Dharmic Keys

The Dharmic Keys (Japanese: ダルマキー Dharma Keys) are a pair of key items located within the Xeno region that play a major role within Pokémon Aether, Nether, and Tether Versions. They are legendary artifacts created by both the ancient Pokémon Trainers of the region and the Legendary Pokémon Vinipatika in order to seal away (and potentially unlock) the consciousness of the two rogue Legendaries Savara and Naraka in order to prevent them from ever causing as much damage to the region as they did in the past. Following the clash of the three Legendary Pokémon, two new dimensions were created: the Desire World and the Formless World. Upon seeing these new realities take shape, the Pokémon Trainers of the time came up with an idea: to utilize them to their advantage, one for sealing the two keys away so that it would be incredibly hard to find them, and the other for their eventual use, that would also be incredibly difficult to pass through successfully. This decided, they cast the two Keys into the Desire World and utilized the Formless World as a final defense against those who would reawaken Savara and Naraka. Finally, they erased as much knowledge of the battle as they could, burying it so that no one would be able to discover this information. However, it was unearthed by the various professors, scientists, archeologists, and historians of Granthala City, and with that combined with the already passed down knowledge of Naraka and Savara despite the ancients best efforts, Team Samsara became aware of their existence, and now targets them as the only real way to accomplish their goal perfectly.

The two keys are referred to as the Aether Key (Japanese: エーテルキー Ēterukī), fashioned from Savara's wing and hooves as well as being the most beautiful of the keys, giving off "a pure and calming feeling, as if all one's worries had been wiped away", and the Nether Key (Japanese: ネサー キー Nesaakī), fashioned from Naraka's fang and claw, as well as being the uglier of the pair, described as giving off "a feeling of ancient rage, as if something was about to destroy everything it considered evil or impure". The two keys are located on opposite 'paths' in the Desire World.

They play a major role in ''Pokémon ANT. ''
