The Real Rise Of Darkrai

A/N: My first Pokemon story, ever on FF. Review please! One chapter every 2 weeks, if plan goes well.

This Fanfic is rated T for very mild swearing, some rude humor, descriptive battle scenes, and smoking [at the very beginning]. Just to be safe, 14+.

"Let me ask you something... have I ever told you the real story behind the ominous Darkrai?" said the mysterious figure.

The man wore a thick black leather coat, with dark jeans and a hunter's cap. He looked as if he lived in the woods his whole life. He had a pipe in his mouth, and was whittling a piece of bark in his hands.

"Be warned, though: this is no mere legend. No, this be the dark truth no one dares reveal... if you are ready, I will tell the tale. Don't come crying to me if you have to sleep with a nightlight on for the rest of your life! You may never look at that Pokemon the same again...

"These series of events happened long ago. Long before anyone even considered Pok mon for battling purposes. In fact, the young man of Veilstone saw these..." He paused as he searched for the words.

"These...events happen and he saw them with the wrong eye. That influenced him to strike down all of the beasts he did. A sad day, but it happened, nonetheless..."

He paused, letting the words sink in. Then he let out a hearty laugh. "Oh, but I digress...

"In the night

In the dark

There's a fight

To tear it all apart

He could hear the cries of the lonely, of the dead, and of the lonely dead. It wasn't but recently that he begun to actually notice these ear-piercing howls into the night air. In a way, they were his only friends, yet he knew nothing of them. They made him feel, almost loved. Yet he knew of no such feelings.

A/N: Really short first chapter, but it is just to see if there is any interest at all. Next chapters will be much longer. Tell me what you think! If I get enough demand for it, the 2nd chapter will be out by February 15th!

I own the storyline. I do not own Pokemon, any of it's characters, names, or likenesses. All cases regarding persons, living or dead, is completely coincidental.
