I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Ye Feng defeated Articuno only with the combined strength of three Master-level Pokémon, as Articuno was only at the near-legendary level.

However, after the battle had been going on for a while, Ye Feng noticed that Darkrai was acting strangely. It was like a novice Pokémon with plenty of power but almost no fighting spirit. It was actually suppressed by the tacit cooperation of Gengar and Gardevoir.

What's going on? Ye Feng was filled with doubt.

Although many legendary elves are not good at fighting, Darkrai is clearly not among them; in fact, it is one of the more powerful ones.

Ye Feng observed carefully and soon discovered the reason.

Darkrai neither dodges nor avoids incoming attacks, yet sometimes fails to execute its attacks—something unimaginable for a legendary Pokémon.

It seems that, as Mew said, the evil forces have not completely controlled Darkrai. The two forces have been fighting within the same body, and the occasional presence of two different auras emanating from Darkrai confirms this.

Unlike Mew, Ye Feng wasn't hesitant to strike. He had no connection with Darkrai, and the Pokémon he was facing was incredibly strong. If he held back, he might get taken down by the opponent.

As for building a good relationship with Darkrai and catching it, forget it, wake up, catching Articuno isn't even a possibility yet.

Seeing that the battle was raging and Darkrai had no time to pay attention to this, he used the Summoning Ring to summon Hoopa.

"Huh? Mew, what are you doing? Are you fighting?" Hoopa yawned as it emerged from the light circle, surprised to see the three Pokémon locked in battle.

"There's no time to explain, take me back to get the Judgment Jar right now," Dream urged.

"Huh? Oh, okay." Little Huba nodded blankly, about to throw out the scooping ring, when suddenly she screamed in fright, "Waaaaah, Little Fengzi, stop it! It's coming this way!"

"Gardevoir, Moonblast! Gengar, Shadow Ball!" Ye Feng commanded his Pokémon to try and stop Darkrai, but was surprised to find that Darkrai was different from before. It seemed to have gone from a newbie to a pro, with its battle awareness suddenly increasing significantly. It easily dodged the attack and pounced straight at Hoopa.

"Damn it! Its target is Hoopa!" Mew's expression changed, and he stepped forward to block Darkrai's path, unleashing several wave missiles.

With a flash, dozens or even hundreds of Darkrai appeared, instantly surrounding the entire area.

The wave missile only hit a few of the clones.

"Little Hoopa, run!" Mew shouted, and with a wave of its little hand, swirling flames emerged from its fingertips, spreading rapidly and instantly eliminating more than a dozen Darkrai—unfortunately, all of them were shadows.

"Gengar, Gardevoir, Dazzling Gleam!" Ye Feng panicked. Why did Darkrai suddenly rush towards Hoopa? How did it find out?

Gengar and Gardevoir simultaneously used the Dazzling Magic, unleashing a dazzling light that instantly shattered all of Darkrai's clones.

"Where did they go?" Mew was stunned. All the clones were gone. Where was Darkrai?

"Gardevoir, switch places!" Ye Feng's eyes widened as he saw Darkrai emerge from the shadows behind Hoopa and reach out its dark hands to grab Hoopa.

Hoopa instinctively turned his head and looked at Darkrai, who had suddenly appeared. He seemed startled and stood there motionless.

Gardevoir's eyes flashed blue, and it instantly switched places with Hoopa. With a wave of its hand, a pink Fairy Ball was formed and thrown towards Darkrai.

Darkrai's eyes flashed red, and its figure suddenly disappeared, then reappeared behind Gardevoir. A black light flashed across Gardevoir's body—a surprise attack move that allows you to strike before your opponent.

Gardevoir let out a miserable cry and collapsed limply, instantly reverting from its Mega Evolution state.

"Gardedor!" Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise.

What's going on? How did Darkrai suddenly become so powerful? No, it was always powerful, but wasn't it acting like it couldn't fight just now?

"Ghost!" Gengar panicked, emerging from Gardevoir's shadow and throwing the Shadow Ball at Darkrai with both hands.

Darkrai vanished from its spot once more, reappearing behind Gengar. The same black light flashed, and Gengar collapsed to the ground.

Two surprise attacks instantly defeated Gengar and Mega Gardevoir.

With nothing in its path, Darkrai pounced on Hoopa and grabbed it, moving so fast that even Mew couldn't react in time.

"Little Hoopa!" Ye Feng exclaimed anxiously, throwing out Articuno's Poké Ball.

Articuno appeared with a long cry, and I was about to turn around and scold Ye Feng, saying that we should at least wait until we defeated it...

"!" Articuno's pupils contracted slightly as it looked at Darkrai with a solemn expression. What a strange Pokémon! It actually has two powerful auras on its body.

"Gagaga!" Strange laughter emanated from Darkrai's mouth.

"Let go of Hoopa! You bad thing! Let go of Hoopa!" Little Hoopa struggled fiercely, cursing incessantly.

But Darkrai seemed not to hear him and continued laughing.

"Finally caught you, hahaha!" Darkrai laughed, his voice incredibly strange.

Ye Feng's face paled. He suddenly realized something, recalling Darkrai's strange state earlier, and how it had suddenly become incredibly fast. Could it be...?

"You...you're Hoopa?! Hoopa's evil power? You were just acting?"

"I am Hoopa!"

Darkrai roared, "I am Hoopa! Not some Hoopa power!"

"Let go of Xiaohupa!" Ye Feng shouted anxiously.

"Hahaha, are you dreaming? We went to great lengths to trick you into bringing Little Huba here, how could we possibly let it go?"

Darkrai laughed, his body growing even darker, and wisps of black mist emerged from it, drifting towards Little Hoopa.

"Articuno, hurry and save Hoopa! Gyarados, Aggron, Arcanine...!" Ye Feng's eyes widened as he threw out all the Poké Balls.

Articuno let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and flew towards Darkrai, spitting out an Ice Beam at the same time.

Suddenly, a dark red energy beam descended from the sky, shattering the Ice Beam's attack and continuing its trajectory towards Articuno.

Articuno rapidly increased its altitude to dodge the attack.

"What?!" Ye Feng looked up in surprise and saw a black elf appear in mid-air at some point, looking at them with a pair of eerie, cold, multicolored eyes.

"What...what kind of spirit is that?" Ye Feng's eyes widened.

Chapter 347 In Crisis

Ye Feng had never seen such an elf before.

Its entire body seemed to be composed of black crystals, with two slender, four-sided prism-shaped arms extending from its sides, and a pair of huge black hands almost as big as its body, with three sharp claws at the ends.

The legs are thin, especially the calves, and the feet are square prisms slightly larger than the legs, each with three toes that bend forward. The front of the left and right sides of the body has serrated edges, and there are two triangular pyramids protruding upwards on each shoulder, with the arms connected in the gap between the two pyramids.

"What kind of spirit is that?" Ye Feng's pupils contracted.

He had never seen this elf before, and it exuded a chilling aura.

It's not that it's incredibly powerful, but rather that it exudes a very dark aura, as if it has lost its light and been swallowed by darkness.

"I don't know, I've never seen it before." Mew looked at the elf with a serious expression. "But I have a rough idea, this is the Shadow Elf that the Three Saints were talking about."

"How did it get here?" Ye Feng gasped. Not only did it appear suddenly, but it also seemed to be in league with evil forces, blocking Articuno and its companions for him.

"Oh right, Hoopa!" Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise. Looking at Darkrai's side, Hoopa was gone, and Darkrai lay motionless on the ground, with only a ball of black energy churning around.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Suddenly, bursts of laughter emanated from the black energy, and a figure rapidly grew larger, soon appearing before everyone.

Ye Feng recognized it at a glance: it was Hoopa in its liberated form, with Little Hoopa having regained all its power. However, it was now exuding an evil aura and was extremely dangerous, completely losing its cute and innocent appearance.

Hoopa waved his six hands on either side of his body and clenched his fists in satisfaction: "Finally got it, my body! Hahaha!"

It's over! Ye Feng's face turned pale. Little Huba's body had actually been taken over by evil forces. How could things have developed to this point?

"Where's the Judgment Pot?!" Ye Feng asked Dream in a low voice.

"I haven't had time to get it yet," Dream replied helplessly. The incident happened so suddenly; the Judgment Pot was still lying on the World Tree.

"What do we do then? We don't have a Smite Bottle..." Ye Feng looked around: Articuno, Gyarados, Arcanine, Aggron...

"Can you beat Hoopa?" Ye Feng could only pin his hopes on Dream.

"I can't beat it." Mew shook its head decisively. If it could beat Hoopa, would it need to go through all that trouble to reforge the Judgment Jar?

"What should we do then? Speaking of which, why was Little Huba's body taken away like this?" Ye Feng angrily punched himself; the turn of events was too sudden.

"Could it be that their target from the beginning was Little Hoopa? But how did they know we could summon Little Hoopa?" Dream said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Meng Huan's words, Ye Feng's first reaction was that there was a traitor among them.

But after thinking it over, he really couldn't figure out who the traitor was.

"Never mind that for now, I think we should run first." Ye Feng was sweating profusely.

Hupa was staring at them with its scarlet eyes, clenching and unclenching its fists repeatedly. Ye Feng could even feel its aura slowly rising.

"You go first, I'll hold them off," Dream said.

"What?!" Ye Feng stared at Dream in shock.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go, they can't do anything to me!" Dream urged.

Hoopa had already raised both hands, and black energy was gathering. The next second, a wave of evil energy swept towards them.

"Run!" Mew rushed forward, its body bursting with colorful light, blocking the attack of the Evil Wave.

"Let's go!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth, took out a Poké Ball to recall Gengar and Gardevoir, and called his Pokémon to prepare to escape, but the next moment a black figure blocked his way.

The shadow elf clasped its two enormous hands together, and violent energy rapidly gathered, transforming into a dark red energy beam that attacked Ye Feng.

"Stop it!" Ye Feng's eyes widened.

Arcanine opened its mouth and breathed out flames, Gyarados fired Hyper Beam, Aggron summoned a giant rock, Kingdra spewed out a dragon-shaped energy blast, Togekiss threw out Aura Sphere, and Articuno hesitated for a moment before firing Ice Beam.

Several attacks and energy beams collided, causing a violent explosion. Ye Feng managed to avoid being blown away by holding onto Arcanine.

"Does this guy not want me to leave?" Ye Feng gritted his teeth.
