Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 193 This... is illegal?

Darkrai was waiting under a big tree, its head throbbing, while Murkrow Mei stood on a branch above its head.

Xiao Mei did consider escaping, but the moment she made a move, Darkrai would grab her with Nightshade, leaving her no chance.

Gradually, it stopped running.

Since it couldn't escape, it stood on the branch cursing and swearing, putting its sharp tongue to the extreme.

"You little punk, all you know is underhanded tricks. You even tried to threaten An Jie? Just wait, when An Jie comes, she'll smash your head in. I'll be laughing my head off then..."

Murkrow is already one of the smartest Pokémon, and with exposure to the internet and a wealth of knowledge, it will only become smarter, which is why it never repeats the same insults.

"Dark~~" Shut up!

Darkrai finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared at Mei.

However, Xiao Mei roared even louder than it.

"So what if you have a loud voice? You white-haired monster, you don't think you're cool just because you dyed your hair white, do you? How tacky! You old bumpkin! Look closely, this all-black outfit is what I call beautiful. You fashion-challenged fool, do you even know what a vibrant, multicolored black looks like? Black is the ultimate in beauty..."

As she spoke, Xiaomei struck a seductive pose.

Darkrai felt as if a hundred flies were buzzing in his ears, and his forehead was throbbing.

It's truly a terrible thing to have taken such a hostage—no, a precious one!

Just as Darkrai was about to reach its breaking point, it suddenly sensed a powerful entity approaching it.

Even just sensing the other's presence made it tremble all over.

What's going on? Who is it?

Sensing Lord Yveltal's presence, Xiaomei excitedly hopped and skipped on the tree branch.

"Hahaha~ You little punk, your people are here to deal with you. I'm just waiting to see you get beaten up!"

What do you mean? Has that human arrived? Xiao Mei's words startled Darkrai.

Impossible. Humans are definitely not that powerful. Last time, they were so scared that they ran away with their tails between their legs.

What to do? Should I run away? Darkrai hesitated, sensing the approaching danger.

"Hahaha~ You little rascal, are you scared? I knew it! I advise you to kowtow to me and beg for forgiveness right now, and I might put in a good word for you!"

Having grown accustomed to being around Yveltal, Mei completely disregarded Darkrai, the Mythical Pokémon, and cursed it just like she would any other Pokémon on the plateau.

However, Darkrai was lost in his own thoughts and completely ignored Mei's incessant chatter.

No, it absolutely cannot leave! It must take the tree-pillow bear! The tree-pillow bear is itss, and no one can stop it!

Darkrai's expression gradually hardened, and his eyes began to flicker with light.

With that thought in mind, Ange and his group gradually came into Darkrai's sight.

Darkrai didn't hide; he just stood there casually under the tree, waiting for Ange and his group to arrive.

"Yami~ Yami~~"

As Ange and his group approached, Xiao Mei excitedly flapped its wings and flew over, but as soon as it flew away from the branch, Darkrai grabbed it in his hand with Nightshade.

"Yami~ Yami~" Damn it, it's that trick again, you just wait!

Xiao Mei was in pain from being squeezed so tightly, and started cursing again.

"Giggle~~" Little Mei!

"Yami~ Yami~~" Xiaomei, it's Xiaomei!

The leader of the crows and the dark crows cried out in alarm.

"Yami~ Yami~~~" Boss, Xiaoqiang, Anjie, Lord Yveltal! Help me!

Xiao Mei struggled and shouted.

Anja stepped forward and said, "Darkrai, I'm here. Release Xiaomei!"

"Dark~Dark~" Hand the koala tree pillow to me!

Darkrai spoke under pressure.

Although it was talking to Ange, its gaze was fixed on Yveltal and Xerneas, especially Yveltal.

"Impossible!" Anjie refused sternly. "You're not taking either Xiaomei or the tree-pillow koala with you today."

"Dark~Dark~~" The tree pillow koala is mine!

Darkrai roared in anger upon hearing this, its pale hair fluttering in the wind, and its dark energy surged up like flames.

"You're wrong, the tree-pillow koala belongs to no one, it belongs to itself!" Angie retorted.

"Dark~Dark~" You're talking nonsense, the tree-pillow koala is mine, mine!

Ange's words enraged Darkrai even more, and it casually swung its hand, unleashing a wave of evil energy towards Ange.

"You're asking for it!"

Volcanion was enraged, and his two arms on his back were aimed at the evil wave and Darkrai, respectively.

Two jets of water shot out from the pipes in its arms; one successfully thwarted the Dark Pulse, while the other struck Darkrai.

However, Darkrai nimbly dodged to the side.

With a loud bang, the tree was smashed into a pile of wood chips by the water jet.

Seeing this, Darkrai was about to launch another attack when the tree-pillow-like koala that was perched on Ange's shoulder rolled to the ground and rolled all the way to the opposite side of Darkrai.

"Tree pillow koala!" Angie called out to it.

The tree-pillow koala did not respond to Ange, and continued to confront Darkrai.

Darkrai and the Komamura had lived together for a century and knew each other very well. Darkrai immediately understood the Komamura's thoughts.

"Dark~Dark~" You want to challenge me?

Upon hearing Darkrai's words, everyone looked at the tree-pillow bear in surprise.

The tree-pillow koala slowly sat up, placing the tree pillow beside it, looking ready for battle, confirming that Darkrai's guess was correct.

"Dark~Dark~" You couldn't beat me before, but you think you can now?

Darkrai laughed!

The tree-pillow koala remained unmoved by Darkrai's mockery.

Indeed, it was no match for Darkrai before, but it is different now. After living with Angel and eating the various foods made by Angel every day, its strength has long since broken through to a new stage!

That's what gives it the confidence to challenge Darkrai.

"Dark~Dark~" Okay, okay, as long as you can beat me, I'll release Murkrow! But if you lose... you'll have to come with me obediently and never run away again.

Darkrai casually tossed something aside, using a shadow to hang Murkrow upside down on the tree.

Anjie frowned and asked, "Kapok koala, are you sure it's okay?"

Upon hearing this, the tree-pillow koala turned around. Although its eyes were closed, the expression on its face was unusually firm.

Anjie instantly understood that this battle was inevitable.

Suddenly, he had an idea, and then he beckoned to the tree-pillow koala, "Tree-pillow koala, come here for a second, I have something to discuss with you."

The tree-pillow koala rolled to Anjie's feet, and Anjie bent down to pick it up, then hid to the side and muttered to himself.

After a long while, they returned, and Anjay shouted to Darkrai:

"Darkrai, we agree to Komaru battling you, and I've agreed to your conditions, but our conditions aren't just about you releasing Murkrow!"

"Dark~" What other conditions are there?

Anjie said, "Since the Koala lost and has to obediently go with you, then you, having lost, also have to obediently go with us and from now on, listen to the Koala's every word!"

His demands corresponded perfectly to Darkrai's, and there was nothing excessive about them.

Darkrai hesitated upon hearing this, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

Lose? It can't possibly lose to a tree-pillow koala!

Moreover, it couldn't refuse in this situation. The opponent was clearly stronger than it, and if it refused, it couldn't guarantee that the two seemingly dangerous Pokémon wouldn't attack.

"In that case, let the battle begin!"

As she spoke, Angel put the tree-pillow koala on the ground, and the tree-pillow koala rolled to the opposite side of Darkrai.

At this moment, Xerneas took a small step forward, and bursts of pink light emanated from its body.

It activates the Fairy Aura ability, which boosts Fairy-type moves on the field, and Fairy-type moves are super effective against Darkrai.

At the same time, Darkrai also activated its Nightmare ability. Under the influence of Nightmare, Komaru in its sleeping state will continuously lose stamina.

Nightmare's traits and the Dream Eater skill are the reasons it's confident it can beat the Tree Pillow Koala.

After a standoff, the tree-pillow koala launched the first attack on Darkrai.

It leaped into the air like a cannonball, its force creating cracks in the ground.

The tree pillow in its hand shimmered with pink light as it hurled it directly at Darkrai.

This is a fairy-type skill called "Playful".

Darkrai quickly dodged when he saw this.

With a loud bang, the tree-pillow koala smashed a huge crater in the ground, sending dirt and grass clippings flying in all directions.

How can it be so strong?

Darkrai looked surprised, because the tree-pillow koala wasn't this strong when they fought last time.

However, it had no time to think, because the tree-pillow koala attacked again, and it quickly used Dream Eater to fight back.

For the Tree-Mouth Koboogear with its absolute sleep ability, there's no move better than Dream Eater.

Streaks of purple light emanated from the Komaru Tree Pillow and were then absorbed by Darkrai.

Dream Eater can damage the opponent while restoring the user's health, and the damage is considerable, provided that the opponent is asleep or has the Absolute Sleep ability.

Corrupted by the dream-eating, the tree-pillow koala showed pain on its face, but its movements did not stop at all, and it continued to attack Darkrai fiercely.

bang~

Darkrai was sent flying, crashing through several large trees behind him and snapping them in half.

pain!It hurts so much!

Darkrai realized for the first time how painful it was for a Komaru to hit someone.

As Komaru attacked again, a glint flashed in Darkrai's eyes. Komaru, who was about to use Playful Trick, suddenly realized that it couldn't use its move.

Darkrai used a spell to immobilize it, thus preventing the Tree Pillow Koala from using its Playful Ambition skill for a short period of time.

Without any hesitation, the tree-pillow koala immediately switched skills and used its wooden mallet skill to smash the target.

The wooden mallet's skill power is as high as 120, but its drawback is that it will cause one-third of the user's damage to be reflected back.

However, the Komaru didn't care about that at all and fought with a relentless, all-out effort.

Darkrai used Dark Pulse to retaliate, but Dark Pulse was directly defeated by Komaru, so it used Dream Eater once again.

Thud~~

Darkrai was sent flying again, and the Komaru suffered even more severe injuries from the backlash of the mallet and the Dream Eater.

The tree-pillow koala has developed great strength due to its long-term consumption of dishes made by Anjie using fermented soybean paste, and it can withstand the attack for a short period of time.

Seeing the Tree-Pillow Bear fighting so desperately, Diancie and Magearna's eyes revealed worry.

"Gang~ Gang~"

"Babu~ Babu~"

Meanwhile, Snorlax and Babubo kept pumping their fists to cheer on Komaru.

The tree-pillow koala's mallet pounded on Darkrai again and again, and its injuries grew more and more severe.

While dodging, Darkrai continuously increases the distance between itself and Komaru. It excels in Special Attack, which is mostly ranged, so getting close to Komaru is unwise.

As Darkrai rose higher and higher, the Komaru lifted its pillow and slammed it to the ground. In an instant, countless clods of earth rose up, turning into earthen platforms. The Komaru then leaped into the air, stepping on these platforms.

Darkrai hadn't expected the Tree Pillow Koala to have this trick up its sleeve, and was caught off guard by being hit by the mallet.

However, it also activated its dream-eating skill at the same time.

Both Pokémon screamed and plummeted to the ground.

Dream Eater helps Darkrai recover its strength, so despite being attacked by the Tree-Mound Koala multiple times, its injuries don't seem too serious.

In contrast, the Tree Pillow Koala, having been repeatedly corrupted by Dream Eater, suffers damage from Wood Hammer and is also affected by Nightmare ability, and looks to be on the verge of death.

Seeing this, Darkrai sneered, "Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Yes, how could it possibly lose to a tree-climbing koala? It was even a little worried beforehand.

However, at that moment, the tree-pillow koala pulled out a baby bottle, uncorked it, and started gulping down the milk. After finishing, it casually tossed the bottle aside.

Rays of light rose from the tree-pillow tail bear's body, and its injuries were instantly mostly healed.

The bottle contains Moo Moo Milk. Drinking it during battle has the same effect as using Milk Can to drink milk, and in the blink of an eye, the Tree Pillow Kobo becomes full of energy.

Darkrai's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.

Does this work too?

Wait, where did they take the milk from?

Unlike Darkrai's shock, Ange's face revealed a smug smile of triumph.

He had just called the tree-pillow koala aside so that he could give all the moo milk on his body to the tree-pillow koala.

Anyway, the Tree Pillow Koala has a system backpack, so it can hold as much as it wants.

Whenever a tree-pillow koala feels it can't hold on any longer, it can drink milk to recover. It can even drink several bottles in one go until it has fully recovered its strength!

This is a duel that will affect the future, so we have to use every means at our disposal. As for fairness, trainer spirit... that's all bullshit.

Besides, he's not a trainer!

Tianxi and Magiana were unaware of Ange's little trick before, and now, seeing this scene, they all looked at Ange speechlessly.

This is...too...too illegal...

At this point, the tree-pillow koala launched another attack on Darkrai.

The two Pokémon went back and forth like that.

As time went by, the tree-pillow koala had suffered countless dream-eating attacks. Despite the pain, it maintained a high frequency of attacks because of the energy replenished by moo milk.

Once the immobilization spell wore off, it used the Playful Aura skill again, and with the secret help of Xerniast's Fairy Aura, launched a desperate counterattack against Darkrai.

Looking at Darkrai, although it can replenish its stamina with Dream Eater, this method of replenishment has its limits and is very unstable, so it gets more and more tired as it fights.

After an unknown amount of time, Darkrai was once again knocked to the ground by the tree-pillow koala's playful attack, this time covered in wounds.

As the tree-pillow koala dragged the tree pillow closer and closer to Darkrai, it pulled out a milk bottle and gulped down its milk.

In the blink of an eye, the tree pillow koala finished a bottle of milk and regained its strength. It once again lifted the tree pillow and smashed it at Darkrai.

Darkrai wanted to hide, but it simply couldn't.

Tired! So tired!

Why did things turn out this way? It was clearly stronger than the Komamaki! Why did it lose?

Darkrai watched helplessly as the tree pillow grew larger and larger in its line of sight, eventually smashing into its forehead.

Darkrai collapsed into the pit, completely unconscious.

Won!

The tree-pillow koala stood dumbfounded next to Darkrai. It had really won, it had won against Darkrai!

"Kopita koala!" Angie shouted excitedly at the koala.

"Gang~ Gang~"

"Babu~ Babu~"

Snorlax and Babuboo danced with joy.

"Komata Koala, you beat Darkrai!" Ange shouted again.

The tree-pillow koala finally came to its senses.

Anjie!

It was Ange who helped it win against Darkrai!

Without the slightest hesitation, the tree-pillow koala rushed towards Ange and buried its head in his arms, forgetting even to pick up the tree pillow that had fallen to the ground.

Anjie gently stroked the back of the tree-pillow koala.

The tree-pillow koala's body was trembling, and its paws gripped Anjie's clothes tightly.

Even now, Ange doesn't know what kind of past he has with Darkrai, but he knows for sure that defeating Darkrai must have extraordinary significance for the Tree Pillow Koala.

Feeling the tree-pillow koala grip his clothes even tighter, Angie hugged the koala tightly, offering it emotional support.

After Darkrai fell unconscious, the shadow binding Mei disappeared automatically, and it fell to the ground with a thud, landing face-first.

"Yami~ Yami~"

It flapped its wings and flew up, angrily landing on Darkrai and stomping on it twice before excitedly flying back to the head crow.

After a long while, the tree pillow koala gradually calmed down. Anjie cleaned its fur, treated its injuries, and retrieved the tree pillow for it.

Anjie was probably too tired, because soon she heard a faint snoring sound coming from her arms.

At this moment, the tree-pillow koala's expression was extremely relaxed.

"Get some sleep," Anjie said softly.

He then walked over to Klay and took out a Poké Ball, throwing it at him.

That Poké Ball wasn't an ordinary Poké Ball; it was one of the two Master Balls he received as an achievement reward.

He had previously thought that the Masterball was useless, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

With the Masterball binding him, Darkrai has no choice but to keep his promise.

After the Master Ball flashed, Darkrai was successfully captured.
