A Midsummer Night's Cure (Part 1: Darkrai - The Dream)/English Script

(Over Fullmoon Island in the Sinnoh region, Team Rainbow Rocket is chasing a Cresselia, led by the Matori Matrix.)

Matori: **AFTER IT!!**

Grunts: **Yes, ma'am**!

(Her grunts nod and shoot an energy cannon that blasts Cresselia, making her fall down.)

Cresselia: **OUCH!**

Matori: **Don't let it get away!**

(The Team Rainbow Rocket grunts descend down to search for Cresselia, who weakly flies away. Meanwhile, on Newmoon Island...)

#####

Darkrai: **Something is wrong...**

#####

(At the Cerise Laboratory, meanwhile...)

Professor Cerise: **Lately, many incidents of nightmares in Sinnoh have been reported. People have been kept awake constantly. It might be Darkrai, the Pitch Black Pokémon.**

Chrysa: **I agree.**

Ren: **It's a Mythical Pokémon with the ability to cause nightmares.**

Nanette: **But Darkrai hardly ever leaves Newmoon Island, though.**

Professor Cerise: **I have a request for all of you. Will you go to Sinnoh to investigate the cause of these nightmares?**

(All the Guardians nod.)

All the Guardians: **Yes!**

Miranda: **B-but what if we have nightmares too?!**

Fluttershy: **Yeah, w-w-what if we're Darkrai's next victims...?!**

Nanette: **Quit your worrying**.

Nicole: **But they do have a legitimate reason for being worried.**

(Twilight then is about to teleport everycreature to Sinnoh, but suddenly a Royal Guard from Equestria barges in.)

Royal Guard: **The Princess of the Moon may have let it go by accident! The Tantabus may be on the loose outside the Dream World!**

Professor Cerise and the Guardians: **What?!**

Fennel (panicking): ***WHAT?!?!***

#####

(At the Juniper Laboratory....)

Cedric: .. **I'll be taking over the lab while you go on this mission.**

Aurea: **No!**

Cedric: **Then who's going to watch the lab and the Pokémon?**

Aurea: **I DON'T WANT YOU TO TAKE IT OVER!**

(Aurea and her father then start to fight.)

Cina: **Will you cut it out?**

Newbie Trainer: **By the way, the other Guardians of Harmony reportedly left for Sinnoh.**

Aurea: **No way! Got to go, bye!**

(Aurea grabs Cina, rushes out of the lab, and teleports to Sinnoh in a hurry. The newbie Trainer just sweatdrops.)

#####

(Meanwhile, at the Nightmare Castle...)

Black Hat: **We have to get our hands on Darkrai and Cresselia before Matori and her grunts do!**

Demencia: **But Team Rainbow Rocket might already have beaten us to them! Too bad we don't have *someone* anymore to help us track her location.**

(Demencia and Black Hat then suddenly start to fight. Event Horizon sweatdrops.)

Event Horizon: **Ugh... Stop bickering, you two! We're never gonna catch them if you keep fighting.**

#####

(Back in Sinnoh...)

Aurea (panting): **Sorry I'm late!**

Officer Jenny (to the Guardians): **None of us have been able to get a good night's sleep lately. We've been plagued by nightmares almost every night, and the incidents have been moving from town to town.**

Marina: **That must mean a Pokémon is behind this.**

Goh: **How else would they be spreading just like that?**

Dragonet (snarkily): **They wouldn't, because obviously it's Darkrai.**

#####

(At the Team Rocket trio's secret base, meanwhile, Matori is calling the trio.)

Matori: **You are to join me on this capture operation at once!**

Jessie: **Seriously?**

James: **Do we look interested?**

Matori: **This operation is a direct order from Giovanni. If you're successful, you may be promoted. Otherwise, I'll find somebody else.**

(After hearing that, the trio immediately perks up.)

Meowth: **We'll do it!**

(Matori then ends the call, smirking to herself.)

Matori: **If I mess up, it'll be their fault.**

#####

(That evening, back with the heroes...)

Chloe Cerise: **I can't get this campfire started!**

Nanette: **Let me help you. Gigi, can you light the campfire?**

Gigi: **Of course.**

(Gigi uses Ember to light the campfire. The heroes then fill a pot with vegetables, some beans, and some tofu with enough for everycreature and Chloe puts it over the fire.)

Chompy: **I'm starving...**

Creampuff: **So am I...**

(Nina, impatient, sticks her face in the pot and tries to eat, only to burn her face. She rushes to the Pokémon Center in a panic.)

Ash: **That was pretty stupid.**

Bianca: **I agree.**

(After it's done cooking, Chloe Cerise passes out bowls of stew to everycreature else who *didn't* get burned.)

Nanette (mouth full): **Zip it or-**

(Suddenly, Nanette gets a strange dizzy spell out of nowhere.)

Marina: **What's wrong?!**

Nanette: **I tog a kraps fo a ekil-nogard s'nomeokP rewop! (I got a spark of a dragon-like Pokémon's power!)**

(Nanette suddenly snaps out of the dizzy spell. Everycreature goes to the Pokémon Center and heads to the dorm rooms.)

Nicole: **I am awfully tired...**

(Nicole takes off her glasses, puts them on the nightstand, and falls asleep followed by Nanette and Marina. In the other dorm rooms, the other Guardians also fall asleep.)

######

(Everyone then reports back to the lab.)

Nanette: **We couldn't figure out the cause of the nightmares.**

Chrysa (sinister voice): **Did you catch any rare or strong Pokémon?**

Everycreature: **Huh?!**

(Chrysa and Ren suddenly whip off their clothes to reveal Team Rocket-like uniforms, even reciting Team Rocket's motto.)

Chrysa: **...Team Cerise blasts off at the speed of light!**

Ren: **...Surrender now or prepare to fight!**

Yampie: **Yampie, that's right!**

All: **TEAM CERISE?!**

(The Guardians suddenly notice they're wearing Team Rocket uniforms as well, with their Harmony Marks, Harmony Gems, and Power Necklaces gone.)

Professor Cerise (evil laugh): **MWAHAHAHAHA! I command an assault with all the Pokémon in the lab!**

Nightmare Moon: **Not so fast!**

Daybreaker: ***We're* going to rule this Multiverse, not you!**

#####

(The Guardians suddenly jolt awake.)

Everycreature: **AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!**

Nanette: **What was that?!**

Marina (panting): **It must have been...**

Nicole: **....a nightmare!**

(Everycreature suddenly notices their eyes glowing.)

Julia (comes in): **I had a dream of Professor Cerise being evil!**

Nanette: **So did I... JULIA, CLOSE YOUR EYES!**

(Please Stand By)

Jim: **Nata-chan, I know it's painful.**

Nanette: **...Jimmy-san...**

(Nanette hugs Jim, comforted with relief.)

Gigi: **Was that just a dream...?**

Casty: **Must have been Julia!**

(Elizabeth slaps her.)

Elizabeth: **ABSOLUTELY NOT!**

Nanette: **Wait... The Pokemon must be close by! Let's go outside!**

(Nicole, Ella, and Elizabeth grab their glasses in a hurry. Everycreature then heads outside, still in their pajamas.)

Sugar: **Lookeey over there! A blackeey ghosteey thingeey!**

(Sugar points a fin at a black ghostly creature floating in the sky.)

Everycreature: **DARKRAI!**

(Darkrai suddenly disappears, but everycreature's eyes suddenly start glowing even brighter.)

Ella: **According to my Harmony Mark *and* my phone, it's three in the morning, so we shou-**

(Magical outbursts immendially happen.)

Nanette: **Aaah!** *Not again...* **AAAAAYYYYYYEEEEEE!!!!!!!!**

Ella: **NOT THIS AGAIN!!**

(Everycreature gets knocked out cold.)

#####

(The next morning, the Guardians wake up and decide to head out. After breakfast in the Pokémon Center...)

Paparazzi cameraman #1: **Hey, look! It's the Guardians of Harmony!**

Paprazzi camerachangeling (snapping photos): **Can we have an interview?!**

Bianca: **Ugh, we've already done an interview earlier this week.**

Masuko Mika: **We'll make it quick!**

Reporter #1: **Please?!**

Reporter #2: ***Pleeaaassee?!***

Twilight: **We're...gonna... RUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!**

(The Guardians ignore them and continue on their way, only for the paparazzi to chase after them, forcing them to run. Nanette has grown absolutely pissed, but manages to find a potential hiding spot. When she looks at her reflection, however...)

Nanette: **WHAT THE?! I TRANSFORMED?! I DIDN'T EVEN GET MYSELF TO WILLINGLY DO SO! AND MY EYES ARE STILL GLOWING!** *Okay, at least they're not too bright...*

(The Trainers quickly return their Pokémon to their Poké Balls, except for Thunders, Elizabeth's Pokèmon, and Dragonet's babies who don't have Poké Balls.)

Julia: **No sign of Darkrai here.**

Goh: **The reports seem to indicate that Darkrai is circling around this forest.**

Elizabeth: **Let's go check it out.**

Pudding (sticking herself out of the Water Pokémon Aqua Pot): **Comeey oneey, Flutteeyshyeey.**

Rainbow Dash: **Yeah, Fluttershy and Miranda, move it! We don't have all week.**

(Fluttershy and Miranda hesitate for a moment, but they nod and everycreature heads into the forest to investigate. Meanwhile...)

#####

(The Team Rocket trio is flying above the forest in their balloon, spying on the heroes and looking for Cresselia.)

Jessie: **Looks like the twerps are also looking for Darkrai and Cresselia.**

James: **If we follow them, we might just be led straight to them while they do all the work for us!**

Meowth: **And if we're successful, I'll finally get to kick that Persian off the Boss's lap!**

#####

(That evening, at sunset...)

Nanette: **Something really strange seems to be going on with Jim, Julia, and I.**

(Nanette suddenly sees Nina about to be corrupted, but she is saved by....?!)

Nanette: \*gasp\* **Victoria-senpai?! You heard?! But...**

Victoria: **I sure did. No, I'm a spirit.**

(Before the two can hug anyways...)

Marra: **Hehehe... Let's see what happens when I perform some dark magic!**

(The Marra shoots dark magic at Nanette, Jim, and Julia.)

(Jim attempts to speak, but only a roar comes out. Nanette becomes Vahirom, Jim becomes the Celestial Dragon, and Julia loses control of her magic.)

Julia: **WHAT IS HAPPENING?! MY MAGIC!**

Marina, Aurea, Elis, and Nicole: **NANETTE!**

Lily, Thomas, Tesla, Evelyn, and Catherine as well as the whole Porter family: **JIM!**

Miranda, Fennel, and the ponies: **JULIA!**

Bubblebath: **What is happening?!**

Dragonet: **How am I supposed to know?!**

(Bubblebath, terrified, Torchics out and jumps inside the Aqua Pot for cover while Dragonet gives him a death glare but does the same.)

Sunflower Smile: **Somecreature fix this mess, please!**

Victoria (furious): **ELIZABETH! *MIRACLE ENGAGE!***

(Elizabeth realizes that another Marra caused the trouble, and transforms out of fury.)

Elizabeth: **PHOTO-BURST... PUNCH!**

(She raises a fist covered in light and punches the Marra with her sub-attack Photo-Burst Punch.)

Marra #2: **NOOOOOO!!! I WILL GET YOU, YOU STUPID WINGED IDIOT, AND YOUR LITTLE FISH TO-**

Glorysia: **Caught you!**

(Glorysia uses her leather belt to capture the Marra. This turns everyone back to normal as a result, but Elizabeth gets dizzy anyways.)

Elizabeth: **Ugh, that was probably...a little...too much...!**

Dragonet: **Are you okay?!**

Miku: **Another Marra hunt.**

Nanette: \*sigh\* **I don't know what happened, but we're gonna need to focus on that glow I'm seeing.**

Nina: **Must be from the forest up ahead!**

Everyone: **Yeah...**

#####

(Meanwhile, the usual villains are approaching the forest.)

Event Horizon: **If we want to capture it, we just might have to battle Darkrai ourselves.**

Black Hat (snarkily): **You better avoid falling asleep, because you're a human.**

(Furious at the snark, the two of them begin to fight, with Demencia getting pulled into the comical beat-up.)

Queen Vera: *Idiots these days...*

#####

(The Guardians, meanwhile, rush to the glow. They see it's coming from the injured Cresselia.)

Nanette: **So that's where the glow came from...** \*sighs\* **I think I might be it...**

*To be countinued...*
