The Road to the Master of the Elves

Chapter 180 Nightmare Comes
Late at night before departure, Xia Dong had a private chat with Li Yitong.

Xia Dong's current mood is actually a bit complicated. He still remembers that he gave Li Yitong and Lin Yang a feather each during the Chinese New Year.What was given to Li Yitong was the Lunar Eclipse Feather, which he got by accident when he came to explore the Nightmare Forest.What was given to Lin Yang was the colorful feather, his prize after winning the championship.

Xia Dongyuan thought that Li Yitong didn't know much about Lunar Eclipse Feather, so it was okay to give him this gift in advance. At that time, he also ignored the existence of Dr. Smith.

Li Yitong contacted Dr. Smith in private, and learned from him the meaning and function of the existence of Lunar Eclipse Feather.Xia Dong and Li Yu actually didn't intend to come to the Nightmare Forest this time, but Li Yitong found them and sincerely begged them to take them to the Nightmare Forest. Even if the two elders didn't take him there, he would find a way go alone.The second elder really couldn't resist, so he could only agree.On the bright side, it seems that it is a matter of course for the four of them to come to the Nightmare Forest, and only the second elder and Li Yitong know the truth.Even Qi Qi didn't know, after all, he just obeyed the teacher's order and arranged for his little junior to come to the Nightmare Forest together.

"Have you really thought it through?" Xia Dong asked worriedly.

Li Yitong nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Mr. Xia. Please believe that this is my decision after careful consideration."

Xia Dong sighed, and said, "But so what if you can see him? With your current strength, you don't have the capital to impress him and let him leave with you. Why rush at this moment?"

"I know. I didn't want to take Darkley away, but there is one thing. I need to find a truth in the dream. Through his nightmare." Li Yitong said firmly.

"Cresselia can't do it? I can't even imagine the consequences of actively attracting nightmares." Xia Dong still said a little uneasy, "And... if the other two Pokémon's attention is drawn, there will be No small trouble."

Li Yitong was silent for a moment, and after a while, he said: "There are already many beautiful dreams in this world. The more beautiful the dream, the more likely it is contrary to the truth. Besides, I have long been used to nightmares."

Facing Li Yitong's insistence, Xia Dong sighed. "I understand. After entering the Nightmare Forest tomorrow, I will find an excuse to take you directly to the Moon Shadow Forest, and ask Lao Li to take the three of them to the Sunshine Forest." Xia Dong said.

Li Yitong's eyes turned hot, he bowed solemnly, and said, "Old Xia, thank you."

"Harm." Xia Dong waved his hand and said, "My family doesn't say thank you. I have taught countless students in my life, and you are my closed disciples. If you can help, I will definitely help." Li Yitong nodded emphatically, Thank you beyond words.

……

The next day, after going through multiple security checks, the second elder took Lin Yang and the others through the last door, and finally arrived at the periphery of the Nightmare Forest.

"Huh, why is the security check here so strict? It wasn't like this when we entered Daxinganling, right?" Lin Yang said.

"It should be because of the competition." Yang Shu guessed.

"No." Li Yitong said, "A long time ago, when the reserve had been established, there was a riot among the Pokémon in the forest. Although it was suppressed in the end, the inspection into the Nightmare Forest has become even more difficult since then. Strict. It seems that someone stole an elf egg of an Overlord Pokémon in the forest."

"Second brother, you really know everything." Lin Yang's adoring expression made Li Yitong feel uncomfortable.

As soon as the group entered the forest, Xia Dong and Li Yitong matched each other, and then said: "The Nightmare Forest is divided into the Moon Shadow Forest and the Sunshine Forest. I will take Xiao Li to the Moon Shadow Forest in a while, and the three of you will follow Lao Li." Go to the Sunshine Forest."

"Ah? Aren't we together?" Lin Yang asked.

"Moon Shadow Forest is more suitable for the training of Pokémon with evil attributes, and it is more suitable for Li Yiyi. We have limited time to come in this time, so we can't waste it." Xia Dong said with a serious face.

It has to be said that the three of Lin Yang are quite easy to fool, and Xia Dong's casual nonsense can be believed.Li Yu on the side blushed from a suppressed smile, thinking to himself that these unlucky children, if they go on a trip by themselves in the future, wouldn't they be sold and count the money for others?

As soon as he said he would leave, Xia Dong led Li Yitong and Li Yu to go against the road, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared in the depths of the dark forest.

Xia Dong and Li Yitong were walking in the Moon Shadow Forest. Many Pokémon were hiding in the dark and watching them. Xia Dong didn't care, and led Li Yitong towards the central altar of the Moon Shadow Forest.

"Old Xia, do you know which area Darkley lives in?" Li Yitong asked.

Xia Dong nodded, and said: "The Eclipse Feather was obtained at the edge of the Moon Shadow Forest, he should live near there. I have never seen his body, to be exact, no one has seen him so far But don't worry, I will always be with you until we leave the Nightmare Forest."

"Thank you." Then Li Yitong and Xia Dong stopped talking in a tacit understanding, and the two walked forward steadily holding the flashlight.

When passing the altar of the Moon Shadow Forest, Xia Dong asked Li Yitong to follow him to worship in the direction of the altar, and then walked past the altar and headed to the edge of the Moon Shadow Forest.

"Old Xia, is there a beast Pokémon living in the altar?" Li Yitong asked softly.

"Yes. The Moon Shadow Forest is inhabited by Lunala, who is called Luna. The Sunshine Forest is inhabited by Solgaleo, who is called the Sun God. This is also what causes the Nightmare Forest to appear half day and half night. The reason." Xia Dong said patiently, "They didn't live here before. This forest was originally only Darkrai, and he attracted Cresselia here."

"Then what about Sun Moon God?" Li Yitong asked.

"They didn't belong to this space." Xia Dong paused and continued, "I'll tell you about this later."

Li Yitong nodded and stopped asking.

The two walked for a long time, Xia Dong looked at the time, they had been walking for a whole morning.He and Li Yitong sat on the ground and took out the prepared things from their backpacks. "Similarities and differences." Xia Dong broke the silence between the two, "Did you search for evil-type Pokémon because you wanted to replace your father?"

Hearing this question, Li Yitong's hand was obviously taken aback. After a long time, he nodded and said: "Yes. But... maybe not all of it. Maybe it has something to do with the environment in which I grew up. Darkness is very warm to me. Very safe."

Xia Dong was silent for a long time, and said: "It's hard for you, my child. Let's rest for a while, it's still early, don't be in a hurry."

Li Yitong hesitated to speak, but finally he nodded, leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest.Gradually, Li Yitong's consciousness became a little blurred, and he fell into a deep sleep.

He had a dream.He woke up in a dream, surrounded by boundless darkness, he curled up instinctively, but the darkness gradually eroded his body, starting from his feet and going up.Li Yitong wanted to struggle, but he suddenly had a thought, maybe it would be good to disappear like this...

Just as Li Yitong's consciousness sank into the darkness little by little, a light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was a picture that he was very familiar with and somewhat resisted - what appeared in front of Li Yitong was his childhood. He crouched in the corner of the room holding a photo, crying helplessly.
