Speed Containing Laws

The Lake Guardians?

Xia Yan briefly went over everything that had happened since entering Alamos Town.

That basically confirmed Darkrai's words.

Although Darkrai was not a Legendary Pokémon, it was still a Mythical Pokémon—and a rather powerful one at that, capable of exchanging a few moves with Rayquaza.

That was also why Xia Yan felt that no one could possibly control it.

Unless Giratina had intervened.

But if it were Giratina, Alamos Town would not be as "peaceful" as it was now.

Dialga and Palkia had merely collided within a distant, unstable rift, yet that had already caused such changes in Alamos Town.

If Giratina, which was even stronger than them, had appeared and controlled Darkrai, then Alamos Town would probably have already become part of the Distortion World.

Since it was not Giratina—

Then the Lake Guardians were a good explanation.

As Legendary Pokémon, the Lake Guardians governed the authorities of "wisdom," "emotion," and "willpower."

Though their personal strength was not particularly formidable, the Divine Offices they wielded were anything but weak.

It was a reasonable explanation that they could influence Darkrai.

And if they could influence Darkrai, then influencing the Regular Trainers living in Alamos Town was only natural.

Who could have imagined it?

When Xia Yan had arrived in the evening, Alamos Town had still been peaceful and harmonious. Yet after dusk had passed, it had become this violently hostile place.

"He really is working with Darkrai!"

The moment Baron Albert saw Xia Yan and Darkrai standing calmly together, he shouted as the apparent leader.

"I never thought Mr. Xia Yan was this kind of person?!"

"Pah! And you still call him Mr. Xia Yan?"

"I recorded all of this! I'll upload it online later!"

"Defeat them!"

"..."

Curses erupted one after another from the red-eyed crowd,
