Chapter 1344 Seducing Nightmares
"Hey...hey!?"
Darkrai snapped out of his daze and cautiously retreated.
Upon seeing the Pokémon in the room, it didn't hesitate at all, turning into a shadow and disappearing through the wall.
The multi-faceted phone was taken aback, "Kashiwagi!"
"take it easy."
Kashiwagi showed it the Darkrai Evolution Stone, "With this, no matter how far it runs, it won't cause any trouble, besides..."
It was Darkrai himself who initially sought his help.
Let it run if it wants to.
Dream was somewhat disappointed that he wasn't going after Darkrai. "What?"
"Go ahead and chase after him if you want."
Kashiwagi couldn't be bothered to chase after a Pokémon that could appear and disappear like a ghost; he could just let Hoopa catch it.
He glanced instinctively at Hoopa, who immediately understood, "Give it to—"
"Let's wait and let that guy calm down. He's been manic for so many years, he's probably mentally unstable."
Cypress wood pressed down on its nimble hand.
Then Hoopa was tricked by Gengar into playing video games.
After such a night of commotion, no one was in the mood to go back to sleep. Lucky Egg and Evil Pon started processing the tree fruits they had brought back from Nightmare Crescent Island.
But to be honest, even if they were properly processed, Kashiwagi wouldn't dare feed them to any Pokémon.
It definitely needs to be tested in a lab first.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, Meng Huan turned around a few times with a strange expression and went to bother the cypress wood that was preparing to fuse the Evil Face Stone Slab into the Thousand Universe Arm.
In the living room.
The outer shell of the grotesque stone slab peels away, revealing its colorful and crystalline interior.
Sixteen stone slabs emerged one after another like twinkling stars, with the grotesque stone slab swaying and merging into them, thus completing seventeen attributes in addition to the ordinary ones.
Just as Kashiwagi breathed a sigh of relief, a Poké Ball placed in the bedroom suddenly activated.
boom!
"Buzzing—"
Regirock suddenly appeared, shrinking to two meters in size, and slowly walked into the living room, raising its arms.
Cypress just happened to turn its head and saw the grayish-white stone slab on its arm.
"..."
"The eighteenth one!? Where did you get this tablet?" The multiverse phone was shocked. It thought the Evil Face Tablet would be the last one. How did Regirock have another one?
Could it be another system from a parallel world?
At this moment, Bai Mu spoke up: "It's the Clear Sky Stone Slab."
"Clear stone slab?"
Question marks appeared on the screen of the multi-faceted phone.
He replied, "Each stone tablet represents a different attribute. Don't you remember we've never gotten a stone tablet with a common attribute?"
The multi-faceted phone suddenly realized.
Kashiwagi was both surprised and conflicted. After all, if the inscription on the back of the stone tablet was true, wouldn't Regigigas handing over the tablet be tantamount to accepting his fate?
Then again, no wonder the destructive beam was so intense just now.
— Unlike Team Galactic, the stone tablets don't need to be activated; simply carrying them can significantly boost the power of a Pokémon's moves.
It's 20% in the game, but it's hard to say how much of an improvement it will provide in the anime.
Kashiwagi took the stone tablet from Regirock's hand. "Thank you. Did you get it from him secretly?"
"Buzz~"
Reggie Röck's tone had already given an affirmative response.
It's definitely less embarrassing to hand it over to the rock pillar than to give it to it on its own or to ask the cypress tree for it.
"Meow?"
“That’s right, another stone slab, and not the last one.” Kashiwagi thought of the legendary stone slab.
However, it is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain it directly from Arceus, like Regigigas did.
He brought the stone slab close to Qian Zhou's wrist, but unexpectedly the gem below lit up first, then grew larger and stretched out limbs and a head.
"Bang~~~Gah~~~!"
Talebagos let out a long groan of contentment, opened its bright, starry eyes, and met the gaze of Dream, who had curiously snuggled up to press its face against his.
The little turtle was so frightened that it stumbled back several steps, then accidentally fell off the coffee table, lying on its back with its limbs flailing limply. "Clatter! Clatter!"
It cried out repeatedly.
The fairy was amused and covered its mouth to laugh, flying around it, "Baa baa baa~"
"Baka!"
"Meow~"
Talebagos was helped up by Dream.
It glared angrily at the strange fellow, then turned and saw the cypress tree. It immediately ran over and climbed up its trouser leg, finally taking control of the high ground and arrogantly barking at it, "Baka~!"
Dream: "...Meow?"
Why am I being scolded for no reason?
Bai Mu ignored the two clowns and gazed at the clear stone slab as it peeled away its gray-white outer shell, revealing its pure form.
Eighteen gleaming stone slabs swayed, converging and merging into the Thousand Universes' wrist, illuminating the palm-sized object with dazzling brilliance. Then, it floated into the air and flew towards Cypress's chest amidst Talebagos's excited expression.
"Baka~!"
"Woo!"
Bai Mu groaned, pulled open his shirt to look at his chest, and found that Qian Zhou's wrist was nowhere to be found!
He was stunned, while Talebagos was in a panic.
"Baka? Baka!"
"Shh, don't shout!" Bai Mu immediately covered his mouth with his hand, frowning as he looked at his empty chest.
The little turtle struggled frantically, stretching its neck as if trying to find the Thousand-Bound Arm.
Kashiwagi had no choice but to take it off his head and point it at his chest, saying, "It's melted in, it's gone."
"Baka..."
Talebagos was shocked, his eyes wide open.
Dream flew over and stared at Cypress's chest, even flicking its long, thin tail to touch it, making him feel ticklish.
"Meow!"
"Stop babbling, something's not right." Kashiwagi frowned and reached out towards the vase on the coffee table.
The next instant, a phantom image of a shimmering blue Thousand-Dimensional Wrist appeared in the air, and water seemed to float out of thin air and fall into the vase.
The multi-faceted phone exclaimed in surprise, "You can use the stone tablet without the Thousand Cosmic Wrist now?"
"To be precise, it is the Thousand-Fold Arm that has become one with me."
Kashiwagi realized that collecting the stone tablets was simply Arceus's way of giving him this power.
But he couldn't understand why Arceus had given him this power, since he couldn't use it!
Could some cosmic-level crisis be about to occur?
Kashiwagi felt a chill and tossed the crying Talebages onto the sofa. "Lucky Egg! Come and comfort him!"
Because it had been clinging to Qian Zhou's wrist all the time, the little turtle had practically taken it for itself. Now that it had inexplicably lost it, Tai Le Bagostun suddenly felt like a child whose parents had given away their beloved toy to a relative, crying and fussing incessantly.
The dream circled around it, wanting to comfort it but unable to continue, and could only show a distressed expression, "Baa... Baa!"
It tugged at Bai Mu's clothes, trying to get him to think of a solution.
Kashiwagi was certainly trying to figure something out. He went to the bedroom, found Hoopa who was playing games with Gengar, and asked it for a Thousand-Bracelet.
Hupa paused, then, hearing the crying outside, asked curiously, "Little White, what's going on outside?"
Kashiwagi explained, "A child lost something, and I don't have a spare. I was wondering if I could borrow one from you temporarily."
"Ooh!"
Hupa reacted immediately, manipulating the light wheel handle to extend it inwards and then pulling it sharply!
In an instant, a head popped out from the halo.
It's Balzac.
He was startled, and after seeing the embarrassed Kashiwagi and the smirking Hoopa, he said speechlessly, "What are you guys doing?"
"Help! I urgently need a Thousand Cosmic Arm! Do you have a spare?" Kashiwagi clasped his hands together and prayed to Balza, who only had one head.
Balzac asked in surprise, "Where's yours? Don't tell me you lost it!"
"It can't be explained in a few words. It's not lost. I'll tell you the details when I get back. So, could you give me a Thousand-Cosmic Bracelet?"
As the cries outside grew louder, Kashiwagi prayed as if worshipping Buddha.
Balza sighed, "The Thousand-Bracelet is something we've passed down through generations; theoretically, there shouldn't be a spare. But I remember the cabinet in the middle of the house..."
He explained the location of the Thousand Cosmic Bracelet to Hoopa, who immediately freed his other hand to grasp it.
"Got it! Little White!"
"Thank you so much, I'll return it to you when I get back to Orei!" Kashiwagi said, expressing his deepest gratitude.
Before Balzah's head retracted into the halo, he warned, "Don't lose it, this is my great-uncle's Thousand-Cosmic Arm."
Great-grandfather's maternal uncle?
Which side's relative is this?
Kashiwagi didn't immediately think of it; his attention was entirely on Talebagos outside.
Back in the living room, he handed over the Thousand-Way Wristband.
Upon seeing it, Talebagos, with tears in his eyes, leaned closer to examine it closely, exclaiming, "Baka? Baka!"
No!
It pushed away Qian Zhou's wrist and continued to cry.
Kashiwagi patiently reasoned with him, "The original one has merged with me, and it's really impossible to get it back. You'll have to make do with it for now."
"Baka..."
Talebages was depressed; it still preferred the previous one.
Kashiwagi wanted to scare it, but seeing how sad the guy looked, he softened his tone and said, "Nobody wants this to happen. How about this, I'll make one for you myself when we get home."
"Baka?"
"How about the Thousand-Cosmic Arm, specially crafted for you, belonging to the Taleborgs?"
Hearing his gentle tone, Talebagos knew that the matter was beyond repair and could only sadly agree.
Dream breathed a sigh of relief.
The clever and quirky Pokémon really didn't know how to comfort a sad Pokémon.
Especially those who weren't actually amused by it and cried.
If you make it cry, it might even burst into laughter.
Hoopa saw that Talebages was no longer sad, so she went back to play games with Gengar.
After comforting the little turtle, Bai Mu began testing the Thousand-Bound Arm again.
He quickly realized that he was now comparable to a Pokémon, able to freely use various elemental energies.
Unfortunately, one must change their mindset in order to wield this power effectively.
“Let’s talk to Zhu Lan when she gets back to the hotel, then we’ll head back to Platinum Silver Mountain,” he said to Duobian Mobile and Dream.
The reason why Dream stayed even when it was bored was obviously because it wanted to benefit from Hoopa's light wheel.
It hasn't forgotten its purpose in going to the Orei region: to see Mewtwo.
The multi-faceted phone said, "Have you forgotten something?"
"Forgot something?"
Kashiwagi was stunned, then realized that one of the escapees hadn't returned—
Darkrai!
He suddenly felt something and looked out the window, where a ghostly shadow floated.
It was none other than Darkrai, who had run away from home.
It returned to its hotel room, looked at the humans and Pokémon present, and bowed sincerely in the manner of humans.
"Thanks……"
Why are you still stuttering?
Kashiwagi is amazing.
I initially thought Darkrai was in too much pain, which was why he kept stuttering when he spoke.
Is the result innate?
But this is clearly telepathy, so why is he stuttering?
The Crowned Queen suddenly appeared and said, "Perhaps it's a side effect."
"Meow—"
Before Dream could pounce on it, the Calyx vanished again.
The reason it's been hiding and not showing itself is because it's worried about this little thing.
Dream was greatly disappointed, "Meow!"
Ever since it fought with the Crested King, it had been quite curious about this guy. This time, seeing that it seemed even stronger, it immediately wanted to fight again.
The Crowned King was not about to agree; it didn't want to waste its energy on something meaningless.
Therefore, I have been avoiding the dream world.
But instead of giving up, Dreamy became even more courageous in battle when it couldn't see the Lacecrown!
This made the Queen of the Crown extremely annoyed by this persistent pest.
"Aftereffects..."
Kashiwagi's lips twitched as he looked at the humble and polite Darkrai, having a fairly good impression of it. "You've had a tough time, being tormented by the stone tablet and evolution stone."
Darkrai, upon hearing this, immediately lowered his arms in dejection, "Hey..."
It had indeed been tormented for far too long, so much so that it sought help everywhere and went through countless hardships to finally meet Kashiwagi, through whose power it was able to break free from its berserk state.
Darkrai was very grateful for this.
I went outside for a while and got some fresh air, which restarted my dazed brain and made it aware of its own situation again.
So I came back immediately to thank Kashiwagi and the other Pokémon for their help.
Where do you come from?
He asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
Darkrai was a little confused, "Hey..."
It really didn't know where it came from, let alone why Cypress had asked such a question.
The multi-faceted phone whispered, "Your question is way too advanced. Do wild Pokémon really have a concept of a world?"
"...My mistake."
Kashiwagi forgot that nine out of ten wild Pokémon are illiterate.
Darkrai: “…”
Although I don't know what they said, I still feel offended.
"Meow!"
The dreamlike creature stared at the multi-faceted phone, often secretly observing humans, thus understanding what they were saying.
At the same time, I also felt that I was affected.
The multi-faceted phone awkwardly turned away.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Darkrai in the short term, Kashiwagi asked it about its next plans.
This has brought up the question again.
Darkrai really didn't know what to do next.
"Hey..."
Maybe she's going to find a warm place.
Xuefeng City is too cold.
I didn't feel anything when I was walking around like crazy before, but now I just feel like I can't stand being here anymore.
Kashiwagi glanced at Duobian's phone and said, "Want to come to my house?"
As soon as he said this.
Pokémon suddenly appeared all around.
They exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a single message—"It's starting! It's starting!"
Trainers' grand plan to tame Pokémon!
Darkrai, bewildered, murmured, "Ee...?"
“There’s a big mountain near my home, but not many people go there usually. If you don’t like crowded places, you can stay there. If you like crowded places, you can come here.”
Kashiwagi still has a good impression of Darkrai.
Because this guy is really handsome!
If Cynthia was his childhood goddess, then Darkrai was his childhood idol.
Although the super-evolved form is a bit more abstract.
