Pokémon picked up a Shiny Charmander at the beginning

“I see…” The corner of Yu Longyan’s mouth twitched slightly. Until now, he finally understood why he always felt that he had seen Takuto somewhere, because although Takuto did not have the iconic long hair or the iconic red coat, he had scolded the other person for that face countless times in his previous life!

"Takuto, Takuto, Dakoto!!!" Yu Longyan roared in his heart. This was the first time he felt speechless about the transliterated names of those anime characters in his previous life. (If you have nothing to do in the translation team, why don't you translate more names? Do you have to do transliteration?)

The air around them seemed to have frozen, leaving only the heavy breathing of Yulongyan and the faint sound of black mist surging around Darkrai.

Yu Longyan's eyes were fixed on Darkrai, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal. This reaction was completely beyond Takuto's expectations.

You know, there are records of Darkrai appearing in various regions, and the name of the God of Nightmares is enough to scare people even in the Kanto region.

But what about Yu Longyan?

Don’t even mention being scared. That look, that expression…it looks like he’s found a treasure!

This made Takuto a little confused, and he couldn't help but wonder: Doesn't this guy know how powerful Darkrai is? Or does he have some trump card?

You know, Takuto has hidden Darkrai until now just to give everyone a "surprise" at the last moment.

As a result, Takuto was somewhat caught off guard by what Yu Longyan did. Fortunately, the performance of other audience members did not surprise him. The entire audience seemed to be in an uproar, with noisy discussions buzzing like a boiling kettle.

"That's...Darkrai?!"

"No, it should be a shiny, skinny night demon!"

"Damn, do you believe what you said? Can a Pokémon like Nocturne be made so thin that it looks unrecognizable?"

"This is the Nightmare God?! Takuto is actually a divine beast trainer?"

"Contestant Yulongyan is in big trouble now!"

"That's not right. Look at the expression on contestant Yu Longyan's face. He doesn't seem... afraid at all?"

"Afraid? Look at him, does he look afraid? Why do I feel like he's... quite happy?"

"Happy? Why should I be happy? My opponent is Darkrai!"

"Who knows, maybe... he has a way to deal with Darkrai?"

"Impossible? Darkrai is the God of Nightmares!"

The previous Zygarde was not well-known in the Kanto region, and there was no crisis that could cause 50% Zygarde to appear. Therefore, people did not know that Zygarde was also a legendary beast, and a legendary beast that was stronger than Darkrai. Naturally, it did not cause a similar sensation.

“Darkrai…” Yu Longyan took a deep breath. The black mist in the air didn’t seem to affect him at all. The smile on his face grew wider and wider, and he even laughed out loud uncontrollably.

"Hahahahaha! Good! Very good! Very good!"

This laughter seemed particularly abrupt amid the noisy discussions, yet it was filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation. Seeing this, the audience at the scene fell silent for no apparent reason and looked at Yu Longyan on the field.

While laughing, Yulong Yan reviewed his experiences over the years. Since he was reborn into this world, he became the second young master of the Yulong clan, the younger brother of Yulong Du, the lover of Shirona, and the disciple of Professor Oak.

Along the way, Yu Longyan can be said to have never been defeated, but although he has defeated countless opponents, Yu Longyan always feels that something is missing.

Now, he finally understood that what he lacked was an opponent! An opponent who could make him use his full strength!

And now, this opponent has appeared!

Since gaining the following of Giratina, Yulongyan has suddenly stood at the top of the alliance. Even a strong man like President Damalanchi is no longer his opponent.

To be honest, this feeling is a bit unreal. Yulongyan has always been very careful, trying to hide Giratina. He doesn't want people to think that he is so strong because of Giratina. He wants to look like an ordinary trainer.

But now, when he saw Takuto's Darkrai, he suddenly seemed to understand something. He remembered what Darkrai did in the anime, such as how one Darkrai broke through the eight major gyms in the Sinnoh region.

It can even be said that if Xiaozhi had not happened to participate in that Lily of the Valley Conference, Darkrai could have swept the Lily of the Valley Conference with just one Darkrai and won the championship trophy.

Although the audience has scolded Ren Diyu and the "Divine Beast Man" for many years because of the appearance of Dakodo, deep down in their hearts, how many people are actually envious of Dakodo's unscrupulous and extremely arrogant state?

So, Yu Longyan has realized it.

"Takuto, no, I should call you Dakoto!" Yu Longyan's eyes were like burning flames, and his body trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of excitement, an indescribable excitement, staring at Takuto, "You really didn't let me down!"

"Since you have great power, you should show it to the fullest!" Yulongyan's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of arrogance and unruliness, "This is the true meaning of Pokémon battles!"

The air around him seemed to become scorching because of Yu Longyan's words. The dragon power surging in his body was no longer suppressed. A powerful aura burst out from his body, making everyone present feel tremendous pressure.

"Xiao Yan, you've come so far, which really makes me happy. Now, let the world witness your true strength..." Yulongpo murmured in the audience.

There is a saying that no one knows a son better than his father. Yu Longpo may be the person who understands Yu Longyan's inner thoughts best. He doesn't know why his son, who has been smart since childhood, always wants to hide himself.

But he firmly believes that one day, Yulong Yan will awaken and shine to his fullest, and that day is today, today!

"Takuto, let me see how strong your Darkrai is!" Yu Longyan shouted loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the arena.

Then, Yu Longyan slowly took off the Master Ball from his waist, threw it into the air, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly:

"Next, I will let you see what true power is!"

"Come out, Giratina!"

As the Master Ball exploded in the air with a "click", a purple-black light flashed, covering the entire arena with a strange color. The black mist released by Darkrai quickly shrank back as if it had seen some natural enemy, hiding less than ten centimeters around Darkrai.
