Pokemon Shadow Unit: Nightmares

I used to be normal, I used to be innocent. But now, I'm just a monster

You wish to know my story? Fine. But you won't like it in the end.

Who Am I? ................ What was my name? It's been SO long. I don't remember everything. Now I remember! My name is SP-142: Shadow Lucario. That was my name. Shadow Lucario? Let me Explain. From the begginning.

There is a region called Orre. For a time, there were no wild Pokemon, and crime ran rampant. Among the lowest of the low was Cipher. By closing the doors to a pokemon's heart, they turned them into soulless fighting machines called Shadow Pokemon.

Cipher didn't do this to me though. They were put put down twice, but someone stole the data, and created a new organization. They started the production of new Shadow Pokemon.

When I hatched, I was born in a laboratory, surround by Scientists. I was then captured, and quickly went through painful genetic expirements. It was painful enough to remember it, despite my age. The engineering ended after a week, and I started to age rapidly, reaching maturity in 10 Weeks.

In this time, I was fed many Vitamins, and learned many techniques in this time. I learned the moves Blaze kick, Sky Uppercut, Dual Chop, Mind Reader, Aura Sphere and Razor Wind. (Normally a Riolu would not be able to learn Aura Sphere, but my genentic engineering changed that. As for Razor Wind, they used a disc like device they called a TM).

I was thrown into many battles against other pokemon. I battled countless pokemon, from subtle normal types to deadly dragons. I won most battles, but as soon as one ended, another would start. After long days of battle, I was recalled into the spherical device they called a "Pokeball"

This time wasn't all bad. The time I didn't spend fighting, I spent with other young pokemon in an Artificial enviroment. Those others were a Buneary, a Togepi, an Elekid, and a Tyrogue. The one worth mentioning the most is Buneary. All of the Pokemon I lived with were my friends. Buneary was always cheery, despite the fact we were imprisoned and forced to fight every day. Near the end of those ten weeks, we had a conversation that changed my life. I had just finished my battles for the day, earlier than normal. She had too, so no others were there.

Buneary:You look terrible.

Riolu:I went up against a Metang. The're pretty tough.

Buneary:I'm just glad the fighting's done today.

Riolu:Hey Buneary?

Buneary:Ya.

Riolu:Do you think there is more to life than this?

Buneary paused for a second.

Buneary:I haven't told anyone, but I wasn't an egg when I came here. I remember having a family, but not much else.

Riolu:What's a family?

Buneary smiled.

Buneary:It's people who love eachother,

Riolu:What's love?

Buneary giggled.

Buneary:It's like friendship, but stronger.

Riolu: I don't think I'll ever understand.

Buneary gave me a small kiss on the cheek.

My face lit up like someone used Flamethrower on me. I thought she had used Sweet Kiss on me. But when I realized I wasn't confused, I was confused in another way.

Buneary: You'll get it someday.

Those final weeks went smoothly.

After that.........

The Scientists came in, much later than normal.

Scientist A:You've completed part one of your training.

I could feel his emotionlessness.

Scientist A:But you need to return to the wild to regain your ferocity and primal instincts. You will be going to the Lonely Forest, a completely uncivilized, wildly overgrown super ecosystem filled with our other expirements. We hope you make it, because you're all are outstanding specimens.

With that, we were retrieved into our pokeballs. I saw the others, they were as worried as me. What's That? How were we aware of what was around us? I've heard that some people think pokemon aren't conscious when their Pokeballs. Untrue. The outer shell of a pokeball is slightly transparent, allowing humans to see the pokemon inside. Pokemon can do so to, as we are still conscious in that state.

After a while, we were put into a forest, and it was very dangerous looking indeed. As the scientists dissapeared, I looked around. Buneary, Tyrogue, Togepi and Elekid looked full of despair like nothing else.

I spoke up. I couldn't bear to see them this way.

Riolu:Stop acting like this is the end! If we work together, we will make it!

Buneary was the first to perk up, as usual.

Buneary:We can make it. C'mon guys.

Togepi:Yah!

Elekid perked up next, windmilling his arms generating large electrical pulses.

Elekid:LET'S GET GOING.

Tyrogue:If I'm gonna die, I'll die fighting a pokemon 5 times my size like a Tyrogue should.

With that, we started our six weeks of attempting survival. We thought Pokemon after Pokemon, obstacle after obstacle, and we overcame each of them. After what seemed like years, we realized two things:Are aging slowed down, and that are battles became much more agressive.

Eventually, it happened. A part of almost all pokemon's life:Evolution. Tyrogue evolved into Hitmonlee. We as a team greatly benifited by that, due to Hitmonlee's super agility, and the ability to carry each of us at once should the need arise.

Then Elekid became a killer Electabuzz. Almost no water or flying types would come are way. His strength was even greater than Hitmonlee, but Hitmonlee still ruled in agility and speed.

Not much later, all of us heard really high pitched noises. Although Hitmonlee said he wasn't in too much pain, and Electebuzz said it wasn't unbearable (albeit still hurt like a Hyper Beam), me, Buneary and Togepi were on the ground writhing with seering pain. Hitmonlee took us to our shelter, and Electabuzz guarded us while Hitmonlee got berries. Although noone attacked, we did however prefer that pain over this one. After half a day of pain, two things had happened. First, I knew I would NEVER eat a Wiki berry again. Second was why the function of the mind murdering noise was there.

It was to force us to evolve.

Buneary was wondering if maybe her Heal Bell technique would heal us and releive our pain. I said it was worth a shot, despite my doubts. But knowing the pain was abnormal, I thought a may work. Buneary grabbed my hands, and just before she used the technique, I felt the sensation that was.....almost impossible to describe. My body became almost numb, and then felt hollow with a current of air. Then I felt pain. I started to glow. Buneary's face lit and she started to glow. The glow became brighter and brighter, until we were glowing sillouettes. We morphed back and forth between forms faster and faster until it stopped.

We had both evolved. The first thing are new eyes met were eachother. During a breif moment that seemed like forever, we looked at ourselves and eachother. I had become a Lucario and she a Loppuny. After a moment like, I thought about here over and over. I felt what Loppuny told me she said was love.

I looked over at Togepi, or should I say Togekiss. She had evolved twice. I glanced out of our now cramped shelter, and saw that Electabuzz had become a mucsley Electivire. Hitmonlee sarcastically stated this.

Hitmonlee:They grow up soooooo fast.

The 5 of us became more and more like a family as time went on, according to Loppuny. We all agreed on that. I myself had learned Psychic and Dark Pulse and Extremespeed, and now I felt the power of aura. Aura is the lifeforce surrounding all things, and Lucario had the natural ability to sense it and control it. My power once again increased to a great level. I could get used to a life like this. After a while, I had almost forgot what my time in the lab was like. It had been so long. It was like it never happened. The radio waves had stopped. Battles still raged on. Then one day we all had the strangest urge to go to the edge of the forest. When we got close enough, I used my Aura to sense for life. It was the scientists. I told everyone, but we still continued anyway. Togekiss said that this might be because of the fact the Scientists were are trainers.

We finally got to the end of the forest. I saw the Scientist, still emotionless.

Scientist A:I knew you five would survive. Good. RETURN.

We were recalled into our pokeballs. But this was different. I felt sleepy, and I fell asleep with seconds of of being retrieved. This is were it became the nightmare.

I woke up back in the lab. No wait, It was a part I never saw before. It had containers of of very small sizes with a blackish-purple, thick, translucent liquid in them. I closed my eyes, and saw that the liquid was of a very dark aura, the exact same as Dark pulse, except much stronger. There was a computer, with words such as "Shadow Rush", "Hyper Mode", "Reverse Mode", "Purification", "Time Flute", "Cologne", "Purification Chamber" and "Relic Stone"

I then realized I was in a insulated glass chamber. I didn't think of struggling to get out. 3 Scientists walked in. One was the one who met us at the forest.

Scientist A:Commence Heart Closing Process.

He typed in something on the computer. I was instantly injected with something into my back. I felt faint. I saw one of the tubes become drained. Then a green gas filled my tube, and an oxygen mask covered my face, and tubes were soon attached to me.

I passed out.

After that, I felt myself falling, falling into a whirlpool of darkness. I felt the darkness strangling me. I started to bleed out of my hands, chest, and mouth. I tried to breath, but I was bleeding to much. Just as I felt I was going drown in my own blood, I stopped bleeding. I took in a breath immediatly, but I started to choke on the tainted air. After the pain of choking over and over, I felt that pain slip away, and it know felt like I was swimming through, warm, ultrathick, semisolid liquid. The final part of my nightmare was a scream. I knew the voice, the pokemon's cry. But Who was it? Hitmonlee? Electivire? Togekiss? Loppunny? I couldn't tell.

Scientist B:It seems the proccess is complete.

Scientist A:Finally. After years and so many failed expirements, I have surpassed almost anything Ein or Lovrina could ever create, and a shadow pokemon that resists all forms of purification, even the Purifaction Chamber. Something even XD001 could not!

XD001? Shadow Pokemon? What on EARTH was he saying! What is Shadow pokemon? Did he mean Dark Type? Ghost Type? I was Fighting and Steel Type!

Scientist C:I'm awakening him.

With that, my eyes opened. I was sleeping in that same glass tube, filled with that blackish purple liquid. surrounded by a dozen scientists, all waiting patiently for my awakening, watching me. The liquid drained, and I awoke.

Scientist A:Return

I was retrieved into my pokeball.

It was like at the beggining of my life. I was thrown into countless battles. But something was different. I wanted to fight these pokemon. I wanted to savor there pain. I wanted to beat them senseless, hear there cries for mercy! I even had a new move. Called Shadow Rush, it was super effective against all my foes. I saw my Aura, tainted, black. Imbued with evil. I was a Shadow Pokemon. The door to my heart was vacuum sealed shut. I was heartless.

Let me tell you what being a Shadow Pokemon is like. You want to scream in sheer terror, but you cant. You want to feel happiness, but you only feel malice. You want to hurt others. You want to feel their fear. Use it to season your food. You want to see them bleed. You slowly and painfully feel your will being ripped from you.. But the worst part is that you know that your become evil. You feel your blood turn to acid as it runs under your veins. I felt that pain, and I wanted to scream.

But I Couldn't.

Scientist A:........Lucario........

Lucario:What

I talked with telepathy. It was the only way I really communicated.

Scientist A:I have to thank you. Your success will lead to a new army of Shadow Pokemon. And why so grumpy?

Lucario:WHAT? Can you understand me?

Scientist A: Your telepathic powers have exceeded expectations. You can now communicate with humans, and speak with others from miles away.

Lucario:I don't care, I want to fight.

Scientist A:You will. Except this time, it will be against other Shadow Pokemon

More blood. Good.

I had become more and more malevolent. Acid turned to Acid and Fire. I started to forget about my "Family". I forgot my feelings for Loppuny. but one thing remained. I felt a small tingle where Loppuny had kissed, back when she was a Buneary. But I just dissmissed it, forgetting anything about my former "life".

I had a battle against several normal pokemon. As normal, when I used Shadow Rush, they went down like a cannonball through a sheet of mica. BORING! I wanted blood, but I wanted a challenge also!

Then I saw the next pokemon. An Aggron. But this one had a purple-black aura surrounding it. That was a Shadow Pokemon! I was ordered to use Shadow Rush. I smashed into Aggron, expecting it to be smashed into the wall, but it resisted. I immediatly put the peices together. Shadow Pokemon must resist Shadow moves. Aggron then landed an Earthquake, wounding me signifigantly. I countered with Aura Sphere, and peices of Aggron hide flew everywhere as it fell to the ground bleeding everywhere.

The next was Altaria. It fell to the ground after a Psychic and Razor Wind combo.

Finally, the next was a Tangrowth. Razor winded its arms off, then I set it on fire with my mighty Blaze Kick. It started to beat on it with Shadow Rush, knowing it had already fainted. I fell a few feet as it was retrieved.

I WANTED MORE!

I kept fighting. My foes, Shadow or not, just crumbled like rocks after Rock Smash. I just wanted a worthy opponent. Whether what hit me was a weak Rock Throw, or a powerful Overheat, I felt no pain. Even the pain of being a soulless murderer was replaced by darkness and insanity.

But, I still felt a tingle, on my cheek. I can't remember what did it? Was it a Sweet Kiss? A Lovely Kiss? No. It was nothing.

Just Like what ever opposed me.

Time passed, maybe another 10 weeks. Like I noticed. I fought more and more Shadow Pokemon, and none proved a challenge. But no matter how many I smash against the the wall, or how many I drive to the ground, I still want MORE!

It was after some time, that things started to become......there is a word to describe.......I just don't know it. Complicated maybe? I had wondered my way into the central lab by pure accident. During a feeding session, I had noticed the scientist had left. I don't know why. I used my Psychic to open the steel door keeping me in. I wondered my way into a lab room. It was so musty, but obviously someone had been using it recently. I found a journal on the a desk. I decided to open it. I can read human handwriting, to an extent. But this was just messy. Captioned with a yearless date 'July 20th'. I started reading.

''Cipher is dead. Forever It seems. We thought that with Wes gone, the recapture of another three legendary pokemon, and the Impurifable XD001, we thought we could not be stopped. That infernal child, just as bad as Wes. There is still hope, even with Greevil and Eldes gone. Ardos has turned to me. We have some remaining Shadow Pokemon Data.''

I turned some pages. I was interested and bored.

Oct 23

''I had found all the other former Admins, and we started work. With Lovrina and Ein, are progress will advance without stopping. We will create Shadow Pokemon that are stronger and super-resistant to purification. although they will still pale in comparison to XD001.''

''The inthinkable was just told to me. Michael purified XD001! But, alas, Shadow Pokemon were unstable from the start. Hyper and Reverse Mode must be dealt with in the new Shadow Pokemon. Or improved.''

I was still so gone that that this meant nothing.

Feb 5

''We have recruited many scientists, some from Team Rocket, other from Team Galactic. In time, are genetic alterations to Pokemon will create perfect soldiers. We even had technology stolen from Team Dim Sun, although permenatly damaged.''

I went through the entries till I came to one that seemed interesting.

April 3 

''The genetic alterations of 5 pokemon have proven to be the most suitable for battle, and we cannot find anything better. We have it saved on many areas. These five will return from Lonely Forest in a week. They have evolved to their highest forms. The most promising will become a Shadow Pokemon first. We perfected the proccess with weaker pokemon, such as Darumaka.''

If they were that strong, I desperatly wanted to fight. Yes, I was that drowned in darkness. Even the next was not enough to knock me out of it.

April 13

''Lucario has completed the proccess! Soon, it will become the field leader of are armies. Once we have created enough Shadow Pokemon to arm a Linkshell, we start are first attack. We just need for Lucario to adapt to his new power.''

I wanted to fight this Lucario. Maybe If I beat him I would take his place. All the Pokemon I would fight!

It was a week later that I started to think very strange thoughts. Did I really need the scientists? They gave me food, although that was hardly neccessary. My aura could sustain me. Water was needed in small amounts. The pro that gave me infinite reason to stay was the bloodshed. Even if it wasn't enough.

I should have broken away then.

It was time for a battle, and the scientists said it would be my final test, and my opponents would be each as strong as me. My excitement was insane. I wanted to savor every last drop of blood! My opponents would fall, and I would rise!

The battle started. My first opponent had a clear type advantage. It was a Shadow Hitmonlee. The battle started with Hitmonlee using Rolling Kick. I caught it and threw it towards its trainer. It charged at me, preparing a Blaze Kick. I countered brutally with my own, kicking its face, burning it, and smashing the concrete under the stadium, and using a combo of Psychic to attack Hitmonlee's mind AND launch the concrete as sharpened deadly missles. Hitmonlee was recalled with horrid bloody cuts.

Next was a Shadow Electivire. A perfect test to my physical strength! I launched Aura Sphere after Aura Sphere, burned with Blaze Kick and then continiously smashed it into the ground with Psychic over and over relentlessly until its trainer was forced to recall it. I was still exhausted from the Fire Punches and Giga Impacts, but who cared?

I loved every bit of this carnage, and I didn't want it to stop!

Next was the toughest foe so far. A Shadow Togekiss. It flew in the air, and struck me over and over with Aura Sphere and Air Slashes. I maneged to Blaze Kick it with the used of wall jumping. I then dive bombed it with Shadow Rush. Despite how ineffective it seemed, I was at the ground. It started using Recover.

Shadow Lucario:NOT A CHANCE!!!!!

I dived bombed it with a Psychic enhanced Blaze Kick. I could hear then bones cracking. MORE!!!!. I started charging Razor Wind. But something felt slightly wrong. Had I met these pokemon before? Of course not. Why would I be beating them senseless?

Shadow Togekiss:Lucar....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh.............uhhh......

She was cut off by my Razor wind smashing her into the wall, cratering it. I assumed that she was about to say my name. If she had known me before, she must be unimportant, I thought. Surely, I would have remembered!

She was retreived. The enemy trainer replaced her with her second to last pokemon.

Lopunny......

I was so lost in the ever binding darkness that what happened next was.........there is no word to express my pain.

The battle started with her using Subsitute. I had to break it. I fired an Aura Sphere, but it didn't break the substitute. I realized she performed Cosmic, having her Substitute survive my Aura Shpere. I was then treated to an enraging treat:My own Aura Shpere, properties and all, just missing its destructive power (yet still hurting) in my face. I was then followed by many more.

She used Mimic! SHE USED MIMIC! Now I have a Substitute AND my own attack at my face! Enraged, I attack the Substitute, using Blaze Kick, hoping to get a critical hit or burn, and to my luck, both worked. Yet, then pain surges through my body as Lopunny hits me with Focus punch.

This was fantastic! I've never once feeled so much pain! This will be great. I can't wait to feel her blood on my hands! I MUST beat her! Besides, I NEVER lose! EVER!

As my legs buckle, I charge up Razor Wind, and that Substitute broke. I watched as it shattered, and it mirrored my I had for her death. But then she created yet another Substitute. Then I'm hit with Shadow Rush. What.....................Why?..........

Shadow Lucario:AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!........

I was hit with Last Resort. I was thrown into the wall. I felt a bone somewhere snap as I hit it. The wall cratered. Now, I was the one Smashing into the wall. I got myself out with Psychic, and then Blaze Kicked the Substitute in Chest. It broke from the damage.

She had already charged another Focus Punch. I was so injured that I actually beleived I might lose. I had to plan this. She had already created yet another Substitute. I knew this would be her last, because this was her third, and she would be too weak to generate another.

I jumped off the wall, and hit the substitute with Blaze Kick. It stumbled back. Already three Aura Spheres had struck me. I sliced at the substitute with Dual Chop. The first hit was a successful critical hit! That broke the Substitute! It split into fours, which each part shattering.

I smiled Maliciously!!! Her true form was charging up a Focus Punch. Dual Chop connected, and this broke her concentration, making her legs buckle. This gave me another hit.

I used Aura Sphere. A direct hit at point-blank range. I could sense her Hit Points were low. Very Low. She coughed up blood. Her Dual Chop wound had left her blood on my hand. I licked it, savoring the sensation of how much would come out after the next hit........

At this point, the adrenaline in my body was so great that all my wounds didn't hurt. The only pain was the tingle on my cheek. I could feel it stronger than ever. I pushed it to the back of my mind.

My Shadowy aura became more violent. I wanted to use Shadow Rush to finish this. I started with my great speed. I started Shadow Rush, and just as I charged into her, it happened.

I looked at her eyes.

At that moment, my life, my ENTIRE life started to flash before my eyes. From the painful genetic expirements to the times with my four friends to my moment with Buneary and my times in the forest, my evolution, everyone elses evolution, the expirements that turned me into a Shadow Pokemon, the battles, the journal, Hitmonlee, Electivire, Togekiss, Lopunny.

But the one scene that played over and over was one Buneary kissed me on the cheek.

I then became fully conscious of everything. What was I doing!?

What came next was the worst part of my nightmare. I smashed into Lopunny, knocking her to the ground. She coughed up even more blood. I gasped in horror at what I just did. I got to the ground, by her side. I knew she wouldn't make it. Her aura was too weak for me to help her.

Shadow Lucario:Lopunny! Lopunny! No....No! NO!

I started crying, every tear landing on her bloody fur. I had killed the person closest to me, my best friend, and the person who cared for me most. I knew I was helpless to save her now. As I cried, I remembered that Lopunny once said a that when a Pokemon cries, there Tears bring life. But they couldn't help her.

Because a monster's tears can't do anything. Shadow Lucario:Please....Please forgive me Lopunny.

I was crying so hard that my voice was extremely hoarse.

"I....I forgive you.........Lucario......

I was shocked. She was alive, even if was for a few minutes at most. I was glad we could have this last talk. But I couldn't stop crying. I wouldn't stop crying.

Lopunny:I forgive you Lucario. You didn't mean it. Your eyes were blinded by darkness, and now that they have tears in that place shows that you really are sorry.

Shadow Lucario:Thank you. I....I....really understand what love is now. I cause what people say is true about.....not *sob* knowing what you have until *hic* it's gone.

Lopunny:Don't cry Lucario. I might not make it, but you'll be okay.

Shadow Lucario:I can't *sob*. You mean so much *hic* to me.

Lopunny:Listen.....Lucario, I have to tell you something....

Her voice was heavy, and her body was shaking. Her tone was serious. She knew this was the end. WE knew this was the end.

Lopunny:Not all humans are evil. There are some humans who would give their own life for their pokemon. When I was really little, my trainer cared for me like I was her own baby. These Scientists are evil. However, you must not judge all of humanity for their senseless actions. Please, promise me that you'll give humans another chance.

Shadow Lucario:I *sob* promise.......Lopunny.

She smiled. Even at the moments of her death, she smiled. I knew why:She knew that this would make me happier. Albeit the slightest bit.......

With that, she slowly moved her head towards my cheek, and gave me a kiss the same place she did so long ago. I kissed her, and watched as her eyes sparkled. She closed them as the kiss continued. I could see her crying blood.

With that, she fell to the ground, and her breathing stopped.

She was gone.........................Forever.

Scientist A:Well, It seems that you accidently killed her. Oh well. Get ready for your next opponent.

Words could not describe the sadness and self loathing I just felt. Now, words could not describe the hatred and anger I now feel.

I looked over at the calloused scientist, behind a bulletproof blastsheild. I looked back at Lopunny's corpse. I would avenge her. I would avenge her, all my friends, and every Pok'emon who these madman Scientists twisted into weapons of war! My aura had turned a bloody red. My Emotions raged. This power felt greater than my anger. I then realized that was what it was.

Behind me, a Charizard came onto the battlefield. I didn't care. I did however, notice, the abnormal black color and superior power level. That didn't concern me. I wasn't going to fight it anyway.

Using my speed and agility, I charged at the blast sheild with Blaze Kick.....

It shattered, and while no glass hit the Scientist, he was scared.

Scientist A:What are you doing?

Shadow Lucario:I'm killing you now! For my friends! For Lopunny!.

Scientist A: You....You can't do this!!!!!!!! I created You!

He reached for my Pokeball. I grabbed it from him and crushed it. A beeping noise came from his pocket. He pulled out a black compact device. He looked even worse than before as his face turned pale.

Scientist A:No! It can't be Hyper Mode! We left that out of the programming! You don't even have the right conditions.

I ingored him and Blaze Kicked him into the wall, and blood came out instantly. I immediatly threw an aura sphere at the other scientist, killing him (and crushing Charizard's Pokeball) instantly. Charizard knew he was freed and rampaged off.

It then used Shadow Rush, which did severely more damage, over and over to destroy the entire base. Scientist fleds, and some brought whatever they could carry.At one point, I found a device that told my location. I took it just in case. I finished by charging up Razor Wind, and leveling the base.

I looked away from the smoking ruin. In my eyes was a moonlit desert that stretched for miles. I turned around as I felt dozens of auras leaving the ruin. I didn't know if any were my friends who survived. I did see a few Scientists running through the wreckage. Maybe my friends were spared. As for Lopunny.........

It was a fitting grave for a wonderful friend.

I looked at the device I stole. It showed two regions on each side of the base. One was marked "Orre" and the other was marked "Delta" I checked the Orre Region. It was mostly desert and colonization. I decided to check Delta. It looked beautiful, and greatly biodiverse. I would head there.

Then I sensed a Powerful aura fly toward me from the wreckage. It was the Shadow Charizard. He wanted to fight me. He was oddly colored, and was sparkling.

Shadow Lucario:No Charizard. I won't fight you. Everyone is dead now. Be free. Go, enjoy life. You deserve to be free. Go back to your home. Do as you please.

He understood. With a mighty roar, he let to the skies and flew off. I watched as he flew until I couldn't see or sense him. Before I left, I saw a rock. It looked like a rabbit's ear. I decided to keep it.

I ran in the direction of this "Delta Region". It took me three nights, but only because I hid during the day.

Months passed, my location changed. I would bring up one night however. I was at a place called "Treasure Town". It was a beautiful town next to a large river, the other side being next to rugged terrain. I decided to stay a few weeks. Something happened.

I was on top of a roof when I sensed an entity. I looked at a window, and saw a young human woman with red hair and purple eyes look up at me. She gasped, putting her hands over her mouth to muffle a scream. I used my agility to escape. I hid, and heard this.

???:Rui! Are you okay.

Rui:Yeah...I'm okay Wes. But, I fought I saw another Shadow Pokemon. But Cipher is gone..... I don't know If I was seeing things or not.

Wes:I'll contact the people at the Pokemon HQ in Orre. I want to make sure Cipher dosen't rise again.

Rui:Wait. I think this one was Wild. It seemed so sad to......

Wes:I think I'll go looking for It.

Rui:Please be careful.

Wes:I have been. That is why I didn't get rid of the Snag Machine......

I left after that. I wondered Delta to this day. Avoiding Trainers, contact in general.... I would never became a captive Pokemon again. I would never forget my friends. I would never forget Lopunny.....

I still don't know if my Friends made it out alive. I not sure whether to hope for it or not either. Noone deserves such a terrible fate. To this day, I reamain a Shadow Pokemon, and I still carry the device I stole and the Rock shaped like a rabbits ear.

But, I have the feeling that some Scientists survived. And that they might be trying there plans again. However, If they do.

I will do everything I can to stop them.

The End...?
