"This is bad, Rotom!!!"
"The Guardian God of the Ri Association, Cresselia, seems to know Doctor Fang Yuan. It even said that Doctor Fang Yuan is Darkrai's Trainer, Rotom."
"Cresselia wants the reward of this battle stage, and Doctor Fang Yuan said... after he wins, he can give it to her, Rotom?!"
Rotom was shocked.
The Trainers at the scene and those watching the live broadcast were also shocked.
How is this situation exactly like the one just now when facing Little Lugia from Japan?
When facing Little Lugia, Fang Yuan also said that he could come to get the Sea Sound Bell after he won.
Now, facing the Dream God of the Ri Association, too???
This TM, online poaching?
What grudge does the Ri Association have with Doctor Fang Yuan, for Fang Yuan to dig at such a high cost for their Guardian God.
In an instant, the Trainers from Japan were dumbfounded. What kind of move was this?
Trainers from the Hua Nation were stunned for a moment, then in unison, they shouted, "Doctor Fang Yuan is awesome!"
Using one piece of Legends Resources to help the Hua Nation invite a Dream God as a guardian, not a loss at all!
"Can't I get it myself?" Cresselia asked as gently as possible.
She had come all this way and waited so long, what was with this talk of gifts?
"But the issue is, I'm currently defending the stage," Fang Yuan said with a smile. "We obviously can't lose on purpose..."
As Victini's Trainer, he couldn't rig the match!
Cresselia: ...
Darn it, the Trainer of the Nightmare God was indeed very strong but also so arrogant.
"Then let's have a match and see," Cresselia said.
She too was eager to personally battle the Trainer of Darkrai.
The Dream God before him always found Fang Yuan's Darkrai interesting because it couldn't control its power, thus living alone on a deserted island. After being redeemed by a Trainer, it went on to raise over a hundred children. Their misunderstanding arose because Darkrai used Nightmare Power to train those Fossil Spirits, leading to a sort of "fight and make friends" scenario.
However, due to this very misunderstanding, the Dream God learned about this interesting Darkrai and couldn't help but give it a Crescent Feather to ease the fatigue of those Fossil Spirits caused by the nightmare training.
It was also because of the thoughtful acts of the Dream God and her actions drifting around the world, helping those who couldn't control their Nightmare Powers, that attracted Fang Yuan's Darkrai.
Although Darkrai never explicitly expressed it, it had a favorable impression of this powerful rival big sister.
Its willingness to be tamed by Fang Yuan and trained to become stronger stemmed from its desire to possess strength equal to hers and then have the ability to help her.
Darkrai, in the Pokémon World's Alamos Town, had been helping other Nightmare Gods master their Nightmare Powers, all influenced by the Dream God.
Besides hoping its own kind could live normal lives, it also wished the Dream God Clan no longer harbored life-and-death feuds.
"Alright, your opponent is this one." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Here it comes."
As everyone watched, Fang Yuan took out a Poké Ball and pressed it.
Then, a Pokémon appeared on the field that took many by surprise.
A shadowy hourglass-shaped body, ceaselessly rolling white mist-like hair, and those bright blue eyes...
The Nightmare God, Darkrai!
Was Rotom's translation earlier true?
Doctor Fang Yuan... actually has a Nightmare God, Darkrai?!!!
Many Trainers widened their eyes in disbelief, not understanding how Doctor Fang Yuan could tame such an evil Pokémon…
However, recalling the evil appearance displayed by Gengar earlier, the crowd suddenly found themselves speechless.
But... to pit the Nightmare God against the Dream God, could that really work?!!! The Dream God's powers are suppressive!!
"..." After entering, Darkrai silently looked at the Dream God opposite it.
It never expected to meet on God's War Island.
In fact, since arriving at the island, it had been anxious for quite a while.
At this moment, the Dream God was a bit startled too. It hadn't expected Fang Yuan to send out the Nightmare God. This... Moreover, it strangely felt that the other had changed a lot and was completely inscrutable to it now. Strange…
Finally, when everyone thought a terrible battle was about to erupt between the two life-and-death rival dream gods, Fang Yuan suddenly turned his head towards the unmanned aerial Rotom.
"Before the start of the stage battle, please let me say something about Darkrai."
"Uh... Rotom..." the unmanned aerial Rotom flew over in bewilderment.
At this moment, facing the camera that was broadcasting to the whole world, Fang Yuan said, "I think you all are very curious about why I tamed a Darkrai and how I know Cresselia."
Of course, we're curious!
Everyone looked at Fang Yuan, bursting with curiosity.
"Speaking of which, Darkrai as a species, often gives people a sense of evil due to its inherent legends and impressions, which comes from its characteristic, Nightmare."
"Under the Nightmare Characteristic, whether Darkrai intends to or not, it will cause all the sleeping humans and Pokémon within a large area to be trapped in endless nightmares, which is why they are not liked and are associated with evil."
"Actually, most of the time, this is not their deliberate malice, because they can't control their own powers. Like my Darkrai, it lived alone on a deserted island for decades because it couldn't control its Nightmare Power, unaccepted by any creature. This is why Darkrais seem very rare and seldom appear in front of humans."
"However, as difficult as it is to control Nightmare Power, it's not utterly uncontrollable. Through my research, I found the most effective way to help Darkrais master Nightmare Power is through the Emotional Power of the Mind, but this is not something Darkrais can handle on their own."
