Chapter 1
On a far away mountain side, far from any villages or cities, there floated a Pokemon who was darkness embodied. Darkrai looked out from New Moon Mountain, remembering his reason for being. His purpose was to clash with the Lunar Pokemon Cresselia, as she was his opposite in every way. Where he would sow discord, she brought peace. When he tormented people with nightmares, she would ease their pain with pleasant dreams.
The only bad part for Darkrai was that the people hated him for being. Everywhere he went, people would chase him off or beat him down. No matter who it was, adult, child, or Pokemon, Darkrai was shunned every which way he went. But Darkrai refused to fight back, for he knew it would only make things worse. In fact, the only being to show him any kind of compassion was Cresselia. Each time he was chased away, Cresselia would find him and bring him comfort. Darkrai felt like he owed Cresselia his life.
That one afternoon, Darkrai was remembering one of these times. The other day, Cressalia was helping Darkrai to heal from his injuries from the towns angry mob.
"Why do they hate you Darkrai?" Cresselia said as she finished applying the last bandage, "I see no malice in you."
"It... doesn't matter to them." Darkrai groaned, "They only see the bad I do to them. It's best not to fight them over it."
"But it is not right. You belong in this world Darkrai. You complete the world, by being the darkness embodied."
"It is a curse Cresselia. A curse."
"Rest now. Save your strength."
Cresselia floated to the cliff side, gazing at the setting sun. Her job was fast approaching.
"I must go somewhere very far this time, Darkrai." She told him, "I am needed by some humans."
"Then go." Darkrai grumbled, "I shall remain here until you return. As I always must."
"Darkrai, please don't be like this. There will come a day where everyone shall see the real you. I know it. So don't give up hope. For me." Darkrai could feel his head getting hot. he made sure not to show his blushing face to Cressalia. it was not like him. Taking her leave, Cresselia flew off as the night began.
Back to the present day, Darkrai continued to scan for Cresselia's return. It wasn't like her to be gone this long. Something had to be up. But Darkrai had sworn to remain on new Moon Mountain until her return, so he would remain.
Darkrai was about to head inside his cave, when he heard heavy panting coming from far off. Without a glance backward, he spotted a Pidgey carrying a Kecleon. Once the two made it to the cliff side, Pidgey plopped onto the ground out of exhaustion.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't send you away for trespassing." Darkrai threatened.
"Please, great Darkrai, we only wish to bring a message." Kecleon bowed, "About Mistress Cresselia."
"What message?" Darkrai growled, suddenly intrigued.
"Please, oh dark one." Pidgey honored, "Mistress Cresselia is in danger! She has been captured!"
"Captured! How?!"
"It is tragic." Kecleon interjected, "Mistress Cresselia was spreading Lunar Wings to townsfolk, when some evil scientists suddenly captured her. We were nearby when it happened. And she told us to find Darkrai at New Moon Mountain."
"At first we were not sure we should come." Pidgey continued, "We all know of your terrifying power, oh dark one. But Cressalia pleaded us to find you. She begged with her very being milord. The Lunar Mistress needs you!"
"Please, great Darkrai, save Mistress Cresselia!" Darkrai didn't know what to say. He was shocked that humans would capture Cresselia.
But even so, he knew the threat had to be real. "Show me the way." Darkrai ordered. picking up Kecleon, Pidgey flew off as Darkrai followed.
"Hang on Cresselia." he thought, "I will find you!"
Well, there we go. Just something to get started, eh? The next chapter will be posted soon. This was written way back in the start of me being in fanfiction, so please bear with me. These will get better as the story evolves. For now, stay tuned.
