Eevee did not feel any life fluctuation on the island, and Rotom, besides the nightmare wave motion, also detected no other Pokemon's wave motion. No matter how one looked at it, this was an island with a particularly desolate environment.
However, Fang Yuan always felt that the island was not that simple. While observing the island covered with rocks, he also tried to have Eevee, Rotom, and Dragonite send out signals in hope of communicating with others.
"Let's go deeper."
At that point, Fang Yuan took out specially made perfume that attracted Dark Type Spirits from his backpack, opened it, and carried it on his person, all to try to attract Darkrai, using every method he could think of.
But whether it was attempting to communicate, or using the perfume to attract Dark Type Spirits, in the end, both were ineffective.
Nightmare Island remained that very Nightmare Island, devoid of life.
"Could it really just be an environment where Darkrai once lived?"
Using half a day's time, Fang Yuan and his group nearly searched the entire Nightmare Island. Other than the nightmare fluctuations scattered everywhere, they found nothing at all.
However, it wouldn't be accurate to say there were no gains at all. After spending some time on the island, Dragonite began to show adverse reactions due to the nightmare fluctuations, even more intense than Fang Yuan and his group, with a feeling of wanting to fall into a sleepy stupor, seemingly struggling to suppress the power within its body.
This condition, which had disappeared after contact with the Prince of the Sea, had now returned to Dragonite, giving it the feeling that, if it slept, it would likely enter into a sleepwalking state.
"Can you endure it?"
Fang Yuan looked at Dragonite, who scratched its head in a rather silly manner, thinking it could probably hold on...
"You can endure, but there's no need to." Fang Yuan's tone changed as he said, "Let's go to the open area up ahead, you'll enter Nightmare Mode."
"Bo wo?!" Dragonite was stunned. Although it didn't understand Fang Yuan's intention, it could only comply with the Trainer's command.
Fang Yuan had Dragonite enter Nightmare Mode on Nightmare Island for two reasons: one was to see what specific effects the island's nightmare fluctuations would have on Dragonite, and the other was to see if leveraging Dragonite's Nightmare Mode could attract Darkrai.
......
One week later.
Fang Yuan and his group still had not made any discoveries, and even the secret medicine given by Mr. Gu was used up.
During that week, Dragonite's task was to enter Nightmare Mode and battle with other Pokemon.
Under the influence of the nightmare fluctuations, Dragonite's Nightmare Mode grew even stronger, with a speed of physical strength recovery that was so fast it reached a point that Fang Yuan found unbelievable.
If Milotic possesses Coordination Talent, then Dragonite has a talent for physical strength. Spirits at the Top Tier Level Three probably only have such a rate of physical strength recovery, right?
This once again made Fang Yuan understand the power of the Power of Dreams.
It's definitely a power not inferior to Mental Power.
The Power of Dreams, also known as Dream Energy or Dreamland Energy, Fang Yuan's earliest understanding of this energy came from the results of Professor Cedar's research in the anime, namely the Elf Fossil Revival Technology.
Just how powerful is Dream Energy? Professor Cedar once mentioned that reviving a Pokemon fossil requires the use of Dream Energy to turn the fantasy of ancient genes' memory within the fossil from illusion to reality.

It could be said that the Power of Dreams was capable of reversing illusory reality, reviving fossilized life, the reason Dragonite's Nightmare Mode was so potent was that it had begun to tap into the potential of the Power of Dreams, using it to bolster its own strength—presumably second only to the effects Eevee saw from enhancing itself with Life Energy.
In the expansive area of Nightmare Island, Fang Yuan and Rotom were together researching the Nightmare fluctuations and the Power of Dreams.
Dragonite constantly attempted to enter and take control of Nightmare Mode, while Eevee and the others were responsible for beating Dragonite up one after another, waking it at critical moments.
"It looks like Darkrai really isn't on the island."
Fang Yuan sighed, having searched the island no less than five times without any sign of life, but in order not to make the trip in vain, they still decided to stay for the time being.
Fang Yuan asked Dragonite to try and see if it could gain something from the Nightmare fluctuations on the island, while he himself directed Rotom to research the relationship between the Power of Dreams and the Elf gene at this special location.
Before he could thoroughly study Psychic Power, Fang Yuan wanted to delve into the Power of Dreams for two reasons: one was Dragonite's condition, and the other was the intriguing prospect of Fossil Revival Techniques—if he could master this, it would be no less significant than having developed the Super Evolution System or the Z-Move System.
Boom!!!
On another front, Dragonite was once again overpowered by a joint effort from Eevee, the Armed Magnetic Monster, and Monferno, then healed by Milotic to start over; a week of intense battle had left their battlefield riddled with scars.
Luo Kuo stood on the edge of a cliff, observing the battling Dragonite and others, as well as Fang Yuan busily engaged in research—seeming somewhat out of place. Suddenly, Ninetales Rock turned its gaze toward the center of the island.
"Strange…"
It had just sensed a familiar wave, but it was almost fleeting.
"It must be an illusion."
However, just as Luo Kuo turned away, a Pokemon emerged from the shadows within a cave.
This black Pokemon, shadowy in bearing, had part of its face covered by a mass of fog-like, constantly roiling white substance resembling hair. Its body flashed with peculiar fluctuations from time to time, revealing only a pair of bright, dark blue eyes.
In addition, around its neck was a red, sawtooth-like object that encircled it like a collar, which appeared as if it were a scarf dyed with blood. On each shoulder, it wore a long strip of black, cloth-like material, resembling slashes of black lightning.
Its black claw-like hands, each with three claws, were shrouded in trails of dark mist, looking quite sinister. The Pokemon floated in the air, its entire body resembling an hourglass, bizarre in the extreme.
If Fang Yuan saw this Pokemon, he would certainly be astounded.
Darkrai had appeared!
But, whether it was Eevee, Luo Kuo, Fang Yuan, or Rotom, none were able to detect the presence of Darkrai. This suggested that Darkrai's proficiency in Illusion Techniques, its mastery over Shadow Energy, and even its life stage far surpassed that of Fang Yuan and his team.
After Darkrai appeared, it looked over the vast distance at Fang Yuan and his companions, and then at Dragonite wrapped in Dark Type Energy. After a moment of silence and indifferent gaze, it spread its arms.
Hum!!!
In the next instant, a ferociously cold aura swept out, silent Nightmare fluctuations also brushed by, and Fang Yuan, in the open area, was the first to feel his eyes grow heavy and fall. Beside him, Rotom, after a sudden jolt, slowly collapsed as well.
Dragonite, Milotic, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno… even the Glutton within Fang Yuan's shadow did not escape and, under the assault of this Nightmare fluctuation, slowly closed their eyes, succumbing to slumber.
The moment the Nightmare fluctuation struck, Luo Kuo and Eevee reacted, but before they could resist, they too were overpowered by sleepiness.
