Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Lila's voice rang out, and a shadow ball condensed in front of the Dream Demon. Although it was the same attack move as before, it was obvious this time that the power of the shadow ball had increased a lot.

"Diancie!"

The opponent's attack seemed to have no intention of stopping, but Diancie had no intention of retreating at this moment.

"—!"

When the two people's hearts become one, Diancie's movements will also incorporate Qiao Ran's sword-wielding habits.

After meeting Cang Xiang, Qiao Ran also learned some sword-wielding techniques from him.

Just some common techniques can sometimes achieve very good results.

Facing the oncoming shadow ball, Qiao Ran raised his hand slightly, making the sword blade move at a very tricky angle. The shadow ball that flew towards Diancie, after rubbing against the sword blade for a while, actually slipped on the sword blade and directly deviated from its original trajectory.

"what?"

Lila was startled by the other party's action. Is this... some kind of skill?

No... that's not right. This isn't a skill? It's just some special technique.

But now, she didn't have time to think about these things. The shadow ball had been deflected and was flying straight towards the walls on both sides of the carriage. If it really hit them, not to mention whether it would cause any problems to the carriage itself, just based on the power alone, she would basically be declared the loser!

However, she did not lack a backup plan.

"Dream Demon!"

The Dream Demon's body trembled slightly, and the shadow ball seemed to be controlled by something and dissipated directly into the air - only a small wisp of gas-like energy flew towards the Dream Demon and merged into its body.

So... it can be controlled?

And from the looks of it, it seems like some special method was used?

Qiao Ran nodded in understanding. No wonder Lila dared to use such great strength to release this skill. If it were an ordinary trainer, he would probably have to consider whether the train would be blown up directly.

"But! It's too late!"

While the Dream Demon was controlling the shadow ball, Diancie rushed directly in front of the Dream Demon and swung the sword in her hand at it.

"Using physical attacks on ghost-type Pokémon isn't very effective."

However, Lila was not too surprised by this attack. In fact, if it was just a pure physical attack, it could be roughly classified as a "normal" attribute move, and the "normal" attribute had no way of causing any damage to ghost-type Pokémon.

however--

"Who said we used physical attacks?"

A smile appeared on the faces of Qiao Ran and Diancie.

"What?" As Lila looked surprised, the sword in Diancie's hand suddenly shattered and turned into a violent whirlwind that enveloped the Dream Demon and Diancie.

"This is actually Diamond Storm!"

Chapter 535 [Winner]

The shattered blades transformed into a storm, enveloping the two Pokémon.

"What a powerful attack!"

"...Qiao Ran's counterattack. The effect of this attack is—"

As the storm raged, the hosts and judges in car No. 0 also transformed into the atmosphere group and analyzed the current battle situation.

"Well done."

Looking at the storm in the carriage, Lila knew that she had no room for resistance this time. After the previous battle, the Dream Demon, who had taken Diancie's entire combo, was already in danger of physical danger.

Just as she thought, when the storm gradually dissipated and the Dream Demon appeared again, its state was much more miserable than that of Diancie on the opposite side, who was still shining like a Valkyrie.

Diancie's Little Hand

With a stretch of her hand, the scattered gem fragments gathered together again and turned into a seamless sword blade in her hand.

Diancie has reached a very high level in controlling diamonds. Just a small movement is not only extremely neat and tidy, but also can make people feel "beauty".

"It's over!"

Taking advantage of the fact that their opponent was already injured, Qiao Ran and Diancie launched another attack, and it was time to put an end to this battle.

"It's not that easy!"

However, Lila did not give up. As the conductor of this train, she would also fight until the last moment.

————————————————————————————

"The battle is over!!!"

Finally, after both sides suffered some damage, the battle was finally decided. Diancie panted slightly, looking at the dream demon that had fallen to the ground, an excited smile on her face.

"Di——"

In the end, she won the game!

No, this was also created together with the master!

"Congratulations."

Lila on the other side also congratulated Qiao Ran. Being able to defeat her Pokémon was enough to prove Qiao Ran's strength. Moreover, the tacit cooperation and ability to remove debuffs by themselves also opened her eyes.

"As a trainer who can defeat the train conductor, you are eligible to receive the prizes we offer, and most importantly-"

The door behind Lila slowly opened, and through the gap behind the door, Qiao Ran saw another carriage similar to this one.

"bring it on."

Following Lila, Qiao Ran entered the next carriage. In the carriage, several trainers that Qiao Ran had fought before were also present. When they saw Qiao Ran appear, they all stood up and applauded.

"Excellent fight."

"You don't look like this is your first time participating in a train battle... Have you ever participated in something like this before?"

They all smiled and congratulated Qiao Ran. Among people of this age, the boy in front of them was probably the only one who could fight with the train conductor at such a high level.

"Come here." Lila waved to Qiao Ran.

In the center of the room, there is a huge cylinder, and below the cylinder, there is a screen showing the images of Qiao Ran and Diancie, which seems to be taken by a camera above.

"As a souvenir of the winner, you can leave a memento of the two of you here, either signing or leaving your fingerprints."

"I'd better sign it."

Qiao Ran took a photo holding Diancie in his arms, then wrote down his signature which wasn't very pretty. Diancie also wrote her name on the touch screen.

"Even Pokémon can sign autographs?" Lila couldn't help but ask after seeing Diancie's actions.

"She knows a lot."

Qiao Ran didn't know how much Diancie knew, but it must be more than he imagined.

"Hmm..." Although she felt that Qiao Ran's answer was a bit perfunctory, Lila still nodded and pointed at the huge cylinder.

"Your photos will be hanging here forever."

————————————————————————————

After the battle, in addition to some regular content, people from the program team suddenly appeared and held a series of "award ceremonies" for Qiao Ran. At the very end, they did not forget to interview him.

"Excuse me, about the video you posted earlier, about the singing girl..."

"It's almost there, it's almost there. I've already invited her to the next video, and you'll definitely be able to see her more often in the future."

After dealing with the host for a long time, the recording of the program was finally over. Qiao Ran fell on the chair with a tired look on his face. He had played several games and then had to cooperate with the program crew in a battle of wits and courage. He was almost exhausted.

Did Nancy in the past switch back and forth between this identity and that of a gym leader?

How much energy does she have?

Fortunately, after the recording of the program was completed, the train was gradually approaching the end of its journey. With the prize money won from winning the competition this time, Qiao Ran and his friends could live a good life for a long time.

only……

Qiao Ran glanced at Lila beside him, and then looked at the densely packed crowd around him. He wanted to talk to Lila in private, but it looked like there was no chance at all!

Just asking for contact information would be fine too!

"Qiao Ran—Qiao Ran—"

Acerola seemed to have noticed something as well. She put her hands around her mouth and whispered Qiao Ran's name.

"That, that."

"Did you notice anything strange about that guy over there?"

Qiao Ran deliberately bent down slightly to let Acerola get close to his ear. Although Acerola was about the same age as Lily, Amy and the others, her figure... was really no different from that of a child.

"It's a bit strange, but I'm not sure."

"...I should have seen her in Alola." Unlike Qiao Ran who was not sure, Alola seemed to have a clearer memory about this woman...she still remembered what she looked like.

"She seems to be Uncle Mo Dan's colleague, but why didn't she recognize me?"

"…Amnesia?"

"Maybe." Acerola nodded with deep feeling.

Seeing Qiao Ran and Acerola whispering to each other, Mei and the others were attracted over. When did these two sneak together?

"What are you talking about secretly?"

"Shhh."

Acerola looked around carefully. There were so many people on the train and it was hard to hear anyone, so it would be better to speak in a low voice.

"Qiao Ran and I seem to have discovered another person from the Pokémon world."

Chapter 536 [Reason]

"Eh?"

Mei and Mitsuki were surprised. Were there people from the Pokémon world here? Or had they seen some strange video before and discovered people from the Pokémon world somewhere else?

"is that one……"

Acerola leaned close to Mei and the others' ears again and whispered a few words.

After hearing what Acerola said, everyone nodded with a little surprise.

"You mean... Lila?"

Even Mei and Mitsuki could see the last match between Qiao Ran and Lila. They all had admiration for this female trainer who could fight Qiao Ran to a stalemate. However, they didn't expect that she would also be from the Pokémon world.

"Then why don't we just go and talk to her? Since you know her, Acerola, she should know you too, right?"

"No...no." Seeing Mei who was anxiously wanting to run over to say hello, Acerola directly grabbed her.

"She looks like she's lost her memory right now. If I go find her now and tell her about the Pokémon world... she'll definitely find it weird."

"It would be bad if other people were attracted here during this time."

"This...is true."

Mei was slightly stunned. If the other party really lost his memory, then these things would indeed be possible.

If they rashly went to Lila and she didn't believe them, it would be fine. But if she suddenly revealed the matter to someone else, such as the director team members on this train, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble to them.

Especially since this group of people still controls the media channels, if this news spreads due to various accidents...

"Then I think we should not talk about the Pokémon world yet, or at least hint at it. We should slowly get in touch with her and guide her to remember some things. It won't be too late to talk about the Pokémon world then."

Lillie offered her own opinion based on the current situation.

"Ah."

Everyone agreed to this proposal, which was considered a relatively gentle approach, but Qiao Ran...

Several girls looked at Qiao Ran, who had been silent for a long time, and Qiao Ran had no choice but to raise his hand to show that he agreed.

"Don't look at me, just make your own decisions on this matter."

If he were to ask for the other party's contact information, he wouldn't know how to start. It would be better to leave everything to them. However, it seems that the symptoms of these travelers from the Pokémon world are becoming more and more strange. In addition to those who traveled to the wrong time, there are now some who have lost their memory.

God knows what the next one will be like.

"By the way, speaking of people with amnesia... Mei, Lillie, didn't you also add the contact information of Miss Joy, who has lost her memory, when you were in Hangzhou?"

"How is she?"

"It's still the same as before." Faced with Qiao Ran's question, the two girls shook their heads, indicating that they were powerless.
