If Ash got Darkrai as his Starter
Chapter 8, part 2.
Revenge of the Water Mistress in Cerulean City.
He had something different. Once Misty released her Staryu and smiled. The same smile he gave Brock when he kicked his ass. He released a Nidoking. The Nidoking eyed the Star Shape Pokémon and flinched noticing he was on a platform of water. "Nidoking, don't worry about the water, remember our training." Nidoking nodded listening to Ash and knew exactly what to do.
"Staryu, use water pulse." Staryu formed and watery orb and shot it right at Nidoking but was shocked to see Nidoking was standing as if nothing happened when it hit him right in the chest. "I had Nidoking stand under a waterfall for a few hours so it would resist water attacks. Nidoking, use surf." Nidoking nodded and started surfing on the water on one of the floating platforms and stabbed Staryu right in the center of the gem on it.
Misty recalled her Staryu noticing its injuries. "Not bad, but this is my secret weapon. Go, Starmie." With that being said, she released a Starmie. The Mysterious Pokémon looked at Nidoking and got ready for battle. What surprised Starmie and Misty most was to see that Nidoking was being recalled. "Why aren't you using Nidoking, you scared that you're going to lose to a Starmie?" Misty mocked Ash and giggled. "I got something much stronger than a Nidoking. Something that will make you have nightmares for many nights to come." With that, he released his Darkrai and got a paled face Misty.
She's heard of the Mythical Pitch Black Pokémon but assumed they were just a fake tale. She's had many nightmares of seeing this Pokémon wherever she went, but now seeing this Pokémon not in a dream is like a nightmare come true. She had no idea what to do; she was scared to find out what could happen next. Darkrai hovered in place with his arms on his sides waiting for either his or Starmie's commands to be given. Ash made the first move.
"Darkrai, get in close." Darkrai did as what he was told and rushed right up to Starmie. This was Misty's chance to deal some damage. "Starmie, use rapid spin quickly." "Dodge it." Starmie spun around in circles right at Darkrai but Darkrai spun around the attack. "Water gun now." "Darkrai, Ice Beam now!" Starmie fired a water gun but was stopped by the Ice Beam. The Ice Beam was so strong that it pushed through the water gun and froze Starmie while it was in the air. They watched as the frozen Starmie fell to the ground as the ice shattered. They were surprised to see Starmie get up slowly and looked at Darkrai with determination to win. "Darkrai use Focus Blast." "Quick Starmie, dodge." Darkrai fired the Focus Blast and watched as it hit the struggling Starmie trying to dodge. Starmie landed on its back with the crystal blinking. It was all over at last.
Misty looked at what had happened to her so called, 'secret weapon' be defeated like it was simply a rag doll. She recalled her Starmie and walked up to Ash and grinned but was still pale when she saw Darkrai floating next to him.
"How did you get that Darkrai anyways? I thought those things were myths but now I see they aren't. Please, tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone. To prove it to you that I won't tell, I'll come with you and I won't force you to buy me a new bike!" Ash looked at Darkrai, wondering what he should do. Darkrai nodded and basically gave him the 'okay.'
"Well. Professor Oak told me that he got banned from a town in Sinnoh called, Canalave City and was banished by the Legendary Pokémon, Cresselia and was forced to move to Newmoon Island. But after a while, it got tired of being there and then somehow found its way to the lab. The Professor said to him that he was willing to give him to a loving trainer. But after so many trainers it declined being with, it chose to be with me. I guess there's something about me that he really likes. Hell, it can also talk whenever it wants."
Misty stared at Darkrai with a look of horror but mixed of sadness and amazement. She felt sad that he got banned from his home. And amazement that it let itself be caught by someone then given away as a starter. No Legendary would accept that.
"I spied on many people while they were in Pokémon School and I saw something in Ash that really caught my eye. So I told the old man that I wanted to be with Ash when I saw him struggling and I felt like we would be a perfect match for each other. Knowing we both had gone through hard times. I saw him get bullied but I did nothing about it because I didn't want to draw attention and possibly get myself kicked out of this place. I played it safe. I do not mean to give people nightmares when I am just passing by, it's my nature and I really don't mean to cause harm. Unless I'm protecting myself then I do mean harm."
Misty and Ash both looked at Darkrai in shock. Ash was shocked because he didn't think Darkrai had a soft spot in his heart. He thought he'd want to get revenge on everyone and ever Pokémon after what Cresselia did to him.
Misty was shocked because she thought Ash was lying when he said that Darkrai could also talk when it chose to. They both looked at Darkrai with mixed sadness now knowing the true story.
Ash held up his Pokéball and recalled Darkrai. "That enough for now Darkrai. You did great." He said while looking at the Pokéball and then to Misty.
"I'm willing to buy you a bike so come with me. I don't want you to spill the beans by mistake. Now pack your shit and let's go."
After an hour or so, they both stepped outside to see a certain gym leader from Pewter City with a backpack on. It was Brock!
Hey guys, I was looking for you young man. I was wondering if it was alright I can join you on your journey so I can become the world's best breeder. I overheard the story and I too, vow to not tell anyone."
Ash looked at him and smiled. "Come along Brock. Just call me Ash."
Brock nodded. Finally, Ash had some company after a few weeks and was more than happy to have some new friends with him. They both made their way to the Pokémon Center so Ash could heal his Pokémon.
A/N: Hi guys, hope you enjoyed this chapter. It's a lot longer than my other ones because I've been getting a lot of complaints of there not being a backstory to how Ash got his Darkrai. He got Nidoking by training it like he said by standing under a waterfall to resist the water damage. Don't worry Ash will be facing Gary very soon. Not in a battle, but not in a battle, but at a gym.
