LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 53: ch-53
**Sinnoh Region, Team Galactic Headquarters**
"If we can obtain the mythical Pokémon Darkrai, our new world plan could progress much faster," declared Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic.
"Indeed, Darkrai is one of the most powerful Pokémon in the Sinnoh Region. With its nightmare energy, we could easily harness the power of the Three Lake Guardians," added Team Galactic Executive Mars.
Team Galactic, the notorious villain organization of the Sinnoh Region, had one primary goal: to summon legendary Pokémon. Their targets were the Time Dragon, **Dialga**, and the Space Dragon, **Palkia**. By binding these Pokémon with red chains, they aimed to exploit their energy to create an "ideal world."
Cyrus, often perceived as a philanthropist, concealed his true intentions. Emotionless and calculating, he sought to destroy and rebuild the world, believing human hearts were inherently flawed. His ambition was to create a perfect new world, free of imperfections.
Cyrus's calm and logical demeanor earned the unwavering trust of Team Galactic's subordinates, who were unaware of the extent of his grandiose vision.

**Palace Gate Stadium Audience Seat**
"Darkrai is unbelievably strong," a spectator remarked.
"If even Denji can't defeat it, who else possibly could?"
"Maybe someone could train a Honchkrow with the Insomnia ability to counter Dark Void effectively," another suggested.
"But when Darkrai fought Lady Melissa, it used Ice Beam to defeat her Drifblim in a single move," someone countered.
"That's true. A Honchkrow wouldn't stand a chance in terms of speed."
"It seems hopeless. Unless an Elite Trainer or Champion faces Darkrai head-on, there's no chance of victory!"
The audience was mesmerized by the overwhelming power of Darkrai.

**The Battle Against Zapdos**
[The scene shifted to a stormy night with roaring winds, crackling lightning, and torrential rain.]
[Darkrai soared through the stormy sky, staring down a bird-like Pokémon with yellow feathers and sharp, spike-like wings.]
[The opposing Pokémon was **Zapdos**, a legendary Pokémon known for its command over lightning.]
Zapdos, the legendary bird of thunder, is said to dwell within dark thunderclouds. Its presence is marked by the sound of crackling electricity as it flaps its glowing wings. When Zapdos takes flight, storms rage, and lightning crashes down from the heavens.
**A Legendary Showdown**
[Zapdos unleashed its signature move, Thunderbolt, a dazzling golden strike aimed at Darkrai.]
[Darkrai retaliated calmly, conjuring a dark purple ring of energy: Dark Pulse.]
[The two attacks clashed violently, but despite the storm amplifying the power of electricity, Thunderbolt could not withstand the might of Dark Pulse. Zapdos was thrown back.]
---
**Audience Reactions**
"Zapdos... couldn't even match Darkrai?"
"Mythical Pokémon like Darkrai are on a completely different level!"
---
[Zapdos, recovering, roared furiously and charged forward, cloaked in lightning.]
[Darkrai's sharp blue eyes glinted as it conjured a sinister **Dark Void**.]
[The black hole enveloped Zapdos, causing it to grow drowsy and falter.]
[Darkrai followed up with a precise **Ice Beam**, freezing Zapdos's saffron wings and causing the legendary bird to plummet from the sky, incapacitated.]

**Elite Trainer Chat Group**
In a private chat group of Elite Trainers from various regions, the conversation buzzed with astonishment:
- **Sidney (Hoenn Region, Dark Type Elite):** "Seriously? Zapdos was defeated in seconds?"
- **Lucian (Sinnoh Region, Psychic Elite):** "Mythical Pokémon like Darkrai often have unique and overpowering abilities. Celebi, for instance, isn't a strong fighter but can travel through time."
- **Aaron (Sinnoh Region, Bug Type Elite):** "Darkrai's Nightmare Black Hole makes it nearly impossible for ordinary Pokémon to counter."
- **Bruno (Kanto Region, Fighting Elite):** "Even my Fighting-type Pokémon would struggle against its Dream Eater combo. It's unbeatable for trainers below Elite or Champion level."

**The Lily of the Valley Conference**
The predictions were accurate. When Darkrai entered the Sinnoh Region's prestigious **Lily of the Valley Conference**, it annihilated its opponents in the preliminaries.
[One trainer, who used Machamp, was nearly in tears after her Pokémon was defeated in seconds.]
"Who is this guy? How does he even have a mythical Pokémon?"
[Darkrai continued its streak, crushing every trainer in its path with overwhelming strength.]
