"Congratulations." Volkner started clapping. "That was one of the best battles I've had in a very long time."

"I can tell," Kenny smiled a bit. "The way you looked at the beginning and end of the battle really says it all."

"Well, anyway I thank you sincerely. It's helped me realize how fun it is to battle again." Volkner smiled giving Kenny the Beacon badge.

"No problem." Kenny smiled back looking at her new badge.

"Way to go Ken!" Shane ran up to Kenny and hugged her.

"AHG! What are you doing?!? Get off me!" Kenny yelled.

"Oh sorry." Shane let go of her. "I thought since you said we're kind of friends I could hug you."

"Not just yet. I still don't know you that well so I'll settle for a high-five." Said Kenny. Shane gave her a high-five.

"So where are you two headed now? The pokemon League?" Volkner asked.

"No, not just yet." Kenny replied.

"Why not?" Shane asked her.

"I already told you why."

"Oh right!"

"Am I missing something here?" Volkner asked looking confused.

"Kind of." Shane replied. "We're looking for something."

"Can you tell me what it is?" Volkner asked.

"It's a pokemon." Kenny replied.

"Oh, is it a rare one?"

"Yeah…at least I think it is. I'm not sure." Kenny looked down.

"Hm? You don't know what you're looking for?" Volkner looked puzzled.

"No, I do know what I'm looking for it's just that I haven't seen the pokemon in over ten years and I don't know if it's a legendary or just a normal pokemon."

"Would you mind telling me about this pokemon?" Volkner asked. Kenny told him everything she knew about the pokemon. Volkner nodded. "Hmmmm. That seems to describe the legendary Darkrai."

"Darkrai?" Kenny and Shane said at the same time.

"Yes, It is said that this pokemon is only active on nights of the new moon and will cause nightmares to anyone that might harm it but that's just folklore." Volkner replied. "It's strange that you say it appears in your dreams every night of the new moon. It's also strange that you haven't been trapped in an endless nightmare."

"HUH?! Why would I be trapped in an endless nightmare?!" Kenny sounded a little panicky.

"Darkrai is said to cause endless nightmares." Said Volkner.

"Oh wow, that's wicked!" Shane smiled a bit. "The pokemon you met was a legendary and he sounds really cool!!"

"Shane, we don't even know if Neon really is Darkrai or not."

"Tell you what Kenny," Volkner began. "It's getting dark and it's the night of the new moon tonight. Why don't you two stay at my place for the night and we'll see if this Neon of yours is really Darkrai?"

Shane and Kenny looked at each other and nodded. They walked out of the gym and into the dark streets of Sunnyshore City. "It's kind of eerie out here at night…" Shane shivered a bit.

"I know. Gives me the creeps at times too." Volkner said as they kept walking.

"I don't find it to be all that creepy out here." Kenny mumbled.

As they walked into Volkner's house, Shane and Kenny felt very sleepy. "Kenny, when you're asleep, I want you to try and talk to Darkrai." Said Volkner.

"But I don't even know if he speaks human language." Kenny protested.

"Doesn't matter." Volkner replied. "Just try it."

Kenny got into her sleeping bag and tried to fall asleep. It didn't really work. She was tossing and turning for two hours. Soon after that she finally fell asleep.

Dream

It was dark all around Kenny. She looked around, trying to find Neon. She hadn't tried talking to him in her dreams before so this will be the first time if she finds him. "Neon!" She called out.

"I did not think you would talk to me in your dreams Kenny." Said a low voice behind Kenny. She whipped around and saw the figure she had always seen in her dreams. Neon.

"Neon. I'm finally talking to you…and you can talk too." Kenny said quietly.

"Yes I can. Do you not remember when I talked to you when you were young?" Neon asked her.

"No…I just remember you making sounds." She replied.

"I see."

"Why haven't you come to see me since I was five?" Kenny asked.

"There were many complications, Kenny."

"Like what?! Tell me!!" Kenny sounded somewhat desperate.

"I get most of my energy on nights of the new moon and even still, Crescelia is always looking for me." Neon replied.

"Crescelia? Isn't that a pokemon?" Kenny asked.

"Yes, she represents the crescent moon. She is trying to send me back to New Moon Island. I don't wish to stay at that island."

"But I want to see you again outside of my dreams!"

"I know. I too wish we could meet again but I don't think I will be able to," Neon took her hand. "I'm sorry Kenny." He started drifting off. He tried to let go of Kenny's hand but she didn't want to let go.

"Neon, don't go!" She pleaded. She lost her grip on Neon's hand and he drifted off into the shadows. "NEON!!"

"Kenny…" Said a voice.

"Neon?" Kenny asked looking around.

"Kenny…" It said again. "Kenny wake up! KENNY!!"

Kenny felt as if she started drifting off herself. Everything started to fade.
