Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

At least - even if you stand at the door like this, those ultimate beasts will not easily attack you.

"How long do you think it will take for me to come back?"

Acerola looked at the sky and asked Qiao Ran.

"I don't know. Maybe we can solve the problem of the Pokémon world tomorrow... or maybe we can't solve it for decades."

Qiao Ran had no answer for her, but when Acerola asked this question, she didn't need an answer. She just wanted to express her inner thoughts.

"I hope I can get better soon... There's also the Pokémon World in the Alola region. Once everything gets better, I'll come back here and consider joining the Alola Alliance as one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

Acerola chuckled.

"The Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Yes, Qiao Ran, you may not know this, but just before all this happened, the famous Professor Kukui from Alola also came to see Uncle Modan and invited him to join the Pokémon League that was being built and become one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

As Aserola spoke, he looked towards the mountains in the distance.

That is the highest peak of Ula'ula Island and also the highest peak of Alola. The Alola Alliance, which has not yet been officially put into use, is being built there.

"But Uncle Mo Dan wasn't interested, so he recommended me to do it."

"Then you are the most powerful among us. None of us have any Pokémon League status."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but tease her, and Acerola couldn't help laughing and patted his chest.

"If you guys want to come, I can recommend you. I'm the captain of the Alola region."

Everything will definitely get better and better.

Chapter 519 [She is]

After explaining to everyone that he was leaving, Acerola began to pack his luggage and explained what to do next.

However, thanks to the existence of the frontier, they don't actually need to carry luggage and other things with them. They just need to pack up and move into the frontier.

"What do we do now?"

Acerola still had to pack up, so it was not convenient to help at this time. Mei and Miyue had nothing else to do, so they asked Qiao Ran about his plans for the day.

"Why don't we go back to the Magic City Gym? Nancy just became the gym leader, so she must need help somewhere."

Mei expressed her idea of ​​going to the Magic City Gym to have a look. Maybe she could even meet the Gym Challenger and play a few games there.

"Yeah!"

Mitsuki nodded in agreement, and the two looked at each other, probably having the same idea.

Trainers just can't be idle. Even if they just relax for a day, they are already thinking about competitions and training.

"I...I want to go too."

Seeing her companions working so hard, Lillie couldn't fall behind. She clenched her fists and burst into energy.

"Okay, let's go find Naz today."

Based on the principle of minority obeying the majority, Qiao Ran almost knew what they were thinking. For him, it didn't matter where he went. If he didn't go to the Magic City, he would probably just wander around the frontier or Galar to meet Pokémon and Marie and the others.

Miyue's sudden departure actually made him feel a little sorry for Mari and Youli, so if possible, Qiao Ran would like to help them more when he has free time.

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

In the real world, the Magic City Gym.

"You are finally here."

During the break, when she saw Qiao Ran and others, Nazhi started to say these words to them.

"Tell me, who is that girl? Is she from the Pokémon world?"

She took out her cell phone and waved it in front of Qiao Ran.

On her phone, there was a video of the Bluebird singing on the Chinese Valentine's Day. The number of views and comments on it had reached a very scary number.

"this is……"

Qiao Ran took a look and was shocked by the barrage of comments that filled the screen. Could this... actually be so popular?

"..."

"...This song is from the Pokémon world, right? Zhulan called me yesterday and asked about it. She also wanted to know the other person's identity."

Nazhi didn't want Qiao Ran to get away with it like this. She had to give her an explanation today about the other party's identity.

"She's... okay."

Qiao Ran looked at the girls around him and motioned for Nazhi to find a more secluded place to talk.

The identity of the Qixi Bluebird is actually not a secret that cannot be told. However, in order to avoid trouble, Qiao Ran will only tell this secret to people who can keep it confidential and are close enough to him.

"Go ahead."

Nazi also understood Qiao Ran's actions. After coming to a small room and closing the door, she clasped her hands and looked at Qiao Ran.

"...She's so mysterious. Who is she?"

"Let her talk to you herself."

Qiao Ran took out a Poké Ball, and after a flash of light passed by his side, the Qixi Bluebird with cloud-like wings appeared beside him.

Released via Poké Ball

At this time, Pokémon will usually be restored to its original Pokémon state. However, looking at the Tanabata Bluebird that appeared next to Qiao Ran, a question mark appeared on Nancy's head.

Nancy: “?”

"I'm talking about the girl, not Bao..."

However—just when she was halfway through her words, she suddenly lost her words and her eyes widened.

"..."

——An unbelievable scene happened in front of her.

Light once again emanated from the body of the Qixi bluebird, and that light gradually condensed into the shape of a human.

"This...this..."

Nazi was stunned. How could this be possible? How could such a ridiculous thing happen in the world?

Until the light gradually condensed and a girl with long blue hair really appeared in front of her, she was still shocked.

"She... is..."

"Yes, it's her."

Qiao Ran patted Qixi Qingniao's shoulder and asked her to stand in front of Nazhi.

"If you must say, she's not really from the Pokémon world."

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

"Wait, let me slow down a bit."

Although she saw it all with her own eyes, Naz still felt that it was unreal.

Even as a person with super powers, she began to wonder if she was hallucinating.

Nancy sat on the chair and called her assistant directly, temporarily suspending her work as the gym leader.

"Are you really a Pokémon?"

"Yes."

Tanabata Bluebird nodded, and she spread out her arms, and marshmallow-like clouds emerged from her sleeves. The humanized Pokémon can recover some of their original characteristics. As more characteristics are recovered, their combat power will gradually approach that of the Pokémon form.

"This... is true."

Touching the soft white marshmallow with her hand, Nazhi also felt the special touch. This was not "marshmallow" or "cloud", but the unique feathers of the Qixi Bluebird. That kind of touch could never be faked.

Not to mention, the forgery was done in front of her, a master of super powers.

"..."

Nancy closed her eyes again and took several deep breaths.

How could such a ridiculous and unreasonable thing happen?

"So, when we first met, that girl was actually a Pokémon too?"

Nazhi thought of the girl whom she had only met once before, but whose superpowers subtly suppressed her. She had wanted to meet her before, but Qiao Ran had always put her off with various excuses.

That guy...could he also be a Pokémon?

"Yes." Qiao Ran nodded.

"She's Latias."

Nancy's eyes widened again: "????"

So I was...competing with a legendary Pokémon in psychic abilities???

The series of shocks made her not know what to say. The only word left in her mind was "outrageous".

"Does Zhulan know about this?"

"She doesn't know yet. I haven't told her yet... I'll contact her later." Qiao Ran shook his head.

"Yeah."

After hearing Qiao Ran's answer, Nazhi's mood improved a little, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"She doesn't even know about it."

Chapter 520 [New Beginning]

Thinking of Zhulan's attitude when she talked to her before about Qiao Ran, after learning that the other party didn't know either, Nazhi's original anger towards Qiao Ran for concealing these things and deceiving her was reduced a lot.

After explaining to Nazhi, Qiao Ran and others also called Zhulan and explained the identity of Qixi Bluebird.

"So... the person singing that song is actually a Pokémon."

When hearing this fact, Zhulan was also stunned for a moment. The stronger the trainer is and the longer he has been with Pokémon, the more unbelievable this fact would be.

The worldview they constructed not only has a solid foundation, but also has its own understanding. Who would have known that it would be shattered at this time, and new settings such as "Pokémon can turn into humans" were added, which simply broke common sense.

"But being able to become a human... is really amazing."

After slowly accepting this fact, Zhulan still couldn't help but sigh.

"In the Sinnoh region, there exists a power called the Super Power. If you can truly explain its function, it's actually a power that allows for spiritual communication with the three legendary gods. But if Pokémon could transform into human form, then that would mean everyone could possess the Super Power."

"Of course, if humans turned into Pokémon, perhaps the same effect could be achieved?"

The humanization of Pokémon is a big step in the communication between humans and Pokémon, especially when these Pokémon themselves can understand Pokémon language, they can act as a bridge between humans and Pokémon.

In fact, Qixi Bluebird really thought so.

"My song... how could so many people be paying attention to it? There are even a bunch of people asking about my name..."

Seeing the display on Qiao Ran's phone

When she saw the number of plays and the barrage of comments filling the screen, Qixi Qingniao herself was shocked. Actually... there are so many people who like her singing?

"That's why there are so many people. Because you sing so well."

Qiao Ran logged into his backend by the way. Wow, as soon as he entered, he saw a dense pile of private messages asking about the identity of Qixi Blue Bird. Some people even threatened to unfollow him. He just hoped that the administrator of this account could come forward and answer this question.

——It was just like someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy. Qiao Ran was just thinking about the theme of his next video. If he followed this idea, he would be able to casually post another one later.

——————————————————————————————————

As mentioned before, Lillie and the others stayed in the gym to help Nancy. However, due to the mismatch in the attributes of their Pokémon, they could not take over Nancy's challenge. However, the function of a gym is not just to accept challenges.

Training some trainers, such as sparring partners, and even training middle and high school students - the gym will also carry out such business at the same time, which is also a very important source of income. After all, the revenue of a gym cannot rely solely on ticket sales.

As for Qiao Ran, he slipped out alone. This was probably a very rare time for him to be alone.

"Go to a new city, challenge the next gym, and then visit other islands in Alola... Oh, there are so many things to do in the future."

Although it is a bit tiring to think about it, at least he now has a clear goal, and his companions will accompany him.

"Qiao Ran? You are Qiao Ran, right?"

"Um, um...can you sign an autograph for me?"

Walking out of the Magic City Gym, Qiao Ran met many students who came to the gym for extra lessons. Most of these people recognized Qiao Ran's identity - this rising star trainer who suddenly emerged on the Internet has been quite popular recently.
