Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

It's estimated that not many people eat ice cream at this time of year; only die-hard fans like Zhu Lan would choose to eat ice cream at this time.

However, since Zhu Lan was the one who treated everyone, Hao Yan couldn't say anything.

I'm just praying that the place where we'll eat later will have a main dish.

... ...

Just as Haoyan and Zhulan were chatting quietly.

Suddenly, a voice rang in Haoyan's mind.

"Go away!"

In an instant, Hao Yan's entire demeanor sharpened, and his hand unconsciously rested on the precious ball at his waist.

The waveguide power within his body spread outwards.

Zhu Lan, who was standing nearby, noticed Hao Yan's unusual behavior and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Hao Yan?"

"Just now, a voice suddenly appeared in my head!"

He told me to get out of the way!

Haoyan said with a solemn expression.

"Get out of here?" Zhu Lan immediately became serious as well.

Because she had never seen Haoyan with such a solemn expression.

“That’s right!” Hao Yan closed his eyes, focused his mind, and tried to find that strange energy fluctuation.

No matter how hard he looked, he just couldn't find it!

They could only vaguely sense that there was something black and gaseous around Baiyang Town.

The aura of this thing quickly disappeared.

Zhu Lan scanned the surroundings of the venue and, finding nothing amiss, said, "Nothing special..."

"I didn't hear anything!"

Haoyan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the crowded venue, and said, "Never mind..."

"Maybe it's because I was too tired from preparing for the League Challenger Tournament recently..."

"So hallucinations occurred..."

Seeing that Haoyan's expression had returned to normal, Zhulan said, "Alright..."

"Looks like you really need to relax..."

"Yes," Hao Yan said casually, but his hand remained on his waist.

He heard the shout "Get out of here!" very clearly.

You absolutely cannot have misheard.

... ...

Chapter 511 Driving Away the Nightmare God Darkrai

After awarding ribbons to the winners of the grand contest, the grand contest in Poplar Town came to a successful close.

Zhu Lan and Hao Yan walked on the streets of Baiyang Town.

It must be said that the architectural style of Baiyang Town is very distinctive.

The entire town is characterized by its Gothic and postmodern architectural style.

Along the way, many people recognized Haoyan and greeted him.

Haoyan greeted each of them politely.

"Turn the corner up ahead, and it's about 200 meters away; that's the ice cream shop I was talking about..."

Zhu Lan was excited at the thought of eating her favorite ice cream later.

At the same time, I'm also a bit conflicted.

"Vanilla ice cream, or chocolate ice cream...?"

"The cranberry flavor is also good... and the sea salt flavor is quite unique..."

"Which flavor should I choose...?"

While Zhu Lan was struggling with her decision, Hao Yan vaguely sensed a strange energy moving around him.

Just as they were about to investigate, they heard a panicked scream from the crowd.

"Ah~"

"Honey, honey, what's wrong!"

Hearing the chaotic shouts, Zhu Lan stopped worrying and walked forward with Hao Yan.

Pushing through the crowd, I found a man lying unconscious on the ground at the end of the street.

His brows were furrowed.

It's like having a nightmare.

As the champion of the Sinnoh region, when something unusual happened on her territory, she was the first to step forward and ask, "What happened?"

One of the women said, "I don't know what happened either!"

"My partner and I were having afternoon tea when he suddenly fainted!"

Upon hearing what the woman said, Haoyan stepped forward, placed his hand on the unconscious man's pulse, and checked his condition.

"Heart rate is normal, vital signs are normal."

"Judging from his current appearance, he should be asleep."

The woman recognized Haoyan and heard him say that her lover was just asleep.

He then shook the fallen man forcefully.

The sleeping man showed no signs of waking up.

The woman quickly said, "Mr. Haoyan, if he's just asleep..."

"I shook him so hard just now, he should have woken up!"

"Why isn't he reacting at all?"

Hao Yan's handsome brows furrowed, and just as he was about to speak, a man behind him shouted, "Because he was hypnotized!"

Haoyan turned around and saw a red-haired man dressed in a red aristocratic outfit walking up behind him.

Baron Albert!

"What does this mean!" The woman clearly recognized the man dressed in aristocratic attire and asked repeatedly.

Baron Albert said confidently, "To be precise, your lover was attacked!"

"And it was Darkrai who attacked him!"

Darkrai!

The onlookers, upon hearing the name, all looked like they understood.

Clearly, the name Darkrai did not surprise them.

"Darkrai used Nightmare on your lover!"

"So no matter what you do, you can't wake him up!"

"Only when the nightmare ends will your loved one wake up!"

Baron Albert, dressed in noble attire, addressed the onlookers: "I'm sure you're all familiar with the legend of Darkrai, the Nightmare God!"

"Darkrai is an ominous Pokémon!"

"The fact that this gentleman has fallen today is the best proof!"

"Therefore, I urge everyone to unite all their forces to drive away Darkrai..."

Baron Albert continued to rouse the surrounding citizens.

Haoyan frowned and stood beside Zhulan.

"Haoyan, what do you think about this?" Zhulan asked.

Hao Yan said noncommittally, "Although I don't know the specifics of what happened, I don't quite agree with what that gentleman said."

In this world, for thousands of years.

Humans and Pokémon live in harmony.

Pokémon will not attack humans unless they force them.

Once upon a time, due to their ignorance, humans regarded Absol as a calamity Pokémon.

Absolu is precisely what reminds humanity when disaster strikes, urging them to stay away from places of calamity.

Absol is not a calamity beast at all; it should be a blessing beast.

However, Haoyan is not a local, and the matter is not significant, so I don't plan to comment too much.

He suggested, "Let's go get something to eat..."

Although Cynthia is the champion of the Sinnoh region, it's not appropriate for her to interfere too much in matters that concern her.

He left with Haoyan.

... ...

Chapter 512 You're the one who should get out of here.

The next morning, Zhu Lan took on the role of tour guide, leading Hao Yan on a tour of the streets of Baiyang Town.

"The shell-less sea hares here all have the shape and appearance of the East China Sea."

As Zhu Lan passed by a pond, she pointed to the Pokémon swimming in it and said to Hao Yan.
