Chương 56: Chapter 56: The Reason for the Nightmare
Heath turned his head in confusion, then saw a little beast-eared girl staring at him eagerly, clutching his sleeve.
Farfetch'd stood nearby, holding its leek and laughing so hard that its shoulders shook. This sight made Heath's face go dark.
"The bathroom is over there, Zorua," Heath said helplessly, looking at the little girl in front of him. He didn't need to guess who this was; after all, besides Zorua, who else could do something like this?
"I want you to wash me," Zorua stubbornly tugged at Heath's clothes, refusing to let go. Left with no choice, Heath agreed.
To avoid any trouble, Heath had Zorua revert to its normal form before carrying it into the bathroom to give it a bath.
"Trainer, are you sure you don't want me to turn into that form again for you?" Zorua asked, comfortably lying at the edge of the basin. The warm water made Zorua feel like it was melting.
"Better not, thanks," Heath replied expressionlessly and proceeded to rub shampoo onto Zorua's head.
He had to admit, bathing Zorua was quite interesting. Zorua was like a fluffy cat, very soft to touch, and its blue fur looked especially beautiful.
"I can do this too~" Zorua suddenly turned back into the little girl, though this time...
Heath rolled his eyes. Good grief, what has this guy been learning?
Although the little girl wasn't indecent, seeing his hand pass through her face made the scene feel strangely eerie rather than beautiful.
After some persuasion from Heath, Zorua finally gave up on turning into a human form and obediently stayed in the basin.
Heath then dragged Farfetch'd into the bathroom as well. Although Farfetch'd was very reluctant, Heath's threatening gaze made it obediently submit to the bath.
"Zorua, does your species have any heritage or traditions?" Heath asked curiously while applying shampoo to Farfetch'd.
"Yes, but I heard it from Zoroark. She said we came from another continent. There was a very tall mountain there, and it's said that the legendary god created that region, and that's where our kind was born," Zorua said while soaking in the bath.
Heath paused. Could this be referring to the Sinnoh region? He remembered that before he transmigrated, he had seen the latest game mentioning the predecessor of the Sinnoh region, the Hisui region. The Zorua there looked different, and even had some different attributes.
"What happened next?" Heath asked curiously. Unfortunately, he hadn't played the game before he transmigrated, otherwise, he might have known more.
"Then we lived until now, but there are fewer and fewer of us," Zorua said, taking a ladle to pour more hot water over itself.
Heath looked at Zorua, who was particularly fond of hot baths, and then at Farfetch'd, who strongly resisted hot water. He shook his head; these Pokémon certainly had different preferences.
After bathing his Pokémon, Heath crawled into bed and gradually fell asleep.
But Heath didn't sleep well that night. Perhaps the shock from little Adams was too much; he kept dreaming of a little Adams in front of him, trying to seduce him into whipping him.
Heath tried hard to wake up, but it was useless. Then, Sadako with little Adams' face crawled out of the TV, asking to be whipped, followed by Maple with Adams' face standing by his bed, also wanting to be whipped.
"This nightmare is insane," Heath muttered painfully as he crawled out of bed the next morning. It was the first time he found dreaming to be such a miserable experience.
Then Heath noticed a message in front of him.
[You entertained Darkrai, and you received a Nightmare Crystal.]
Heath's face twisted as he pulled a small black crystal from his pocket. It wasn't very big.
[Nightmare Crystal: Placing it under your pillow causes inescapable nightmares.]
"Great, just great. No wonder I had a nightmare. So Darkrai visited last night?" Heath looked at the crystal in his hand with a strange expression.
He had never thought he'd encounter a legendary Pokémon. Although Darkrai wasn't unique, it was still a legendary Pokémon.
"Too bad it didn't leave a Dark Void TM instead," Heath smacked his lips. Despite the unpleasantness of the nightmare, the crystal in his hand was quite fascinating.
An inescapable nightmare meant the dreamer couldn't wake up and had to sleep until they woke up naturally.
Heath put away the powerful crystal, thinking it might come in handy someday or end up forgotten like the head enlargement serum.
He stretched, then woke up Zorua and Farfetch'd, and started their morning routine, preparing for the day's work.
"Far~" After washing up, Farfetch'd blocked Heath's path, waving its wings as if saying something.
"Farfetch'd says he wants something different for breakfast. He had a nightmare yesterday and feels tired," Zorua translated with a yawn.
Heath's mouth twitched. It seemed that he wasn't the only one dragged into the nightmare by Darkrai. This realization made him a bit unhappy, but this was the only nightmare he'd had in four years, and catching Darkrai wasn't easy.
Heath shook his head and thought for a moment. He was also feeling very hungry, probably due to the nightmare.
"A filling breakfast... then noodles, perhaps? This world has noodles too, but what should I make?" Heath pondered over his food truck, finally deciding.
"This will do," Heath said with a smile, ruffling Farfetch'd's head. He then took his Pokémon to the food market.
Heath planned to make a type of beef noodle soup, not the clear beef noodles, although they were good too. He wanted to make a delicious braised beef noodle soup.
However, this meant buying some mint and other seasonings. If not for making some money recently, Heath would have been reluctant to spend on these.
