I might as well have studied with Mew and Mewtwo... Forget it, those two are even less likely to have time to teach Glutton.
As for Celebi, Little Hoopa would be a better choice.
Fang Yuan thought about it and concluded it was a decent wish, so he decided to let the two Gluttons mess around together.
After all, Perfect Hoopa is at least at the top legendary level, not weaker than World Tree Dreams, Mew, or Mewtwo.
Glutton's wish, to apprentice under Hoopa, wish granted!
......
After Glutton had finished, it immediately offered up Energy Blocks as a tribute to Little Hoopa and then rubbed its hands together, eagerly anticipating the future where it would master Hoopa's skills.
Being a summoner was quite awesome too, imagine traveling around and summoning Monferno from halfway across the planet to fight for you, and then sending it back after the fight. Wouldn't that be great?
Or, if facing an opponent like Monferno, using a cunning trick to teleport it into the sky above the Pacific Ocean during battle. If you can't beat them, you can still avoid them, right?
The more Glutton thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed. This way, even if it wasn't number one in combat power, it would surely never lose a fight!
"Bwoo..." "Uh..." "Magnemite..." The three main fighters, watching Gengar reveal a sly grin, knew it was definitely plotting something bad...
"Alright. Now it's your turn, Darkrai."
"What is your wish?"
Fang Yuan, Kira Pray, and Hoopa looked towards Darkrai, the silent and reserved one... What could its wish be?
After a long while, Darkrai remained silent.
Fang Yuan: "..."
Well, aren't you going to say anything?
Could it be some kind of wish that's hard to say out loud?
Fang Yuan decided to give a push, "How about I take you to the Dream God?"
[I don't have that thought.]Darkrai quickly stated clearly.
The Pokémon looked at it strangely.
"Which thought?" Fang Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"..." Darkrai.
Darkrai recalled its first encounter with the Dream God at the Fang Yuan Institute. Under Luo Kuo's guidance, it had used Nightmare Power to create a Main God Space for the Fossil Spirits to experience endless nightmares as a form of training in mental and "Soul" Power.
However, the Dream God passing by mistakenly thought it was tormenting the ordinary elves with nightmares, and the two Dream Gods clashed head-on.
At the time, Darkrai was just an Ordinary Guardian God, while the Dream God already had the strength of a near-legendary level.
Naturally, Darkrai was no match and was beaten mercilessly. Fortunately, World Tree Dreams arrived in time to help Darkrai out of the predicament, and the misunderstanding was cleared up.
After the misunderstanding between the two Dream Gods was resolved, Darkrai didn't blame the Dream God. Instead, it saw the Dream God's actions of traveling the world to dispel nightmares created by uncontrollable Darkrais as noble, mainly because it, too, had once caused destruction due to an inability to control its power. If it weren't for Fang Yuan showing up, it would still be afraid to leave Nightmare Island. In Darkrai's eyes, a Pokémon like the Dream God who wandered the world helping others was quite admirable and worthy of respect.
Compared to that, it realized that after gaining Nightmare Power, it lacked ambition.
Afterward, to express its apology, the Dream God gave Darkrai a Crescent Feather and then left the Fang Yuan Institute. As it watched the Dream God depart, Darkrai admired the Dream God from the bottom of its heart. It understood, however, that the Dream God had encountered many Nightmare Gods and it was just a very ordinary one, unlikely to leave a lasting impression. It was this occasion that spurred Darkrai to want to become stronger, volunteering to be tamed by Fang Yuan for training.
Darkrai had thought it over carefully and realized it didn't really have any strong wishes. If it had to name one, it was one of the reasons it joined the team: to catch up with that Dream God.
Then, travel the world with it for a while, helping it resolve some difficulties it couldn't handle on its own. Not only to prove itself, but also as atonement for the mistakes it made when it couldn't control nightmares... It wished to become the strongest Nightmare God, and then team up with the Dream God to help others like the Darkrai who couldn't control their own powers (Dragonite, Venusaur: You just have a craving for the Dream God's body).
Near-legendary level... Legendary level...
It was still a bit short.
[Then, I want to become stronger.]
[I wish to become the strongest Darkrai.]
Darkrai said to Fang Yuan.
"Even if you hadn't wished for it, I've been training you towards that goal all along..."
This wish was actually quite difficult to fulfill. The strongest Darkrai would at least be at the legendary level, and even Kira Pray would find it challenging to make a reality, as seen by the antics of the demon of the earth... but for Fang Yuan, it was something that was going to be done sooner or later.
Fang Yuan looked into Darkrai's eyes and nodded, "I understand. I'll fulfill this wish for you. Give me some time to prepare, and once we return to the Pokémon World, I will take you to challenge different Darkrais to help you on your path to becoming the strongest."
"One year's time, to enter the Legendary Realm. However, you must also give it your all..."
No need to mention Tobias' Nightmare God, including the Nightmare God of New Moon Island and the one from Alamos Town that could confront the Temporal and Spatial dragons. They all needed to be challenged... Becoming the strongest Darkrai certainly wouldn't be easy. And speaking of the Temporal and Spatial dragons, some Dragon Scales might also have to be snatched! After all, Darkrai was capable of mastering both Roar of Time and Aerial Ace!
