Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

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

On the second day, several people visited the Hangzhou Dojo again. Master Jiang was almost scared. After explaining that they were actually looking for Qiao Yi, he was slightly relieved.

Looking at the situation, he thought it was a counter-attack and was about to take another badge back to play with.

"As for Qiao Yi, she actually came back last night. If you want to find her, go to the training ground inside. She and the other gym trainers are training there."

"Thank you, Master."

Qiao Ran thanked him, and then he and Liliae followed the direction Jiang Yuanhao pointed and found Qiao Yi who was training.

The girl has long pink hair and blue eyes. Although she doesn't have the Joey family's iconic twin ponytails, she always has a gentle temperament.

"Miss...Joey?"

Mei asked tentatively. She looked at the other person's face and appearance, and became more and more certain in her heart.

It's not fake...it's not a matter of looking very similar, it's definitely Miss Joy's!

As a senior trainer, how could she admit her mistake!

"Hmm...? Do you know me? Also, my name is Qiao Yi, not Joey."

Qiao Yi blinked in confusion, thinking that Mei simply pronounced her name wrong.

"This……"

Mei was stunned. Seeing Qiao Yi's silly look, she didn't know how to answer.

Is this... really amnesia?

Even the name Joey didn't respond. His amnesia might be more serious than she imagined. Moreover, explaining another world at this time would probably only alert him.

It was just like when she first came into this world... At that time, she also couldn't remember anything and was extremely alert to her surroundings.

"Look, this person used to suffer from amnesia, so I brought her here to talk to you. You two can chat for a while, and maybe she'll be able to remember something."

Meiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Qiao Ran's introduction, but this trick was indeed useful. Qiao Yi, who had been a little wary before, immediately understood the situation.

"So... is that so? So... it's someone who has lost their memory like me."

"Yes...yes, I didn't remember anything before, but now after treatment, I feel much better..."

Although she was full of complaints about Qiao Ran, Mei still took this opportunity to pull Qiao Yi aside to chat. In this situation, she couldn't stimulate him too much, and Mei also hoped to get more information from the other party.

Qiao Ran and Lillie stood aside, not knowing what to say, so they could only go to the rest area at the door and wait for Meiyi to come out. After a while, Meiyi finally ended the conversation.

She shook the phone in her hand, a helpless expression on her face, and said, "I got the contact number."

"What else? Any other information?"

Qiao Ran asked.

"A little bit, but the other party still seems a little wary of me, so I'm still holding back on these things." Mei sighed. After all, it was only their first meeting, so it was normal for her to not be very relaxed. Mei was quite helpless about this.

We are all companions who have fallen into the same world, so why can't we communicate about our hometowns?

"She said she can't remember much of what happened before she lost her memory, but she still remembers that her last sight before losing her memory was a glass of spilled water fixed in mid-air."

"The splashed water is fixed in the air..."

Qiao Ran frowned.

What the hell is this?

How come this thing sounds even more mysterious than Reshiram?

"I don't quite understand what these things mean. I'm afraid it's because her memory is still unclear. Maybe she just remembered it wrongly."

Mei's face was also full of confusion, but she still shook the phone in her hand and said, "Anyway, we already have the contact information. As long as I keep in touch with her frequently, when she remembers something, we can be the first to know."

"I'm afraid this is the only way for now. Besides, it would be safer for her to stay with Master Jiang. If all else fails... have Phoebe or Tieji look after her."

Qiao Ran nodded. What Meiyi said was not wrong. There would not be much result if he continued to stay. It would be better to leave everything to time.

As long as she is still a member of the Pokémon world, sooner or later she will remember where she came from.

"So……"

Qiao Ran looked at Liliae who was standing beside him.

"Let's go have lunch first, and then we'll go to the Aether Foundation in the afternoon."

Chapter 310 [Foundation]

In the afternoon, Qiao Ran, Lillie and the others went to Alola in the Pokémon world and came to the long-missed Aether Foundation.

"Qiao Ran! I've already thought of...that!"

As soon as they met, Mitsuki, who had thought it over and seemed to have come to a conclusion about whether to leave, appeared in front of everyone.

"Shh, let's talk about such serious matters later. Let's go first.

How about doing something else?"

Qiao Ran interrupted her. They still had to go find Lusamine to discuss the issue of the Silver Companion Beast. Besides, no matter what answer Mitsuki gave, it would be a difficult choice, and everyone needed a buffer period.

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

"Hmm...it looks like there won't be any big problems."

Lusamine, wearing a white coat, gave Silver Beast a comprehensive checkup. In the deserted Ether Foundation, Lusamine seemed to have become the original researcher again.

"Although I wasn't the person in charge of this project, I reviewed the process data. I didn't expect that the answer to suppressing my impulses was the relationship between me and the trainer."

Lusamine, who was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, pushed up her glasses, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"In that case, could you please take the remaining one with the empty attribute as well?"

During the research of the Ether Foundation, a total of three void-attributed Pokémons were created, and when Qiao Ran discovered them, he also saw three Poké Balls.

One of them was taken away by Lillie's disappeared brother a long time ago, and Qiao Ran also took one away. As for the remaining one, it has never had its own trainer.

"Let...let me do it."

"Oh?"

Seeing Lillie suddenly volunteering, Lusamine showed surprise for the first time.

She stared at Liliae for a while, and her brows relaxed slightly.

Although she had previously had an excessive desire to control Lillie, she also understood that no one understood this child better than her.

"Do you want to become a companion of the Beast Slayer?"

"Yes, I want to be a trainer."

The answer had already been given, so Lillie said it without hesitation.

"it is good."

"well."

It was the first time that Lusamine saw such a look on Lillie's face, and she even said several good words in a row.

Her eyes swept over the faces of Qiao Ran, Meiyi, and Miyue. Was it because of these people... that Lillie had changed so much?

"I will give you the last attribute of the air."

"Also, I want you all to come with me."

Lusamine narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she made this decision after seeing Lillie's expression.

"Please listen carefully to what I say next."

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

"Initially, the Ether Foundation didn't actively explore the idea of ​​'alien beasts'; it simply considered it a research direction."

"However, after we obtained a certain 'exotic beast', this direction suddenly became clear."

Lusamine said as she led everyone to a secret elevator.

"Hasn't Lillie discovered this place before?"

"……Um."

Lillie nodded silently. Although she didn't want to admit it, her knowledge of the Foundation was still too limited.

This is true even if this is where she has always lived.

"It's okay. I've already given you the permission. Even if you want to check the information later, you can start it yourself."

Lusamine didn't use harsh words to undermine Lillie's confidence like she used to, nor did she forcefully control her behavior. This made Lillie clearly feel that her mother seemed to be a little different from before.

"Let's get back to the topic we were just discussing."

Lusamine's expression turned serious again.

"...The Foundation's experiments on Exotic Beasts were led by my husband... Lillie's father. He used the power of that Pokémon to forcibly open the Ultra Hole to another world. However... during one of his experiments, he was swallowed by the Ultra Hole and has been missing ever since."

"You should have heard about this from Liliae, right?"

Qiao Ran heard this, glanced at Lily Ai, and nodded seriously: "Yes."

He had heard these things from Lillie when they were chatting. Moreover, the disappearance of their father was the beginning of the disintegration of their family. It was because of that incident that Lusamine's temperament changed drastically and she wanted to take everything into her own hands.

"...That Pokémon is actually still underground in the Foundation."

Lusamine's hair covered her eyes, so no one could see her expression. However, the truth she spoke in a calm tone made everyone's eyes widen.

"...!"

Qiao Ran was also shocked. He, Lillie, and Miyue... the three of them had been here for so long, and they didn't notice this?

"Could it be... a strange beast with an appearance similar to a nebula?"

"Correct."

Hearing Qiao Ran's question, Lusamine couldn't help but look up and looked at him in surprise.

etc.

How did he know...? Could it be... that Lillie discovered something and told him?

It seems... Lillie's relationship with him... is probably even deeper than she imagined.

Lusamine had mixed feelings, but what had happened before made it impossible for her to say anything more as a mother. She could only look at Qiao Ran deeply and continue to explain what had just happened.

"In the legends of Alola, it is called 'Star Child' and is the juvenile form of the 'Beast that Devours the Sun' and the 'Beast that Attracts the Moon'."

"However, after our foundation's investigation, we discovered that it is actually a strange beast that came to Alola in ancient times. Because it has been in this world for so long, the aura of the strange beast has gradually dissipated."

"It's no problem to call it a Pokémon right now."

The elevator slowly descended and gradually stopped in front of a certain floor.

Lusamine walked forward, pressed her finger, and entered a password.

"...So, Liliae."

Lusamine continued with her actions while speaking.

She didn't look back, still with her back to everyone.

"I hope that as a trainer, you can get this Pokémon out."

"...One day, bring your brother back."

Chapter 311 [Cosmogu]

"I……?"

Lillie pointed at herself, clearly very surprised.

After listening to her mother's long story, she obviously understood the importance of this matter. If it was such an important Pokémon, she felt that there was obviously someone more suitable than her.

For example, Qiao Ran, who had already been recognized by so many legendary Pokémon, was braver, stronger, and more resilient than her. Even Mei and Mitsuki were very powerful trainers, having surpassed many powerful people at her age.

"If it's about raising Pokémon, I might not..."

"No, I hope it's you."

Lusamine turned around, a helpless look on her face.

"... Consider this my last request of you, Lillie. This Pokémon has a great relationship with our family. If possible, I hope you can raise it well."

Looking at her mother like this, Liliae opened her mouth but had no intention of refutation.
