Chapter 222

Although Suicune became the most eye-catching protagonist in the video, it doesn't mean that the other girls were completely relegated to supporting roles.

Besides Sabrina, who already has a certain level of fame, Mei's unique fashion sense and performance style have also attracted a lot of attention. Some Performing Family in the comments section have even begun to reflect on whether increasing the power of their skills and controlling them precisely to create an Unnerve that is about to explode but ultimately doesn't could also be categorized as a performance technique.

As for Lillie, despite her lack of experience, she is the one who has generated the most discussion among the four, second only to Qiao Ran. This is not only because of her pure appearance and unique temperament, but also because Nihilego is a type of Pokémon that has never been discovered before.

"Tentacool floating in the air?"

"This jellyfish is so strange..."

"I understand! This is also a special evolutionary form of the Tentacool!"

Although there are many jokes in the online comments, the ethereal beauty of Nihilego is still captivating. Each Ultra Beast has its own unique aura, which instinctively makes people in this world feel uncomfortable. However, as the aura gradually dissipates, its inherent beauty becomes acceptable.

Just like the Nebby lying in Lillie's arms right now.

"Is this your idea? To spread influence through videos like these and attract people like me."

Having witnessed the entire process of Qiao Ran and the others sending the video, Cynthia couldn't help but sigh. Although she personally didn't have any particular likes or dislikes about performing, she had to admit that this was indeed the best choice.

"After we leave Magic City, we'll have to rely on Sabrina as the next Trainer."

Qiao Ran and the others couldn't stay in one place for long, but the Trainer who were attracted by the video needed someone they could always find, so Sabrina, who stayed in Magic City, was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Of course, we'll have to wait until she becomes the Gym Leader."

Do you think I might not be able to get the job?

Sabrina completely disregarded Qiao Ran's words. In this world, was there anyone more suitable than her to be the leader of Psychic type Gym Leader?

Even that Nian Hongyu

Although her Psychic are not bad, she still lacks a few years of experience in Pokémon. Competing with her at this level is like throwing an egg against a rock. Even if Nian Hongyu is very similar to her former self, she is still just the person she used to be.

The current Sabrina is only stronger than she was back then.

Night.

The girls seemed to have something to say, and they all gathered in Sabrina's room to rest. However, Qiao Ran had a pretty good idea of what was going on. It was probably that Lillie and Mei, who were participating in the Performance Competition for the first time, had some ideas and wanted to talk to a few people.

As for Qiao Ran... he couldn't possibly infiltrate them, and even if he did, he would be instantly killed by Sabrina and Cynthia, so he could only be excluded.

"..."

After Qiao Ran finished washing up, he looked at his empty bed and had the idea of taking a short walk in the Wild Area. However, just as he was thinking this, a small figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"...!"

"Nebby... you scared me!"

After seeing clearly what had suddenly appeared, Qiao Ran was relieved. He had thought that Hoopa from the Unova Region had been resurrected and had suddenly transferred several Genesect to his side.

If it weren't for the fact that the outline of that thing looked familiar, he would have drawn his sword right then and there.

It wasn't that his reaction was excessive; rather, he had been frightened like this the whole way, and if he wasn't careful, no one could predict what would happen next.

"You want to come along too?"

"Mo... Momo!"

Nebby nodded vigorously. It couldn't understand what Lillie was saying while holding it, and it was much more interesting to play with Qiao Ran. Besides, it had been to the Wild Area a few times before, and the Pokémon there spoke in a beautiful and pleasant voice. It loved that place.

"All right."

Qiao Ran couldn't do anything with this childlike Pokémon. Unlike Dianxi and Vulpix, which looked like children but were already mature, Nebby was indeed a child who was very curious about its surroundings. As they traveled, this child gradually learned all sorts of things and became quite different.

In legend, the pure Child of the Stars senses everything around them, forms Star Cocoon that absorbs light, and finally shines forth to become their final form.

Qiao Ran didn't know what it would ultimately look like, but after seeing so much, it should come to its own conclusion.

The Pokémon Wild Area remains as peaceful and quiet as it was in the beginning, with each Pokémon having its own den and territory, forming a complete system.

Although Qiao Ran has been trying his best to keep track of Fairy Type Pokémon lately, he is still far from reaching 100. It will probably be a long time before the next Pokémon appears.

"Where do you want to go? I'll take you to find them."

Nighttime is also the time for Pokémon to rest, so Qiao Ran couldn't call them all out. He had to spend some time going to their respective dens by himself. Pokémon, the Wild Area wasn't too big, and the Pokémon wouldn't choose dens in very far places. Otherwise, Qiao Ran would have been exhausted.

"Mo... Mo mo mo!"

"Sister Dianxi and Sister Vulpix?"

Qiao Ran chuckled, wondering why Nebby had chosen the two that looked the smallest. Was it because children tend to play together easily?

"Wait, that's not right."

Suddenly, Qiao Ran seemed to realize that something was amiss.

"Wait, when will I be able to understand you?"

There wasn't a particularly close connection between him and Nebby; he could only vaguely sense its thoughts before. But now, he actually understood the meaning behind its words.

Qiao Ran grabbed the Nebby floating in the air, which still had a playful smile on its face, and pulled it into his hand.

Did you use any methods?

"Mo mo mo mo..."

Nebby continued to laugh loudly, showing no fear whatsoever. Then, it used Teleport to appear behind Qiao Ran's head and blindfolded him.

Guess... who I am...?

"Um?"

This time, Qiao Ran definitely heard a distinct voice. Although it sounded very far away, it had a very familiar feel to it.

Moreover, it wasn't the kind of adult voice with obvious characteristics, but rather a childlike voice, like that of a little girl.

"Nebby?"

Is that it?

">

The voice was both ethereal and fleeting; after it gently brushed past Qiao Ran's ears, it vanished without a trace.

"Mo... Momomo."

The Nebby in front of him was making the same sound as before, and Qiao Ran couldn't be sure whether the sound he heard before was actually from the Nebby...

"That's weird."

Qiao Ran chuckled lightly, not taking it too seriously. After all, Pokémon are such magical creatures, and similar things had happened several times before.

He'll understand when the time is right.

Following the familiar route, Qiao Ran arrived at Dianxi and Vulpix's Cave in no time. Generally speaking, it wasn't time for them to rest yet at this hour.

Sure enough, when Qiao Ran arrived, Dianxi and Vulpix were still tinkering with something strange.

In front of Dianxi, a small pink lamp was placed, emitting the light of the Gem itself.

"Wouldn't this shape... look better?"

"Or perhaps it would be better if it were made like this?"

As the energy from Dianxi's hand was channeled into it, the pink Gem lamp changed shape and took on a different form.

"Hmm... I think the trim around the edges could be changed."

The Vulpix fox circled the small lamp once, then conjured a small ice sculpture in its hand, visually demonstrating its idea.

"You can give it a try."

Dianxi nodded. The two Pokémon, who also possessed the ability to manipulate objects, communicated much faster than other Pokémon.

"... You guys are still doing this?"

Qiao Ran saw them tinkering with this little gadget from afar. In fact, they had been doing something similar for some time.

From furniture and decorative items to ornaments, the Gem items made by Dianxi are quite popular in the Wild Area. Whether placed as furniture in a nest or used as Humanoid Transformation accessories, they are excellent choices.

Besides training their skills, Pokémon also have their own lives. Dianxi and Vulpix are quite rare in that they've developed other interests. If it were other Pokémon, they probably wouldn't have such thoughts.

Of course, Pokémon that have gained the ability to Humanoid Transformation will also spend more time on their other form of body, just like how Yveltal is now very particular about her clothes and appearance. If it were her in the past, she definitely wouldn't understand such a thing.

"Master...! And Nebby?"

Upon discovering Qiao Ran's arrival, Dianxi and Vulpix were very excited and rushed to greet him. Although they met with Qiao Ran every day, opportunities to meet alone in the evening were still quite rare.

If they weren't intercepted by other Pokémon along the way, or if they had other things to deal with in the Real World, they would never be able to go back to the days when they Pokémon is a great help to their trainer, they can never go back to the days when they could spend every moment together.

"It said it wanted to come here and play for a while today, so I brought it along."

Generally speaking, Qiao Ran wouldn't bring Nebby alone, so he explained that its owner, Lillie, was currently having a party and didn't have time to deal with things here.

"Perfect timing! We're also making some new decorations here. Nebby, could you give us your suggestions?"

Dianxi reached out and ruffled Nebby's hair. The Gem on Dianxi's body sparkled, shining brightly even in the darkness, and Nebby loved that light.

"... Hmm." Vulpix pouted. She had thought that something special would happen when Qiao Ran came over, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that nothing she expected would happen.

Despite some differences in opinion with Vulpix, Nebby's appearance and personality were still quite endearing. Although Vulpix felt a little regretful, it quickly became friends with Nebby.

After spending some time at the Wild Area, watching Dianxi and the others make and improve their products, Qiao Ran took out his phone to check the time.

"It's about time I..."

It was getting late, and he needed to return to the Real World soon...

"Don't want."

Suddenly, the Vulpix ran to his side and grabbed his arm, its once calm and serene face now filled with reluctance.
