Off on a mysterious island where a once and mighty kingdom stood. There was only a single castle left and inside was Darkrai. He looked through the broken roof and stared up at the starry night sky. Victini floated beside him and sat down.
"You know you were really handsome as a Pokemon but you're so ugly as a human." Victini said quietly
"Really that's all you have to say after I told you what happened..." Darkrai replied
"Well you said that Cresselia went missing right?" Victini said
"Yup that's the truth I had to hold back on all the nightmares that I was giving out..." Darkrai clutched his hand.
"Well for someone who is one of the care takers of humanity you still don't know a lot about them do you?" Victini quickly said
"No! And why should I care! Humans are always disrupting the balance I don't know why Arceus made them in the first place!" Darkrai yelled
"Well you should care because of the predicament you're in right now. Right now you're not a Pokemon you are a human being, and you must learn the laws and rules of the human world. Darkrai you can't stay in the dream world forever." Victini replied
"Well then what should I do huh! Victini!" Darkrai yelled
"Well the first thing you might want to consider changing your name to something more
human..." Victini said very quickly knowing that Darkrai would have hated it
"Change my name! How could I do something like that! Its the legendary name that Arceus himself gave me! I can't change it!" Darkrai yelled in utter shock
"Relax buddy I didn't say completely change I meant more of change it out of a Pokemon name... Think about how weird would it be if you came across a human with the name of 'Darkrai the Legendary Pokemon of Nightmares' See it would just be weird" Victini said
"I see what you mean... well what should I change my name to then? Do you have any suggestions?" Darkrai said
"I was thinking along the lines of 'Dark' do you like that by any chance?" Victini said
Darkrai put his hand onto his chin and thought for a bit "Hey there my name is Dark what's yours?" Darkrai thought a bit more. "Victini I like it!" He said out loud.
"So Dark now that you have a name where do you want to go?" Victini asked
"To the Sinnoh Region Victini!" Darkrai said
"Oooo one problem with that... I can't travel that far I don't have enough energy to take you there, but you do have an option you can ride one of the human's flying machines." Victini thought really hard "What are they called again... oh yeah 'planes...' you can ride one of those! Although only trainers with more than 5 gym badges can enter a new region without having family there."
"So you're saying that I have to become a despicable trainer, gain 5 badges from humans in order to head to Sinnoh!" Darkrai said in frustration
"Basically! But don't worry I can help with that too!" Victini used her psychic energy to lift a pillar out of the ground and in front of Dark. The pillar had a small orb that seemed to made out of a Amber coloured crystal.
Dark instantly recognized the orb. "Victini this is your portable crystal! Are you sure you want to become my Pokemon!"
"Don't worry I know I'll be in good hands!" Darkrai instantly thought back many years ago when he trusted a human with his portable crystal. "Make sure you give your crystal to someone special because once you do they have command over you." Those are the words that Arceus gave to him.
Dark held up the crystal orb towards Victini. It began to glow a bright orange colour a beam of light shot out and made contact with Victini. It sucked her into the crystal almost as if it was a Pokeball.
"So Victini I don't know Unova well where is the first gym?" Dark asked
"The first gym for most trainers is the Striaton Gym, but right now the closet one for you is the Nimbasa gym" Victini replied
"Well let's go then!" Darkrai yelled out
"Let's wait till sunrise got it!"
With Morgan
Morgan stretched her arms as she awoke from her bed. She walked over to the washroom in the Pokemon center and quickly took a shower and fixed up her hair. She took a walk down to the lobby of the Pokemon center and went to Nurse Joy.
"Uh... Nurse Joy can you help me out with something?" Morgan asked
"Sure I'm here to help!" Joy said cheerfully
"Ok this might sound weird but how did I get here?" Morgan hesitated to say but she got it out.
"Uh... Well a man came in here with you in his arms and just dropped you off. He didn't say a word to anyone once he came here he bought you a room and just put you into your room."
"Wait did he do anything to me!?" Morgan yelled out
"No I checked to make sure! As soon as he dropped you off he left your room immediately. I'd guess your still innocent!"
Morgan blushed at that answer she shuck off the situation though and walked out of the Pokemon center. "Well since I'm already in Nimbasa city I might as well go challenge gym see what it has to offer, and if I fail that just means I have more training to do." Morgan thought. She saw the Ferris wheel in the distance and thought that it might be fun to ride.
It took Morgan a few minutes to walk to Nimbasa's amusement park, and it turned out to be packed with people. There was a fun happy energy in the air that really lifted her spirit. Once she made her way to the Ferris wheel the line was massive and Morgan thought that it wouldn't be worth it. While she was there she gorged on snacks, cotton candy and ice cream.
There was a big crowd by the battle arena as people were screaming "Elesa Elesa Elesa come on you can do it!" as well as "No way man that guy has a mythical Pokemon!" Morgan squeezed her way through the crowd, but instantly got shoved out.
"Hey what's going on?" Morgan asked one of the crowed members
"This guy is challenging the gym leader!"
"So what's so special about that?" Morgan asked
"He's fighting with a Victini!"
"No way I have to see this." Morgan thought, she mustered up all her strength. She pushed and shoved her way through the big crowd until she finally reached the battle arena. There she saw it! Someone who owned a mythical Pokemon. The man was only a few inches taller than her. He had short silver hair and blue eyes that could pierce a soul. His glare was intense almost as if he was fighting for his life.
"Victini please hang in there and use flame burst! You also need to dodge those attacks!" Dark yelled
Unfortunately Victini could not keep up with Zebstrika it was just too fast. It zipped across the field as it almost looked as if it was teleporting. The repeated flame charge didn't help the situation either as Victini was losing stamina fast constantly firing hopeless attacks.
Dark gritted his teeth as he began to grow frustrated "Damn it come on Victini use psychic and try to catch it!"
"Dark please... I'm trying... I'm so tired..." Victini's eyes glowed a beautiful blue colour but she was unable to catch something that was moving so fast.
"Alright Zebstrika use spark then stomp to finish this off!" Elesa yelled Zebstrika charged at Victini with incredible speed in mere seconds Zebstrika made contact. This knocked Victini into the ground making a small crater.
Finally with all of its might Zebstrika slammed its feet down creating a huge explosion. The entire field was covered in dust and smoke. It took a few seconds for the smoke to clear, but when it finally did Victini was protected by a quick command from Dark.
"Victini are you alright! We can still keep fighting as long as you have the move protect!" Dark yelled. He found himself getting tired as the fight continued to drag on for several hours.
Zebstrika was still standing tall, proud and full of spirit! On the other hand Victini was struggling to stand as its eyes were beginning to become droopy. After one final hit Victini was on the ground coughing and panting as it was completely exhausted.
"Wow I've had long battles before but this definitely take the cake! Hey Dark was it? You have great potential, but you need to learn when it's appropriate to attack, defend and especially when to quit..." Elesa said
Dark simply walked right pass Elesa and held Victini in his arms and wept. " I'm so sorry Victini I'll never try to put you through something like that ever again..."
Morgan had stayed to see the fight and as she was watching she could only cringe at the terrible decisions Victini's trainer had made. She walked over to the trainer and held out a small yellow berry.
"Here it will help Victini feel better!"
"Thanks, but I don't need your damn help!" Dark yelled as he slapped the berry out of Morgan's hand.
"Hey look you don't have to be a jerk about it! Your Pokemon is hurt and it needs attention right away!"
Dark stood up and pointed at Morgan "But Victini doesn't need help from a worthless human like you!"
"Well fine then! If you really don't want any help I'll leave you alone! But just so you know Victini is going to die if you don't get it some help right away..." Morgan slowly walked away "I learned that mistake the hard way..."
Dark walked over and picked up the small berry that was on the ground. He dusted it off and gave it to Victini. She ate the entire thing in one bite, instantly she could feel the berry giving her energy.
Morgan walked back to the Pokemon center and thought about what she had just done. She ran her fingers through her hair furiously. "Oh man I really jumped the gun there... I shouldn't have been so mean..." Morgan face palmed
"I know I'll make it up to him I'll help him get that gym badge!" Morgan thought as she put her fist into the air "Although I'll have to find him first..."
She walked into the Pokemon center and into her room where she sat down at the desk in it.
' Dear Diary
Today I woke up in Nimbasa city! Apparently some guy took me here... Although creepy at least the room was free! I also saw a trainer who had a mythical Pokemon so that was cool, he battled for the gym badge, but unfortunately lost it in the end. He was a jerk! His Pokemon was severely injured and he spat in my face when I tried to help. I feel really bad about it and I'm going to make up for the terrible way I acted out. Well until next time Diary
P.S I miss you daddy'
Morgan was walking down to the battle area hoping the trainer she saw was going to be there. She looked at all the trainers there, but the trainer she saw wasn't there. She turned around to see a person she did recognize though.
"Hey there Morgan have you gotten bigger in the chest area? hmmmm!"
"Come on we've already talked about this when will you stop talking about my chest Bailey!" Morgan yelled "This is Bailey Rustle my childhood friend. We've basically grown up together although he is like 1 year older than I am. Everyone assumes we're a couple but really were more like very close friends almost to the point of siblings"
"HELLO! EARTH TO MORGAN! POW! What do you think of the new attire!" Bailey screamed
"It looks great on you but what's with all the watches on your arm?" Morgan giggled a little
"Oh that's just for looks they don't actually work ha ha ha!" Bailey laughed along
"I'm loving the hat though it looks great!" Morgan complimented
"Ha ha thanks, you should think about gettin a hat yourself!"
"Uh no I don't do hats..." Morgan said as she blushed out of embarrassment
"Ok then we'll since we just met up again how about we have a battle! Oh by the way how many gym badges do you have so far? I'd love to hear!" Bailey questioned
"I'd love to have a battle, and I only have 3 badges right now..."
"What!? only 3 badges! I have 7 right now!" Bailey screamed
"I know it's disappointing, but I still want to see how strong my Pokemon and have become so I accept your challenge!" Morgan yelled as she pointed her finger at her friend
"So how many Pokemon do you have on you?"
"Right now I have 2 Pokemon on me!"
"Alright then it will be a two on two got it!" Bailey said as he clenched his fist "Hey can we please get a ref" Bailey yelled
A referee quickly came their way. Bailey told him what the rules of the battle were. The referee climbed up onto his podium and raised the two flags that he held "This will be a two on two battle who ever's Pokemon team is unable to battle first is the loser. Both trainers are allowed to substitute. Are both trainers ready!" The referee yelled
"I'm good!" Bailey yelled
"Yup I'm ready to go!" Morgan yelled
"Then Begin!" The Referee yelled as he waved his flag
"Come on out Emboar!" Bailey yelled
"So he's going Emboar the last time I saw that Pokemon was when it was a Pignite" Morgan thought "Ok come on out Dewott!"
Dewott looked up at its opponent and instantly got pumped up to fight it. "Ok Dewott please use aqua jet!" The otter Pokemon lunged at Emboar at incredible speeds.
"Quick use defense curl!" Emboar raised its arms and blocked Dewott's attack. "Ok great job Emboar now push it off and use roar!" The mighty Pig Pokemon pushed its arms forward flinging Dewott back. It breathed in with its lungs and a monster like roar.
The move forced Dewott back into its Pokeball and forced out Riolu to take its place. "Oh crap! He's never used that before I would never have seen it coming! He's gotten so good since the last time!" Morgan thought
"Alright Riolu use swords dance!" Riolu charged up its energy and got into its battle stance. "Great now use metal sound repeatedly on Emboar!"
Riolu was moving everywhere on the battle field constantly firing its attacks at Emboar. At first it seemed as if the attacks were doing nothing, but bit by bit Emboar slowly became disoriented.
"Alright great job now use Return!" Morgan yelled. Riolu ran and jumped off of Emboar, as soon as it landed it lunged back at charged full force at Emboar. Once Riolu made contact Emboar was blown back at its trainers feet.
"Emboar get up now!" Bailey commanded with force. Emboar slowly got up as he let out a mighty battle cry. "Hammer arm now!"
Emboar jumped up into the air to the point where the Pokemon wasn't visible anymore.
"Watch out Riolu it's going to try and land on you so get ready to dodge!" Morgan yelled she looked up and saw Emboar coming down in a ball of fire. The Mighty Pig Pokemon was falling faster and faster.
"Riolu doge left now!" The little Pokemon lunged towards the left as Emboar crashed into the ground making a huge explosion and a cloud of smoke. Emboar instantly jumped out of smoke and grabbed Riolu by the neck and threw it into the ground. White energy formed around its fist as it slammed it into Riolu.
"Riiiooluuuu!" It screamed in pain. There was smoke everywhere, but once it cleared Riolu was in the middle of a crater knocked out.
"Riolu! No..." Morgan took in a deep breath to collect herself "Alright you can do this" Morgan told to returned Riolu back into its Pokeball. She then pulled out the one Pokeball she had left on her trainer belt and threw it into the field of battle.
"Dewott please help me for this battle!" Dewott came out of its Pokeball and instantly lunged towards Emboar with an Aqua jet. "Oh no... Dewott is acting out on its own again..."
"So she still hasn't learned how to control Dewott yet. What a shame for such an amazing trainer. Emboar quickly return!" Bailey held up his Pokeball and sucked Emboar back in.
"Alright I need your help Gigalith come on out!" The massive rock Pokemon came out of it's Pokeball and gave a cold stare at Dewott. However Dewott was still in its attack and went after Gigalith.
"Gigalith use sandstorm now!" Bailey commanded the start up of sandstorm blew Dewott back for a few seconds, but the otter Pokemon quickly charged up a razor shell. It started slicing at Gigalith with intense ferocity.
"Gigalith hang on and use Iron defense! Our victory depends on how long you survive!" Bailey yelled. His Pokemon kept raising its defense over and over again becoming more bulky. This made Dewott extremely frustrated resulting in it using razor shell over and over again and again.
"Please Dewott you have to calm down and be patient!" Dewott didn't listen to its trainer at all it just kept on attacking. It was losing stamina fast as became even more tired from its repeated attacks as well as the sandstorm slowly chipping away at it.
"Gigalith is looking exhausted... time to take out that Dewott. Gigalith do you trust me!" Bailey yelled
"Gigalith slowly nodded its head."
"Alright I need you to put all of your energy into this attack got it!"
Dewott was at its breaking point it put most of its energy into one final Aqua jet and lunged towards Gigalith at full speed.
"Now! Gigalith use explosion!" Bailey yelled. Gigalith charged up all of the remaining energy it had left and blasted it outwards. Destroying all of the nearby battle field.
"No! Dewott you have to block it!" Morgan yelled out of desperation.
Once the explosion was finished Morgan looked towards the battle field and saw her Dewott on the ground lying down. Slowly her Pokemon got up and coughed for a bit it looked forward as its heart began to break. In front of Dewott was a scalchop broken into four pieces.
"Oh... no... one of its scalchops are broken..." Dewott simply had no energy left as it fell to the ground and fainted from exhaustion.
"Morgan is unable to battle the victor is Bailey!" The Referee yelled he then walked over to Morgan "Hey kid sorry about the broken scalchop, but I heard from nurse joy that if a Dewott holds a shell with it, its scalchop will grow back faster. Good thing there's a popular beach in Unova just head to Undella town!"
Bailey returned Gigalith back into its Pokeball. He walked over to Dewott and picked it up as well as the broken scalchop. "Morgan let's get you and your Pokemon to the Pokemon center right away!" Bailey yelled
"Yes I think that would be best..." Morgan said as she tried to hold back the tears "I couldn't control him... again... I'm a failure as a Pokemon trainer."
"Hey that isn't the Morgan I know!" Bailey yelled "The Morgan I know would never give up! The Morgan I know has a heart that always follows its dreams! That is not the champion Morgan I know!" Bailey walked up to Morgan and gave her a warm hug. "Morgan you can't give up now you still have to become the champion" Bailey whispered into her ear.
Bailey pulled away from the hug and stared into Morgan's eyes signifying that they needed to get going. But for a quick moment Morgan saw Bailey not as a silly friend or a silly brother, but as a true companion. For a quick moment she noticed the burning fire in his heart, and the passion in his eyes.
