Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"...Latias, Mew, you two should go too."

The appearance of several of Zhulan's Pokémon directly changed the situation of the battle, and Qiao Ran also sent out several psychic elves who followed him into the cave. Of course, sending them over was not just to participate in the battle, but also to clean up the battlefield and put those Ultra Beasts into the ball, which was a very necessary process.

After all, only by putting it in the Poké Ball can we prevent secondary damage caused by strange beasts. At that time, whether it is handed over to the Ether Foundation or placed in the frontier, it can be managed in a unified manner.

"Qiao Ran!"

"...Zhulan! You're finally back!"

Seeing the appearance of Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan, everyone present couldn't help but get excited. This was probably not only because they could no longer hold on, Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan undoubtedly relieved their pressure. The most important thing was that after disappearing for an hour, they must have successfully and safely completed the mission they came here for.

Rescue Tapu Kokoro!

"Well, once we clean up the mess here, we can start retreating."

Qiao Ran nodded and smiled to indicate to everyone that everything was going well. Although Tapu Kokoro had not appeared in front of them when they left the ruins, Qiao Ran believed that it was only a matter of time.

Sure enough, not long after Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan joined the battlefield, a golden lightning shot out from the ruins, and that was the island god with the appearance of a "bird".

"Tapu Kokoro... Really! It really appeared!"

Kukui looked up at the sky. Even though he was already in his thirties, he couldn't help but get excited when he saw Tapu appear again after going through so many things.

“Koke!!!!”

Tapu Kekei in the sky also let out a loud cry, and several lightning bolts began to spread from its side. As the god of war, it had already thrown itself into the battlefield in front of it as soon as it appeared.

Only Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan couldn't help but worry.

This guy was knocked to the ground by Capu Butterfree before, but now he's still forcing his skills like this, is there anything wrong with it? ?

As expected, just as Qiao Ran and Zhulan expected, Tapu Kapu reappeared in the Pokémon world, and the fighting method it used was still reckless. Even when its physical strength was not right, it still wanted to rush into the pile of monsters and taunt them.

Fortunately, Qiao Ran took precautions and asked Latias, who had been teleporting and throwing the ball, to pull the opponent back. However, even after being pulled back, Tapu still looked quite reluctant and kept staring at Qiao Ran with an awkward expression on his face.

Different from the calm Moo Moo and the excited Diedie, Mingming is obviously a problematic child. He must remember what happened with Qiao Ran in that space before. I am afraid he himself

I don’t know how to react.

"Just take a rest first, we'll break out first."

Qiao Ran could only calm it down with a few words like coaxing a child. After all, he had experience in dealing with Pokémon with this kind of personality before, and Yveltal was much more powerful than this one.

As expected, these words had a good effect on Tapu Kokoro, stabilizing the situation. Qiao Ran also exchanged a look with Zhulan and the others, and basically reached an agreement on breaking out.

Dr. Kukui's situation wasn't a big problem either. With his strength, he would definitely be able to follow suit as soon as he saw Qiao Ran and the others taking action. Moreover, it was precisely because of Tapu's appearance that Kukui became ignited again, and he and Tiger King were like people who had been injected with chicken blood, and they felt rejuvenated.

"That's enough, let's rush out together!"

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

After leaving the war ruins, Qiao Ran and the others also started to return along the same route. Perhaps because he saw the number of strange beasts near the war ruins, Tapu Mingming did not stay there any longer, but started to move with Qiao Ran and the others.

By the time Qiao Ran and the others returned to the city, it was already night. They had set out in the morning and it took them a whole day to finish everything. Fortunately, although the process was full of thrills, the final result was still very satisfactory.

Although it was a pity that Diedie did not show up here, this also gave Qiao Ran a reason to go see her earlier.

Maybe I should go see her once soon.

However...according to Diedie's situation, Qiao Ran always has the feeling that she can find herself without even doing anything.

So, what exactly happened that night?

"..."

Qiao Ran was very puzzled, but when everyone arrived at the city checkpoint, they were surprised to find that Hala was already waiting there.

As the king of the island and a white-haired old man, he still sticks to his post and does not relieve himself of his responsibilities.

"Great...you guys really did it. Great!"

The moment he saw Tapu, the old man couldn't help but burst into laughter, and he looked like he had become decades younger.

"Oh my god! Tapu, it's really Tapu!"

"God of War!"

"Tapu Kokoro is here to help us!"

The other residents on the island also cheered and ran around excitedly to tell each other that Qiao Ran and others also benefited from Tapu and were directly welcomed warmly. However, Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan, who were still a little frightened from the previous battle, now seemed a little exhausted.

"Alright, alright, you guys can celebrate tomorrow. We all need to go to bed."

Kukui on the side seemed to have noticed this and directly stopped these enthusiastic islanders. After all, he was also a participant in the battle. As the strongest trainer guarding the outside of the ruins, he also bore a lot of pressure.

"Yes, you guys should focus on your own work first and come back tomorrow. Just have a good sleep today." Hara also nodded. Everyone was really too excited, but now was not the time to be excited.

"Qiao Ran! Mei Yi! ...I'm so glad you're all okay!"

A few familiar faces popped up from the crowd. Lillie and Mitsuki had also appeared at some point, likely waiting for quite some time. Behind them, Lusamine and Mitsuki's mothers were also present. For some reason, the two mothers seemed to be chatting with each other.

Wait… do these two have anything in common?

As Qiao Ran was thinking, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. For some reason, he had some very dangerous associations. So, he quickly stopped thinking. Miyue and Liliae... shouldn't say anything more, right?

"..."

His fighting spirit had not yet subsided when he saw such a horrible scene.

Fortunately, the focus now was still on Tapu Kokoro, the god of the island. After dismissing the onlookers, Qiao Ran and the others did not go back to their rooms to rest. They still had some issues they needed to discuss with Tapu Kokoro.

"Then let's go to my house. My house is bigger."

Hala made her proposal.

"Even though I said I didn't need such a big house, Kukui still persuaded me to live here."

"If you don't live here and live in that small room, the rest of us will have to live in an even smaller single room?"

Kukui smiled and shook his head. Although Hala alone could not use such a big house, he himself was a special symbol. Moreover, as the king of the island who guarded this place, he was indeed qualified.

"...It's a pity that my grandson Haou isn't around, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

Hala didn't say much, just led the way. This island king actually had a grandson named Hao who was about the same age as Mitsuki. It was said that Hao was a strong opponent in Mitsuki's island tour. However, Hao was not on Melemele Island at the moment. Maybe he was trapped somewhere.

It's hard to say.

"Let's go."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but say something to Zhu Lan behind him, and the other party nodded.

"Ah."

It seems that after returning from that space, the tacit understanding between the two people has increased a lot.

Chapter 724 [Rescue]

"Diedie appeared there through some method. According to my speculation, she must have used the remaining passage in the ruins."

"That's what it says, Loto."

At Hala's house, Qiao Ran and others sat down one by one. Qiao Ran also sent the translator General Rotom to start asking Tapu Momo some key questions.

"A remaining passage within the ruins? Wait, could it be that after we left there, there was still some remaining aura within the ruins?"

The information Tapu Mingming uttered immediately alerted Qiao Ran and the others. They had previously mentioned that after leaving that world, they had briefly explored the ruins. Could it be that they had overlooked something?

"koke."

Tapu nodded seriously.

"I came out a little late just to observe this. It does exist, but it's healing quickly and should disappear soon. As the god of the island, I can see it clearly."

"That's what it says, Loto."

Rotom's translation skills were becoming more and more sophisticated, and he could even imitate the other person's tone while translating, and the only thing missing was to display the other person's avatar on the screen at the same time.

"That world..."

Qiao Ran and Tapu Mingming were talking to each other, and only Zhulan nodded beside them. The other people, especially Kukui and others who had no idea what was going on, were full of question marks.

Fortunately, after Qiao Ran and Tapu Mingming finished their communication, they told each other all these things and what had happened there before.

There is nothing to hide from Professor Kukui and the others. Moreover, as senior intellectuals in the Pokémon world, Kukui and Barnett may have different opinions. The most important thing is that as the director of the Space Research Institute, Barnett will definitely have her own views.

"...So, you went to the opposite world of this one before? And both you and Zhulan went there?"

After hearing this, Barnett's face was also full of surprise.

"Sorry... My main research has always been on the other world, or rather, the spatial manipulation of this world. Regarding the other world, I've basically been exploring the location of the other world based on the situation of the Ultra Beasts. As for this anti-world, it's indeed a very interesting topic... It would be great if I could bring back some of the substances you mentioned."

"That substance... uh."

Qiao Ran and Zhu Lan exchanged a glance and quickly shook their heads. Zhu Lan's desire to observe that thing had led to a series of accidents. Furthermore, looking back, both Zhu Lan and Qiao Ran felt as if the thing "knew something," as if it had chosen the perfect moment to act like this.

"It's better not to think about that. Something might go wrong if you're not careful."

Neither Qiao Ran nor Zhu Lan would probably want to provoke those things for a while.

"Okay, okay." Seeing the two of them like this, Barnett seemed to calm down a little. However, once a scientist becomes interested in something, she will definitely not give up.

From now on, this strange anti-world will definitely fall within Barnett's research scope, especially since there are two people in front of him who have entered that world. This opportunity is too great.

"By the way, Tapu Kokoro, could you please restore the energy of the Pure Z Crystal on this island?"

Suddenly, Qiao Ran also remembered another more important matter. In addition to those necessary questions, restoring the Z-power on the island and allowing other trainers on the island to use this ability is also something that must be done. However, since they have been busy before, neither Qiao Ran and his group nor Tapu Kokoro probably have time to do this.

"..."

Tapu nodded silently, his face full of pride and seriousness.

Then, it spread out its arms, and golden energy emerged from its body. However, at this moment, a loud shout came from the room.

"Wait!"

The one who made the sound was Hala, the king of the island. In his panic, his voice scared everyone in the room, but he soon softened his voice.

"Wait, Tapu Kokoro, could you please use your power outside again?"

That just now made this old man tremble with fear. If he used his power in this room, wouldn’t he tear down this small house directly?

At the very least, I have to completely destroy the few electrical appliances I have, leaving the floor in a mess and myself in tears.

"..."

Tapu looked away, and though he seemed somewhat reluctant, he slowly withdrew his strength. This wasn't the first time he and Hala had met. As the king of the island, Hala had grown up under his watch.

Qiao Ran watched this scene from the side and couldn't help but smile. Although in that space, Kapu Mingming had put him and Zhulan in danger more than once, he also understood that

Fang was in a very abnormal state, and it was not his intention to do those things. Now it seems that this is also a very cute Pokémon.

However... unlike Tapu Butterfree, whose "gender orientation" is clearly visible, Qiao Ran really has no idea what the status of Tapu Kokoro is. If it is his own Pokémon, Qiao Ran can judge it from the other party's status, voice, or some more direct methods, but for Tapu Kokoro, Qiao Ran has no idea at all.

According to common sense, if a certain Pokémon has a population, there must be gender distinctions. However, if it is the only Pokémon in the original ecology like Tapu, it may be in some kind of "special" state.

After being stopped from using his power by Hala, Tapu Moo Moo also ran outside. A golden aura spread around him, and soon extended outward to a farther place, activating the energy hidden in the land.

"this is……"

“…Indeed, it worked!”

Both Hala and Kukui looked at the purest crystals in their hands. These gems were sparkling with crystal light, no longer the bleak and gray appearance before.

Not only them, I'm afraid other islanders have also discovered this.

"Well done." Qiao Ran couldn't help but praise him, while Tapu in the sky still crossed his arms, maintaining his aloof look, and just looked at Qiao Ran and nodded.

Tapu Kukui didn't know how to face this human who saved him and could command the butterflies. After all, his performance in that space was too bad. The dark side of his heart was completely aroused, and he was completely a shameless villain.

In the following time, Qiao Ran and others had a meal together. Taking this opportunity, Qiao Ran continued to ask Tapu Moo Moo many questions, and Tapu Moo Moo answered them one by one.

In that special world, it too felt restricted and controlled, and certain negative emotions within it were aroused, as if it had reached the other extreme. As for why it had become like that, Tapu Mingming himself could no longer recall. In that situation, the only thing it could maintain was its pride as a warrior.

Finally, Qiao Ran and others prepared to return to their original residence to rest, while Tapu Moo Moo flew into the sky. No one knew where he went, but he just said something softly before leaving.

"It says thank you."

"Yeah."

After hearing Rotom's translation, Qiao Ran couldn't help but shake his head. This guy was just as hypocritical as Yveltal. Of course, it might not be as obvious as Yveltal.

"Qiao Ran, today's words...that..."

Suddenly, Miyue beside him called out to him for some reason.

Today, everyone else worked hard all day, while she took a good day off in the safe zone. Although Qiao Ran had emphasized countless times that this was an opportunity that must be cherished, but... even during the "vacation", Meiyue thought about others countless times, and thought about what to do if they had problems.

The more she thought about it, the more guilty and uncomfortable she felt. In the end, she couldn't enjoy any "relaxing daily life" with her mother.
