Phantom Nightmare

Chapter 7: Revenge Served Hot

After staying the night and having breakfast on the island, Danny started packing everything up to leave, "Is everyone ready to go?"

"No, there is still something left we need to do," Darkrai informed him.

"What is it?" Danny asked with the feeling he knew what Darkrai wanted.

"You still haven't tried making that Pokefood yet!" Darkrai yelled, "And I'm not going to let you leave until you make it!"

"Do you really think you can stop me?" Danny asked as he wondered if Darkrai forgot he could just turn intangible to get past him? "And did you forget that they ran out of the berries we need to make it at the Pokemart?"

"Yes...No...Maybe..." Darkrai answered not sure how to answer when he just remembered that Danny could get pass him by turning intangible. "But the berries we need grow right here on the island. Plus if you do get past me, you will have to deal with me yelling at you through our mind link."

Danny glared at Darkrai in annoyance, "Fine, but I will get you back at that threat."

"Yeah right, your mind is like an opened book," the Dark type joked.

Danny just rolled his eyes and headed off to find the berries that he needed. Cresselia noticed Danny heading off and quickly flew over to catch up, "Don't let Darkie get on your nerves, he was always picky about what he ate. Oh and since we are going to be hanging out more, call me Luna, ok?"

"Um, ok?" Danny replied a bit surprised about the sudden change of attitude, "You seem quite different from last night."

"Yeah, sorry about that," Luna muttered a bit embarrass, "I guess when I heard about Darkie being kidnapped, I became a bit over protective over the things I cared about."

"I can understand that," Danny told her, "I have an older sister back home that can get the same way as welll." Then he gained an evil grin, "How do you think our dark type friend will take it if I started calling him Darkie?"

"I think he may just become deeply annoyed," Luna answered gaining the same evil grin cluing in on what Danny was getting at.

"Perfect," Danny commented as he kept the grin.

After a bit of gathering berries, Luna and Danny came back to the campsite with Luna carrying a bunch with Psychic and Danny carrying a bunch with an icy bowl he created with his powers. Danny put some of the berries aside to cook with and froze the rest to keep them fresh. With the berries taken care of, Danny took out the cook wear and once everything was set up, he started to following the recipe that was given to him. After what felt like an hour, Danny finished making the Pokefood and when he was about to put them in a bowl, a Tomato Berry floated in fount of him. Danny looked over to Luna who nodded with a smirk, this caused Danny to smirk as he took the berry and squeezed the juice onto some of the food and mixed it up, "This is going to be good."

"What is going to be good?" Darkrai asked as he came over and investigate what was going on, "Mmmmm, something smells good."

"Yeah, I just finished making the food Darkie," Danny stated as he passed the bowl to Darkrai.

"Don't call me that! Only Luna is allowed to call me that..." Darkrai muttered as he took the food.

"Sorry, but I'm going to continue doing so if it annoys you," Danny replied back trying to hold back his laughter.

Darkrai gave the Halfa a look as he tried to figure out why he was trying not to laugh. What was the Halfa finding so funny? Pushing the question aside, Darkrai dug into the food enjoying each bite, but then his eyes went wide. He jumped up off the ground and started racing around breathing fire as he cried out, "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!" Off on the side lines Luna and Danny were on the ground laughing their heads off.

Once Danny saw that Darkrai calmed down a bit, Danny held back his laughter and asked, "So how was it Darkie? Was it good enough for you?"

"Wah da ya u tat?' said Pokemon asked even though he could barely be understood.

"I don't know. Maybe because you were being a bit too picky and bossy? Oh and don't forget about threatening me with yelling through our mental link, I get enough of that back home."

"It not like you could do it better," Darkrai taunted, "I bet your yell wouldn't even be loud enough to annoy or brother me."

With that comment, Danny got an idea and an evil grin formed even bigger then before with an evil glim in his eye, "I wonder if my Ghostly Wail will work through the mental link."

At Danny comment, Darkrai became pale with fear. He had no idea what this Ghostly Wail was, but how Danny said it made it sound like trouble and something he should be scared of. "And what may that be if I ask?"

Danny's grin just grew bigger, "Oh, it's nothing much, it just my most powerful attack."

"How power is it?" Darkrai asked as his fear grew even more at the evil look Danny was giving him.

"Oh, it's just a very powerful unearthly scream that normal people and maybe Pokemon can not reach," Danny answered as he felt how scared Darkrai was and saw how pale he was getting, "Let's just say that it is powerful enough to shatter glass, cause building to clasps and possibly uproot forests."

From hearing how power the attack was, Darkrai became scared for his life and looked as pale as a ghost. He was now regretting ever throwing that yelling threat out at Danny and was glad that he was on the Halfa's side, he didn't want to get a face full of that attack. At seeing how pale and scared her brother was, Luna couldn't help but smirk, "Danny, I think you just officially scared my brother to death," then she gained a thoughtful look, "And I'm not even sure if that is a good or bad thing. Are you sure you are not a Pokemon?"

"I'm sure," Danny answered as he put everything away and put his backpack on, "Now, how about we get going before it gets to late."

"S-S-Sure," Darkrai stuttered as he took off in a blink of an eye as if his life depended on it. It was as if he was trying to get as far away from Danny as he can.

"Is he going to be ok?" Danny asked with concern as he watched the Nightmare Pokemon take off.

"I believe so," Luna answered as she watched her brother leave, "I think he just need some time to let his nerves settle."

At seeing how jumpy Darkrai was a the moment, Danny couldn't help but say, "Boo!" mentally. At hearing the 'Boo!' Darkrai screamed in fight and jumped if possible, a foot in midair. "Yup, I think I just scared the Pokemon of Nightmares," Danny stated sleepy, "Does that happen often?"

"Nope, I don't think he ever been scared this badly before," Luna answered as she shook her head in disbelief at seeing her brother being scared for his life, "Come on, we better hurry and catch up to him. I don't think it would be a good idea to leave the scardy cat alone for long for the stat he is in right now. Who knows what may happen to him."

"Yeah, I think you're right," Danny agreed as he summoned the transformation rings and changed into Phantom, "We better hurry then if we don't want to lose him or before he get scared by his own shadow."

With a nod of agreement from Luna, the two took off after the scared to death Pokemon.

===========================================

Here's the next chapter in Phantom Nightmare! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and hopefully found it funny for everything that had happened in it. I wonder if Darkrai will still be picky about the things he eats after this and if he will ever try to get on Danny's bad side, but a least now, Darkrai knows a bit more of what Danny can do. The next chapter is going to be about Danny having his first gym battle. Who it is going to be against, you ask? Well, you just have to wait and find out.

Well until next time, Flare, over and out!
