Darkrai and Kyuukon laughed, entering the garden from the New Year's celebration. It was awkward since Kyuukon obviously wasn't a legendary Pokemon, which made her stick out from everyone else. But to his surprise, she gained some new friends which didn't include Shaymin and Cresselia.
"I still can't believe that happened," Kyuukon said, calming down from the laughter. Darkrai nodded. Mew and Celebi had broke out into a physical fight when she asked why she couldn't have Suicune. For a while, nobody did anything until Manaphy came to break up the fight. Darkrai still didn't know how such a serious voice could come from such a young legendary.
"But still, Celebi had all rights to ask." Darkrai stopped when he realized Kyuukon wasn't listening. Instead, she was stooping low to the ground.
"Kyuukon, what are you doing?" Darkrai asked, curiously. Kyuukon nosed her way through some ferns and between trees. Darkrai followed her until she stopped at an extremely dark spot.
"There's a small hole," Kyuukon muttered. She dug around the hole to make it bigger. Darkrai looked closer. It was easy see now, since the moon was full. Kyuukon made the hole big enough so she and Darkrai could fit in.
"It looked like a thinner Pokemon made it," Darkrai commented, following Kyuukon into the hole. A slide-like tunnel was underground. Darkrai had to sink beneath the shadows to move around easier. He started to wonder who made the tunnel and started to feel bad if it were one of the garden Pokemon.
All of a sudden, it got brighter. Darkrai came out of the shadows to see what was ahead of him. A small, circular cave-like clearing with a small hole on the roof of it was there. The hole let in moonlight, which made the area seem to glow a soft blue. An odd scent clung to the air. It was strong, since Kyuukon's nose wrinkled. She stepped to the clearing and nosed the air. All of a sudden, she gasped and ran over to the foot of the wall, where it was darker.
"What is it?" Darkrai worriedly asked, following Kyuukon. He saw a faint outline of a Pokemon with a dull, yellow glow.
"It's an Umbreon..." Kyuukon whispered. She nosed the Umbreon a bit more. "She's dead. She has been for about an hour." Darkrai was horrified. He wondered how the Umbreon died. Kyuukon carefully stepped around the dead Umbreon and gently rolled a brown-and-tan egg from the Umbreon's side.
"What do we do with it?" Kyuukon asked. Her red eyes teared up. It was a sad fact that the Umbreon had died while having the egg. Darkrai thought for a moment, stuck in the situation. Arceus barely let him get away alive when he brought Kyuukon to him for the first time. There would be no way Arceus would let them hatch and raise the Pokemon inside the egg. There was nothing else Darkrai could do.
"We'll have to hatch and raise it," Darkrai decided, knowing he had made the worst decision of his life.
