Chapter Two: Light-And-Dark
"Once upon a time there were these two powerful and legendary pokemon, their names were Darkrai and Cresselia. These two pokemon lived in peace and harmony on this island called Moon Island, but then something bad happened!"
"Something bad?" questioned a young girl with black hair who looked no older then five years old. "Did somebody die?"
"Err... I don't think so." replied the mom with plum color hair and cheery blue eyes.
"Well, what happened then?"
"Something had upset the pokemon, causing them to fight. The fi-"
"What happened that cause them to fight, mommy?" the little girl asked, staring up at her mom with her mother's blue eyes.
"I'm not finished with the story yet, Shinju." Her mother told her. "Now, where was I? Oh yeah, anyway..."
"So she's hiding in Veilstone?" Shinji asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," comes the dark, evil voice of Darkrai. "I don't care how long it takes, just get her back here. Alive."
"Why do you need her?" Shinji questioned, watching the dark creature in the corner of his cold eyes.
"All part of taking over Full Moon Island." the creature grunted.
After a long, heavy silence, Shinji finally asked, "What does she look like?"
"Don't know. Never saw her, I suspect she would be exactly like Cresselia though. Cool, calm and collected. Either that, bubbly and carefree." Darkrai replied. "I doubt she would be cruel and heartless like us. After all, she has been under Cresselia's training."

"Remember Hikari, don't tell
anybody! It might be Darkrai or the Dark One in disguise! Besides, none of even knows what the Dark One look like, so he could be anyone! Remember, do not tell you secret to anyone! ANYONE!"No need to worry, you got the point across the first time. I sighed, dropping my bags that were about two or three pounds each. (Would have been ten or twenty but Cresselia wouldn't let me)
"How long am I going to be staying here?" I wondered, glancing at my apartment, taking note of how dull and plain it happened to be at this moment.
"Well, at least there's a TV and a computer and a CD player." I thought to myself. Ought to keep me occupied for a while.
I sat down on my corn flower blue couch which came with the apartment. I moaned, rubbing my aching shoulders. I wasn't use to carrying something heavy. With my powers, yes. Muscles, no. I sighed and clicked on the TV. After a few hours of watching pokemon battles and the pokemon league which were currently going on, I stood up and stretched.
Normal POV
"Arceus, what else is there to do then watch these terrible people be terribly cruel to those poor pokemon. I mean, who forces pokemon to fight for their own amusement?" Hikari wondered, completely oblivious to the fact that those pokemon weren't battling against their will.
After drinking a glass of milk, she yawned and decided she needed some fresh air. After locking the door with the apartment's key she headed out, exploring the city.

The Dark One, Darkrai's Child, The Dark Knight, there were millions of names for me the people and pokemon of Full moon Island had come up with to call me. I watched as the full moon rose high above the sky. Tonight was the night. The night where her power and Cresselia's would come one. The night where she took Cresselia's formation. Hm. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to find her after all.
Suddenly, in the sky I saw pink sparks, like sparks from a camp fire. Then I heard a loud splash and a scream. I ran towards the scream, and stopped when I saw a girl around my age, maybe a year younger, soaking wet in the shallow part of Lake Valor. The sixteen year old wore a short denim cutoffs and a black tank top with wornout black and purple sneakers, and a moon-shape necklace with a pink heart in the middle of it.
The girl spotted me and blushed, grumbling something under her breath. "What are you doing here, Kengo?!" she asked angrily.
For a second I thought she was talking to me, thinking Iwas Kengo! "You-know-who sent me to watch after you." he replied, smirking.
"Why couldn't she have sent Denji or Hyouta, or even better, Candice or Gardenia?" she asked herself.
"Actually she did, Hikari. Well, at least those four. Byron, Fantina, and everybody else is busy doing some… paper work for whatever…"
"Well, thanks for knocking me into the water… I'll make sure next time to…" she growled.
"Yeah, well too bad you can't!" the boy known as Kengo teased. "Or else You-Know-Who well get mad!"
The boy turned my way and grinned like the idiot he was. "Hey, you!" I mentally groaned in my head, and began to turn around, hoping to escape before he catches up to me. No such luck. Like I even had any.
"Do you know where the St. La Queen Hotel is?" he asked. "My friend…"
"Hardly." the blue hair girl grumbled.
"Is new here, and is hopelessly lost."
"I wouldn't be hopelessly lost if it wasn't for you and your lousy map, Kengo!" she yelled at him.
"It's your lousy map reading skills that got us lost! Lets not forget that, Hikari!"
The girl was about to speak once more when I spoke up, "Well, I'll be going before you waste anymore of my time." I said rudely.
"Ek! Wait! Can't you at least tell us where the St. La Queen is?" Hikari asked.
"Listen here, annoying girl, I'm new here too so I don't know where the damn hell that hotel is, or I would be there by now!" he snapped.
"Grouchy…" the girl muttered, an annoyed look on her face.
"Ahh! Get away from my sparklers, you stupid Rapidash!" the boy known as Kengo yelled, running after what must have made the pink sparks in the sky.
"Wait, are going to the same hotel too?" she asked. I nodded my head, wishing she would just shut up already!
"Hey, Hikari! I found the hotel!" the annoying voice of the other male yelled. "It's in big red letters! You can see it from here!"
He was right. When I looked up into the sky I saw in big red letter 'St. La Queen Hotel' hanging high above the hotel itself. I started walking towards it, trying to get away from those two annoying people. But once again, luck was not on my side!
"Hey, wait!"
Damn you luck, damn you all.
"So you're new around here too, right?" the blue hair girl asked, trying to keep up with my walking.
"Yeah…" I muttered, starting to pick up my speed.
The girl was literally jogging as she kept up with me. "So where are you from then?" she asked.
I was about to reply, saying, 'New Moon Island' but then I remembered… "Hearthome city." I replied quickly, maybe a little too quickly. What? It was the first name I thought of. She didn't seem to notice. Or care. Instead she just kept on talking, asking me stupid and random questions. I groaned loudly as the annoying girl behind me kept on talking and talking, and the annoying boy, Kengo, or whoever, would once in a while pull her hair or trip her. Arceus, what have I gotten myself into?
The sun was sinking slowly behind a grassy hill, only little light from the sun was left now. Soon enough, only a crack of light was left, leaving only enough light to see someone standing in the shadows. Cries and shouts were heard. Bird pokemon such as Starlies and Staravias were crying out, and flapping their wings to get away from the noise of two powerful pokemon arguing, and arguing, with attacks being thrown every now and then. One of the pokemon was shouting while what sounded like weeping.
The sun had gone completely down now, and it was completely dark. There was only a half-moon in the sky lighting the sky along with millions of stars. But along with the moon and countless stars, was a fire. A dark and smoky fire, blazing across the land, building a wall to protect the more fierce and dark pokemon. There was another fire, too. This one though, was gold and bright, almost white even. It flickered and sputtered out sparks and ashes onto the ground. This fire was a wall of fire protecting the weeping pokemon, the pokemon which struggled to hold back tears that burned the ground like the fire protecting her.
More cries were heard, and the howl of a pokemon in pain filled the air. There were many emotions in this fight, this commotion, in this... struggle and heartbreak. There was anger and sadness, pain and love, heartbreak and wickedness which fouled the air around it. The gold and gray-black fire surrounded them, turning the frost-bitten air around them into hot, hot, hot air. Clouds began to cover the half-moon and rain began to fall. Not hard and heavy rain, but a light rain with a sad and gloomy atmosphere.
Ashes and cinders covered the ground as the fires began to go out by the rain. The pokemon stared at each other, and the dark pokemon continued to say dark and hideous words, filled with disgust and disappointment. The other, more good-hearted pokemon, continued to weep and say things that were equally as hideous and dark. They continued to do so throughout the night, even when there voice was hoarse and could speak no louder than a whisper. Just as the sun came up, the two said a final insult and curse to each other, before disappearing.
"You wicked and evil foul creature, just looking at you can get the bravest person ever nightmares. You are such a horrid creature to look at, children hope never to see one like you or curse they are."
"You precious little doll, you think you're so perfect but you're anything but, you think you help the world but I'll like to see you stop the nightmares from coming."
Neverending Light,
That shines brighter than any star in the sky,
Heart pounding Darkness,
The Darkness which never seems to end.
Turn off the Light,
The Light disappears and darkness takes over,
Turn on the Light,
Darkness gone for the while, Light for the moment.
When the sun sets, and the light vanishes,
The darkness comes out to play, and frighten those who dare,
When the sun rise, and the Darkness is gone,
Light brings the smile, and washes away the fear.
Forget the differences, between the two,
For light and dark will come as one,
Something new will be born and be shed upon,
But forbidden the feeling, for its to rest in piece.
Um, yeah, the last part is pretty improtant. :)
Also don't expect update for awhile now, I have the next update planned out... but its on my brother's computer since he got our old computer after the internet went screwy. So, I'll have to find a way of sending the document from my old computer onto the new computer before there's another update. (Or I'll have to find some other way or just plain remake the chapter which I rather not do)
Also don't forget to vote on my new poll! ;)
