He is muttering something... “DAR... DARK...is watching...me...”

Until the releases of Black & White, Pokémon names were always written in all capital letters. The first time through for this message, they probably didn't realize this character was muttering the name of a Pokémon, Darkrai, so it was fixed for the final release. This quote is from the boy who's having a nightmare as part of the Cresselia event.
