I actually know why Darkrai made the ghost girl have the nightmare. In the more recent Pokémon Journeys and Master Journeys (I can’t remember which one), it is stated in one episode that Darkrai was not able to control its nightmare powers. So Darkrai did not mean to hurt the ghost girl, but due to incontrollable power, it made her fall into an endless nightmare. Something I would like to point out, in the same episode, it is mentioned that Cresselia exists to stop nightmares that Darkrai accidentally does. It balances the two out. Whe Darkrai accidentally harms someone, Cresselia’s there to stop the nightmare. Both Darkrai and Cresselia coexist.

[@The_watcher_0f_YT]

That might be the best fit for the last bit of the theory

[@prestonlogan3808]

And other Pokedex entries say if someone is sleeping near Darkrai, they'll be plagued by terrible nightmares

[@jackfdhunter7036]

Plothole: doesnt that make no sense. If Cresselia exists to deal with his out of control powers, she should be easier to reach out to. But then again, this is pokemon

[@danielsolomon426]

that is it thats the final piece of the puzzle

[@mbcodes18]

This is also mentioned in the DPP manga. A galactic grunt separated from the hivemind is given Darkrai by sird (the secret fifth commander) who he used to share a mind with. He lets it go before we see it due to it causing nightmares. When it's freed from Charon's control, he expresses sympathy for it as it can't go anywhere without causing nightmares.

[@therealaisek4851]

Didn't she used to play with abra on the bridge? Maybe Abra saw Darkrai aproaching and attacked him to protect the girl, making Darkrai feel treathen and attacking him back... He misses cuz the girl was too close to her Abra and stepped in the way... Seems reasonable.

[@gitabhatta9353]

Actually more evidence, one of the moves darkrai can learn is called dark void which is a move only accessible by darkrai, further more the moves description is "a move which when used puts the opponent in a never ending sleep" now the interesting part is it also gives darkrai more health from the opposing Pokémon so I'm guessing that darkrai used it by mistake on the little girl when it was angry or a better reason someone tried to catch it as trainers can catch it for a good team.

[@Gencinnamon245]

And it is scientifically possible to die from having nightmares cause you could have a heart attack So while her parents were gone in search for the Lunar Wing, their daughter was probably having a heart attack or maybe she just passed from oversleeping

[@urgjif]

@@Gencinnamon245 she also wasn't able to eat or drink, or anything to help her survive.

[@randomdude7386]

We know that Darkrai understands she is no threat so why would it target her, unless she involuntarily posed a threat to all pokemons in existance, as the nightmares it causes can be profetic who is to say it cant see what will happen too and by extention saw her by accident ending their world, by something stupid like soldering a capacitor the wrong way on some high tech machine or what I find more likely she was sick when she encountered Darkrai either a Plague that could harm even Darkrai if it breached the species barrier or she had something like Leukemia where your body attacks you, Darkrai tried to help her by targeting her imune system to save her life but in the end it KO-ed her fully so her father went out to get the cure for the nightmares as she passed on

I know this is an old video, but it is stated when you catch Darkrai in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum that it hides away on its island to avoid accidentally inflicting nightmares on others, because it isn't always able to control its powers. However, the island is not anchored to one place, it moves around, and sometimes it comes close enough to inflict people, which is what I´m guessing happened in both scenarios

[@richraichu1370]

oh makes sense ,or abra mistakely teleported the girl near darkrai ;P

[@liamjones5259]

Possible and good outlook on the situation, I never through about that so thanks for expanding my horizon.

[@drakegamer5676]

Or maybe she and her parents entered darkrai's territory, look maybe while they were hanging out somewhere and suddenly they encounterd darkrai and the father must have call his hipno to attack and darkrai must have fell threatened so he use dark void, but accidentally hit the girl and the parents must have rush to Thier home

[@slevinchannel7589]

YEAH BUT WHY?!? Darkrai is not evil, in the end. And why isnt Crecelia actively going to heal such people either way anyway?!?

[@drakegamer5676]

As I said darkrai might have mistaken her as a threat. And crescelia might know telepathy to communicate with the father.

[@pxl9022]

I have a theory (It's a long one, but it's worth to give a try)- This girl is actually Lostelle. An NPC appearing in Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green. When we go to the Two Island in Sevii Islands, we figure out, that the daughter of the owner of the Game Corner has been lost and he wants us to find her Lostelle. So, we go to Three Island and enter the Berry Forest and at the end of the forest, we find Lostelle and she says (while crying) "Please help me" and then we find out that she was kidnapped by an Hypno and we fight him, we can either faint it or catch it, and after that battle, we get back to the Two Island and Lostelle returns to her father. Now, there's a very popular creepypasta about Hypno called "Hypno's Lullaby", which is basically based on this incident and Hypno' pokedex entry, which Mat talked about that in this video. So, in this creepypasta, Hypno kidnaps kids and take them into the Berry Forest and keep them away from their family forever and there's even a song made about and you can find it on KZbin, and the worse part about that song is that it has Lavender Town's music in it. So my theory is that Lostelle was the only survivor from all those children that Hypno kidnapped and kept them them in the forest, and because of nightmares that Lostelle still has because of what Hypno did to her, her family shifted to Unova into that Strange House. And maybe those nightmares has something to do with Darkrai tormenting Lostelle. But hey, that's just a theo.... You know what, I can't do this, only Mat can.

[@randomdude7386]

What if Darkrai tried to be her "therapist" but she got lost in the dream and it turned into a dark void where not even Darkrai could get her out anymore but you needed the other legendary pokemon

[@samueldimmock694]

@@randomdude7386 Seems plausible. "If the only way for her to heal is to confront what happened to her in a place where it can't actually hurt her, and I can create nightmares, then I should be able to help her.

[@laineywashburn531]

YES HYPNOSIS LULLABY

[@BiomasterM2]

To my understanding, it isn't so much that Darkrai actively uses its nightmare powers as a means of self-defense, although they do certainly end up working in that manner in a roundabout way, but rather that it is a _constant_ force that emits from it, affecting everything in the area around it with the horrible, inescapable nightmares it is unfortunately so well known for. (as potentially indicated by its permanently active Ability Bad Dreams, which always takes effect as soon as a Pokémon falls asleep near it, and begins doing damage to them every turn) Darkrai, fully aware of how its presence harms others, actively tries to prevent scenarios like this from happening by staying as far away from other living beings as it can, and as an added countermeasure, it seems that they also try to keep their territory near an area where a Crescelia can be found, since their feathers are the only thing that can save someone once they've succumb to Darkrai's involuntarily active nightmare field. This is potentially alluded to by the only location you can legitimately find Darkrai in the main series games, Newmoon Island, being set up incredibly far from any of the Sinnoh mainland's most populated areas, yet still suspiciously within close proximity to its counterpart, Fullmoon Island, which is both noticeably less barren than its mirrored counterpart that is home to Darkrai, but is where you also just so happen find the Crescelia who gives you the feather needed to save Eldritch's son) So if I were to hazard a guess, I would say that Unova's Ghost Girl wasn't trapped in her nightmare with malicious intent, but rather she happened to come within the range of the nightmare field that was being emitted by a Darkrai who happened to find its way to a then-secluded portion of the Unova region, leaving her as yet another unintentional victim to Darkrai's unfortunate circumstances, much like Eldritch's son (who perhaps was simply sailing with his father before succumbing to the nightmare, and happened to fall asleep when they were in too close of a proximity to Newmoon Island during the trip), but this time without the help of a Player Character to venture out and save them like the case of Eldritch and his son…

The Lumiose City ghost isn't an actual ghost. It's an astral projection of a Hex Maniac who lives in a nearby building. When you approach her actual body, she tells you to be quiet, otherwise she won't be able to hear the elevator. Why does she do that? I have no idea.

Darkrai's ability to cause nightmares is something he cannot control, that's why he is found secluded in diamond and pearl

[@jayce1850]

This is it. Bad Dreams is an ability, not a move. Like Flame Body and Insomnia, it's a part of the Pokemon's natural state. Darkrai might have accidentally inflicted these nightmares while moving from one place to another. It seems like the ability is only super dangerous when the victim is a child or is actively being attacked by Darkrai while asleep. I don't think the ability is even designed to kill, just to intimidate predators or rivals to go away. Edit: The ability is called Bad Dreams, my mistake guys!

[@SangoSon12]

Maybe a pokemon who feeds on dreams, maybe Hypno, was keeping her asleep to feed on her nightmares because nightmares are delicious to them. Or something like that.

[@MM-lv7iy]

@@jayce1850 Well, Mechanically, Nightmare IS an attack, actually. You meant to say Bad Dreams, which is Darkrai's signature ability... which works exactly like Nightmare the move, but weaker. So, you weren't WRONG, per se, but I still felt like pointing out the distinction.

[@tjmann3177]

Also there's a possibility she was a trainer. It's not uncommon for people to try and catch legendaries even if they aren't ready. Because you might never see it again. Just look at Pokemon:I choose you for evidence for that. They chased Entei even though he was way out of their league. She probably chased Darkrai and during the battle, the ability activated defensively. That, or she just happened to be in the vicinity of Darkrai while he was passing through and got afflicted. Since in-game, it gives Pokemon nightmares automatically

[@encyclochemeleon276]

SangoSon12 the only Pokémon who would do that is Munna, however as no Dream Mist is found in that house, and Munna aren’t evil like that, it’s unlikely. Or is strange however hat they didn’t try using Munna to cure her, but those are apparent hard to find

[@f9ea]

Theory: Darkrai saw the Abra, thinking that the girl was being threatened by the Abra, then Darkrai shot the Abra to save the girl, the girl was actually friends with the Abra, so she was sad and fought the Darkrai, so the Darkrai had to defend itself before being caught, then shooting her

Darkrai seems like it's not entirely afraid of people, so it may have gotten close to this girl, and the sailor's son as well. In fear of hurting these children while being aware of its own strength, the pokemon may have chosen to push them away to keep them safe with the only way it knows how. Also, fun fact, Darkrai's name can be split up into two words; Dark, and Kurai. Kurai in Japanese means dark, so translating Darkrai's name fully would be DarkDark. I accept to call it nothing less.

@Pokéstar 321 I mean missingNo is essentially cannon in more fan filled areas. As well alotta people like their ghost stories and creepypasta material. I'd think including her wouldn't be that much of a stretch but oh well.

@@ekimdavis1021 It's not canon just because fans say it's canon, it's canon when the creators say it's canon

So here’s my theory for why darkriy affect these children Basically, children explore more than adults do. They don’t have fear for most things, so what I’m guessing is that they traveled close to a way of getting into the place where darkriy is and the only way for him to protect them to stay out of where he was it’s through the nightmares that he controls!
