Chapter 252: Watermai City, another Darkrai.

"We have arrived at Shuimai City. Please don't crowd, get off the airship in an orderly manner, and take your luggage."

"We have arrived at Shuimai City, please..."

The airship that Xiaoyun and the other person were riding on was gradually descending, and the voice broadcast in the airship was also reminding pedestrians.

"We are finally here, Shuimai City."

Xiaoyun murmured as he looked at the Shuimai City below the window.

Shuimai City is a coastal city in the Sinnoh region, and most of its buildings are close to the sea.

The entire city is divided into two by a waterway. Because it is connected to a port, people from other areas often come here to do business or travel, making Watermai City extremely prosperous and a famous tourist city in Sinnoh.

"The rice is finally out!"

Following a loud shout, the little hedgehog in Xiaoyun's arms also shouted, and his voice was very loud, like a community bull.

However, feeling the strange looks from the people around him, Xiaoyun quickly covered the hedgehog's mouth with her hands and couldn't help but muttered softly: "It's coming out, it's coming out, you've called it many times along the way."

Along the way, Shaymin was so talkative that he was unwilling to enter the Poké Ball. His cute appearance and ability to speak immediately attracted the attention of all the passengers.

If Xiaoguang hadn't been there, Xiaoyun's phone would have been filled with requests from the little sister.

Of course, there are many people who like Xie Mi, so Xiao Yun didn't dare to confront it along the way. As for the reason... those who understand will understand.

"I'm just hungry, and it's so boring on the airship." Xie Mi's voice sounded a little weak.

When they got off the airship, Xiao Guang couldn't help but ask: "But then again, where should we go first?"

"Let's go to the Pokémon Center first and satisfy the appetite of a certain glutton." Xiaoyun replied.

The glutton didn't seem to realize that Xiaoyun was talking about him, and instead walked excitedly in the direction that Rotom was pointing.

The two walked for a while, looking at the deserted street, and their originally happy mood gradually became stiff.

"I heard that Shuimai City is a famous tourist city, but why does it feel a little desolate here?"

Halfway through the journey, Xiaoguang finally couldn't help but speak.

I originally thought that the tourist city of Shuimai must be very prosperous, but it turned out that after walking for half an hour, it was not lively at all.

There are basically no people here. Occasionally one person shows up, but his expression is dull and numb, and you can't even ask him a question.

Even the surrounding shops and malls were closed, as if the place was haunted.

Xiaoyun thought about it.

He seemed to remember that there was also a Darkrai here, and it was because of his own nightmare characteristics that the city was paralyzed, but the specific situation would have to be seen.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the Pokémon Center, pushed open the door, looked at the deserted hall, and Xiaoyun spoke.

"Excuse me, is Miss Joy here?" Xiaoyun's voice rang out in the hall.

Just as he finished saying this, Miss Joy came out from under the front desk, yawning and rubbing her eyes, and asked, "Ah... Woo~, hello, how can I help you?"

Miss Joy looked very haggard, with dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept for several days.

Her originally bright hair now looked dull due to lack of care, and she looked listless.

"Hello Miss Joy, we are here to check in at the hotel." Xiaoguang said, and handed their ID cards to Miss Joy, who took them in a daze and began to check them in.

Looking at Miss Joy's exhausted face, Xiao Guang couldn't help but feel confused, so she asked, "By the way, Miss Joy, why is there no one on the streets of Shuimai City?"

Hearing this question, Miss Joy seemed to suddenly wake up, shook her head, stood up, and explained to the two of them while yawning, "Ah~, don't you two know?"

Seeing that the two were indeed new arrivals, Miss Joy began to explain.

"Every year at this time, a Darkrai appears on the Crescent Island near Shuimai City."

"Its nightmare ability even affected our Shuimai City. Everyone couldn't sleep well for several days and had nightmares every day. Naturally, no one was on the street."

"Darkrai!"

Xiaoguang and Shaymi subconsciously looked at Xiaoyun's shadow at the same time. There was a powerful Darkrai in it.

Xiaoyun shook his head at the two of them, meaning that it was not him. His Darkrai would not be able to use the nightmare attribute at will.

"Ah~, actually it wasn't this serious before."

Miss Joy yawned again and explained while rubbing her eyes.

"Because normally, when Darkrai appears, Cresselia, known as the Goddess of Dreams, will also appear. It will perform the Crescent Dance to save people from nightmares."

"Since then, the people of the Water Vein have built a shrine specifically for Cresselia on the Full Moon Island opposite the New Moon Island."

"But for some reason this year the nightmare came so early, and Cresselia didn't show up, so... huh~"

Before she could finish her words, Miss Joy had already fallen asleep on the table.

After the two carried Miss Joy into the room, Darkrai's figure emerged from the shadow of Xiaoyun and spoke softly.

"not me."

Hearing Darkrai's anxious tone, Xiaoyun thought he had misunderstood something and hurried to comfort him.

"We didn't mean that to Darkrai, and I also believe that this was definitely not done by you."

Darkrai felt relieved after hearing this. After hearing what Miss Joy said, he was afraid that Xiaoyun would misunderstand that it was caused by his characteristics, so he hurriedly showed up.

Xiaoyun naturally would not do such a stupid thing as doubting Darkrai, so he continued to ask.

"By the way, Darkrai, do you feel the presence of your kind?"

Xiaoyun thought that after all, the Darkrai clan, as a mythical beast, were rare in number. If there were other Darkrai who really appeared here, they would definitely be able to sense each other.

"Well, I noticed something was wrong when I first arrived in Shuimai City." Darkrai nodded.

Xiaoyun asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Darkrai frowned and replied, "I don't know the details, but since entering Water Pulse City, I have been feeling a familiar yet strange aura."

"It seems that this fellow of mine has a bad personality."

Although he said so, Darkrai was not afraid of the other party. He even looked forward to fighting with him, even if that fellow tribesman had a priesthood.

Because of it, it has absolute confidence in its current strength!

"Okay, in that case, let's go to Crescent Island tonight to meet that Darkrai."

Seeing the fighting spirit in Darkrai's eyes, I suddenly felt a little sympathy for the Darkrai I had never seen before.

That night, Xiaoyun and Xie Mi followed Miss Junsha who was also going there, and took a speedboat to Crescent Moon Island.

Because of the nightmare, Miss Junsha hadn't slept well for several days, so she was extremely passionate when driving the speedboat. She rode the wind and waves and splashed all the way to Crescent Island.

Crescent Island.

The inky night swallowed up the sky. An eerie crescent moon hung alone on the bare branches, emitting a dim light.

The cold wind blew through the silent sea breeze, blowing away any remaining warmth from the day without a trace, leaving only endless desolation.

At this time, a familiar conversation was heard from a cave on Crescent Island.

Musashi and Meowth were guarding a strange machine, while Kojiro was leaning against a rock in a trance, as if he would fall asleep at the next second.

"Meow meow, can you turn off this machine? I'm so sleepy and I want to have a good beauty sleep!" Musashi said with a yawn.

Musashi, who had been staying up late for a long time, had dark circles around his eyes, and his face looked listless.

"Just hold on a little longer. Kojiro and I have already sold most of the crescent feathers we dyed earlier!" Meow Meow replied with half her eyes open.

Miaomiao had also been trying hard for several days, but there was no way the makeshift equipment had any effect, and they would also have nightmares, so Miaomiao didn't dare to sleep.

"Wow, so fast? Doesn't that mean we made a lot of money today?" After hearing this, Musashi held his tired eyes open and suddenly became energetic.

They are seriously short of funds recently and can't even afford an airship, so they can only row manually.

After arriving, they found that they had come too early and the little brat hadn't arrived yet. So they worked in Shuimai City to earn a living and wait for the little brat and the others.

After accidentally hearing the legend of Darkrai, a few people thought they could do something and make a lot of money.

So, under the operation of Meow Meow, a nightmare machine was made to sell the Crescent Feather.

What, you ask them why there are so many Crescent Feathers.

It's just like finding a feather dropped by a bird Pokémon, like Mook, Pidgeot, or Toucan, and then dyeing it. It's no big deal.

Purely handmade, absolutely conscientious.

"That's right. If we open it for another two days, we will be able to sell out all the remaining Crescent Feathers! That way, we will have enough funds to capture Pikachu!" Meowth waved his paws excitedly.

This money is so easy to make, faster than robbing a bank, but it's a bit difficult.

"Hehe, if we successfully catch Pikachu and present it to Boss Sakaki, then..." Musashi showed a greedy smile.

Miaomiao continued: "Be promoted to a cadre and become a branch director!"

However, Musashi suddenly felt sleepy and yawned: "But then again, I'm still very sleepy."

"Huh? What is this?" she asked, pointing to a plug on the ground.

"Oh, that's the plug of the machine, meow, plug it in quickly, otherwise the machine won't work." Meow meow said casually, and then motioned for Musashi to plug it in.

Musashi was stunned: "Wait, if the plug is not plugged in, doesn't it mean that the machine has never been turned on?"

There was a hint of shock and confusion in her voice, which made Meow Meow stunned.

"That's not right, Meow. If we didn't plug it in, why would those people in Shuimai City still have nightmares?" Meow Meow scratched his head and said with a confused look on his face.

Miaomiao's words made the two of them fall into deep thought, and the drowsiness caused by fatigue disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, Kojiro, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly shouted, "Ah, ghost! Don't eat me!" His voice was full of fear and despair, which made people shudder.

When Kojiro woke up, he looked terrified, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was open, as if he had seen something terrible.

His body was shaking constantly, his hands were tightly grasping the rocks beside him, and his heart was beating so wildly that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.

Meowth was startled by Kojiro's cry and quickly turned to look at him.

Kojiro pointed forward in horror, muttering to himself, "Ghost... there's a ghost..."

Meow Meow looked in the direction Kojiro's finger pointed, but found nothing unusual in front of her.

At this moment, Meow Meow suddenly felt a gloomy breath coming towards it, making it shiver.

It looked around nervously, trying to find the source of the breath.

At this moment, a black shadow quietly appeared at the entrance of the cave. The black shadow gradually turned into a solid entity, and its scarlet eyes flashed with a dark light, as silent as a deep pool.

Then he flipped his palm, and a dark purple energy black hole emerged and was thrown into the cave.

the other side.

"You young trainers are so brave. Aren't you afraid of Darkrai?"

Miss Junsha looked at the two people who were moving freely on the island, as relaxed and happy as if they were here to camp, and asked curiously.

Because the recent nightmare incident was so severe, she originally planned to come here to investigate by herself. At this time, she didn't expect that there would be a trainer willing to follow her. She was really surprised.

After hearing this, Shaymi in Xiaoguang's arms wanted to be proud. Shaymi even wanted to say that they dared to fight even Giratina, so Darkrai was no problem at all. Shaymi himself could even transform and start fighting.

"It's just Darkrai. I'm telling you, we have it right now... Ugh!"

But before he finished speaking, Xiao Guang knew what he wanted to say, and quickly covered his mouth, looking at Miss Junsha embarrassedly.

After all, Miss Junsha’s condition is so unstable right now, it would be too arrogant to say this.

Xiaoyun on the side quickly cooperated and said: "It's okay, Miss Junsha, we are just here to broaden our horizons, and they will definitely run away if they see us."

Fortunately, Xiaoyun didn’t know what Xiemi wanted to say. If he knew, he would definitely complain about it.

It's night now, why are you changing into something else?

"Well, it's good to have this awareness. It's good for a trainer to have courage, but you still have to put your own safety first."

Miss Junsha nodded seriously and said no more after finishing her instructions.

Because their main task tonight is to investigate. If the purpose was to arrest, she would never bring them here.

"We understand." The two responded obediently.

Here, Xiaoyun and his friends had almost walked around the island, but didn't find anything.

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Guang, it's time for us to go back. Let's end today's investigation here." Miss Junsha felt that it was getting late, so she said to the two of them.

But just as Miss Junsha finished speaking, she turned around and found a dark shadow blocking her way.

I saw a black shadow wrapped in dark shadows, with its body constantly floating, and I could vaguely see its claws on its arms, torso and head.

It kept rolling, with the white hair-like part covering most of it, leaving only a pair of scarlet eyes exposed, floating in the air like a ghost.

Darkrai, the God of Nightmares!
