Story
Darkrai is being controlled by the evil Team Zamrat to become its true, terrible form Darkrai-Primal, a form as strong as Arceus, which is what it was before it became good. Darkrai-Shadow is its in-between phase, a phase as strong as Kyurem. Darkrai is giving the region of Oneira nightmares. Cresselia knows of the ancient story of how Darkrai's Primal transformation energy was sealed into a stone. It informs the player of this, and warns the player that it must not let Darkrai transform into its primal state. Zygarde only knows that Darkrai is gathering a tremendous amount of energy, and picks up its scent near the beginning of the story when Darkrai is seen in an Onerian town. I haven't come up with a reason why it is in the Onerian town. It may be carrying out a mission of Team Zamrat.

Zygarde and Cresselia help the protagonist along the journey. Cresselia joins the protagonist and opens up portals to and from the Shadow World, the land where Darkrai grows in power by absorbing energy from the dreams of Pokemon and people. At one point, Cresselia will open a portal for the player and Zygarde to go through in order to battle the seven original Ultra Beasts and Necrozma. Zygarde will be after Darkrai throughout the story.

Necrozma and the Ultra Beasts are trying to harvest enough Dark Energy to enable Darkrai to transform; at least that's what the protagonist thinks. The protagonist's rival is the son of the leader of Team Zamrat. He will be evil but will eventually become good after learning the extent of Darkrai-Primal's power. Salamence Apocalypse form, the dark dragon of the Apocalypse, is the secondary antagonist, and serves as the right hand of Team Zamrat. Team Zamrat is a cult that worships Salamence-Apocalypse. Yveltal is on Team Zamrat's side, wanting to bring about the Apocalyse so that it can harvest the life energy of all affected by it. Xerneas is unaware of the rising threat. Arceus does not interfere because it knows of the prophecy of the protagonist, and its outcome. This is implied.

Necrozma tricks the player into defeating the Ultra Beasts, who are actually the key to unlocking Darkrai's true form. They are the seven guardians of the passage to Giratina-Origin, the guardian of the Darkstone, the stone that transforms Darkrai-Shadow into its ultimate form. Dialga and Palkia do not interfere because they know the outcome as well. This is also implied. Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are not aware of the rising evil. Necrozma is the evil trickster, tricking the protagonist jnto battling it because they think it has stolen the Darkstone, when in reality it is just a stone given dark properties by Necrozma's magic, while Darkrai-Shadow acquires it and transforms into its Primal form.

In the end, the protagonist battles Darkrai-Primal as soon as it is awoken. The protagonist wins the battle, stopping Darkrai from taking over the world.

Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza do not interfere because they do not care.
