However, Alamos Town's Darkrai was also very resilient, and to protect itself, it would attack other Pokemon. After hypnotizing its enemies, it would eat their dreams as well.
It didn't choose to live in uninhabited areas alone like Fang Yuan's Darkrai. It yearned for the outside world, and because of its nightmares, it caused a lot of trouble.
This situation lasted a long time until Darkrai encountered a wandering Dream God Cresselia who sought to subdue it.
A great battle ensued between the two Dream Gods. During the dream battle, Darkrai consumed the dreams of Dream God Cresselia but was also seriously injured itself, fleeing from the battle and passing through Alamos Town.
Knowing that both humans and Pokemon disliked it, Darkrai simply hid and healed its injuries in a courtyard.
During its recovery, a young girl named Alicia unexpectedly found it. To Darkrai's surprise, Alicia did not fear or despise it like other beings, but instead came over to comfort it, treated its injuries, and told it that this garden belonged to everyone, and it could settle down here.
Such treatment was something Darkrai had never encountered before. Its heart was opened by Alicia, and later, as Alicia played "Oracion" for Darkrai and other Pokemon, Darkrai's spirit was healed. It mastered its Nightmare Characteristic, being able to control nightmares at will and thus settled down there as well.
Finally integrating into the outside world and being accepted by others, Alamos Town's Darkrai thought things would get better from there. But suddenly, it acquired the ability to have Prediction Dreams, giving it a vague premonition of future events.
"It might be due to Dream Eating, consuming the power of Dream God Cresselia's dreams," it thought.
"Cresselia possesses Future Sight and has Predictive Ability. That particular Cresselia is likely skilled in Prediction Dreams, so it's possible that Darkrai obtained this ability by consuming her Power of Dreams," Hirona analyzed.
"Makes sense," Fang Yuan nodded, now understanding why this Darkrai became capable of predictions.
Alamos Town's Darkrai foresaw a disaster that would happen in Alamos Town far in the future. However, its mastery over Prediction Dreams was not perfect, and it couldn't determine exactly what would happen. The potential danger to Alamos Town and Alicia in the future, however, put Darkrai on alert.
During its time in Alamos Town, it began to train itself diligently, determined to protect Alicia and Alamos Town.
In the blink of an eye, a century passed, and the visions from the Prediction Dreams never materialized. Darkrai did not know how strong it had become, but recently, the disaster it had foreseen long ago was becoming increasingly clear as time passed.
By then, Alicia had passed away, but Darkrai still lived in Alamos Town, silently guarding Alicia's descendants and protecting the place.
So, as its predictions became clearer, it began to alert the residents and Pokemon through its Prediction Dreams, but instead, it found itself being hunted and attacked.
Left with no choice, Darkrai decided to drive away the unwelcome guests who were soon to come to Alamos Town.
"So that's how it is..."
The troubled past of Alamos Town's Darkrai left Fang Yuan and Hirona in a contemplative silence.
Hirona was moved by the strange encounters between humans and Pokemon, while Fang Yuan learned much more beyond the movie's plot, feeling everything was much more real.
"Let me help you."
Before Fang Yuan could speak, his own Darkrai, moved by the spirit of Alamos Town's Darkrai, broke the silence and spoke.
The other was lucky to have met a girl like Alicia who accepted it. It was also fortunate to have met Fang Yuan. These similar yet different experiences made Darkrai want to offer help, completely forgetting that its original purpose was to challenge the strongest Darkrai...
"That clears everything up!"
"I will help you, too." Following his own Darkrai's offer, Fang Yuan smiled slightly and then spoke.
Watching the movie, he had a great respect for this Darkrai, whose bonds with itself and Alamos Town were worth admiration.
Now that he could help, he was naturally going to lend a hand.
"Yes," Hirona nodded as well.
Watching Fang Yuan, Hirona, and this fellow Darkrai,
Alamos Town's Darkrai said thank you in its heart.
But then it looked at Fang Yuan's Darkrai and Hirona's Garchomp with a puzzled gaze.
"I have a question too. What's the deal with the Crescent Feather in its hand, and the moves it used just now?" it asked seriously.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan's Darkrai was taken aback and fell silent.
Fang Yuan chuckled, "Because it too was beaten up by Dream God Cresselia."
But what he didn't say was, "After being beaten up, you ate the Power of Dreams of Dream God and grew close to a human girl, while my Darkrai had a craving for Dream God's body."
Fang Yuan's Darkrai: "..."
Alamos Town's Darkrai remained silent.
"But I'm curious too. Hirona, the Tile Splitting move used by your Garchomp just now... why did I feel a familiar Wave Motion?"
Fang Yuan looked toward Hirona and Garchomp.
Not only had Alamos Town's Darkrai felt it.
Both he and Eevee had felt there was something special about Garchomp's move just now.
That sensation... was just like the Super Cronos Power.
