And in the Galar Region, there's still so much, so many unknowns to uncover. Heading over there early to prepare doesn't seem like a bad idea?
"I've made up my mind. I'm heading to Galar to challenge this Qibana. Besides, most of the gym leaders there are among the top 100, securing a place among the Eight Masters should be a shoe-in."
Fang Yuan took a deep breath. The Galar Region should be his final destination.
After finishing the championship finals there, it would be time to return to Earth.
Having made his decision, Fang Yuan entered the Baiyang Town Secret Area...
...
...
In the Baiyang Town Secret Area.
Under the witness of the Space-time Three Dragons, Fang Yuan's main Pokemon, and seven wild Darkrais.
Baiyang Town's Darkrai and Fang Yuan's Darkrai engaged in an ultimate showdown.
One was an ordinary Legendary Darkrai, wielding Legendary Nightmare Power.
The other, a level below in terms of quality and ability, but possessing the Space-Time Power that when combined with Nightmare Power could rise above its station to challenge High Legendary Level.
At the Near-Legendary Level, one begins to possess the ability to contend with Legendary creatures, though the power remains unstable; at this moment, Eevee, Armed Magnetic Monster, and Monferno are all in this situation.
Even if they could hold their own against High-Level Legendary Pokemon for a brief moment, it doesn't change the fact that they're still too small and have shortcomings.
However, overall, this level could still be considered Legendary.
The dark Nightmare Realm enveloped both sky and earth within Baiyang Town's Secret Area. Within this realm, the two Nightmare Gods collided incessantly!!
For Baiyang Town's Darkrai, a full-strength Evil Wave could harm a Legendary creature, and a full-power Dark Hole could even induce hypnosis on Legendary beings.
As for Fang Yuan's Darkrai, only the "Dreamland" Power, which was a combination of Nightmare Power and Space-Time Power, could potentially harm a Legendary creature.
The latter clearly required greater exertion than the former.
Under normal circumstances, Baiyang Town's Darkrai would hold a significant advantage, but because they were both members of the Dream God Clan, ordinary hypnosis moves would not affect each other, putting Baiyang Town's Darkrai at a disadvantage.
While its Dark Hole couldn't affect Fang Yuan's Darkrai, Fang Yuan's Darkrai could combine its unique Dark Hole move with Spatial Force to create a special attack move that produced phantom Pokemon.
Due to the different approaches to harnessing Nightmare Power, Fang Yuan's Darkrai gained the capital to do battle with Baiyang Town's Darkrai, and what they were competing for was the title of the strongest Darkrai.
"Who will win, who will win?"
"Fang Yuan, who do you think will win?"
Little Hoopa, nervous, watched intently beside Fang Yuan.
Eevee and Victini, as well as the others, were also spectating keenly.
"It doesn't matter," said Fang Yuan, stretching lazily, not too concerned, or else he would've already gone to assist with the Power of the Heart.
After this, Baiyang Town's Darkrai would still remain in Baiyang Town, silently guarding this place.
The other wild Darkrais, those who wished to stay, would remain in Baiyang Town, where the gardens offered ideal habitats for them. Those unwilling to stay would be sent home by Little Hoopa.
As for Fang Yuan's own Darkrai... this clearly wasn't the end of the road.
"Merely becoming the strongest Nightmare God isn't enough; its aspiration is to become the strongest Dream God."
Fang Yuan's Darkrai, from its early days hidden on Nightmare Island, understood the plight of the Darkrai clan. Its experiences with Dream God on Earth showed it that Nightmare God and Dream God were not mortal enemies. Its stay in Baiyang Town allowed it to listen to many stories of its own kind, giving rise to a desire for change. Now, Fang Yuan's Darkrai had a new dream: it wanted to end the opposition between Nightmare God and Dream God, helping the Dream God Clan to cooperate and support each other, to ensure that every newborn Dream God could grow up safely and healthily.
This had become the joint aspiration of the gathered Darkrais after their exchange.
Boom!!!
In the skies, the two Darkrais collided once again, stirring up clouds of dust.
The outcome had been decided.
Darkrai had won.
