Let's rewind time by about half a day.
On a southern isolated island in the southern sea of the Hoenn region.
Buzz buzz buzz~
A helicopter with the Pokémon League logo landed on this uninhabited island.
The strong wind stirred up by the propeller scared the Wurmples and Zigzagoons living here, causing them to flee in the opposite direction.
The helicopter door opened.
Coming down from it was none other than Dakuto.
"Is it here?"
Dakuto asked as he descended.
"Yes, Master Dakuto."
The pilot who was originally responsible for flying the helicopter also came down and replied, "According to the information obtained by the chairman, a pair of Infinite Pokémon siblings live on this island."
Infinite Pokémon, trainers who know Pokémon well would know, refers to the Latios and Latias siblings.
They are known as "Infinite Pokémon."
The most famous legend about these siblings is naturally Orre, located in the sea area of the Johto region, known as the "Water Capital."
Legend has it that Latios and Latias are the guardians of that city.
But like the Legendary beasts, Latios and Latias also have a group of Pokémon.
And according to the information, two of them live on this island.
"If it is a Dragon + Psychic type Infinite Pokémon, then my Darkrai will have a great advantage."
Dakuto smiled confidently and quickly headed towards the depths of the island, surrounded by many guards.
However, what they didn't notice was that behind them, there were two figures quietly following.
……
The deepest part of this southern isolated island is a small waterfall.
And when Dakuto and the others arrived, a pair of Pokémon, one blue and one red, were playing with a group of Water-type Pokémon under the waterfall.
"As expected! It's Latios and Latias!"
Dakuto's face under his bangs was ecstatic.
Without saying a word, he took out a Poké Ball.
"Go! Darkrai!"
The aura of the Dark type already made the Dragon siblings who were Psychic types uncomfortable, let alone Darkrai, who was known as the "Nightmare God".
The moment Dakuto released Darkrai, Latios and Latias turned their heads to look over.
The wild Pokémon who were originally playing with the siblings scattered in all directions.
And the guards who came with Dakuto were not idle either.
When Dakuto sent out Darkrai, they surrounded the area and sent out Crawdaunt, Mightyena, and Glalie to form an iron bucket formation to prevent them from escaping.
All of them are Pokémon that restrain the Dragon siblings' attributes.
Obviously, they came prepared.
"Latios, Latias, let me capture you."
Dakuto walked behind his Darkrai and said with a faint smile.
"Ssiyaa?"
Latios raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression a little unhappy.
He was used to living in seclusion here with his sister, but if he met a human he liked very much, he wouldn't be so resistant to traveling with them.
After all, the siblings didn't have the responsibility of guarding the city like the two in Orre.
But the first impression of this human in front of him was not very good.
If you want to challenge me one-on-one to capture me, that's fine.
What's the meaning of calling so many helpers?
This made Latios, who was upright and even a little stubborn, not very satisfied.
"Ssiyaa!"
Latios cried out, opening his claws like a fighter jet's landing gear, obviously entering a battle state.
Seeing this posture, it won't end without a fight, so let's do it!
"Darkrai! Dark Void!"
Dakuto smiled when he saw this and waved his hand to order.
If Cynthia, who had known Dakuto since childhood, saw this scene, she would definitely complain, "Why is it this trick again?"
After getting Darkrai, Dakuto's usage of this pseudo-legendary Pokémon was basically Dark Void, Dark Void, Dark Void to put the opponent to sleep, and then take them away with a Dream Eater.
It has the flavor of three axes.
But I have to say that it is really difficult for trainers below the strength of the Elite Four to crack his routine.
……
Having no responsibility on Latios like the one in Orre, means that this wild Latios can be captured normally.
But it also means that his strength is probably not as good as the one in Orre.
After all, without the burden of guarding one side of the water and soil, he is somewhat lazy in terms of cultivation.
Not to mention that the surroundings were blocked by Dakuto's guards.
Latios couldn't even run away with his sister.
But both Latios and Darkrai belong to the mythical pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and it is not easy to determine the winner in a short time.
Even if Latios's attribute is restrained.
And as Rika said before, Dakuto simply did not exert Darkrai's potential.
Therefore, even with the assistance of multiple trainers, Darkrai did not take down the opponent for a while.
Thump!
At this moment, Latios rushed into the waterfall, making it impossible for Darkrai to identify his position for a while.
Faced with this situation, Dakuto hesitated for a moment, and the next second changed his order, "Darkrai, Thunderbolt!"
But this second of hesitation was seized by Latios.
Latios flew out and spat out a pale purple dragon flame.
Dragon Pulse!
"Mr. Mime, Misty Terrain!"
Almost at the same moment when Latios launched Dragon Pulse.
A guard with a Kanto Mr. Mime issued an order.
Mr. Mime put his palms on the ground, emitting a faint pink mist, coating all the Pokémon on the ground with a layer of pink mist protective cover, naturally, including Darkrai.
Boom——
Dragon Pulse hit in the next second.
However, the full-force dragon flame only made the Nightmare God stagger two steps.
Did not cause much damage.
Latios's face changed slightly.
The Mr. Mime trainer smiled and said, "Sure enough, the power of the Fairy type can greatly offset the power of Dragon type moves. Dr. Sumomo is indeed the most outstanding scientist in the League, completely changing the balance of Pokémon battles."
Originally, the power of Psychic type against Darkrai of the Dark type was negligible, and now the power of Dragon type has been reduced by half.
Now Latios is really forced to a dead end.
"Dark Void!"
Finally, Darkrai used its signature skill.
Dark Void hit Latios head-on.
Latios, who was hit head-on, only felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and only vaguely saw that human throwing a ball at himself.
Damn it... forget it, the loser should not look for reasons...
"I captured Latios!"
Dakuto shouted excitedly, throwing the Poké Ball.
However, at this moment, a wave of Dark Pulse roared out.
The Poké Ball thrown by Dakuto was shattered in mid-air.
Dakuto, the surrounding guards, and Latias on the edge of the waterfall, who was anxious and didn't know what to do, were all stunned.
Wh-what's going on!?
Immediately afterwards, a Great Ball flew out.
Hit Latios who was already asleep.
The automatically opened Great Ball emitted a red light and sucked Latios into it.
Before the Great Ball could issue a prompt that the capture was successful.
A Honchkrow had already flown out, grabbed the ball with its bird claws, and flew to the right side of the waterfall.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Found that the Honchkrow flew to a masked woman and presented the Great Ball to the other party.
"I captured Latios."
The masked woman said with a playful smile, full of sarcasm, the same words as Dakuto just now.
"You bastard!"
Dakuto rarely showed an angry expression.
He had just done so much, but in the end, he made a wedding dress for others!?
"Master Dakuto, be careful!"
Immediately a guard recognized the other party's true identity, and a group of people protected Dakuto and shouted:
"That person is Rika, one of Joker's companions!"
"Oh ~ Miss Rika, your true identity has been revealed ~"
Satch walked out from behind Rika and smiled.
"Hmph ~ The League already knows my true identity."
Rika sneered.
From the beginning, the League executives headed by Damalanchi and Drake knew Rika's true identity.
The reason why the wanted order still only has a picture of Rika wearing a mask until now.
Just because Rika's father, Ritsuki, is more influential.
In order to give him face, the League executives did not expose Rika's true face.
"Then there's still one ~"
Satch glanced at the wild Latias on the edge of the waterfall who was still stunned and didn't know how to face the situation.
"...It's not bad to have one more option."
Rika thought for a while and aimed her eyes at the frightened Dragon Girl.
I don't know which one Sumomo likes, the blue one or the red one, so I might as well grab them all.
"Oh ~ Then my goal is him."
Satch smiled and aimed his target at Dakuto, or rather, Darkrai beside Dakuto!
"Is it okay? He has an owner."
Rika raised her eyebrows slightly.
Satch smiled more exaggeratedly and said: "Miss Rika, don't worry, I am an expert in training Pokémon with owners."
……
More than ten minutes later.
"Stop crying! I will entrust you siblings to the best trainers in the world in the future, and you will be too late to thank me!"
Looking at the tearful Dragon Girl inside through the translucent ball cover, Rika said impatiently.
The battle with this Latias, who had been protected by Latios in an ivory tower since childhood, reminded Rika of her previous memories of challenging the Cerulean Gym.
Before she could fight twice, the opponent started crying.
It made her embarrassed to attack.
Latias bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard to hold back the little pearls.
Mainly because she was frightened by Rika.
Rika turned her head and looked at the lawn.
I saw that the guards were scattered on the ground like overturned dominoes, and there were their respective Pokémon around them.
Dakuto's condition was not much better.
At this moment, he knelt on the ground, his expression was the same as when Orochimaru's killing intent frightened Sasuke in the Forest of Death.
"Die? Or hand over Darkrai?"
Satch, with a Liepard following him, licked his lips and threatened with a sneer.
I have to say that his action, coupled with his non-male or female eunuch voice, really has the taste of Orochimaru.
And Dakuto, who felt the killing intent from the other party, only had one thought in his mind - she will really kill me!
Sweat the size of soybeans kept falling from Dakuto's forehead.
At this moment, his spirit was on the verge of limit, just like Sasuke who was frightened by Orochimaru during the Chunin Exam, trembling and took out Darkrai's Poké Ball from his arms.
And Darkrai in the ball is just like Narudo who witnessed Sasuke handing the scroll to Orochimaru.
His heart is full of disappointment in the other party.
It's just that Darkrai won't give Dakuto a slap in the face like Narudo.
The smile on Satch's face became more and more presumptuous.
Very good, although the relationship between the two has already sown a crack.
Next, he only needs to constantly expand this crack.
"Sure enough, you are trash."
Rika walked up and said coldly.
"Miss Rika uses the Dark type, right? Why not give this Darkrai to you?"
I don't know if he was telling the truth or joking, Satch shook the Darkrai Poké Ball in his hand in front of Rika.
"No need, since you snatched it, it's yours."
Rika said lightly.
As a Dark type expert, it is definitely false to say that Rika has no desire for Darkrai.
But Rika remembered a sentence Sumomo once said, whoever's credit is theirs, the act of stealing credit is disgusting.
Watching the backs of the two leaving without looking back, until they completely disappeared.
Dakuto swallowed a mouthful of saliva, barely suppressed the fear in his heart, trembled and took out his phone, and sent a message in a group:
[Help me, everyone in the League]
The camera zooms in, and you can see the group name - "Loving League People"
Soon someone responded:
Group leader · League Family: [Child, what's wrong?]
Group member · Loves Icirrus Ice Cream: [Why did you leave without saying goodbye at the Battle Chateau before? Caitlin also said she wanted to have another match with you]
Group member · Selling Stones Looking for Deven: [Dad insisted that I be the champion of the Hoenn League, but I want to go to Kalos as soon as possible, I heard that many new varieties of stones have been discovered there]
Group member · Little Lisa Doesn't Fight: [What happened? I'm watching this year's Galar All-Star Game, I really want to let Leon's Charizard endorse our Charizard Valley]
Group member · Drake Cousin is not a Dodo: [Kiko, are you watching too? By the way, the camera always turns to Dr. Sumomo, huh? Dr. Sumomo's behavior is a bit strange]
……
……
Several hours later, Kinsetsu City, northwest of the southern island.
This is the closest city to the southern island.
"Next, is Miss Rika going back to Galar? Then I will go back to Kanto to report to Mr. Sakaki first."
Satch said to Rika in the waiting hall of Kinsetsu Airport.
"Well, at least before Sumomo's birthday..."
Before Rika could finish speaking, the flight attendant's notice suddenly came from the broadcast:
"Attention passengers, attention passengers, due to weather reasons, all flights in this city will be suspended from today, repeat, all flights in this city will be suspended from today..."
Satch looked at the night sky, which was very calm even though it was already dark, and frowned, "All flights are suspended? This is too strange, right?"
Rika squinted her eyes, put on her hood to cover the upper half of her face and quickly walked out of the airport.
For some reason, she had an ominous premonition, let's go quickly.
Since they couldn't take a plane from Slateport City, they had to take a detour to Mauville City, another large city to the north, to escape.
However, after Lihua spent some effort and called a cab with Saki to the north of Slateport City, preparing to take Route 111 to Mauville City.
They found that in the middle of the night, a large number of guards, led by Officer Jenny, were using Growlithe, Granbull, and other dog-like Pokémon to check cars one by one at the city's bypass highway entrance.
"What's going on? Such a strict inspection!?"
Even the driver couldn't help but complain.
Lihua and Saki, sitting in the back seat, frowned.
Were they discovered!?
Saki analyzed in a low voice: "Slateport City is the closest city to that isolated island. It's indeed possible to guess that we would come here after leaving the island, but… does that coward have so much power to blockade a city in the middle of the night?"
Lihua frowned.
She herself was considered a second-generation rich, but being able to blockade a city for personal gain was unimaginable for a small-time rich like her.
Unless it was someone of the level of Steven Stone, there might be a possibility.
"It might not necessarily be for us. Maybe Team Magma or Team Aqua is causing trouble."
Saki speculated.
In recent years, two organizations called Team Magma and Team Aqua have emerged in the Hoenn region.
Their overall strength is far inferior to Team Rocket in Kanto and Team Rocket in Johto.
But the emergence of two at once is quite a headache for the Hoenn League.
At this time, the two cars in front of the checkpoint were inspected, and the car Lihua and Saki were in moved forward a bit.
They discovered that the Officer Jennys were checking the passengers' belongings, especially Poké Balls.
The two's expressions changed slightly, and they got out of the car and walked in the opposite direction at the same time.
"Huh? You two…"
The driver was stunned, and when he reacted and wanted to call out, the two had already walked away.
"Captain, over there."
At this time, a sharp-eyed police officer at the checkpoint noticed the movement not far away.
Officer Jenny Captain looked up and happened to see two figures getting out of a car and walking in the opposite direction.
"Stop!"
The Officer Jenny Captain of Slateport City Police Station shouted and led many officers to catch up.
"Honchkrow!"
"Starmie!"
Hearing the movement behind them, Lihua and Saki no longer hesitated, took out their respective "flying vehicles", and jumped off the overpass.
"Winona! Winona! Suspects found! Suspects found!"
Seeing this, Officer Jenny Captain quickly took out the walkie-talkie.
...
At the same time, the western waterway of Slateport City.
Multiple elite trainers of the Hoenn League, led by Wallace, the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City, were blocking the pier.
To prevent suspects from escaping by boat.
Sitting here with Wallace, Sidney, one of the current Hoenn Elite Four, yawned and rubbed his eyes, saying: "Calling so many of us here just to help a young master find his toys, right?"
Wallace, whose features were slightly androgynous and felt comparable to Grusha from Paldea, frowned and said:
"Sidney, don't say such things randomly. He's still the grandson of the chairman."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Sidney responded perfunctorily.
Damn, I hate these young masters with backgrounds the most.
At this time, Wallace's phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was from his girlfriend, Winona.
"Wallace! Target found!"
Winona, guarding the road to the south of the city, reported to her boyfriend while sending her Altaria up.
And guarding here with Winona was none other than Darkrai!
Looking at so many experts summoned by the Hoenn League.
Darkrai showed a smile of revenge.
You're good at fighting? What's the use of being good at fighting?
To get ahead, you need power, you need a background. Which gang are you from?
Darkrai being the grandson of Damaracchi is a fan-made setting by an author I know. Although it's a fan-made setting, I think it's a very interesting and relatively reasonable setting.
Because otherwise, it's difficult to explain why someone with two level 2 legendary Pokémon can't even get past the first round of the Elite Four Challenge. It can only be said that he relies on his background (according to the original anime setting, someone who wins the Lily of the Valley Conference is qualified to challenge the Elite Four. As long as they win, they can replace them. Afterwards, the Sinnoh League Elite Four members didn't change, indicating that Darkrai didn't beat any of them. Of course, a more reasonable explanation is that the screenwriter just created such a character specifically to snipe Ash, so that Ash would lose the championship and he wouldn't need to appear again).
