Pokemon ZERO: In the shadow of Darkrai
Chapter1: Nightmares becoming dreams
Walking into the mysterious streets of the abandoned city, something shiny, looping in the misty air, caught Zero's attention. It seemed like a golden necklace with a crimson red ruby hanging proud in its middle. His eyes had never seen such a beautiful thing. The feeling that this necklace was transferring to whoever saw it was unbelievable. You were feeling as if you were the most overjoyed person on earth. As if you were the king of the world. That was the time Zero realized that he wasn't alone.
A dark shadow was moving in the background, coming closer and closer to the wonderful jewel. Suddenly, the whole feeling of happiness vanished and a dark, freezing feeling of fear replaced it. Zero was totally frightened as the terrifying shadow was coming nearer. It came so near that he got lost in its crystal blue eyes. A current of mystery and suspense was dragging him into the blue abyss of the shadow's eyes. It was like the shadow was stealing Zero's soul. But then, the beautiful golden necklace with the thrilling ruby began to change into rock, losing its power forever and finally, like a broken mirror, it fell on the ground and broke into thousands of small rock pieces. And with it, the mysterious shadow disappeared into mists, taking with it all the fear, the sadness and the hate of people.
So the whole abandoned city, with the forgotten streets and the spooky houses began to bloom again. Wonderful colours, smells and sounds replaced every dark corner of that city. Trees and flowers were growing in the yards of the houses, the fountains were filled with crystal water and people appeared from nowhere and started to laugh, play with each other and enjoy their life.
It seemed like the perfect ending for the story, but there was something unclear about it. Like a missing piece that could complete the puzzle. But this piece wasn't missing from the end of the story but from the beginning. The untold prologue that was going to give sense to the whole story.
That was the time when Zero woke up from his dream. Before he could realize what time was it or what had happened in his dream, he saw a dark, dull figure on the floor moving to the window and out of the room. "Hero, is that you?" Zero asked, thinking that the shadow on the floor was his friend pokemon. But it wasn't. Hero, his infernape, was lying in his bed having a deep sleep. After looking to the clock, Zero decided to wake up his friend and go down to eat breakfast. It was 10:00 am and the sun light was passing through the curtains of the window, lighting up all the room. The perfect way for Zero to wake up and have another big day.
