Chapter 3: The First Meeting

Darkrai was startled awake when a knock came at his room's door. He got up and answered the door, and saw a blue version of Latias.

Darkrai stretched himself out as he said; "what's the problem… I'm assuming you're Latios?"

Latios nodded. "Yes, I am. Arceus has called a meeting for all legendary Pokémon, and you're needed there as well, because you are a legendary Pokémon.

Darkrai followed Latios through the massive hallway into the throne room, and when he arrived he saw many, many Pokémon there. Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Rayquaza, Palkia, Dialga, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, Latias and Latios, as well as many others. Just as he arrived, Arceus began addressing all of them.

"Attention, Legendary Pokémon!"

All of them stopped and turned to face Arceus.

"I have called this meeting for a singular purpose, to speak of something troubling. Team plasma has killed a human in their attempts to separate Pokémon from humans. This troubles me greatly, because it means they might do it again." All the Pokémon in the room began to murmur amongst themselves.

Arceus continued; "I therefor ask a favor of all of you. If you should come across any members of team Plasma, if they are doing anything that seems like it could end badly, please put a stop to it."

"They might try to capture these Pokémon if they do that!" Darkrai's voice rang out and everyone turned to him. He continued; "while my trainer still lived, we encountered many members of team Plasma who were boasting about having captured a Pokémon called Kyurem… Someone I do not know freed Kyurem, but the fact remains that team Plasma was in fact able to capture a legendary Pokémon."

Once again all the legendary Pokémon began to whisper amongst themselves. Arceus thought for a few moments, then spoke again; "I see… your point is valid, Darkrai. New plan! Should any of you see team Plasma at work, you are to observe at a distance, and report what they are doing to me."

The meeting was adjourned, and most of the legendary Pokémon left immediately, but Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno and Latias all stayed behind to talk and catch up with one another. Darkrai approached Latios and the three legendary birds. "So, Latias, care to introduce me to your friends here?"

Latias smiled. "Of course! Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, meet Darkrai! He's been through a lot recently…" Articuno nodded, "hello Darkrai." The other two birds said hello and started chatting again. Darkrai joined in on the talk, which lasted at least thirty minutes, then he decided to go back to bed for a few hours. As he left the throne room he was stopped when Latias's voice echoed from behind him. "HEEEEYY DAAARRKRRAAAII!"

He stopped and turned around, only to be crashed into again. He once again helped her off the floor and dusted himself off. "Yes, Latias, what do you want?"

Latias looked over her shoulder, then back at Darkrai. "Do you wanna go get something to eat together? I know a place where these reeeaally sweet berries grow!"

Darkrai smiled almost malevolently. "Like a date then?" he put extra stress on the "a" sound. Latias blushed profusely, but said, "Sure…"

Darkrai was amazed, she actually wanted to go on a date with him?! "Okay then… Lead me to this special place."
