"Mom, I'm home with my new Pokémon, come say hi!" Darkrai stopped hiding in Ash's shadow and looked around from where he stood. He seemed to be in deep thought since his pink scarf was in his face; you really couldn't tell all that well. "I'm coming dear, don't worry." She walked in and saw the shiny Darkrai and looked at it with a confused look. "Ash what's with that Darkrai's coloring?" Ash's mom asked her son with a little bit worriedness in her voice. "It's not sick is it? Oh, your poor thing." Delia walled up to Darkrai and took him by the hand and set him on the couch looking at him closely to see if anything was wrong. "Mom, nothing is wrong with Darkrai, it's just a very, very, rare kind. It's a shiny Darkrai." Ash told his mom hoping she would give Darkrai some space. "Oh, like that Rattata we saw dear?" She was talking about the Rattata they saw that was covered in dirt. "Mom...it was covered in dirt. It wasn't a shiny. A shiny Rattata is a goldish color." Delia wasn't even paying attention at this point and was stroking Darkra's hair.

Darkrai gave Ash a look hoping it would be over soon. "Sorry Darkrai, when mom is like this there's no telling when she'll leave you alone." Darkrai signed and starting to get up himself and explore around the house looking for a spot to take over for himself. "Mom, we're going to be leaving soon, so I came to say good bye and to show your Darkrai." Ash hoped that nothing bad would go wrong but knowing his luck, something was coming. "Ash Ketchum, you are not leaving this house until tomorrow morning so Darkrai can get used to it here." Ash at first hesitated but then thought it would be a great idea for that to happen. Darkrai is new to the family and he's sure to find his own place to sleep. (If he even will sleep that is.)

After dinner and night fell, Darkrai was looking for a spot to sleep and went from room to room and saw a corner that he liked in Delia's room. Delia saw him and smiled. "You like that corner? It's all yours I don't see any use of it." She told Darkrai as he looked at the corner. After a while he looked at her in the eyes in deep thought. After another 5 minutes his eye flashed and hovered around the corner before lying down. Delia went to Ash's room and told him where Darkrai would be sleeping and surprisingly he seemed alright with it. "I'm just looking over some training books I kept when I went to the Pokémon Mastery classes at school. I was the best student in the school after all mom" This was true when Ash went to school he was the top student and the most popular there.

An hour has past and Ash was the only one awake. He was still looking over some of the background of Darkrai and their nature. You could say he was quizzing himself to see if he remembered anything that he researched. Knowing the smarty pants he was, he did. After a few more minutes he finally went into his bed and fell asleep with his alarm set. Tomorrow was going to be one long ass day of walking.
