"Burning through origin power!? For a promise...?"
Yong froze as he watched the Darkrai ahead surrender itself completely to darkness. Its presence surged again, actually breaking through the blockade formed by his Darkrai and Metagross, and even trading blows head-on with Swampert!
Darkrai had always been one of Yong's favorite Pokémon!
In his memories of his previous life, that unforgettable battle against the twin gods of time and space in Alamos Town had earned Darkrai enormous popularity!
Cool! Aloof! Powerful! Unyielding! Kind!
Though the Darkrai in the movie might have been a true Darkrai with a divine office, which allowed it to briefly contend with Sinnoh's twin gods of time and space, that did nothing to diminish its many outstanding qualities and abilities!

With the power of Shadow Power! Become a true god!
That iconic two-against-one battle had undoubtedly been Darkrai's crowning moment!

Nature Power ranked above origin power, and it was a realm Jupiter's Darkrai had yet to reach... perhaps once it reached that level, what Yong and the others faced would be a true Darkrai?
Across from them.
Darkrai's figure looked hazy and unreal. Yet Jupiter, seeing its condition suddenly recover, was still laughing at Yong with a trace of madness.
"Shiyan Yong!
