Now for the action! I'm not the best at it, so bear with me. The next chapter is already done, and it'll be posted a week after this.
ON WITH THE FIC!
"First off is Darkrai from the Dark Dragons! Let's see if this newbie from the failure of Academy of Origins will stand a chance!"
Darkrai walked into the area with a calm expression, despite all the boos and hisses that he received, the cheering from his teammates was all he needed. He cracked his knuckles and waited for his opponent to arrive.
"In the opposing corner is Delphox from Team Blaze! And she looks as great as ever!"
Out stepped a girl with long scarlet pig tails. She wore a long dark red robe with the chest area being yellow, and black heels. Her eyes were a fiery red, determined to win.
"Nice to meet yah sweetie, name's Delphox. Prepare for your school to lose again." She giggled. "We'll see about that." He said in a monotonous voice.
"Darkrai has the advantage…but this is his first actual battle, I hope he can handle it." Cresselia prayed. "Don't worry, my Onii-chan has gone through many fights, but I don't think he'll be using his full power just yet." Zorua explained.
"Begin!"
Delphox closed her eyes and pulled out a wand from her sleeve. When she did, her robe seem to stick to her body, and yellow ears seemed to sprout from her hair, giving the appearance that the hair was coming out of the ears.
Darkrai calmed himself, but did not remove the clump of hair beneath his left eyes. Though his body still became ghost like, with the back seeming like it was fading away.
Delphox shot a steam of fire from her wand, and Darkrai countered with a Dark Pulse.
"She doesn't look physically strong. So I might have an advantage if I get it close."
Delphox grinned and twirled her wand around her body, as flames surrounded her. "Using my Fire Spin technique, you won't be able to get close." She chuckled.
"But how?!"
"I have the power to look into the future, so I knew you were going to do that. I also know that I'm going to win this match, fate has decided it." Delphox explained.
Darkrai growled for a short amount of time, then grinned. "I wouldn't place all your faith in fate, I know from experience that things won't go the way you want them." He explained as he shot a Shadow Ball into the air and then fired a Dark Pulse straight at her. Delphox countered with another Flamethrower, but got hit with the Shadow Ball, dealing considerable amount of damage.
"Mewtwo, I'm taking a page out of your book." Darkrai said as he created a Shadow Ball with one hand, and linked it with a line of pure dark energy. "Let's see if you shield can handle my Shadow Flail." He said as he twirled it above his head.
Delphox tried to shoo away the flail with her fire 'magic', but couldn't avoid the incoming attack. She received blow after blow with little success in escape.
"Darkrai is laying hit after hit on Delphox! Maybe he has a chance!"
But then, as Darkrai brought the flail above his head, Delphox released a Fire Spin, trapping Darkrai in his place. "Take this! Mystical Fire!" She exclaimed shooting a ring of orange fire that circled the Pitch Black Pokémon. He tried to dispel the flames with his powers, but he couldn't find the strength to do so.
"I figured you were a special attacker, and Mystical Fire cuts down on the power of special attacks." She smirked. "Let's see how long it takes for you to burn." The Fox Pokémon grinned as she released a steady stream of fire at Darkrai, who couldn't do anything but get hit with the searing heat.
"The tables have turned! Delphox has trapped Darkrai and is wearing him down with Flamethrower! This looks like the end!"
Darkrai felt his clothes burning up, the scarf that hid his past was unraveling. His breathing quickened, and his body started shaking violently. An image of a young blonde woman flashed in his mind, before it changed into a burning body, charred black as coal. A dark aura surrounded him, forming claws made out of pure darkness. He tore up the fire as if it was paper, and then glared at Delphox. "As I said…" He started as his body melted into the ground.
"Never put your trust in fate….
Delphox was terrified and casted another Fire Spin around her, as she nervously held her wand.
….for as it can build you up….
She walked backward and bumped into something, she shuddered and turned around, seeing Darkrai grinning maliciously at her, the fire only added to the horror, and Delphox felt like she was going to pass out.
"…it can also knock you down." He said as he used a Shadow Claw on her, knocking her out.
"I can't believe it! Darkrai from the Dark Dragons has won!"
The crowd erupted into cheers at the battle, impressed with the outcome. Darkrai loosened his scarf and slowly made it back to their team's rest spot. All of his teammates were gathered to see if he was alright.
"Are you sure the burns don't hurt?" Yveltal asked. "I'll be fine, I just need to rest." He said as he sat down on a bench. "Here, let me help you with that." Cresselia said as she twirled around and then placed her hand on Darkrai's chest, to his amazement, her hand started glowing, as did his body. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Lunar Dance, it can fully heal a teammate, with a drawback." She said as her hand and his body stopped glowing.
Darkrai breathed in deeply, no longer feeling a shortness of breath from his beaten body. "What is the drawback?" He asked. "It gives the user…..fatigue…" She said as she closed her eyes and collapsed onto Darkrai, falling asleep immediately. Without strength to move, the Pitch Black Pokémon turned to his friends for help, but they just slowly shuffled out.
"You guys are as-"
And with that, the boy's exhausted body forced him to sleep and recover.
"Momma, why do me and Darkrai look different?"
A young woman sat in between Zorua and Darkrai, when she heard this question, her face grew a bit pale. "W-well sweetie…Darkrai's special." She said hesitantly. "What about me?" Zorua whined. "O-of course you're special too!" The woman sputtered. "Zorua, I have been sent by a higher power to protect you, I am your guardian angel, your mom called me to make sure you are protected and happy." Darkrai said as he picked the little girl up and placed her on his shoulders. "Yay! I get my own angel! But where are your wings?"
"I get them later."
"Cool!"
"Protecting you also means you have to eat your veggies."
"Booo…."
The three of them laughed, while the woman mouthed a 'thank you' to Darkrai, who smiled in response.
Still asleep, Darkrai felt a shuffling on him. Instinctively, he placed his arm over it. His eyes slowly opened, soaking in the room around him. He looked down and saw Cresselia cuddling his chest. He panicked and quickly pushed her off. She awoke with a start and looked, her disheveled blonde hair messily covering her face. "What happened, Darkrai?!"
Darkrai's cheeks turned a rosy red as he kept his head down, "N-nothing…" He muttered as he walked up to the stands. Cresselia looked confused, but thought about what happened before she passed out added to what happened right now. When she put two and two together, she also blushed a bit. "Did we…no…we couldn't have." The Lunar Pokémon whispered as she followed Darkrai.
"Onii-chan! You're awake!" Zorua cheered as her brother arrived. "Yah, I'm feeling much better now, thanks to Cresselia." He said as he stretched his limbs. "For more than one reason." Yveltal said silently, causing everyone to snicker. Darkrai rolled his eyes, but then got back on topic. "So who won while I was asleep?" He asked.
"Giratina and Dialga won, while Palkia and I lost." Yveltal explained. "Mewtwo's down there, about to finish the match."
"And Mewtwo decimates Huntail with a powerful Thunder! The Dark Dragons win!"
"And there we go." Yveltal grinned.
"You're the only one to take such a beating…wuss." Dialga spat. Darkrai's tempered flared, "I'll crush you right now." He growled. "Come on guys, no fighting. Darkrai's opponent was pretty strong." Arceus said. "But now we have to wait until the rest of the matches are over." Xerneas explained.
A couple hours passed by before the fighting was over, some of the matches were short, and others were much longer.
"Alright you pokefans! The results are right here! If your team made it, we will see you in two weeks!"
A multitude of team names flashed on a screen. In the mist of it, the gang noticed their team name.
"Yes, we did it!"
"But it only gets harder from here." Mewtwo said as he approached everyone, unscathed as always.
"Also, I don't mean to alarm you, but I have a feeling that this tournaments will not be like the others."
Chapter is complete!
Yay!
Ok, if you guys think I'm good or bad at the action scenes, I need to know. I honestly have no idea where I stand in my ability.
What was Darkrai's dream? Was it a flashback or a delusion?
Also, epic foreshadowing pulled off in the last sentence! (not really)
Anyways, the next chapter is already complete, but I'll be releasing it next week. Since I'm EVIL…maybe…..
Anyways, read, favorite, follow, REVIEW.
And I will see you all in the next chapter.
UNTIL NEXT TIME!
