Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"Let's just change the trainer's diary to a diva's diary from now on. Trainers just do it for fun, and the diva is still more powerful."

No one cares about the so-called ten years of training, but once a singer becomes famous, the world will know her. Only by mastering the traffic password can you truly understand how this world works.

However, the other people present also understood that Qiao Ran said this just for fun. Their focus was not on the so-called account management. No matter what they did afterwards, they would never forget that they were actually trainers.

"How was your rest? Are you feeling better?"

After meeting with several girls, Qiao Ran went straight to Zhulan's room. Zhulan had changed her clothes and appeared in front of Qiao Ran as usual.

However, her expression still seemed a little weak, and Qiao Ran could still see this tiny difference.

"It's gotten much better, but it still feels a little numb when I move more."

"It's okay."

Seeing her gradually recovering, Qiao Ran felt relieved. As for the next plan, it could be carried out according to his previous plan.

"After lunch, we'll catch the plane. Before that...if you're free, I'll take you somewhere interesting."

"Where?"

Seeing Qiao Ran so excited and mysterious, Zhu Lan couldn't help but ask.

"Another world. A world different from the Pokémon world."

Qiao Ran kept it a secret for a while and just looked at Zhulan mysteriously.

"I'll take you there after you've had a good breakfast."

"..." After hearing what Qiao Ran said, Zhu Lan couldn't help but look at him speechlessly.

"Eat your breakfast properly... Do you think I'm a child...?"

Chapter 660 [Pioneering Land]

"Open... expand the land?"

After breakfast, Zhulan couldn't suppress her restless curiosity. However, when she heard this name from Qiao Ran's mouth for the first time, she thought about it for a long time.

"What area is this? Around here?"

“No, I’ll take you with me.

go with. "

After Qiao Ran finished speaking, he asked Rotom to open the portal, and he pulled Zhulan into the portal.

This is Zhulan's first time here. Looking around, the natural scenery here seems to be no different from that in other worlds, but there is a very relaxing feeling.

There are clear rivers, hills and forests in the distance, and you can vaguely see many Pokémon in Zhulan. They live in this natural scenery, which looks like some nature reserves in the Pokémon world.

"Is this... in another world?"

"This isn't the world we were in before, nor is it the Pokémon world."

Qiao Ran gave an answer to Zhulan's question, but he himself was not very clear about the more detailed things.

He watched this space grow step by step. There were more and more ordinary Pokémon, and the space became larger and larger. The most important thing was that those legendary Pokémon gave this world vitality and rules, and everything was becoming better.

"Is that so... In other words, this is a completely new world..."

For Zhulan, coming to the frontier is also a brand new experience - a place independent of the Pokémon world and the real world where Qiao Ran is, a place with its own rules.

"Also, Pokémon in this world can recover faster, and the same is true for you now, after all, you have already transformed before. So if you need to recover your strength in the future, you can stay here for a while."

"By the way, how about you try living here today? There should be extra caves in Diancie that can be lived in."

“…Is this an advantage?”

Zhu Lan asked helplessly. However, when she heard Qiao Ran's next words, her interest was still lifted.

"Dianci... By the way, do your other Pokémon also have the ability to transform into human form? After all, that Diancie and you must have a very close relationship."

Recalling the battle, Zhulan could also see the bond between Qiao Ran and the Pokémon. Although Qiao Ran had said before that not all of his Pokémon could directly transform into human form, the relationship between them must reach a certain level. Then, this Diancie would definitely be one of them.

This is a trainer's sixth sense.

"You'll know when you meet her." Qiao Ran shook his finger again and showed a mysterious smile.

In response, Zhulan couldn't help but want to give him a cold look.

"Really? You're still keeping us in suspense at a time like this."

Why don't you just tell me directly?

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

The champion of each league is someone who loves Pokémon very much.

Although Qiao Ran felt that what he said might be a bit absolute, in the Pokémon world, a person who doesn't like Pokémon and is not liked by Pokémon has definitely not reached that level. Even though there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, there will only be one or two champion-level people among hundreds of millions of people.

During the morning she brought Zhulan here, she had established good relationships with most of Qiao Ran's Pokémon, especially those Pokémon that had left their names in legends. Zhulan knew too well what they liked and disliked.

"Yes, if you pursue true champions, the path you've chosen will surely be smooth sailing."

Even Reshiram, who is very picky about black and white, praised Kamelan, and Kamelan also released her other Pokémon to let them get familiar with this world.

However, what surprised Zhulan the most was the state of Yveltal after it was transformed into a human form. The bird-shaped Pokémon, which was originally so big, turned out to be a girl with twin tails after being transformed into a human form. This image... was completely different from what she had imagined.

Could it be that this is Yveltal's true nature?

In addition, in order to welcome their new companion, Suicune and Latias held a banquet as usual, and invited Ran and her Pokémon to join. While tasting the food made by Pokémon, Ran opened the door to a new world for the first time.

“…It tastes really good.”

If you must say, this is definitely much more delicious than the stew she made herself when she was camping alone in the wild.

No, even compared to the human chefs outside, the cooking skills of Latias and Suicune are definitely not inferior. Moreover, as Pokémon that have mastered the use of various energies, Suicune can control the taste of liquids, while other fire-type Pokémon can control the heat, and Latias can control cooking utensils to perform many actions that the human body cannot achieve.

This kind of cooperation can be called perfect.

Moreover, judging from their familiarity, this kind of banquet should be held frequently.

The state of these Pokémon living in the frontier had completely overturned Zhulan's understanding. Just like what she had seen when she went to Diancie before, a Pokémon actually had its own interests and hobbies, and found meaning in them... and it wasn't just Diancie, the same was true for Tanabata Bluebird.

...Are Pokémon truly independent entities? Or do all they care about is becoming stronger and defeating stronger opponents?

Before, Zhulan always thought so. After all, the Pokémon that could follow her all the way had a heart that yearned for strength. However, under the invisible barrier between humans and Pokémon, wouldn’t Pokémon have other hobbies and ideas?

It was like she became a scholar studying history while winning the title of champion.

"..."

Looking at the Pokémon and humans living happily together in front of her, Zhulan was still immersed in her own thoughts.

——Perhaps, this is the biggest gain she got after coming to the frontier this time.

Putting down the clean bowl and chopsticks in her hands, Zhulan seemed to have realized something, and these would become the basis for her to change her training methods.

Her journey as a trainer is far from over.

Chapter 661 [Next Destination]

In the morning, I just briefly introduced the situation of the frontier to Zhulan. After lunch, it was time for everyone to pack up and rush to the next city.

Before leaving, Qiao Ran and others made a special call to Sister Wan Shuang. After all, she had given them a lot of help when they were here before, and everyone was reluctant to part with this sister.

"Have you finally finished your training retreat? Hmm... If the next city is Yangcheng, then the gym leader should be that man... Yeah, yes, he's a trainer from the same period as me. As for strength... maybe he's a little stronger than me. I heard he found some new power in recent weeks... Oh, it seems to be a bit similar to the one you and Nancy fought before."

Hua Wanshuang also chatted a lot with Qiao Ran and others, and even revealed a little bit of inside information. She said this mainly because she hoped that Qiao Ran and others would not take it lightly. Although she could use her authority to help them jump the queue and let other gym leaders spend more time, the gym leaders would never let them down in the gym battle.

"Don't worry, we will deal with it seriously. We have been reborn during this period of time."

Qiao Ran looked at the girl next to him, and they couldn't help but smile at each other. The previous month... it was indeed a complete transformation. With the intensive battles every day, both Qiao Ran and the others had made tremendous progress. Mei and Mizuki's other Pokémon were also beginning to reach the edge of the King level. However, the biggest change was actually their respective mindsets.

They persevered through such a difficult and painful battle only because their companions were still by their side. Compared to this, being able to challenge the gym must be such a happy thing.

After finishing the call with Hua Wanshuang, Qiao Ran also contacted Lila, who had turned back into a worker. After she remembered the things in the Pokémon world that day, she felt extremely conflicted. She stayed alone for a long time and finally didn't know what to do.

As a result, the next job came up. With Lila's responsible personality, she couldn't just quit, so she could only finish the current battle train.

As for other things, let’s talk about them after I finish this trip.

"If you've made up your mind, go find Nazi in the Magic City. You can ask her if you have any questions. If you really want to find a job, she should be able to help you find one given your abilities."

Qiao Ran gave her the following advice, and Lila did not refuse.

"...Yeah...I understand. Thank you."

The memories that were confused with the past have gradually become clear, and Lila's mind has slowly formed the outline of an answer. After learning that she had lost ten years of memory in Alola, what she wants to do now, besides returning to the Pokémon world, is probably to find back what she lost.

"I should have an answer soon."

"There's no need to rush. It's better to wait until your condition slowly recovers."

Qiao Ran didn't know what it felt like to lose your memory and suddenly remember it, but not remember it completely. However, the only thing he could think of was that it was definitely not a pleasant feeling.

The only thing that can heal this kind of wound is probably time.

After continuing to chat with Lila for a while, Qiao Ran also told her that she could call him and chat with him at any time. After all, he also wanted to learn something from this powerful trainer.

"Okay, we've met the people we needed to meet, made the calls we needed to make, and it's time for us to leave."

After finishing everything, Qiao Ran took the girls out of the hotel, ending this stay that was neither long nor short.

It’s time to go to the next stop.

This time, Qiao Ran chose to travel by plane.

This should be the first time that he chose to take a plane during a trip. If he was still the same person who had just set out on a trip, he would definitely be disgusted with what he was doing now. How could a good trainer choose such an unorthodox way of traveling by plane? This is absolutely a blasphemy to the profession of trainer. It must be that only those who don’t train Pokémon well and just want to go out and have fun would do this.

In the end, Qiao Ran became the person he hated the most.

However, this time, he led astray not only

There is only himself, in addition to a current champion, there are two future champions, a superstar, and the eldest daughter of a large regional organization.

With such a large group of people around him, Qiao Ran felt a lot safer - with three champions combined, doesn't that mean he can't have the right to interpret the term "trainer"?

Now he can completely redefine what an orthodox trainer looks like.

"Once we get to our destination, are you going to challenge the gym?"

Zhulan looked at Qiao Ran beside her and asked in a low voice.

She was assigned a seat next to Qiao Ran. This wasn't just Qiao Ran's idea; she had a similar idea. Normally, if she were traveling by plane, she would probably read a book or something. However, after discovering the crisis in the Pokémon world, it was difficult for her to calm down and read other books. Only when she chatted with Qiao Ran could she calm down and relax.

"Yes, we have already made an appointment, and the gym owner there is willing to take time out to fight us, although it may take up a little of his off-get off work time."

"It's Mitsuki and I who will be fighting today. The others might have to be scheduled for tomorrow, so our trip to Alola... might have to be extended to tomorrow afternoon."

"Is this just a warm-up before the real battle?"

Following Qiao Ran's words, Zhu Lan also added a sentence. However, after hearing what she said, Qiao Ran couldn't help but twitch his eyes and looked at the ceiling above the plane.

"Warming up... that's the gym owner, so I'm afraid it's just warming up for you."

Zhulan smiled and didn't answer.

"Then I'll cheer you on. After all, I won't be participating in the battle tonight, but I will watch carefully from the sidelines. Once I have a general understanding of the situation, I'll formulate a training plan for each of you."

"As my teammates, you need to be able to treat this kind of battle as a warm-up."

Chapter 662 [Yangcheng]

"Then I'll leave it to you. I think the others will be happy too."

The champion's guided training and targeted arrangements are what many trainers dream of. Although everyone can guess that the next training will definitely be quite difficult and painful, these are nothing in order to gain stronger strength.

Trainers are not afraid of training. After all, these two words are engraved in their names and DNA.

"Then I will follow the strictest standards."

Zhulan looked at Qiao Ran with a smile, but when she found that he was completely unmoved and even had a hint of joy on his face, she gave up this little prank.

"...Although I'd like to say this, it's better to combine work and rest when it comes to training. We also have a lot of actual combat to do later, so we have to take this aspect into consideration."

"Why not start thinking about it now..."

As she was talking, Zhulan simply took out a notebook from her small bag and started writing and drawing on it. Based on her previous understanding of Qiao Ran and the others, as well as her experience fighting with them, she could roughly see some of their weaknesses and flaws. These things they themselves might not pay attention to, but Zhulan, as their "opponent" at the time, was the first to discover them.

Friends can only see each other's strengths, but only by standing in the opponent's perspective can they discover each other's weaknesses and flaws.

And these are exactly the areas that Qiao Ran, Meiyi and others need to strengthen.
