Dragonite had just harnessed this power when the air around it, as if with its own consciousness, finally formed the phantom image of half a Lugia behind Dragonite, watching over everything.
Only the head, upper body, and wings.
This scenario made Fang Yuan, Eevee, and Manafei, the Prince of the Sea, all widen their eyes with curiosity.
If Manafei remembered correctly, this feather only contained part of Lugia's mental power, and Lugia had not endowed it with any consciousness, so how could it take form?
"This..." Such a situation had been witnessed by Fang Yuan and the others before. When they first encountered the Fire of Life from Moltres, it transformed into the shape of Moltres!!
Now, although the airflow around them wasn't as clearly transformed, it was obvious that the situation should be similar...
Soon, Fang Yuan and the others understood what was happening. Dark airflows began to appear around Dragonite, and it seemed that the phantom Lugia emerged to suppress the dark airflows. With a gentle flap of its wings, the dark airflows quickly disappeared...
"Are all Legendary resources this magical?" Fang Yuan murmured.
He quickly turned his eyes towards Dragonite and the Silver Feather.
To use the dark airflows, Dragonite had to enter Nightmare Mode; that was the base... No, what Lugia wanted to suppress wasn't the Nightmare Power.
"Could it be... trying to suppress the Dark Power that even Legendary Pokémon could be infected with?"
Fang Yuan suddenly thought of something and said to Manafei, "I want to conduct an experiment next."
"Bwoo~~~" Manafei tilted its head in confusion but casually chirped; it still curiously watched the Lugia-shaped airflow.
"Dragonite, you can hear me, right? After entering Nightmare Mode, try using the Contrary Scale Technique," Fang Yuan took a deep breath and instructed.
Nightmare Mode, Contrary Scale?
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's voice, Dragonite was startled.
But without much hesitation, it began to harness both Nightmare Power and Contra-scale Power simultaneously, responding to Fang Yuan's command.
Boom!!
As Dragonite entered Dark Mode, the phantom Lugia formed from blue airflows behind it gradually materialized, only now, this phantom Lugia seemed to be eroded by an evil dark force, as a small part of its wings gradually turned black.
This scene caused both Fang Yuan and the Prince of the Sea to wear slightly grave expressions.
Fortunately, the dark airflows were thoroughly suppressed by the turned head of the phantom Lugia shortly after, but this was just the beginning. The dark airflows continuously tried to take over Lugia's body, and a fierce struggle ensued between them.
Meanwhile, as Dragonite entered Outrage State and Nightmare Mode, it suddenly opened its eyes.
Around it, the dark airflows that tried to spread but were suppressed by the Silver Feather, and its savage crimson pupils, all indicated that Dragonite was in that uncontrollable dark state.
"It seems... a bit different?"
Fang Yuan's hand was placed on the Poké Ball, ready to call Darkrai to clean up, but this time, unlike the first time, Dragonite did not go berserk immediately.
Although its pupils were crimson, it seemed to be quite lucid, possessing its own thoughts and will.
Yet, judging through Wave Guide, Superpower, and Power of the Heart, Fang Yuan felt there was something different about Dragonite compared to before.
Strange.
In Fang Yuan's vision, Darkness Tyrannosaurus held the Silver Feather in one hand and clenched its fist with the other, a black whirlwind forming on it, seemingly quite menacing.
After testing its strength, Dragonite shook its arm to disperse the whirlwind and then looked towards Fang Yuan, Eevee, and the Sea King.
Their gaze made Fang Yuan and the others feel unfamiliar.
"Bwoo? (Who's your favorite Pokémon?)" Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder frowned.
"Woo!! (None!)" Dragonite shook its head.
"Bwoo!!" Eevee patted Fang Yuan; something was off.
"Even though it's off, it shouldn't be too much of a problem."
Although Fang Yuan felt that Dragonite's current state was abnormal, at least... it was lucid and calm, which was enough.
"Woo!!"
Dragonite at the moment indeed had some issues and was aware of them. It could feel the immense power of the Dark Form and knew that even Milotic from just now might not be able to defeat it with the endless power within its body and the explosive Contra-scale Power.
However, right then, Dragonite didn't feel the slightest bit of joy because it could sense that its ability to stay rational was due to the Silver Feather Helping Hand to suppress the dark power. What puzzled Dragonite even more was that it now seemed to possess only the desire to fight, devoid of any other Emotion.
This was a big problem...
As Dragonite pondered, an unexpected change occurred.
"Ma... Manafei...!!"
Suddenly, something happened that frightened Manafei.
Most of the airflow behind Dragonite turned black, and the Lugia-shaped form made of airflows also turned into Dark Luojia, with its pupils even more blood-red than before, making Manafei a bit scared.
Only the Silver Feather in Dragonite's hand continued to radiate silver and blue light. However, even the Silver Feather's tip seemed to be gradually showing some black marks...
As if it were being contaminated.
"Come back to your senses." Looking at the black Lugia airflow figure, Fang Yuan took a deep breath and spoke.
He was now certain that the Silver Feather could help Darkness Tyrannosaurus stay lucid, but at the same time, it would also be corroded by the Dark Power.
