Chapter 332

As it turns out, lovable Pokémon are always welcome no matter the situation, and although it was their first meeting, they quickly became friends.

Later, when they went shopping, they actually took Mew with them. Qiao Ran only showed a little hesitation before being intimidated by all their stares and immediately backed down.

Wow, they're so united on something like this!

However... when passersby recognized Qiao Ran and the others and started asking questions, they could only come up with other excuses to brush them off.

"What kind of Pokémon is this? Is it another newly discovered Pokémon?"

"Um...

It should be Clefairy who can fly.

"Huh? They even have these kinds of Clefairy?"

Looking at the bewildered passersby, Qiao Ran, without batting an eye, began to spout nonsense. He had told this kind of lie countless times before, the same thing with the previous Pokémon. Every time, he would go through this phase. Moreover, this Mew seemed to be a mascot, so even if he made it up, many people would believe it with a grain of salt.

After all, its Mew pink appearance makes it look like a close relative of Pangding and Clefairy, so it's definitely Fairy Type.

"Yes, and she can evolve twice more. Her final evolved form should be... um... about the size of a human, with a very large tail."

Qiao Ran described what Mewtwo like in his mind, and it sounded incredibly realistic.

The passerby could only nod and leave, looking bewildered. Before leaving, he specifically asked where it was caught, to which Qiao Ran replied simply, "Near Rongcheng."

"They usually live in very large trees, and there are many fossils around them."

This time, Qiao Ran described the situation of the Tree of Beginning in Kanto again. He swore that he was not lying and that the Mew could definitely be found in the Tree of Beginning.

After the enthusiastic fans who had been asking all sorts of questions left, Mei and the others looked over, speechless.

"You seem quite skilled at it."

They roughly knew that Qiao Ran was making up a story, but the way he used it to create such a convincing illusion was truly masterful.

"There's no way around it, they'll definitely ask about those Pokémon."

Qiao Ran shrugged, indicating his utter helplessness.

Although there are no legends about Legendary Pokémon in this world, everyone is curious about Pokémon they have never seen before. This curiosity extends beyond ordinary people and Trainer; the Pokémon League will also question them, and it's difficult to get away with something without a prepared explanation.

However, as the adventure progressed, Qiao Ran also had some ideas in his mind.

One day, the Trainer of this world will surely discover that Suicune, Latias, Yveltal, and Dianxi are not ordinary Pokémon after all.

No matter where you go in the world, you won't find another one that's exactly the same. Of course, in the Pokémon World, only individuals like Yveltal and Reshiram, who have mastered the highest Rules, could maintain their uniqueness.

Of course, this will definitely happen some time from now. At least for now, Qiao Ran is able to live a very peaceful life.

--If they are targeted by poachers every now and then, even though the poachers may not be a threat to them now, it would still be very troublesome.

The arrival of the Mew eased the atmosphere within the team considerably, especially for Mei, who was deeply Mei last night; she seemed to have recovered from the shock.

As for whether there will be any problems tonight, Qiao Ran thinks there probably won't be. After all, the things that needed to be done were completed last night, and tomorrow is the day we've agreed to go down the mountain together. At this crucial moment, we must ensure we get enough rest and have enough energy.

No matter how strange things may seem, they will understand this.

However, after everyone had dinner together and strolled around outside for a while, just as everyone was about to go back to their rooms to rest, Mei stopped and suddenly blurted out something.

"Last night... Lillie went out to look for you, didn't she?"

"...!"

Qiao Ran was startled, and an exclamation mark popped up above her head.

What... Lillie was discovered?

When Qiao Ran was suddenly exposed, his first thought wasn't for himself, but for Lillie, who had been discovered by her friend to have sneaked out. This... this was definitely social death, wasn't it?

Who would have thought that a seemingly well-behaved young lady would actually be such a naughty child who thinks about sneaking out in the middle of the night?

"... Don't think I don't know anything... I just... don't want Lillie to know."

Mei looked away. She didn't want Lillie to know that she knew, so she could only pretend not to know, even though she did know.

After all, she knew that Lillie was very shy, and if she were discovered at this time, things would probably get complicated.

"Well, you really are..."

Qiao Ran couldn't find any other words to describe her behavior—lying on the same bed while pretending nothing was happening...

"Well, you really have it... tough."

"Snort."

Mei snorted coldly, glanced at Qiao Ran, and then stomped her Stomping Tantrum.

"Ugh! This is so annoying."

She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Besides, she had a lot of things to do after tomorrow. She had been holding this in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but tell Qiao Ran about it.

Although it felt good to say it, what was her reason for saying all that?

Welcome to [Xi'er's Picture]!

Library,].;7.4,,6!"0.9!4!0:7':6! Outside; Group,1'0"9;.0:25,:1'"5!;7,6 For Lillie?

No... no, judging from Lillie's expression, she should be doing it willingly... Although she couldn't believe it, Lillie had indeed accepted this unconventional reality.

Her initial reasons for targeting Qiao Ran had long since disappeared.

Then... what was it for?

"They're gone!"

Frustrated and upset, Mei could only Stomping Tantrum and turn away from this place of trouble.

"Wait..."

Suddenly, Qiao Ran had an urge to step forward and grab the other person, but looking around—this was the corridor of Inn.

In the end, his words caught in his throat, and he stopped moving.

Some things, perhaps, still require consideration of timing and place.

Tomorrow is the day we'll go down the mountain together, so tonight... let her get some rest.

The plan to lead all the research institutes down the mountain is now imperative. Staying on the mountain will not bring any assistance from others. Most importantly, the barren environment on the mountain is not suitable for developing planting and animal husbandry. If this continues, the stored food will be exhausted in no time.

After a good night's rest, Qiao Ran and the others gathered in Lillie's room on time the next day.

All supplies have been prepared, and everyone is in top condition. After having breakfast today, we'll probably be staying in tents for the next while.

"I'm thinking... should I cancel my reservation here?"

Qiao Ran couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Since we'll be camping in the wild with the Observatory staff for the next few days, isn't it a huge loss for them to still be renting rooms here?"

But after hearing Qiao Ran's words, Mei couldn't help but retort.

"How could that be? If we cancel our reservation here, what if someone's staying here when we come back? Didn't you say you could only go back to the place we had before?"

"Ah, this."

Qiao Ran paused, realizing he hadn't considered this at all; he was only thinking about saving money.

"Then we'll cancel our reservations for other rooms and keep this one."

Qiao Ran his hand and made a decision directly. Even though they were not short of money now, it was not the time to be extravagant. Besides, the money saved could buy a lot of things.

After dealing with various matters in the Real World, the group arrived in the Pokémon World after 9 a. m.

How was everyone's rest?

Qiao Ran looked at the researchers gathered in the hall. They were all dressed in outdoor clothes, with their backpacks neatly placed beside them. Clearly, they were ready to set off and were gathered here to wait for Qiao Ran and his group to arrive.

"Good."

"That's great, hahaha."

Everyone wore a smile, as if something joyous was about to happen.

"... Everyone was so excited when they heard they could get down the mountain; they're full of energy now."

"Yeah, yeah, we were all planning to just charge straight down..."

The morale of these people is now at an all-time high. Even the brothers Sophocles and Molayne, who are standing at the front, look much more energetic and cheerful than before.

Perhaps it's also thanks to the food that was delivered earlier.

After being trapped here for so long, none of them had eaten anything decent. Now, with the supplies Qiao Ran brought from the Real World, their bodies have been able to recover.

"Alright, now let's get ready and officially descend the mountain."

"However, before we officially descend the mountain, I might have a few more words I'd like to say to everyone."

To resolve the previous situation, Qiao Ran did not conceal his ability to travel between worlds, but instead handed over his supplies to the researchers. In return, these supplies earned him immense prestige.

Everyone present was listening attentively to his speech.

"Ultra Beast are extremely ferocious creatures with a very strong sense of territory. They have now claimed most of the area on the mountain as their own territory. Therefore, we must remain vigilant at all times while moving, because those Ultra Beast may launch an attack at any moment."

"Furthermore, Ultra Beast typically possess astonishing attack power and speed, while their defense tends to be weaker. Therefore, as long as we can withstand the first wave, the subsequent handling will be quite simple. In other words, as long as we remain vigilant, we can achieve victory."

"Next, it's best if everyone forms a group of three, and each person must bring at least one small Pokémon with them. Don't Ultra Beast for ordinary Pokémon; once they attack, they're usually targeting the Trainer."

As Qiao Ran spoke, he glanced around at everyone, and almost everyone who heard him shuddered slightly.

"...!"

Attacking humans themselves... that's already quite shocking, let alone the fact that these aren't even legitimate Trainer, but rather researchers.

Member.

In this originally safe and harmonious Pokémon World, everyone usually battles peacefully. The only ones who would attack the Trainer themselves are probably those evil organizations with a very bad reputation.

Molayne was in the crowd, seemed to have noticed this as well. As both Pokémon Trainer and the director of the Observatory, how could he not guess what these people were thinking?

However, at such a critical juncture, morale cannot be allowed to suffer.

So he raised one of his hands and made a sound.

"Don't be afraid, everyone!"

"We'll definitely be able to get down the mountain, as long as we stay united!"

His tall, slender figure was slightly hunched, but his gaze was fixed on Qiao Ran.

"Look, they've all successfully made it up the mountain, which proves that those Ultra Beast aren't invincible! As long as we stay vigilant at all times, just like Qiao Ran said, there won't be any problems!"

Molayne's voice echoed around, and gradually, the commotion in the crowd subsided. Everyone's gaze was fixed intently on Qiao Ran's face. Yes—they had all come up.

That means they have hope.

Even if they are attacked, they still have ways to deal with it, right?

"As long as you trust us and stay with the group, we will definitely get back safely."

Qiao Ran nodded and made a promise.

They were able to climb the mountain on their own, but now with the addition of Molayne Alola Elite Four-level member, and Sophocles, Gym Leader, their strength has been greatly enhanced. Dealing with Ultra Beast should not be a difficult task for them.

However, who the Ultra Beast attacks is beyond Qiao Ran's control, so he must ensure his own safety and follow his orders.

After all, these people aren't like Lillie and the others; they can't communicate with him without reservation. If something unexpected happens, things could get complicated.

In short, don't be afraid of Ultra Beast.

"... Get ready, let's go."

Qiao Ran turned around and walked towards the main entrance. On his shoulder, a transparent Pokémon gradually revealed itself. With its pink appearance and long tail, it was none other than Mew, which had just joined the Mew yesterday.

During the time he spent descending the mountain, Qiao Ran also made plans to help Mew level up.

With her petite stature and Psychic type, she is undoubtedly the most suitable Pokémon to accompany her. If there is any drawback, it is probably her extremely low level.

And now, this is a very good opportunity.

You can't find so many high-quality experience packs anywhere else...
