Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand to take it, but before he could hold on, an unprecedented pressure hit his palm. He couldn't even hold on for half a second before the shovel fell to the ground, making a shallow hole.

"..."

Qiao Ran looked at the shovel with his mouth wide open, as if he was speechless.

"It really doesn't work... How about this, you can start with a lighter shovel, and I can ask someone to get you a lighter one."

Tie Ji patted Qiao Ran on the shoulder, telling him not to lose heart, then bent down and casually picked up the shovel with one hand.

Looking at her movements, a drop of cold sweat dripped down Qiao Ran's forehead: "..."

Sure enough, asking this kind of monster how to exercise was definitely overthinking it.

Is the shovel the only thing on this guy's mind?

--------------------------------

Despite his doubts, Qiao Ran finally picked up the special shovel Tie Ji had made for him and began exercising. As long as he ran ten kilometers a day, did 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, and 100 squats, and persisted for three years, he would eventually become bald.

Of course, during this period of time, Qiao Ran also started the next stage of Pokémon catching. However, this mission was much more difficult than the previous one.

"Dang! This time we need to capture 100 Rock-type Pokémon. Only Rock-type Pokémon can be Lotor!"

"Only rock type? Didn't they have two attributes before?"

In the Pokémon Land, Qiao Ran touched his chin. It would take quite a while to capture 100 Pokémon of both attributes. If only a single attribute was needed, it would probably take a lot longer.

"This one's going to get more difficult, Lotor. Right now it's just a rock type, but maybe it'll become a dragon type in the future, Lotor!"

Rotom chuckled as he spoke, and looking at her pointed gaze, Joe

Ran increasingly felt that this might really happen in the future.

"100 dragon-types... Where can I catch 100 dragon-types?"

Qiao Ran curled his lips helplessly. Fortunately, the current attributes were relatively easy to catch, and there were no rare and uncommon attributes. However, if it was really a dragon type, it would probably be difficult to deal with.

"If the master can't catch it, you can find a way yourself, Loto. For example, the Tanabata Bluebird can..."

"clear--!"

Rotom's malicious smile was noticed by the Tanabata Bluebird that happened to be passing by, and then - Rotom was directly grabbed by two bird claws.

“Don’t catch me, don’t catch me, Loto! I was just saying it, you can’t do it now, you’re not from the Doll Group… Okay, okay, I won’t say it anymore, Loto! Let me go, Loto!”

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Rotom's screams echoed above the clouds. This guy could obviously float in the air, but he looked like he had a fear of heights.

Qiao Ran withdrew his gaze from the sky. As a qualified trainer, he would not interrupt the "friendly communication" of his Pokémon. Besides, this guy kept talking about the humanoid team all the time. Qiao Ran seriously suspected that Vulpix and Diancie were led astray by this guy.

"So... should we deal with this thing now?"

Qiao Ran withdrew his gaze from the sky and took out a forgotten prop from his pocket. Or rather, it was something he wanted to use before but didn't dare to use.

——A key shining with golden light.

The number 037 is engraved on the key.

"Waiting is indeed boring, but... I always feel that I have to meet Mei before I can make this decision."

Qiao Ran muttered to himself and sat down on the grass.

His current strength is much stronger than before. After the gym challenge, Vulpix's level has reached 31, and Diancie and Suicune have both broken through level 27. Moreover, he had decided to use the key after the gym challenge, but now Mei has appeared as a variable.

Unlike others, she is from the real Pokémon world and should not be here. She must have some information that Qiao Ran wants.

"Forget it, let's not use it for now. It would be troublesome if they happened to come back while I was away."

After thinking for a while, Qiao Ran gave up the idea of ​​using it now.

Using it now can certainly reduce the waste of time, but if you happen to miss the time when the other person comes back, the cost will not be worth it.

So, his final decision was not to use it.

And the very next day after Qiao Ran returned to the real world, he heard good news from Eve.

"Qiao Ran Qiao Ran, I just got the news that my sister and the others will be back soon!!"

"came back?"

Looking at Eve's excited face, Qiao Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately... he didn't use the key yesterday. If he had used it, he would probably have missed them.

Chapter 61 060 [Your ability is very important] (Please vote!)

"Where are they now?"

After hearing the news of his imminent return, Qiao Ran continued to ask questions. This was now his only purpose for staying here.

"It will take a little while. It was Sister Tie who told me this news..."

Eve said that she didn't know the details. Such investigations usually have confidentiality agreements. The Alliance has always been very strict in protecting the ruins, just like what Qiao Ran encountered last time - it was just a wild relic that appeared in the wild, and the Alliance sent a king-level prosecutor.

Although that time was most likely because Yi Ruoyun happened to pass by there, it can be seen no matter what that time was, that it shows how much importance the alliance attached to it.

"Well, looks like we'll have to wait a while."

Qiao Ran shook his head helplessly. He was a more adventurous person. If he stayed in one place all the time, he would almost be covered with grass.

However, just as Qiao Ran was talking to the clothes, the owner Tie Ji also came over with a big shovel in her hand, and her expression seemed a little serious.

"Qiao Ran, come here first. There are some things I need to discuss with you."

"Me?" Qiao Ran pointed at himself and looked at Eve, who also had a confused expression on her face.

"Little Eve, I'm sorry, I'll just borrow this man for now."

Tie Ji hooked Qiao Ran's shoulders and forcibly pulled Qiao Ran away from here. The tremendous force even made Qiao Ran feel that he was actually being kidnapped - if he dared to resist, the other party would definitely use Eagle Claw to break his neck.

Only after bringing Qiao Ran to a nearby room did Tie Ji stop.

"You should have heard from Little Eve, right? Her sister is coming back soon."

"Well, we were just discussing this issue." Qiao Ran nodded.

"It's easier now that you know."

Tieji's voice paused.

"They found something very important this time... However, due to some reasons, their whereabouts were leaked. The Alliance received intelligence that a group of poachers were trying to kill them on the way.

They launched the attack.”

Tie Ji turned around, her eyes filled with solemnity.

"How... did the poachers know this information?"

Listening to Tie Ji's narration, Qiao Ran widened his eyes.

"It's nothing more than planting spies in each other's organizations. All organizations are the same." Tie Ji waved her hand, indicating that she was used to all this.

If there is a 10% profit, capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; with a 20% profit, capital becomes active; with a 50% profit, capital takes risks; for the sake of 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all human laws; with a 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

The poachers organization was established on this basis. Especially when it comes to stealing relics, they will get support from foreign forces, and the interest relations involved are also complicated.

"Why...are you telling me this? What if I'm also a traitor?"

Qiao Ran swallowed his saliva. Logically speaking, he was just a nobody now, just a novice trainer who had "just started his journey". According to common sense, there was no reason for Tie Ji to ask him for such a thing, right?

Besides, he had not proved that he was not a traitor, and the museum owner in front of him had never examined him.

"If you are, then I, the Iron...Gym Master, have misjudged you, and so has Little Eve."

Tie Ji patted Qiao Ran's shoulder again and told him not to worry.

"Get ready. We're going out for a while... You have to come with us. Your abilities are very important."

"...My ability?"

Several question marks popped up in Qiao Ran’s mind: What are my abilities?

Could it be that she is attracted by the fighting power of my Pokémon?

--------------------------------

After handing over the gym work to other trainers, Tie Ji took Qiao Ran directly to a silver-gray off-road vehicle. The exterior of the vehicle looked very sturdy and its impact resistance must be excellent.

"Come up."

Tie Ji, who had changed out of her cumbersome coat, now wore a vest and shorts that made it easy to move around in, revealing her beautiful figure. Her mature figure was completely incomparable to that of a child like Eve.

She sat directly in the driver's seat, put on a pair of sunglasses, and told Qiao Ran to stop hesitating.

"I know I know."

Qiao Ran reached out to open the back door, but was immediately objected by Tie Ji.

"Why are you sitting in the back? I have something important to tell you. Come to the front."

Qiao Ran shrugged helplessly, and finally opened the door in front: "..."

Sitting next to Tie Ji somewhat awkwardly, Qiao Ran really didn't know where to look. Most of the people he had been in contact with recently were young girls or lolis, and the heart of a mature older sister like Tie Ji was really... too scary.

Qiao Ran had no choice but to watch her smooth hand movements, and couldn't help feeling a little envious. It was obvious that this guy was a mature old driver with very skilled driving skills.

"There are only two of us going to provide support this time. Since this is an emergency mission issued by the alliance, we can't spare any other personnel for the time being."

Tie Ji was commanding the giant steel beast beneath her while talking to Qiao Ran.

"Also, because there's a suspected traitor within the expedition team, we have no way of communicating directly with them this time. They've definitely monitored all of our internal communications. So, Qiao Ran—now is the time for you to make your move."

Tieji turned her head and glanced at him with her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses.

"Why...why me?" Qiao Ran blinked in confusion.

I don't know how to use a radio or send radio waves, so why is this the time for me to appear?

"why are you?"

Tieji shook her head with amusement.

"Of course it's because of your powerful super powers."

Qiao Ran: “……???”

Qiao Ran scratched his head dully.

Um… when did I acquire a power called “superpowers”?

Did you guys, the owners, agree to add some weird settings to me?

Looking at Qiao Ran's dazed face, Tie Ji thought he didn't understand, so she started explaining again.

"Eve may not have told you, but her sister, Lilia, is also a psychic. As long as you two are nearby, you can communicate directly through your psychic powers. As long as they don't know where we are, they won't have time to escape."

"Then... we can attack from both sides and catch all the poachers in one fell swoop!"

"What a clever plan..."

Qiao Ran's mouth twitched. Although the plan was very clever, there was one biggest problem - he actually had no superpowers at all!

Chapter 62 061 [Your Name]

"Qiao Ran? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent?"

"Ah... well, I was thinking about something and I was a little carsick."

Looking at the curbs passing by quickly outside the window, Qiao Ran

My mind has already become a mess.

Should I say it or not?

Qiao Ran was a little hesitant.

The matter before him now was different from everything that had happened before. If he didn't tell the truth, it would likely lead to disastrous consequences. However... Qiao Ran felt that if he told the truth now, he would probably face disastrous consequences immediately.

"Gulu."

Qiao Ran swallowed nervously again, took out the Rotom disguised as an ordinary cell phone, and asked for her advice.

Qiao Ran has no one else to ask right now, but Rotom can be used as a reference. This guy often comes up with a lot of clever ideas, and maybe he can open a new door for Qiao Ran.

Since there was no one to ask, Qiao Ran could only ask the ghost.

Qiao Ran: "Rotom, did you hear our conversation just now? Do you have any way to allow me to have a conversation with someone with superpowers?"
