Chapter 292

Anabel's voice rang out, and Shadow Ball had already condensed in front of the Mismagius. Although it was the same attack move as before, it was clear this time that the power of the Shadow Ball had increased significantly.

"Dianxi!"

The opponent's attack showed no sign of stopping, but Dianxi had no intention of backing down at this moment.

"--!"

When the two become one, Dianxi's movements will also incorporate Qiao Ran's sword-wielding habits.

Qiao Ran also learned some of Zacian's swordsmanship techniques after meeting Zacian.

Some simple techniques can sometimes achieve very good results.

Faced with the menacing Shadow Ball, Qiao Ran slightly raised his hand, positioning the blade at a very tricky angle. The Shadow Ball, which was flying towards Dianxi, rubbed against the blade for a while before sliding off the blade and deviating from its original trajectory.

"What?"

Anabel was startled by the opponent's actions. What... kind of skill is that?

No... wait, this doesn't seem to be a skill? It's just some kind of special technique?

But she didn't have time to think about that now. The Shadow Ball, which had been deflected, was flying straight toward the walls on both sides of the carriage. If it really hit them, not to mention whether it would cause any problems to the carriage itself, just the power alone would be enough for her to declare a loss!

However, she wasn't without a backup plan.

"Mismagius!"

The Mismagius's body trembled slightly, and the Shadow Ball seemed to be under some kind of control, dissipating directly into the air—only a small wisp of gaseous energy flew towards the Mismagius and merged into its body.

So... it is controllable?

And judging from this, it seems that some special method was used?

Qiao Ran nodded knowingly. No wonder Anabel dared to use so much force to unleash this skill. If it were an ordinary Trainer, they would probably be wondering if they would blow up the train.

"However! It's too late!"

While Mismagius was controlling the Shadow Ball, Dianxi had already rushed directly in front of Mismagius and swung her sword at Mismagius.

"Physical attacks aren't that effective against Ghost Type Pokémon."

However, Anabel was not too surprised by this attack. In fact, if it was just a pure physical attack, it could be roughly classified as a "Normal" type move, and "Normal" type moves cannot cause any damage to Ghost Type Pokémon.

However--

"Who said we used physical attacks?"

A smile appeared on both Qiao Ran and Dianxi's faces.

"What?" To Anabel's surprise, the Long Sword in Dianxi's hand shattered instantly, transforming into a violent Whirlwind that enveloped both the Mismagius and Dianxi.

"This is actually Diamond Storm!"

The shattered blades transformed into a storm, engulfing the two Pokémon.

"What a powerful attack!"

"... Qiao Ran's counterattack, the effect of this attack was--"

As the storm raged, the hosts and judges in carriage 0 transformed into the atmosphere-building team, Analytic the current situation.

"Well done."

Looking at the storm raging inside the carriage, Anabel knew that she had no chance of fighting back this time. After the previous battle, having withstood a whole combo from Dianxi, the Mismagius was already on the verge of collapse.

Just as she had expected, when the storm gradually subsided and the Mismagius reappeared, it was in a much more disheveled state compared to Dianxi, who was still Illuminate like a Valkyrie.

Dianxi's Little Hands

With a flick of her wrist, the scattered Gem fragments gathered once more, transforming into a single, unified blade in her hand.

In her handling of diamonds, Dianxi has reached an extremely high level. Even a small movement is not only incredibly crisp and clean, but also evokes a sense of "beauty".

"It's time to end this!"

Taking advantage of their injured opponent, Qiao Ran and Dianxi launched another attack, bringing this battle to a close.

"It's not that easy!"

However, Anabel did not give up. As the Train Conductor of this train, she would fight to the very end.

"Battle over!!!"

Finally, after both sides had taken some damage, the battle came to a conclusion. Dianxi, slightly out of breath, looked at the Mismagius lying on the ground and smiled with excitement.

"Ti--"

In the end, she won the Competition!

No, it was created together with its owner!

"Congratulations."

Anabel on the other side also congratulated Qiao Ran. Being able to Defeat her Pokémon was enough to prove Qiao Ran's strength. Moreover, his tacit cooperation and ability to remove debuffs on his own had also opened her eyes.

"As Trainer capable of Defeat the Train Conductor, you are eligible for the prizes we offer, and most importantly—"

The door behind Anabel slowly opened, and through the gap behind the door, Qiao Ran saw another carriage similar to this one.

"Bring it on."

Following behind Anabel, Qiao Ran Qiao Ran entered the next carriage. Several Trainer who had fought with Qiao Ran before were also present. Upon seeing Qiao Ran's appearance, they all stood up and applauded.

"A spectacular battle."

"You don't look like this is your first time participating in a Bullet Train battle... You haven't participated in this kind of event before, have you?"

They all smiled and congratulated Qiao Ran. To be able to engage in such a high-level battle with the Train Conductor, among people of this age, there was probably only this boy in front of them.

"Come over here." Anabel beckoned to Qiao Ran.

In the center of the room, there was a huge cylinder, and below the cylinder, there was a screen displaying images of Qiao Ran and Dianxi, seemingly captured by a camera above.

"As a memento of the victory, you can leave your mark here; you can sign or leave your handprints."

I'll just sign it.

Qiao Ran held Dianxi in his arms and took a picture, then wrote his not-so-good signature. Dianxi, in turn, wrote her name on the touchscreen.

"Even Pokémon can sign autographs?" Anabel couldn't help but ask, watching Dianxi's actions.

She knows a lot.

Qiao Ran didn't know exactly how much Dianxi knew, but in any case, it was definitely more than he imagined.

"Hmm..." Although she felt that Qiao Ran's answer was somewhat perfunctory, Anabel still nodded and pointed to the huge cylinder.

Your photos will be displayed here from now on.

After the battle ended, in addition to some routine content, the production crew suddenly appeared and gave Qiao Ran a series of "award ceremonies." At the very end, they didn't forget to interview him.

"Regarding that video you posted before, the one about the girl Sing..."

"It'll be soon, very soon. I've already invited her to participate in the next video, and everyone will definitely be able to see her more often after that."

After dealing with the host for a long time, the recording of the show finally ended. Qiao Ran collapsed into a chair, looking exhausted. He had played several Competition and then had to outwit the production team. He was completely worn Burn Up.

Was Sabrina always switching back and forth between this identity and the Gym Leader?

Just how much energy does she have?

Fortunately, after the recording of the show ended, the Bullet Train gradually approached the end of their journey. With the prize money they won in this Competition, Qiao Ran and the others will be able to live a good life for a long time.

Only...

Qiao Ran glanced at Anabel beside him, then at the densely packed crowd around him. He wanted to have a private chat with Anabel, but judging from the looks of it, there was absolutely no chance!

Even just having their contact information would be helpful!

"Qiao Ran -- Qiao Ran-- "

Acerola seemed to notice something too; she cupped her hands around her mouth and whispered Qiao Ran's name.

"Um, um."

"Have you noticed anything strange about that person over there?"

Qiao Ran deliberately bent down slightly, letting Acerola get close to his ear. Although Acerola was about the same age as Lillie and Mei, her figure... was really no different from that of a child.

"It is a bit strange, but I can't be sure."

"... I think I've seen her in Alola." Unlike the uncertain Qiao Ran, Acerola seemed to have a clearer memory of this woman... she remembered what she looked like.

"She seems to be Uncle Modan's colleague, but why didn't she recognize me?"

"... Have you lost your memory?"

"Perhaps." Acerola nodded with deep feeling.

Seeing Qiao Ran and Acerola whispering to each other, Mei and the others were drawn over. When did these two start sneaking around together like that?

What are you two whispering about?

"Shh."

Acerola glanced around cautiously. The Bullet Train was crowded and noisy; it was best to keep her voice down.

"It seems like Qiao Ran and I have discovered another person from the Pokémon World."

"Huh?"

Mei Mei were both surprised. Were there... people from the Pokémon World here? Or had they watched some strange video and discovered people from the Pokémon World elsewhere?

"It's that one..."

Acerola leaned close to Mei and the others' ears and whispered a few words.

After hearing Acerola's words, everyone nodded in slight surprise.

You mean... Anabel?

Mei Mei witnessed Qiao Ran and Anabel's final Competition. They both admired this female Trainer who could fight Qiao Ran to a standstill, but they never expected that she would also be from the Pokémon World.

"Then why don't we just go and talk to her directly? Since you know Acerola, she should know you too, right?"

"No... no, that won't do." Seeing Mei rushing over to say Mei, Acerola grabbed her.

"She looks like she has amnesia right now. If I went to her now and told her about the Pokémon World... she would definitely find it very strange."

"It would be terrible if we attracted other people here at this time."

"That's... indeed."

Mei was slightly taken aback. If the other party had really lost their memory, then these things were indeed possible.

If they rashly approach Anabel, it's one thing if she doesn't believe them, but if she suddenly reveals this to someone else, such as a member of the Director team on this Bullet Train, it will inevitably cause them unnecessary trouble.

Especially since this group also controls media channels, if this news were to spread due to various unforeseen circumstances...

"I think it's best not to bring up the Pokémon World yet, or at least hint at it indirectly. Let's slowly get to know her and guide her to remember things. It won't be too late to talk about the Pokémon World then."

Lillie offered her opinion based on the current situation.

"Um."

Everyone agreed to the proposal, which was considered a relatively mild approach, except for Qiao Ran's side...

The girls all turned their gaze to Qiao Ran, who hadn't spoken for a while, so Qiao Ran had no choice but to raise her hand to indicate that she agreed as well.

"Don't look at me, you can decide this yourselves."

If he were to ask for the other party's contact information, he wouldn't know how to bring it up. It would be better to leave everything to them. However, it seems that the symptoms of these Pokémon World transmigrators are getting stranger and stranger. Besides those who transmigrated to the wrong time, now there are even those who have lost their memories.

Who knows what will happen next?

"By the way, speaking of people with amnesia... Mei, Lillie, didn't you also add the contact information of a Nurse Joy had amnesia when you were in Hangcheng?"

How is she?

"It's still the same as before." Faced with Qiao Ran's question, both girls shook their heads, indicating that they were powerless to help.
