What if Ash Starter Pokémon was Darkrai (slow update)

chapter 3

Delia woke up to hearing her alarm and looked around to see if Darkrai was still sleeping but saw nothing but darkness. She got her phone and used the flashlight and headed to the door to go wake up Ash and to see if Darkrai was with him. While she was walking to the door, she noticed that she seemed to be walking in place, so she started running but getting nowhere. After a couple of more minutes and with no effort, she slapped herself in the face a few times and even tried pinching herself to wake her up but nothing worked. She sat on her bed and tried to think of a way to escape but then saw a knife on the floor. She thought maybe if she stabbed her arm she'd wake up. However, once she picked it up she lost control of her arms and noticed they were doing things themselves. She tried to put the knife down but to no arrival. The knife was getting closer and closer to her forehead and with all of her force; she stabbed her forehead and woke up screaming.

She looked around and saw Darkrai wide awake standing next to her. "It was only a nightmare, please try to not make them so scary Darkrai, I had a nightmare of killing myself." Darkrai needed knowing now that he has to try to control his nightmares around sleeping humans. Delia stroked his hair and told him to wake up Ash so she can make breakfast. Darkrai went into his room and saw Ash asleep hanging from his bed. He looked around for something to wake him up with and saw a glass of water. He got an idea and picked it up and hovered above Ash. "Ash time to wake up we got a long day of walking" Ash didn't wake up and it seemed like a Hypno used a Hypnosis attack and put him to sleep. Finally he poured the water on his head. "I told you to wake up but you wouldn't listen." Darkrai told him with the glass still in his claw and laughed at him. "Very funny Darkrai next time you're staying in your ball. Meaning, you're grounded." "Well shit." The two of them laughed and then went to eat some breakfast.

After breakfast Ash made sure he had everything with him in his backpack. He put a couple of games in there like Chess, Chutes and Ladders, and some cards for them to play a few card games before they go to sleep. "Ash be sure to call home and the lab every now and then. I'm sure Oak will have some news to tell you if you do, and call me so I'm not worried that something happened to you and Darkrai." Delia looked down at Ash with a serious look. Darkrai just stood away pretending not to notice what was going on. After all, he was playing Who's your Daddy on Ash's Steam account. "Mom, we'll be fine, Darkrai is legendary. He can take care of us. Don't worry." Ash smiled at his mom and called over his Darkrai. "Darkrai, it's time to go." "But I'm playing Who's your Daddy!" Ash retuned Darkrai to its ball and left with his final goodbyes to his mom. He was now on the road of becoming a Pokémon Master.
