Alamos Town, Gaudí's garden.
Dark clouds quietly blotted out the sunlight, and a dark shadow raced through the garden.
Pikachu's radar kicked in. Lucario, Zeraora, and Metagross detected the target one after another.
Dragapult emerged from Li Wei's shadow.
"Drrr~"
As Dragapult sounded the alarm, Lucario and Zeraora stepped in front of them.
A shadowy black Pokémon appeared from the darkness-Darkrai, the nightmare Pokémon!
Ash and Pikachu braced themselves. "So this is..."
Dawn also stared intently at the newly appeared Pokémon. "Darkrai..."
Black ripples rapidly spread from beneath Darkrai. This was Darkrai's Ability-Bad Dreams.
The Lunar Wing in Li Wei's waist pouch lit up, automatically resisting Darkrai's black nightmare aura.
Shaymin also began to glow green, gripped by a sudden, inexplicable fear.
Even though Darkrai had not attacked.
Darkrai had merely appeared before them without launching an attack.
"Do not come here. Leave this place."
Darkrai used Telepathy to warn Li Wei and the others.
Alice exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined Darkrai really lived here!"
Tonio adjusted his glasses, now even more certain that Darkrai had been the one to save Alice when she fell from the cliff.
In a distant tree, the Real Protagonist Trio watched through binoculars.
Jessie's eyes lit up as she lay along a branch.
"What Pokémon is that? So cool!"
"That's Darkrai, meow~"
James added, "But the executive's here too."
Steven rubbed his chin and murmured softly.
"What does 'do not come here, leave this place' mean?"
Was Darkrai referring to them, to Alice and Tonio, or to those two clashing forces?
At least tell us who you're talking to!
Steven warned quietly, "This Darkrai is very strong."
Darkrai's presence gave Steven the same feeling as facing Regigigas.
But Steven could not gauge Darkrai's exact strength. He lacked Blue's talent for judging strength
