Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Phoenix King.

It is a legendary Pokémon that resembles both a phoenix and a peacock.

Amongst the numerous legendary Pokémon, it is one of the most mysterious.

Some say that if Lugia is the deity that governs the ocean currents, then the Phoenix King governs the atmosphere.

However, what impressed Fang Yuan the most about the Phoenix King was its ability to resurrect life.

And this was no simple resurrection.

It was akin to a resurrection through nirvana.

In the games, the Phoenix King once used Holy Ash to resurrect three unnamed Pokémon, who later became the legendary Emperor Yan of Life, Lei Gong, and Shui Jun.

Among them, Emperor Yan even mastered the Phoenix King's exclusive fire move, Holy Fire.

It can be said that the Phoenix King not only has the ability to resurrect life but also to transform them into legendary beings.

Looking at all Pokémon, there aren't many that can do this.

Arceus can create legendary Pokémon, that's one, the King of Holy Pillar can mold legendary Pokémon, that's another, and then the next that comes to mind is the Phoenix King.

The name of the Phoenix King Guard is even more renowned than those Eternal Spirits created by the King of Holy Pillar.

In terms of prestige, the Phoenix King, which appeared as a photographer, made the Lugia with a clan in the anime look like they were leagues apart.

Such a Pokémon, appearing nearby?

Fang Yuan simply couldn't believe it.

............

"Bimi..."

Meanwhile.

The Fossil Elf Sanctuary.

Darkrai and Victini were caught in a tough battle.

Seeing the enormous Phoenix King perched on a giant tree, staring at them, Darkrai wore a cautious expression.

Its Nightmare Realm seemed to have no effect on it at all.

And when faced with its attack moves, the opponent merely had to flap its wings to summon a fierce wind that negated the moves.

Such strength...

Even with the power enhanced by Victini's Helping Hand, Darkrai was still no match for this giant bird.

Darkrai was feeling this sense of powerlessness in the face of another Pokémon for the first time.

If it were this giant bird, it probably only needed a single thought to destroy this place.

What Darkrai found most incomprehensible was that...

It seemed that from the very beginning, the other party was merely toying with them, with no real intention to make a move.

Otherwise, they would have been completely defeated long ago.

"Bimi..."

After realizing it couldn't defeat its opponent, Victini hesitantly turned and looked at Darkrai.

The opponent is too strong, maybe we should run away!

Run away...

As the deity of victory, Victini no longer cared about failure or defeat.

Because after surreptitiously playing games with Eevee for a few days, Victini's mentality had been honed.

So it's a loss, so what?

Big Sister Eevee was right, failure is the mother of success.

It had lost so many times and so badly that in the games, its abilities had no effect on achieving victory.

Thus, after tasting defeat multiple times, Victini had grown significantly and began to see its abilities more accurately.

To always achieve victory, one must become even more powerful, to influence inanimate objects, to influence the internet with one's abilities!

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Darkrai's Mind Induction transmitted, solemnly questioning the Phoenix King.

As for Victini's words, it didn't receive a response.

Run? It's not that simple.

This sudden appearance of a big fellow had a very clear purpose, constantly watching Victini, probably with no good intentions... Moreover, there were other Fossil Spirits nearby; there was no escaping.

The "Phoenix King" did indeed harbor ill-intentions.

It looked around with a sly gaze, and then, it flapped its wings again.

The next second, a wind that glimmered with light blew through, startling Victini into quickly covering its eyes and turning away, while Darkrai was also forced to shield its eyes from the blinding light.

It was as if in the blink of an eye, it made Darkrai's shadowy abilities have nowhere to hide.

And the "Phoenix King," taking advantage of this opportunity, transformed into Darkrai's likeness and quickly positioned itself next to Darkrai.

So, when Victini opened its eyes, there were already two identical Darkrais by its side.

They were so alike that even Victini had difficulty telling them apart.

Victini: Ծ‸Ծ??

Darkrai: "You..."

At that moment, one of the Darkrais, upon seeing another self appear, narrowed its pupils, stepped back swiftly, and even more cautiously observed the other.

"You..."

The other Darkrai mirrored the same actions, warily eyeing its counterpart.

At this moment, not only Victini but also the nearby Fossil Spirits that carefully opened their eyes couldn't tell them apart.

This... was truly bizarre.

When Fang Yuan arrived, the two identical Darkrais were "competing" for Victini's attention.

They both wished for Victini to acknowledge that they were the original and to obediently follow them.

Victini: ..(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)...

This...

Maybe you guys should just keep fighting; it can't really tell emmm.

Even their abilities and levels were completely identical, which caused Victini's brain to crash.

What made Victini most troubled was that both Darkrais could mention things that only they knew about each other.

How was Victini supposed to distinguish between them!!

Victini simply gave up on trying to treat the situation.

"Bimi (I surrender!!)!!!"

Fang Yuan, arriving quickly on his Dragonite, finally became Victini's reliance.

It hurriedly ran behind Fang Yuan, looking wronged and pitiful.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan and Eevee were also dizzied by the two Darkrais.

"Wasn't it the Phoenix King?"

"How did it turn into two Nightmare Gods."

"I... I don't know either, Rotom," Mobile Rotom was stunned, it had just seen Darkrai and Victini fighting against the Phoenix King.

Right, so how did it turn into two Darkrais now?

Where's the Phoenix King??

"Fang Yuan, I am the real one." X2.

Both Darkrais sent out Mind Induction at the same time.

And.

They almost simultaneously mentioned an experience that only Fang Yuan and Darkrai would know about.

It was the experience on Nightmare Island.

They spoke in unison, not missing a second.

In an instant, Fang Yuan was confounded.

He almost wondered if Darkrai was playing a joke on him using Shadow Clones or the Substitute Technique.

As for the Phoenix King, it was an illusion created by Darkrai itself; with Darkrai's strength, deceiving Mobile Rotom was fairly simple.

However, Fang Yuan quickly dismissed the thought because it wasn't in Darkrai's nature to do so.

Luo Kuo, being a fox, might play such a trick, but Darkrai... certainly not.

"Bwoo..." Even Eevee was now confused.

Eevee: @.@

The life fluctuations, spiritual aura, waveguides, and forms of the two Darkrais were identical, without a single difference.

It was simply inconceivable. Even Ditto's transformations couldn't achieve such perfection.

"Dream, stop messing around," Fang Yuan said after contemplating, Eevee could think of Transformation Techniques, and naturally, he could too.

First the Phoenix King, then two Darkrais; aside from Dream, who possessed perfect transformation abilities, no other Pokémon could do this.

Had Dream come out from the World Tree Mystical Realm?

As far as Fang Yuan knew, the Mount Everest Secret Realm hadn't been opened yet! If it really was Dream, then it must have sneaked out on its own.

At this point, Fang Yuan was eighty percent certain that one of the Darkrais was actually Dream in disguise.

"Dream, I know it's you, stop playing..." Fang Yuan said, slightly exasperated.

It wasn't that he didn't want to recognize which Pokémon was Dream, but that he also couldn't tell the difference.

Dreamy rascal, with the command of Future Sight, could even replicate what Darkrai would say in the future, making it too difficult to distinguish.

If Dream had transformed into Eevee, perhaps Fang Yuan could have made some guesses, but with Darkrai... Fang Yuan didn't spend that much time with Darkrai day and night.

Plus, with Dream's 100% perfect transformation, trying to find differences was like asking Fang Yuan to headbutt himself to death.

"Miu (Alright...)~~~~"

Finally, persuaded by Fang Yuan, Dream nodded its head, and in an instant, one of the Darkrais flashed with a white light, transforming back into a small pink cat Pokémon.

In the sky, Dream covered its mouth, teasingly looking at Darkrai and Victini, and began to frolic happily.

Darkrai: ??

Victini: (｡˘•ε•˘｡)

Is... is it this little guy??

As Dream transformed back, Fang Yuan finally relaxed. He had been quite nervous before he arrived, but now it seemed that it was just Dream being playful, and nothing serious had actually happened.

"Bwoo!~!" At this point, Eevee waved its paw pads in greeting, seeing that the powerhouse Dreamy had come to visit, with at least the strength of a 20-man dungeon.

"Mew~~~" Dream flew towards Eevee and touched paws with it.

The sisters met, unexpectedly cordial.

"Dream, has the World Tree recovered?" Fang Yuan asked.

Dream had come out... That must mean the World Tree was fine now, right?

He looked surprised and delighted. This was definitely good news.

In any case, he had finally seen Dream and had many things he wanted to ask it.

"Miu Miu~~~!!!" Dream first nodded happily, then looked pained as it turned to look at Victini hiding behind Eevee.

"Mew~~~"

It didn't realize there was such a Pokémon with Fang Yuan.

If it had known earlier, it wouldn't have needed to sleep for so long. If it had let this little guy filled with Infinite Energy charge the World Tree, it would have been out playing already!!

This was also why Dream kept staring at Victini since its arrival.

It really wanted to abduct Fang Yuan's little Pokémon to become its sister...
