Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

The most important thing is that she really has the ability.

There are probably not many people in the Pokémon world who can do this.

Chapter 646 [Meiyue]

It has been a long time since Qiao Ran and Meiyue talked to each other alone.

Unlike Lillie or Mei, he and Mitsuki hardly have any time to spend alone together. Although Qiao Ran personally does not agree with Mei and Lillie's methods, in terms of the results, he thinks it is pretty good.

"Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you a little bit about the past."

Following the questions raised by Qiao Ran, Miyue also talked about her past. She was a foreigner from the Kanto region. Because of some family reasons, she moved to the Alola region to settle down. However, after spending a long time in the Alola region, she had completely fallen in love with this land.

"Unlike Kanto, Alola is full of natural scenery... Of course, I'm not saying Kanto has no natural scenery. Aside from the areas around Golden City and Jade Rainbow City, the rest of Kanto isn't that heavily urbanized."

"The first captain I challenged was Ilima... You might not have seen him, but I heard he has some connection to Guzma. I'm not sure about the details."

Mitsuki recounted the events of her life, starting with receiving her initial Pokémon and continuing with the events that occurred within the Aether Foundation. However, her encounter with Lillie was somewhat different from Qiao Ran's memories.

"The first time I met Lillie... actually, which city was it?... I can't quite remember, but it was in a clothing store somewhere. She seemed to have snuck out, and I saw her fumbling around by herself, so I went up to her and started talking."

"Ah? Haha?"

Qiao Ran smiled and was stunned for a moment. In his memory, if it was according to the plot of the so-called "game", Lillie and Mitsuki's first encounter should be because Lillie took away "Little Nebula" without permission. However, in this world, there seemed to be some deviation in this part.

But even so, Mitsuki and Lillie still met and became good friends.

"At that time, Lusamine was acting a little strange, so Lillie had the opportunity to sneak out. Later, we agreed to meet in the city I was going to."

There was a hint of helplessness on Mitsuki's face. Although Lillie's identity was very prominent, this special status also brought considerable constraints. At that time, it was not easy to meet her.

Speaking of Lillie, Miyue became more talkative, but as she spoke, she also turned the topic to Qiao Ran.

"...By the way, what do you think of Lillie?"

"I?"

Qiao Ran blinked. This question... was actually not that difficult to answer, but considering that there were two people secretly following him, asking him to answer such a question suddenly... what kind of shameful play was this!

"Hmm... well... to put it simply, she's a very good girl... very kind and considerate, hardworking, and very elegant... whether it's research or training, she's working hard bit by bit, and she's sure to achieve her own results in the future..."

Qiao Ran spoke hesitantly. Although his first reaction was that this question was difficult to answer, when he started speaking, he spoke out one by one directly as if he was making a list.

"Okay, okay, that's enough."

Qiao Ran talked a lot, but in the end, Meiyue took the initiative to interrupt Qiao Ran's narration and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Qiao Ran also felt a certain aura nearby, and his emotions gradually became disordered.

"I understand. How can you really say so much?" Meiyue couldn't help but complain.

The most important thing is that in Qiao Ran's narration, there are many more "advantages" that she has not discovered.

"...then why are you doing this kind of thing?

. "

"I didn't force anything on anyone."

Qiao Ran replied.

"And I mean it."

As for his choice, he had made it clear on this path a long time ago, and even if someone questioned him, he would not regret it anymore.

One thing he learned from his time as a trainer was that regret wouldn't solve anything; he could only look to the future.

At least, now there are Lillie and Mei who are willing to go on with him, and the same goes for other Pokémon in the frontier.

"Mizuki, and you..."

"We've known each other for so long, don't you know what I'm thinking?"

"You..." Seeing Qiao Ran suddenly becoming serious, Meiyue couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"You...what are you thinking about? I don't know."

Even at this point, she still wanted to escape. Compared to Mei and Lillie, Mitsuki was perhaps the proudest one among them. Her pride made her never willing to admit it all. Even Lillie, whom she often talked about, might just be a cover-up.

"You must have known that?"

"If you don't know, I can tell you."

Looking at Meiyue, whose face was already slightly flushed, Qiao Ran couldn't help but take a step forward. These actions did not require any instructions from others, nor did they require any preparation. They just happened naturally. Qiao Ran was also waiting for this moment.

He also wanted to convey his thoughts to Mitsuki, but he never had a good opportunity.

"Varied……"

"You...don't come here!"

Meiyue retreated repeatedly, but Qiao Ran did not give up.

"I want to keep traveling with you, Mitsuki."

"..."

"...From the first time we met and fought together, I knew you were a very special person."

As Qiao Ran spoke, he moved closer to the other person. Miraculously, as Qiao Ran spoke, Mei Yue's originally fierce resistance gradually calmed down. Her chest rose and fell slightly, and her beautiful black eyes were rippled in the moonlight.

"It's about time you gave me an answer, right?"

Qiao Ran had already come in front of her and reached out his hand to touch her cheek.

Miyue, who had been resisting fiercely, was now like a docile kitten. She just watched Qiao Ran approaching without any resistance and just panted passively.

"I……"

"Click."

however--

At this moment, a sound of something breaking came from behind Miyue.

——The wooden railing, which was already somewhat rotten, fell down along the already muddy ground by the lake.

Then, the girl standing in front of Qiao Ran suddenly disappeared in front of Qiao Ran, and let out a scream.

"..."

Qiao Ran was frightened by the scene, but he reacted quickly. Without any hesitation, he jumped into the lake.

This...what on earth is going on?

Chapter 647 [Nothing]

Although Meiyue's fall into the water was an unexpected accident that Qiao Ran had not expected, they still appeared in Qiao Ran's room together thirty minutes later.

"Um...you should take a shower first. If you need a change of clothes, you can get them at the frontier."

"Um……"

Because of the existence of the frontier, the group's luggage is not actually carried with them, but a considerable part of it is stored in the frontier. Just like now, Meiyue does not need to go back to her room to get some clothes to change, but can do everything with Qiao Ran.

However, at this moment, she was not thinking about these things, but about what happened thirty minutes ago.

After the railing broke and she accidentally fell into the water, Qiao Ran jumped down immediately and held her in his arms.

Although she was not "weak" and would not panic and drown when she fell into the water, and she could even call upon her Pokémon to help herself, she obviously did not need to do so at this moment.

"..."

Before she took any action, Qiao Ran had already come to save her, and she could even enjoy it all with peace of mind.

She didn't speak, nor did she struggle, but silently felt this feeling she had never experienced before. If it were her before, she probably wouldn't allow Qiao Ran to cling to her body so tightly, but in this special situation... it shouldn't matter, right?

"..."

It was in this situation that Miyue and Qiao Ran came to his room together, but what she didn't know was that even if she objected, Lillie and Meiyi who were hiding in secret would not let her do what she wanted. Even if they had to destroy the bathrooms in the other two rooms, they would achieve their ultimate goal.

After all, in their opinion, this matter should have ended long ago.

It's just because these two people are a little awkward that it has been delayed until now. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be like this for the rest of my life.

She went to the frontier to get some clean clothes, and then washed them in the bathroom of Qiao Ran's room. This series of processes did not take too much time. After all, she had already taken a bath before, and this time she just wanted to clean off the dirt on her body.

However, wait

After she came out, she found that Qiao Ran's eyes were always on her.

"What... happened? Is there anything strange?"

Mitsuki wanted to look like normal, but with so many things happening tonight, she couldn't react like that.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower too."

Qiao Ran looked at her slightly rosy cheeks and her skin that was lightly pink after taking a bath, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Before Mitsuki could say anything more, he was already in the bathroom.

"I……"

Qiao Ran didn't give her a chance to speak at all. She couldn't even come up with an excuse to say thank you and leave the room.

"..."

She could only sit blankly on the edge of the bed, and when Qiao Ran came out again with a bath towel hanging around his neck, she sat there obediently.

It's all right.

Meiyue had completely given up on thinking. Perhaps... it wouldn't be so bad if things continued like this. However, before that, she wanted to hear Qiao Ran continue what he had said before.

"Um...did you leave something unsaid?"

Meiyue looked at Qiao Ran and reminded him of everything.

"Is there anything else behind?"

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

The night was still long. When the sunlight of the next day shone in again, Mitsuki woke up from her dream in a daze. She suddenly realized that she had not returned to the room she and Liliae shared all night.

"It's...it's over! Oops."

Miyue's slightly happy expression froze on her face. She didn't go back to the room, and her encounter with Qiao Ran was planned by Liliae and the others. Doesn't this mean that the two of them already knew everything about this matter!

This is not what she wants to see at all!

"It's okay. You'll all figure it out sooner or later, right?"

Qiao Ran didn't mind these things, and by the way, he secretly told Miyuki some little secrets that Lillie and Mei didn't know about each other.

"Wha...what? Lillie and Mei...is there such a thing?"

After listening to Qiao Ran's narration, Meiyue was shocked. Meiyi actually had the experience of hiding in the closet. If she was the one who was in the closet at that time, then Liliae...

No, no, I can't think about it any further.

"Let me get ready first. We'll get out early and then split up."

Meiyue got up from the bed, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and tidied up her own appearance. After making sure everything was safe, she and Qiao Ran carefully walked towards the restaurant.

Qiao Ran looked at her attempt to cover up her crime with some amusement. By doing this, she could probably only fool Acerola. As for the other two... Meiyue might not know that those two had followed them all the way in the middle of the night, right?

In the restaurant, Mei and Lillie really acted as if nothing had happened, and "completely" didn't care about what happened to Miyue and Qiao Ran. Lillie didn't even ask Miyue why she didn't go back to her room to sleep. Although this abnormal state made Miyue a little confused, she still breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as no one says anything, she can be an ostrich with peace of mind.

"By the way, what are your plans for today?"

At the dinner table, Acerola picked up his phone and showed the screen to everyone.

"...I found something interesting. What's it called...a haunted house secret room? It looks like one of those places where people pretend to be ghosts and scare people. It even says there's a crime to be solved...it seems quite interesting."

Although the description was a bit strange, looking at Aserola's excitement, it seemed that he was indeed very interested in this kind of place. There was no such novel form of entertainment in the Alola region. Even in Qiao Ran's world, this form of entertainment had only suddenly become popular in the last few years.

Simply put, a scene is set up, and the participants play the role of players. The store arranges people to play the role of NPCs. There are some plot interactions and some role-playing with horror elements.

Qiao Ran personally did not reject this, but she was not as interested as Acerola. However, her excitement really diluted the strange atmosphere at the dinner table.

Qiao Ran also quickly followed her line of thought.

"Yes, how about we go here this morning?"

"...We have to wait for Zhulan and the others to come over for the next few days, so it won't hurt to relax a little more."
