Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 296 Landing on Crescent Island!

"What can I do, meow! If it weren't for Musashi, you always getting beauty treatments, we wouldn't be struggling to make ends meet here! I wouldn't be in this situation—"

"What did you say!!!"

Before Meow Meow could finish speaking, Musashi began frantically tearing at its face, intending to reason with it.

Kojiro, who was watching from the sidelines, did not express his opinion; he just felt something was amiss.

Actually, when Meow Meow was planning to build this machine, Kojiro already sensed something was off, but they were so engrossed in the project that he didn't say anything.

But now, in order to protect the friendship between Meow Meow and Musashi, he felt it was time for him to speak up.

"Do you think we're the cause of the nightmares that are starting to plague the people of Watervein City?"

"?"

Meow and Musashi had two big question marks above their heads, and their eyes looked at Kojiro with a hint of pity and sympathy.

"At this point, what strange questions are you still asking?"

Musashi got up, put Meow Meow down, and tossed his long hair, which he was very proud of.

"If it wasn't caused by this broken machine, then what could it be? Were all those nightmares we've been having these past few days just illusions?"

Musashi's tone was very displeased.

Two sleepless nights and her bickering with Meow Meow had already pushed her to the brink of exploding. Now, Kojiro has said something completely nonsensical. It's amazing that Musashi can still patiently communicate with him.

Meow Meow, however, fell into thought first after hearing these words.

Then, Kojiro added, "Think about it! When we first arrived in Watervein City, the residents were already a bit off, weren't they? Although it wasn't as serious as it is now, they were all yawning, weren't they? There were even several traffic accidents around here!"

Kojiro Chen recounted everything he remembered.

"If the nightmares that the people here were having actually started the day or two before we arrived, doesn't that mean I'm not wrong?!"

"..."

Musashi and Meow Meow exchanged a glance instinctively.

So it seems that what Kojiro observed was indeed the case.

They were actually aware of this, but at the time they were all immersed in the dream of making big money and eating lavish meals, so no one pointed it out.

Only at this moment did a new reason emerge in their hearts.

"Hey, Meow Meow, do you think it could be—"

"If what Kojiro said is true, then it can't be wrong, meow..."

The culprit causing the nightmares of the people here might be—

"Could the legendary Pokémon, Darkrai, have already arrived?"

"!"

That's right!

This is the truth!

While their nightmare-generating machines were indeed useful, it was Darkrai that truly impacted the entire City of Canal.

"If Darkrai really does descend, if we can capture it..."

"Promoted to a cadre position and appointed as a branch manager!"

"This feels so good, meow!"

"Sonams!"

Just as everyone jumped out to wish them a wonderful life that was about to begin.

A dark shadow had already descended above their tent.

His crimson eyes stared calmly at the source of his disgust, the nightmare machine created by the three members of Team Rocket.

Without a word, the shadowy figure conjured a shadow ball in each hand, gathering its violent power into a single point, and then hurled it at the trio.

"boom--!"

"boom--!"

"what!!!"

A series of explosions rang out, accompanied by the screams of the three people.

Thick smoke instantly turned the scene into a sea of ​​fire.

The Rockets' trio were also inexplicably blasted away.

"This feeling is awful!!!" x3

"Sonams!!"

After watching the Rockets' figures disappear like shooting stars, the shadowy figure finally withdrew its gaze with satisfaction.

However, it did not leave immediately. Its deep red eyes were now looking expectantly at a certain spot.

That location extends all the way to Crescent Island, where it temporarily resides.

It could sense that a suitable opponent was waiting for it there.

With that thought, its body transformed into a ghostly shadow once more, leaving the area with ghostly speed and flying swiftly towards Crescent Island.

......

It was already evening when we arrived at Crescent Island.

Actually, when Ash learned that they wouldn't arrive at Crescent Island until midnight while on the boat, he had already told Dawn and Brock that they didn't need to come along and could just sleep at the guesthouse in Canaley City.

Well, they probably won't be able to sleep until the Darkrai problem is resolved.

Upholding the spirit of being a team, the two naturally and firmly rejected Ash's suggestion.

Although in the legends of various regions, it is almost impossible for legendary Pokémon to harm ordinary people, the name Darkrai is really intimidating. If Ash were left alone, Dawn and the others would indeed be a little worried.

Several beams of light emanating from the helmet shone on the uneven rock face.

"I'll leave you here then. I'll come back to pick you up tomorrow morning, if I still have the energy."

Before leaving, the captain who brought Ash and the others here by speedboat gave them these instructions.

As a man of the sea, the captain's willpower and spirit are naturally better than that of ordinary people. However, faced with the insomnia that had been troubling him for many days, the captain was unwilling to expend any more effort to send people out to sea.

However, when the captain learned that Ash and his friends were headed to Crescent Island, where Darkrai was said to appear, and that Ash had explicitly stated he was there to try and solve the Darkrai problem, he understood—

He had to help with this.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight."

Xiao Guang thanked the captain politely.

As they listened to the fading engine noise of the yacht moving away from them, they knew that once they set foot on Crescent Island, there was no turning back.

The sea breeze was biting at night. Although the nighttime sea breeze should have brought a cool feeling, the wind, which had not been heated by any external factors, still made Xiaoguang and Xiaogang feel a little uneasy.

Moon stars are rare.

The natural light on the island was passable, but not to the point where they would have to discard their flashlights.

Moreover, with the chilly evening wind blowing, the massive clouds in the sky were slowly moving, and who knows when they would obscure the stars and moon that illuminate the night, plunging the world back into darkness.

P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
