A/N: hello everyone! I have decided to add yet another of my unhealthy obsessions to the list of things I've written about… this time, Pokémon will be the subject. I know I'm 18 and therefore should probably let this subject fade into memory, but I really do love Pokémon… so I doubt that will happen anytime soon… anyways, this story will be focused on one Darkrai and will be a romantic adventure story, just like most of the things I write. Without further ado… Let's begin!
Chapter 1: Darkrai's tears
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Darkrai stood alone in a mystical ruin, symbols of unown and other ancient languages glowing faintly in the moonlight. He looked around, trying to figure out where his trainer had gone. There were some people who went by the name of Team Plasma, who were trying to separate him from his trainer, and it seemed like they had succeeded.
Darkrai heard a scream echo from the distance and ran towards the sound's origin. When he arrived, his heart skipped a beat... there, in the middle of a circle of runes, was his trainer, Sarah, lying flat on the ground, with a massive and deep cut across her torso… she wasn't moving. He rushed over to her side and knelt beside her… she wasn't breathing. He turned his head slowly towards the members of Team Plasma and stood up, a single tear trailed down his face.
He shouted as loud as he could, "You bastards!"
One of the Team Plasma grunts looked at him in disbelief. "You can talk?!"
Darkrai locked eyes with the grunts and used Dark Void. The grunts fell flat on their faces and fell asleep. Darkrai cast a glance back at his fallen trainer… "I… I wasn't good enough… to stop them…" he turned back to the sleeping grunts. "Grrr… RAAAHH!" he used Nightmare on them both, causing them to writhe in agony while still asleep. He turned back to his trainer and looked down at her… he knew she was gone… but he couldn't bring himself to leave her yet. He reached down and took her necklace; a pendant made of ruby, and put it on himself. He sat beside her and waited for… well, he didn't know what he was waiting for. He was all alone now… and he cried for his trainer.
As he wept a figure appeared near him, and spoke to him. "Why do you cry, Darkrai?"
Darkrai looked at the figure, it was obviously a Pokémon, but he had never seen anything like this one. "My trainer was just killed by Team Plasma… I have no home now…"
The figure looked at Darkrai's fallen trainer. "I see… Team plasma has done much wrong to people and Pokémon alike… would you like to live with the other legendary Pokémon? I can take you to the Hall of Origin, if you would like."
Darkrai stood up and looked at the figure. "You... You can't be… Arceus… Can you?
The figure nodded. "I am."
Darkrai looked back at Sarah. "What will become of my trainer?"
Arceus said simply; "She will become one with the Earth once more. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. Do not cry for her. Her soul was taken on angel's wings to the afterlife, and she would not want you to cry for her now."
Darkrai looked at his trainer's body. "Take me to the Hall of Origin then…"
A portal appeared in front of him… He approached and looked through the portal, and saw a massive hall made of white and yellow marble. He turned around to cast one last glance at his fallen trainer, and then stepped into the portal, leaving his trainer's body to, as Arceus said, become one with the earth.
