September 16, at sunrise.
Gaudí's Courtyard, Alamos Town.
Golden sunlight spilled across the lush green courtyard.
Beneath a tree at the edge of the courtyard's little grove, Yellow and Darkrai were training to contain the energy released by Bad Dreams.
It was this leaking energy that caused the Alamos Town residents to have nightmares whenever they fell asleep.
When Li Wei and Cynthia arrived with Cresselia, Darkrai and Yellow stopped training.
The moment Cresselia met Darkrai's eyes, she knew Li Wei and Cynthia had not lied to her.
Although Cresselia's Ability was not Anticipation,
she possessed a power of perception that kept her from ever appearing before ill-intentioned Trainers.
Cresselia could sense that this Darkrai was different.
Especially when she saw Yellow, Tonio, Alice, and the courtyard's Pokémon standing beside Darkrai.
Darkrai were always loners.
Plenty of Psychic-type Pokémon lived on Fullmoon Island, but Newmoon Island had not a single Pokémon, not even a Ghost-type or Dark-type.
That was the result of Darkrai's Bad Dreams.
No person or Pokémon could endure waking from nightmares every single day, unable to get any sleep at all.
Excitement flashed in Yellow's eyes when she saw them, especially Cresselia.
"Cynthia, Mr. Li Wei, you're here!"
Yellow had never expected Li Wei and the others to bring Cresselia over so quickly.
She remembered them saying they would only set out yesterday afternoon.
Cresselia first turned her orange-red eyes toward Cynthia and Li Wei, giving them a slight nod.
Then her gaze settled on Darkrai, surrounded by humans and Pokémon.
Without a moment's hesitation, Cresselia slowly rose into the air, hovering in the brightening sky.
Then, in the rising sunlight over Alamos Town, Cresselia began her sacred dance-Lunar Dance.
She let out an ethereal, melodious cry that cleansed the heart like the tolling of temple bells.
