Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"That thing is...?" After hearing Meiyue's sudden words, a question mark popped up in Qiao Ran's head. What was that thing?

No, we haven't said anything weird before, right?

"Of course it's the frontier! The frontier!"

Meiyue rolled her eyes at Qiao Ran. Since Acerola had officially joined the group, wasn't it about time she was told these things?

"Ohhh, indeed."

After Meiyue's reminder, Qiao Ran also reacted.

"Going to the frontier will also speed up my recovery, so why not go there together now?"

“I can also introduce some other

Let me introduce you to Pokémon."

Acerola: “?”

This time it was Acerola's turn to have a question mark pop up in his head.

Frontier?

What is that place?

And... I have to take her there... It's so late now, where can we go?

"I……"

Acerola opened her mouth slightly and was about to say something, but at this moment, she saw a scene that surprised her greatly.

Beside Qiao Ran, a clear portal was rapidly expanding. Through the gap in it, she actually saw another completely different picture.

Could it be that... that is another world?

Chapter 515 [Pokémon]

"This place... is that the other world you mentioned that's very similar to the Pokémon world?"

Being supported by Mitsuki as they stepped through the portal, Acerola looked at the night scene that appeared before him and couldn't help but ask a question.

In the dim light, she saw lush meadows and forests, as well as the quietly flowing river. Although everything was very peaceful and beautiful, she still subconsciously felt a strange sense of incongruity. Even though she couldn't explain it clearly, the feeling still existed vaguely.

"No, this is the frontier. It's kind of... well, a world that's still growing."

Qiao Ran didn't know how to describe this place, but he had indeed watched it grow gradually, from nothing at the beginning to the prototype of a world now. There would be new changes here every day, thanks to the Pokémon living here.

Especially his partners who fought with him, they made a lot of contributions here.

"So, this isn't a different world?" Acerola tilted his head.

"No, if you want to say it is another world, it can probably be considered a different world?" Qiao Ran thought about it and gave this definition. In fact, even he was not clear about the specific location of the frontier. Is this an area in a certain world, or is it a real small world that has not yet fully grown?

He didn't have any answer to this question, but based on the differences between here and the Pokémon world and the real world, the only thing that was certain was that this place was definitely different from those two worlds.

"So this is also a different world?"

Acerola nodded blankly. After being confused back and forth several times, she felt a little dizzy.

"So where exactly is this place..."

"Don't worry, we'll take you around and you'll know."

Miyue reminded her not to be anxious, but if she walked slowly in this world, it would actually take quite a while, and tonight, she probably wouldn't be able to see too many places.

If it is daytime, Pokémon will be active outside, but at night, everyone will go back to their own nests and lie down. If you don’t look for them specifically, it is impossible to call them out.

"Then I'll go back and rest."

Xuwuyide's body floated in the air. He hooked his hands around Qiao Ran's neck and, while no one else was paying attention, gently kissed Qiao Ran on the cheek.

"No no no!"

Even Qiao Ran himself was startled by her sudden action, and Liliae covered her cheeks with her hands, her face slightly flushed.

No... isn't that right?

Even if it's a Pokémon, it shouldn't do such shameless things in front of so many people!

Moreover, Xuwuide's appearance was too similar to hers. Watching his actions, Lillie always felt like she was hallucinating herself, as if she were...

"Hehe." Before leaving, Xuwuyide deliberately glanced at Lillie, which made Lillie's heart jump even more.

"If you want to come visit us later, I'd also welcome you~"

After saying this, Xuwuid flew out of everyone's sight and returned to their cave with the Xuwuid that had previously parasitized Acerola.

"It's really...it's a Pokémon."

Looking at Xuwuide's figure floating in the air, Aserola became more and more certain of this.

If it were a human, they wouldn't be able to do this, right? They wouldn't be able to do this, right?

"It's about time we go look somewhere else."

Qiao Ran continued speaking along the lines of what Acerola said, and changed the subject.

"First of all, I would still recommend..."

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

Qiao Ran and others first arrived at Diancie's cave.

Choosing this place as the first stop was not just out of Qiao Ran's own selfishness, but also because this place is indeed the place that best represents the characteristics of the frontier.

Diancie and Vulpix really put a lot of thought into their own homes. Compared to other Pokémon who are "careless", their "style" is indeed different.

Aserola looked around curiously. Although this was a cave, there were a lot of pink gem ornaments. It looked like he was in another magical world.

Some pink ornaments are mixed with blue crystals.

The unique structures constructed, especially the two-color flowers blooming on the lights, gave her a sense of absurdity that "such things should not appear in the real world."

"Owner?"

When Qiao Ran stepped into the cave, Vulpix and Diancie had already sensed his arrival.

"Who is this?"

Looking at the petite figure that appeared beside Qiao Ran, Diancie thought for a moment and soon remembered the other person's identity.

"Ah... the trainer who fought against that Ghoul King with us during the last battle?"

"You are...? Do you know me?"

Acerola found it very strange. The two girls in front of him were both very cute. One had long purple hair and looked gentle and confident, while the other had long snow-white hair and looked natural and a little shy.

If she had seen such a beautiful and lovely child, it would be impossible for her to forget him, right?

"Of course I have."

Diancie smiled and nodded, then slightly opened her palm. A pink diamond gradually took shape in her hand and slowly rotated.

On the other side, Vulpix also demonstrated her abilities. Icy air spread from her hands. As she used her strength, two small fox ears emerged from her head, and six white tails appeared behind her, swaying gently.

Although human-shaped Pokémon can hide some of their own characteristics, as they use their power, they will become closer to their original form. Generally speaking, legendary Pokémon have better control over their power than ordinary Pokémon, and for Pokémon like Vulpix, it is really difficult to hide its six big tails.

"You are……"

At this point, it was impossible for Acerola not to recognize him. She still knew something about the composition of Qiao Ran's team.

But - even after realizing this, she still couldn't help but feel shocked and confused in her heart.

Pokémon...really turned into humans.

"Dianci? Vulpix?"

"Ah."

Hearing Acerola's cautious question, Diancie and Vulpix smiled and nodded, admitting their identities.

"Welcome, Miss Acerola."

"Since we are all the master's Pokémon, we will all be companions from now on."

Chapter 516 [Who is it]

After introducing themselves to each other, everyone understood each other's identities. Acerola also took a step forward curiously and tentatively touched the tail behind Vulpix that came out from under her skirt.

"This...this tail is actually real."

It was the first time she saw something like this growing on a human body. No, this couldn't be a human, right?

It still felt furry to the touch, just like the ones on Pokémon, but when the animal ears and tail were on Vulpix, it made her look a lot cuter than usual.

"I didn't see this when I just came in. Can these things actually be controlled?"

"Hmm..." Vulpix nodded. Perhaps because her tail was being controlled by someone, her expression looked a little strange.

"If the master needs me... I can also become what I am now."

"need?"

Acerola blinked in confusion.

Could this look have any other purpose?

"..."

Acerola's face was full of question marks, while Vulpix remained silent and did not answer, but his face was slightly flushed.

"Okay...okay, stop rubbing it."

Vulpix interrupted Acerola from playing with his tail and changed the subject. They didn't come here tonight to do this kind of thing, right?

"Sorry sorry."

After seeing the size of Vulpix, Acerola realized that she was a little rude and quickly let go of her hand - she was so shocked by the various facts that she obviously didn't know what she was doing.

"Let me introduce our design concept here."

Diancie on the side smiled and continued to change the subject. She still had a say in the design of the gemstone crafts here.

"If possible, we can also make you a small gift later."

"Eh? Is it really okay?"

Hearing this, Acerola's eyes lit up.

Everyone loves beauty, and even she would be attracted by beautiful things, especially such beautiful jewel jewelry. Can she really own it for free?

————————————————————————————————————

The small cave of Diancie and Vulpix was just the first stop. Next, Qiao Ran took her to see different Pokémon. However, due to the night time, they could only see a part of the Pokémon.

By the way, with the "slow healing" effect of the frontier, Acerola's body felt a little better. Although he was still a little tired, it was obviously much better than his previous state where he needed support.

"real

Well, after Pokémon transformed into humans, it felt like everyone was actually the same.”

Back in the Aether House in the Pokémon world, Acerola was still staring at the pink hairpin in her hand in a daze. Diancie's mastery of these things was indeed perfect. With her ability, it should not be a problem to produce a large amount of them.

However, Qiao Ran and Diancie themselves did not seem to have such an idea. Even if they had such ability, they would only regard it as a gift between friends.

"If only my Pokémon could..."

"Right, it would be nice if our Pokémon could do the same."

Before Acerola could finish his sigh, Mitsuki and Mei came up to him with the same feeling. Every time they saw Qiao Ran's Pokémon in the frontier, this idea would become stronger. Sure enough - every trainer would have the same idea after knowing this.

"I'm sure you think so too, Liliae."

"Hmm...hmm."

Lillie simply nodded blankly. She had certainly supported the previous statement. If Little Xingyun and Attribute Sora could also transform into humans, they would definitely become even closer. However, after seeing Xuwu Yide's actions tonight, she seemed to realize something.

It seems... something is not right?

"Okay, let's stop here for tonight and let Acerola go back and rest early."

Qiao Ran interrupted everyone's chat. Although he understood the excitement of having a new companion, there were other things to deal with tomorrow. Acerola was still a little weak, so going to bed early and resting was the right choice.

"Ah."

Everyone nodded in understanding. It was obviously getting late.

"I'll say goodbye to everyone properly tomorrow."
