Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Not far away, Suicune and Latias, who were observing the situation here, couldn't help but make a sound.

"He's been very tired recently. It's good for him to have some rest." Latias thought of the previous battle. Obviously, Pokémon like them could recover quickly, but it took Qiao Ran, a human, a long time to wake up.

"But this is not the best recovery." Suicune showed an unfathomable smile on her face. She couldn't help but think of what she heard at the door of Diancie's house before.

She put her mouth close to Latias's ear and whispered softly for a while.

"Actually... only by doing this and doing this can we..."

"Eh?"

Latias's face instantly turned red.

"Really? Is this really possible?"

She had never heard of such a thing!

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

The next day, the group packed up their things and set out from the Aether House early in the morning, ready to head to the Quiet City of Malie.

Only by setting off at this time can we ensure that we arrive at the quiet city of Malie before dark. If it is at night, the impact of the night on human trainers is still extremely huge. I am afraid that only Lillie and Mei can maintain their normal state with the help of Qiao Ran who has the power of wave guidance.

In order to see a few people off, the children who usually don't get up so early also got up early in the morning.

"Sister Acerola, we must defeat that monster!"

"Uncle Mo Dan, come on!"

Modan and Acerola are like their family, accompanying them for countless days and nights. Although their heads cannot understand many things, what they know is that what Acerola and Modan are going to do now is also for them.

"Brother Qiao Ran, this is for you..."

Even Qiao Ran received a small amulet from the children. There was a pattern drawn on it with crooked handwriting, which looked like some strange belief in Alola.

"Thank you, I will keep it well."

Qiao Ran took it from the children's hands with a smile and put it solemnly in his arms.

Qiao Ran would not let the children down, and most importantly, he was ready to win this battle.

"Qiao Ran, let's go."

Meiyi took Qiao Ran's hand and took him out of the Ether House.

"Mom, you must protect them." Lillie reminded her before leaving. Lusamine nodded and smiled, telling Lillie not to worry.

Since she made a promise, she will definitely fulfill it.

After leaving the Aether House, several people returned to the scorching sun of Alola. Modan and Acerola seemed a little uncomfortable with such an environment. After all, they had stayed in the building for too long in the previous period of time.

"There might be a lot of Ultra Beasts on the road, you guys..."

As a senior, Mo Dan was about to say a few words when he saw Qiao Ran and others already taking their positions and skillfully releasing their Pokémon.

"...!"

This... this is...

The layman sees the excitement, the expert sees the details. As a former Interpol officer, he also saw that the position where Qiao Ran and his men stood was not a random whim, but a way of standing that could observe all directions. Moreover, considering the safety of the trainer himself, he specially let a more flexible Pokémon stay close to the trainer.

"Looks like... I don't need to teach you anything anymore."

Mo Dan scratched his head and chuckled. Were these things all summarized by them in actual combat?

This kind of tacit understanding...isn't it too strong?

It's almost like telepathy.

"Hmm..." Acerola tapped her lips beside her. Although she didn't see as many things as Modan, she still saw one thing - Mitsuki and the others' Pokémon had obviously become stronger than when she met them before.

During this period of time, she herself could basically be said to have made no progress at all.

"Acerola, if you don't catch up, you'll be left behind."

Mitsuki looked back at Acerola who was still standing there and couldn't help but call out to her.

Acerola usually seems to be in a daze, with all kinds of strange ideas in his mind. However, in such a dangerous place, he should not be in a daze, right?

"Coming~"

Acerola responded and hurriedly trotted after him. There were several ghost-type Pokémon surrounding her.

She couldn't stand still like this any longer.

Mitsuki and the others are all fighting and making progress, so as a trainer, she also has to keep moving forward.

Chapter 490 [Evil Food King]

"Huh? You want my help? Why should I ask for your help?"

They arrived at Po Town and found Guzma, the former leader of the Skeleton Team. However, when Qiao Ran and others proposed that he join, Guzma showed a disdainful attitude.

“Master Guzma wouldn’t…”

"Guzma!"

Bull Beauty, who was standing behind him, suddenly interrupted his bragging with an extremely serious expression. The other members of the Skeleton Team around him were also very serious.

“This is the only chance.”

"Yeah! Boss, we're almost out of food here."

"If we can solve the problem over there, we can survive!"

“…” Guzma shut up after hearing what his former subordinate said, and he couldn’t help but frown.

Acerola, who was sitting across from him, saw that something was going to happen, so she added, "Actually, Chairman Lusamine also hopes you can participate. Your strength is indispensable."

"...!"

Guzma's expression froze for a moment.

After a while, his fingers moved.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll reluctantly help you."

Guzma suddenly jumped up from his chair, and even his attitude changed drastically.

Qiao Ran widened his eyes in astonishment. Did Lusamine's name have such an effect?

Isn't this too strange?

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

They captured a Guzma on the way, and then the team of several people moved towards the quiet city of Marie. Other trainers were still needed to defend Po Town, so Bull Beauty and the other Skeleton Team did not follow. Moreover, in a battle of this level, the more people the better, it is also very necessary to keep the team above a certain level.

"Have you ever fought that monster before? Can you tell me what it was like?"

Before the battle, Qiao Ran also hoped to get more information. Although he already had an idea of ​​"that thing" in his mind, it would be more accurate to get the personal account from the eyewitnesses.

"It was a... a strange beast that was two or three stories tall, with a huge mouth on its belly, constantly devouring everything around it."

Acerola thought about it and expressed his opinion.

"Also, Uncle Mo Dan and I's attacks didn't seem to cause much damage to it. It was as if it was resisted."

"Um……"

Qiao Ran touched his chin. If it was really the monster with evil and dragon attributes, it could indeed resist the ghost attribute that Aserola was good at and the evil attribute that Modan was good at.

——The ultimate beast, the evil-eating king.

For two trainers who are good at ghost and dark attributes, a Pokémon that can resist the attacks of both of them can basically be considered a sure kill.

And this evil food king is indeed the most difficult to deal with among the ultimate beasts.

Unlike the Ultimate Beasts such as Xuwuid and Explosive Mosquito, which have clearly defined populations, the Evil Food King does not have a so-called tribe.

This is the ultimate beast that devoured the world in the legend. Moreover, because its body shape is very similar to that of God Z, one of the three gods of Kalos - Zygarde who maintains the ecological balance, there is also a legend that it is Zygarde that is in collapse. If this legend is true, it will undoubtedly be a huge tragedy.

——The original guardian of the ecology has become a destroyer that destroys everything, with the sole purpose of ultimately wiping out everything and returning to the original point.

"Ha! I've fought that thing before, and it felt pretty good. However, I had to consider the situation of my subordinates, so I didn't get too involved with it."

Compared to Acerola and Modan, Guzma, who is good at insect attributes, is obviously much more proud. His attacks do not cause no reaction, and the thing will still feel pain.

"Insect-attribute attacks are indeed quite good. If I'm guessing correctly, that Ultra Beast, in addition to being weak to insects, also has weaknesses to fighting, ice, dragon, and fairy. Among them, the most effective is the fairy attribute."

Qiao Ran has already confirmed the other party's identity. The next step is to let everyone use targeted Pokémon and skills.

"Fairy-attribute skills..." A strange expression appeared on Modan's face. His evil-attribute Pokémon had not learned many skills of these attributes, but if he insisted, he could still use some of them.

In this situation, Guzma, who joined in the middle, has indeed become an indispensable main force. Bug-type Pokémon can always exert great power when facing dark-type Pokémon.

Continuing along the main road of Ula'ula Island, everyone methodically cleared out the Ultra Beasts they encountered along the way. Finally, the group's footsteps gradually approached the largest city on the island -

The quiet city of Malie.

This is a city built on the seaside. The shapes of the houses and the local customs and practices are very oriental. High-rise buildings are very rare here, or it should be said that in the economically backward Alola region, high-rise buildings themselves are very rare.

"The monster you are talking about is..."

As they gradually approached the city, Qiao Ran and his group saw destroyed houses and a series of ruins. In the center of a piece of ruins, the ground looked like a piece had been eaten away, leaving a large hole.

The big hole continued to extend into the distance, as if a long tunnel had been dug.

"Follow this thing, we will definitely find it."

Acerola already had some experience. This thing was exactly the trace left by the monster. That thing would devour everything around it by any means. Even when walking, it would chew and eat the ground.

"This really is...hungry enough to eat anything."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but sigh. Being able to eat the ground like this was not a question of whether his teeth were good or not, but rather whether he could really eat this thing?

"Everyone is ready."

When arriving in this area, the opponent may appear at any time, so it is very necessary to be vigilant. However, the only good news is that perhaps because this Ultra Beast is too terrifying, they did not encounter any interference from other Ultra Beasts along the way. This is good news.

Chapter 491 [Raid]

Although the quiet city of Malie does not have any modern industries or tall buildings, the natural scenery here is still very attractive.

Many wealthy people in the Johto area choose to build holiday villas here. In the center of the city, there is a golden ancient tower and a courtyard that is very Johto-style. It is said that it was built under the guidance of some people from the Johto area in ancient times.

However, these were the scenery of the former Malie City. The current Malie City is only a piece of ruins, and the remains that have been eaten by the Ultra Beasts are everywhere. The originally beautiful Alola city has become a dinner plate for the Ultra Beasts. Because they are afraid of the terrible monsters here, the former Acerola people did not even think of coming to explore.

"..."

Following the passage gnawed out by the Evil Food King, Qiao Ran gradually began to hear rumbling sounds in his ears, accompanied by the crackling sound of stones breaking. Qiao Ran had never heard such sounds before, but in connection with everything that happened here, the imagined picture appeared in his mind.

Really... are you eating dirt?

"..."

He closed his eyes slightly and used the power of the waveguide to explore forward. Within a few hundred meters around him, he did not find any breath of any living creature, not even the ultimate beast.

I'm afraid they were all scared away by that monster.

"We're almost there," Acerola whispered, as several ghost Pokémon gathered closer and closer to her.

Qiao Ran and the others looked at each other and exchanged their ideas.

"When we first met, it was our chance."

Qiao Ran can use his abilities to communicate with Lillie and the others, but when talking to Acerola and the others, Qiao Ran still has to speak clearly.

If the Evil Food King is really as powerful as Aserola said, then their first wave of attack when they first meet may be the most critical.

"As soon as you see it, attack it with your counter Pokémon."

"Do not hesitate."

Qiao Ran reminded that this time he, Lillie, Mei and a few others would not be the only ones participating in the battle. The connection between them made them closely connected enough, but Azera La Guzma and the others were not something Qiao Ran could pay attention to.

At times like this, they can only rely on their own abilities.

As they moved forward along the gully where they had been gnawing, the sounds in their ears grew louder and louder, and they saw a figure on the distant horizon, just as Acerola had described.

Black body with golden stripes.

However - compared to what Acerola said, that it was only two or three stories tall, the current Evil Food King looked at least ten meters tall, and his bulging body looked full of oppression.

In the middle of the giant body that is more than ten meters high, which is the "belly" of other creatures, there is an extremely huge bloody mouth. It is like a black hole inside, and it is unknown where it is connected to. In the huge mouth, there are two pincers like small mouths extending out.

Of course - the mouth looks small here, but it is only compared with its own height. If it is compared with the height of a human, then this "small mouth" like a black snake can swallow several humans in one bite.

"..."
