Under the tranquil blue sky, Alamos Town was "temporarily" safe.
In the garden of Alamos Town, Fang Yuan and Eevee looked at the gathering of Darkrai and had already begun to conceive how to help this group of Darkrai design a Dream World Battle Royale.
"How about this?"
In Fang Yuan's idea, nine Darkrai would jointly create a Dream World.
Then, just like playing "virtual reality games," or "VR games," the nine Darkrai would let part of their dream energy transform into a conscious entity and enter the dream together.
The rule required that each Darkrai invest an equal amount of dream energy into the Dream World, and they could only grow stronger by devouring the dream energy of their opponents.
Since the initial energy levels were the same, in battle, what mattered was their combat awareness, experience, luck, and the use of dream energy.
Additionally, since the battles took place in dreams, no one could use Hypnosis on anyone else, rendering the most basic dream power of inducing sleep useless; they had to rely on other means.
For example, some Darkrai excelled at morphing into various Legendary Pokémon in the Dream World and used Legendary Power to fight, much like the Dream Demon that Xiaozhi encountered in the Shinnoh Region in the animation.
Other Darkrai were adept at simulating various disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons in the Dream World, creating type advantage effects.
For instance, Alamos Town's Darkrai was good at Prediction Dream; it could foresee the location of opponents in the Dream World and strategically avoid or ambush them.
Fang Yuan's Darkrai's dream power contained an element of time, so it could speed up its own actions or slow down those of its opponents in the Dream World.
Each Guardian may have different techniques for manipulating dreams.
Entering the Dream World with the same initial energy would effectively train them in the use of dream energy, as well as allow them to learn from each other's capabilities.
Perhaps a single act of Dream Eating could even transfer over an opponent's dream manipulation experience.
As long as they played by the rules wisely, each Darkrai had the potential to rapidly gain strength like a snowball, and each game could create a strongest Dream God. After countless cycles, they could all become stronger.
The one who laughed last and most often would gain the most, a good plan for cultivating strength.
"Bwoo." Eevee, puzzled, asked if that would work, or if they should simply let them act as Trainers in the Dream World, using the same dream energy to simulate Pokémon for battles. The losing Pokémon would be devoured in the Dream Eating process!
"Let's try both."
Fang Yuan had a lot of confidence in his own Darkrai!
Even though the goal was fairness, his Darkrai often practiced Battle Royale training in Dream World, and with the help of Pokémon like Celebi teaching time power, it wasn't necessarily weaker than Alamos Town's Darkrai at the same energy level.
This method, if used well, effectively meant a 1VS8 training session. It could train the Darkrai more efficiently and was also a recyclable training method, because under this training system, the other Darkrai could also grow with each game, not ending after just one round.
Through this method, they might indeed raise the strongest Darkrai.
Fang Yuan hoped his own Darkrai would do well!
Fang Yuan and Eevee exchanged glances, then looked at the gathering of Dream Gods.
"Come on, let's play a game!!!"
Fang Yuan walked over, smiling lightly.
"Bwoo! (Take me with you!)"
"No, at most you can be the referee."
It was a special training for Darkrai; Eevee should not meddle.
"Bwoo~~~~!!" Eevee cried in distress.
It! Also! Wanted! To! Play!
"Play, what game?" The leading Darkrai among the group from Alamos Town said gravely.
That being said, weren't they forgetting the important matter—that the crisis in Alamos Town wasn't yet resolved?
"No big deal, Hirona is handling it, and Hoopa is also helping to find the Temporal and Spatial dragons. There's nothing we can do right now, so you just stay here and relax. If something unexpected happens later, having you all temporarily stronger could actually be a bigger help," Fang Yuan replied offhandedly.
The Darkrai from Alamos Town: "..."
The key was that what he said made sense, and the Darkrai from Alamos Town were left speechless.
...
After Fang Yuan and his group had formulated their "Dream Eating" and "Dream Manipulation" centered "Battle Royale training in Dream World," Hirona, bearing the title of Champion, made contact with the Mayor of Alamos Town, explaining the upcoming crisis in Alamos Town and the severity of the situation.
The Mayor of Alamos Town did not dare to delay. Even though there were many tourists in the town and a grand contest was about to be held, which would affect the local economy, Hirona had spoken, and as a simple mayor, he naturally could not joke about the safety of so many people.
Hirona watched as the Mayor of Alamos Town hurriedly went about his duties and sighed... unsure if they could successfully evacuate the populace...
Meanwhile.
Sheena, the Guardian of the Michina Shrine in the Sinnoh region, and the Four Heavenly Kings of Sinnoh, were also receiving Hirona's message.
In the underground of the Michina Shrine, Sheena locked the Time-space instrument onto the vicinity of Alamos Town and observed seriously, her expression growing increasingly solemn.
In the group chat of the Four Heavenly Kings of Sinnoh, all four Kings chimed in.
Flint, the Fire-type Elite Four: "What? The Time-space Twin Gods will battle in Alamos Town?"
Insect King A Liu: "No way, I heard that there were battles with Legendary Pokémon in the Kanto, Hoenn, and United Regions just recently, and I was wondering, how come it's only been a few days, and now it's our turn?"
