The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 197 This Dream is So Bitter
It was not completely dark yet, and there were not many people and Pokémon sleeping in the royal city, let alone anyone having nightmares.

So Darkrai could only wander aimlessly in the royal city, moving through the shadows.

In fact, it can actively create nightmares through the nightmare feature, but Angel will not allow it.

Bound by the Master Ball, it can neither escape nor defeat the enemy, so it can only accept its fate.

Suddenly it sensed the existence of a nightmare, and its figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, quickly diving in the direction where the nightmare occurred.

The one having the nightmare was an old Dorimia.

Dorimia's owner passed away recently. She grew up with her owner and had been with him for more than 60 years, watching him grow from a child to an adult, and from getting married to having children.

But a month ago, the owner finally succumbed to the cycle of life and death.

After its owner died, it was taken in by the owner's daughter to live in her home.

The owner's daughter treats it very well, and the owner's daughter's daughter also likes it very much. She even vowed that in the future, she must choose a Dorimia like it as her first Pokémon.

But it still felt something was wrong.

Yes, it’s because the owner is gone.

Now that its owner is gone, it feels like something is missing every day, so it becomes confused and suffers from nightmares all day long.

It thought it was about to die!

It’s better to die, so that it can go to see its dearest owner.

When evening came this day, Dorimia lay on the cushion in front of the window, looked at the setting sun, and fell asleep in a daze.

As usual, it had a nightmare.

Ah~ I dreamed of this scene again. It was my master’s funeral. All around was white, heavy and solemn black, and everyone’s crying.

Dorimia squatted next to the black and white photo, while the owner's daughter, her son-in-law and granddaughter knelt in front of the photo, wiping their tears.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going, all of them coming to attend their master's funeral.

Everyone was crying, but Dorimia couldn't cry at all. She just squatted there blankly, as if she had lost her soul, and she even forgot how to move her eyes.

Suddenly, the owner's daughter hugged it, and the little owner cried loudly, and his tears wet the fur on its neck.

Depressed!

So depressing!
Uncomfortable!

So sad!
Dorimia felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Master, where are you?
Save me...save me quickly!

Just when Dorimia was about to collapse, a dark shadow appeared in her dream.

The black shadow opened its huge mouth, and in an instant, it seemed as if all the darkness was swallowed up by it.

Dorimia felt dazed for a moment, and when she came to her senses she found herself in a different place.

The surroundings were no longer all black and white, nor were there no noisy cries, but instead there was a bustling and prosperous street.

The streets are bustling with people, filled with laughter and joy everywhere.

It was the familiar street of Royal City of Azot, where it had lived with its owner for decades.

Suddenly it heard a familiar voice.

"Dorimia, what are you doing there? Come here quickly, or I'll leave you behind!"

Dorimia looked in the direction of the voice and then her eyes widened in disbelief.

He is the master, the master when he was young.

The owner was wearing a white dress, carrying her favorite bag in her hand, and wearing a white sun hat. Her long black hair fluttered in the breeze.

Dorimia raised her feet, ran quickly towards her master, then threw herself into his arms, licking his cheek with her tongue.

It's the master! My master!

"Oh, what's wrong with you, Dolimia? You're so enthusiastic today." The owner laughed at Dolimia's enthusiasm.

After a long time, the master stood up and said to Dorimia: "Dorimia, let's go!"

Dorimia nodded and followed her master at a brisk pace.

Next, it followed its owner and walked happily on the streets of the Royal City of Azoth.

The owner took it to buy beautiful clothes.

I went to eat the food I always wanted to eat but never had the chance to eat.
I also went to the barber shop to get a fashionable haircut. It was Dorimia's favorite king style. She had wanted to have a haircut like this for a long time.

After getting her hair cut, Dorimia walked proudly on the street.

Happy times are always short, and soon it was evening. The soft sunset cast a layer of warm light on the royal city.

The owner was walking in front, and suddenly turned around. Her back was facing the setting sun, and the shadow covered her face, making it unclear.

"Dorimia, I'm so happy today!"

Dorimia nodded and was also very happy.

"But..." At this point, the master paused, "We still have to part ways after all."

Dorimia was stunned.

Then it saw a bright smile on its master's face. She winked at Dorimia and said in a relaxed tone:
"I don't want you to come to see me too early!"

But Dorimia's face was already wet with tears.

"Dorimia~" The master's voice became softer, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She pleaded in a gentle tone:

"Dorimia, you will live well on my behalf and protect Aya and Reiko, right?"

Aya is the name of the owner's daughter, and Lingzi is the name of the owner's granddaughter.

Dominia nodded vigorously, Yes! It will!

The owner showed reluctance on her face when she saw this. She slowly squatted down and gently hugged Dorimia's neck.

"Be good and live bravely, okay? I will always be by your side, always, forever."

Dominia nodded and rubbed her head softly against her master's neck.

Slowly, the master turned into stars of light and disappeared in the sunset.

After a long time, Dominia opened her eyes with tears in her eyes.

At this time, the little master Aya came over. She squatted down and gently stroked Dolimia's head. "Dolimia, do you miss your mother again?"

Feeling the warmth of the little master's palm, Dolimia's originally dim eyes showed a hint of spirit.

Master, I will protect the little master and the little master for you.

"Dorimia, are you hungry? Can I get you something to eat?" Aya asked.

Since her mother passed away, Dorimia has only eaten a little bit every day, and Aya is really afraid that it will follow her mother.

She really couldn't bear losing two family members in a row.

Originally, Aya thought that Dorimia would refuse like before, but unexpectedly, it nodded and agreed.

Aya showed ecstasy on her face, "Dolimia, just wait, it will be ready in a moment!"

With that she stood up and ran to the kitchen.

When Lingzi came back from school, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa holding Dolimia and watching TV. Compared with before, Dolimia looked much more energetic.

"Mom, Dolimia!" Lingzi cheered and sat next to her mother and Dolimia, chattering to them about what happened at school today.

Darkrai, who had already gone far away, looked pale.

Bah~ Bah~ What kind of dream is this? Why is it so bitter!

Then, Darkrai wandered around the city again, swallowing up several nightmares of varying sizes.

As it gets darker, more people fall asleep and more and more people have nightmares.

I have a nightmare again!
Darkrai quickly dived into the darkness and headed in the direction where the nightmare happened.

At least 100 nightmares. How long will it take?
Xiaocheng is ten years old this year and is a student at the Trainer School. Tomorrow is the day he will receive his initial Pokémon and become a trainer.

(Note: In the world view of this book, anyone can become a trainer at any age. The League does not have a hard and fast rule that one must be ten years old. Ten is just the age at which one is allowed to travel with Pokémon. For example, Poppy, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Padya, was already one of the Four Heavenly Kings at the age of nine.

The policy of only allowing children to own Pokémon at the age of ten is a local policy formulated by some regions and cities based on their own circumstances.)
Some children in the school have their own Pokémon very early.

This has to do with the teacher's educational philosophy.

Some teachers think that children should be exposed to Pokémon as early as possible and establish a deep bond with Pokémon.

Some teachers believe that children are not mentally mature enough before the age of ten, and being exposed to Pokémon too early is not good for either them or Pokémon. If they cannot get along well with each other, children may even hate Pokémon.

Therefore, before the age of ten, it is important to lay a solid foundation, learn knowledge, and understand how to get along with Pokémon in the future.

Xiaocheng’s teacher is the latter.

At first, Xiaocheng was very envious of other children who had Pokémon at an early age.

However, one time when he was returning home, he was suddenly attacked by a wild squid king on the road. Although he was rescued in time, the squid king's terrifying face is still deeply engraved in his mind.

From that day on, Xiaocheng developed some trauma against Pokémon, and his body would tremble uncontrollably when facing Pokémon.

Whenever he encounters Pokémon in real life, he will subconsciously avoid them.

Therefore, when Xiao Cheng was notified that he would have to choose his initial Pokémon tomorrow, he became very anxious.

Because he was afraid that his parents would worry, he never told them about his sequelae.

Perhaps what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night, and Xiaocheng had a nightmare at night.

In his dream, he appeared in a dark forest. The forest was empty and there was nothing in it.

Xiao Cheng was terrified. He walked in the forest in a panic, calling out anxiously:
"Dad, Mom, where are you?"

But there was no response.

"Hehehe~~"

"Jiejiejie~~"

"Hahaha~~"

Suddenly, a terrifying laugh came from the darkness around, and Xiaocheng was frightened to the point of trembling.

Then, one squid after another floated out from the depths of the forest, looking at it with malicious eyes.

Then, surrounded by a group of cute squids, a terrifying king squid slowly floated out.

"Madong~Madong~" There was a terrifying light in the Squid King's eyes, just like the day Xiaocheng was attacked.

Xiaocheng stepped back subconsciously, but he was still surrounded by the squids behind him.

"Dad...Mom..." Xiaocheng was shaking with fear, his eyes filled with tears.

"Mah-dong~Mah-dong~"

At this time, the Squid King began to command the squids to attack Xiaocheng.

At the same time, a black shadow appeared in Xiaocheng's dream and swallowed Xiaocheng's nightmare in one gulp.

In an instant, the dark forest in Xiao Cheng's dream disappeared, replaced by a beautiful forest full of birdsong, flowers and greenery.

However, the King Squid and the Good Squids did not disappear with him.

Just when the illusion light emitted by Hao Laguai was about to hit Xiaocheng, a pillar of fire, a stream of water and a string of green light appeared out of nowhere and instantly defeated the illusion light.

"Foke~"

"Kairo~"

"Hali~"

Under Xiaocheng's surprised gaze, three small Pokémon fell from the sky, a fiery red fox, a blue frog and a green hedgehog.

Aren’t these the three starting Pokémon that novice trainers in the Kalos region can choose from – Firefox, Froggy, and Harley!

It was the jets of flame, water waves and missile needles they emitted that had just blocked the phantom light.

"Foke~"

"Kairo~"

"Hali~"

The three Pokémon turned around and looked at Xiaocheng with firm eyes, as if to say: Don’t be afraid, we are here.

The appearance of the three Pokémon made the Squid King furious. He roared and ordered all the Squids to attack the three Pokémon.

In an instant, countless illusory lights came flooding in.

However, the three Pokémon were very brave.

The fire fox used the fire vortex, and raging flames gushed out of its mouth, instantly destroying a large area of ​​illusory light and trapping some of the squids in the fire vortex.

The Bubble Frog was equally powerful. It created water waves, and a stream of water swept out, destroying a large area of ​​illusory light. Many squids were even thrown into chaos because of it.

Halili was not willing to be outdone, and green missiles shot out from the spikes on his head, each of which could accurately hit a beam of phantom light.

Under Xiaocheng's surprised gaze, Fire Fox, Bubble Frog and Halili knocked down one Squid after another, protecting him unwaveringly.

But the number of the Good Squids was too large. Fire Fox, Frog and Halili were no match for them and were soon injured one after another.

"Fire Fox, Bubble Frog, and Halili!" Xiaocheng's face subconsciously showed a worried expression.

As if sensing Xiaocheng's worry, the three Pokémon turned around at the same time and looked at Xiaocheng and smiled at him.

The next second, in Xiaocheng's surprised gaze, white light appeared on the bodies of Fire Fox, Bubble Frog and Halili.

Based on what he learned in school, Xiaocheng knew that the fire foxes were about to evolve.

Sure enough, after the light dissipated, the Fire Fox, the Bubble Frog and the Halili evolved into the Long-tailed Fire Fox, the Croaking-headed Frog and the Fat Halili respectively.

After evolving, the three Pokémon became much stronger and quickly defeated the group of Squids.

Well, the squid was defeated, and the Squid King was so angry that he decided to take action himself.

"Mah~"

The squid king swung two tentacles with blades, and two arc-shaped energy blades shot out instantly.

Quail-headed Frog and Fat Hali quickly stepped forward.

The water in the hands of the Quaoto frog gathered and turned into a blade to fight against one of the spiritual blades.

Fat Hali's whole body glowed with white light, and he used the Slam skill to turn to another mental blade.

The long-tailed fire fox took the opportunity to swing the wooden stick in its hand and use jets of flame to attack the squid king.

It’s a pity that the Squid King is too strong.

After a while of stalemate between the water stream and the spiritual blade, the Quao-Tou Frog was finally defeated. The water blade in its hand broke and was swept away by the spiritual blade.

Fat Hali's violent collision with the spiritual blade caused sparks to fly, and he was also knocked away.

"Mah-dong~Mah-dong~"

The Squid King laughed and floated towards Xiao Cheng. The Long-Tailed Fire Fox tried to stop him, but was hit by a hidden attack and flew backwards with a scream.

The Frog and Fat Harry quickly got up and attacked the Squid King again, but they were controlled by the Squid King's mental power and thrown out heavily.

"Quack-headed frog, Fat Harry, Long-tailed fire fox!"

Seeing the three Pokémon fighting so hard for him, Xiaocheng was deeply moved, but he was powerless to do anything.

Seeing the Squid King getting closer and closer to Xiaocheng, suddenly the three Pokémon behind it shouted.

Suddenly, flames burst out from the long-tailed fire fox's body and instantly enveloped it.

A stream of water also gushed out from the body of the quagga frog, swirling and wrapping around it.

A green light emerged from Fat Harry's body, completely enveloping him.

By the time the flames, water and green light disappeared, they had evolved into new forms, the Fire Fox, Greninja and Brikaron.

"Lilong!!" Brikalon roared and took the lead in using his arm hammer to attack the Squid King.

The Squid King swung out his mental blade to stop it, but Brikalon curled up and grew emerald green spikes all over his body, successfully defending against the mental blade.

After evolving, Brikaron learns the defensive skill Spike Guard.

At the same time, Greninja, with its excellent speed, had quietly come behind the Squid King, and while it was attacking Brikaron, it threw a flying water shuriken, hitting the Squid King on the back.

The Squid King was knocked back and staggered, falling forward uncontrollably, while the Demonic Fire Red Fox met his face with a blast of magic fire.

The squid king was beaten dizzy and dazed. Brickalon flashed to its side and hit it in the abdomen with an arm hammer.

Finally, the squid king arrived.

After defeating the Squid King, the three Pokémon came together, stood side by side in front of Xiaocheng, and put their hands on Xiaocheng's shoulders at the same time.

From their smiling eyes, Xiao Cheng seemed to see them saying to him:
Come on, we're waiting for you!
Then, in a flash of light, the three Pokémon turned into stars of light and disappeared.

Xiao Cheng thought: Maybe he will never be afraid of Pokémon again.

After the three Pokémon disappeared, the knocked-down Squidward and Cuttlefish King also turned into star-like points of light and dissipated.

Darkrai left home when he was young, and his face was still sallow.

vomit~vomit~
What a nasty nightmare!

At this time, Darkrai finally realized Angel's sinister intentions.

Humans are creatures with very strong emotions. Their dreams are full of various situations, sadness, pain, fear...

After eating those dreams, mixed emotions will enter Darkrai's body, making Darkrai feel very uncomfortable.

In comparison, the dreams of the tree-pillowed bear are pure and simple.

The night is long, and there are still nightmares waiting for Darkrai to "taste".
