Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

In that case, this is...

"Roar!!!!"

In the dazzling white light, the heavy helmet worn by Xingxiangkong began to loosen, and then shook and fell off, revealing its original true appearance.

Sharp eyes, an eagle-like hooked beak, coupled with those white feathers, the attributes at this moment are empty... No, the Silver Companion War Beast is like a griffin in the legend, combining the characteristics of various creatures, but looking extremely majestic.

At this moment, she is the real little Arceus, an artificial legendary Pokémon with a base value of 95 in all attributes, and the beast killer - Silver Companion.

"So... is this what it is like?"

Lillie, who was watching the battle, murmured to herself. She had also consulted the information of the Aether Foundation and had a detailed understanding of the process of creating the attribute void. From the scientific research records, she knew that those heavy helmets were actually added to suppress the powerful strength and violent temperament of these artificial Pokémon.

What unlocks these restrictions is the bond between Pokémon and humans. Once all of this is lifted, SilverBeast becomes a truly complete form.

As for Jiang Yuanhao on the other side, he seemed to have misunderstood something.

"...??? So this Pokémon hasn't fully evolved yet? It can fight me without fully evolving???"

Something is not right, it seems like something is not right.

Am I, the owner of the museum, so shameless?

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

In the final gym battle, Qiao Ran sent out Suicune, while Jiang Yuanhao sent out Swampert, who he had always kept with him since they first met.

Like Marillil before, this Swampert is also extremely strong and powerful. The training method of this Water-type gym leader is comparable to that of the Fighting-type gym.

However, Suicune is a legendary Pokémon, and its use of water energy is far superior to most Pokémon. Although its level is not very high, it still defeated the gym leader's Swampert after a hard fight.

"Oh, I didn't expect to lose after all."

Jiang Yuanhao took off his sweaty jacket. Playing three games was like a workout for him.

But as expected, this boy was even more powerful than he had imagined. When they met before, he clearly saw more Pokémon, but the other party had never used them once.

"Okay, this is your fourth badge, right?"

After handing the Hangzhou Gym badge to Qiao Ran, Jiang Yuanhao still felt a strange sense of trance. This was no longer a challenger with only four badges. After those few matches, he almost felt like he was fighting against some superstar who was breeding new Pokémon.

"What about me? What about me?"

Mei looked eager to try, after all, this was a water gym, and her Serpent was already clamoring to go on stage.

"As for you, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the afternoon."

Jiang Yuanhao shook the Poké Ball in his hand. His three main Pokémons were already in a state where they were unable to fight. Even if Mei wanted to challenge them, she would have to wait until the afternoon.

After all, he couldn't use the second team to fight Mei, and he couldn't let her win like that.

As a gym leader, he still has his own professional qualities.

Chapter 306 [Too Difficult]

"It's so hard for me."

In the afternoon match, Jiang Yuanhao once again lost to Mei, who didn't even have a badge, repeating the tragedy of the morning.

In any case, although Mei looks harmless with her cheerful smile, some of the Pokémon in her main team are only one step away from being the king, so Jiang Yuanhao naturally won't get any benefits from her.

However, Jiang Yuanhao wasn't so depressed as to become withdrawn. As a gym leader, he could handle this. He was just shut out twice in one day, and the perpetrators were two teenagers, one of whom hadn't even held a badge.

"So this is still the Novice Village?"

Among all the gym owners, I am really above average, right?

Right?

Why do I always feel like something is not right?

After waving goodbye to Qiao Ran, Yayi, and Liliae, Jiang Yuanhao walked back to his training room step by step.

Are all the new trainers nowadays so scary?

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

"I want to try the next gym competition too."

After watching two gym matches in a row, Lillie felt that she was good enough. Next time there was a gym challenge, she would also like to try it out. Of course, she couldn't directly fight the gym leader who was in 100% condition. Challenging the gym leader's second or third team... should still be possible, right?

"The next gym... well, according to the route I planned earlier, it should be towards the Demon City."

Qiao Ran pressed his fingers and thought for a while.

According to his plan, he should have gone there a long time ago, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Who knew that there would be so many messed up things?

"If I go to the Magic City, I should be able to see my cousin whom I haven't seen for many years."

"Eh? Cousin?"

Lillie and Mei both became alert.

"Yeah... I haven't seen them for a long time, so I just happened to call home tonight to ask about the situation there." Qiao Ran replied.

"After all, my cousin's family lives quite far from us, so my mom is the only one who keeps in touch with us."

"Eh? Want to... call home?"

Lillie and Mei became increasingly alert.

In the past, Qiao Ran would call home when he had nothing to do, but usually he would deliberately avoid Liliae and the others, so when they heard this news, both of them found it difficult to adapt.

Moreover, they have been staying in the same room these days. The guest rooms at the Hangzhou Elf Center have been very full recently, and there are no extra rooms for them. That means... they will be next to each other when I call later?

Not quite right.

"...What are you guys thinking about? Why don't we just have a video call in the lounge area of ​​the Pokémon Center later?"

Looking at the two people whose expressions were becoming more and more strange, Qiao Ran quickly explained. Mei's condition was okay, she was just a little panicked and at a loss, but Lillie was already looking into his eyes, her cheeks slightly red.

If this continues, he will get nervous.

...Ordinary friends, yes, when the time comes, just say they are ordinary friends and that’s it.

"That's... that's all. It's almost time. Let's go meet up with Tieji and the others first..."

Qiao Ran coughed lightly and forced himself to change the dangerous topic.

They had already made an appointment with Tie Ji and the others for dinner tonight. As gym leaders coming to support Hangzhou, the Alliance also subsidized Tie Ji and the others a day off, allowing them to have a good time here. However, after dinner tonight, they should also return to Jinling.

It's a good opportunity for a few of us to get together and have a farewell dinner.

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

At dinner time, after Tieji's careful selection, several people actually met at a hot pot restaurant.

"This...what is this?"

"Something I haven't eaten yet."

Lillie and Mei both showed great interest and deep fear in this kind of food. Although they had been in this world for a while and had heard some news about it, this was their first time to actually come to such a store.

“Looks so hot…”

"Can you eat something like this?"

Needless to say, Mei, who lives in the Unova region, has a lifestyle that is closer to that of Americans in the real world. As for Lillie, her hometown is the Sinnoh region, which is also a place without hot pot culture.

"It's okay, don't worry if you don't eat spicy food."

Qiao Ran started to explain to the two of them, but at this moment, another group of people arrived.

"Hey, long time no see."

A familiar voice came from behind them. A silver-haired woman was already standing behind them, holding a signature shovel in her hand.

Next to her was a smaller blonde girl, dressed beautifully.

When Qiao Ran saw it, he couldn't help but complain - what the hell is that shovel?

"...Wait, you've been carrying this thing around all day?"

Is there something wrong with this person?

Or is there something wrong with me?

Although I can carry Cang Xiang's sword and walk around, there is no way I would do such a thing, right?

Will you really not be caught by the urban management this way?

"It's not like I'm burdened by this. It's pretty light anyway, right?"

Tieji slammed the shovel to the floor with a loud bang, scaring the waiter next to her so much that he hurried over.

"Guest, guest, please stop. The floor is cracking!"

"Uh." Tieji's expression froze for a moment, and she could only continue to hold the shovel in her hand.

"Anyway...anyway, this thing doesn't have any effect, right? If I see someone snatching something on the street, I can just throw it at them, right?"

Tie Ji waved her hands, and it seemed that she was going to pretend that nothing had happened before. In short, as long as she did not feel embarrassed, then the embarrassment must be

other people.

"No, if you throw this thing in there, even ten thousand lives of an ordinary person wouldn't be able to catch it."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but mutter something under his breath, but he immediately saw Tie Ji's warning look.

"Ok?"

"No...no, I didn't say anything."

Qiao Ran felt a powerful force surging in front of him. Although he was used to big scenes, he actually trembled at this moment.

No, you will die.

"Humph."

Seeing Qiao Ran's expression, Tie Ji raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, and walked forward to hook Qiao Ran's shoulders.

"Let's go eat."

"By the way, tell me, did you deal a heavy blow to Master Jiang?"

Chapter 307 [AR System]

"So hot!"

"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."

Dinner after a battle is always pleasant. Looking at Meiyi who has gradually adapted to the taste and the use of chopsticks, Qiao Ran couldn't help but smile.

"Who said no one would compete with me? Look over there."

Meiyi signaled to Qiao Ran with her eyes. Besides her, there was another person who was staring at the things in the pot.

"That place... is quite special."

Qiao Ran could only spread his hands helplessly. After all, he had been with Tie Ji for so long, and he knew that the gym leader had an amazing appetite. It was no longer the level of an ordinary person, but a level that only some huge Pokémon could reach.

"Qiao Ran, do you want to eat this? This thing is a bit weird."

Unlike a certain genius who quickly mastered chopsticks and even started grabbing food, Lillie was still not used to this world after being in it for so long, so she could only ask Qiao Ran to help her pick up some food.

"If you don't want to eat it, give it to me."

Qiao Ran could only smile and stretch out his chopsticks, and Liliae also obediently picked up the bowl.

As a young lady, Lillie does have some problems in this regard, but there is nothing she can do about it. Things she doesn't like cannot be changed in a short time.

"so."

On the other side, Eve, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Don't be complacent, I will definitely win the next time we meet!"

Qiao Ran: “……?”

What happened? Why are you suddenly talking about this?

"When children eat, they eat. Don't talk about other things."

After hearing Qiao Ran's reply, it was Eve who became excited this time.

"Don't be complacent, I just developed late!"

Qiao Ran blinked, indicating that he knew nothing.
