Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Looking at Qiao Ran and his group walking towards the room, Eve seemed a little reluctant to go back.

"Then come back later. Vulpix is ​​tired and she needs to rest."

Qiao Ran glanced at Liuwei lying in his arms. Her breathing had gradually become stable and she seemed to have fallen asleep. Qiao Ran was willing to

I must take her back and let her have a good sleep.

"Well, I'll go out for a walk. Ah - if only I had signed up for the exhibition match before, I would definitely be able to win the championship now."

Eve rubbed her wig and walked in the opposite direction of Qiao Ran, while Qiao Ran walked through the long corridor to his room.

Not long after, Qiao Ran came to the door holding Vulpix. He opened the door and walked in first, with Diancie following quietly behind.

Suddenly, Diancie from the back made a sound, called out to Qiao Ran who was still in the front, and quietly closed the door.

"Wait, brother... No, Master, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Qiao Ran looked back at her a little confused. He had no idea what Diancie wanted to say.

"it is this."

Diancie stretched out her hands that were hidden behind her back, and in her hands were three Poké Balls lying quietly.

"While Master was participating in the competition, I also went to do some work. These are all Flying-type Pokémon... Including these, we'll have 100..."

Noticing that Qiao Ran hadn't spoken for a long time, Diancie lowered her head, timidly not daring to look into Qiao Ran's eyes: "Master... Master, don't you like it? I took the initiative..."

She wanted to be useful, so...she would do anything.

"No... you did a great job, very good!" When seeing these Poké Balls, Qiao Ran was really surprised. If he had followed the normal plan, he might have to wait until tomorrow to start capturing Pokémon.

"Great, Diancie, we can complete the mission again! Today... No, we can complete it now!"

Holding the Poké Ball in his hand, Qiao Ran couldn't help but get excited.

"Then... Master, can you hug me?"

"Hmm? Well... isn't it every night..." Qiao Ran was a little confused.

"It's different! It's different now than that..."

Diancie began to explain, but the more she explained, the redder her cheeks became.

"Okay, no need to say more, I understand."

Qiao Ran showed a helpless smile, bent down slightly, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"..." At that moment, Diancie felt that her breathing stopped for a second.

This feeling……

However, neither of them noticed that Vulpix, lying on the bed, had quietly opened one eye and was looking at them without blinking, with a hint of curiosity and confusion on his face...

Chapter 40040【The significance of mutual understanding】

"What is it...?"

Liuwei didn't understand what was happening in front of her, but she suddenly felt that she had lost something important - she had been with Qiao Ran since she was born, so she always thought that it was natural for her to be good to Qiao Ran and for Qiao Ran to be good to her.

However, as time went on, some things began to change.

"..."

Liuwei still lay on the bed without saying a word, just quietly watching the scene in front of her. However, everything that happened today left a mark in her heart. Some things were changing, and she herself was also learning and understanding more things.

—————————————————————————————

Vulpix was lying on the bed resting, while Eve was still wandering outside. She would probably come back before lunch. In order to prevent her from noticing anything, Qiao Ran had to leave Diancie in the real world, and he went to the Pokémon Land alone.

He didn't go there to summon new partners this time, he just wanted to see Suicune.

——After all, Qiao Ran felt that it would be better to summon new partners when everyone was present, so that he could feel integrated into their family.

Moreover, Qiao Ran felt that he had really neglected Suicune recently. He brought Diancie and Vulpix on board, but not her. In the end, even the sleeping spot originally reserved for her was occupied by Eve.

Obviously, she was the most recent Pokémon to come to Qiao Ran and the one who needed care the most.

"I'm sorry... Suicune, I left you here alone again."

"Ow—"

Qiao Ran sat on the grass, while Shui Jun lay beside him, looking at the river flowing in front of them.

Qiao Ran was actually a little helpless. Suicune's identity was too special. Even if he wanted Suicune to participate in the battle, he couldn't let her out in front of a group of spectators.

"I'll let you fight if I get the chance."

"Ow."

Suicune nodded gently, but his eyes were fixed on his reflection in the water.

For her, she is not afraid of loneliness. As the incarnation of the north wind, she has always been a solitary person. No matter how lonely she is, she will not feel any discomfort.

However, she also likes the feeling of being needed by her master...Qiao Ran...is the only one besides the Wind King's eldest daughter who makes Suicune feel this way.

"Don't worry, I'll let you fight. When have I ever lied to you? Wait...wait! Don't lick my neck, hahahaha!"

Before he knew it, Shui Jun had already thrown Qiao Ran onto the grass and licked his neck with his tongue.

Jun didn't know how to express her affection, so she could only use this simple and primitive way.

"It's so itchy..."

Qiao Ran finally broke free from Suicune's licking hell. Although it was really itchy, he didn't hate such interaction. After all, being able to do such a thing showed that Suicune was in a pretty good mood.

"Sui-kun, when you can transform into a human form, I will take you out more often. Sometimes the human world and the Pokémon world are still different. Only by experiencing different lives, perhaps we can understand each other better... Vulpix and Diancie are like this... You will be like this too."

Qiao Ran lay on the grass, and gradually, he seemed to understand the true meaning of humanization. This special change in form was a bridge that brought them closer together.

No matter how close the relationship between humans and Pokémon is, there is always a decisive barrier. However, once this barrier is broken, everything will change. Pokémon will better understand human habits and lives, and humans will consider Pokémon's affairs from more perspectives.

At least, Qiao Ran has always treated his Pokémon as his best friends, as living people, rather than tools to win.

They will live together, eat together, sleep in the same bed, and nothing will be different.

"Ow."

Suicune nodded, indicating that she understood what Qiao Ran meant. However, she did not urgently want to transform into a human form because she loved her body - this body given by Miss Phoenix King also had a different meaning to her.

Besides, she can now do very well anything that the human body can do.

——For example, cooking or washing clothes.

She can even control the water flow and wind, making it a one-stop laundry and quick-drying machine. She is simply a terrifying biological washing machine.

"Well, it's about time I get out, or some rambunctious girl will start looking for someone."

Qiao Ran called out Rotom and checked the time, then said goodbye to Suicune and left. It was already noon, and if he didn't go back, something might really go wrong.

After all, Qiao Ran didn't intend to let others know that he had such ability.

Back in the real world, Qiao Ran opened the door and came out of the bathroom. He looked around the room and found that Eve was not there. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, his eyes then shifted to the two girls on the bed, as Vulpix and Diancie were both looking at each other with seemingly odd expressions.

"Did...what happen?"

Qiao Ran scratched his hair in confusion. Could something have happened during the time he was away?

"No, nothing."

"Um...no."

However, what surprised Qiao Ran was that both Vulpix and Diancie denied that anything had happened. As if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they both kept their mouths shut.

"...??"

Looking at their appearance, Qiao Ran had more question marks on his face. He took a step forward and wanted to continue asking about the situation.

"that--"

However, just when he was about to speak, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Qiao Ran turned around helplessly and went back to open the door.

"Stop knocking, stop knocking, there's no need to be so loud..."

Qiao Ran thought it was Eve who knocked on the door, but when he opened the door, what appeared was... the little girl standing against the wall, panting.

The once shiny golden hair of the babe has turned dirty, and his body is covered with scars.

"Mmmmmm lips!!"

As soon as he saw Qiao Ran, Michunwa started shouting eagerly, his face full of anxiety.

“……?” Qiao Ran had no idea what she was talking about. He couldn’t understand the language of Pokémon except his own.

However, the two girls behind Qiao Ran both have the ability to translate.

"She...just said...Eve...Eve was captured! She was the only one...who managed to escape! Please save Eve..."

Diancie's expression changed slightly.

"What?!" Qiao Ran also widened his eyes when he heard this.

On this ship...someone was actually captured?!

And he can even capture Eve... You know, that girl is actually quite strong!

Chapter 41 041 [Pursuit] (Please vote!)

To be honest, if Qiao Ran had heard this for no reason, he would definitely question its authenticity. To take Eve away, one must be extremely powerful. Moreover, one must also meet the two conditions of "not alerting other people on the ship" and "ending the battle quickly". To achieve all these points at the same time, Qiao Ran did not believe that there happened to be such a person on the ship.

However, when the bruised and battered Baby appeared in front of him, he had to believe it even if he didn't want to.

"Where was that guy taken?"

Qiao Ran became a little anxious, partly because of his worry about Eve, and partly because of her special identity - if she was captured, his clue to finding Mei would be completely cut off!

regardless

Whatever the reason, Qiao Ran must set out to find her.

"Mimi, mimi, mimi!"

The little boy stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, then showed a painful expression and fell directly to the ground.

"Oh no... she fainted. What did she just say?" Qiao Ran looked at Diancie behind him.

"She said it was on the deck... After Eve was kidnapped, the robbers took her on a speedboat and escaped... in the opposite direction of the ship's movement..."

Diancie carefully translated and repeated what the limp baby had said.

"Speedboat..." Qiao Ran's heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that the other party had planned the kidnapping this time and even prepared the tools for escape.

"Dianci, you stay here and take care of the lipped baby."

"Master... I..." Diancie was a little confused as to why she was left here when her strength could obviously be put to better use.

"Sorry, this battle may take place on the sea, so it will be disadvantageous for you. You'd better stay here." Qiao Ran spoke quickly and opened the door.

"Vulpix, you come with me first."

"Ahhh." Liuwei jumped off the bed and was held on Qiao Ran's shoulders.

"Okay, let's go now. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we won't be able to find each other."

Qiao Ran anxiously took Vulpix out of the room. However, before leaving, Vulpix quietly turned around and glanced at Diancie who was still standing there with some pride.

Diancie could only glare back, her teeth itching. Since it was her master's arrangement, there was nothing she could do. Besides, what Qiao Ran said was indeed true. Fighting at sea was too disadvantageous for her... If she wasn't careful, she might even sink into the sea.

——————————————————————————————

Running all the way in the cabin, Qiao Ran passed countless stairs and finally reached the deck.

"The opposite direction from the ship... is that way?"

Standing on the edge of the deck, facing the blowing sea breeze, Qiao Ran squinted his eyes to confirm the direction, then he jumped up and flipped over the fence.

"Oh my God! Someone jumped!"

"Hurry up, call someone!"

The innocent passersby on the side were stunned. Although they did not notice Qiao Ran's appearance, they all clearly saw something flipping over the fence - the shape was undoubtedly a person!

They panicked and wanted to call the crew to deal with it. However, when they arrived at the fence, they were surprised to find that hundreds of meters away from the boat, there was a blue, wolf-like creature running wildly on the water.
