The shadow off Cresellia

Chapter 1: the shadow off cresellia

I want to thank Flying Dragonite for my inspiration for this story. Her story "Pokemon the paralyzed planet" inspired me to write this story. It's kind of like a background story of Darkrai. Just like Flying Dragonite I believe that Darkrai isn't completely evil. The question is how did he become like this? This is my theory. I'm also going to write about what will happen to Darkrai after the game "Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky". Now, without further ado, here is the story.

Chapter 1: The Shadow of Cresselia

It was an ordinary day in The Hall Origen. Arceus was watching all legendary pokemon that were working and at the same time made sure there was nothing going wrong on earth either.

He smiled inwardly as he saw that everything was going well. He had done well creating the legendary pokemon as a beacon of hope.

"Too bad that can't be said about all legendary pokemon." He thought as he looked at Darkrai, who was talking to his twin sister Cresselia.

Cresselia was the moon pokemon. She was a sweet pokemon, always prepared to help others.

Unfortunately, when Arceus created Cresselia, he also got her opposite.

Darkrai was the nightmare pokemon and was indeed the exact opposite of what Cresselia was, evil to the core.

AT LEAST THAT WAS WHAT ARCEUS THOUGHT.

What he didn't know was that a part of Darkrai, which in truth no one knew existed, wasn't evil. Darkrai always kept that part hidden from Arceus and the other pokemon he came near. And sometimes, though rarely, Darkrai dreamt of a place where everyone was kind towards him and treated him with nothing but respect.

When he was born he always played with Cresselia, and the two got along fine. But as they grew older the differences between them became painfully clear.

Arceus always acted kind towards Cresselia, giving her everything she wanted. But if Darkrai ever dared to ask for anything, it would only earn him a foul look and a snarl.

After a while Dakrai got used to this unfair treatment. But as he got older the other legendary pokemon also started to act nasty. And to make matters even worse, Arceus didn't do anything about it.

Darkrai's POV

"Why would he? He never wanted me here. I'm no one in his eyes." !

I thought as I tried to pick some oran berries. I was really hungry, considering most of the time the other legendary pokemon made sure there was very little food left for me. Today had been no different. After searching a while I had found a shrub with tasty oran berries, but just as I was about to bring a berry to my mouth there was a flash of blue and the berry was gone.

"Hey! I wanted to eat that!" I said with an angry look directed at Latios, who was currently holding the berry in his hand, a triumphant look on his face.

"And now it's mine! And there is nothing you can do about that!" He said as he popped the tasty berry in his mouth and ate it. "Yum, that was indeed a delicious berry." Latios said with a foul look directed at me. "Maybe I should call the others. They surely wouldn't want to miss out on such a tasty berry."

I stared down at the ground, knowing that he would do it and call the others. If he did, there wouldn't be anything left for me.

"Please, at least give me one berry." I begged. "I am really hungry."

I knew it was useless to beg for a little extra food, but I needed to at least try. Maybe this time I would be lucky.

"Guys!" Latios called, ignoring my words completely. "There's a delicious berry bush over here!"
