Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Just after finishing the treatment, Nanfeng took his Poké Ball from Nurse Joy's hand and suddenly heard a surprised voice from the side.

"You are...you are the customer who bought the fossilized pterosaur fossil before?"

Nanfeng turned his head and saw an old acquaintance.

Ben Gray.

That's the same curator of the Sanctuary Museum who sold him the Dark Fossil Pterosaur skeleton.

"Long time no see," Nanfeng greeted him.

Ben Grey had no intention of greeting Southwind; without a word, he grabbed Southwind's hand and dragged her toward the backyard of the Pokémon Center.

"What's wrong?" Nanfeng asked, puzzled.

After Ben Grey dragged Southwind to the lounge behind the Pokémon Center, he looked around to make sure no one else was there before cautiously asking.

"Did you bring that pterosaur fossil to life?"

"It's revived!" Nanfeng said, taking out a Poké Ball and releasing it, instantly displaying the Dark Aerodactyl...

A fossilized pterosaur, its body enveloped in black light, perched on Nanfeng's shoulder like an eagle. However, given its size, it looked somewhat out of place perched on Nanfeng's shoulder, a mere human. It was only because Nanfeng possessed three precious orbs that he survived; otherwise, he would likely have been crushed to the ground.

"Put it away! Put it away!" Bengrei saw the Dark Aerodactyl and immediately reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He glared at Nanfeng and told him to quickly recall the Pokémon, while glancing around as if afraid that someone might have seen the Dark Aerodactyl.

Nanfeng was even more puzzled, but still used a Poké Ball to recall the Dark Aerodactyl.

Seeing the Dark Fossil Pterodactyl being retrieved, Ben Grey breathed a sigh of relief, then asked helplessly.

"You just came from another region, right?"

"Yes," Nanfeng answered honestly.

“No wonder…” Ben Grey muttered, then continued, “How’s your luck been since you resurrected it?”

"Huh?" Nanfeng looked confused. What? Does the Dark Fossil Aerodactyl have a "super lucky" buff just like Togepi?

"Are you plagued by bad luck?" Ben Gray pressed.

"No," Nanfeng answered without hesitation. He had resurrected the Dark Fossil Pteranodon a long time ago, and so far, not only had he not encountered any bad things, but his "luck was like a rainbow"!

I just caught a shiny Zeraora.

"No...?" Ben Gray hesitated for a moment when he heard that the answer given by South 0.8 Wind was different from what he had expected.

"Of course, I've always been very lucky," Nanfeng said without batting an eye.

I've always had good luck when I'm with Togepi.

"Is that so... then it seems it's not a problem with the scythe helmet," Ben Grey muttered to himself.

"Director, why are you asking me these questions?" This time it was Nanfeng's turn to ask in return.

Just as Ben Gray was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud "boom" in the distance, followed by a series of splashing sounds.

The already gloomy sky seemed to have its brightness dimmed even further at this moment.

Ben Gray's face turned deathly pale with the sound of the explosion.

"The Dark Pokémon is back!"

370. Dark Pokémon Reappears

Dark Pokémon are back?

Nanfeng paused for a moment, but Ben Grey had already run off toward the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

Nanfeng quickly chased after him.

We arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

A group of trainers are directing their Pokémon in a battle against several Pokémon whose bodies are shrouded in black energy.

These Pokémon, shrouded in black energy, are undoubtedly "Dark Pokémon." Their eyes are bloodshot, as if their sole purpose in life is to tear apart any enemy before them.

"Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!" a trainer initiated the attack.

Two jets of water immediately shot out from the two cannons on the back of a Blastoise, attacking a Dark Pokémon, Starmie.

It's clear that this trainer has trained Blastoise quite well.

The water jets spraying from the cannon barrels spun and moved forward in mid-air, their heads resembling spikes, like two battering rams, easily piercing through enemy attacks.

However, the result was that Starmie easily withstood Blastoise's Water Gun with its hard, gem-like body, and then it countered with the same Water Gun move.

The Dark Pokémon's Hydro Pump is no ordinary water pump; the stream of water shooting out from the dark red gem is pitch black, resembling the muddy wastewater in a sewer.

"Dark Waves!"

The jet of dark water slammed into Blastoise, sending it flying and crashing into a wall before finally coming to a stop. By the time Blastoise slid down the wall, it was completely exhausted.

Judging from the effects of their moves, the two Pokémon's moves are very close in power, and their levels should be similar.

One is ineffective, while the other can instantly kill the opponent.

A little weird.

In fact, Blastoise's Special Defense is even higher than Starmie's.

Seeing this scene, Nanfeng suddenly remembered something.

The moves used by Dark Pokémon are no longer ordinary moves, but are called "Dark Moves". The characteristic of Dark Moves is that they are "extremely effective" against any Pokémon.

It's as if there's an attribute that transcends all others and simultaneously restrains all others.

It was only resisted by the Dark Pokémon itself.

However, darkness is not a type, because Starmie still has the Water type, so it can still resist Water-type moves with its Water type. Blastoise, even though it has the Water type, will take double damage when hit by black water!

Tsk tsk, Dark Pokémon...so domineering!

This is why Nanfeng insisted on cultivating the Dark Fossil Pterosaur.

It wasn't just Blastoise's trainer who got beaten up when facing Dark Pokémon for the first time because he didn't understand the tricks of the trade; other trainers encountered the same situation.

Even if they deliberately use Pokémon that have an elemental advantage against the other's, the best outcome would only be mutual destruction.

Seeing that several trainers had been defeated one after another, and that the trainers who followed were not very strong, Nanfeng decisively took action.

"Boscodora, a major hit!"

The golden Aggron leaps out of the Poké Ball.

Its golden body exploded with a loud bang upon landing, its heavy metal properties giving it an extremely terrifying weight.

"Kora!!" The golden Boss Doraemon roared excitedly. Usually, its master commanded it to fight against some weak Pokémon, but today it finally encountered a few stronger Pokémon.

With a slight bend in his body, his torso immediately tilted forward, and his massive, golden-mountain-like form was propelled uncontrollably forward, crashing head-on into an "Electric Beast".

Heavy Strike is a move whose power increases the stronger the opponent's stamina.

Nanfeng's Radiant Gold Boss Dora weighs several tons, while this Electivire weighs over 200 pounds, making it quite large. Nearly ten times the weight! The power of the massive impact has been maximized.

However, the Electabuzz was completely unaware of what it was facing. Upon seeing the heavy impact of the Golden Aggron, it neither dodged nor avoided, but instead raised its fist and unleashed a "Dark Lightning".

"Thud!" A violent collision between flesh and steel.

The next second—no, the next instant—Electabuzz vanished as if it had never existed. Only the distant sound of walls shattering and the large holes in the walls bearing the outlines of Electabuzz proved that it had truly been there.

"Metal claws!" Nanfeng continued, relaying the command.

The Golden Aggron paused slightly, its golden body twisting as it slapped a Dark Pokémon, Scyther, to its side.

"Watch out!" Just as the golden Boss Dora was dealing with Kamui, a cry of alarm suddenly came from the side.

Nanfeng looked up and saw that a Dark Pokémon, Rhyperior, had been dodged by Sneasel while using Horn Drill. Unable to stop, it crashed headfirst into the glass door of the Pokémon Center and was pushing in like a bulldozer, about to hit Nurse Joy at the front desk of the Pokémon Center.

At the critical moment, before Nanfeng could even have Gardevoir make a move, a swift red figure suddenly flashed past everyone's eyes and blocked Nurse Joy's path.

"Thump!" A loud sound.

The armored tyrannosaurus seemed to have crashed into a steel wall.

It was that swift red shadow that firmly grasped the horn of the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The armored tyrannosaurus, whose size and tonnage were comparable to a tank, was immediately forced to stop. Even with a little more force, it could not advance any further.

"Ugh~" A soft, sweet cry rang out, and the massive body of the Ironhide Rhyperior floated in the air as if it had lost its gravity. The next second, it was thrown out of the Pokémon Center and crashed into a Dark Pokémon, Kangaskhan, which was in the middle of a battle. Both Kangaskhan and Rhyperior were sent flying.

"Latias!!" Many people recognized the red figure at a glance.

In the water city of Altomaré, Latias and Latios are totem-like figures, with statues of them at every important landmark. Even today, their stories are still told in Altomaré.

In the story, Latias is the guardian of Altomarai! It was Latias and Latios who defeated the dark Pokémon that had once invaded Altomarai!

"Emperor!" A blue shadow descended from outside the Pokémon Center. It swatted away two dark Pokémon with its dragon claws, stopped at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, looked at Latias, and then soared into the sky.

It is another protagonist in the legend, Latios.

"Hmm~" Latias responded softly and hurried after its brother.

371. Dark Dragonite!

The arrival of Latios and Latias brought the battle at the entrance of the Pokémon Center to a swift end.

Even the Dark Pokémon are no match for the legendary Pokémon.

However, the Dark Pokémon invading Altomarre are not just the dozen or so at the Pokémon Center; a large number of Dark Pokémon are also attacking other buildings and people in Altomarre.

Latios and Latias rushed off to provide support elsewhere.

Watching the two siblings leave, Nanfeng recalled the Golden Aggron, changed its Poké Ball, and then sent out his own Pokémon.

Blaziken, Garchomp, and Salamence make their appearance one by one.

"Go and clear out the dark Pokémon attacking Aldormare," Nanfeng instructed Blaziken and Garchomp, then leaped onto Salamence's back, with Gardevoir following closely behind.

"grumble!"

"Kahoo!" The two elves responded in unison, and ran off in opposite directions toward the sound of battle.

The dominant salamander flapped its wings and took to the air, carrying the south wind to chase after the siblings Latios and Latias.

Bengrave on the ground stared in shock at the South Wind in the sky, never expecting that the South Wind was actually a powerful elf.

..

As soon as it took off, Nanfeng spotted a lot of dark clouds.

That was the Dark Pokémon Altaria, whose white clouds were stained black by the power of darkness.

Not to mention, it’s pretty nice.

"Salamander, Draco!" No matter how beautiful a Pokémon is, if it attacks you with its eyes glowing red, you should still fight it.

"Roar!" The overlord salamander roared, spitting out a large, dark green fireball that shot into the sky.

The dark green fireball suddenly exploded when it reached its apex, splitting into countless smaller fireballs. In an instant, it seemed as if Odomare was welcoming a "meteor shower" from hell!

"Be careful and don't cause unnecessary damage," Nanfeng instructed.

This is training the dominant salamander in terms of power control, so that the Altaria won't end up turning Odomarea into ruins before it even kills a few of them.

Upon receiving the command from the South Wind, the dominant salamander immediately and carefully controlled the "meteors" in mid-air, making each meteor chase and bombard the Altaria like a homing missile.

This is the result of the salamander's long-term training.

The Altaria that attempted to attack the South Wind and the Salamence immediately suffered heavy casualties. The Altaria that had not yet undergone Mega Evolution were not yet "traitors to the Dragon Clan," and they were now taking double damage from Dragon-type moves.

With the added advantage of being ten or fifteen levels higher in level, they simply couldn't withstand even a single blow from the overlord salamander.

"Nai!" Gardevoir suddenly reminded Nanfeng, as she sensed something in the future and raised her hand at the same time.

The dominant salamander and Nanfeng instantly teleported a hundred meters away.

The next second, a black meteor streaked across the spot where the dominant salamander had just been, disappearing in an instant. Immediately following was a loud bang.

Close to the ground of the Plaza de la Odomare, Latios collided with the black meteor.

To be precise, it was actively intercepting the meteor.

The price was that Latios himself was struck directly into the ground by the meteor. The earth cracked and water overflowed from the fissures.

Nanfeng then clearly saw the origin of the black meteor.
