Special Attack breaking 200, Speed reaching 185. It was terrifyingly powerful.
Having successfully upgraded Darkrai to 4-Stars, Kenji woke it from its slumber.
Darkrai opened its eye and immediately felt the astonishing changes within itself.
The boost in strength wasn't just noticeable; it was overwhelming.
"You..." Darkrai was stunned. It felt that this human was even more mysterious than itself, a Mythical Pokémon.
Kenji looked at Darkrai's stats with satisfaction. Once its level reached 100, it would truly become the God of Nightmares—a nightmare for the entire world.
After recalling Darkrai into its ball, Kenji made plans to leave Moon Lake Town.
His goal was achieved. He had successfully captured Darkrai.
And the process had been much easier than he had imagined.
Time was tight. The Huaxia League Conference would begin soon.
So, that very afternoon, Kenji headed to the nearest city with an airport and booked a flight back to Metropolis.
Throughout the journey, Darkrai stayed inside its Poké Ball.
Technically, it could have hidden in Kenji's shadow.
But the problem was Darkrai's passive ability: causing nightmares to those around it.
And the range of this effect was huge. Initially, it affected the entire population of Moon Lake Town.
Now that Darkrai was 4-Stars and its level had jumped from 70 to 76, the range and potency of the nightmare aura had likely increased.
This was an uncontrollable ability for Darkrai.
Fortunately, Kenji's tests confirmed that keeping Darkrai in its Poké Ball effectively contained the passive effect.
After all, in the anime, there was a mysterious trainer (Tobias) who owned a Darkrai.
If keeping it in a ball didn't suppress the nightmares, that trainer would have gone insane long ago.
Perhaps when Darkrai's level increased further, it might learn to control this ability.
But for now, it was best to keep it hidden.
Luckily, perhaps due to this cursed ability, Darkrai had spent most of its life alone and was used to solitude. It adapted quickly to life inside the Ultra Ball.
After all, an Ultra Ball was like a luxury villa for Pokémon; it wasn't a bad place to be.
Back in Metropolis, Kenji resumed his special training regimen.
Only this time, Darkrai joined in.
As of now, no one knew Kenji possessed a Darkrai, not even Director He.
A Level 76 Nightmare God was qualified to be Kenji's second trump card, right behind Beedrill.
He wondered if Darkrai would get a chance to debut in the Huaxia League Conference.
He hoped his opponents wouldn't disappoint him too much.
Days passed. Namgung Xi eventually finished her travels and returned to Metropolis, declaring she would accompany Kenji to the tournament.
This time, however, the number of Pokémon in her possession had skyrocketed.
Besides her original Altaria, Dragonite, and the randomly caught Lilligant and Teddiursa, she now had seven more Pokémon.
Specifically: Kingdra, Haxorus, Tyrantrum, Turtonator, Crawdaunt, Milotic, and Lapras.
Perhaps due to living on Dragon Island surrounded by the sea, her Pokémon were mostly Dragon and Water types.
Among them, Kingdra and Haxorus had reached Elite level.
The rest were Gym Leader level.
