Chapter 514: Nightmares and Sweet Dreams, Gengar goes to battle!
The night is filled with darkness.
Shuimai City was dead silent.
He wears a gentleman's hat and a blue suit, with a Lucario following closely behind him.
Yaxuan stared at the gray sky, pursed his lips, and tried his best to resist the drowsiness.
If someone looked closely, they could see the blue circles under the eyes of this high-level wave guide messenger.
Yaxuan hasn't slept for two days and two nights.
It’s not that he didn’t want to fall asleep, but he always fell into nightmares and woke up in a cold sweat.
Yaxuan took the ferry from Iron Island to Shuimai City in order to investigate and solve the root cause of the nightmare.
"There is no trace of Darkrai in the shrine on Crescent Island."
Yaxuan lowered the brim of his hat and murmured:
"Judging from its whereabouts, the most likely place it will arrive tonight is Shuimai City."
Over the years, the two Pokémon that live on Crescent Moon Island and Full Moon Island have the habit of migrating.
Furthermore, these two Pokémon are not unique and even have their own groups.
As the master of the Iron Island and a high-level waveguide messenger... Yaxuan has always taken it as his responsibility to mediate the disputes between the two.
Sense of justice, sense of mission, spirit of sacrifice...
These are the very words that are synonymous with the Waveguide Messengers.
Lucario remained silent, his red pupils reflecting the dark sky and a ray of moonlight piercing through the dark clouds, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The dark clouds quietly dissipated, and a holy and noble figure emerged from under the bright new moon.
"Cresselia?!"
Yaxuan stood under the moonlight and looked up, unable to believe it.
It had two crescent-shaped horns and a light blue body like a boat. Two purple ribbons swayed from its chest, and behind it were pink ring-shaped wings. Its narrow eyes glowed with silver light.
The Goddess of Dreams, Cresselia.
It floats in the air, bathed in the silver moonlight, gazing towards some darkness.
According to legend, it has the power to dispel nightmares, weave beautiful dreams, and calm those who are tormented by nightmares.
"It actually appeared here." Yaxuan held the brim of his hat and lowered his head, "That means..."
"Darkrai is nearby!"
…
Shuimai City, police station near the library.
Miss Junsha had dark circles under her eyes and yawned with her hands covering her mouth.
Junsha felt sleepy and her head kept nodding.
Boom! Junsha laid her hands on the desk, resting her head on her arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
Wheels and turns.
The flashlight on the desk fell to the ground, and a beam of yellow light hit the window.
A circular spot of light on the window quickly passed by a rolling misty shadow that looked like a human figure.
…
The moonlight was bright over the quiet Shuimai City, and a few houses were emitting faint lights.
"Grandma, I want to listen to the fairy tales of Shuimai City~" a childish girl's voice.
"It's getting late. If you don't go to sleep, Darkrai will come and take you away."
"Wow, it's a big bad guy then."
"There is more to this world than just good and evil."
Grandma said slowly: "There are Pokémon who can't help themselves, and there are Pokémon who help others."
"What matters is that how you see yourself is how Pokémon will see you."
"Ha..." The little girl rubbed her eyes, "I'm sleepy, grandma."
"Same thing, Grandma... let Marilla sing a lullaby for you."
"I don't want it, let grandma sing~"
A dark figure passed over the house, and then everything returned to silence.
…
"It is said that this time of year is the migration period of Darkrai and Cresselia."
In a jeep, Dr. Masaaki was holding the steering wheel and talking to Dr. Oki in the back seat.
The co-pilot, Christael, wore a white round hat and her eyes sparkled: "This is data that has never been collected... Professor Oak, should I prepare to capture them?"
"Lu Ye has provided Darkrai's Pokémon data."
Professor Oak smiled and replied: "In addition, the owner of Donggua Pavilion has already inspected it and there will be no abnormal conditions in the next few days."
"But I heard from others that..."
Zhenghui scratched his curly hair, looked forward, and whispered: "Master Donggua often goes to Iron Island for special training and rarely pays attention to the affairs of Shuimai City."
"That's because Mr. Hyota, the son of the Donggua gym owner, often comes to the Steel Gym to do the work for him."
Kristal smiled and said, "Maybe it's a way to train children."
The jeep continued to move in the night, and sleepiness gradually took over.
Waiting for the night road traffic light to turn from red to green.
“Heh—” Zhenghui yawned and rubbed his eyes, “Strange, I went to bed early yesterday…”
Boom! Zhenghui fell headfirst onto the steering wheel and fell into a deep sleep.
Kristal was wearing a seat belt with her head drooped; Professor Oak in the back seat folded his arms, tilted his head back and snored.
Right in front of the jeep, Darkrai's figure gradually rose from a dark shadow.
It looked up at the sky, and its gaze fell on Cresselia bathed in the moonlight.
Darkrai suddenly flew into the air.
…
"Beep...suspicious energy fluctuations detected!"
The Rotom Pokédex waved its mechanical arm and said in shock: "Analyzing the sample, the possibility of it being Darkrai is as high as 999%, Loto!"
Lu Ye glanced at Rotom speechlessly and raised his chin towards the air.
"Do you still need to analyze it?"
"Darkrai, they are all here!"
Rotom Pokédex: "..."
Squeak——
"I took a valuable photo, Lotom!" Rotom said proudly.
Teacher Lu: “…”
Fortunately, the flash was turned off and did not attract their attention.
now.
Teacher Lu was standing on the balcony of a four-story building, with an unobstructed view in front of him.
Looking down, there is a dark dense forest.
Above the dense forest, two legendary elves are confronting each other.
Darkrai floated in the hazy black clouds, with his claws open and the black shadows of his shoulders swaying in the wind.
There was a new moon behind Cresselia, and she gazed at it quietly, bathing in the bright moonlight.
The two elves ignored Teacher Lu who was watching the battle.
Their figures flashed and they engaged in combat directly.
A shadow ball flew out from Darkrai's palm, sank into the light wall in front of Cresselia, and disappeared quietly.
Raising his sharp claws high, Darkrai's pupils were cold as they flashed to the sky above Cresselia, and he swung down the Shadow Claws suddenly!
A brilliant halo suddenly bloomed from Cresselia's body, and the power of the crescent moon condensed into a moonburst, with silver light radiating out!
Bang! The two Pokémon retreated at the same time, panting, and confronted each other again.
【You choose to help——】
[Darkrai/Cresselia?]
If this were a replica, the option should have popped up.
But the broken system didn't make any movement, which made Teacher Lu very angry.
Do I have to issue tasks to myself? Gengar licked his lips, holding a small notebook in his hand, recording and learning the skills of both sides of the battle.
"Koujie~" Quietly, a look of disappointment spread across Geng Gui's face.
Teacher Lu fell into deep thought.
Darkrai, Cresselia...they all have tribes.
And it is in line with their nature to fight when they meet.
But from the perspective of strength.
The Darkrai in Poplar Town should be the strongest Darkrai, comparable to the legendary one.
The current Darkrai is roughly between the kings, and at best is at the same level as the legendary beast Darko.
"It looks like Mengmeng has fallen asleep."
Lu Ye looked back and pressed his chest pocket, the crescent feather glowing faintly.
"It won't be wrong to bring important props with you when you go out... " Lu Ye muttered to himself.
"Bu-yi!"
A beam of white light leaped out from the Poké Ball, Sylveon bathed in the bright moonlight, and Cresselia's figure was reflected in its pupils.
Extending the ribbon, Fairy Eevee gently shook Mr. Lu's arm.
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
"Buyi." In the round blue eyes of Sylph Eevee, there danced a glimmer of desire to become stronger.
If I could receive Cresselia's teachings...
Even if it is not as good as the Darkrai in Poplar Town, it will definitely be an improvement.
"Buyi!" Fairy Eevee's bow was shining with moonlight, and she called out softly again.
"I see."
Lu Ye smiled helplessly: "Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to use the Moon Explosion to destroy the house... It's okay to go to Dr. Yamanashi's research institute, understand?"
A sweet smile spread across Fairy Eevee's face.
"Buee~!"
Lu Ye was lost in thought for a moment, and suddenly he felt the relief of an old father whose daughter's rebellious period was over.
"So."
Lu Ye flipped his palm, revealing Gengar's Poké Ball, and looked up at the night sky.
"I'm sorry, little Darkrai!"
…
"Their struggle must be stopped."
Yaxuan rode on a Dragonite and landed in the dense forest behind the library.
There was the sound of rippling water, and above a clear open space, two Pokémon were fighting fiercely.
The dark waves of evil collide and surge with the silver power of the moon in the night sky.
Two halos burst out with dazzling light. Yaxuan stretched out his hand to block it and suddenly his eyes widened.
In the center of the collision of light, a Gengar floated in the air, its body appearing to 'guard' the dazzling barrier.
Boom!
The energy was released onto the barrier, and cracks appeared with a 'crack'.
"That's impossible..."
Yaxuan opened his eyes wide and murmured hoarsely, "You can resist the attacks of two legendary Pokémon by yourself?"
Even with the help of the power of 'holding', it was still too amazing!
"Kou Jie!"
The next moment, Gengar stretched out his hands, and small rotating black holes condensed in his palms.
Black and silver, two energies sank into the "dark hole".
It was as if the Big Bang had returned to its singularity, and the night was silent.
Darkrai and Cresselia were both silent.
"Kou Jie~!()"
Geng Gui grinned, overlapped the black holes in his palms, and raised them high above his head.
Immediately, it held up the 'large black hole' and turned towards Darkrai.
Darkrai: “…”
“…”
The iceberg-like face gradually collapsed, revealing a hint of fear.
Darkrai: Σ(°△°|||)︴
Why does this guy know how to use Dark Hole, and he uses it more skillfully than me? Damn, isn't this my exclusive move? Only the Darkrai family knows how to use Dark Hole, who are you? Cresselia looked at Gengar, slightly lost in thought.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The halo behind her faded, and Cresselia lowered her head in a very human way, a little shyly.
Yaxuan looked up at the night sky, lost in thought for a long time.
The sight of Gengar in the night sky left an indelible impression on him.
"Which trainer is it..." Yaxuan felt his voice was a little hoarse.
"Geng Gui."
Suddenly, a loud command came from afar.
Yaxuan turned to the trainer who walked out of the depths of the jungle. The wave power in his body seemed to begin to become restless and boiling because of his fear of this man.
His pupils contracted, and Yaxuan seemed to have seen a respected senior. He said in disbelief:
"Mr. Lu!"
Lu Ye did not answer and looked at the night sky.
"Dark hole!"
Yaxuan turned suddenly and looked at the black hole in Gengar's hand, which was surging with energy and constantly rotating.
How is this possible?! Legend has it that only Darkrai can master this move.
How could Gengar learn it!
The next moment.
The black hole in Gengar's hand surged out, and white air waves swept branches, gravel, and water into it, exploding on Darkrai with a "boom"! Boom! !
Teacher Lu’s eyelids twitched.
He didn't intend to injure Darkrai...
After all, in theory, the dark hole only has a hypnotic effect and has no lethality.
Drive Darkrai away and the mission will be accomplished.
But this...
It seems that except for this one, the strength of Darkrai is far inferior to the one in Poplar Town.
There is also the issue of the two Pokémon consuming each other.
Lu Ye: "Forget it... There are more than one illegal moves."
The air wave dissipated.
Darkrai folded his arms and floated in the night sky, his aura slightly disordered.
In Gengar, it sensed a sense of pressure and fear from a predecessor.
And behind Gengar, the mysterious trainer...
Darkrai looked at Lu Ye, his eyes flickering.
"Sorry, can we leave Shuimai City first?"
Lu Ye opened his mouth and tried to communicate with Darkrai using the "power of wave guidance".
"I know you have no ill intentions...it's just that there are important people and things going on in Shuimai City right now."
"I hope you can leave." Lu Ye narrowed his eyes, "Otherwise..."
Lu Ye thought:
I'm going to give you a good treatment and then send you away!
Lu Ye: "This kind of evil magic is hard for even me to control!"
"Kou Jie!" Geng Gui floated beside Lu Ye, put his hands on his hips and nodded.
Darkrai felt an inexplicable chill.
Compared to those elders who have lived for hundreds of years, although he is only a "little Darkrai", he is still outstanding.
And this Gengar is more skilled at using Dark Hole than I am...
This is unreasonable, this is too unreasonable! "Human, are you threatening me?" Darkrai closed his eyes and said sternly, "Do you think you can do it?"
Lu Ye pondered and said, "Indeed, I also know that you legendary Pokémon have a lot of self-esteem..."
“I’m telling you!” Darkrai roared, “I want to leave here today, and no one can stop me!”
Mr. Lu and Geng Gui: "..."
Yaxuan and Lucario: "..."
"I mean, all of you here."
Darkrai looked around.
"I'm leaving, and Arceus can't stop me. I'm saying it!"
Immediately, Darkrai's figure sank and disappeared into the dark shadows.
Finally, only the rolling white mist and the blue eyes remained. Darkrai said to Lu Ye:
"I'm not afraid... I'm just retreating temporarily, you understand?"
Lu Ye: "Of course, please go ahead."
Darkrai heaved a sigh of relief and gradually disappeared into the shadows.
Its cold and aloof telepathy can be vaguely heard.
"See you later!"
The night sky is clear and the moon is high in the sky.
Yaxuan looked at Mr. Lu and Gengar, awe welling in his heart, and took off his gentleman's hat.
"Teacher Lu, it's such an honor to meet you."
"Who are you?" Lu Ye was stunned, "Ya Lang is resurrected?"
Yaxuan: "We met last time... He was my ancestor."
"I remember now." Lu Ye half-jokingly said, "You are Yalang from Iron Island, oh no, Yaxuan."
"That's me."
Yaxuan recounted how he tracked down Darkrai and rushed to Watermai City.
Lu Ye pondered and nodded, feeling a little weird.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing while on a business trip...
However, it was a pleasant surprise.
Lu Ye looked at Cresselia floating in the air and said with a friendly smile:
"I think we can chat for a while."
Cresselia gradually descended from mid-air and lightly tapped her crescent-shaped head.
"Thank you for your help, human." Telepathically, a soft female voice appeared.
"It's just a small favor." Lu Ye waved his hand, "You don't need to give me any gifts. Just a Crescent Dance and a few feathers will be enough."
Cresselia's exclusive move "Crescent Moon Dance" can gather the energy of the new moon and bless humans or Pokémon.
I believe that after being strengthened by "Crescent Dance", the little guy will be able to keep up with the first echelon and once again occupy the throne of the big sister.
[Crescent Moon Dance: Calls upon the crescent moon to dance. Although you are on the verge of death, you can heal all the conditions of the backup Pokémon. 】
Cresselia: ???
Just do a crescent dance...
I think you want me to die! ...
Today is a lame day, just one update orz.
