Chapter 330

How could you believe that?!

Sabrina stared wide-eyed in astonishment, momentarily unsure whether the other person was faking it or if Cynthia had truly fallen for it. What on earth was going on between them?

Unable to understand, Sabrina simply shut her mouth again, while Qiao Ran and Sabrina's conversation continued.

In Sinnoh folklore, Sendoff Spring is also known as the fourth lake after the three main lakes, and it is said that the souls of the dead travel from there to the spirit world.

"Based on my investigation, something really did come out of here before, and it was those things that gave rise to the legend of the Sendoff Spring. Among the Legendary Pokémon recorded in Sinnoh, the only one with similar abilities is probably... Giratina is said to govern another world in the legends."

Cynthia openly revealed all her investigation findings, including many things she hadn't told others.

The research findings have been published before, but there's nowhere to report them now, so there's no problem in sharing them with everyone.

"Since it's Giratina, then the density of this fog can be explained..."

Qiao Ran nodded in agreement. As one of the three Sinnoh gods and the administrator of the Antimatter World, the Rules it governs are obviously more powerful than those of other legends. If it weren't for Arceus, who created the world in Sinnoh, these three legends would probably be revered by even more people.

The conversation continued, with the discussion about the video's content mainly revolving around Qiao Ran and Cynthia. Sabrina, who had been invited, could only stand there blankly listening until Qiao Ran mentioned Kanto, at which point she finally managed to interject a few words.

Qiao Ran: "Seafoam Islands have Articuno, Abandoned Power Plant has Zapdos."

Sabrina: "???"

"Wait, there's Articuno on Seafoam Islands and Zapdos at the Abandoned Power Plant? Where did you hear that from??"

"This... Suicune told me."

When confronted with Sabrina's question, Qiao Ran promptly shifted the blame to Suicune.

"Isn't she the embodiment of the North Wind? Besides, the Johto and Kanto Region are connected, so it's quite normal for her to come and visit Kanto."

Sabrina's lips twitched.

You made this up, right? It must be made up, right???

Qiao Ran wasn't in front of her right now, so she couldn't use her Psychic to judge his thoughts. But looking at Qiao Ran's expression, she really wanted to unleash a Confusion on his face.

However, to her surprise, Cynthia on the other side had already nodded.

"Is that so... Since it was Suicune said it, then it must be true, right?"

Sabrina: "..."

No, how could you believe it so easily again!

Sabrina was starting to suspect that the two of them might have conspired together.

"Furthermore, based on our previous research in Sinnoh, these areas covered by Haze should also be home to Legendary Pokémon. The Seafoam Islands have Articuno, Abandoned Power Plant has Zapdos. These match up, after Kanto, there aren't many Legendary Pokémon..."

Sabrina: "..."

What do you mean by "not a lot"?

If Cynthia hadn't said those words, she would definitely have retorted on the spot, even though she herself felt that there weren't many mythical beasts in Kanto... but that was definitely not the main issue.

Qiao Ran and Cynthia's conversation continued, and finally, unable to go to the Pokémon World, Cynthia could only make a request to Qiao Ran.

"Go to those locations and take a look, any one of them is fine, and it would be best to take pictures of what it looked like back then."

"Um."

Even if she didn't say it, Qiao Ran would still do it. The deeper they venture into the area, the more secrets they will encounter, and Cynthia, this senior mythologist, will definitely be of great help to them.

Although Qiao Ran seems to know a lot, most of it is just the surface of the game. If he really wants to understand the details, he needs Cynthia's help. If he were alone, he couldn't do anything.

By the time the conversation ended, it was almost noon. While Qiao Ran and Cynthia were talking, the girls also went out for some special training. Mei and Mei also unleashed the enthusiasm that hadn't been exhausted from the previous night. In order to be able to adventure with Qiao Ran in Unova, they needed to become even stronger.

"Any results yet?"

When they saw Qiao Ran again, they couldn't help but ask her the same question.

"How could anything possibly happen? This call was just to inform them and discuss it."

Qiao Ran didn't think that he could explain this matter clearly just by talking. As Trainer, he had long known that practice was the only criterion for testing the truth.

"If we want to know what happened, we have to go and see for ourselves."

"... Um."

Everyone agrees with this statement.

"In that case, after we get down the mountain, I'll take you to the ancestral Shrine on the island. It's a bit small... but it still has that strange fog."

Acerola offered to lead the way. She had been managing the Shrine on Ula'ula Island, but hadn't visited it since the crisis.

If I can get through this time, I might actually learn something.

"Then let's do it your way. We'll go to the Shrine on the island first."

Qiao Ran also thought this was a good idea, so he nodded. The Shrine on Ula'ula Island was definitely the closest location; if it were any farther, they would probably have to go to other islands.

As for Galar... it would probably take weeks or months to get there, who knows how long it would take to reach even one of the destinations.

Everyone had lunch together, and then returned to their rooms to prepare for a nap. During this time, Qiao Ran also arrived at the Wild Area, ready to begin something he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Is it really going to begin? Is it really going to begin, Rotom?"

"Real."

Seeing Rotom flying excitedly through the sky, Qiao Ran gave an affirmative answer.

Seem

Having received some kind of message, many other Pokémon also rushed from their dens and formed a circle around the area.

"Let's begin, Rotom."

Drawing new partners— Qiao Ran could never contain her excitement at times like this.

On one hand, he doesn't underestimate any Pokémon, regardless of their abilities; on the other hand, he hopes that new partners can bring new power.

I'm sure every Trainer has this conflicting feeling.

Just like some Trainer who want to challenge the Pokémon League but find their strength is never enough, and ultimately abandon their old partners for victory. The dilemma always exists.

Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about these things; he had even more Pokémon than he thought, and Mei Mei n't seem to have any such worries either.

According to them, their Pokémon were all caught on their adventures without any careful selection or comparison of their aptitude; they simply picked them up and set off together.

In response, Qiao Ran could only conclude that excellent Trainer and excellent Pokémon might indeed be attracted to each other.

However, it's indeed a bit abnormal to judge these female protagonists by common sense and logic. Just like yesterday, she had already been fighting all day, and then went out for special training at night, and still had the energy to mess with him in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was very easy to subdue and had very low resistance to the Tokiwa Power, Qiao Ran would have been a little suspicious that Mei was actually a superhuman from some universe.

But overall, who would dislike a girl who is proactive, has a good attitude, is always Hustle, and has an outstanding appearance and figure?

"Don't hesitate, Rotom, hurry up, Rotom!"

Qiao Ran stood there silently for a long time, seemingly brewing some emotion, while Rotom, floating in the sky, was the first to become impatient.

The Pokémon standing around also chimed in, urging Qiao Ran to start quickly, as they were eager to see who the new partner was.

The situation in the Wild Area is improving every day, and this new partner will surely become a powerful asset.

"Okay, okay."

Qiao Ran smiled and shrugged. Since they were all in such a hurry, he might as well just do it himself.

"Rotom!"

"Rotom's here!"

Qiao Ran pressed the button on Rotom's screen, and as the button was touched, new power began to gather in front of Qiao Ran.

A small beam of light formed in front of everyone, and finally, a red and white Poké Ball Levitate in front of Qiao Ran, gently spinning.

This summoning was obviously not as grand as Yveltal or other Pokémon before, but looking at the Poké Ball in front of him, Qiao Ran felt something special.

"A red and white Poké Ball..."

Often, the summoned Pokémon come in other types of Poké Ball, and their types often match the Pokémon's own. But this time, it's just a basic red and white Poké Ball.

However, this doesn't mean the opponent is weak; on the contrary, it's precisely proof that this Pokémon extremely special.

"Open it quickly, Master."

"Yes."

Vulpix and Dianxi watched expectantly from the side, and they could also sense the incredibly vibrant life force within the Poké Ball.

This is definitely not an ordinary Pokémon.

"Good."

Qiao Ran nodded and opened the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Come out!"

As a flash of light appeared, an incredibly tiny Pokémon gradually took shape before him, accompanied by Growl like that of a kitten.

"Mew~"

The one that made that Growl was this newly appeared Pokémon.

It has a pink body, a long tail and two paws, just like a pink kitten. However, what is most eye-catching are its big blue eyes, which always sparkle with bright light.

"Mew?"

Qiao Ran blinked, then called out the Pokémon's name with some surprise.

Mew – the most iconic Mythical Pokémon in the Pokémon World. Although its power may not be particularly strong, it holds a unique position in the Pokémon World. In legends, it possesses the genes of all Pokémon, is the origin of all Pokémon, and is an incredibly magical Pokémon.

"Mew~Mew~"

Upon hearing Qiao Ran call out her name, Mew happily Levitate around Qiao Ran, excitedly flying back and forth.

As Nebby Psychic type Pokémon, like Mew, can fly directly in the air without the aid of wings or other parts. However, compared to Nebby, her curiosity seems to be even stronger. After flying around twice, she started tugging and pulling at Qiao Ran.

"No... you can't do that."

Vulpix reached out, trying to pull the other person down, but to her surprise, Mew Teleport to the air beside her, covering its mouth and laughing.

Not only that, after a few laughs, the Mew voice vanished into thin air, and then...

When she appeared, she had transformed into the form of an Ice Vulpix, but she Levitate in the air in a very incongruous manner.

"This is..."

Qiao Ran watched the changes in the Mew with some curiosity, while Latias was standing to the side, also came over with great interest.

As Pokémon that also has the ability to change its appearance, she was naturally very curious about Mew's ability. Moreover, another ability Mew displayed—invisibility—was also very similar to hers.

Could there really be some other kind of relationship between them?

However, when she tried to reach out and grab the Mew, it began to dodge and weave endlessly in the air, as if it didn't want her to touch it at all.

"Owner!"

Finally, Latias could only pitifully ask Qiao Ran for help. She did want to use her Confusion to trap him, but... that wouldn't be a good idea.

"You guys too... okay."

Qiao Ran shook his head helplessly. Mew had disappeared again at some point, but Qiao Ran's Aura Power could clearly sense that she was actually right next to him in the air, watching and laughing.

"Mew."

Qiao Ran reached out and pulled the other person into his arms, as if he had caught a fleeing kitten.

"Mew...?"

Mew uttered a questioning sound, and its body gradually became visible.

Although she didn't resist Qiao Ran's actions, she clearly didn't know—why could he still detect her even though she had concealed herself?

Is this some kind of strange ability?

Mew is Legendary Pokémon with a special status.

However, for Qiao Ran now, Mew is clearly not the kind of combat power that can change the course of a battle, unless the opponent has mastered the Rules at the level of Yveltal.

In the Pokémon World, many Legendary Pokémon do not actually possess the so-called "uniqueness." For example, Shaymin, the Legendary Birds, Heatran all have their own species. Mew is the same. In the legendary ancient times, the number of Mew far exceeded that of modern times. As the origin of all Pokémon, they were the first life forms to be born in this world.

But this raises the question: what is the origin of humankind? Is it also related to Mew?
