He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4377 Darkrai: I am the Nightmare of Horror!!

“Dark.”

Darkrai responded with a low voice, then nodded.

Its expression was cold, and it was surrounded by black mist, making it look extremely oppressive.

Xiao Jian had already explained the situation to it, and helping to guide a junior trainer who liked Dark-type trainers was something it didn't find objectionable.

Darkrai then turned its head to look at Ash, blinking as a greeting.

Ash was somewhat surprised that Darkrai had been summoned.

But thinking about it, it makes sense—

Back in the Alola region, we recruited Cresselia, the Dream Goddess, as a helper.

It makes sense to bring in the Nightmare God this time.

Mary then nervously and excitedly led Darkrai to an open space on the other side, asking him questions impatiently along the way:

"I heard that you once gave a little girl endless nightmares, um, that one."

"Can I try it tonight too?"

Darkrai: "?"

Watching the two walk away, Hop looked at Ash again, his eyes filled with anticipation:

"Then Ash, what about mine! Is it also some kind of legendary or mythical Pokémon?!"

Ash couldn't help but smile, walked over, and patted Hop on the shoulder.

"No, my friend. I've found you a more suitable senior."

Even divine beasts and mythical beasts might not be able to withstand Hop's boundless energy.

In that case, let's find someone with more energy!

boom!

Ash throws out his second Poké Ball, and a red light falls.

This time, a gray-white monkey that is nearly two meters tall made its appearance.

Its fur was fluffy and messy, with white hair on its head and back standing up high, like a head of punk hair.

His eyes were red, veins bulged on his forehead, and an aura of suppressed resentment permeated his entire being.

Even though it was broad daylight, the air seemed to instantly turn several degrees colder.

Naturally, he's the top instructor in the backyard, the abandoned monkey!

"Is this... a Fireball?"

Hep paused for a moment, his expression strange.

Why is it a little different from the fiery monkey he remembers?

When the abandoned monkey appeared, it first raised its hand to greet Ash.

"Stop drinking!"

Ash smiled and waved.

"Long time no see, Abandoned Monkey~!"

Then, the abandoned monkey slowly turned its head and carefully looked Hop up and down.

So this is the kid looking for a fight, right?

Perfect timing, its fists have been itching to come out lately!

After all, the Pokémon in Professor Oak's backyard are basically all fully formed.

Its greatest strength lies in taking a Pokémon that has reached 50 points and training it to 80 points through constant beatings and tempering.

The problem is, even the pretty plants in the backyard, like the pink Butterfly, are now at a 75-point level, ready to fight at any time.

Not to mention the other Pokémon.

Its extreme tempering effect is actually not that great anymore.

I was just worried about not finding a new punching bag... no, a new successor!

".?!"

At the same time, Hep suddenly felt as if he was being locked onto by something.

Even though it's the middle of summer, I felt a sudden chill down my spine.

He subconsciously swallowed, his face tensing, looking like a Fighting-type Pokémon.

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

Ash had one hand on Abandoned's shoulder. Was that a shoulder or a head?

"In short, Hop is in your hands, Forsaken Monkey."

"We should strive to help him reach a new level of strength within these ten days."

"Stop drinking!!"

The Forsaken Monkey shouted in agreement, then walked towards the gate, beckoning Hop to follow. Hop immediately perked up and chased after him, even earnestly saying:

"Please train me with all your might, Senior Abandoned Monkey!!"

Although this senior looked eerie, like a Pokémon that crawled out of a grave.

But he could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from the Abandoned Monkey!

Keep in mind that Hop's goal is to defeat his older brother, Dender.

Even though Hop is very confident now, he knows very well that he is 100% incapable of doing it.

Then we need to train even harder!

The abandoned monkey noticed Hep's expression and nodded secretly.

That's good, at least they have the attitude. Let's see how well they actually perform.

Upon arriving outside the castle, the abandoned monkey first surveyed its surroundings.

It's even more open and spacious than the back mountain of Zhenxin Town; it's a nice place.

Hop quickly released all his Pokémon, and the six Pokémon stood in a row.

"Stop drinking!"

The abandoned monkey immediately waved its hand and pointed forward.

In short, let's run it for ten kilometers first and see how it performs!

However, for now, Forsaken is the "newcomer," and Hop's Pokémon are eyeing this newly arrived instructor, not really following his orders.

"Boom!"

The Thunder King Kong even clenched his fists and stepped forward, giving a rough, cold laugh, ready to test the instructor's skills first.

then

Half a minute later.

Hop ran at the very back, with his Pokémon lined up in front and behind him, and they began a long run across the wilderness.

The abandoned monkey followed on the side, running and observing the group's situation.

Meanwhile, the gorilla at the back of the line was also obediently running alongside, and two clear bruises could be seen around its eyes.

After running a few steps, she would raise her hand to wipe away the blood flowing from her nose.

Hep: "."

Running behind the Thunder King Kong, he was filled with doubt and horror.

His ace weapon, the Thunder King Kong, was just instantly defeated?!

Before Hop could even see anything clearly, the Thunder King Kong had already been knocked to the ground!

Ash stood at the castle gate, hands on his hips, helplessly watching the procession gradually disappear into the distance.

"Heh. This guy is still as violent as ever."

That's right. If you want to establish the instructors' authority, beating up the ringleaders is the quickest way.

The Thunder King Kong who was defiant just now is now running away obediently!

"Things should be fine here," Ash thought, turning his head to look at Mary.

However, the situation on the other side is quite the opposite—

At this moment, all of Marie's Dark-type Pokémon were surrounding Darkrai.

Cool Leopard crouched at the front, its tail swaying, while the bandana-wearing thug held the shed skin with both hands, revealing an expectant expression.

Bald Eagle, General Servant, and Iron Claw Lobster all have similar expressions.

Of course, Mary herself felt the same way; her anticipation was practically radiating from her eyes.

Darkrai: "."

He's here to be an instructor, not an idol to hold a concert!

For trainers who specialize in a particular type, the status of legendary and mythical Pokémon of that type can easily surpass that of idols and celebrities.

Darkrai had no choice but to put on a stern face, and black mist slowly spread around him.

The chilling aura spread out, making its already eerie appearance even more terrifying.

then

Another burst of excited cheers erupted around them, as if their idol had performed a somersault.

Darkrai: "."

It turned its head and looked at Xiao Zhi in the distance with a rare plea for help.

In the past, both humans and Pokémon would look at it with fear.

It is the most terrifying nightmare for all living things!

How can he still have fans?! (End of Chapter)
