Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Let's take a rest..."

Phoebe untied her cumbersome and gorgeous dress and prepared to change into her pajamas and take another nap. Working at this time would not only make her less energetic, but her judgment would also plummet, which was not the result she wanted to see.

However - just as she undid her dress and folded it neatly on the chair, a faint light suddenly appeared from the other side of the room.

"what?"

Phoebe was stunned where she was, especially when she felt that "familiar" feeling, which made her feel a little surprised.

This is her room, her exclusive territory. Outside this room, there are countless ghost Pokémon guarding it. Anyone who wants to enter this room must get her permission. However - this scene still happened in front of her.

——That stone platform, the one where the long sword was previously inserted, actually emitted a mysterious power fluctuation. Then, in a faint light, a human-shaped object - or rather, a person - appeared directly in front of her.

"..."

Because everything happened so quickly and Phoebe was still in shock, she didn't even try to cover her body immediately, and everything was exposed.

"Ah...sorry."

The first person to make a sound was actually the guy who suddenly appeared.

——He was Qiao Ran who had just returned from Galar. He was also confused at this moment. According to his thoughts, he should appear in the ruins, but strangely, he appeared in a room.

And... in front of him, there was a loli wearing only black lace panties.

"Um, do you want me to go out for a while?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be frozen in place, Qiao Ran took a deep breath and took the initiative to move his gaze away from the barren land. This level was not even as good as Diancie in her young girl state, not to mention Suicune and the like. Qiao Ran found it hard to imagine how this guy had lived to this age.

"you you……"

Hearing Qiao Ran's voice, Phoebe's chest began to rise and fall.

Why did this guy appear here? Should I inform others when he suddenly came back? All of this was thrown behind her mind. At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind.

“You you you you you you you you you…”

"Get out of here!"

Chapter 238 234 [See You Again]

After a while of chicken and dog jumping.

"So, you're here just because of a positioning issue? Also, what's that behind you? Cosplay?"

Phoebe, after tidying up her clothes, crossed her legs and looked down at Qiao Ran, who had been laid on the ground with his hands tied.

Looking at that cold gaze, Qiao Ran couldn't help but shudder. His body had clearly been tempered and strengthened by Cang Xiang's power, so why did he still lose to this person? How could she be so strong?

Is this guy even human?

Qiao Ran couldn't help but curse the unreasonable old woman in his heart, but he really had to admit that he was in the wrong in this matter. Even if "because the other party's body was too unusual, so he didn't see anything substantial", he couldn't say this fact directly.

And even if he said it, it would only accelerate his own downfall.

He is not that stupid.

"...You can ask Rotom about the specific reason for my appearance here. As for this sword... it's the same one from before."

Qiao Ran, who was tied to the ground, never imagined that after just returning to this world, he did not receive the warm welcome he had imagined, but was directly tied up as a pervert. He was actually quite puzzled.

Where's my cave at the bottom of the lake? Such a huge cave at the bottom of the lake?

"Ahem, this really has nothing to do with the master, Loto. The master was originally teleported away because of the 'sword', so when he returns, he will be located based on the sword's previous position."

Rotom, floating on the other side, glanced at the huge pedestal placed on the side of the room. There was no doubt that this was the carrier of the "sword" in the past and the culprit that caused Qiao Ran to appear here.

Rotom did not mention Qiao Ran's ability to travel through the world, but explained it in a language that others could understand. Qiao Ran and Rotom were actually a little wary of Phoebe. This guy's background was far less "clean" than Lillie and the others, and he might have some special ideas of his own.

However, on the other side, Rotom had actually already had an in-depth conversation with Qiao Ran in his heart.

"Master, the reason why this time is different from the previous

, and was not teleported to a fixed spatial location - in fact, it was because of the sudden abnormality of traveling through Loto that was triggered, so the spatial location was not directly recorded at that time, but the nearest object was recorded... "

"Then... using this feature, can we do the same in the future?"

Rotom's explanation gave Qiao Ran a new idea. If spatial positioning relies on "objects", then he can just record the means of transportation at the starting point, and then stay in other worlds for a while before coming back. When he comes back, the car he recorded will have successfully reached the end point. Isn't this perfect time management without wasting any time?

However, upon hearing Qiao Ran's reply, Rotom immediately sternly refuted it, cutting short Qiao Ran's dangerous fantasy.

"That won't do, Loto! ...Traveling through time without recording is incredibly dangerous, Loto. If we fail to record it, we might end up in some strange place, or even in a world where time and space have ceased to exist. We might never come back, Loto!"

“…Is it that serious?”

Qiao Ran couldn't help but twitch his lips. He just wanted to try his luck, but after hearing what Rotom said about the dangers, he decisively gave up the idea.

——This is no longer just slacking off, this is a crazy and extremely powerful charge on the brink of death.

"..."

Rotom's information processing ability is first-class. While communicating with Qiao Ran in her mind, she can also chat with Phoebe in a coherent manner.

"Aba Aba."

——However, Qiao Ran didn’t quite understand it.

After a while.

Phoebe's door suddenly opened, and two faces that Qiao Ran was very familiar with finally appeared at the door.

"Qiao Ran?!"

“…Ah! It really is…”

The girl with brown and black twintails and the girl with long golden hair hurried to Qiao Ran in two steps. However, Qiao Ran was thrown to the ground with his hands tied, making it difficult for him to receive the guests.

"I asked them to come here, so please be grateful for my kindness."

Phoebe narrowed her eyes, stretched out her finger and lightly stroked it. At the same time, the dark shadow behind Qiao Ran flashed, and the ropes that had originally bound him fell to the ground.

Phoebe's move may seem simple, but this simple tacit understanding between her and Pokémon has surpassed most... No, I'm afraid there are not many people who can achieve this.

——Even Qiao Ran was slightly stunned.

The other party didn't have the same convenient ability as him, so how did she do it? - Not only did she make her Pokémon notice this tiny movement, but she also had to understand and react to it to this extent the moment she noticed it...

However, this surprise did not last long, and Qiao Ran's thoughts were interrupted.

"That's great! ...I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Snapped!"

A figure crashed into his arms, and the soft part of her body cushioned most of the impact - it was a girl with twin ponytails. Her expression was filled with immense excitement and joy, and the emotions in it could not be expressed in a few words.

The girl with long golden hair stood behind her, seeming to be hesitant to speak. She also had the same emotion, but she was more restrained by her character and did not do the same thing as the other party at this time.

"Very good……"

The girl with twin ponytails lay on Qiao Ran's chest and hugged his body tightly. The strength was even beyond a hug. In Qiao Ran's cognition, he did not think that any form of hug could be so strong. If the man opposite him was a muscular man, Qiao Ran would have thought that the other party was going to give him a German back throw in the next second.

However, at this moment - at least at this moment, Qiao Ran thought that this power was extremely suitable. The other party's behavior was like using force to knead their bodies together, and Qiao Ran could even clearly hear the other party's heartbeat.

——Even if they didn’t have a connection like Pokémon before, at this moment, Qiao Ran immediately understood the other person’s feelings.

"……I'm back."

Qiao Ran also hugged the other person tightly. During this period of time, she must have been worried and scared for a very long time.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————————

P.S.: A lot has been going on lately, so I've been shutting myself in to learn a lot about coding and brushing up on my knowledge, so I haven't made any changes to the novel yet. I'll definitely keep updating! Even with the Game of Thrones DLC coming out, I'm definitely working on finishing this book! I'm also working on my Knight!

Chapter 239 235 [I really...ah]

The joy of reunion lingered in this small room - no one made any sound at this moment, but that was enough.

"Humph."

Phoebe on the other side stared at Qiao Ran and the others for a while, then snorted and looked away.

"Alright, alright, now that we've met, don't stay in my room all the time."

Phoebe floated behind Qiao Ran, grabbed his collar, and wanted to

We need to pull Qiao Ran out.

"Eh? Okay, okay, don't pull me like that! I don't have any clothes to wear lately. What if you tear them?"

Qiao Ran couldn't resist Phoebe's "tyrannical" strength, and was finally dragged out of the room by her. The two girls, Lillie and Mei, looked at each other, smiled softly, followed Qiao Ran and Phoebe's footsteps, and walked out of the room.

Only when you have lost something do you know its importance. Perhaps, most of the time, this kind of ordinary, everyday warmth is the most precious.

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

Arriving at the hall of the villa, Qiao Ran found a place to sit down. The other girls looked at him curiously, and each of them seemed to have a lot to say in their hearts.

Why did Qiao Ran disappear for so long? What happened when he disappeared? Also, what is that thing behind him now? Is it a sword?

If it was a private meeting, Lillie and Mei would probably ask directly, but now there is Phoebe as an "outsider", so they are relatively restrained.

Moreover, for Lillie, after meeting Qiao Ran, what she wanted to do most, besides reminiscing about the past with Qiao Ran, was probably to go to the Ether Foundation in the Alola continent to see Miyue who was staying there all alone.

However, due to Phoebe's presence, these ideas could not be implemented for the time being. After all, Lillie couldn't just drag Qiao Ran away and make him disappear on the spot, right?

So, it’s better to wait for now.

Since they have waited for such a long time, there is no need to rush.

When it comes to more private times - such as at night, they still have a lot of room to play.

"Ahem, I know you all have a lot of questions, but just listen to me first."

Qiao Ran and Liliae looked at each other and almost understood what they meant, so they took the initiative to start "explaining".

According to Qiao Ran's story, he was inexplicably teleported to a strange place where there was a special ability of "Gigantamaxing". Then he solved a problem with the local natives, and finally he was inexplicably teleported back.

Lillie and Mei looked puzzled when they heard this. Of course they knew what place Qiao Ran was talking about, but after Qiao Ran forcibly blurred it, it sounded like a continent in another world.

"Um……"

Only Phoebe touched her chin, lost in thought with a serious expression. She was the only one who knew how valuable Qiao Ran's words were. As an authority on the Pokémon relics in this world, she had known about the existence of the "other world" for a long time. The history of Pokémon in this world was not long, as if they had appeared suddenly.

Moreover, according to her research, some people in history were likely related to that "other world".

But... this is the first time that a local has traveled to the other world where Pokémon exists and brought back information.

This is completely - absolutely an unprecedented discovery!

"As for this sword, it's probably bound to me as well."

Qiao Ran pulled out the long sword from behind him and held it in his left hand. Although it was a little different from the facts, what he said was actually not wrong - he was bound to Cang Xiang, Cang Xiang was bound to the sword, so his binding to the sword was just an extended relationship. Moreover, due to the adaptability of his body, now if he wanted to use this sword, he had better use his left hand - only the left hand could exert more powerful power.

"Um... is there anything I can chop?"

Qiao Ran raised his head and looked at where Phoebe was, but Phoebe supported her head and shook it.

"Why don't you just cut the ground?"

She was still immersed in the previous intelligence, and she never wanted to pay attention to Qiao Ran's "self-humiliating" behavior.

First of all, this was an ordinary man who was not as strong as her; secondly, the sword was so worn out that it didn't look like a sword at all; finally, she laid the ground with extremely hard "special bricks", a material that was even used in the ground design of Pokémon arenas. It was a special material that could withstand Pokémon's skills. How could anything go wrong?

According to her idea, it was good enough that this thing could scratch the floor. She could just have someone polish it again when the time came, and it wouldn't be too much trouble.

"Cut the ground..."

Qiao Ran looked at the floor tiles in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

To be honest, he himself was not quite clear about the power of this sword. Due to physical reasons, he had never tested how far he could go. However, his body remembered that feeling - he could call upon the power of this sword.

Qiao Ran looked around. Except for Phoebe who was still in deep thought, Lillie and Mei were looking at him with expectant expressions.

"Did I really cut it down?" Qiao Ran confirmed with Phoebe one last time.

"Go ahead and chop it down."

"I really, really chopped it off, didn't I?"

"Go ahead and chop it. Why are you talking so much? Can you be more straightforward?" Phoebe waved her hands impatiently, obviously annoyed by Qiao Ran.

Why is this guy so hesitant?

"Alright alright."

Being so

A bank run. Qiao Ran, who was originally afraid of unpredictable consequences, also began to become bolder.
