Everyone knew the saying "treating the symptoms, not the cause," but why, most of the time, could people only treat the symptoms rather than the cause?
There was no helping it. Either there wasn't enough money, or it was simply beyond them.
For instance, Dian knew that the key to perfectly mastering nightmare power lay with Darkrai.
But he could hardly find a Darkrai and slice it up for research.
Catching a Darkrai was a minor matter. The question was whether he could control a Darkrai that could enter dream space whenever it wanted.
Besides, if word of it got out, a whole bunch of Darkrai might come over to teach him a lesson.
Just as people with psychic powers feared being dissected for research, Pokémon feared that humans might actually dare to carry out their various schemes.
So anyone who showed signs of trying would probably soon find themselves reincarnated into their next life.
Volcanion seemed to see what Dian was thinking. It chuckled. "That's right. If your Beedrill wants to master the cycle of dream power, it either needs to obtain Darkrai's most fundamental power to protect itself.
"Or it needs to spend years upon years in dream space, slowly changing its very nature. But by then, Beedrill would no longer be a Beedrill. It would be an entirely new species, and no one could know whether that would be good or bad."
Dian knew that such a change would be more thorough than the changes found in the Alola Region.

Then whether Beedrill would still be a Beedrill after changing was much harder to say.
That was why, every time it recovered, it had to exhaust its nightmare power all
