I know what the Japanese translation is, but Dark does not necessarily mean that whatever holds the type is inherently evil. The Dark type indicates one of four things; the Pokemon is nocturnal (Honchkrow or Cacturne), the Pokemon is mischievious or a simple prankster (Weavile or Nuzleaf), the Pokemon is brutal or savage (Sharpedo or Hydreigon), or the Pokemon can harness dark energy (Darkrai or Houndoom). Even Yveltal, the Pokemon who absorbs life energy by spanning its wings, never does anything maliciously. It's purpose is to perpetuate the life cycle so that life can be reborn through Xerneas. There can be individual Pokemon within a species that can be evil, but the species as a whole is almost never entirely evil. The only exception is Spiritomb, who is literally made of 108 evil spirits.

So even if Chara holds the Dark type, that doesn't have to mean Chara is all evil.
