Darkrai walked back into the Throne room, with the first note in hand. "Arceus! I need to see Rayquaza, the first clue says he has the next one."
Arceus nodded, "I will summon him. I suggest you prepare yourself to travel… you may need to explore the regions to find the clues."
Darkrai crossed his arms. "I'll be ready."

A few hours later, Darkrai was in his room, watching the Pokémon contests, beauty division. He would occasionally look at the clock next to his bed, and wonder where Rayquaza was, and why it was taking so long for him to show up. A knock came at the door and he got up and walked over to the door, opened it and was met with a small, orange and yellowish-tan Pokémon. "Can I help you?"
The small Pokémon bowed and spoke; "I am Victini! I was sent here on Arceus's request, to inform you that Rayquaza is on his way here, and should be arriving here in about an hour."
Darkrai crossed his arms and looked at the clock. "about time… thanks for the heads-up." Darkrai moved to close the door but Victini stopped the door with its rather small foot, along with saying "ow."
Darkrai looked down at the small psychic/fire type. "what now?" Victini produced a letter almost as big as he was and handed it to Darkrai. "this is a note from your secret admirer, she wanted me to give it to you before you left."
Darkrai took the letter and looked at the outside of it. There was a slight pleasant aroma of some sort coming from it. "uh… thanks…?" he closed the door and went back over to his bed, and opened the envelope, and pulled a pink sheet of paper out, and read it. It reads: "hello, Darkrai… I don't have the courage to tell you this in person yet, but… I love you. I wish nothing more than to be with you. But… I've never been good at facing my fears… I hope you can figure out who I am before I force myself to tell you, because if I did, that would be very awkward. Anyways, I hope you can figure out this mystery of disappearing Pokémon soon! Signed- your secret admirer" Darkrai folded the letter up and placed it on the table in his room. He stared at the note for a few minutes, before whispering to himself. "Secret admirer? I… I'm flattered, but…who?
-One hour later-
Another knock came at the door, and Darkrai opened it, to find Victini once again. Victini bowed again and said; "Hello again Darkrai, Rayquaza is here now. Go to the main hall to see him." Darkrai nodded, and Victini turned to walk away, but Darkrai stopped him, "hey Victini!" Victini turned around. "yes?" Darkrai crossed his arms, "my secret admirer… who is it?" Victini rapidly shook his head. "no no no! I can't tell you! It's a secret!" Darkrai smiled, "oh really? Perhaps I should use force? Like THIS!" Darkrai rushed at Victini, who side-stepped out of the way, before shouting, "HEY! Don't do that!" Darkrai turned towards Victini. "Victini! I challenge you to a battle! If I win you have to tell me!" Victini shook his head, "no! I can't fight you! I have a type disadvantage against you!" Darkrai crossed his arms. "I guess I see your point… but… I need to know who it is! Tell me!" Victini tilted his head to the side, "I could tell you I guess, but that would make me a liar. I told her I'd keep my mouth shut!" Darkrai smiled malevolently. "I could just put you to sleep and enter your dreams to find out, you know." Victini immediately sighed. "All right, I'll tell you… it was Latias." Darkrai's eyes went wide. "Latias? She loves me?" Victini nodded. "yep, she even told me she wants a poster of you for her room." Darkrai chuckled, "that's kind of cute. Thanks Victini." Darkrai floated past Victini and towards the throne room. Victini smiled, "I hope they get together, it rarely happens that legendary Pokémon fall in love. Heehee!"
