Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Anyway, she'll probably be staying in Galar for a while. During this time, I might need to ask you to take care of her."

"where."

Mari looked at Mitsuki and Yuri in the field.

"It should be said that she is the one who takes care of us."

——Two short-haired girls of similar height were standing together, and they really looked like sisters.

"You smiled?"

Qiao Ran looked at Mary's profile and couldn't help but ask.

"...No." Mary denied it flatly.

"I clearly saw it."

"Humph."

How could she show such an expression at this time?

Chapter 313 [Cultivation]

After settling Meiyue's affairs, the group stayed at Mary's house and had a doomsday-style dinner. Of course, they mainly used the ingredients that Qiao Ran brought from the frontier. After all, in today's Galar, food is still a very precious thing.

Every time he comes here, Qiao Ran will bring some things with him.

Although Qiao Ran had suggested before that they try to let him bring more, Mary ultimately rejected it.

First, Qiao Ran wasn't wealthy, so bringing in food from outside was a burden. Second, and more importantly, Jianding Town lacked sufficient electricity to increase its food storage capacity. Even if Qiao Ran brought a lot, it would be wasted if it couldn't be digested for a while. Furthermore, Jianding Town's main source of food was gradually shifting towards raising animals and cultivating farmland, as Mali had suggested.

"...Perhaps, Spike Town is even more prosperous now than when my brother was here."

On the table,

Mary couldn't help but blurt out this sentence. Although this sentence might be a little difficult to understand, what Mary said was indeed true to a certain extent.

Spike Town itself is an unknown town on the border of Galar. It has a lack of talent and its buildings are dilapidated. It is not because of the bad geographical environment or that it is not suitable for human habitation. It is simply because there is no Gigantamax energy here, so it cannot be developed into an entertainment venue and tourist attraction.

The people of Galar are moving towards gigantic cities, and the small, uninhabited villages and towns around them are gradually becoming deserted.

It was precisely because of Galar's President Ross's vigorous promotion of the method of "using Gigantamax as a selling point to attract investment" that this series of consequences occurred.

However, the irony is that when Gigantamaxing became a disaster, the energy-less Spike Town became a refuge for refugees, and many empty buildings in the town are now full of people.

This is probably why Mary said that.

"Indeed, Spike Town is now more vibrant than before."

At the dinner table, Mary's parents couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"Normally, we don't see so many young people like you. Only Mary and her brother stay in town like this."

"But this is the first time Mary has brought a boy home for dinner like this..."

"mom!"

Mary, who was eating in silence, couldn't help but make a sound, interrupting her parents' increasingly outrageous words.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Just have some jam." Mary's mother smiled and let everything go.

Looking at this scene, Qiao Ran felt a sense of empathy.

As expected, even parents from another world are like this?

Even the usually aloof Mary couldn't withstand such an attack...

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

After returning from Galar, Qiao Ran and his friends returned to the dormitory of the Pokémon Center.

"Hasn't it woken up yet?"

"Not yet."

Looking at little Xingyun lying in Lillie's arms, there was a hint of worry in Mei's eyes. So much time has passed, why hasn't she woken up yet?

too weird.

Could it be Jirachi too?

When they went to Galar, they always kept Nebula in the frontier. The ecology and environment there were very suitable for Pokémon's life. Not only Nebula, but they also usually kept other Pokémon in the frontier.

The frontier not only has naturally grown fruits, but also many legendary Pokémon seniors who can be consulted. It is simply a dreamlike world.

"...But after this trip, Lillie's Pokémon has increased a lot."

Qiao Ran on the side couldn't help but sigh. Lillie already had two Hollows, and now after going to Alola, her mother forced her to give her a Hollow and a Cosmomm.

Wow, putting these Pokémon together, this team's configuration is too luxurious, right?

——Two exotic beasts, a little Arceus, and a juvenile form of a genuine top legendary Pokémon.

If the remaining two Pokémon were of this level, Hollowid would become the one that held them back the most.

However, Lillie's two Hollow Ids are not ordinary beings. One of them once parasitized Mei, and the other parasitized Mitsuki. If they could be humanized... maybe they could even turn into a white-haired version.

"Although I have a lot more Pokémon, I will train them seriously. And Nebula... our family owes it too much. It's still so young, yet it has to undergo those experiments."

"I will cultivate it well."

Lillie seemed very motivated. After all, she had two very powerful Pokémon trainers by her side. Even if something went wrong, they could always ask them for help. Moreover, there were legendary Pokémon in the frontier that could transform into human form. She could also ask them about Pokémon... She had nothing to be afraid of at all.

If there is no way to become a qualified trainer under such circumstances... No, how could such a thing be possible.

Liliae secretly shook her head in her heart. Even if they didn't believe in herself, she had to believe in her companions, Qiao Ran, Meiyi and the others.

"Then get some rest tonight. Lillie, you too. Don't worry too much about Nebula-chan. I asked Rotom a while ago, and he's fine. He's just a little tired. He should be fine by tomorrow."

Earlier, during his free time, Qiao Ran also used Rotom's atlas ability to check out Little Nebula's information.

「Name: Cosmom

Level: 10

Although the level is a little low, there is no special status marked on it, which means that there is nothing abnormal about the status of the small nebula.

"Even so..."

Liliae was still a little worried.

"I still sleep with it at night."

From Lillie's face, you can't tell that some time ago, she was still a girl who was afraid to touch Pokémon.

These days...she has really changed a lot.

Or

Perhaps this is why Lusamine gave Little Nebula to her.

"Okay." Qiao Ran smiled helplessly. He actually already knew Lillie's choice a long time ago. After all, she has always been that kind girl.

It is impossible for her to just leave Little Xingyun aside.

"However, we have to leave for the next town tomorrow, so you need to get some rest and don't exhaust yourself."

Chapter 314 [Little Nebula]

The next day came, and as expected, just as Qiao Ran said, little Xingyun, who had been held by Lillie all night, had woken up.

When Qiao Ran got up, the two girls were already gathered there, observing this magical Pokémon.

"So cute...your cheeks are still red."

"It's got sparkles inside it, and it can even float in the air like a cloud."

"Mo..."

"Is there anything you want to eat? Do you want some candy?"

Surrounded by Lillie and Mei, Little Nebula smiled happily and swallowed the candy in one gulp.

Perhaps because it had been held by Lillie for a long time, it didn't seem afraid of people even when they met for the first time. These legendary Pokémon were very smart.

"Mo...Moko!"

"I can float in the air, too, Lotom." Rotom, who was wandering around with nothing to do, couldn't help but mutter, and moved closer to Little Nebula. However, Little Nebula, who had just been laughing, suddenly burst into tears when she saw Rotom.

"Rotom!"

"…What…what's wrong, Loto."

Looking at the unfriendly looks from the two girls beside him, a drop of sweat ran down Rotom's display screen, and he had no choice but to fly away.

Seeing Rotom leave, Little Nebula's emotions gradually stabilized, and she chewed the candy in her mouth excitedly.

"Suddenly happy and suddenly crying, this really is like a child."

Mei has no experience in raising Pokémon from a young age. Apart from the starter three Pokémon selected by the research institute, all her Pokémon were encountered during travels. She is completely clueless about the experience of hatching Pokémon and raising them from a young age.

"Well, it looks like it really likes candy. Let's prepare some later."

Lillie secretly took note of this. Remembering the likes and dislikes of each Pokémon is also the most basic skill of a trainer.

"...Wait, did you just say its cheeks were red?"

Qiao Ran, who had just woken up, heard their discussion, but after hearing a certain sentence, he immediately became alert.

Not quite right.

"No, let me take a look."

Qiao Ran casually put on a coat and moved closer to Xiao Xingyun.

——As expected, just as Lillie and the others had said, its cheeks were red.

When it was sleeping before, its cheeks did not turn this color, but were blue as usual. It was for this reason that Qiao Ran did not think much about it at the time.

But in fact, the cheeks of ordinary Cosmos should not be red, but blue. If they appear red, there is only one possibility.

——Like some of Qiao Ran’s Pokémon, this Cosmoem is actually a shiny individual with a different color.

It’s just that when it’s a juvenile, the degree of different color is not so obvious.

"it turns out……"

"What's wrong?"

It seemed that he noticed that something was wrong with Qiao Ran. He stared at Xiao Xingyun for a long time after waking up. Liliae couldn't help but ask.

Could it be...that there is something wrong with Little Xingyun's body?

"No...it's okay, just a little surprised."

Qiao Ran did not explain anything in detail. Although he would share most things with them, he did not know how to explain some things related to memory. After all, in order to identify an individual as a heterochromatic individual, he must have seen more than one individual of normal color.

As a trainer, where could he find so many normal Legendary Pokémon?

So, this kind of thing cannot be explained at all.

"You guys play with it for a while, I'm going to go wash up first."

Qiao Ran shook his head and walked towards the bathroom.

This legendary Pokémon has two evolutionary branches.

Perhaps because it is some kind of "Ultimate Beast" itself, it does not have innate powers like most legendary Pokémon, but needs to be improved through evolution.

Its evolutionary direction is to become the lion that devours the sun, Solgaleo, the sun god of Alola.

The other direction is to invite the bat of the moon, Lunala, the moon goddess of Alola.

Which one will it evolve into then?

Qiao Ran began to feel a sense of anticipation.

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

morning.

Qiao Ran and his group, having packed up, have already set off.

On the journey to the Magic City.

However, the first thing Qiao Ran did was to lead everyone to the bus station.
