Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

This can be seen when taking Kyuubi out together. As for Xuwu Yide, it seems that he can achieve a similar effect.

"Master, go to the airport."

Qiao Ran called a car with his cell phone and prepared to pick someone up at the airport. Although Zhu Lan had told him not to be so polite and that she would come herself, Qiao Ran felt that he still had to take the initiative.

"...After Zhulan arrives, I'll probably have to think about what to do next..."

"but……"

However, that Zhulan...will she actually make up her mind to join their team?

Leaning on the backrest of the car, Qiao Ran now has a trance-like feeling. Even Miyue and Meiyi can only be regarded as "future champions" at best, and Acerola can only be regarded as "future kings", while Zhulan is a real top-level boss.

That's it.

If she could join, I'm afraid Mitsuki and Mei would have to surround her for special training every day, right?

Thinking back to the battle between him and Zhulan, the gap between them was still quite obvious. Although his current strength had improved to a certain extent, Qiao Ran still didn't think he had the strength to defeat or even compete with the opponent.

The most important thing is that Qiao Ran has not yet fully understood the gap between the king and the champion, let alone breaking through it.

"More powerful strength..."

Qiao Ran silently clenched his fists. One day, he would reach that level. Then, he would have a six-on-six battle with Zhu Lan.

Chapter 653 [Decision]

It was not difficult to find Zhulan in the crowd after finding a good position in advance. Although she was not famous in this world, her special temperament and appearance were enough to attract people's attention.

However, looking at Qiao Ran who suddenly appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but say something.

"I've told you several times that you don't have to come this time."

"I just happened to have nothing else to do, so I came here to see you early."

Qiao Ran looked at Zhu Lan. She had hardly changed from before, but she still looked a little tired, probably because she had been traveling recently.

"I'll take you to the hotel where we're staying first. Mei and the others are all there now... Oh, and besides them, there's another person here too."

"Is there another person?"

"Yes, it's Lila I told you about before. We showed her the information today, and now she..."

The two chatted about recent events as they walked. Although Zhulan had not acted with Qiao Ran and the others before, she and Qiao Ran often kept in touch, so she was quite familiar with their movements.

"Comatose? I don't know much about this kind of thing... If Cattleya were here, maybe she would have some ideas."

Zhulan didn't know anything about awakening or memories, but she thought her good friend, the superpower king of the Unova region, might have some solution. Unfortunately, her whereabouts were still unknown, and who knew where to find her...

"As for super powers, Latias and Mew are also helping. I also asked Nancy, but she also said she doesn't understand."

"Ah..." Zhulan was stunned for a moment and smiled apologetically.

"Then what I said might not be right... maybe humans really don't have any solution."

"fine."

Qiao Ran shook his head to indicate that he didn't care about these things. Sometimes when talking with Zhulan, he could find that, perhaps as a sequelae of being a scholar, she was a little too strict with her own words.

The two talked as they walked, and Qiao Ran even tried to help the other pull the suitcase, but in front of Zhu Lan's "smile", he gave up the idea.

In addition to this, Qiao Ran seemed to have noticed something else.

"...I feel like a lot of people are looking at me...I think you should disguise yourself a little when you go out next time, like wearing a hat and sunglasses like me."

In order not to attract other people's attention after going out, Qiao Ran had already made a good disguise before running out. But when he came to Zhu Lan, he ran outside naked.

Although she is not as popular as in the Pokémon world now, this look alone is already very eye-catching!

If he attracted any more attention, his disguise would be ruined on the spot.

"I'm like that in the Pokémon world too. I'm not a movie star like Nancy."

Zhulan seemed very unaware of it, but she was used to it.

"As for you, those things that were circulating online before... you should have been more careful, right? You're public figures now. If any weird rumors about you were to appear, that account would be affected as well."

"This... I've been paying attention to it." Qiao Ran was speechless. It was obvious that he didn't have the power as rumored before. If he continued like this, then it wouldn't be other people trying to pair him up, but rumors would start to circulate that he was having multiple relationships at the same time.

Although it may be true to some extent, it is still a little out of tune with this world.

"So it's better for you to keep some distance from them. At least..."

Zhulan said half of her words, but then shook her head and swallowed the rest.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about business."

She came to Rongcheng this time not to tell Qiao Ran these things. The situation in the Pokémon world was urgent and delaying for one more day might increase the danger. This was the reason why she was so anxious this time.

"Well... the transformation process, which is also the condition for entering the Pokémon world, can you tell me more about it now?"

"Just consider it an introduction to me."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————— -

The transformation of Xuwu Yide was at best just an accidental discovery by Qiao Ran at the beginning, but what he did not expect was that it has shown a momentum of development until today.

如果

If Zhulan really makes up her mind... then she'll have to ask Xuwu Yide for help again...

Thinking of what happened last night, Qiao Ran's body trembled. Although he could no longer remember some specific things, some feelings still remained in him. The most terrifying thing was that he could feel that his connection with other Voided was deepening. Unlike other Pokémon, Voided, as an Ultra Beast, seemed to easily enhance the so-called "favorability".

Qiao Ran already had such a premonition in his heart - if the queen continued to let other Xuwuides do this, it would probably only be a matter of time before the other Xuwuides became humanized.

By then, there won’t just be one Super White Hair, but countless Super White Hairs. Can he really walk out of that cave alive?

When Qiao Ran and Zhulan arrived at the hotel, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. There was probably nothing to talk about at this time, but along the way, Qiao Ran had fully understood Zhulan's will and ideas.

She was really determined to do this.

At this stage, only Qiao Ran has the ability to go to the Pokémon world. Moreover, she is willing to trust Qiao Ran's character. After observing and getting along with him for such a long time, she still trusts this boy very much.

Qiao Ran had basically completed his task of picking up people. The next step was to let Zhu Lan meet the others and have a brief chat. On the other side, things seemed to be taking a turn for the better.

——The purple-haired woman who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes. She supported her body and sat up from the bed.

"..."

She looked at everything around her that was unfamiliar, but seemed unaware of it. Instead, she looked at her hands and muttered something silently.

"My name is Lila..."

She had gradually remembered everything.

"I am the pioneering brain of the Battle Frontier... Lord Lila of the Battle Tower..."

Chapter 654 [But Not Fully Recovered]

There were some things that Qiao Ran himself could not have predicted, and when he and Zhu Lan returned to the familiar hotel room, they were indeed shocked by the scene before them.

Lila, who was originally lying on the bed, sat up and threw herself in front of the mirror, muttering in a confused manner something like "Is this me?" "Why is this me?"

The other girls were watching with worry on their faces, ready to step forward and comfort the other person at any time.

"This……"

Zhulan blinked, expressing her shock. Are you always... so special?

"Master, we have tried our best to treat her, but...it seems like something is wrong."

The red-haired maid and Menghuan hung their heads in frustration. Although they did seem to remind Lila of something, there was a subtle deviation in the most crucial part.

"She seems...to have trouble remembering what happened in Alola."

"Can't remember anything about Alola?"

Qiao Ran also blinked, indicating that he was greatly shocked.

Lila lived in Alola for at least ten years. If she had forgotten this part of her memory, what would be the difference between her ten-year-old self and her current body?

"Wait...but that seems quite normal. Allura's memories were created after Lila lost her memory. So, if she overwrote Allura's memories when she recalled her real memories, it would be reasonable to overwrite them."

But honestly, who would lose their memory twice in a row and then have different memories each time?

"...It sounds very complicated." Zhulan on the side couldn't help but nodded.

"But, can you tell me... who is this person? She seemed to call you master just now?"

Zhulan pointed at the red-haired maid standing in front of Qiao Ran. She recognized the flesh-colored cat-shaped Pokémon floating over there, but this person... she had never seen him before.

Could it be that Qiao Ran’s identity is similar to Cattleya’s, the type who has to go home and inherit billions of dollars if he can’t be a trainer?

"Well, she's Latias, and transforming into a human form is actually her own special ability."

Unlike Qiao Ran's other Pokémon that have "humanized", Latias actually has this ability when it appears. In principle, it seems that the feathers on its body refract light, thereby changing the image seen.

But... the power of Pokémon cannot be measured by common sense. Logically, the illusion created by this light cannot change its shape or even produce a real sense of touch. However, Latias is different. After activating this ability, not only does the size of her body change, but she can also produce a similar sense of touch. Is this really a trick?

In this world, I'm afraid magic can only be explained by magic.

"Latias? Is that the legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region? Indeed... I heard that this Pokémon does have the ability to disguise itself with light, but taking on human form..."

Zhulan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at the red-haired maid in front of her a few more times. However, the most important thing at the moment was obviously not this - Lila was still lying on the mirror and muttering to herself.

"I……"

Is that me in the mirror?

I……

A person's life is changing all the time, and the body's natural metabolism will gradually eliminate the past things. When this span reaches ten years, no matter who it is, they will probably feel confused. For Lila at this time, she has regained her memories of ten years ago, and it is probably not much different from directly traveling through "ten years".

"Hey."

Faced with this situation, Qiao Ran didn't know how to comfort the other party. He could only place his hopes on Lillie and Mei, who had a closer relationship with her. As for Zhulan... she and Lila were not very familiar with each other, and now she didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Lillie and the others were very helpful. Perhaps it was because she still had some memories of the "present" left. With the comfort and persuasion of others, Lila, who was originally very confused, gradually calmed down.

"...So...I didn't actually travel through time ten years ago, but I lost my memory, so I forgot all these things?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lila looked at the information in front of her, her hands shaking unconsciously.

"Ten years... I've actually been an international police officer in Alola for ten years?"

"Well, you see, it's clearly written in the information. Besides, we also know your predecessor in Alola, and he can also testify."

Qiao Ran answered seriously. Perhaps it was because she had regained her original memory, but Lila's behavior and way of speaking were obviously less "calm" than before.

It feels like going back to the past.

"..."

Zhulan stood in a row and watched silently. She really wanted to interrupt and talk to everyone about her situation, but Lila seemed very urgent, so she was stuck there, neither going up nor down.

However, after waking up, Lila was obviously not in good physical condition. Not long after, her eyelids began to droop. Latias and Menghuan, seeing the opportunity, cooperated very well and hypnotized her, which completely ensured her sleep quality.

"At a time like this, it's better to let her rest more."

Latias used telekinesis to help the man onto the bed and carefully covered him with a blanket.

"Sorry... there must be some problem with my and Menghuan's operation. If my sister were here... the effect would be better than it is now."

Latias did seem to be blaming herself. Although her actions did have a certain effect, it obviously did not achieve the goal she had expected. At least, this was definitely not the perfection she wanted.

"You've done a great job. If it were the rest of us, there would be nothing we could do."

"I think Lila would be willing to recover her past memories, even if they were only from ten years ago... At least if it were me, I definitely wouldn't give up."

Qiao Ran didn't know what Lila was thinking, but if he put himself in her shoes, he would definitely try his best to make her remember.

The so-called past makes up a person's present, and the present determines his future. If any link is missing in the middle, there will be regrets of incompleteness.

"Okay, let Lila rest here... Let's change places and go to other rooms to discuss other things."

Qiao Ran shook his head and turned his gaze to Zhu Lan.

"I guess it's been a while since you last met."

Chapter 655 [Open and Honest]

Although they had communicated online in various ways, it was indeed a long time ago that they met in real life, not to mention that they had experienced a long period of adventure before that. The atmosphere in Alola was completely different from the atmosphere in the real world now. It was no exaggeration to say that the feeling of switching between the two was like a lifetime ago.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhulan took the initiative to say hello, which was considered the beginning of this conversation. After all, she could see that because of her arrival, everyone else seemed a little too "restrained".

"You should know why Zhulan came this time."
