Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Miyue called her friend's name, looked at him deeply, then turned around firmly and ran towards the transparent container without looking back.

"...!"

For some reason, when the black Xuwuide saw Miyuki's actions, an anxious expression appeared on his face for the first time. He hurriedly stretched out his tentacles and sprayed venom towards where Miyuki was.

"Block her attack!"

Mitsuki released her Pokémon.

A bunch of poison-type Pokémon appeared on the ground and used their skills to block the venom of Void. The venom of Void might be troublesome to other Pokémon, but for the "Poison Master" Mitsuki, it is actually the easiest way to deal with it.

“…………&……@@)#*(@!!”

Meiyue's actions aroused the anger of the black Xuwuide. She made a strange sound. Under the influence of this sound, the other Xuwuide around her speeded up their swimming speed, and their numbers increased.

And those Xuwu Yide who were close also launched an attack on Miyue——

"really……"

Looking at the countless jellyfish around her, as well as the venom and tentacles they shot out, there was not a trace of panic on Miyue's face. Instead, a well-planned smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

There was no need for her to panic, because she knew that Qiao Ran had made the right bet this time.

She couldn't help but think of the discussion Qiao Ran had with her under the bridge some time ago.

Before, she didn't really believe in the boy's strategy, but now - for the first time, she felt impressed by Qiao Ran.

"Although our mission objective is clear, there is still a problem: how can we find our target? It is definitely unwise to search everywhere. We must think of a practical way to make her appear in front of us on her own initiative."

The boy stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming sharply.

"Oh right, I lured out the Xuwuide in that room before. I hadn't encountered them in other places before. Why did it only happen when I went to that room? And as soon as I left the room, I encountered that black one..."

"Well... Actually, I often run into her around here, so I chose to live under this bridge..."

Mitsuki raised her hand in response.

"Around here?" The boy frowned, as if he had grasped something.

"Well, although it's nearby, the area is still very large, and this part happens to be where the most Xuwuide gather." Meiyue nodded.

"Then let me ask you another question. The person in the container is Lusamine, right? Why is she frozen?"

"This...actually, it was Lillie who took the initiative to do this." Meiyue's expression was a little struggling. She turned her eyes away, not daring to look at Qiao Ran.

"Lillie's mother had been bewitched by an Ultra Beast, and her mental state was already very abnormal. If she were left in such an environment any longer, she would go mad... Lillie had no choice but to freeze her mother and wait for everything to end before thawing her... As long as she was frozen, she wouldn't be targeted by those Void Eids..."

"So, all of this was Lillie's own decision? Lillie... Lusamine..."

The boy's brows frowned and then relaxed, but soon he covered half of his face and let out an involuntary laugh.

"what happened to you?"

Miyue looked at him in confusion. Could it be that this guy was under too much pressure and went crazy?

"No, I'm fine. I just thought of something funny."

Qiao Ran waved his hand, telling Meiyue not to worry, but the smile on his face did not fade at all.

“Everything—it’s all connected.”

"Our previous assumption was that Xuwuidu controlled Lillie, seized her mind, and controlled her body. But have you ever considered... perhaps Lillie's obsession would also affect the Xuwuidu in turn? If we follow this line of thought, many of our problems can be solved.

And it’s solved.”

Qiao Ran spoke word by word, but the words out of his mouth made Meiyue's eyes widen.

That shocking conclusion completely overturned her thoughts.

"You mean..."

This...how is this possible? !

Chapter 76 074 [Hunting: Single Point Break]

Countless times—Miyue couldn't remember how many times she had tried to wake up Lillie, but... every time, Lillie made her suffer, as if she had completely forgotten her.

Gradually, Mitsuki began to no longer believe that Lillie's personality could be awakened through ordinary methods.

"Liliae's growth trajectory is different from that of ordinary people. She lost her father when she was young, so her mother has always been her support."

Qiao Ran analyzed calmly.

"So, the reason why the black Xuwuide appeared after I entered that room wasn't because I triggered some mechanism or made too much noise, but because I entered there."

"Is she... afraid that you will hurt her mother?" Miyue's voice trembled.

"No, quite the opposite."

Qiao Ran's gaze fixed and he narrowed his eyes.

"She's afraid of something else—she's afraid we'll rescue Lusamine."

"If we fail to rescue Lusamine, she will face an extremely tragic end. Not only will she be parasitized, but she will also become mentally ill. If we succeed, Lillie will completely lose her inner support and become a completely controlled puppet."

"No matter which scenario, it's not what Lillie wants to see. That's why her obsession is so deep that it even affects Xuwuide's own thoughts."

Having said that, Qiao Ran's aura began to rise, as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath.

"And this is exactly what we should take advantage of this time!"

"what do you want to do?"

Mitsuki's voice was trembling, and she couldn't help swallowing. The boy in front of her had an outstanding mind and logic, as well as tremendous energy and enthusiasm. She even had a feeling that anything this guy said would succeed.

"What I need to do is very simple. I will force that Xuwu Yide into a corner. Once I force her into a corner, she will reveal the flaw we need."

Qiao Ran raised his head and looked at the broken bridge high in the sky.

"The best way to defeat an invulnerable person is to make her angry."

--------------------------------

Time returns to normal track.

In the dark room, Miyue was facing the siege of countless Xuwuide, however, she was giving orders without panic, as she had fought with these Xuwuide countless times.

"Super Bad Star! Hot water!"

"Wow!"

The Super Bad Star's body trembled, and it unexpectedly spewed out waves of scorching heat from its mouth, impacting the Xuwuids. Although the Super Bad Star's attack power was not strong, the double damage of the hot water skill still forced back most of the "jellyfish".

While commanding the Pokémon to resist, Mitsuki was also trying her best to get closer to the transparent container. Her Pokémon could not defeat the Void, and it was also difficult for those Voids to defeat her.

It didn't take long for Mitsuki to reach the container. Lusamine, a fair-skinned girl, appeared before her eyes. Her impressive figure was far superior to that of a young girl like her. Even though she was already a mother of two, Lusamine's figure had never changed, and her appearance had only grown more beautiful with age.

However, Miyue did not pay attention to these. Her eyes were on the operation panel next to the container. She stretched out her hand and fiddled with the operation panel.

"Clap clap clap."

The knocking sounds continued to ring out. Of course, Mitsuki would not really control the operating panel to release Lusamine from the container. Her purpose in doing so was actually very simple. She just wanted to anger the Xuwuide.

“**&(@!^w&————!!!!!!”

Sure enough - not long after Miyue did this, the Xuwuide let out a strange and shrill scream, and her body twisted and trembled.

The other Hollowids were like chickens with their blood pumped up, and began to launch suicidal attacks on Mitsuki's Pokémon one after another. The black Hollowid also rushed towards Mitsuki, and they all wanted to stop Mitsuki's actions.

Venom, tentacles, and rocks kept flying from the sky, and even Mitsuki's well-trained Pokémon team began to feel overwhelmed.

Miyue gritted her teeth. She knew it wasn't the right time yet, but she had to create an opportunity. If she didn't, the black Xuwuidu would probably never get close enough to attack her. So, she pounced on the controller and began entering the real passwords one by one.

"!"

Seeing this, the black Xuwuyide screamed and rushed towards her.

"Everyone attack together! Attack that black Xuwuid!"

Mitsuki stopped instantly.

Her own hands, she turned her head and looked directly at her target.

She knew the time had come! Now!

Under her command, Owleye, Alola Slime, Squawk, Flame Queen, Dragonite, Dragonite... all her Pokémon began to rush forward and released their most powerful skills at the Black Hollowid.

The sniper tree owl stretched out its wings, pulled the shadow's bowstring, and shot an arrow made of shadow; the flame queen lizard made a strange posture and spewed out scorching flames from its mouth... Countless skills intertwined in the air, and actually lit up the room extremely brightly.

However, the black Void was not afraid. Her figure drifted in the air, hiding behind layer after layer of Void. Even in her rage, there was still a part of her consciousness that was not affected by Lillie.

"boom!!!"

The countless skill waves exploded in the air, and in the end, they only injured some of the white Xuwuide in the front.

"laugh……"

The sneering voice echoed once again, like an ethereal sound echoing in the sea, but there was no rhythm in it, only thick mockery.

However - something seems to have changed this time.

"You thought you dodged it?"

Mitsuki also scoffed.

The most pitiful thing in the world is to be complacent about your own intelligence before falling into a trap.

"?" Xuwu Yide had no idea what this human woman was doing.

However, at the same moment when Mitsuki showed this expression, the ground beneath the feet of the black Xuwuid suddenly exploded, and the accumulated energy rushed up and submerged her body.

"boom!!!!"

The ground roared, and energy passed through Xuwuide's body, making her feel unprecedented pain, and her tentacles curled up.

The energy of the ground had four times the power to restrain her, and the pain was unimaginable.

At the same time, a thick stream of water hit her face. The attack came like a storm, leaving her no chance to rest.

“!*!!!”

Xuwu Yide screamed and was hit by two restraining skills in a row. Her body actually fell crookedly from the air.

"..."

She raised her head from the ground in a daze and weakness, and the first thing she saw was a cute Pokémon wearing a pink skirt floating in the air, and a blue water wolf with ribbons wrapped around its body. Next to them stood a familiar boy.

He clapped rhythmically.

"Didn't expect that? I knew you would definitely run to the back when dodging skills. After all, that's your habit, right? And I have to thank you. You gathered all the nearby Xuwuidu to besiege Miyue here, creating a great opportunity for my sneak attack. No one could spot me at all—"

As the boy spoke, a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, it's almost time to end it. It'll be hard to handle if we wait until you recover. Diancie, Suicune, give her the final blow!!!"

Following the man's command, the two Pokémon beside him mercilessly released their strongest skills.

"Ti——!"

"Ow!!!"

The black Xuwuide's body was completely submerged in the energy pouring out from the earth and water.

"This time, we win!! Xuwu Yide!"

Chapter 77075 [End: Retreat]

After enduring several rounds of earth power and water cannons, even this level-40 Xuwu Yide gradually lost her combat capability. She struggled unwillingly on the ground for a few times, but was like a bamboo rat that had suffered from heatstroke - after bouncing for a while, she fell to the ground and passed out.

"Mizuki! We can retreat now!!"

Seeing this, Qiao Ran shouted loudly to Meiyue, who was still surrounded by Xuwuyide. When the other Xuwuyide saw their leader fall, they also started to riot. Many Xuwuyide even gave up besieging Meiyue and turned to attack Qiao Ran.

"Vulpix! Tanabata Bluebird! Come out and help too!"

Qiao Ran released all his Pokémon at once. In order to launch a sneak attack, Qiao Ran did not call out Vulpix and Tanabata. The reason for not bringing Vulpix was that he was afraid that her freezing would interfere with Suicune's water cannon, and as for Tanabata, it was because her appearance was a bit too flashy... If she was outdoors, she could disguise herself as a cloud, but indoors, where could there be clouds?

However, now that leader Xuwuide has fallen, they have become a powerful fighting force, able to shine on the battlefield.

A large group of Xuwuide turned their target towards Qiao Ran, which also relieved Meiyue's pressure. Meiyue gritted her teeth, stepped over the various gravel and venom on the ground and began to move towards the exit.

After this battle, Miyue's already tattered clothes were corroded by the poison, and now she was basically wearing only underwear and tattered strips of cloth.

"hurry up!"

While keeping an eye on the situation on Meiyue's side, Qiao Ran gave instructions to Diancie and the others, telling them that as long as Meiyue successfully escaped from there, they would prepare to retreat.

"Hot water, hot water, hot water, hot water!"
