Phi-Fic Chapter 1346 Nightmare Level
Chapter 1346 Nightmare Level
Chapter 1346 Nightmare Level
The future city of Miare.
Unlike the present-day central city-state of Carlos, the Miare it knew, according to Darkrai, was a city that had been destroyed and rebuilt.
Destruction? Reconstruction?
Kashiwagi realized that this might be the original world of the anime, the original storyline where the legendary boulder went berserk and destroyed Miare City without his extra interference.
Darkrai's experience was that it was passing through Future Luna City when it sensed the evolution stone inside the Prism Tower. It sneaked in at night, discovered its target, and used the standard Dark-type Pokémon move, Steal.
Wild Pokémon are mostly born with the ability to pick up items, but they are not as diligent as Zigzagoon in doing so.
Darkrai never expected to find a bomb, which knocked him senseless and caused widespread chaos.
It didn't know what happened after that; it only knew to struggle for survival according to its instincts until it sensed the presence of the cypress tree and spent a great deal of energy asking it for help.
"Then why did you kidnap a child?"
"..."
Darkrai couldn't explain it; many things are done subconsciously, and if you ask him to explain, he simply can't articulate it.
Then the topic turned to the Evil Face Slab, and Kashiwagi was very curious about where it came from.
"I'm not... too... clear..."
Darkrai was a little confused.
It went berserk due to the effects of Mega Evolution, creating Nightmare Crescent Island and linking it to Snowpeak City, after which the Evil Face Slab appeared on it.
Kashiwagi frowned. Could it be that Arceus did this?
—The possibility is not high.
How could Arceus possibly burden a rampaging Pokémon with even more stress just to achieve its goal?
It has never been a schemer.
Kashiwagi stopped thinking about it and started considering another matter: the origin of the Darkrai Evolution Stone.
If I'm not mistaken, it most likely originated from the large mine in Carlos's Ice Cave.
What a rich mine!
He can easily count more than ten new super evolutions now, and who knows how many more new super evolutions will come in the future.
It's only a matter of time before the three-headed dragon is next!
Kashiwagi looked at Darkrai and asked, "Do you still have any attachments in your original world? Like the humans you know, or the Pokémon partners you're familiar with?"
"Hey..."
Darkrai pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
It knows quite a few humans and Pokémon, but when it comes to being close to any of them, it honestly believes it probably doesn't know a single one.
If it did, how could it feel at ease staying in Platinum Silver Mountain?
They've probably been thinking about going back for a while now.
Kashiwagi smiled and said, "In that case, you can stay at Platinum Silver Mountain with peace of mind."
"Hey~"
Darkrai had the same idea.
Although it didn't understand why Kashiwagi and the multi-faceted phone were so interested in where it came from, it certainly had no intention of going back.
To it, there was no difference between the two worlds.
Finally, Kashiwagi asked it if it had considered trying super evolution again.
"……No……"
Darkrai is quite afraid of evolution stones, just like Shiny Gengar, which was once tormented by Mega Wave.
Kashiwagi didn't press the issue. "Alright, come find me when you have an idea. I'll make sure you can safely undergo super evolution."
"……good……"
Darkrai nodded; it still trusted Cypress quite a bit at the moment.
The multi-faceted phone whispered in his ear, "Why don't you take this opportunity of our heart-to-heart talk to catch it with a Poké Ball?"
Subdue...
Kashiwagi was about to say it wasn't necessary, but then another question came to mind, so he asked, "Darkrai, would you like to add a set of security measures for yourself?"
Darkrai: "?"
"In this world, Pokémon like you are often coveted by humans. I'm sure you've encountered humans who wanted to capture you before..."
He briefly explained the benefits of being caught by a Poké Ball.
Pokémon hunters mainly catch Pokémon to make money, and once a Pokémon has been caught, it's like it has an ID card. Few wealthy people are willing to pay to buy a registered Pokémon.
Team Rocket steals Pokémon because they can use them internally. Just like how the Team Rocket trio would fantasize about that Pokémon serving Giovanni whenever they saw an unfamiliar one.
"Hey..."
Darkrai was perfectly fine with it; now it was completely obedient to Kashiwagi.
Bai Mu and Duobian exchanged a glance.
Immediately, a moon sphere was placed in front of it, and Darkrai reached out and touched it.
boom!
Open the Poké Ball and put it inside.
After it had completely quieted down, Kashiwa picked it up and scanned it with the encyclopedia.
Previously, the Lady Crown King said that Darkrai's level was over one hundred, but he wasn't sure. Now it seems he can confirm it?
"Cypress wood! It—"
The multi-faceted phone exclaimed in surprise, then paused before saying, "It's level 85."
Level 85?
As a Mythical Pokémon, this level is definitely not low, on par with Megalodon and only five levels lower than Calyrex.
But level 100 is still a long way off.
Kashiwagi released Darko, who was savoring the feeling of the ball when he inexplicably sensed that something was off.
"Hey?"
"Nothing's wrong, go have some fun." He waved his hand, indicating that Darkrai could leave.
Darkrai was bewildered, but still obediently flew away.
Kashiwagi and the Multifaceted Cellphone went to the Crowned King's garden to discuss the matter with it.
"Impossible! There's no way I, Gu Jue, could be so blind!"
King Rai-King instinctively denied it, but seeing that neither of them spoke, he frowned, 'Could it be that I'm mistaken?'
"Hard to say."
Kashiwagi came here not to refute the Lady Crown's judgment, but because "perhaps there is some special nature to the other dimension."
The environment has many additional effects on Pokémon.
Even without seeing it firsthand, this can be seen from Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Crystallization.
Nightmares, other dimensions, and the future city of Miarei—these elements combined give Kashiwagi reason to believe that XY Replica has created some kind of special system.
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to unleash power beyond their current level, so it's not unusual for new Mega Evolutions to bring new developments.
The answer may only be found in that parallel world that created the future city of Miare.
Kashiwagi was genuinely interested in this as well.
only……
He had to deal with another important matter first.
-
Sinnoh region.
The venue for the Alliance Tournament is Lily Island.
The announcement of the battle between Kashiwagi and Cynthia has spread across the internet, attracting trainers from all walks of life, including gym leaders and the Elite Four.
For example, the Sinnoh Elite Four: Daikichi, Kikuno, Shoku, and Aryu.
Of the current eight masters, only Da Ye remains as one of the Four Heavenly Kings; the other seven have been filled by champions. From top to bottom, they are—
Leon, Cynthia, Kashiwagi, Wataru, Karen, Daigo, Alice, and Daiyo.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Da Ye's position should be taken by Qi Bana.
Unless Raihan loses to Alain, but then Ash will face off against Alain and compete for the final throne of the Eight Masters.
But it was quite surprising that Alice was able to rush up so quickly.
"Da Ye, one of the Four Heavenly Kings! What are your thoughts on the upcoming matches?" A reporter stopped Da Ye, attempting to conduct an interview.
Da Ye laughed heartily, "My opinion is—sooner or later they will lose to me!"
After saying that, he laughed even more arrogantly.
This left Denji, who was standing next to him, speechless, as if he had seen something dirty.
The two were childhood friends, whether in games, anime, or manga. In the end, one became one of the Elite Four, and the other became the strongest Gym Leader in Sinnoh.
Upon hearing this, the reporter did not show any excitement at discovering a major news story. After all, Da Ye's personality had always been like this, and everyone was already used to it.
She continued, "Who do you think will win in the end?"
"Of course it is me!"
"Uh, I was referring to the upcoming match..."
"No matter who it is, I'm the one who will win in the end! Just wait and see!" Da Ye made a "wait and see" gesture to the camera.
He then abandoned the reporter and cameraman, leaving them frozen in the wind, and walked away with Denji.
After they had gone some distance, Dianci spoke up, "Why do you always have to do this?"
"Haha, isn't this what the league requires? They want me to create a persona to attract fans."
Da Ye's personality remains cheerful, but he's not actually that arrogant.
He was just trying to create a persona to comply with the league's requirements. Plus, he had met Cibana a couple of years ago and thought the other person had a great personality, so he copied him.
It's been quite successful, attracting a lot of fans.
Large leaves almost created path dependence.
Denji had reservations about this, believing that Da Ye's approach easily attracted haters and would eventually backfire on him.
Unfortunately, it was difficult to persuade his friend, and he knew that Da Ye didn't want to worry about this. Copying Qi Bana was the simplest path.
The two walked towards the stadium.
Although the match is not until tomorrow, many spectators have already arrived, looking at the empty field below.
"How about we go down and play a round? Let's ask the uncle to open the door!"
"Da Ye said with great interest."
His personality, like the attributes he possessed, was exceptionally vigorous and passionate, almost never settling down.
Denji shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's too much trouble. I don't want to be on the Sinnoh Evening News today—"
"It's no use not wanting to; you're already the main characters in the evening paper."
A soft voice sounded in my ear.
The two turned around and saw the Four Heavenly Kings, Wusong. He adjusted his sunglasses and said, "The reporters couldn't find the two champions, and you two were so eager to be interviewed, so we can only publish your photos."
"..."
Dianci's dejected expression revealed a hint of speechlessness.
Unlike the outgoing Da Ye, he is more introverted. At one point, he lost interest in battling and locked himself in the gym, leaving his badges at the entrance for challengers to take.
To be honest, the fact that this behavior wasn't audited by the league's prosecutors only shows that the league still values talent too much.
Perhaps it has something to do with his good friend being one of the Four Heavenly Kings?
In short, Denji hates showing his face in public, which is why he keeps refusing to take over Kikuno's position and become the next Four Heavenly Kings.
But Kikuno believed that Denji's attitude would soften sooner or later, and he would try to persuade him from time to time.
For example, right now, a gray-haired old woman, who seems to be a distant relative of Grandma Kikuko, is standing next to Gosho, looking at Denji with a big smile, and Denji feels a chill run down his spine.
"Uh, where's A-Liu?"
He quickly changed the subject.
Wu Song shrugged and chuckled, "Where else could he sign autographs for his female fans?"
A-Liu is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, famous for his good looks. The Sinnoh League has also given him that persona, and recently they've even been trying to get him to pursue a modeling career, but A-Liu said he needs to think about it.
As the weakest of the Sinnoh Elite Four, he also harbors ambitions to replace Cynthia. The idea of him casually taking on a side job that interferes with his trainer career makes him very hesitant.
He had just finished signing autographs for his female fans and was enjoying the admiration of countless girls when he suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.
But in the blink of an eye, the other person suddenly disappeared.
Ah Liu knew it was absolutely impossible.
He apologetically pushed aside the female fans, walked into the arena, found the other four Heavenly Kings, and whispered, "Kashiwagi is here!"
"Where is he?"
Da Ye looked around excitedly. He had long wanted to fight Bai Mu, but unfortunately he had never had the chance.
A-Liu shook her head. "I don't know."
Denji looked at him speechlessly, "I didn't understand you said he came?"
“I sensed it! Don’t forget! I lost to one of the Eight Masters last season!” A-Liu said seriously, “I’ll never forget that terrifying aura!”
Insects have a heightened sense of danger than ordinary people, and A-Liu, as a master of insect-related abilities, also possesses this trait.
His Zerg Alert told him that the man who had once toyed with him had arrived!
Without saying a word, Da Ye prepared to go out to search, with A Liu following closely behind.
Dianci and Wusong exchanged a glance.
Wu Song smiled and gestured for them to follow, and Dian Ci reluctantly followed the group ahead.
Gosho then looked at Kikuno, "Do you want to come along?"
"Hehehe, I don't need it, I can't handle the hassle." Kikuno refused with a smile.
Wu Song adjusted his glasses and walked off the field.
However, Lily of the Valley is so large that searching on their own without any clues would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
No matter how much they inquired, they ultimately found nothing.
after all--
Kashiwagi is having a secret rendezvous with Takeran!
"Half a month has passed, how are your preparations going?" he asked the dashing beauty before him with a smile.
Zhu Lan said, "You'll find out tomorrow."
Toot——
Her phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Kikuno. The first thing he asked after I answered was, "Takeran, is Kashiwagi with you?"
"How do you know?"
Zhu Lan glanced at Bai Mu and asked in surprise.
Kikuno laughed and said, "Don't forget, I'm good friends with your grandmother."
“That’s true, how could she not tell you about me?” Zhu Lan gave an affirmative answer, “I was indeed chatting with him.”
While the two were talking, Kashiwagi and Duobian were also communicating on their phones.
"See that? The champion has good taste! They switched to a multi-sided phone!" said the multi-sided phone.
Previously, Zhu Lan used a Rotom mobile phone, but now, upon seeing it again, it has become a multi-faceted mobile phone.
As for the ones that are eliminated, they'll probably be put on a shopping cart—
"You've done a lot too, constantly recommending it to others. Sooner or later, Rotom will send someone to assassinate you."
Kashiwagi praised the contributions of the multi-faceted mobile phone.
Sooner or later, Porygon II will be able to use his advantage of meeting the Elite Four and the Champions everywhere to make them all replace their Rotom Cellphones with Porygon Cellphones.
At that time, it was estimated that only the spokespersons would use Rotom phones—maybe they would use multiple phones in private?
After all, a mobile phone is for work, while a multi-functional phone is for life!
