Chapter 171

A dark aura emanated from Yveltal, as deep and imposing as a mountain.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Qiao Ran's forehead, and he immediately lay flat on the ground.

Can he resist?

No, he can't.

What do you suggest we do?

"Don't go anywhere else tonight."

Yveltal glanced around. Some Pokémon who were watching the scene had already looked over, but they had a general idea of what was going on and did not come forward to stop it.

"..."

Qiao Ran shivered. What would tonight... be like?

Originally, Qiao Ran planned to spend the night resting in Dianxi's Cave, but plans never keep up with changes.

He was now inside Yveltal's lair. Looking around and at the evil and ferocious Pokémon in front of him, Qiao Ran suddenly felt like a princess who had been kidnapped by an evil dragon.

Yveltal's lair, like her original style, is an underground Cave, but it is noticeably darker than Dianxi's.

"Let's begin."

Yveltal didn't say much, and simply lay down in the Cave. Qiao Ran's Tokiwa Power was a power that could make people feel very relaxed and comfortable, which also had special significance for her.

As the Avatar of Death, she had long been accustomed to the passing of life. From the moment of her birth, the only sensations she could feel were pain and violence.

Unlike Xerneas, who represents life, Yveltal has no positive power, and even mentioning her name is forbidden in some regions.

"..."

She could feel Qiao Ran's hand covering her back, and a special energy emanating from his palm—an energy that she originally hated and that represented life.

But...

Even she herself hadn't expected to experience such a peculiar feeling here.

As if some void in her heart had been filled, Yveltal even let out a sound, but she quickly Bide it.

Yveltal knew that, Qiao Ran

He must have heard her voice and sensed her emotions, but from the beginning until now, he has never mocked her actions. The two seem to be maintaining a tacit understanding, silently continuing their relationship.

'If it were that deer, it definitely wouldn't have acted this way.'

Ultimately, Yveltal didn't dislike Qiao Ran.

Although she always spoke harshly to Qiao Ran, it was she who was actually enjoying that feeling.

Gradually, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier—generally, she would only fall asleep at the end of her life cycle, but in this peaceful Wild Area, she was able to maintain the same sleep and rest as other Pokémon.

Although she can control her power and prevent the aura of death from emanating as long as she doesn't revert to the form of the Cocoon of Destruction, many Pokémon still fear her, and there are no signs of life settling near her den.

This is fine too.

She's already used to it anyway.

Before she knew it, Qiao Ran herself had fallen asleep.

Ultimately, it was because he had been constantly channeling the Tokiwa Power to Yveltal that he became so exhausted.

"Hmm..."

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Ran finally woke up groggily.

The sunlight outside was already pressing against his eyelids, but Qiao Ran frowned, feeling as if something strange was covering his body.

Qiao Ran pulled the thing up and took a look, then couldn't help but rub her eyes again.

What... thing?

What Qiao Ran holding in his hand was actually a girl with black hair in pigtails. She was very petite, but she was lying on his chest without any regard for her image, and strange liquid was dripping from her mouth.

"Wait... who are you?"

He had never seen this girl before.

Most importantly, this guy really doesn't seem to have anything on him at all!

"Hmm??"

After Qiao Ran did that, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

"... what?"

The other person also looked completely bewildered, seemingly unaware of the current situation. They glanced at Qiao Ran's face and muttered something unconsciously.

"Don't disturb my Rest, do you want to die?"

Qiao Ran: "..."

Upon hearing those words, Qiao Ran froze, and then he roughly understood everything.

He looked around; Yveltal was no longer in the enormous lair, but instead stood the girl before him.

The answer is obvious.

"Yee... Ertal?"

">

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.

"What?"

The girl rubbed her eyes, and then she realized that something was wrong.

"Wait... what am I doing...?"

Yveltal's sleepiness vanished instantly. She stared blankly at her hands, then looked up and down at her body.

"This is..."

Everything seemed to have happened without their knowledge. Not only was Qiao Ran unaware of what was going on, but even Yveltal himself was clueless about what had happened.

Despite having witnessed it countless times with other Pokémon, Yveltal was clearly unprepared for it to happen to him.

"I... this is..."

Yveltal looked at her own body again, then at Qiao Ran, and her cheeks quickly flushed red.

There's nothing...

She has nothing on her now...

Just like any other human cub.

Most importantly, she recalled her memories from when she was asleep, and it was clear that Qiao Ran had been watching her for a long time.

"Abnormal..."

Huge black and red Dual Wingbeat suddenly stretched out from her back, and her black tail began to sway behind her.

By returning to a portion of her body, Yveltal also regained some of her original power.

"What... what do you want to do?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Qiao Ran's forehead. Looking at the enraged Yveltal, it seemed too late to say anything.

A destructive beam of light shot out, blasting Qiao Ran straight out of his lair.

"Go to hell! You pervert!"

"... Still alive."

Qiao Ran, who had been blasted away by the cannon, touched his cheek. Although his whole body ached, he wasn't seriously injured. Yveltal had managed to control his strength.

Moreover, there was no aura of death within this Energy Beam, proving that Yveltal possessed control over his own "Rules".

So, what she probably wanted to do was just kick him out.

But... I never expected she could even Humanoid Transformation.

Qiao Ran had previously thought that his relationship with Yveltal wasn't that good, and that she sometimes wouldn't listen to him when he asked her to do things. But now it seemed that things weren't as he had imagined.

Qiao Ran looked around at his surroundings, then limped away into the distance.

In short, Pokémon first.

Breakfast time.

Not only did the injured Qiao Ran attract attention, Yveltal's new look also caught everyone's eye.

Wearing a white dress and sporting black hair, the petite girl had a blush on her face that seemed to come from nowhere. She held her head high and stared fiercely at everything around her.

As for her Dress, it seems to have been borrowed from Nihilego. Among all the Pokémon, Nihilego is the only one with a similar size to her. Dianxi and Vulpix are too petite, and Suicune is too mature, so neither is a suitable choice.

However, Nihilego's only clothing consisted of those white Dress, Yveltal disliked but had no choice but to wear anyway.

Wow, that's delicious...

Mei cupped her cheeks and couldn't help but sigh, but before she could finish her sentence, she was instantly killed by that fierce gaze and swallowed the rest of her words.

He will die.

You really can die.

"... It's really... really good."

Lillie carefully considered her words, and only after realizing that Yveltal didn't react much did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Even in its adorable form, its intimidating presence as an embodiment of death remains; even a single glance from that gaze can send a shiver down one's spine.

Only someone as fearless as Rotom would dare to keep filming like this.

"What a great photo, Rotom."

Qiao Ran silently gave her a thumbs up in his heart. It seemed that Yveltal didn't like this white Dress, and she probably wouldn't have another chance to wear it in the future.

Take as many photos as possible now, as they will be irreplaceable in the future.

Rotom, yyds.

Urged on by Yveltal's insistence that she "want to buy new clothes," Qiao Ran and her group decided to speed up their journey.

She didn't want to spend these days moving around in this strange outfit; after all, it didn't reflect the dignity she should have.

However, Yveltal's idea coincided with Qiao Ran's. Having already completed his Pokémon collection and transitioned to the "Fairy Type, it would definitely be a very long process for Qiao Ran to collect all 100 Fairy Type.

Therefore, continuing to wander in the Forest is no longer of much use.

What Qiao Ran needs now is to go to the city, get the next Badge, and earn some money for his already impoverished family.

Although there is some distance between Hangcheng and Magic City, the car had already traveled a considerable distance by the time Nebby used Teleport to move Qiao Ran and the others. Therefore, Qiao Ran and Mei arrived at a town near Magic City in a short time.

"... Sure enough, once we got to this range, the cell phone signal improved significantly."

Qiao Ran took out his phone and looked at it for a while. In order to keep his phone powered up, he had specially stored a certain number of Charge banks in the Wild Area. If he had Electric-type Pokémon, he wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.

Why can't Mimikyu Transform into Pikachu?

"Starting from here, we should be able to reach Magic City in the next day or two. It's more like the suburbs than a village or town."

"And... it looks like there's Pokémon Center here too."

Qiao Ran continued looking at his phone for a while, thinking that he might be able to spend the night at the Pokémon Center. Not only would he save on food and lodging costs, but he could also get the latest news. That's why the Trainer's Coaching states at the beginning that the first thing Trainer should do upon arriving in a new area is to report to the Pokémon Center.
