On with the story

It was another day in the Pokemon World

Ken was still on his journey to join the Sinnoh League and then challenge the Elite Four and then Shirona

The young trainer was currently having a Pokemon Battle with a group of trainers who challenged him into a Pokemon tag battle

Ken's opponent had called out a Staraptor and Grotle while Ken had Gible and Aron out

"Staraptor! Brave Bird!" "Grotle! Hyper Beam!" the opposing trainers shouted out as their Pokemon launched their attacks at Gible and Aron

"Gible! Dig! Aron you too!" Ken shouted as Gible and Aron dodge the attacks with Dig before popping back out

"our turn! Aron! Iron Head! Gible! Giga Impact!" Ken ordered out as Gible and Aron dashed towards their opponents with their moves and instantly sends their opponents crashing to the ground, defeated

"oh no!" "no way!" his opponents shouted out in disbelieve as their Pokemon were defeated

"Staraptor and Grotle are unable to battle!" a Trainer who was the match's referee announced out as he raised his hand to Ken's side "the winner is Aron and Gible!"

"great job, you two" Ken told his pokemon as Gible jumped up and down in joy while Aron smiled before the two suddenly glowed

"don't tell me!" Ken smiled as both Aron and Gible evolved

Aron grew as it turns into a Lairon while Gible grew large and became a Gabite

"you two evolved!" Ken smiled as he went to his Pokemon and hugged them

Gabite and Lairon smiles to Ken as they hugged him back

"thanks for the battle, Ken-san" the three trainers went to Ken and his Pokemon as they shook his hand and got his autograph

"see ya!" Ken waved them goodbye as he left for the next town


Ken was now on the path to the next town as he was in the middle of forest

He passes by many trees that bear lots and lots of berries

"this place is flourishing" Ken said with a smile before he called out everyone "pick up some berries, you guys. I'm going to make something with them later on"

Golurk and the others nodded as they spread out

Ken started picking some Oran Berries as he took a bite out of one and smiled to the amazing taste

"not only they're flourishing, this taste is just something unbelievable" Ken said before he picks some more


Gabite and Lairon were picking some Cheri Berries as Gabite picks the berries while Lairon carries the berries on its back on a leaf pile

As the two picks the berries, a shadow passed by them

Gabite and Lairon sensed it as they turn and sees the shadow looming around a tree's shade

They look and see Darkrai appearing out

Gabite raises its talon as it was ready for a possible fight against Darkrai

Darkrai looks at them before going back into the shadow and then looming away

Gabite and Lairon looks to where Darkrai had disappeared before looking to each other and tilt their head


After picking up many berries, everyone went back to Ken who was stashing away some Oran berries into a plastic container

"oh! Talk about a big load!" Ken said as every one of his Pokemon brought back a lot of berries with them but Ken then realized that one of his Pokemon wasn't with them

"where's Drapion?" he asked as everyone looks around for the Ogre Scorpion Pokemon

Suddenly a loud explosion was heard as everyone saw smoke coming from the distance

"an explosion?!" Ken said before everyone went to the site of the explosion


Drapion let out a loud cry before it fired a Hyper Beam around the land as a shadow was dashing out, dodging the Hyper Beam

"DRAPION!" Ken shouted out as he and the others went to the scene

Drapion looks behind before looking back forward as Darkrai appeared out of the shadows

"Darkrai!?" Ken exclaimed in shock to meet the Pitch Black Pokemon yet again after last time

Drapion glared hard as the Ogre Scorpion Pokemon looks to have a grudge against Darkrai

"Drapion, move back!" Ken ordered out as Golurk steps into the field and faces Darkrai "let Golurk handle Darkrai"

Drapion shooks its head before glaring at Darkrai

"listen to me! Drapion!" Ken shouted but Drapion didn't heed his word

Drapion crosses its Pincers before firing a Cross Poison at Darkrai

Darkrai dodged the attack by going into the shadows before it appeared out and fired a Shadow Ball

"Golurk!" Ken shouted as Golurk rams its fist at the Shadow Ball and send it flying

Darkrai looms around in the shadows before it appeared behind Drapion and fired Evil Shade

Drapion let out a cry of pain before firing a Cross Poison at Darkrai but the Pitch Black Pokemon just dodge the attack

"Drapion! Stop firing your Cross Poison!" Ken shouted before Darkrai appears out of the shadow in front of Ken and Golurk

Drapion let out a loud cry before firing Poison Sting

"wait! Drapion!" Ken shouted as Darkrai dodged the Poison Sting but the attack came flying at Ken and Golurk

Golurk run towards Ken and covers him from the Poison Sting but some of the Poisonous needles managed to hit Ken's right arm, chest and right leg

Drapion and the others look in shock as Ken grunted in pain to the stings

Darkrai appears behind Drapion before the Pitch Black Pokemon disappears in the shadows

Everyone went to Ken as he pulls out the Poison needles and threw them away

"it's alright..i'm fine" Ken told them to assure them as Golurk holds Ken

Ken gets up and walks a few steps before suddenly falling down

Lairon, Gabite, and Starly went to Ken as they let out their cries to him

Golurk helps Ken as the Automaton Pokemon saw that Ken's face was turning pale

Drapion looks in shock as the Ogre Scorpion Pokemon had hurt its trainer in process of its hatred against Darkrai

Ken lightly breathes as the Poison in the Poison sting started to work its way in him


Ken was laid down on a makeshift leaf bed as Golurk sets him down

Golurk looks at his trainer as he could tell that Ken was in a worse condition

The Automaton Pokemon then let out a few cries to Starly, Gabite, and Lairon as they nodded

Gabite grabs Ken's Drink canister before leaving with Lairon

Starly flew away as the bird Pokemon was going to find some help

Drapion was the only one left with Golurk as the Automaton Pokemon looks around the berries in the areas

Golurk let out a few cries as it then draws on the ground, what looks to be a Pecha Berry which is known to cure Poison

Drapion nodded before going away to find the berry

Golurk was left to tend to Ken as Ken was breathing rather raggedly and his face started to turn a bit purple


Drapion looks around in the forest for the Pecha Berry but all it found are some Oran Berry, Sitrus Berry, and some Tomato Berry

It looks around, high and low for the berry but could not find it


The day started turn to noon as the sun started to set

Drapion was still out in the forest as it still couldn't find the Pecha Berry

The Ogre Scorpion Pokemon pushes away some bushes but still didn't find any signs of the berry

Soon, Starly came flying to Drapion

Drapion looks to Starly as it let out a few cries to Drapion before flying away

The Ogre Scorpion Pokemon looks down before following Starly

In the end, Drapion who was at fault couldn't find the Pecha berry to help Ken get better

As soon as Drapion was about to leave, a Pecha berry suddenly falls behind it

Drapion looks behind and saw the Pecha berry

It picked it up before looking around to find more but didn't

A shadow passes Drapion as the Ogre Scorpion Pokemon looks up to a tree branch and sees Darkrai appearing

Drapion glared at Dakrai as the Pitch Black Pokemon just stood on top of the tree branch

Dakrai soon threw some Pecha berries to the ground as Drapion looks to the berries before looking back to Darkrai

The Pitch Black Pokemon tilt its head up at Drapion before going into the shadow and disappear

Drapion looks to where Darkrai disappeared before picking up all the Pecha berries

The Ogre Scorpion Pokemon soon went away as it was focused on getting the berries to Ken


Golurk, Gabite, Lairon, and Starly were with Ken as some nearby Trainers had come to lend a hand thanks to Starly who got their attention

"this is bad" one of the trainers said as he takes out a small poach and opens it. It had many berries in it as the trainers rummaged in the bag and found no Pecha berries "I ran out of Pecha Berries"

"me too" another Trainer added in as she opened her bag and had no Pecha berries

"let's try to find some!" another trainer proposed as the other nodded

But before they would go and find the Pecha Berry, Drapion came running in

"a Drapion?" one trainer said before looking in surprise as to see Drapion carrying some Pecha berries

"it has some Pecha Berries!" another trainer exclaimed

Soon, the trainers started to mash the Pecha Berries into mush before feeding it to Ken

Ken eats the mashed up berries before swallowing

Everyone waited for the berry to start to take effect and it did as Ken's face started to turn normal

Ken's eyes slowly fluttered open as the first thing he sees is Drapion

"Dra…pion?" Ken muttered out as Drapion cried in tears before hugging Ken

"hey..stop that" Ken said as he smiles a bit to Drapion who cried

"thank goodness," the other trainer said as they were glad that Ken was fine


As everyone was relieved that Ken was fine

Darkrai was looking at them while standing on top of a tree branch

The Pitch Black Pokemon looks at them before disappearing into the shadows


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
