Fantasy Beast]

There is only a blood moon in the dark night sky.

In this world where light and everything have been taken away, the atmosphere on the scene has reached a point where it is on the verge of breaking out.

However, compared to his initial panic, Qiao Ran is now becoming more and more at ease.

He even felt a little relieved.

——There is no better news than hearing that the people you care about are safe and sound, and everything you care about is still there.

Moreover, the moment everything was revealed, Qiao Ran already understood most of the truth, such as the identities and purposes of the two people in front of him, and the reasons why they had done those things before.

They are not from the Pokémon world, nor are they the real President Ross and Secretary Olivia, but beings similar to those two who exist in another world.

It is precisely because they are similar enough that they can disguise themselves so well.

Impeccable.

——Back in Quanguan City, they had already disguised themselves as "Loz" and "Olivia," deceiving everyone. But they weren't native to that world, but rather from this one.

It was precisely because of this that there was a gap in information with Caidou and Sonya. They had not expected the president to appear in Quanguan City. Moreover, the reason why these two pretenders went to Quanguan City is also intriguing. Could it be that they wanted to find "power" to save their own world?

No wonder... I went to great lengths to deceive him before, making him mistakenly believe that this was the original world. I wanted him to be a useful tool.

Everyone is selfish and everyone wants to save his or her own world, but unfortunately, not everything will go smoothly as usual.

Qiao Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the huge black shadows in the distance. Ever since the two people in front of him revealed their identities, the black shadows in the distance stopped moving and gradually dissipated into the air - they no longer wanted to pretend.

The crisis this world encountered was different from the one faced by Galar's Dynamax, so there was no need to continue pretending to be Galar—and, if this was really Xuwuid's hometown... then this place was indeed a million times more dangerous than Galar's.

If these two could have a good discussion with him, then he might be willing to help them, but - since they chose to snatch his partner, there was no room for negotiation on this matter from the beginning.

"This time, our opponents are... Tetrajaw Needle Dragon and Kaguya? One is a Poison-type and Dragon-type, and the other is a Steel-type and Flying-type..."

The two ultimate beasts that appeared in front of Qiao Ran both had completely different dual attributes - the dragon-shaped beast with a long needle on its tail was the owner of both the poison attribute and the dragon attribute, named "Four-Jaw Needle Dragon", and was called "UB: Thorn" in the Ether Foundation.

The other one, though resembling a steel tower with countless jets, possessed the same attributes as Steelix, a Steelix. Furthermore, it had the rather impressive name of "Iron Fire Kaguya." As for the Aether Foundation, it wasn't treated quite so well, being simply referred to by its researchers as "UB: Jet."

"The Ultra Beasts are very powerful. Fighting alone is definitely not an option... and this is their home turf, so we must fight quickly."

"...Not only that, but we also need to capture these two alive and extract information. They just said they could send me back, so there must be a way to get me back, right?"

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qiao Ran already had a rough battle plan in mind. He had to resist instead of just sitting there and waiting to die.

"Come out! My Pokémon!"

Qiao Ran first released his three most important combat forces, Diancie, Suicune, and Yveltal. After a flash of light, the three legendary Pokémon appeared in front of everyone.

The dazzling Diamond Princess, the serene North Wind, and... the tyrannical Death Incarnate.

"A legendary Pokémon from another world... How wonderful... Such a beautiful light..."

Looking at the three Pokémon that Joe released, Ross's eyes widened. Their world was shrouded in darkness from beginning to end, so they had a natural yearning for things that could produce light, especially Diancie, which was simply a dreamy, god-like Pokémon.

"..."

However, facing the other party's fiery gaze, Diancie couldn't help but shrink her body. Why do these guys always look at her like this?

"You three should be careful and protect yourselves first."

Qiao Ran explained the current situation and battle strategy to his Pokémon. Since they had consumed a lot of energy outside Quanguan City, Diancie and the others were not in very good condition. Although the Pokémon Path could restore their energy, it was only a drop in the bucket.

——During the day, they followed the convoy to break through the blockade of the Dynamax Pokémon, and at night they followed Qiao Ran to the other world to fight the Ultra Beasts. Even if they were Legendary Pokémon, they would not be able to withstand it sooner or later.

Qiao Ran knew this very well, so he would need to send out more combat forces next. Because of their levels, Tanabata Bluebird and Mimikyu might not be able to participate in this kind of battle and could only scout from the sidelines.

and so--

"Come out! Xuwu Yide!"

Qiao Ran threw out a Poké Ball and released the Beast Queen that was captured at the Aether Foundation. This guy was not very obedient when he was first captured, but since he was transformed into a human form, this situation has improved a lot. Now under the guidance of Suicune, he can also speak some human language.

Qiao Ran felt that there was no big problem in letting her join the battle.

"Wait! How can you be so...!"

There was no big reaction from Qiao Ran yet, but Roz widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the "white jellyfish" that Qiao Ran suddenly released.

The Ultimate Beast...it's actually an Ultimate Beast? !

How could this brave warrior from another world possess the ultimate beast from their world?

"If you encounter it, you capture it."

Qiao Ran would never say that he had a nest of jellyfish like this in the open field. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

, and threw out another Poké Ball with a dark blue mesh pattern on its surface.

Xuwuidu is a powerful fighting force, but in fact, Qiao Ran is most optimistic about the next Pokémon -

With a dazzling light, a four-legged beast-type Pokémon with a helmet on its head and various biological features on its body suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

“Roar…roar, roar, roar!”

"...!"

The moment this Pokémon appeared, the atmosphere in the field seemed to change suddenly.
