Dusk's Crown

Welcome to Dusk's Crown! Brought to you by (very obvious author). This is my first fanfic in the Pokemon genre and if you have read my other fanfic this will have a different flavor than that.

But either way I think it'll be a very fun experience and I am really excited to start this.

This pairing has been with me for a while and now it lives! Hahaha! It's a Serperior/Darkrai pairing. M/M, don't like, don't read.

I call this pairing DarkRoyaltyShipping. All Pokemon will be anthropomorphic also known as pokemorphs.

I own nothing but the credit for probably making DarkRoyaltyShipping, all else is Pokémon's.

So no more excuses, now we start!

Prologue

"I don't want this!" he yelled in my face. He was breathing heavily and looked like he was close to tears.

"Really?" I said putting a hand on my hip "Because I think you've proven me otherwise." my comment just seemed to get him angrier.

"I never asked for this!" he screamed in his deep voice, he started pacing around the dark clearing with his dark robe and flowing white hair following behind him "I don't want to be trapped like this!"

"What are you trapped in!" I yelled walking up to him. "I'm not forcing you to do anything!"

I stepped into the clearing and almost forgot to be mad. The moon was shining through the trees, lightning the forest with rays of silver that seemed to dance around him beautifully, making his tall well built frame look so . . . stop it!

He glared at me with glossy eyes, his hands shaking in either rage or extreme sadness. He sharply turned around and destroyed a tree with a Shadow Ball.

"Great, because that helps." I said sarcastically. He turned back around and looked like he was about to say something but stopped when his eyes locked with my red ones.

"I don't want to be stuck with a damn kid!" he said harshly, he turned around to face the moon.

His words hit me full on.

"Well at least now I know what you think of me." I said with clear hurt in my voice. I turned on my heel and started walking, I was ready to get out of that damn clearing.

I felt something gently grab the cloak on my back, of course I knew who it was but I didn't turn around. I wasn't giving him that.

"I'm sorry." he said softly. I was surprised, I'd never heard him say that to anyone. I felt him his arms wrap around me, I was in the process of complete shock and trying not to melt.

I felt him take a big breath. I gave a mental chuckle, he never was much of a talker.

"I-I don't want to hurt you." he said finally. I could hear the weight that he put into the words.

I turned around to face him and looked up to see those brilliant blue eyes of his.

"Don't worry." I said giving him a smile to try and calm him "I trust you."

His eyes narrowed and he shook his head.

"I'm not worried about you," his voice and eyes dropped,"its me."

I put my paw on his face and gently moved his head up.

"Why would you be afraid of hurting me?" I asked softly. He closed his eyes and let go of me. He took a small step back

"I'm the Nightmare Pokemon, I'm the reason why children fear the dark, why people are afraid to go to sleep. I cause pain, I cause suffering and fear." He took another step back "Not only in dreams."

"I don't want to hurt you because I," he cut himself off, he sighed and continued "I am a being from darkness, there's nothing you could see in me."

I closed the small distance between us and wrapped my arms around him. I looked into those blue eyes I loved, knowing fully well what I wanted.

"Beauty can come from darkness." I whispered in his ear.

"You could've done a better job tying me down." a Serperior said to his three captors.

In middle of the forest the Serperior was tied down to a rocky ledge with three chains that were merged into the rocks.

"Can someone shut him up before I kill him!" a Mightyena yelled, he was running his hands through his black and grey fur his red eyes wide with fury.

"You will do no such thing," a Mismagius said on the other side of the clearing, he was checking the groups supplies "we were clearly instructed to bring him alive."

"But why!" the Mightyena whined, someone chuckled on the other side of the camp.

"Calm down Ren," a Scizor smirked. He was the closest to the Serperior and the one keeping guard "Don't get your tail in a knot."

"Dont say my name!" Ren yelled, he tried to glare at the Scizor but the sun was shining off his red metal armor making him look away "Damn hide in the shade or something Kaven."

Kaven chuckled at his companion and shifted his attention to the Mismagius.

"So Nix," Kaven smirked stretching the name "How're we doing on supplies?"

Nix smiled and shook his head, he closed the chest where the supplies were kept and walked towards Ren.

"We should have enough for a long time," Nix said, a breeze brushed through the clearing making the Mismagius' purple and pink robe flow against the wind "We have nothing to worry about."

"Yeah, if these guys actually show up." Ren muttered under his breath. The three had been holed up in the forest's clearing for almost two hours, they're clients were supposed to come three hours ago.

Nix sighed his discontent, he grabbed his hat when a rather big wind blew.

"It has been far to long." Nix said sourly. He turned towards the Serperior and glared at the grass type.

The Serperior glared right back. The ghost type jumped back in fear and the Serperior gave a small smile.

"Imbecile Serperiors and their infuriating glare." Nix muttered walking away from the camp.

Kaven got up from a tree he had been leaning on and walked over to the grass type.

"So what's your name?" Kaven asked. The Serperior raised an eyebrow on a bored expression.

"Do you really care?" he asked the steel type. Kaven shrugged his shoulders and stretched his wings.

"Just making conversation." he told the Serperior. The grass type had an expression that Kaven couldn't read. Finally the Serperior gave a small smile.

"Seven," he said bowing his head slightly "Nice to meet ya." Seven looked back up and locked into Kaven's yellow eyes.

"That's what I would've said if i wasn't tied to a rocky cliff in the the forest circumstances." Seven accused. Kaven laughed and retracted his wings.

"What do we do with the kid if they don't show up?" Ren asked his companions. The three of them exchanged a look between then

They walked away from Seven so that he couldn't hear their conversation. Once they thought they were far enough they grouped together.

"There is not much we can do, letting him go is not a good option." Nix scratched his chin "If they find him then we will be in serious trouble."

"Slave trade is definitely out of the question." Kaven said somberly.

The other two nodded, none of them liked slave trade. They turned around to look at Seven who had his head up to the sky.

"It sure is sunny today." Seven said out loud, the sun was almost setting but it was still sunny.

Ren grabbed his collar and started fanning himself.

"The kids right," Ren wiped his forehead "These people better come soon so they can take him and leave."

"Sorry guys," Seven said from the rocky ledge "But I'm anywhere."

Seven's gold markings lit up, he flicked his left hand and a Solarbeam crashed into the trio.

They were sent a few feet back, Ren fell to the ground but Nix and Kaven landed on their feet.

Seven flicked his right hand and a leaf blade appeared. He swung the blade upwards and broke the chains restraining him in a single swipe.

"Told you could've done a better job." Seven smirked, he spun and pointed his sword at the trio.

Ren rolled onto all fours and shot towards Seven. Ren swiped Seven with his claws twice and then kicked him in the chest.

Seven staggered back, he glared at Ren making him flinch. The grass type spun and raised a heap of leaves into the air, he pointed his sword at Ren and unleashed his Leaf Storm.

The storm engulfed Ren and sent him back a couple meters.

"Kaven." Nix ordered, the Scizor nodded and quickly dashed forward to take Ren's place.

He swung his hands and his metal claws enveloped them. He swung again with his claw as Seven used his sword to block the attack.

They parried until Seven was hit with a Mystical Fire, Seven cried out as the flames struck him.

Kaven moved up and gave Seven a head on uppercut. The Serperior fell to the ground seemingly unconscious.

Kaven walked up to him slowly and nudged him with his foot.

"That was anticlimactic." Kaven joked. Nix smiled but his eyes widened.

"Watch out!" Nix yelled, Kaven turned around to a smirking Serperior whose gold markings were glowing, a gold sphere appeared in his hand and the golden beam shot out.

The Solarbeam hit Kaven on the chest sending him flying. Seven got up shakily and ran towards Nix.

The ghost type raised his hands and shot repeated Mystical Fires and Shadow Balls, Seven dodged most of them, but got scared scraped by one.

He stepped in front of Nix and swung his sword repeatedly. Nix dodged all the sword strikes.

Seven huffed in annoyance and started swinging again. This time he managed to get knick Nix's leg making the ghost fall.

Seven grabbed Nix by the throat and used Giga Drain. A green glow enveloped Seven and Nix as the grass type took Nix's health.

"Nix!" Ren yelled rushing forward, he pushed Seven off his partner and used Dark Pulse. It knocked Seven back but it also hit Nix in the face.

The Mismagius cried out in pain and landed heavily on the ground.

"Nix!" Ren cried out kneeling down next to Nix "I'm sorry!"

Nix waved him off and pointed to the Serperior who was now in battle with Kaven. Ren nodded and charged one more time to attack.

Seven sparred with Kaven, the grass type slashed and whirled against the metal bugs straightforward technique. His blade ricocheting against Kaven's claws.

Seven saw Ren running up to them. He blasted a Solarbeam to distract Kaven then turned back to Ren and glared.

Ren yipped and tripped on his own feet.

"Shit!" he yelled as he fell down. Kaven came back and used X-Scissor on Seven's chest, it was a critical hit.

The Scizor put his foot on Seven and raised his claw for the finishing blow.

Seven smirked and grabbed Kaven's leg and engulfed him in a green glow. The metal type yelled out in agony as his health was being sucked out of him.

Ren ran up and tackled Kaven out of Seven's reach. Ren rolled on the ground as Kaven struggled getting up.

"Why are you fighting?!" Ren yelled. Seven picked up his sword from the ground, he staggered to get up, even with the extra health.

"I don't want you guys getting hurt." Seven said, he pointed his sword at the ground.

"You could've fooled me." Kaven muttered painfully, he drew in a sharp breath as he tried to move.

Ren saw something move in the corner of his eye. It was Nix and he was slowly getting up and getting ready to attack again.

"Trust me I'm saving you from something that you don't want to be a part of," he raised his sword and summoned another Leaf Storm "You'll thank me later."

Nix shot a Mystical Fire into the barrage of leaves. The fire enveloped the leaves and Seven screamed murder from inside the fire.

The fire continued to blaze a couple of seconds after the scream faded away.

The group walked towards the fire, Kaven was leaning on Ren and Nix was grabbing his side.

"Did we kill him?" Ren asked nervously. The three looked at each other with nervous glances.

The fire started shifting and become erratic, the mass of flames started rolling and spinning wildly.

Seven yelled from inside the fire and the burning leaves rushed forward into Ren and Kaven.

Kaven and Ren disappeared with a scream into the fire and Seven reappeared, burn marks decorating his body and his eyes showing intense determination.

The leaves died out to reveal the duo, Kaven had fainted and Ren wasn't doing so good.

Nix sent a Shadow Ball hitting Seven in the back, the grass type fell to his knees and almost fainted.

"You're not going to stop me!" Seven yelled getting up shakily staring straight at Nix "I wont let you!"

He aimed one hand at Nix and the other at Ren. His markings started glowing gold but the sun was now setting and the move needed to charge. Ren and Nix saw the opportunity.

Ren charged and Nix readied a Thunder, they were trying to lay the finishing strike.

Seven yelled and released two beams of light, the Solarbeams rammed into Ren and Nix who had both been about to attack.

Ren slammed into a tree and fainted while the Mismagius was on the ground.

Seven raised his left arm and aimed it at Nix. The ghost used the last of his strength and released the lightning from the dark clouds that had formed above Seven.

Seven yelled in agony as the lightning struck his body. He fell heavily to the ground, a loud gasp escaped him as he made contact with the ground.

Seven lay on the ground facing upwards and panting heavily, he turned his head painfully to look at Nix. Thankfully he had fainted.

I cant stay here Seven thought through his headache they'll find me.

With the last of his strength he flipped himself over, he cried out in pain and ignored he darkening of his vision.

He dragged himself into the trees, every muscle begging for him to stop. He was panting heavily and his vision was fading even more.

Seven was close to the tree line when his body gave up.

"No." Seven wailed softly "I can't give~" his head banged against the ground and he lost consciousness.
