I caught a Pokémon

Xiaoyao didn't know how to comfort her.

"It's probably not time yet. After all, the people on the island said that Darkrai usually doesn't appear in Canal City for a while. We've arrived too early."

Actually, what Xiaoyao said is right.

After all, even Darkrai hasn't appeared yet and hasn't caused any riots in Canal City, so how could Cresselia possibly appear ahead of time?

But when that time comes, it's obvious that Full Moon Island will be filled with trainers trying their luck. Even if they do encounter Cresselia, they won't have a chance to get close or make a move.

Not to mention, Cresselia might not even appear on this island.

Whether it's the construction of the altar or the legend of the Dream God on Full Moon Island, it's probably just wishful thinking on people's part.

Whether it's true or false, who can truly be sure?

"That's true, we must have come at the wrong time."

Xia You glanced at Cattleya and saw that although she tried her best to appear indifferent, her expression was still somewhat downcast. She pondered for a moment.

"Actually... I have a different opinion."

With just one sentence, both Xiaoyao and Jiadelia looked over at the same time.

Cattleya didn't seem to think anything of it.

After all, she hadn't known Xia You for very long and didn't know much about this man.

But Xiao Yao had truly experienced Xia You's luck and unique ideas firsthand, so when she heard him say this, her eyes lit up.

"Brother Xia You, do you know something?"

"How would I know anything?" Xia You shook his head with a smile, but meeting the gazes of the two women, he still said, "I just believe that there must be a reason why this altar is built on this Full Moon Island. Although Cresselia has not appeared yet, I think... it must be because the conditions for its appearance are not yet met!"

Chapter 1106 A Free Gift

"The conditions aren't enough?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled. "What conditions?"

Cattleya, standing to the side, pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Every year when Cresselia appears, it's because Darkrai causes a commotion, plunging the people of Canal City into nightmares. Could it be that the people's nightmares, or Darkrai, are the conditions that make it appear?"

“That’s right.” Xia You nodded approvingly at Cattleya and continued, “This is indeed a necessary condition for Cresselia’s appearance. If Darkrai hadn’t caused such a commotion, I don’t think it would have shown up.”

Haruka was a little confused: "Isn't this still the same problem? If Darkrai doesn't show up, then Cresselia naturally can't appear either!"

“That’s right.” Xia You snapped her fingers. “But you’ve clearly overlooked a crucial factor.”

Hearing him speak so mysteriously, Xiaoyao's ears practically perked up.

What factors?

Xia You didn't keep them in suspense and explained directly, "That's why Cresselia was able to appear immediately after Darkrai showed up!"

Cattleya was very intelligent and understood things almost instantly.

"You mean... it was actually nearby the whole time, and only showed itself after Darkrai appeared?"

Xia You nodded: "Even if it's not always nearby, it must have arrived in advance at this time of year. Otherwise, if it's too far away, it won't be able to sense Clay's presence, let alone stop it immediately."

Hearing him say that, both Xiaoyao and Jiaderia understood.

Because it happens almost once a year and has continued for many years, both Darkrai and Cresselia know that they will face each other at this time, so how could they not prepare in advance?

The reason Cresselia hasn't shown up yet is that it's waiting for Darkrai to appear and cause a commotion.

Of course, this is just Xia You's guess.

After all, they haven't seen it with their own eyes, so how could they possibly know the real situation?

But both Xiaoyao and Jiaderia were quite convinced after hearing these words and were willing to believe that this was the case.

Cattleya summarized: "So... if we want Cresselia to appear sooner, we need to find a way to lure her out!"

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean,” Xia You continued. “And I dare to guess that if there’s any place to hide, it’s definitely this Full Moon Island right here. Otherwise, the altar wouldn’t have been built here. It’s just that we haven’t found any trace of it yet.”

"But..." Xiaoyao hesitated, "How do we lure it? Under normal circumstances... it shouldn't show itself, right?"

"At this point, it would require a powerful energy source to attract it, or some powerful Pokémon to force it to reveal itself."

At this point, Xia You turned her head to look at Cattleya.

"And I think that, apart from the Dark type energy that is the same as Darkrai's, only a powerful psychic ability with the same attribute as Cresselia could make it appear."

Like attracts like, right?

Upon hearing this, Cattleya understood.

It turns out that Xia You wanted him to use his power, or to lure it out with a psychic Pokémon!

only…

Is it really possible to do that?

Xia You was very confident in this method because she often did it, but Gadalia obviously had never used a similar method before, so she was inevitably a little unsure of herself.

Most importantly, although she is known as one of the Elite Four of the Unova region, can her abilities really attract the attention of the Dream Goddess?

Even with her Pokémon, she couldn't guarantee that releasing them would actually attract Dreamweaver.

But it's still a possible solution, so let's give it a try.

I really wanted to catch this Pokémon and didn't want to leave empty-handed.

As for whether it will succeed, all we can do is pray.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll try. You guys step back a bit."

After Xia You and Xiao Yao retreated, Gadria took out a Poké Ball from her equally exquisite waist pouch.

Compared to her own superpowers, she undoubtedly chose to trust her Pokémon more.

This is not to say that she is not capable; after all, as a famous super-powered beauty, no one dares to underestimate her.

If she overuses this ability, or if she gets too emotionally agitated, she might go berserk...

To avoid exposing her shameful situation to outsiders, she had no choice but to use this safe method.

As she gently opened the Poké Ball, a Gothic Lady appeared before Xia You amidst a flash of blue light.

As a Pokémon from outside the Sinnoh region, this was the first time Xia You had ever seen Gothic in person.

As the name suggests, this is a Pokémon designed based on the Gothic Lolita style.

Judging from its appearance, this Gothic lady is only about 1.5 meters tall. Her body is mostly black, with blue pupils, red lips, purple cheeks, and eight disc-shaped structures that expand out from the sides of her head like hair buns.

It resembles a human, yet is clearly not human.

It has a white bow behind the protruding horn on its head, wears a black Christmas tree-like dress with four white bows on it, and its hands and face are purple, and it wears white bracelets.

As a Pokémon with the Psychic attribute, Gothic is known for its powerful mental strength.

It is not fond of conflict by nature and always presents a seemingly indifferent attitude. Influenced by powerful spiritual forces, the space around it will be distorted, and it is said that even the starry sky tens of thousands of light-years away can be reflected.

It also possesses the ability to predict the future based on the distribution and movement of stars, and can unleash powerful spiritual energy to plunge opponents into a dream that is both illusory and beautiful.

In short, based on the description, this is undoubtedly a very powerful Pokémon.

However, it must be said that the 'background information' is often exaggerated. Don't be fooled by how impressive the Pokémon Pokédex portrays the Pokémon; in reality, these Pokémon often don't exhibit those abilities.

While not entirely absent, their abilities have certainly been greatly diminished.

After releasing Miss Gothic, Gadriya pondered for a moment, then instructed her to use her superpowers towards the sky.

As Miss Goth placed her hands in front of her chest and began to slowly accumulate energy, a visible ball of light formed from her hands and grew larger and larger.

Once she had accumulated enough energy and could no longer condense it, Miss Gothic launched the ball of superpower energy into the sky.

The energy cluster flew straight into the sky, shining brightly in the night.

Once it reached a certain altitude, the energy cluster suddenly exploded, sparkling in the air like brilliant fireworks before quickly disappearing.

Xia You, Xiao Yao, and Jia Deliya looked up at the sky together.

However, even after the energy had been gone for a long time, and they waited for quite a while, there was still no movement.

Cattleya made Miss Goth try a second time.

But even after the second energy cluster dissipated into the air, there was still no trace of the Dream God.

"Could it be that the energy is too weak?" Xiaoyao asked tentatively.

“That’s possible, then I’ll add another one!” Gadria nodded, took out another Poké Ball from her pouch, and released a second Pokémon.

This time, a Dream Eater appeared beside Miss Gothic.

This is yet another non-Sinnoh Pokémon.

It looks somewhat like a tapir, with a body length of over one meter, a light pink head and a pale purple back, and its body is curled up like a ball, making it impossible to see any specific details.

Its eyes were tightly closed, with a peach-pink blush extending from its eyelids, and pink dream smoke rising from its head, drifting in the air and swirling around Dreamy Erosion's entire forehead.

It is generally believed that the Dream Eater and the Hypnotic Tapir share a common ancestor.

It is always dozing and dreaming, and it can materialize the dreams it eats. The smoke coming out of its forehead is filled with the dreams of many people and Pokémon.

These wisps of smoke change into various colors and transform into objects that appear in the dream, depending on the content of the dream it contains.

When it emits black smoke, it is best for all living things in the vicinity to stay away from it, or the nightmare will come true.

May seemed very curious about the Pokémon Dreame, and kept looking at it as it floated in mid-air.

Cattleya also had Dream Eclipse use its superpowers and shoot it into the sky.

Even with the addition of Dream Eclipse, Cresselia still couldn't be lured out.

Just as Gadriya was about to try again, Xia You suddenly stopped her.

Looking curiously at Xia You, Gadria was about to ask a question when she saw Xia You circling around Mengmengshi, as if she was thinking about something.

This also puzzled Gadria.

Before she could speak, Xia You smiled and said, "I've thought of another way."

"any solution?"

"I only remembered this after seeing the Dream Eater," Xia You explained. "Since Darkrai caused nightmares, which attracted Cresselia, can't we also use the Dream Eater to cause nightmares and replicate that?"

How to replicate it using Dreamy Eclipse?

Xiaoyao asked in surprise, "Will this work?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Xia You shrugged. "Unless you have a better way."

“But…” Xiaoyao still hesitated, “Darkrai’s nightmare and Mawache’s nightmare should not be the same, right? It feels like Darkrai traps a person’s consciousness in a dream, while Mawache simply makes people have nightmares. There must be a difference in energy between them.”

"That's why we should give it a try. Maybe it will actually work." Xia You was quite optimistic. "Even if there are some differences, since Cresselia isn't too far away, it will surely come to take a look, right?"

Actually, there was something else he didn't say: he felt that with the strength of Caitlia and her two Pokémon, and using this method, they might never be able to lure Cresselia out.

In his original plan, it should have been a superpower energy wave generated after an intense battle, not such a calm display.

But in front of Cattleya, he was too embarrassed to say something like, "Your two Pokémon are a bit weak."

In any case, the decision rests with Cattleya herself.

If she really can't manage, I wouldn't mind helping her out.

However, it is clear that Cattleya still values ​​Xia You's opinion.

Most importantly, even she herself didn't think that simply using her moves like that would lure Cresselia out.

“It’s worth a try,” she asked, “but who should we target?”

“Too few won’t do.” Xia You smiled and took out five Poké Balls from her waist pouch. “So at this time, we need some ‘volunteers.’ Alright, Xiaoyao, you can have your Pokémon come over too.”

"Oh? Oh, okay."

Just as May went around to summon the Pokémon she had used for training, Xia You looked at Cattleya again.

"Keep your Pokémon for now. Cresselia could appear at any time. If it does, use your Pokémon to entangle it immediately."

"Thank...Thank you."

Cattleya whispered a thank you.

For some reason, her ears turned slightly red at that moment.

To be honest, Xia You's dedication to helping her really touched Jia Deliya.
