Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

As for how to activate this power?

The trainer should first wear the bracelet inlaid with "Z-Crystal" on his wrist, and then dance the corresponding steps to a specific rhythm, so that the trainer, Z-Crystal and Pokémon can resonate with each other, and then the Pokémon can use the corresponding Z-move.

In Alola, this kind of dance is something that every trainer with a certain level of ability must master. Even Mitsuki has mastered the dance of each attribute. It is also an Alola tradition to dance battle first when in doubt.

However - with the events of Alola, the power of Z suddenly disappeared from this land, which is why Mitsuki had never used a Z move before.

"In Alola's legend, the island's guardian deity would bestow Z-Crystals upon its chosen trainers, granting them the power to use Z-Moves. Perhaps... because the island's guardian deity is no longer with us, the power that protected Alola from ancient times has also vanished."

Mitsuki also gave her own explanation for this. It seems that Alola's Z-power is not innate, and this strange power defined as "natural power" can only be used in Alola. No matter how hard you dance in other areas, it will not produce any reaction. This is very telling.

As a player, Qiao Ran actually knows more inside information. The source of Z-power is actually related to a Pokémon, a transcendent being of the same level as the creator god Arceus.

Even if we compare it with Yveltal, the difference is just like that between a big tree and a forest.

That Pokémon could be called the creator god of another world.

So...why would this Z-Move, which had disappeared from Alola, appear in a place like this? ???

And it was controlled by such a strange guy? ?

Not only Qiao Ran was in disbelief, even Lillie, a resident of Alola, had an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

why is that? ? ?

Could it be that Phoebe is also from Alola?

Qiao Ran and Lillie racked their brains to figure out the relationship between them, and Phoebe on the opposite side would not give them time to think.

"Let me show you my power!"

As Phoebe performed the cat dance, a blood-red power surged from her body and was injected into the body of Mimikyu in front of her at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Um……?"

Phoebe's dance was undoubtedly the Z dance representing the "ghost style", but looking at her movements, Lillie frowned slightly, as if she had discovered something very subtle.

On the other side, Qiao Ran no longer had time to pay attention to these things. If this was really the opponent's Z move, what would his Mimikyu use to respond to this skill?

Could it be that... he will lose?

"Come on, ghost-type secret technique——"

"The temptation of the endless dark night!!"

Phoebe's power was quickly injected into the body of Mimikyu in front of her, and blood-red energy began to boil in Mimikyu's body. Not only that, Mimikyu's original moves also changed in an instant. The powerful force made the ground make a muffled sound, and countless red and black shadows began to emerge from the surface, like endless vengeful spirits.

Dark shadows covered the earth and dark night descended upon the world.

The temptation of the endless dark night!

——The Z move in actual combat is an extremely terrifying move that can even change the environment!

"What a terrifying power... Is this a Pokémon skill?"

"No... this is too amazing..."

The assistants cried out in surprise and quickly stepped back a distance to avoid being affected by the skill, while the ghosts watching around actually danced happily in the air. These energies did not seem to scare them, but made them even more excited. In an instant, the demons danced wildly, like a hundred ghosts parading at night.

Looking at Phoebe, whose momentum was growing stronger and stronger, beads of sweat could not help but flow down Qiao Ran's forehead. The power of the Z-moves would be much higher than the original skill level. Roughly speaking, it would be doubled. Moreover, the ghost-type Z-moves had a very large range, so they had a "must-hit" effect. Even opponents who used defensive skills such as "hold" would be damaged!

Nowhere to hide!

Nowhere to hide!

“Oh no… If this continues, we’re really doomed…!”

Qiao Ran muttered to himself, feeling endless pressure on his body.

He couldn't lose, not even for Mimikyu.

It took so much effort to get her to stand on the battlefield and to build up her confidence. If she loses here, will she return to her old self?

No... absolutely not...

Qiao Ran didn't want to see that kind of ending.

His only hope now is to bet on this next move -

That was his and Mimikyu's only hope.

"Mimik-Q, Shadow Attack!!!"

Preemptive skill, must hit first ahh ...

“Miiiiii!!”

Qiao Ran's Mimikyu also seemed to have sensed something. In an instant, he exerted all his strength, gathered all the strength into his shadow, and quickly shot towards his opponent.

"No, that's not enough! This level of damage might not be enough to defeat the opponent in one move! Even if you add the previous burns..."

Qiao Ran gritted his teeth and made a decision he had never made before.

Before, he had not used much Viridian Power directly in battle because he was afraid that this power would burden his Pokémon.

But now, Qiao Ran can no longer hesitate.

When the opponent had already used the Z move first, Qiao Ran stretched out his left hand and closed his eyes slightly.

He explored the vague connection between himself and Mimikyu, and then - injected that power into her body.

——The power of Evergreen is a power that can be used in most situations.

Most of the time, this naturally includes the present.

Mimikyu, you must...must win!!!

Chapter 152 149 [The final winner! ]

The battle has come to an end, and both sides have unleashed their life-and-death skills.

The hearts of everyone present were already in their throats. At this moment, no one could stand up and say that they had seen the ending. Even a knowledgeable trainer like Mei could not make any judgment.

She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Qiao Ran would win in the end. No matter what, she was on Qiao Ran's side.

On one side, there are endless shadows wrapped in unparalleled energy, and on the other side, there is only a lonely

A thin shadow.

finally--

"boom!!!"

Waves of black shadows rolled across the venue, and when the energies began to collide, everyone's sight was overwhelmed by those shadows.

"..."

Qiao Ran narrowed his eyes. He didn't say anything, but held his trembling left hand and breathed heavily.

On the other side, Phoebe held her head high and looked at the embarrassed Qiao Ran with a smug look. No one could withstand this move. Even this young man who might be able to challenge her had no way to break through this power.

Her self-confidence has been tested for countless years.

——The endless black shadows dissipated, and there was only one Mimikyu left standing on the field. The other one had already fallen on the field, and it seemed that it had already lost consciousness.

Lillie, the referee, stared wide-eyed at the still-standing Mimikyu. However, the moment she saw its face clearly, her body trembled slightly.

——The familiar cherry-red flower was not on the coat of Mimikyu’s doll.

"...!"

"...The final victor is...the one from the mansion..."

Although she was unwilling to admit it, in order to fulfill her duties as a referee, Lillie suppressed her inner resentment and sadness. She had to announce the final result as soon as possible.

However - just when she was halfway through her words, an accident happened again in front of everyone.

——The Mimikyu that was still standing suddenly moved. She dragged her heavy body forward for a distance, then stretched out two "claws" made of black shadows from under the doll, picked up something from the ground, and finally——put it on her head.

After doing all this, her body finally stopped quietly, crawling weakly on the ground, breathing softly.

"that is……"

It wasn't until this moment that Lillie finally realized that her preconceived notion was wrong from the beginning. This standing Mimikyu... actually picked up the small flower on the ground and put it on its head skillfully.

The only one who can do this is...

Lillie covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

"impossible……"

Phoebe on the other side also showed an extremely surprised expression when looking at the scene in front of her.

In order to tell the difference between the two Mimikyuu, observing from a distance alone was not enough. Even she needed further confirmation. However, sometimes, some extremely small movements could mean everything.

"No...impossible...this...how is it possible...I..."

I… lost…?

Phoebe simply couldn't understand why her finishing move didn't defeat the opponent directly?

And...how did the other party defeat my Mimikyu?

Phoebe wasn't the only one confused. Qiao Ran, too, felt a sense of trance. Perhaps... his temporary transfer of Viridian's power had taken effect, or perhaps it was the power emanating from Mimikyu's own body that allowed her to unleash an extraordinary skill, using a single, preemptive strike to take down the opponent. Or perhaps, Mimikyu's high health simply allowed her to withstand the opponent's skills.

There may be countless possibilities, but Qiao Ran understands only one thing - his Mimikyu stood to the end, she did it.

She is the final winner!

"Crack, crack..."

Qiao Ran was the first to applaud, and then the stunned audience also applauded. Even the ghosts began to clap their hands excitedly, making strange noises from their mouths, praising the final winner.

"I... declare that the final winner is... Qiao Ran, and his Mimikyu!"

Amidst warm applause, Lillie announced the final result. Seeing this scene, tears welled up in her eyes. They were tears of excitement.

Qiao Ran walked forward and picked up Mimikyu, who was lying on the ground, completely powerless. Her body was originally very light, and now it was as soft as cotton.

"How about it? I told you you can win, right?" Qiao Ran rubbed her head and smiled.

"Mi..." Mimikyu was also lying in Qiao Ran's arms, responding softly.

“I…really…won…”

Everyone was looking at her, praising her, and applauding her.

Even the ghosts who had previously ignored her seemed to have changed their attitudes and began to laugh kindly for her...

Mimikyu closed her eyes slightly. At this moment, she seemed to really feel something.

This world...it seems like something is really starting to become a little different.

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

On the other side of the battlefield, Phoebe was immersed in the silence of defeat.

No... Impossible...

She hadn't experienced the feeling of failure for a long time, and this feeling had never happened since she became a superstar.

Could it be that... she is too far away from the real battle?

She is a true genius and an absolute chosen one. She was born with

Possesses powers beyond those of ordinary people.

Not only that, she also has extraordinary wisdom and can command Pokémon to make the most correct commands. Although she may not have many special combat methods, how could she lose when she has reached the pinnacle of wisdom and strength?

Until now, she had felt a sense of disbelief, but the scene happening in front of her undoubtedly proved this point.

What on earth did this man do?

How...how did he do it?

Phoebe gasped, raised her head, and looked in the direction of Qiao Ran.

She stared at everything about him, starting from his toes and ankles, all the way up, all the way up——

"?"

and many more……

Suddenly, as if she had been electrocuted, she noticed something that was not easy to see.

Something was glowing in the man's left hand.

what is that?
