Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Sign...Okay."

Qiao Ran didn't refuse and directly took the paper and pen and signed his name, which was neither good-looking nor ugly. He didn't have much time to practice his signature, so he just wrote it like this.

Anyway, he doesn't think he is a big star, just an ordinary trainer.

"And that video! Who is that singing sister? Can you tell me who she is? Why can't I find her anywhere?"

The two sisters, who looked like they were only in junior high school, excitedly took Qiao Ran's autograph and curiously asked about the "singing sister" who appeared in Qiao Ran's previous video.

"She...you'll find out after watching the next video. Anyway, it will definitely explain who she is."

Qiao Ran burst out laughing. Wow, this question has even reached the third dimension?

"Next video? Okay, remember to update it quickly!"

“We will recommend it to our classmates.”

The two sisters who were in a hurry to go to make up classes did not stay here for long. They just said a few words, got the autograph, waved happily to Qiao Ran, and left.

“…”Qiao Ran also waved goodbye to them.

Along the way, things like this happened many times. After he became a little famous, Qiao Ran almost got used to this kind of life.

"My ability to adapt... seems to be quite strong."

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

Time quickly came to a day later.

Having made her farewells, Acerola has packed up everything. Today's breakfast at the Aether House is the last one she will be in charge of.

The atmosphere of farewell is always very sad. Even if no one speaks in the middle, Qiao Ran can still feel the depressing atmosphere.

"Everyone, there's no need to be so sad."

Acerola knew that even if he left, Uncle Modan and Aunt Lusamine would definitely fulfill their duties. They were both very capable adults and would definitely do better than him in every aspect.

The children tried hard to hold back their tears, and some of them took out the souvenirs they had made overnight and handed them to Acerola.

"My brothers and sisters will definitely become heroes."

The children held hands and looked at the people who were about to leave.

They are all orphans without any relatives, but here, they are like a family.

Even though the time I spent with Qiao Ran and the others was not very long, this time was still precious.

"We will all be waiting for you here... You must come back."

Chapter 521 [Huiclani Observatory]

"Where are you going first?"

After bidding farewell to the House of Ether, Acerola officially joined the team of Qiao Ran and others. This powerful expert with ghost attributes can provide tremendous help in various aspects. The most important thing is that her cheerful and lovely personality also brought a relaxed and happy atmosphere to Qiao Ran and others.

"I think... it's best for us not to leave this island yet. Or rather, there's one place we need to visit before leaving this island."

Acerola raised his head and

The finger pointed somewhere in the distance.

Following the direction of her finger, Miyue immediately understood what she meant.

"You mean... the Huikalani Observatory on Mount Huikalani?"

"Yes, there's the most advanced observation equipment in the Alola region, capable of easily monitoring the entire region. They also have satellite data, which might even reveal information about other regions. Furthermore, due to the sudden appearance of Ultra Beasts, the people living up there must have been without supplies brought down from the mountain for quite some time."

"If possible... I hope to bring them all down."

Acerola said so.

It is definitely impossible to say that they are not worried. After all, they are all compatriots living in Alola. They and the people in Po Town can still survive by relying on the stored things. Now that the Evil Food King has been eliminated, the situation is getting better and better, but those people on the mountain... really have no help at all.

"Observe the entire Alola region... and perhaps information about other regions..."

Qiao Ran touched his chin. Indeed, they were now completely in the dark. If they rashly went to other islands, they would not know the specific situation there. Moreover, the information about other areas - this reason alone was tempting enough.

"Well, our next target will be right there."

Since it is an observatory, there must be satellite observation images. This information will definitely be of great help in understanding everything that happens in the Pokémon world. After all, some things will probably never be seen if observed from the ground.

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Yes."

The girls all agreed, especially Mei. She had longed for her hometown, and gaining information from it would be fantastic. Even without information from other regions, the ability to observe all of Alola was compelling enough.

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

If you want to climb Mount Huikalani from the location of the Ether House, you must head towards the other side opposite to Po Town. There, there may not be so many signs of human habitation, and the natural scenery is very primitive everywhere.

Moreover, the number of ultimate beasts has obviously increased along the way. After all, neither the people in Po Town nor they themselves have ever been to this area.

"Acerola, stand closer to me. This is your first time fighting with us, so you still need to get used to it."

"Good... good!"

Although Acerola's strength is not weak, but in the team of Qiao Ran and others, it is only slightly better than Lillie. If the degree of adaptation and cooperation is taken into account, its performance may be even worse than Lillie.

But this is not a reason to blame her, Qiao Ran also knows that no matter what the matter is, it requires gradual practice.

Gradually, Aserola seemed to realize that the "consciousness" between them could be transmitted to each other, as if something was connecting their feelings, especially Qiao Ran's "feelings", which could be transmitted to her heart extremely clearly.

So... that's how it is.

No wonder she always felt that there was something mysterious between Qiao Ran and the others. Now it seems that they were probably using this feeling to communicate with each other.

Moreover, if this ability is used in battle, it can undoubtedly become a "killer weapon". When hunting the Evil Food King before, she was shocked by the cooperation of Qiao Ran and others. This is probably due to this special ability.

As they moved forward, the sky gradually darkened. It was not an easy task to reach the top of the mountain in one go. Qiao Ran did not have such a naive idea of ​​"reaching the top of the mountain in one day". In fact, after they walked for several hours, it seemed that they had not even reached the foot of the mountain.

"Let's go back and rest today. We'll make time to come here every day to catch up."

Night is about to fall, and everyone must leave this dangerous area. Not only that, today is the first time that Aserola has come to the real world with them, so they have to set aside some time to take her for a walk.

——Although it was just a stroll, it was just a walk around the neighborhood. After running around in Alola for a whole day, no one had the energy to move on.

"So, this is another new girl you kidnapped?"

"I haven't seen you do anything else, but you're quite good at kidnapping people."

"Captains of the Alola region... I've heard about what's going on there. The Alliance has indeed decided to establish a Pokémon League in Alola. At that time, all captains will directly take over the positions of Gym Leaders."

Acerola: "Ahahahahahaha."

Seeing Qiao Ran bringing back another person, Naz instantly turned on her sharp tongue mode. However, she quickly arranged accommodation for Acerola. It happened that Zhulan left a bed behind after she left, which was just enough for Acerola to stay.

"By the way, have you decided on your next destination? You're leaving soon, right?"

Nazi suddenly asked Qiao Ran

Recent decisions.

"Yes." Qiao Ran nodded. Things in Alola can be carried out simultaneously, and the journey here also needs to be rushed. As a mature trainer, of course it would be best if I had them all.

"Then take a look at this. Maybe it'll interest you."

"what?"

As Nazhi spoke, she handed a flyer to Qiao Ran's hand, as if she was just throwing out some careless note.

Qiao Ran took the flyer and then saw clearly what was written on it.

"The first battle train departs from Shanghai to Rongcheng. We're looking for three trainers to livestream and promote the experience."

"The first place winner...will receive a mysterious grand prize!"

Chapter 522 [Battle against the Train]

"Battle train?"

On the flyer, a novel term immediately caught Qiao Ran's attention. Even Mei, who was sitting next to him and chatting with Acerola, couldn't help but come over when she heard the word.

"Battle against the subway?"

In the city of Raven in the Unova region, there is an event called "Battle Subway", and the event is organized by the official organization of "Raven City", a transportation hub and the largest city in the Unova region.

Trainers will fight while riding the train. Only after passing the previous car can they go to the next car to challenge stronger opponents.

"It's not a subway battle, it seems to be some kind of special Pokémon battle... The purpose seems to be to promote high-speed trains or something. It's a battle variant with certain rules. However, looking at the rules, it does look very similar to the subway battles in the Unova region. I wonder if someone from the Unova region created this."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but complain.

As a native of this world, Qiao Ran had heard of this thing, but he had only heard of it before. He heard that it was a new form of entertainment that would be broadcast live online, attracting many people to watch.

"The organizers of this event have a partnership with the Magic City Gym, so we can help recommend some suitable trainers. It seems a new route just opened recently, so we're thinking of recruiting a few trainers to promote it."

Nancy shook her head slightly. Normally, she would not handle such matters personally, but would leave it to other gym trainers. However, when she saw the information above, she couldn't help but think of Qiao Ran and the others.

If it were them, they might be interested in this thing.

"How's it going? If you participate, you'll get a promotion fee, and if you pass, you'll get a prize. Plus, if you take their bus, the fare is free."

Nazi felt that this was an irresistible proposal. In fact, after hearing what she said, Qiao Ran and others were indeed moved.

"But it's also written on this event that only three people can participate, right? Then us..."

Qiao Ran looked at the girls around him. There were more than three of them, including Lillie, Mei, Mitsuki, and Acerola.

"Why don't you just pick three people to participate? There won't be any problem for the rest of you to just take the train, right?"

"Um……"

Qiao Ran nodded slightly. This was indeed a good solution.

However, apart from him, the others are all trainers who love fighting, so I am afraid that the competition for this spot will become very fierce.

"If you guys have decided, I'll contact the people over there. As a gym leader, my recommendations are still very useful."

The corners of Nazhi's mouth were slightly raised, and she seemed a little proud.

In addition to "assisting" as a friend, Naz actually has her own considerations.

If Qiao Ran and the others really participated in this event, it would basically confirm their connection with the Magic City Gym. If they become famous in the future, she would also be able to get some hidden benefits.

——Although many people on the Internet are now spreading rumors about their private relationship, no matter how tight her management is, it will leak out sooner or later. Those people on the Internet are even spreading rumors that she and Qiao Ran are underground lovers, and are even secretly living together.

Of course, this is only a small number of people. As long as there is no clear evidence, Naz generally ignores it.

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

The battle train was scheduled to depart in two days, so they took advantage of their free time to take Acerola for a stroll around the Magic City.

"The other world is amazing!"

Acerola seemed to be entering the city for the first time and showed considerable enthusiasm while strolling around. However, this was also related to the local situation in Alola. The Alola region was considered a relatively remote and backward area in the Pokémon world. Except for the Ether Foundation which came from other places, many of the facilities here were at a very basic level.

This is also why the local doctor wants to build an "Alliance" in Alola. Everything is to drive this place towards a more prosperous direction.

"...It's my first time here, so of course I have to buy some new clothes."

Lillie had long been dissatisfied with Acerola's distinctive patched dress, and this time she was determined to tidy up Acerola's clothes.

Although this

The clothes do give off the vibe of ghost-type experts, but their next identities are just ordinary trainers, so it’s better for them to dress normally.

"That's pretty good, isn't it? It's so cute..."

"Really...really?"

After being half-coaxed and half-tricked into changing into a light pink dress, Acerola's face turned red. However, when she turned to look at Qiao Ran and found that he was trying hard to hold back his laughter, she changed her clothes back.

"I...I won't wear this!"

Sure enough, a slightly "deeper" color is more suitable for me.

The fun time did not last too long. During this time, they also decided on the people who would participate in the high-speed train activities that day.

——Qiao Ran, Mei Yi, Mei Yue.

As for Lillie and Acerola, one of them declined due to her low level, while the other declined because she didn't know much about this world. As for Mei and Mitsuki, they would definitely participate in any competition they could.

The live broadcast program team has also started warming up. In addition to Miyue, Qiao Ran and Mei are both trainers who have attracted much attention recently. However, the last time Mei appeared in the public eye, her level had not yet broken through to the level of a superstar. I believe that this time, she will definitely bring more surprises to others.

Of course, in addition to these, mountaineering in the Alola region is still ongoing. Because the ground facilities have been cut off by the Ultra Beasts, Qiao Ran and his group can only climb the second highest mountain in Alola by walking. The difficulty of this has obviously exceeded the limit of what they can bear now.

"I'm so...tired. I don't know how long it will take to get there."
