Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Page 231

They didn't know what exactly happened in the Pokémon world, but after listening to Qiao Ran and the others' previous descriptions, they probably guessed that there were huge risks there. Even a trainer like Qiao Ran was in danger of losing his life at any time in that environment.

...How could they not worry about this?

"I encountered some situations."

Qiao Ran sat down on the sofa, picked up the drink on the table, and gulped down a few sips.

Qiao Ran, Meiyi and Lillie all looked a little disheveled. Although they were not in a terrible state, it was obvious that they had been through something.

"Actually, this is the case..."

After taking a short breath, Qiao Ran finally told everyone what had happened before. This sudden incident was indeed beyond his expectations. Moreover, these things had to be explained clearly to Nazhi and Zhulan.

"So... you're just coming back to rest now, and we still have to go to the Alola region tomorrow?"

After listening to everything Qiao Ran said, Nazhi touched her chin and frowned tightly.

The situation described by Qiao Ran was beyond her imagination. Things like "space blockade" and "ultimate beast" had already touched upon her blind spots in knowledge, not to mention a remote place like the Alola region. As an actor who often filmed, she would only go there when certain movies needed to be shot.

If it were in other regions, perhaps they could still hang out around for promotion, but Alola itself doesn't have many people, and some people live in some strange nooks and crannies, so promotion would be useless, so normal film companies would not think of promoting here.

"Well, tomorrow we plan to find another companion and go to the Alola region with her. She's participated in the Alola Islands Pilgrimage before and is very familiar with the local situation. Moreover, her mother also lives in Alola now. If possible, we can also confirm the situation of her family..."

Qiao Ran pursed his lips and did not delve into the topic. Except for Nancy, whose situation was more complicated, everyone present had something they cared about in the Pokémon world. But to be honest... Qiao Ran could not guarantee what would happen in the current Pokémon world. Even the worst case scenario was possible.

"She, like Lillie and the others, can travel through worlds with me, so maybe I can see you tomorrow."

Like Mei, Mitsuki is also a very orthodox trainer. Before moving to Alola, she was a native of Kanto. She must be familiar with Nancy and Ran, and might even be so excited that she cries.

"So, you guys aren't planning on competing tomorrow?"

Nazi asked, with a slightly complicated expression.

She looked into Qiao Ran's eyes. Although Qiao Ran did not answer immediately, she could already understand what he was thinking from his eyes.

"alright, I got it."

A game is just a game after all.

"We can't participate, so tomorrow's championship depends on you. You must win it. I'm sure you can do it."

"Yeah." Listening to Qiao Ran's words, Nazi just responded absentmindedly.

In this world, there are many things more important than this kind of competition, such as everything that is happening in the Pokémon world right now.

but……

...Looking at Qiao Ran's face and listening to these words, strange emotions suddenly surged in her heart. Nazi could only close her eyes and lean weakly on the sofa.

Tomorrow...ah.

She suddenly felt a little tired.

Nancy suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation, while Zhulan beside her asked another question.

"By the way, what conditions did that child, who can travel through worlds like Mei and the others, use to be able to do this?"

"I want to hear more details."

The news brought back by Qiao Ran made Zhulan more interested in the current situation in the Pokémon world. Moreover, in addition to Lillie and Mei, there was actually someone who could travel through the world with Qiao Ran. This made her even more curious. How did they do this?

"You said before, right? If you want to travel through the world, you have to pay a price. And this price is so great that it will take a lifetime to pay. So what exactly is this price?"

As a scholar, Zhulan wasn't entirely satisfied with Qiao Ran's previous ambiguous answers; she needed a more detailed explanation. Furthermore, at the time, they weren't very familiar with each other, so a little reservation was normal. But now, Zhulan wanted to know more.

The reason why it is a price is that there must be a price to pay.

And what can a person give?

Life? Or something else?

And what is the reason for this payment?

"This……"

Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment

To be honest, he didn't really want to answer this question. Turning people into Pokémon was indeed a very evil practice. It sounded like the villains of some evil organization. The first time he discovered this was an accident that happened to Lillie...

"Ok."

Qiao Ran thought for a few seconds and finally gave up struggling. He looked at Lillie and Mei, and after they all nodded, Qiao Ran told everything to Zhulan and Nancy in front of him.

There is no way to hide from it, you can only face it head on.

"The price is actually becoming a Pokémon."

Qiao Ran took out a Poké Ball from the space crack and placed it on the table.

"Also, if you want to become a Pokémon, there's a step you have to prepare in advance."

Chapter 422 [Pokeball]

Some things really need to be discussed openly and honestly. Only when things are made clear can everyone have a deeper understanding.

However, when Qiao Ran brought everything to the table and explained everything clearly to Nazhi and Zhulan, they still widened their eyes in surprise.

"...You said...your method is to use Poké Balls to collect humans?"

The two looked at each other, both with a hint of incomprehension and disbelief in their expressions.

Poké Balls, this kind of thing is actually not that simple.

Legend has it that the Poké Ball originated from an accidental experiment by a certain professor. According to textbook records, this was actually discovered by Professor Nishino Mori, the founder of Pokémonology, while conducting an experiment to extract the anger energy of Infernape.

The story goes that a professor, now nearing retirement age, made a mistake in administering medication to Infernape, weakening the crucial creature. Perhaps driven by its survival instinct, Infernape curled up in the nearby case of the professor's reading glasses, curling up in a fetal position. This incident sparked the development of the Pokémon Capsule and established a method for capturing Pokémon. The capsule, after several refinements, became the commercially available "Poké Ball," which promises to easily capture Pokémon with a high capture rate.

However, this story has not been officially confirmed. Since the original source of this information is no longer traceable, the origin of the Poké Ball remains a matter of debate, with one theory directly pointing to the Silver Company in Golden City, Kanto, the largest Poké Ball manufacturer in the Pokémon region.

Despite the many different opinions on these things, the Poké Ball is still one of the most important props in the Pokémon world. No matter how big or bulky the Pokémon is, it can be stored in a small sphere and carried with you. This is not because the Poké Ball itself has such technology, but because the Pokémon itself has this ability to change.

Just like some Pokémon can shrink themselves, Pokémon possess potential that humans cannot imagine. The ability of the Poké Ball to capture Pokémon is not only because the Poké Ball is special enough, but also because Pokémon itself is unique.

This kind of ability is simply impossible for humans to achieve.

Therefore, not only can Poké Balls not hold humans, they cannot even hold other objects. Although there have been attempts in history to use Poké Balls within Poké Balls and Poké Balls within Poké Balls, this operation is not practical in general battles, so the research on "specializing Poké Balls for Poké Balls" eventually came to nothing and became history.

"...No...can you really put a person in it?"

Before Qiao Ran arrived, Zhulan was still a little sleepy, but after hearing so much explosive news, she no longer felt sleepy.

No wonder... Qiao Ran said before that this decision would affect his whole life. It’s not a question of whether it will last a lifetime or not. I’m afraid that at the moment of making the decision, he must have been under tremendous pressure in his heart.

"real."

Qiao Ran looked at Lillie beside him and asked her what she thought. Lillie shrugged helplessly, indicating that she didn't care.

In order to show the two people in front of her that everything they said was true, Lillie had to show them the real "thing".

She reached out and gently tapped the Poké Ball that Qiao Ran had placed on the table earlier.

With just such a light touch, a red light shot out from the Poké Ball and wrapped around Lillie's body. Then - there was a slight flash, and Lillie seemed to turn into light, entered the Poké Ball, and disappeared in front of everyone.

"...!"

This scene happened in front of everyone, and the distance was so close that there was no possibility of falsification.

Nancy also saw all of this with her own eyes. Lillie really disappeared in front of her. Even her super powers could not sense the other party's existence. At that moment, there was no trace of using super powers. In other words, this was not the effect of teleportation.

This is real...I was really caught in the ball!!

"real."

Zhulan next to her also stayed where she was, muttering to herself blankly.

Such a big person who was just here... is gone just like that?

This……

It was rare for Zhulan to show such a surprised look. It was the first time that Qiao Ran saw Zhulan with such an expression. He didn't expect it to be at this time.

"So, there's no way I'd lie to you about this."

Qiao Ran never intended to use this kind of thing to deceive others, but he also understood that if this information leaked to some "interested people", it would probably cause a lot of unpredictable troubles.

"Boom."

A slight sound was heard, and the Poké Ball on the table opened again. Lillie, who had disappeared before, reappeared in front of everyone at this time.

"……Hello everyone?"

Lillie seemed to have noticed that the looks from the people around her were a little strange, so she had to adjust the atmosphere herself. She had slowly come to terms with the fact that she had become a "Pokémon", and... this matter did not conflict with her thoughts. To be able to have her current life and to have achieved so many changes, she did not feel that she had paid any irreparable price.

Perhaps the most crucial point is that Qiao Ran has never differentiated between Pokémon or humans. Even though their identities are slightly different, nothing has ever changed between them.

"Actually, I can do it too. Do you want me to try it?"

Mei on the side also interjected a word. Unlike Lillie, after she obtained the identity of a Pokémon, she made full use of this identity. Sometimes she would even take the initiative to run into the Poké Ball, saying that she wanted to experience the feeling of Pokémon or something.

"...Forget it, forget it. I already know everything. Don't even try."

Nancy interrupted Mei's actions directly. It was already very late. After experiencing so many things at such a late hour, she felt a little numb. Now, she just wanted to know the reason behind it and how Qiao Ran did it.

"So, what's next? If I become a Pokémon, can I go to the Pokémon World? Or is it because the Pokémon World only allows Pokémon to enter and excludes humans?"

Nazhi looked at Qiao Ran and asked her own questions.

Tonight's conversation is far from over.
