Chapter 482 - Leaving the Island
The next day.
Terrance woke up feeling refreshed.
Thanks to the assistance of the ditation thod, he could maintain good sleep quality even in the wild, unaffected by external environntal factors.
At this mont, Mismagius had already completed a round around Nightmare Island and returned.
Listening to Mismagius's detailed report, Terrance shared his thoughts with it.
"Mis~magius~"
Mismagius shook its head. Although the environnt of Nightmare Island was excellent, it did not want to leave Terrance.
"It's not like you'll be staying here forever." Terrance smiled. "I'll co to see you every now and then. Once you've completely absorbed all the fear energy here, it will be highly beneficial for you."
"Mis~magius~"
Mismagius nodded. With its calm nature, it naturally understood the pros and cons of this situation.
After only a brief mont of hesitation, Mismagius made its decision. In reality, Terrance's proposal would benefit Mismagius the most.
Perhaps in just six months, Mismagius could reach an impressive level of growth, saving itself years of effort.
"I wonder if you still rember—when I took you from that ranch, my promise was to bring you to a place with more fear emotions..." Terrance recalled how Misdreavus used to scare Mareep at the ranch every day, smiling at the mory. Back then, he had even been tricked by Mismagius's illusion skill.
Terrance's original promise was a "haunted house." However, now that Misdreavus had grown into Mismagius, a haunted house could no longer provide much benefit for its developnt.
"Mis~magius~" Mismagius, of course, rembered.
"This place wasn't sothing I planned in advance, but since it contains such a vast amount of fear emotions, staying here for a while is a great opportunity for you. Only by growing stronger can you better assist , don't you think?"
"Besides, don't assu that staying here ans you'll be enjoying yourself. I'll be leaving you with extrely strict training tasks. When I return to pick you up, if you haven't completed them, you'll receive so very severe punishnts!" Terrance said seriously.
Although Mismagius knew that Terrance was probably bluffing, for the sake of his dignity... it still instinctively nodded, acting as a very attentive listener.
"Very good." Terrance nodded in satisfaction.
...
...
After making all the necessary preparations, Albus, Terrance, and Fujiki found a relatively spacious area.
Compared to the cave's interior, this place was much flatter. If their previous battle had taken place here, the combined strength of ga Altaria and Lucario could have increased by twenty percent.
"As for ga Evolution... there's no need to rush."
"I'll release Darkrai first," Albus said.
Terrance nodded. ga Evolution didn't require much preparation ti, and with Lucario providing cover, Altaria and he could complete the process quickly.
Albus hesitated for a mont as he took out the Poké Ball containing Darkrai. Then, taking a deep breath, he pressed the release button.
A white light flashed, and a figure instantly sprang to where the Poké Ball was pointing, and Darkrai's shadowy black body once again appeared before Terrance and the others.
The mist-like, constantly shifting white "hair" still covered most of its face. From the only visible pair of eyes... Terrance and Albus could imdiately tell Darkrai's condition.
It seed unchanged.
Even after being captured and given a full day to recover, Darkrai showed no signs of improvent.
Terrance's expression remained unchanged, but inside, waves of shock surged through his mind. Darkrai's current state was undoubtedly a lingering aftereffect caused by that device.
This condition... was eerily similar to a disorder he knew of.
Vegetative state!
Darkrai's current state was very much like a human in a vegetative state. While not entirely the sa, it seed incredibly difficult to treat...
"Albus..." Terrance murmured.
They had worked so hard to free Darkrai from the dream device's control, yet this was the result... Even Terrance didn't know what to say.
"It's still like this, huh."
Albus spoke calmly, as if he had already prepared for this outco.
"It's fine..."
Fujiki spoke up. "Do you have any other plans?"
"More or less. I plan to take Darkrai away from here and find so Pokémon doctors... Hmm, I'll also try asking Nurse Joy at a Pokémon Center to see if she has any solutions."
Terrance wanted to tell Albus that Nurse Joy alone probably wouldn't be able to help...
Even with his knowledge as an Interdiate Breeder—which included a fair amount of information about Pokémon illnesses—this kind of complex condition was definitely beyond the scope of what an Interdiate Breeder could handle.
"Maybe the dical equipnt at the Pokémon Center could have so effect..." That was the reason Terrance didn't say anything.
At the very least, when it ca to treating illnesses, Terrance wasn't as skilled as any Nurse Joy stationed at a Pokémon Center. And when combined with the advanced facilities of a Pokémon Center, he was even more outmatched.
Moreover, there were also Pokémon Professors. Darkrai's condition wasn't entirely without hope, as there are several experts who have advanced to the rank of Senior Breeder through their knowledge in fields such as dical treatnts. There are even Pokémon Professors among the Top Breeders at the master level.
Compared to Breeders, whose knowledge spanned many areas, Pokémon doctors specialized more deeply in dical treatnt.
Perhaps... one of them might be able to help Darkrai.
"Darkrai..." Albus let out a small sigh, while Fujiki stood behind him in silence.
"My Aura power still can't communicate with Darkrai." After a while, Albus gave up.
"Let's get ready—we're leaving."
Taking out the Poké Ball and recalling Darkrai, Albus said, "Next... we should return to Almia."
Terrance looked at the two of them. "What are you planning to do? Once you get to Almia, will you imdiately start looking for a way to treat Darkrai?"
"Yes." Albus nodded. "Once we arrive in Almia, we'll go our separate ways. In any case, thanks for everything, Terrance."
"There's no need to thank ..." Terrance shook his head. From the very beginning, this had been a transaction..... At the sa ti, he had also obtained the ga Evolution device.
"Are you two going together?"
Terrance glanced at Albus and Fujiki. Now that he thought about it, he still didn't know what their relationship was. Looking at them now, it didn't seem as simple as just being fellow test subjects of the Nightmare Island.
"I'm following him," Fujiki said.
"Yeah, she's coming with ." Albus grinned. If Fujiki didn't follow him, then when the ti ca, there wouldn't even be anyone left to collect his body. Dying with no one to send him off... now that would be too miserable.
