Pokémon: Encounter

Strong.

It's really too strong.

It is simply stronger than you can imagine.

Looking at his companions lying on the ground, Nanfang's pupils dilated, and despair set in. After countless battles, Nanfang had never lost so thoroughly as this time.

Nan Fang and Pidgeot tried their best, but in the end, even with a six-to-one ratio, they were still unable to withstand a single blow from Darkrai.

The last time the South was in such a helpless situation was when it first faced Mewtwo.

The result shouldn't be like this.

Without any arrogance, they have grown to this point and even if they face Mewtwo again, Nan Fang actually has absolute confidence that they can fight Mewtwo 60-40.

But facing Darkrai in front of him, the South had no power to fight back.

Emitting endless dark energy, Darkrai looked down at the South, who had lost his fighting spirit and fell to his knees helplessly, with the demeanor of an absolute king.

[You shouldn't be here.]

【But since you have already appeared. 】

【Then come back with me. 】

A strong male voice sounded beside Nanfang's ears. Nanfang raised his head, his eyes, which had lost focus, stared blankly at Darkrai who was approaching him. As if he could no longer sense any danger, Nanfang was like a lonely puppet without strings, waiting foolishly for someone to pick him up.

[How could this queen give in so easily? ! ! ]

A stubborn female voice appeared. It was the monarch snake who was struggling to stand up and resolutely blocking the south.

[What an unreliable and incompetent trainer! ]

【In that case! 】

【Then I will defeat it! 】

Sister Snake's eyes were filled with murderous intent. She used up her last bit of strength, and a storm of flying leaves that was less powerful than usual swept out.

【Fight to the last.】

Darkrai snorted coldly. He put his hands together, and a dark shadow energy ball suddenly appeared. The shadow ball defeated the storm and hit Snake's body heavily.

But it did not explode. The huge force pushed Sister Snake's body several meters away and headed straight to the south.

[Sister Snake, let me help you! ]

The weak and boneless Jackrabbit stood up angrily and placed herself directly behind the Monarch Snake, attempting to block the advance of the Shadow Ball with her tiny strength.

Shadow Ball's speed has slowed down a bit.

But only a little.

【I just don’t believe it! 】

[We can't even withstand one of your attacks!? ]

With a roar, Gyarados joined the queue to block the attack, even though his bright red body was already covered in blood.

The speed of the shadow ball slowed down again.

"Swish!" There was a flash of light.

Without any words, Blue Blade stood firmly behind Gyarados.

The speed drops again.

【We haven’t lost yet!!!】

Absol followed closely behind, pressing his body against the back of the Azure Blade Demon.

【south!】

【Don’t forget! 】

【We are always by your side! 】

The giant bird gripped the ground firmly with its powerful claws, and used its broad wings to hug its brothers and sisters who were still retreating!

at this moment.

With the joint efforts of the companions, they used their own bodies to resist the Shadow Ball.

This shadow ball can't move an inch.

At this moment, Nanfang's face was only a hair's breadth away from the big bird's head feathers. He could even feel the body temperature and heat emitted by his companions.

"boom--!!!"

Unfortunately.

The shadow ball exploded at this moment.

Everyone, who were already at the end of their strength, scattered instantly.

They failed.

They didn't withstand a single attack from Darkrai.

But they succeeded again.

They successfully protected their trainer from being directly harmed by the enemy.

The black smoke was so choking that people in the south couldn't even open their eyes.

【Stubborn and unyielding.】

【Then I'll send you guys off first. 】

【Return to dust.】

Darkrai slowly descended, a pair of slender black legs stretched out from under its skirt, and gently landed on the ground. Its eyes flickered, and its hands were raised high. A series of dark, cold spikes instantly appeared on the ground.

【Abyss Thrust.】

The spikes began to advance.

It was like a black turbid current carrying sharp blades and spreading out continuously.

The six companions who were hit first were so weak that they could not move at all. They could only watch helplessly as the sharp blade pierced their chests.

That's right, with my own eyes.

Faced with the imminent end of their lives, none of the monarch snakes closed their eyes.

They were not afraid.

They just feel a little regretful, a little sad, and a little helpless.

In the days ahead, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to stay by my trainer's side anymore.

It seems that we no longer have the opportunity to take care of the South.

"Stop...stay away from them..."

A murmur sounded.

The sound was so faint that even the big bird couldn't hear it clearly.

However, as the absolute king of today's scene.

Darkrai heard these words clearly. He moved his hands slightly, his eyes slightly surprised, but he did not stop his movements.

"Didn't... hear clearly?"

"I told you...stay away from them!!!"

Aura bursts!

Nan Fang raised his head sharply.

His eyes were red, and his furious voice carried a tangible wave that pierced everyone's eardrums.

Darkrai stopped his actions in surprise, and the constantly wriggling spikes disappeared.

I don't know why, it suddenly felt like that.

If I don't obey this man's orders now.

Then in the next second, your life will be threatened.

Darkrai only took a second to react to the thought in his mind. He even found it a little funny.

In this current field.

He himself is the omniscient and omnipotent God.

How could I come up with such a ridiculous idea?

Thinking of this, Darkrai raised his hands again.

It will continue to judge.

These hateful guys brought "disaster" to themselves and their partners.

"boom--!!!"

A gray flash suddenly broke through the darkness.

In just a moment, Darkrai's body flew backwards helplessly like a kite with a broken string.

【How can it be! ? 】

[How is this possible!!!]

This was the last thought in Darkrai's mind before he lost his ability to move.

Nan Fang exudes a mysterious grey energy all over his body.

He stretched out one hand, maintaining the jab posture. His body suddenly appeared at the position where Darkrai was just now. His scarlet eyes stared at the Nightmare God who had fallen to the ground and could not move.

"I said...get away from me!"

"Crack——!"

"Crack——!"

Several sounds like breaking glass suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

In just a few seconds, countless cracks appeared in the entire space like a broken crystal. In just two breaths, the scene in front of everyone suddenly turned into countless fragments.

The darkness before my eyes disappeared.

Instead.

It is the first light of dawn.

Disbelief appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Sensitive Sister Snake was the first to discover that, apart from the pain all over her body, all the scars on her body had disappeared at this moment. Everything before was just...

A dream?

【Why do you...】

[There is such power!? ]

Darkrai regained his ability to move. He raised his body with difficulty, his eyes filled with resentment and confusion.

Nanfang didn't seem to hear Darkrai's words.

He still maintained that posture.

But his wide-open eyes proved that he had not lost consciousness yet.

suddenly.

A pale yellow energy emanated from Nan Fang's chest and gradually spread over Nan Fang's body.

【south!】

【This is the power of wishes! 】

【you made it! 】

【You saved everyone! 】

A familiar figure, a warm voice, and kind words.

A yellow and white transparent little creature appeared in front of Nanfang.

【Calm down! 】

【Don't let 'it' dominate everything you do! 】

【do not be afraid!】

【We are all here with you! 】

Jirachi's sudden appearance broke the heaviness of the moment, and a warm current swept through Nan Fang's whole body.

His eyes gradually regained their calm.

"I..."

"Jirachi!?"

"you..."

【Very good! 】

【I know you will succeed! 】

The cute elf happily circled around Nanfang, and a smile gradually appeared on Nanfang's face.

"Well, thank you, Jirachi!"

【Um! 】

【You're welcome! 】

[Because we are good friends forever! ]

Jirachi's smile heals everything.

Then, the elf seemed to realize something.

Jirachi turned and flew in front of Darkrai.

We know why you do this.

【However, please try to trust us, trust the South! 】

【We will definitely rescue your companions! 】

Please give us some more time, okay?

Jirachi smiled and whispered to Darkrai.

The Nightmare God’s eyes were solemn.

It looked deeply at the little transparent creature in front of it.

Darkrai once again turned his gaze to the south behind Jirachi.

Thinking about it for a while.

Not a single word.

Darkrai's body gradually faded away and sank into the ground.

Looking at the disappearing Nightmare God, Nan Fang was silent for a moment. Then he immediately looked at the little guy floating in front of him. He still had many questions he wanted to ask his good friend.

【Everyone says it’s not the right time yet! 】

【South! My good friend! 】

【We will always be by your side! 】

【Just like these friends of yours! 】

Nan Fang was slightly stunned, then turned around to look at the group of people who were determined to protect their companions even at the risk of their own lives.

When he turned around again.

Jirachi had disappeared.

"Well, of course I believe you."

He felt the warmth radiating from his palm and smiled slightly.

【south!】

【Why are you here? 】

【In the end what happened? 】

Yukshi's figure suddenly appeared, nervous and afraid.

"Nothing, just came out to see an old friend."

[Old friend?]

Yuke looked at the empty woods and fell into confusion.

"Let's go."

"We have important things to do."
