Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 398 Darkrai: Oh no, I've become a substitute? (Seeking monthly votes!)
Cresselia and Darkrai are not the only Pokémon.

As far as Jing He knows, there should be at least three Darkrai.

For example, the one Darkrai captured, the one in front of us, and the one that could fight Dialga and Palkia against each other for a short time.

Darkrai, which can only contend with Dialga and Palkia, should be the strongest among them, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

They might even be able to steal the skills of the Void Slash and Time Roar.

After all, there really is such a Darkrai in the game, a free gift from an event.

The Darkrai in front of him, while not weak, was probably only at the level of a main Pokémon of the Elite Four.

So even though there was a threat, I didn't feel too bad.

"Ouch~~"

The moonlight accumulated on the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's body was increasing, and the high-hanging full moon made its already snow-white fur appear crystal clear.

Ok?
Noticing the changes in the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, Jing He couldn't help but shift her gaze to it.

"This is."

The power of the moon?!
Talk about it.

Ninetales, being an Ice/Fairy type Pokémon, demonstrates exceptional Ice-type talent, to the point that even Liu Po ​​couldn't help but praise it. As for its Fairy-type abilities...
It's not that Nine-Tails is weak in Fairy-type abilities.

However, whether in Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kanto, or Johto, Fairy-type resources are relatively scarce.

Learning a move is relatively much more difficult than learning other attributes.

The more important point is.

In Jinghe's memory.

While the Ice Six-Tails and Ice Nine-Tails can master the Moon Power technique, they do so through inheritance rather than through instruction or a learning machine.

This makes Jinghe need to consider whether the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox can learn this move through training.

If you invest a lot of time and resources but still can't learn it, it's a waste in every way, and it might even damage Ice Nine-Tails' confidence.

The power and effectiveness of the Moon Force technique are beyond doubt.

Not only does it have a high accuracy and power, but it also has a considerable probability of lowering the opponent's Special Attack, making it one of the most commonly used moves by Fairy-type Pokémon in battle games.

I didn't expect that.

The little guy gradually learned this trick from Cresselia.

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox looked serious and focused, while Jing He simply watched silently without making a sound to disturb her.

Anyway, it's Wusong's house, so if it gets blown up, so be it. Just don't hurt yourself.

suddenly.

"Ouch~!!"

With a long cry, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox reflected a full moon deep within its azure eyes, and the power it had been accumulating finally burst forth completely.

hum-

A pink sphere, surrounded by its nine tails, condensed and shot out in an instant.

Ok?
Cresselia and Darkrai, locked in fierce combat, sensed something amiss almost simultaneously, abruptly separating and retreating at the same time.

The moon power of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox flew through them, like a beam of moonlight, its light shimmering.

Cresselia and Darkrai also looked at the Ice Nine-Tails.

"Ouch."

The little guy stuck out his tongue a little shyly and quietly hid behind Jing He.

It says it didn't do it on purpose, but does the other side believe it?
Cresselia looked at the Ice Nine-Tails with some curiosity, but it did not sense any hostility from the Ice Nine-Tails.

But Darkrai
The first attempt to pull me into the nightmare failed, and this time I was almost hit by the power of the moon.
"Gurgle!!"

Tan Xiaoshi jumped onto the balcony railing and spoke in a deep voice.

The boss didn't do it on purpose, please give me some face!
hum-

Without a word, Darkrai immediately created a dark hole.

"Genga?"

Upon seeing this, Gengar narrowed its eyes and licked its tongue.

It was very curious about the differences between Darkrai's black ball and its own. It had just tried to imitate it and discovered...
Can't learn.

So, if you can experience it for yourself, you might discover something.

But before it could make a move, Jing He shouted:
"Apprentice Xiong, it's time to receive the guests!"

"Ku! zzz"

The only disciple who hadn't come out of the room heard Jing He's call and rushed out, taking three steps at a time. As Darkrai threw out the Dark Hole, he took the initiative to meet him.

hum-

A dark power instantly enveloped Xiong's apprentice, and the energy, like a black hole, devoured him.

Darkrai couldn't help but sneer.

It has never seen a Pokémon dare to actively greet a dark hole.

Even Cresselia, the goddess of dreams, would become drowsy after being hit by the Dark Hole, let alone...?
pat-

The bear apprentice landed beside Tan Xiaoshi and, under the moonlight, stood on the railing, practicing his boxing!

woohoo-

The powerful punches and kicks were dazzling.

Cresselia's eyes showed surprise. Darkrai's Dark Hole had failed?
Darkrai stared wide-eyed, utterly astonished.

How can it be?

"Ku! zzz"

But Xiong's apprentice's actions explained everything.

"Ahem." Jing He coughed lightly, adjusting her glasses. "Well, didn't you know that the hit rate of Dark Hole has been 'cut'?"

After all, in theory, the dark hole is just hypnotic and does not cause any attack damage.

Darkrai: ? ? ?
Unconvinced, it threw out another black sphere, this time taking even longer to condense.

hum-

As the dark hole shot straight toward the bear apprentice, the little guy didn't dodge, but just took it head-on, sigh, he just endured it.

then
Then, unsurprisingly, nothing unexpected happened.

“Ku~zzZ”

The bear apprentice stopped what he was doing and scratched his head.

Did something just happen?

A golden question mark appeared above Darkrai's head. Are there any Dark-type moves that are immune?
Believe it or not, Jing He also discovered that Xiong's apprentice seemed to be... a Darkrai.

Fighting-type moves are twice as effective against Dark-type moves.

Cresselia also looked at her bear apprentice with sparkling eyes.

This little guy
"Gurgle~"

Tan Xiaoshi patted Xiong's apprentice on the shoulder.

Very good, as expected of the partner who helped it save face the other day, it has helped it save face again today!
“Koo~(＾＾)zzZ”

"哓GA!"

Gengar slammed its fist into its palm, a look of sudden realization crossing its face.

So it was hypnosis!

The Dark Hole is an area-of-effect hypnosis technique. Although its primary target was the bear apprentice, it also sensed some changes within it.

If you had told me it was hypnosis, I wouldn't have bothered learning it.

When it comes to hypnosis, "Old Jing's hypnosis" is number one!

Darkrai looked down at his hands.

At this moment, it finally began to have a tiny bit of doubt about itself.

Perhaps it's because I haven't used it in a long time and I've become rusty?
It spread its hands out again.

This time, instead of using the Dark Hole, it was purely nightmare hypnosis.

They've hit a snatch!
"Genga~!"

Gengar grinned maliciously, leaped out of the balcony railing, floated in mid-air, and opened its arms towards Darkrai.

You should also try our "Old Jing's Hypnosis".

Darkrai and Gengar stare at each other.

hum-

Darkrai: !!!
Damn it!
Darkrai felt his eyelids begin to droop, and a wave of drowsiness swept over him.

More importantly, it could clearly sense that it was a nightmare.

Are you the God of Nightmares or am I the God of Nightmares?

this moment.

Darkrai began to have deep doubts about himself.

this.
Even Cresselia couldn't help but feel puzzled.

If ignoring the Dark Hole could be considered a mistake, then Darkrai's reverse hypnosis was something even it couldn't quite understand.

Cresselia's gaze swept over Jinghe's Pokémon.

Kushala Daora, Samurai, Gengar, Ninetales
When its gaze met that of the Ice Nine-Tails, Cresselia couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

"Ouch?"

Being bothered by Darkrai must be exhausting, right? Why not have a sweet dream?
Cresselia suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked away from the ice-cold Nine-Tails.

Damn it!
How could I, the mighty Dream God, almost have a sweet dream sent to me by another Pokémon?
While its lack of preparedness played a part, this also...
It doesn’t make sense!

"Woo~"

Dragonite patted its belly, looking somewhat uninterested.

Why aren't you all asleep?
If you're asleep, we can "wake you up."

"just!"

Should I go and give them a good whack?
"The master blacksmith suggested."

Darkrai and Cresselia exchanged a glance almost instinctively, both seeing barely suppressed astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Gengar."

Jinghe suddenly spoke up and waved to Gengar.

"Genga?"

Gengar looked at Jinghe, stopped "casting" the spell, and after seeing him wave, gave Darkrai a "friendly" smile before returning to Jinghe's side.

That guy's got some skills; I couldn't hypnotize it right away!
Gengar muttered to itself.

Jing He's lips twitched slightly.

It's supposed to be a nightmare god, even if it's just a nightmare god "baby". You can't hypnotize it so easily.

Darkrai.

Jing He used the power of waveguide to transmit his thoughts to Darkrai, "I know you mean no harm, this is just your instinct."

“I don’t need you to explain for me!” Darkrai waved his hand dismissively.

"I'm doing this for your own good," Jing He sighed softly.

Darkrai narrowed his eyes, his body swirling with a cloud-like aura of black and white energy, and said in a chilling voice:
"Are you threatening me?"

Jing He shrugged. "Then why don't you look behind you?"

Behind you?

Darkrai stared intently at Jing He for a moment, making sure he wasn't bluffing, then looked behind him and saw—

In the shadows not far behind it, Marshall was tiptoeing in, holding a small, black wooden stick in his hand, rubbing it gently.

"Marsha?"

Noticing that he was in Clay's line of sight, Marshall quickly hid the small stick behind his back, then turned slightly, tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, pouted, and whistled.

"Shh~sh~~"

The movements were executed in one smooth motion, just like Gengar's.

Darkrai:
Jinghe's cheek twitched as well.

Just look at how "contagious" Gengar is; it hasn't been long, and Marshadow already has Gengar's mark on him.

This has absolutely nothing to do with me; it's definitely because I've been hanging out with Geng Gui for too long that I've become like this.

Darkrai took a deep breath, turned around, and saw...
Gengar reached into its mouth and pulled out a large piece of Spirit Cloth, then wrapped it around its neck. Gengar has no neck, so it simply wrapped it around its mouth.

Darkrai felt a sudden chill run down his spine. Floating in the night sky, the black and white clouds around him swayed even more, and his aura fluctuated slightly.

Oh no, I became a substitute?

"Genga?"

Gengar chuckled mischievously and looked at Jinghe.

Do I look like him?
P.S.: My little one at home has a cold, fever, and cough, so updates may be delayed by about half an hour to an hour for the next couple of days. Sorry.
