Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

"..."

Youli did not refute Mary's words, but snorted at Qiao Ran. In fact, it was not so much that she did not believe Qiao Ran's identity, but rather that she did not believe Qiao Ran as a person. As a fan of Mary, she naturally could not accept the fact that a man suddenly appeared and had a close relationship with Mary.

"what."

Qiao Ran on the side didn't know what to say, so - everyone then moved closer to the Spike Town little by little in this awkward atmosphere.

However, during the time in the car, Qiao Ran

He was also observing the sword in his hand.

——This is a weapon that looks very old, and the originally sharp blade has become scarred. Not only that, this sword is simple and luxurious, as if it is not only a weapon for battle, but also a symbol of some kind of power.

"When will this thing come out of my hand?"

Qiao Ran sighed inwardly. This long sword not only affected his various actions, but also affected the activation of his Evergreen Power. Unless he used the sword to stab people and then transfer the power through the sword...

"...Looks like it's possible?"

Qiao Ran's eyes lit up and he silently took note of this. Although this sword looked powerful, the blade was not sharp at all. Even if he stabbed someone with it, it probably wouldn't cause any harm.

Of course, in order to solve the "sword" problem once and for all, Qiao Ran could also learn from a certain Eastern hero named Yang who traveled the world with one arm. However, when everything was still unclear, Qiao Ran had no intention of using a knife on the sword, let alone cutting off his own arm. After all, this area was Galar, an area with the legend of sword and shield.

The sword and the shield are the themes of the legends of this region. In the legend, there is a hero holding a sword and a hero holding a shield. Together they repelled foreign invaders and protected the peace of Galar.

——So, this sword is very likely related to that legendary Pokémon. This is also the first legendary Pokémon in history that is clearly mentioned in the game as having sister attributes.

Qiao Ran still wanted to see what this Pokémon looked like.

Not only that, Qiao Ran actually had some little thoughts in his heart - all this time, Qiao Ran had never seen any legendary Pokémon other than his own. Was it because those legendary Pokémon were so rare... or was there some other reason?

The legendaries of Alola and Unova have disappeared, so are the legendary Pokémon of Galar also missing?

With all kinds of questions in his heart, Qiao Ran returned to Spike Town with Mary and Youli. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the town, they were welcomed by the Shouting Team.

"Little Marie!!! Special Attack Captain!!!"

“Ooo ...

The excited shouts of the people and the shrill sounds of the vuvuzela mixed together, creating a wonderful scene. Someone even performed an impromptu rap on the side of the road. Qiao Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.

This town is so punk, worthy of being the town where the Dark-type Gym is located.

"Everyone, the danger has been resolved, don't worry."

Mary greeted everyone and tried hard to force a smile on her face. However... because she was not very good at making such expressions, Qiao Ran in the back row thought she was having some strange facial spasm or something no matter how he looked at her.

However, Youli, who was sitting in the same car with Qiao Ran, had a different opinion.

"Little Mary...you have such a beautiful smile, oooooooooooooooooo...I'm so touched..."

Faced with Mary's "smile", she held her cheeks and laughed, and even took out her mobile phone from her skirt, trying hard to capture this rare moment.

"..."

Looking at her infatuated look, Qiao Ran could only move aside silently.

The assimilation ability of this Shouting Team...isn't it too amazing?

This guy is a heroine like Mei and Mitsuki! ————————————————————————————————————————

When they arrived at Spike Town, Yuli separated from everyone else. As the captain of the special forces team, she needed to store the supplies she brought back this time. Even a little bit of gasoline would be very useful.

"Master Qiao Ran, do you still have no place to live?"

As for Mary, she first arranged accommodation for Qiao Ran, which was indeed a very important issue. However, when she brought Qiao Ran to a house, they encountered a large number of cheering teams at the door. They seemed to want to stop Mary and Qiao Ran outside.

"Little Mary, this won't do!"

"Little Mary, this is really dangerous..."

"Why should I be with him..."

The members of the Shouting Team were saying something that Qiao Ran couldn't understand, while Mary took a step forward and stood in front of Qiao Ran.

"Don't worry, he's fine, really fine, he just lives here."

"but……"

The Shouting Team still seemed unwilling to give in, but under Mary's repeated requests, they retreated. There was no other way. What fans could refute their idol?

"Master Qiao Ran, please stay here first."

After doing all this, Mary took out the key to open the door, and looked at Qiao Ran behind her, motioning him to go in first.

The cheering team at the door, with depressed expressions and as if their spirits had collapsed, looked at Qiao Ran who walked in, gritted their teeth in hatred, and flames burned in their eyes.

It's not over yet! They haven't given up yet!

"Quick! Go get the special attack captain!"

Chapter 170 167 [Can: Cannot]

"Sorry...it's a little messy in here, I hope you don't mind too much...a lot has been going on lately, so I haven't had time to tidy it up...it's not usually like this."

Following Mary, Qiao Ran entered the small house.

The decoration in the room is simple and monotonous, and most of it is in black and white. In the corner of the living room, there are some musical instruments such as drums, bass, and guitars.

"here it is……"

As Mary said, it is indeed a bit messy here, but in the chaos, there are also traces of life.

"This is my home."

Mary looked back at Qiao Ran, with some helplessness in her eyes, as if asking Qiao Ran why he asked such a question.

"Besides my parents, the only people living here are Yuri and I. My brother went to Quanguan City to provide support, so he just happened to have a room vacant..."

Unlike most families with only one child, Marie has a biological brother, and this brother is one of the gym leaders of the Galar League. Even among all the gym leaders, Marie's brother is considered to be one of the stronger ones.

“So where I live is…”

His brother was not there, and there was only one room left. Qiao Ran basically understood what Mary was going to say next.

"Well... there was originally another empty room, but Yuri already lives there."

Mary continued to explain.

"If my brother knew, he would definitely understand."

As she spoke, she used the spare key in the living room to open the door of a room - it was a very clean room with band posters and a few musical instruments hanging on the wall, and nothing else.

"My brother is the owner of this place and the lead singer of the Spike Town band, so there are a lot of strange things here. He gave me the key to the room before he left... I'm afraid he also knew this time was very dangerous..."

Speaking of her brother, Mary's eyes looked a little lonely. Now the whole of Galar was in danger, and her brother had gone against the flow to the most dangerous place. It was absolutely impossible for her to say that she was not worried.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Looking at her lost look, Qiao Ran didn't know what to do. He could only try to comfort her. Those who could become gym leaders were not good-for-nothings. Qiao Ran still believed in their abilities.

"Yeah...it's definitely going to be fine."

Listening to Qiao Ran's words, Mary nodded slightly.

"..."

Then, the room fell into silence, and Mary stood there motionless.

"..."

"...?"

After a while, it was Qiao Ran who blinked first, a little confused about what had happened.

Not only was Mary stuck in the spot—he himself was stuck in the spot as well.

"What happened?"

Why did you suddenly stop talking???

When Mary heard Qiao Ran's voice, her breathing paused, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she took a few steps back like a frightened rabbit.

At that moment, she had been thinking about what to say, but she couldn't think of any other topics for a while, so she just stopped working.

Even though this wasn't the first time this had happened, how could she come up with such a reason?

"Nothing... nothing, nothing else..."

She kept walking backwards until she reached the door.

"If...if you have any questions, you can...call me. My room is just across the corner..."

Mary held onto the door, with only half of her head sticking out, covering her slightly red face.

After saying this, she disappeared directly at the door. However, the next moment after she disappeared, a cry comparable to a vuvuzela came from the other side.

"Mary! You're not really...bringing that guy back!!"

"...!"

"Wait...wait for me! Don't run!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

"Ah... Yuri... this is... my decision. I'm sure my brother will..."

"That's not possible either!"

"ah……"

"..."

Listening to the chaotic noises outside, Qiao Ran in the room could only stare with his eyes wide open in shock. What on earth was going on?

In addition to the chaotic footsteps, there were also a lot of chaotic shouting.

It wasn't until a short-haired cuckolded girl dragged the innocent-looking Mary back into the room that Qiao Ran finally realized that Mary had completely failed in this hand-to-hand combat.

"Good afternoon, both of you?"

Qiao Ran didn't know what to say, so he could only say hello.

"Good afternoon..." Mary replied very straightforwardly.

On the other side, You Li glared at Qiao Ran.

"Not at all! Hey, how can you live here? This is little Mary's house, and this is her brother's room!"

"..."

Qiao Ran ignored her, rolled his eyes, and continued to pack his luggage.

Arguing about these things would be of no use to him, so he might as well do more.

Since he was conducting scientific research when he traveled through time, he carried some spare equipment on his back, and he also happened to have brought some spare clothes.

Besides, even if he forgot to bring clothes, he could go to the frontier and get some spare ones. These problems were not a problem for him at all.

"I...let him live here."

Qiao Ran did not answer, but Mary, who was dragged over by Youli, began to defend Qiao Ran. This was a decision she made alone, and she did not think there was anything wrong with doing so.

"And even if my brother knew, he would definitely agree."

"Your brother will be mad at you."

Yuli almost vomited blood. The cheering team was worried to death, but Mary, the real leader, had no sense of crisis at all. She actually invited a boy whom she had met for less than a day back home and even gave away her brother's room.

If the brother came back and found that not only his room was occupied, but his sister was also abducted, and there was an extra person in the house, he would probably die on the spot.

"Impossible, my brother is a good man... He will definitely understand. Even if I gave the room to someone else without my permission, he will definitely forgive me."

Even though she was stopped by others, Marie still did not change her mind. Moreover, she was a dark-type trainer. Although she usually behaved very well, the more she was stopped by others, the more she wanted to resist.

"Stop talking, Yuri. I've already decided that he should live here... If you still don't agree, then you can just stay in my room."

"Varied……"

Yuri was shocked when she heard what Mary said.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yuli finally lost her temper, just like the cheering group at the door. She had never expected that Mary would be so stubborn on this matter.

"Okay... okay... then... let's do this."

Faced with Mary's firm will, she had no choice but to surrender. She absolutely could not confront Mary head-on.
