"As far as I know, this Darkrai has been living peacefully in Alamos Town for a hundred years without causing any trouble, but recently it has been appearing frequently, obviously trying to warn us about something," Fang Yuan explained.
"Perhaps, if we communicate calmly with this Darkrai, we might figure out everything that's going to happen," Fang Yuan added.
Predictive Ability is a rather peculiar thing.
Nastina previously told Fang Yuan that the closer the connection to a person, object, or event, the easier it is to predict its related future.
Therefore, even though Mewtwo's predictive ability is stronger, because it has no connection whatsoever to Alamos Town or the Sinnoh Region, its predictions about the potential disaster in Alamos Town might not be clearer than those of the Nightmare God.
So, asking this Darkrai directly is the simplest method.
However, even without asking, one can be fairly certain that Alamos Town is a unique spatial collision point.
"You know quite a bit," Hirona said, pursing her lips.
"Bwoo..." Eevee let out a sigh, thinking this was already quite something, considering Fang Yuan was even more of a mystic on Earth than in the Pokémon World.
Eevee began to suspect that Fang Yuan had traveled from the Pokémon World to Earth; otherwise, how could he have come up with so many technologies unique to the Pokémon World?
Having seen a bunch of novels and movies, Eevee had long seen through the truth!
That's right, Fang Yuan must have traveled from the future of the Pokémon World to Earth using the power of either Celebi or Dialga!!
...
...
Soon, Fang Yuan and Hirona stepped off the bridge and entered Alamos Town.
The town was still bustling.
As the location of the grand festival, it attracted hordes of Coordinating Trainers, Trainers, and tourists every now and then.
Of course, there were also various vendors...
"Hey, young man, and lady, how about buying a 'Crescent feather'~"
"I've heard that the Nightmare God has been wandering near Alamos Town recently; having a 'Crescent feather' ensures you a beautiful night's sleep~"
"Buy more for a discount, half price for the second one!!"
In the noisy streets, an uncle pushing a cart approached; at first glance Fang Yuan almost thought he was selling candied haws, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't candied haws stuck on the scarecrows on his cart, but more than a dozen 'Crescent feathers'."
The Crescent feathers are said to be the feathers of the Dream God, capable of dispelling all nightmares, quite effective against the Nightmare God.
Only...
Are you kidding me? These dozen or so Crescent feathers seem to be selling well, did you pluck the Dream God bald??!
Darkrai's anger +1+1+1
"I'll take one," Hirona said as she looked at the pretty, delicate feather and smiled lightly, picking one up.
"Thank you for your patronage!! One for 188,888 yuan," the uncle said excitedly as he rubbed his hands together.
Hirona froze in place, looking at the uncle. That expensive??
With that money, one could buy quite a few ice creams.
She, of course, didn't think it was a real Crescent feather; surely it was a replica, similar to those talismans or amulets, just to give people some psychological comfort. If it was indeed a replica, then this price...
"It's well worth it, absolutely worth it. Let me tell you secretly, they come from a very powerful Dream God, trust me, 100% real. Even if you don't need it later, you can resell it in other regions and the price can immediately go up tenfold!" the uncle added.
"That's too much!!" said Darkrai from Fang Yuan's shadow. The Crescent feather was such a beautiful thing, even if it's a replica... why sell it!
At this moment, Fang Yuan was also staring at the uncle, "Well, if it isn't Uncle Magikarp who sold James that Magikarp???"
From Kanto to Hoenn, then from Hoenn to Shinnoh, this time instead of selling the Magikarp that could lay a thousand eggs at once and spawn golden eggs, he's selling Pidgey feathers dyed as Crescent feathers???
No wonder he didn't recognize Hirona with sunglasses... it turns out he's an international con artist... you've even scam the Champion of Shinnoh now.
But the color on this feather is quite realistic; it looks even more dazzling than the glowing effect on the one Mewtwo sent to Darkrai.
If you asked a passerby to judge, this feather could totally be mistaken for a real one...
You truly are something.
"Uncle, do you still remember the Magikarp from the Saint Anthony..." At this moment, Fang Yuan looked at him, while the Rotom in his pocket started to alarm.
"Uh..." Uncle Magikarp glanced at Fang Yuan with a stiff expression. He tried to remember but couldn't recall who Fang Yuan was. However, he still broke into a cold sweat instinctively, treating Fang Yuan as one of the unfortunate folks he had swindled before. He immediately gave an awkward laugh, pushed his cart, and left: "Ah, to meet is to have fate, this Crescent feather is for you, goodbye~!"
After saying that, he quickly made his escape, even faster than Extreme Speed, probably had Dangerous Premonition.
"..."
Hirona, holding the Pidgey brand Crescent feather in her hand, was lost in confusion.
"Do you know him?"
"I know someone, just got cheated by him." (James: QAQ and not just once)
Both fell silent.
Hirona was about to say something when Eevee suddenly looked up.
In the distance, a loud shout came the next second.
"The Nightmare God has appeared!!!"
"Quick, everyone together, catch it!!"
Outside a street alley, a man dressed in baron's nobility attire, accompanied by a Big Tongue Lick, shouted towards a passing shadow.
Recently, the frequent appearances of Darkrai had been the cause of much anxiety for Baron Albert of Alamos Town, hence he had issued a warrant for its capture. But this Darkrai stuck to Alamos Town like a plastersome weed, refusing to leave!
It was driving him insane.
"Darkrai?"
Fang Yuan turned around and at his command, his shadow also transformed into a dark silhouette, moving towards the direction of the shout.
As for Eevee, it hopped back onto Fang Yuan's shoulder.
"Let's go, didn't expect the target to show up so quickly," said Fang Yuan.
"Okay," Hirona nodded, "The strongest Darkrai, huh?" Fang Yuan spoke of it?
As the Champion of Shinnoh, she had no idea that the Sinnoh Region hid such a mysterious Legendary Pokémon.
What kind of story did it have?
No Pokémon that stepped into the Legendary Realm had a simple experience.
This, Fang Yuan was also quite curious to find out.
Why was this Darkrai so powerful...
But if the first of its kind to face off against was this The Strongest Nightmare God, would his own Darkrai become introverted? "Never mind, a challenging difficulty is only a motivation for progress..."
