章 652: Chapter 587 Nightmare Island_1
Mr. Gu spoke of a competition called the Pokémon Product World Expo, commonly referred to as the Pokémon World Expo. It corresponds to the World Sprite Alliance Conference and is another large-scale international competition.
As for this competition, Fang Yuan had no plans for the time being, but if he had time, he could also take the opportunity to learn more about it.
The pressing matter at hand was to head to Nightmare Island.
"Be careful along the way, and stay safe."
After all the preparations were completed, Mr. Gu said to Fang Yuan. As a powerful Trainer who had spent time learning so much about Nightmare Island, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
At most, the outcome would likely be a fruitless journey with nothing gained.
"I will."
"Next...it's time to show some real skill."
After bidding farewell to Mr. Gu, a sense of unease started to grow in Fang Yuan's heart. Despite his thorough preparations, so many had failed to find Darkrai, could he be successful?
All Fang Yuan could do now was pray that his PY techniques would be sufficient, and even if Darkrai eluded him, at least he might come away with some kind of discovery.
......
Setting off from Azure Island, Fang Yuan summoned Dragonite and then Rotom took on the role of guide as they began their journey toward the Chaotic Sea Area.
The magnetic field of the Chaotic Sea Area was disordered, and the sea and weather there were incredibly changeable. Without Master Level strength, it was impossible to cross.
Such issues posed challenges for typical Trainers, but they were not a problem for Fang Yuan. Approximately one hour later, they had initially entered the Chaotic Sea Area.
At that time, Fang Yuan released the Armed Magnetic Monster, which shielded them from the chaotic magnetic field, allowing Rotom to continue guiding unaffected. Milotic also appeared in the sea, working with Dragonite to manipulate the weather.
They pressed on using a nautical log provided by Mr. Gu. Despite encountering some minor troubles along the way, three hours later, they finally saw a cluster of islands.
"Is this the place?"
Fang Yuan had already recalled Milotic as they approached. The sea grew even more turbulent near their destination, with vicious whirlpools and waves appearing from time to time, making it safer in the air.
Before long, they set their sights on an island surrounded by sheer cliffs and precipices. Looking at the environment, it appeared to be Nightmare Island.
"Pippi Dragon, let's go!" Once Rotom locked on to the island, Fang Yuan immediately directed Dragonite to fly there.
"Boowoo~~~"
However, before getting close to Nightmare Island, Dragonite immediately felt a terrifying nightmare fluctuation that made its heart tremble.
Fang Yuan, more sensitively attuned to energy fluctuations than most, also perceived the unusual waves as Dragonite flew closer to the island.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly. This must be the source of the nightmares that Mr. Gu had mentioned, right?
Looking up at the sky above the island, Fang Yuan felt as though they were enveloped by a massive black cloud, a truly ominous place. Had it not been for Dragonite, he would have never ventured to a place even stranger than the Spirit World.
"Boowoo??"
Dragonite inquired about whether to land on the island.
"Land," Fang Yuan said definitively.
He was becoming increasingly certain that Darkrai resided here.
Due to the limited understanding of a Pokemon like Darkrai, other research teams considered the nightmare fluctuations to potentially be a natural part of the secret location's environment, as there are many areas rich in energy like The Lake of Purification, and researchers had become quite accustomed to it.
However, Fang Yuan knew slightly more than the others, understanding that Darkrai indeed was the instigator of endless nightmares for others, unless one carried a Crescent Feather on their person it was hard to resist, but in fact, "causing nightmares" was merely a defensive behavior, rather than an intentional act of malice.
Since the research teams had attempted to land on the island multiple times and were only repelled by the nightmare fluctuations without being attacked by Darkrai, there was a high likelihood that the Nightmare God residing here was not interested in contact with the external world and did not harbor significant malice.
This was very good information!
After landing on the island and feeling the strong erosion and impact of the nightmare fluctuations on his mind, Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
"Eevee, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Glutton, Milotic, Dragonite!"
The next moment, Fang Yuan called out the names of his six main Pokemon. Eevee emerged from his backpack, while Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and Gear Child pre-emptively charged up to reach their optimal state. Ditto had already climbed onto Monferno's shoulder, ready to transform into any needed tool to help Monferno enter Thunder Flame Mode, and Glutton had entered into Fang Yuan's shadow. Although Milotic was not adept at ground combat, Fang Yuan summoned it for additional fighting strength since the research team could not be without a healer.
Dragonite, as the main character of this mission, had to remain outside. Excluding Bulbasaur, who had no combat power, all Pokemon were dispatched by Fang Yuan.
Simultaneously, Luo Kuo's figure also gradually emerged, taking the form of Nine Tails next to Fang Yuan, its red pupils watching the depths of the island alongside Eevee.
"Do you feel it?"
Luo Kuo's mind induction reached Fang Yuan's heart, causing him to nod slightly after a brief pause, "I feel it. If the Nightmare Fluctuations have an owner, then its strength is definitely above that of the Awe-Inspiring Old Lady."
The Thousand-year Gengar from Sun and Moon Forest, who had once been at a Top-Level Third Phase, was currently at the Top Second Stage due to a decline with age.
Although Ghost-type Pokemon do possess the concept of lifespan, after living for a thousand years, the physical strength is no longer what it once was, leaving only considerable experience and no longer able to break through to the limit of physical endurance for extreme battles.
The four stages of the Top Tier Domain are signified by:
One, energy qualitative change.
Two, Coordination Ability and physical strength remarkable enough to casually use top-tier combination one-hit kill techniques for regular combat.
Three, physical endurance breaking through limits to engage in longer, more intense battles.
Four, reaching the racial limit of one's own species and mastering the ability to temporarily break through those limits.
The owner of the Nightmare Fluctuations, if stronger than the Thousand-year Gengar, very likely could be at the Top Level Third Phase, or even Fourth Phase, possibly at Guardian God Level, or even a formidable creature at Near-legendary Level.
As for Darkrai... it should be a Pokemon skilled in battle.
The Darkrai that left the deepest impression on Fang Yuan was the one from the movie, which fought against Dialga and Palkia to protect the Tower of Time and Space and the people, incredibly powerful.
As for the specific strength of the Darkrai in front of him, Fang Yuan couldn't make a solid assessment, but he knew one thing—if they provoked it, their only option would be to flee in panic, and even that escape would likely be very difficult.
"Let's prepare first, and then we'll try to communicate our message..."
