Pokémon: Who told him to come out of Pallet Town!

Chapter 641 Dacto's Purpose

Chapter 641 Dacto's Purpose

Dakdo chanted the ancient incantation with complete concentration. The seven-colored feather in his hand shone brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a soft pillar of light that shot into the sky, merging with the cool glow from the cave ceiling.

A warm, peaceful, and seemingly soul-cleansing surge of energy rippled outwards from the rock in the center of the lake.

The light gradually faded, and an elegant figure slowly materialized before Dakdo.

It has a streamlined, crescent-shaped, pure white body, with wings edged with dazzling iridescent colors, and red arc-shaped structures extending from both sides of its head, with a brilliant red gemstone set in the center.

She exudes a calming aura, and her eyes are gentle and profound, as if they contain the most beautiful dreams in the world.

It is none other than the goddess of dreams—Creselia!

[Ding! New Divine Beast detected.]

[Data collection has begun. Please provide more match data.]

The system's little red dot appeared as expected.

Cressia's appearance instantly dispelled the last trace of darkness and unease remaining in the cave, filling it with a sacred and healing aura.

She opened her jewel-like eyes, her gaze first falling on Darko, who had summoned her, and her gentle voice resonated directly in everyone's hearts: "Whoever awakens me, I will grant you one wish that is within my power."

Dakdo took a deep breath and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the movement behind him.

He turned around warily and saw that Natsume and Takeran had arrived at some point and were standing by the lake.

A fleeting, almost imperceptible look of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and regained his composure, only slightly shifting his body as if trying to block Cresselia's view.

Seeing this, Zhu Lan misunderstood his reaction. She stepped forward, her tone urgent and slightly admiring: "Dakdo?! You really foresaw the city's crisis and came looking for Cresselia in advance! That's wonderful!"

However, Dacto did not immediately make a request concerning the city's survival as she had hoped.

A hint of guilt and panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly avoided Zhu Lan's intense gaze and instead turned back to Cresselia.

Under the incredulous gazes of Takeru and Natsume, she pulled a high-grade ball from her robes and declared firmly, "Great Cresselia, I request a battle with you! I hope to prove my strength and earn your approval through this fight!"

Natsume: "???"

Bamboo Orchid: "???"

Upon hearing this, the cave seemed to fall silent instantly.

Zhu Lan's eyes widened, almost thinking she had misheard: "A battle?! Dakdo! Are you crazy?!"

"What time is it?! The entire city is in a nightmare, the city is shut down, and danger lurks everywhere, and all you're thinking about is subduing Cresselia?!"

Her voice rose with shock and anger, filled with bewilderment.

Natsume also frowned, his eyes filled with speechlessness as he looked at Darko.

Is this guy possessed by Ash Ketchum?

No, even though Ash is hot-blooded, he would never act without considering priorities in such a critical moment.

Moreover, this is a priestess named Cresselia; she would never go with a human.

A barely perceptible hint of surprise flickered in Crescentia's jewel-like eyes, but she maintained her sacred peace, quietly watching Darko and awaiting his confirmation.

Ignoring Cynthia's rebuke and Natsume's speechless gaze, Darkrod gripped the Poké Ball tightly, his eyes fixed intently on Cresselia, and repeated, "This is my wish, please battle me!"

"Dakto! You..." Zhu Lan was so angry that she wanted to say something more.

Natsume reached out and stopped her, a look of anticipation on his face.

He stopped looking at Dakdo and instead raised his wrist, revealing the screen of a miniature communicator that displayed a blurry but recognizable surveillance video.

It was the same file he had downloaded from the abandoned laboratory.

"Miss Zhulan".

Natsume spoke calmly.

"Take a look at this."

"These are the surveillance records I found in that lab. The timestamps show that Mr. Darkor had already sneaked into this cave alone once before the nightmares erupted on a large scale, even before we arrived in Kaleidoscope City."

Natsume's meaning was quite clear: this kid wasn't there to solve the problem.

Otherwise, we would have found a way to stop it back then.

His purpose might even be to keep that device to lure the priests Darkrai and Cresselia to their side.

"What?"

Zhu Lan stared blankly at the surveillance footage, then a surge of even greater anger welled up inside her.

Even if he doesn't do anything himself, he could at least tell Officer Jenny!

She wanted to say something more, but Natsume stopped her with his hand.

"When we're on someone else's turf, we still have to abide by their rules."

Natsume's meaning is very clear.

He understood Zhu Lan's feelings; after all, she was the champion of the United Nations.

But granting wishes is, after all, Cresselia's own rule.

They have no right to interfere.

"But..

'

Zhu Lan was unwilling, but she had no choice but to give up.

"Go, Darkrai!"

Over there, in the center of the lake, Darko lost his ball, and a dark, ghostly Pokémon appeared on the opposite bank.

"Um?"

The Dream God tilted his head, seemingly somewhat surprised.

Battle is imminent.

"That's strange, I thought he would send Crescentia too."

Cynthia and Natsume sat quietly to the side, thinking about how to bring it up with Cresselia later. They were both a little surprised to see the Pokémon sent by Darkor.

"That's true." Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly.

Seeking recognition.

If it were him, he would send out Cresselia to see if his carefully trained Pokémon could defeat the strongest of its kind.

Unfortunately, legendary Pokémon are overwhelmingly superior to ordinary mythical Pokémon.

Within a few rounds, Dakdo was defeated.

"Well done, come back, Darkrai."

After recalling Darkrai, Darkrai did not send out any more Pokémon. Instead, he looked up at the Dreamweaver with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

"Dream Goddess, is my Darkrai worthy?"

"Waaah~"

The goddess of dreams closed her eyes, and moonlight shone upon her.

After a long silence, she quietly shook her head.

Dakdo's expression froze for a moment.

After a long while, he clenched his fists, and a look of resentment flashed across his face.

"Waaah..."

"

The moonlight around Cresselia grew brighter, and her entire crescent-shaped body began to gradually become transparent and ethereal, as if she was about to leave.

"etc!"

This time, before Natsume and Ran could speak, Darko panicked first.

He didn't want to just watch the Dream God leave, because he had finally found it after countless efforts!

He absolutely must get it!

Suddenly, as if he had found a lifeline, he pointed sharply at Natsume and Takeran not far away.

"They...they need to talk to you about something very important!"

Natsume:

'

""

This kid only notices you when someone is useful to him.

Cresselia's body continued to fade into nothingness, and Darko's words had no effect.

No, it does have some effect.

The Dream God glanced in Natsume's direction.

As if she had noticed something, her gaze suddenly trembled.

The ethereal body gradually solidified, while the moonlight shining on it gradually blurred.

The God of Dreams stayed behind.
