Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Qiao Ran threw the blame away directly. As natives of Alola, it was very normal for them to know about Kukui.

"Hahaha, that's normal. After all, he's become quite the celebrity these days. He's been running around everywhere preparing for the establishment of the Alola League. I heard the Aether Foundation donated quite a bit, too."

Ma Ruiyin smiled and touched the back of his head, looking happy for his friend, but soon his mood dropped again.

"...Ah, who knew such an accident would happen recently? Otherwise, the Alola League might be about to open by now."

"Yes."

Qiao Ran nodded and couldn't help but add something in his heart.

If the Alola League had opened as scheduled, Mitsuki might have become the first Alola Champion.

As the first newly opened league, the Alola League's gold content is certainly not comparable to other leagues. However, it is still quite difficult to defeat the kings and queens of other islands, as well as Professor Kukui who can compete with champions from other regions.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Anyway, with his strength, there's probably no big problem right now. The key is Guzma... Sigh, I don't know how to meet him."

When old acquaintances meet, sometimes they get awkward, especially when both people have changed a lot. As a scientific researcher, Ma Ruiyin doesn't know how to deal with this problem.

Along the way, Qiao Ran also chatted with him a lot. Qiao Ran felt that it was quite smooth to talk with this kind of science and engineering type trainer.

When they arrived at Po Town, Qiao Ran entered the city wall very smoothly. The skeleton team guarding the gate basically knew what they looked like.

"...Guzma's friends? I see. As for accommodation...it might be a little difficult to arrange, but recently

We are also building a new house, so if they are willing to help, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Burmei, who came out to check the situation, made a judgment quickly. As for Guzma himself, he finally arrived later.

"Hey, Guzma."

Ma Ruiyin took the initiative to greet the other party, but the white-haired Guzma was still the same as before. He snorted coldly and turned away.

"Tsk."

The relationship between the two people might not be easy to handle, but Qiao Ran also knows that Guzma should not be as troublesome as before.

This kind of attitude...should it be considered tsundere now?

"It's almost time for us to go back. You guys should just take care of your own things."

Qiao Ran and others did not plan to stay here for too long. With the strength of Ma Ruiyin and Ma Mane, it was impossible for them to suffer any loss here. With the strength of these two brothers, they could probably take over the entire Po Town without any big problems.

"Well, come on..."

Ma Ruiyin walked straight forward and gave Qiao Ran a hug.

"I hope you have a safe journey."

He felt nothing but gratitude towards the young people who brought them down the mountain. The other researchers also bowed together to express their gratitude to Qiao Ran and others.

"If you need anything in the future, we will do our best to help."

Ma Ruiyin added another sentence, and Mamane on the other side nodded and clenched his fleshy fists.

"come on."

Their journey may stop here, but Qiao Ran and the others... I'm afraid they still have a long way to go.

If possible, he would like to do such a thing, however, he does not have such courage. Moreover, even if he wants to go on a trip, he cannot leave his cousin and these researchers behind.

"..."

but--

These are just excuses after all.

The courage to take the first step may be the most fundamental reason.

"Don't lose to those Ultra Beasts."

All he could do was probably stay here and cheer them on.

"Ah."

Qiao Ran responded, then waved with a smile and prepared to turn around and leave with the other girls.

One problem was solved perfectly, and they also had to solve more in-depth problems.

——As expected, the trainer’s pace cannot be easily stopped.

Chapter 620 [Information]

After leaving Po Town, Qiao Ran and the others began to return along the same route. If they wanted to go to the shrine of the island god on this island, they still had to pass by the House of Ether. If they passed by there, they also had to pass by the small police station in Merdan.

With the help of Aserola, the group quickly found the special small bungalow. If they didn't tell them, no one would know that this was the only police station on Ula'ula Island and the residence of the king of the island.

Fortunately, this place has not been occupied by the ultimate beast, and the house is intact. Apart from looking a little dirty and broken, there is nothing major wrong with it.

"With so many keys, do I have to try them one by one?"

Looking at the bunch of keys that Qiao Ran took out, Acerola couldn't help but ask. Merdan had a lot of things to keep, and sometimes he couldn't even remember which key was which. If Qiao Ran had to try them one by one, it would probably be too troublesome.

However, Qiao Ran just shook his head.

"Need not."

He simply stretched out his hand and placed it on the door of the police station. He closed his eyes and felt the spread of the wave power. It didn't take long before he had outlined the interior of the small cave. No matter how small the depression or the tiny protrusion was, it could not escape the detection of the wave.

As Qiao Ran gradually became familiar with this power, everything began to become clear.

"In that case... then it should be this key."

With the outline of the interior, it was natural to deduce the appropriate key. Qiao Ran found the appropriate key in a short while and opened the door in front of him. As the door opened, a musty smell and dust hit him in the face.

"..."

"Pfft." Miyue, who had escaped the disaster by standing behind him, couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the wave power was so useful, it turned out that such a thing could not be defended against, right?

Qiao Ran was speechless. If it was a large, substantial object, the wave force could indeed detect its shape, but if it was smaller particles like dust, or something with a musty smell, he would be unable to guard against it.

"There's really no way around this."

Qiao Ran asked Shui Jun to wash his face and clean himself up a little. However, what had just happened also sounded a wake-up call for him.

Now it's dust, but what if it's a similar attack in the future - such as hypnotic powder or poisonous gas?

After possessing the power of waves, Qiao Ran did have a strong control over the surrounding environment. However, he trusted this power a little too much. After discovering that there was no danger behind him, he forgot about the potential threats.

Maybe I need to be more careful in the future.

"Sui-kun, come help clean this up."

"Ok."

The maid with purple curly hair nodded respectfully and walked into the room to clean it up with water. Faced with so much dust, her ability was indeed

It is indeed the nemesis of these things.

However, in order to avoid getting the documents or other things inside wet, Suicune also appeared very restrained and professional.

After all, she had done similar things many times.

As Latias's predecessor, Suicune may not be at the top of the pack in combat, but no one can match her in logistics. Whether it's cleaning, washing clothes, or cooking, her abilities are irreplaceable, and other Pokémon can't learn from her even if they want to.

"This place is too messy. Things are just thrown on the ground."

Qiao Ran and others also started searching everywhere in the house, but the process was obviously not smooth. It was obvious that Merdan was not a person who liked to tidy up the room, and all the things were basically arranged in no particular order.

"I didn't expect he used to be an international police officer..."

"Ahaha, maybe it's because the security on our island is so good, so we don't have to manage it so strictly."

Acerola laughed it off for Merdan, although she knew that Merdan was indeed quite lazy in normal times. Maybe he was too tired when he was an international police officer, so now that he retired, he wanted to make up for it quickly?

After a long time, Qiao Ran and others finally found Lila's information in a locked drawer, on which was clearly drawn the icon and badge of the international police.

"Head of the International Police UB Countermeasures Headquarters... Ten years ago, he fell from the Ultra Cave, becoming a Fall capable of attracting Ultra Beasts, and lost all his memories... Ten years have passed..."

When Lila served as the Lord of the Battle Tower, she was probably less than 20 years old and looked about 17 or 18 years old. Ten years later, she might be about the same age as Zhulan is now, or even a little older.

This document basically records most of Lila's work situation, even her height and weight. As for other things, not much is recorded.

What is worth noting is that there are actually a lot of photos included in this information, many of which were taken at different times when Lila was discovered by the international police and joined the international police. During these works, Qiao Ran did not find any suspicious points. They themselves have already thoroughly understood a lot of the investigation materials about the Ultimate Beasts.

However, this information does more than just that.

"Maybe we can use this to help Lila remember something when we get back to the real world."

Qiao Ran carefully put away the information, and then took some things from the police station that looked useful to the frontier. When they passed by the Ether Foundation, they would hand them over to Merdan.

"Ah."

Several girls nodded at the same time, stopped what they were doing in tacit understanding, and left the room one by one. Qiao Ran, who came out last, even locked the door very politely.

It was already late afternoon, and it was obviously unrealistic to go directly to the ancestral hall. Tonight, perhaps we could only spend the night at the House of Ether.

"Let's go back to the real world and see if we can find time to ask Lila out. Let her set a time so we can meet up."

Qiao Ran couldn't wait to use these to awaken Lila's memory. Although the other party had lost her memory so many times and it was unlikely that she knew any information, considering her strength, this would definitely be a very powerful help.

Instead of being a train driver or working for the production team, it would be better to join their mission to save the Pokémon world.

This is really a waste of talent.

Chapter 621 [Equipment]

When we arrived at the Ether House, it was already evening. After finishing some things that needed to be dealt with, everyone decided to stay at the Ether House for one night.

They could go back to the real world at any time, but they didn't have much time to stay in the Aether House. And judging from Lusamine's expression when she saw them again, it seemed that she had something to say.

At least, Qiao Ran and Liliae seemed to see this from her eyes.

Is it because of the problems with the last videos?

In order to let Lusamine have a good impression of Lillie, Qiao Ran deliberately selected some scenes in which Lillie performed very well. These included not only clips of exhibition matches, but also scenes of her participating in the gym challenge. In particular, Qiao Ran specially cleaned up the surrounding barrage and removed a little bit of noise to enhance the viewing experience.

From the smile on Lusamine's face, you can tell how satisfied she is with all this.

At night, after everyone finished their own business, they were ready to go back to their rooms to rest. Lusamine finally arrived at this time, knocked on Lillie and Qiao Ran's doors one by one, and took them both to her basement laboratory.

"There are a lot of usable equipment here, and it's not much different from what we had on the island."

Lusamine was wearing a white long-sleeved coat and a pair of pink narrow-rimmed glasses. In the laboratory, her appearance had changed considerably from before.

The whole person looks a lot softer.

"After all, we don't have enough energy right now. Even if we have the things on the island, we won't be able to use them until we have enough energy."

"Then I'll call you tonight

The reason we came together is actually related to your situation... You should have guessed what it is, right?"

Lusamine's gaze lingered on Qiao Ran and Lillie for a while, and both Lillie and Qiao Ran couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

Wait... could it be that he really was discovered?

Lillie's face flushed red. She thought she had hidden it well. Could it be that as a mother who had been through it, she really had some special method?

"What I want to say is..."

The smile on Lusamine's face gradually deepened, but she suddenly changed the subject as if in a mischievous way.

"...about your visit to the Moon Altar later."

"..."

"..."

Liliae and Qiao Ran hadn't expected the topic to change so suddenly. They were both stunned. Wasn't that just...

Wait...was that just a test?

Lillie's eyes suddenly widened. Her mother might not have grasped her current situation, but from the test just now, her reaction had clearly exposed her situation...

This was also the method Lusamine often used as the president of the Ether Foundation in the past, using words that were easy to be misunderstood to test and guide the other party, but at the same time she could get away with it.

And when she stepped back, she had already obtained the information she wanted.

"..."

As expected of that woman... my mother...

Lillie calmed down immediately, but Lusamine continued her narration.

"During this time, I also conducted some research on the world of Ultra Beasts."

"The environment over there is actually quite different from this side. If we want to go directly there, it will be a heavy burden on the residents of that world. Of course, the same goes for the people of that world. If we want to come directly here, we will probably have to go through some preparations."
