Chapter 93

Nightmare?

The nightmare Latios mentioned made Su Hao quite concerned.

Speaking of nightmares, one has to mention that Mythical Pokémon that appeared in the fourth generation—the Nightmare Pokémon, Darkrai.

Darkrai

As a pure Dark-type Pokémon, Darkrai possessed the power to make humans and Pokémon fall into a deep sleep and have nightmares.

Su Hao had watched the theatrical version where Darkrai starred as the cover legendary; Darkrai, with the body of a Mythical Pokémon, fought against two high-ranking legendary Pokémon, the God of Time, Dialga, and the God of Space, Palkia, all by himself.

Relying on its cold and handsome appearance and the strength it showed in fighting the two gods of time and space one-on-two in the theatrical version, it gained many fans.

According to the information Latios mentioned, Su Hao had to make the worst guess: Darkrai, as a Pokémon adept at combat, had already been controlled by that unknown evil organization.

At the same time, this information also explained why this group of people could steal the Heart Scale without anyone noticing.

With Darkrai's power as a cover, and just when Latios and Latias were not around, they could indeed steal the Heart Scale and kidnap the young Pokémon without alerting the enemy.

"Nightmare, is it... Darkrai?"

Roughly guessing the truth, Su Hao asked Latios with hesitation.

He thought that if Latios and Latias knew about the Nightmare Pokémon, then that was fine; if they didn't know, he could just give them a reminder.

Even if it was exposed that he knew some information about divine beasts, it didn't matter, because these legendary Pokémon didn't care about these things.

【Oh? Su Hao, you also know about the Nightmare Pokémon?】

Latios looked surprised; he didn't expect the human before him to also know about Darkrai, and even know the essence of Darkrai's power.

"I have some understanding of it."

It seems Latios knew about Darkrai, so there was no need for him to remind them to be on guard; Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

【Since you know about the Nightmare Pokémon, then it will be easier to communicate next.】

Since Su Hao had some understanding of the Nightmare Pokémon, then the things he was about to say would be easier to communicate.

Latios brewed for a moment and spoke slowly.

【The Nightmare Pokémon Darkrai, as a Pokémon that holds authority just like us, it would be fine if only a part of its power was picked up and utilized by those villains.】

【What Latias and I are worried about is that it chose to assist those villains, or that it was forced to.】

【The Nightmare Pokémon's strength is not just its combat power; the nightmares it can spread like a plague are what make it difficult to deal with.】

Latios looked worried; although he was a legendary Pokémon of the same status as the Nightmare Pokémon, what he was adept at was not purification or the authority of sweet dreams.

He might be able to protect a small number of Pokémon from the invasion of nightmares, but he and Latias were only two Pokémon after all and could not take care of other creatures outside the secret realm and the island.

"Then can we look for the Sweet Dream Pokémon, Cresselia?"

Su Hao proposed his own idea; as the opposite side of the Nightmare Pokémon, the Sweet Dream Pokémon possessed the authority of sweet dreams and could restrain the nightmares spread by Darkrai.

【As for Cresselia, it's a pity, we don't know where it is now.】

Latios didn't know where Cresselia was now, otherwise he could have completely invited Cresselia to resist Darkrai together.
