<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Jackie's Torchic got in a powerful and lucky Ember attack which sent it's opponent flying into its trainer and, in a kind of pool table chain reaction, into the apparatus that was holding the mysterious pokémon.  The trainer's fall resulted in the deactivation of the pokémon's prison, freeing it.  Instead of fleeing, the shadowy pokémon worked it's powers upon its tormentors, grunt and pokémon alike.  Davey flinched, fearing that he might also be targeted as an enemy, but the the other young man, Jackie (whom he now saw) and all of their pokémon were spared.  Davey tried to not be frightened, he saw that the mysterious pokémon could make distinctions between good guys and bad, but that didn't necessarily mean that it couldn't change it's mind.<br/>
<br/>
Kraken and Xena came to Davey's side.<br/>
<br/>
Then, the mysterious pokémon seemed to be indicating the humans' pokédexes, so Davey activated his and scanned it....  "Darkrai: The pitch-black Pokémon, a Dark-type." the pokédex played.  "Folklore has it that on moonless nights, this Pokémon will make people see horrific nightmares. It does so by lulling people to sleep. This is how it protects itself from threats. It also uses this ability to scare intruders away from its territory. However, it means no harm. It is also active during nights of the new moon."<br/>
<br/>
Darkrai then presented the trainers with some very interesting looking 'marbles(?)'.  The one it gave to Davey was dark-pine-green color and a yellow stripe in the middle.  The one given to the other young man was a dark blue-green color swirl with a petal pink in the middle.  The last marble was red colored with black in the middle, much like the colors of Darkrai, and it was given to Jackie.  While Davey had learned about some legendary stones and artifacts in class, these were like nothing he had ever known about and he knew that sometime in the probably near future that he'd be going to a library to study up.<br/>
<br/>
Then Darkrai actually spoke in human words to them.  This was also something astonishing as almost pokémon, with exceptions, could not.<br/>
<br/>
"Th-thank you, Darkrai," Davey managed to say, with a little awe in his voice.  "I'll try to be worthy."  Then he asked, "How are we supposed to use them?"</span></span>
