What if Ash Starter Pokémon was Darkrai (slow update)

Ash meet his starter

Ash is lying on his bed sound asleep in his bed. What he doesn't know is that he has slept in. He woke up at 9:00 am and noticed that he was late. "Shit, no way I'm getting a starter this year. Oh well, guess I can check. Doubt there's any there though." Our young hero finally got out of bed and got ready for the day. He checked the time and saw it was now 10:00 and he ran out of his house to Professor Oak's lab. "Sorry I'm late; my mom forgot to set my alarm!" Ash yelled as he slammed the door open. I'm so sure that's the reason why Ash. But I do have a special Pokémon just for you." Said Oak as he handed Ash a strange looking Pokéball." Where black it should be red. And there was a pair of stickers with eyes on it. Ash shrugged and let his Pokémon out, what he saw was something he wasn't expecting.

A strange figure floating in and air looked at him. It had a purple body with a [ink like scarf near its face. It also had a green eye. Ash got a shiny Darkrai as his starter!? Ash looked at Oak with a face of fear. "How did you...how!?" Is all Ash could muster. "He found me and said he would like me to give him to you. He thinks you'd be an excellent trainer since you study a lot about Pokémon and you don't fear his kind at all. Are you scared now?" Oak asked with a grin. "No, I'm just surprised that you're giving me such a powerful Pokémon as my starter." Darkrai floated up to Ash and looked at him what seemed like many hours. He put his hand on his chest showing that he will vow to be his Pokémon. "I pledge myself, as your Pokémon my master." Darkrai said this in a deep echo voice." Ash looked at him in shock. Did Darkrai just speak? Only psychic types should be able to do that such as MewTwo. "You don't have to be so formal Darkrai, though I maybe your trainer, you're also my friend. If Darkrai had a face, he would grin. But, instead he nodded in agreement.

Oak gave Ash Darkrai's Pokéball and 5 empty ones for anything he wishes to catch. Oak explained that Ash's mother already knows what his starter is because they discussed it at one point. "I told your mom that I think you are the only one that could control Darkrai's power and it seems like he really likes you. So be sure to show your mom and let her know that you're leaving. Oh, and take this with you too. It's a Pokédex acts like an encyclopedia." Oak gave Ash the Pokédex with a smile, he had lots of faith in Ash, and he knew that he would top everyone in the Indigo League. Even his own grandson Gary. At this point, he was glad that Ash was late so nobody would be able to see the Pokémon that he got. "Thanks Professor, I'll use it on every Pokémon I see, in fact, I'll use it on Darkrai right now!" Darkrai sweat dropped, he was now kind of scared to be touched by that thing but what he saw made him sigh in relief. He saw Ash point it at him.

"Darkrai, the Pitch Black Pokémon, it is said to appear on night of a New Moon. It causes Nightmares those around it when its signature move Dark Void is used. However, it does not mean to cause these nightmares when it is near something or someone that is sleeping when it never used Dark Void on them. Darkrai are known to be the most feared Pokémon because of this. Its moves are, Dark Void, Quick Attack, and the Dark Pulse. It is level 5 and its nature is timid. Timid makes it so its speed gets a boost when leveling up"

As soon as Dexter finished, Ash looked at Darkrai with a huge smile. I love having nightmares because I like being scared. I'm glad you're my Pokémon Darkrai. "I'm glad you don't fear me because of my nature." Darkrai said to his trainer with happiness in his eyes and voice. "Let's go Darkrai. You get to meet my mother!" Darkrai nodded and went back into his ball/ He hid in Ash's shadow so nobody wouldn't see him and think of him being in a Pokéball. "I love this guy." Said Ash to himself while he was leaving the lab.
