He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4380 The Opportunity for the Evolution of the Armored Dragon!

“Dark.”

However, Darkrai shook his head.

It has seen modern Mega Salamence and knows the difference.

It is unknown how many years ago it saw the "Flying Dragon" over Crescent Island. Its wings were shaped like those of a bird, and the outline of its feathers could be seen.

Unlike Mega Salamence, which has smooth, hard-armored wings that are one continuous piece.

"feather?"

Xiao Zhi's eyes widened. Wasn't this a coincidence?

Although the differences between the ankylosaurs are not very noticeable now.

But he clearly remembered that before it evolved into a baby dragon, this guy had some strange feathers growing on the back of its hands!

Darkrai continued reminiscing—

At that time, the "Salamander" seemed to want to take over its Crescent Island and even fought with it.

Its fighting style is less like that of a domineering dragon and more like...

A ferocious beast?

Its movements were quite wild and fierce, which left a deep impression on it.

The more Xiao Zhi listened, the more he felt that everything made sense.

These ancient Pokémon are all more ferocious and fierce than their modern counterparts, exuding a wild and primal beastly aura.

For example, the three ancient beasts of Johto that he had seen before had all turned into dinosaurs, from wolves, lions, and tigers!

And in the Unova region, at Mr. Adeker's grandson's place, we saw the Ancient Species Volcarona—

It has even transformed into a Volcano with melee combat attributes!

"And then? Did you win? What happened to that Salamence in the end?"

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but ask further.

The armored dragon next to it also widened its eyes, full of anticipation.

At this point, Darkrai suddenly raised his ghostly claw and scratched his head awkwardly:

“Dark.”

After all, it was still a young thing back then.

Neither its signature move, Dark Hole, nor its signature ability, Nightmare, is used very skillfully.

As a result, he was completely dominated by that Salamence throughout the entire fight.

Although it was only a special pseudo-legendary, Darkrai estimated that it was no weaker than a normal legendary Pokémon.

Especially once that evil dragon gets close, there's no way to switch hands.

Xiao Zhi nodded, agreeing with this viewpoint.

For example, his Tortoise is a future species, Volcarona, which is the opposite of the Ancient species. Its qualities in all aspects are definitely not inferior to those of legendary Pokémon.

The Mr. Mime continued translating:

"Darkrai fought it until dawn, and the Salamence stopped attacking after the sun came up."

"Finally, they changed direction and rushed towards the direction where the moon was falling."

Looks like they're going to chase the moon?

After that, Darkrai never encountered this special Salamence again.

After listening to the story, Xiao Zhi lowered his head, touched his chin, and frowned.

This only lets me know that such Pokémon do exist, but I still don't know how to evolve them.

In fact, he had previously searched online for "special-looking Salamence".

However, most of these people are unfamiliar with Mega Evolution and simply treat Mega Salamence as a special individual, making a big fuss about it online.

I didn't see anything special.

Seeing its junior of the same attribute looking disappointed, Darkrai floated over, raised its ghostly claw, and patted its shell to comfort it.

“Dark!”

Although it has little recollection of other aspects.

But one thing is certain: that Salamence seemed to have a particular fondness for the moon, or moonlight.

If the Armored Dragon wants to evolve, this could be an opportunity for it to do so.

"The moon?" Several Pokémon flashed through Ash's mind in an instant—

Lunala, Cresselia, Umbreon, Clefairy.

"So, will the Moonstone work? Or the Crescent Feather?"

"Or is it Lunayara's exclusive Z-Crystal?"

Xiao Zhi quickly came up with several answers.

He already had the first two items. Before he could even speak, Mr. Mime understood and teleported back into the castle to retrieve them.

As for Lunala's exclusive Z-Crystal, only his Alola friends possess it.

He currently only has the Apollo's exclusive Z.

Soon, Mr. Mime teleported back, now holding two evolution stones, one dark green and one dark purple.

It also brought a Dark Stone. The two stones have similar properties and are both related to night and evil.

They had accumulated quite a few miscellaneous evolution stones while mining.

As for Crescent Feather, it's still at home in Pallet Town.

I'll have to ask Jian to find a Pokémon to carry me over and then teleport me here.

"Let's give it a try."

Ash held up both rocks at the same time and placed them in front of the Shellder.

After looking around, the latter ignored the Dark Stone and suddenly swallowed the Moon Stone.

This action made Ash's eyes light up; it seemed he liked the Moon Stone!

That makes things much easier!

However, it's still uncertain whether they consumed the Moon Stone or were carrying it with them.

Many Pokémon carry items by swallowing them.

"Bari~"

Mr. Mime diligently recorded everything so that the next time he saw Uncle Pierre, he could replace a few more Moon Stones with the extra Evolution Stones.

Ash nodded. At night, they could let the Shellder live at the top of the Watchtower so it could bask in the moonlight at the highest point.

That should also speed things up, right?

Next, the ankylosaurus rallied its spirits and went off to train nearby.

Knowing his own future, he possessed such formidable power that he could even suppress Darkrai.

Now it is full of confidence and the future is promising!

Only Ash and Darkrai remained in the same spot.

Seeing Darkrai suddenly seem hesitant to speak, Ash was a little surprised, and smiled to the side:

"What's wrong? Is something important?"

Darkrai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

This time, we don't need the Mr. Mime translation.

Darkrai's expression darkened, and the black mist around him seemed to momentarily stop drifting.

Although he didn't speak, a deep and sinister male voice suddenly echoed in Xiaozhi's mind.

Telepathy!

As a Mythical Pokémon, this is considered a universal ability.

I'm not very proficient with Darkrai yet, mainly because I don't have a speaking partner.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend's Cresselia is a legendary Pokémon, not a mythical one, and telepathy is still too difficult for a level 2 legendary Pokémon.

"I plan to go to the Carlos region after I finish the special training for you guys in the next few days."

Upon hearing the telepathic connection, Xiao Zhi was stunned.

Carlos region?

He glanced at Darkrai instinctively, thinking the latter was unfamiliar with telepathy and had misspoke.

However, Darkrai shook his head and continued:

"These past few days I've had a feeling that something important I need is somewhere in this direction."

"After I asked that old human man in the backyard to check the map for me, the answer came out: it's the Carlos region!" (End of Chapter)
