Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Miss, we don't allow ghost Pokémon here... It's best if you don't bring any Pokémon with you."

"Eh? But these kids are all very well behaved, right?"

Although he had arrived at the secret room he had been looking forward to for a long time, Acerola's originally excited mood suddenly became depressed after hearing the words of the staff.

She looked at Gengar, Mew, Mimikyu, and other ghost Pokémon floating in the air around her, and tried to get the other party to compromise with a pitiful expression, but rules are rules after all. Under the strong request of the store owner, Acerola finally put the Pokémon away reluctantly.

"If you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it... Fine. Humph."

This is the first

Once, Qiao Ran saw Acerola looking a bit angry, but the store had its reasons for doing so, and it wasn't deliberately trying to embarrass Acerola. It was already difficult for store staff to act as NPCs, and if a player brought a Pokémon with them, wouldn't they be carried away if they got startled? And let alone a ghost-type Pokémon, who knew who would be scaring whom?

"...We can go in, and then we can take the Pokémon somewhere else to play."

Lillie and the others were trying to comfort Acerola. After Acerola's intervention, the events of last night were simply forgotten. Now everyone really ran over to play in the escape room as if nothing had happened. Even Mitsuki's acting seemed a bit exaggerated. Was this guy so interested in it?

Qiao Ran didn't understand and didn't dare to ask, so he could only follow behind and experience it with them.

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

Although Qiao Ran did not have much experience in playing escape rooms, overall, this experience was quite interesting. This feeling came not only from the store's scene layout and role-playing, but the most important thing was that all the people he played with were companions he was extremely familiar with.

When he came out of the store, Acerola, who was originally a little upset, had a significant change in his opinion of the store and even began to have strange fantasies.

"You say...if Alola returns to normal, how about I open a store like this? There are naturally many on Ula'ula Island, like the supermarket ruins that was destroyed by Tapu Moo. It looks scary inside."

"I've been using that venue when I was setting up the big test. Mitsuki should know about it, right? She was there before."

Acerola spoke excitedly, but speaking of it, this kind of operation of setting up the venue and arranging NPCs in the secret room is indeed very similar to Alola's big test, but the captain's big test requires arranging the battle venue and the wild overlord Pokémon to fight against.

After finishing the trip to the secret room, everyone went to experience many different entertainment facilities. During this time, it was mostly Acerola who was running around excitedly. Like her ghost Pokémon, she was also interested in many things.

Moreover, Qiao Ran also discovered that she was not just playing around, she was really thinking about how to bring good things back to Alola. Compared with this world, or other areas in the Pokémon world, the relatively backward Alola region was indeed lacking too much.

The more Acerola traveled with Qiao Ran and the others, the more she felt this feeling. Her vision was no longer limited to Alola, nor was it limited to a certain island. It also included the differences between regions, between several worlds, and even between humans and Pokémon.

The time spent playing was indeed very fun. The happiest thing was that with Acerola's manipulation, yesterday's incident was really made up. Mitsuki and Lillie were all pretending to be stupid to each other, as if no one knew anything as long as no one said anything.

"...That's fine."

Qiao Ran did not try to break this balance. He also knew that Meiyue was a thin-skinned person, especially in matters like this. Wasn't it because of this reason that he had not advanced the relationship before?

However, Qiao Ran was a little worried. What if Mitsuki had an accident with someone like Mei Liliae? Would she just go berserk and lose control?

"It seems this is far from over..."

Qiao Ran rubbed his head. The future was still full of difficulties. Although they had overcome one difficult hurdle, there would still be many problems. After all, no one had ever experienced this kind of relationship. Both they and Qiao Ran would probably have to find some "solutions".

After resting and having fun, the trainers still have to carry out daily special training. In addition to allowing the Pokémon to exercise their bodies, it is also to allow themselves to adapt to the rhythm of battle. Especially for Qiao Ran and others, they can't just watch stupidly while the Pokémon is training.

——Everyone must increase their physical strength to prevent various accidents. Even Lillie needs to strengthen her physical strength.

I don't need to reach the level of a super rookie, but at least I should be able to lift Little Kiras with my bare hands.

As for the training ground, the frontier is definitely the best choice.

"I think we could try building some training grounds or small houses in the frontier. The Porters in Unova are Pokémon that are very good at building houses. There should be some in the frontier, right? How about having them help?"

During a break in training, Mei also brought up an idea of ​​her own. In Unova, there's a Pokémon that constantly haunts construction sites: the Porter, along with its evolved forms, the Ironbone and the Old Builder. These Pokémon deeply enjoy construction-related work, and their bodies are built strong through their work. It's thanks to these Pokémon that Unova has achieved a high level of industrialization and urbanization, with one Pokémon found in nearly every building.

"Hmm... I think we can give it a try. As for the building materials... I'll try to contact Nancy..."

When this kind of thing was mentioned, Qiao Ran immediately thought of Na

Zi, as the owner of the Magic City Museum, she does have a very rich network of contacts. It should be easy for her to find people in this field. Moreover, she is really reliable.

"Ah, Lila replied to the message."

At this moment, Liliae, who was doing stretching gymnastics nearby, jogged over to Qiao Ran.

She still had her cell phone in her hand.

"She said she'd be free tomorrow, and that we'd meet at the old place!"

Chapter 649 [I Really Forgot]

The old place that Lila was referring to was naturally the gathering point for their first outing. Although Qiao Ran felt a little sleepy from running out every day in the past few days, considering that their meeting with Lila was not just for fun, Qiao Ran did not worry too much about it.

Awakening Lila's memory would definitely be of great benefit.

Of course, no matter how important this matter is, it will eventually happen one day later. For Qiao Ran now, it is better to worry more about the present.

For example, will anything strange happen tonight?

"No way, they won't all come over tonight, right?"

Although everything was peaceful during the day, that was all thanks to Acerola. Today, Qiao Ran even thought more than once about letting Acerola join the team - how wise this decision was.

——If it weren’t for her, I would have definitely lost my blood by now.

Even though he had Acerola's back during the day, Qiao Ran was still worried about his safety at night. If these three men attacked him together, would he dare to move? He absolutely didn't dare to move.

"Let's just go to the frontier and relax..."

After a day of playing and training, when Qiao Ran returned to his room, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. It was not yet the time for bad kids to go out at night, so Qiao Ran had the opportunity to be alone.

It would be a great opportunity to go to the frontier to see the new Mew or to spend some time with Kyuubi.

Especially the new Pokémon Mew, she is now a big celebrity in the frontier. After all, her unique ability to transform at will is something that other Pokémon don’t have, and her cheerful personality makes it impossible for other Pokémon to dislike her.

"... Let's get a feel for where they are first."

Arriving at the frontier, Qiao Ran looked around. After all, it was already night, and it was time for all the Pokémon to rest, even the lively Mew. It was worth mentioning that Mew had built its nest on the newly grown tree. Looking down from there, one could see the scenery of most areas of the frontier clearly.

However, at this point in time, the only Pokémon who could possibly make their home in that tree would likely be the petite Mew. As for Diancie and the other Pokémon, they'd prefer lower-lying caves to tall trees. If they were asked to live there, they'd likely be reluctant.

Qiao Ran made up his mind and went to the tree to look at Mew, and asked her to transform into another Pokémon to test the feel. However, before he could take a few steps, a strange aura came from behind him.

"Clap."

Along with it, there are strange sounds.

"..."

Qiao Ran's expression fell in an instant. At that moment, he basically understood everything and felt the existence of the "other party", but - it was obviously too late.

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

When Qiao Ran finally gained the right to open his eyes, he had been tied up in a rather eerie-looking cave, surrounded by strangely shaped stones that emitted a faint fluorescent light.

Within the light curtain, strange white "jellyfish" were still swinging their tentacles to their heart's content.

"This……"

Qiao Ran's expression had darkened, and he looked as if he had been poisoned. The word "nest" was stuck in his throat. He had gradually understood everything, but - it was indeed too late.

Some things will gradually fade away from his mind, but eventually someone will force him to remember them.

"Master, it's been so long, have you...really forgotten something?"

From the depths of the cave, in the misty light of the ore, a girl with white hair and a white dress, like an elf, floated out. Her steps were so light that it seemed as if she was not stepping on the ground. Her whole body exuded a light and ethereal beauty that was hard to grasp.

However, the malicious smile on his face still made Qiao Ran feel nervous.

Although the white and blue on her body are about 60% similar to the current Nine-Tailed Fox, anyone who sees the two of them can probably tell the difference between her and the Nine-Tailed Fox in an instant.

"Master~"

"Who was it that said back then that they would compensate me later and would never forget it?"

Xuwu Yide walked out slowly, counting out Qiao Ran's crimes one by one.

Before, and before, and even before that, every time Qiao Ran asked her for help, she didn't refuse, but until now, the so-called "reward" that Qiao Ran promised had never been fulfilled.

"...I have been waiting for the past two days.

I’ve been waiting for this.”

A faint black aura seemed to emanate from Xuwu Yide's body, and Qiao Ran shuddered. Wait... could this be a dark transformation?

Qiao Ran was too scared to move and could only look away awkwardly: "..."

But it's not his fault! The key is that a lot of things have happened in the past two days...

"..."

Qiao Ran was about to explain, but when he looked up and saw Xu Wuyide's complicated gaze, he finally swallowed the words on his lips.

Anger, grievance, disappointment, loss...

So what kind of emotion is that?

She is usually unpredictable, but she can also have obvious emotional fluctuations.

--All right.

Qiao Ran gradually calmed down.

It was true that he had forgotten his agreement with Xuwuyide. He had indeed stood him up many times. He didn't even think about it tonight. He only remembered going to climb trees and pet cats.

"I see...it's really my fault."

"I……"

Qiao Ran immediately began to admit his mistake, wanting to comfort Xu Wuyide's hurt emotions. However, before he could say a few more words, Xu Wuyide's expression had already become "strange".

"That means... you've already agreed, right, Master?"

"Eh?"

"What I owe you before, and what I need to compensate you for today, all need to be paid back at once~"

Xuwu Yide smiled, and after Qiao Ran bowed his head and admitted his mistake, she changed her mood at the speed of light.

She patted the back of her hands, and the queen's reputation and appeal were clearly revealed in her every move. After hearing this voice, the other Xuwuyide in the cave became active and gradually moved towards Qiao Ran and Xuwuyide.

The white-haired girl narrowed her eyes, licked her lips with a wicked smile.

"We won't let you go until tomorrow morning..."

"Master~"

Chapter 650 [Busy Good]

What does it feel like to be besieged by a group of Xuwu Yide?

In the Pokémon world, perhaps no one can answer this question, but in a place that is not the Pokémon world, Qiao Ran feels that he has absolute right to speak.

“I’m going to die…”

How did I fall asleep yesterday?

Maybe... that feeling wasn't really like falling asleep, it was just a simple exhaustion of energy, followed by a complete loss of consciousness.

In the first half, it was basically Xuwuide who besieged him, and in the second half, Xuwuide, as the queen, directly took him back to her room.

After becoming human, she was no longer satisfied with a floating cave. She also decorated her room a little bit, making it look quite elegant and special. From the perspective of human aesthetics, it is indeed incompatible with mainstream art and has a very "otherworldly" temperament.

However, when Qiao Ran was brought into his room by Xu Wu Yide, he could only see the other world.

"Tired? Then you can take a good rest."

Unexpectedly, Xuwu Yide let him lie on her lap and relaxed a little. The gentle attitude almost made Qiao Ran hallucinate, but what he didn't know was that it was just the beginning of the storm.

The "counterattack" Xu Wu Yide obviously would not let Qiao Ran go. In the second half of the night, with the exclusive copyright, she tried many things that had confused her before. As for the last step - after taking Qiao Ran's physical strength into consideration, she still did not go too far. At least, she now has the answer she wanted.

As for the rest, it’s not too late to talk about it later.

"So... Diancie and the others are doing this..."

Xuwuid said that she was really impressed. The last time she was secretly tracking Qiao Ran remotely, she also found Suicune passing by and strolling nearby. However, no matter what she asked her, the other party was hesitant and ambiguous. It was said that she was a veteran Pokémon who followed her master after Diancie, but now she has become like this. Xuwuid could only shake her head and sigh.

As for Qiao Ran, he was only afraid of the Xuwu Yide who had activated the limiter. Right now, it was just the queen. If she got acquainted with the other Xuwu Yide outside, wouldn't that be...

In fact, not all humanized Pokémon will have this tendency, but it is extremely obvious in Hollowid. Qiao Ran is not sure whether she was influenced by Lillie and the others, but at least - compared with Yveltal or other Pokémon who know nothing, her tricks are quite complicated.

"But fortunately, it's finally the next day..."

The next day, when Qiao Ran returned to the real world and crawled to the bathroom, he was very glad that he was still sober.

Procrastination and betrayal will eventually be punished by justice. Qiao Ran has now experienced this firsthand with his own body. In the future, he must make himself an honest and trustworthy person.

"So, you went to the frontier last night, and ended up accompanying Pokémon training.

, so you just stayed up all night?"
