Luo Kuo pondered for a long time and it admitted that the invention of the Poké Ball was indeed very magical.
The space inside was easy, comfortable, and a good place for most Pokémon to rest.
But having lived outside for a hundred years, it did find getting used to entering a human's Poké Ball a bit uncomfortable.
"To help Dragonite heal from its illness."
"To experience the comfortable space inside the Poké Ball."
Under Fang Yuan's persuasion, Luo Kuo gradually wavered...
Inside Fang Yuan's Team, aside from Eevee, every Pokémon did not resist entering the Poké Ball, not even Glutton, indicating that the Poké Ball's mechanism had a very good effect on Pokémon rest.
And Eevee's refusal to enter was simply because one couldn't play video games inside a Poké Ball...
If it were just for a comfortable living environment, Luo Kuo would never choose the Poké Ball, but helping Dragonite was clearly the priority, and Luo Kuo was also aware of Dragonite's illness, knowing that Fang Yuan had been worried about it for a long time.
Well, okay...
Finally, just before Fang Yuan was about to depart for Tokyo, after much deliberation, Luo Kuo nodded its head.
"If it's to treat Dragonite's illness..."
"But there need to be some ground rules..."
Luo Kuo said slowly, its duty being to act as a bodyguard during this period.
And like aiding other Trainers in battles like the rest of the Pokémon, it absolutely would not accept this.
"Sure, sure," Fang Yuan said upon hearing this, revealing a look of joy, and agreeing to everything readily.
......
Before leaving, Fang Yuan received a call from Principal Mo, "Have you made up your mind?"
"I have," Fang Yuan said.
Although it was determined by the various nations' exploration teams that there were no Pokémon living on Nightmare Island, Fang Yuan still wanted to check it out personally.
After all, according to information, Darkrai did indeed inhabit the place a long time ago.
Even if it had left, it should have left some clues.
The evidence was that although there were no Pokémon inhabiting there, the place was still full of the unknown and mysterious, more so than a gathering place for Ghost-type Pokémon, not even Master Trainers wished to venture there. Without the power of a special secret location, such an environment was absolutely impossible to create.
Likewise, there was also the possibility that Darkrai was indeed still there but just didn't want to be contacted by anyone!
"You know, my Dragonite has somnambulistic battle syndrome, although it's already been somewhat alleviated, it's not completely cured..."
"If it can't be completely cured, the instability is still too great. Even though it's been suppressed for now, as Dragonite's strength grows, this power will surely grow again, so it's better to resolve it sooner rather than later."
This was also the suggestion of the Prince of the Sea, so Fang Yuan wanted to contact the Dream God to let Dragonite fully master this power.
"Alright... We'll discuss the specifics later," Principal Mo indicated he would assist Fang Yuan.
Although the danger in the Chaotic Sea Area wasn't on par with the Bermuda Triangle, Fang Yuan with his Master Level Dragonite should be able to easily cross the sea... but there would still be some risks.
However, Fang Yuan wasn't really afraid.
"Luo Kuo, Armed Magnetic Monster, Super Gengar, Infernape, the four top-level combat powers, along with the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster that can shield magnetic fields, Dragonite and Milotic that can dissolve storms, there's no need to worry too much about those dangerous environments."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yuan started analyzing to himself.
As he was analyzing, Eevee, nearly telepathically synced with Fang Yuan, opened its eyes and jumped out of meditation.
"Bwoo???"
Eevee!!
Even as Fang Yuan's Beginner Pokemon, it has fallen to the same level as a Garlic Turtle, unworthy of mention.
"You..."
Fang Yuan looked at Eevee and thought about it; during this trip, Eevee didn't seem to have much use, inferior in combat power to Luo Kuo, Armed Magnetic Monster, Super Gengar, and Infernape, and in terms of functionality, it couldn't compare to Milotic, Dragonite...
"Useful... Stay by my side, be a mascot, no... protect me," Fang Yuan said earnestly.
"..."
Eevee: o(╥﹏╥)o
Day 33 of missing my cellphone.
Only Eevee understood how many banknotes one would need to catch up with the main group after not touching a game for over a month...
And only Eevee understood the intense pain one would have to endure to catch up to their teammates after becoming too addicted to the cellphone...
Fang Yuan turned his head away, not wanting to disturb Eevee's meditation anymore. It had been a month without an internet connection, and Eevee still hadn't stepped into the Top Tier Domain.
Other than meditating to practice mental power, Eevee had tried other methods too, basically pushing all its abilities to the limit.
Yet, it was still to no avail.
A month... Fang Yuan had almost lost patience...
Because it was heartbreaking, he simply chose to ignore it as much as possible.
"Then it's settled!"
The delegations from various countries hadn't encountered any danger, so how could it happen to him.
If it did, Fang Yuan would be even happier because that would mean that Darkrai was indeed on the island!
"Based on the 'py chain' of Emuritto, Manafei, Moltres, if Darkrai is on the island, perhaps it really could be attracted by me..." This was one method Fang Yuan had conceived to find Darkrai.
The Legendary Pokemon PY chain formula!
Besides this, Fang Yuan had prepared two other unique methods of his own. Generally speaking, Legendary Pokemon and Phantom Pokemon don't like to interact with humans, so to find Darkrai, one must take the initiative.
......
"Boarding time."
The next day.
Fang Yuan boarded a flight to Tokyo, Japan. In reality, Fang Yuan didn't mind riding Dragonite or Milotic for an international flight or Surfing, but considering that such an act was not supported by various countries, he dismissed this crazy idea...
In Asia, Japan's economic strength and the level of Trainer Domain development were second only to Hua Nation. Although Japan's land area is relatively small, possibly because of its special geographic location, the secret locations that appeared in Japan were all of exceptionally rich resources. And with the secret locations appearing at one of the highest frequencies in the world, it shaped Japan into a Trainer Nation.
"It's also PM's place of origin, probably a world BUFF," Fang Yuan thought as he closed his eyes on the plane, waiting to arrive at the destination.
First, he would disembark in Tokyo and register with the Tokyo Trainer Association, and then he would head to the Izu Islands, also known as the Bean South Islands, the Izu Seven Islands.
To go to Nightmare Island, one has to depart from here.
Fang Yuan recalled the information he had researched...
Most of the residents of the Seven Islands lived semi-agricultural and semi-fishing lives, with a developed tourism industry and air transport links to Tokyo. Compared to the metropolis, it was relatively remote, with very few Trainers, but it was well-developed and Fang Yuan also found the place very interesting.
The reason being that it was the real-world location that inspired the "Seven Islands" map in the PM series. In the anime, the Orange Archipelago is located south of the Seven Islands, with New Island, the birthplace of Mewtwo, sandwiched in the middle. There's a real New Island, but of course, it doesn't have a Mewtwo... Otherwise, it would be blissful to have a Nightmare God and go tame Mewtwo.
"Considering I only have Red clothes, not the strength of Red... let's go for Darkrai. Mewtwo seems even harder to deal with..."
