I don't own Pokémon Game Freak and Nintendo own Pokémon. If I did own it, then Ash wouldn't suck. Since this is my fanfiction, Ash doesn't suck one bit. In fact, he's smarter.

If Ash got Darkrai as his Starter

Chapter 7

That's how the Brock Crumbles!

Ash smiled and held up the black ball and said with a cocky grin, "Say hello to my starter!" Then out came Darkrai sparkling with that odd coloring. Darkrai hovered above the ground and growled softly. He looked at his target and knew what move he should do. He wanted to use the new move he just learned.

Brock stood there with his jaw wide open. He never thought he'd see a Legendary Pokémon in his gym. What was very odd to him was the coloring on this Darkrai. He found it very odd. No matter what, this was a battle that he needed to win. He wouldn't just let his Pokémon go down like they were just a joke. How wrong he would be at the end of this battle. He just had to use his Geodudes' fighting type moves

Brock got back to his senses and called out the first attack. "Geodude, use Brick Break now!" Geodude charged at Darkrai with his fist glowing hoping to hit Darkrai right in the face. But, something was coming his way. He wouldn't know until Ash called out the attack.

"Darkrai, use Dark Void." Ash said calmly and Darkrai formed a Dark Void and hurled it right at Geodude, whose fist was just inches away from his face. Before the fist landed on Darkrai's face, he ducked in the nick of time and watched as the Geodude fell asleep, trembling in fear. It was suffering a nightmare.

Brock begged. Begged for Geodude to wake up and use Brick Break again but it was no use.

Ash smiled at nodded. This was all his. "Let it rip Darkrai." Darkrai did as he was told, he through a blue orb at Geodude which sent him flying against the wall, there was a crack on his face. The Focus Blast did tons more damage than they were all expecting.

Cassidy had a face of horror; she would never want to go against a Pokémon that strong. Not in a million years. She continued to watch.

Brock had no other Pokémon; his Onix is at the Pokémon Center due to another tough battle. Strongly, against a Pikachu that made it look like a complete joke.

Brock returned his Geodude and congratulated it for trying its best. He looked at Ash and his Darkrai. They seemed to be so in sync with each other. He walked over and gave him the Boulder Badge. "That's the Boulder Badge. It's an official Pokémon League Badge. You'll need 8 to compete in the Pokémon League. The next gym is in Cerulean City. The gym leader there from what I know uses pure water types." Ash grinned and returned his Darkrai to its ball He thanked Ash and left with Cassidy.

Brock watched them leave. The only thing on his mind, watching that boy on TV when the League starts.
