As I stepped out of the Pokemon Center, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Excitement. It was as if I'd become the same boy I once was when I started this journey. Can't say it wasn't expected. It's not everyday that one goes after a Legendary pokemon. If all went well, today I'd have a brand new egg to add to my collection. This one however, would be a little rarer than what I'm used to. Still, I shouldn't let myself get carried away. The night was still young and a lot could happen.

Taking a moment think things through, I looked at my Pokétech once more. A few presses of the button and a well known poem appeared on the screen. I must've read it about a hundred times already by now. I couldn't really needed stop myself from reading it again. Partly due to doubts in my assumptions. Partly due to my doubts about my assumptions. Never good when you are this uncertain.

When the fickle lady moon hides her face in despair,
The master of shadows comes, the lord of nightmares.
Close not your eyes or you may never wake,
From the terrible spell his presence does make.
Come moonless night to within walls so steep,
Bring the key from fogged ice to wake his sleep.


I took another moment to further analyze the poem. It wasn't all too difficult to know that it meant one of the many walled cities among Opadekka. The long list of possibilities dwindled down to a short one. Escennia was one such city. It was the "fickel lady moon" part that had me stumped. I knew that it was on a moonless night that I was meant to be find Darkrai.

Putting that aside for the moment, I carried on into the dark street with the dream catcher in hand. With any luck, I'd stumble upon the answer I was looking for. Doubtful. For the moment, I just tried to keep my eyes open and payed attention to my surroundings. A glance or two at the city map in my Pokétech didn't hurt either. Maybe it there was a referenct to a city street or location I was missing.

The ancient city was alive with lights and sounds. Cars roared down busy streets, tires splashed through mud puddles, people on the sidewalk laughed as they made their way to or from a favorite restaurant. Too bright halogens blinded the occasional passerby, yellow street lamps cast a cheery glow on the wet streets, flashing neon signs spoke of beer and good times.

Light pollution turned a partly clouded, star studded sky jet black. The moon though, could still be seen. It was a crescent, a fine sliver still clinging to the far off sunlight. It shared no secrets though, which might light your way, and the trinket, or key, in your hand, did not react to it in any way.

You wandered for awhile before getting tired and finding some convenient bench to take a break. It was natural that you would look at the dream catcher and study it more closely. It was circular in shape, like a typical dream catcher. The hemp webbing that spun a whimsical web across its center was strung with talismans. Each was shaped like a phase of the moon. At the top was a white disk, which had to be the full moon. Moving clockwise and in a spiral pattern all the way to the center were other phases of the moon, gradually shrinking down to nothing. The nothing was at the center and looked like a disk of clear glass.

The poem for the nightmare legend was very vague as to what to do with the key. But perhaps there was something more about the location, and maybe the key itself held some clue as to what to do with it.

Nothing else helpful occurred aside from these simple observations.

"Well... this is a huge bust." I said as I let out a huge sigh.

It wasn't very reassuring when one starts his hunt for a Legendary and finds nothing. Then again, it's not as if it was meant to be easy. Else, everyone would have a Darkrai with them. At least I wasn't out of options. The poem mentioned steep walls which left out most places in the region. Lots of places in fact. It left so little that there was barely a handful of them in existence.

"Okay, steep walls... that would mean that my next stop should be..." I paused for a moment. My mind racing through most city names and locations across the region. Not that I'd been to most of them, but it was worth memorizing what little one could find about them. Especially during something like this. Unfortunately, my mind seemed to pick the one location I was hesitant to visit. "Corporcana."

I was less than thrilled to remember the walled city. The last time I'd visited it, Floyd and me nearly got our asses handed to ourselves by a giant purple cat. A cat with tentacles if I remember correctly. Sickly looking even and evil to the core. Definitely not a fond place to revisit. Still, I had to if I wanted to capture Darkrai. Best not to dwell and lure the other beast out.

With that, I released Tekka from his pokeball. A simple nod sufficed to let the psychic know of my plan. Well... more like for him to read my mind and simply teleport us to the intended destination. And thus... we vanished with a flash.
