Chapter 2
It was already dark and the town's lights lit the sky so that only the brightest stars could be seen. Kita and I reached the Pokémon Center of Alamos Town where we wanted to meet Baron Alberto who had called the ranger. Since a certain happening in the past, the baron turned into a helpful and loyal man, who puts all his effort into the safety of the city.
"Welcome Ranger! We were waiting for your arrival. And you must be Miingno, nurse Joy from Jubilife City informed us that you'll come and help us out too. I might be a baron but please call me Alberto. Thank you two in advance that you took the long way just for helping us."
"Hello too, and no need to thank us, for me, it's just natural to help out wherever pokémon are in trouble" , greeted Kita the baron Alberto and his Lickilicky. I tried my best to make an appropriately adequate greeting myself but I was kinda nervous which Alberto noticed instantly.
"No need to worry my friend Miingno", he remarked and swiftly shifted to a serious tone, "let me explain the situation so far."
Alberto told us that Darkrai fell into slumber exactly one week ago. Firstly, all thought that Darkrai may just have been exhausted. It was always guarding the city with a lot of effort. But once it didn't wake up for two, three days, everyone became worried. And suddenly, there appeared these never seen pokémon. Alberto showed us a picture someone had made.
These pokémon appeared from time to time and put all the other pokémon and people around them into slumber just like Darkrai, but with the addition of having bad nightmares. However, they always woke up after a few hours.
But since two days, more and more pokémon which got too close to Darkrai also suddenly fell into slumber without the presence of these pink pokémon and also didn't wake up since. Luckily, they don't seem to suffer nightmares as the other do.
So far they believed, that there are two different types of pokémon causing this phenomena. The pink ones which make nightmares but only a few hours sleep, and a hidden one which doesn't cause bad dreams but long sleeps.
Kita said, the best thing right now would it be to capture one of the pink pokémon. Once he could capture one, it may be able to lead him to the hidden pokémon. He strongly assumes that these two types somehow work together on a common goal.
And as soon as he said that, there also was an alarm incoming to Alberto. A pink pokémon appeared on the main plaza and did already had sent a pokémon and a trainer into slumber.
