Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

The combat illusions and training illusions that Su Hao mentioned are things she cannot achieve.

------------

After settling Incineroar with Brimwyn, Su Hao, as usual, gave Brimwyn and her junior a Pokémon as a gift.

He said goodbye to Mibrim and Tibrim, who had received gifts and were noisily surrounding Su Hao, wanting to send him out of the forest.

He led the ugly fish to a lake with a waterfall.

"Uluru~"

It's so much more comfortable in the lake!

"Indeed, the fish tank is too cramped. Once you evolve, you will be able to move around on land for quite some time without water."

He scooped up a small puddle of water from the lake and exclaimed in admiration at the crystal-clear water, "This is the cleanest water source I've ever seen."

"Uluru~"

[This is all thanks to my older brother and sister, Su Hao. When do we start training?]

"Then let's get started!"

------------

A week later.

During this week, Su Hao took Ugly Fish to the lake for very basic physical training.

To Su Hao's surprise, he thought that Uglyfish, having lived a very pampered life since it was a baby, would not be able to withstand the hardships of training.

Su Hao realized he might have underestimated Ugly Fish.

Even when the ugly fish is swimming with a load that exceeds its own weight, it never complains of being tired or wants to rest.

Every time, Ugly Fish breaks through its own limits and goes further. Seeing Ugly Fish working so hard, Su Hao is also inspired!

Even non-flammable materials can catch fire one day, let alone when he sees Ugly Fish working so hard, what reason does he have to rest?

It has been three months since he awakened his aura power, and he has already reached the intermediate level of aura power, and he is still slowly improving every day.

This has been documented in my experience with waveguides.

When you have cultivated your aura power to the point where it can cover your body, you can go to the waterfall and temper your mental power, physical body, and aura power under the waterfall.

Immersed in their training, time flew by, and Su Hao and Ugly Fish trained under the waterfall for a whole week.

At the appointed time, Su Hao, along with the much stronger Ugly Fish, brought back Little Diamond and Blazing Roaring Tiger.

During her week of training, Diamond Shard learned the mental meditation technique from Gardevoir, which gave her more precise control over her psychic abilities.

The little diamond can now use its superpowers to lift itself up and fly freely in the air, achieving an epic boost in mobility!

She also unexpectedly learned the attack technique called "Mental Power".

After experiencing various emotions firsthand in the illusion, Blazing Roar Tiger, under Brimwyn's step-by-step instruction, is now able to control the generation of emotional energy.

According to Blazing Roaring Tiger, when he was manipulating emotional energy to enhance the power of the flames, he seemed to feel that emotional energy could not only be used as fuel for the flames, but could also be integrated into the flames.

Unfortunately, the Blazing Roaring Tiger tried many times but couldn't get the hang of it.

Su Hao noted down his discovery of the Blazing Roaring Tiger. Just as he was about to consider the subsequent training plan, a gust of wind blew up.

Su Hao rubbed his eyes, which were almost filled with sand, as the sand had gotten into them.

"Na na!" "Ka ao!" "Woo ru ru~~"

Three Pokémon cried out with different emotions. When Su Hao slowly opened his eyes, two red and blue jet planes appeared in his line of sight.

Pokémon: Latios

Type: [Dragon + Psychic]

Gender: [♂]

Feature: [Floating]

Rank: [Second-Tier Legendary]

------------

Pokémon: Latias

Type: [Dragon + Psychic]

Gender: [♀]

Feature: [Floating]

Rank: [Second-Tier Legendary]

Latios has a streamlined body like a jet plane, with the rear half of its body being blue and having wings like jet plane wings and feet like fish fins.

He has red triangular patterns on his chest, the upper half of his body is white, he has triangular ears on his head, and his face is white with a white pentagonal pattern in the center.

Apart from being slightly smaller than Latios, Latias's appearance is only slightly different from Latios's in color and some minor differences, which will not be discussed further here.

[Su Hao, thank you for your hard work.]

Latios's steady male voice rang out.

The Heart Droplet has been purified, and Latias and I have unleashed divine punishment upon those intruders.

Latias and I attempted to read these people's memories.

Unfortunately, their minds are haunted by nightmares of the same kind as ours, making it impossible for them to access their memories.

------------

After reading the comments, if you readers don't want any fanfiction, then we'll leave it as is. Feebas will evolve into the Water-type Milotic as usual, and the protagonist's fourth Pokémon will be caught near the third gym. I'll collect a list of Pokémon that readers would like to see, and then it's up to you to decide. This time, I plan to catch a shiny Pokémon!

Finally, congratulations to myself for passing both my driving tests (Part 3 and Part 4) on the first try today and getting my license!

Latias and Latios discover the camera

Chapter 53 Nightmare God

Nightmare?

Su Hao was quite concerned about the nightmare that Latios mentioned.

Speaking of nightmares, we can't help but mention the mythical Pokémon Darkrai, which debuted in Generation IV.

Dakley

Darkrai, a pure Dark-type Pokémon, possesses the power to put humans and Pokémon into a deep sleep and cause them to have nightmares.

Su Hao had seen the movie in which Darkrai appeared as the cover legendary Pokémon, where Darkrai, as a mythical Pokémon, single-handedly fought against two high-ranking legendary Pokémon, Dialga, the god of time, and Palkia, the god of space.

With his cool and handsome appearance and the strength he showed in the movie when he fought against the two gods of time and space, he gained many fans.

Based on the information Latios provided, Su Hao had to make the worst-case scenario assumption: Darkrai, a Pokémon skilled in battle, had been controlled by that unknown evil organization.

This information also explains why this group was able to steal the Heart Drops without anyone noticing.

With Darkrai's power as a cover, and with Latios and Latias also absent, they were indeed able to steal the Heart Drop and abduct the baby Pokémon without alerting the enemy.

"Nightmare, is it... Darkrai?"

Having roughly guessed the truth, Su Hao asked Latios with a hesitant expression.

He thought that if Latios and Latias knew about the Nightmare God, then so be it; if they didn't, then he could at least give them a heads-up.

Even if it were revealed that he knew some information about legendary Pokémon, it wouldn't matter, since these legendary Pokémon don't care about such things.

[Oh? Su Hao, you also know about the Nightmare God?]

Latios looked surprised; he hadn't expected that the human before him would also understand Darkrai, and even know the true nature of Darkrai's power.

"I have some understanding of it."

It seems that Latios knows about Darkrai, so there's no need for Su Hao to remind them to be on guard. Su Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

[If you know about the Nightmare God, then communication will be much easier.]

Now that Su Hao had some understanding of the Nightmare God, it would be easier to communicate what He was about to say.

Latios paused for a moment before speaking slowly.

Darkrai, the Nightmare God, is a Pokémon that wields power just like us. It would be alright if only a portion of its power were picked up and used by evil people.

What Latias and I fear is that He chose to assist the wicked, or perhaps He had no choice in the matter.

The Nightmare God's power lies not only in His physical strength, but also in the nightmares that spread like a plague, which are what make Him so difficult to deal with.

Latios looked worried. Although it was a legendary Pokémon of the same rank as the Nightmare God, it was not good at things like purification or dreams.

He might be able to protect a small number of Pokémon from nightmares, but he and Latias only have two Pokémon in total, and cannot take care of other creatures outside of the Secret Realm and the island.

"Could we seek out Cresselia, the goddess of dreams?"

Su Hao put forward his idea: the God of Dreams, as the opposite of the God of Nightmare, possesses the authority of beautiful dreams and can suppress the nightmares spread by Darkrai.

[Regarding Cresselia, unfortunately, we do not know where He is now.]

Latios did not know where Cresselia was at the moment, otherwise He could have invited Cresselia to join forces against Darkrai.
