Closed Pokemon: A Shadowy Past

Welcome to Orre! If you're lucky, you may find a wild Pokemon or two, because wild Pokemon are returning to this once-desert region.

But all is not peaceful in this land.

Remember the Shadow Pokemon of five years ago? Well, not only have they returned but they've got a few...more interesting...allies on their side.

Introducing...
...the one, the only...
...Shadow Trainers!

These human/Shadow Pokemon hybrids have one purpose, and one purpose only: to assist their creators, Team Midnight, in taking over Orre. However, some of the Trainers have rebelled, preferring to protect the peaceful region.

Other humans have either found out by mistake or have been told, choosing to help the rebels, or hunting them down. Only one question remains:

Which side will you be on?

1. Type at least 3 sentences, but don't go overboard.
2. Respect others! I would prefer that there be no OOC fighting.
3. I may add rules if I feel like one is necessary.
4. This roleplay is based on Colosseum and Gale of Darkness. If a Shadow Pokemon has been featured in XD, please use the corresponding moves. Otherwise...use ones to a close type. (Like...if I had a Shadow Starly, I could look at the Shadow attacks for Swellow.) A list of those moves may be found here.

5. HAVE FUN!

Acceptified!

Acceptified?!?

Yes, acceptifi-TAM?!? You're not supposed to be here! Aren't you terrorizing people in Phenac on Gaia?

Who cares? Sam is here, too.

HI!

..Good Lord. Don't kill each other, you too!

Good idea!

Oh, God.

(They're twins that hate each other on Gaia.)
 
I'M BAAAACK. Hope you don't mind that I've spiffed Mia up a bit. :D

Name: Mia Smith
Age: 14
Status: Hero/Shadow Trainer
Pokemon: Sheila, a Lv. 25 Ninetales
Personality: Dark and angry. She's broody and she WILL snap at you if you get on her nerves. Subject to bouts of depression due to her shadowfication. There is also a... murderous side to her, that will only reveal itself under certain circumstances.
History: Her parents had gone out one day months ago and they'd promised her they'd be back, despite her feelings of foreboding. Reports of people being mysteriously murdered or disappearing without a trace had been going around, and Mia didn't want her parents ending up like that. She tried to stop them, she really did, but they left anyway.

They never returned.

Now alone, Mia had to earn for herself, surviving solely on the earnings she'd recieved as prize money from trainers. Most of the time she could barely squeeze out enough to feed even herself, but somehow she also managed to feed Sheila. Their home was taken from them, and they ended up on the streets.

That's when Midnight started after them. After a fierce battle, she managed to escape once. Desperate to keep Sheila safe, she hid the Pokeball in the middle of the desert, where few would be able to find it. Promising the Ninetales she'd be back for her, she returned to the city.

She was captured the very next day. She can't remember much of the experiments, only that somehow she'd been fused with Gardevoir DNA and her appearance (detailed later in this form) had changed drastically. And the pain. The horrible pain.

The next thing she remembers is is waking up in the office of a Midnight Executive/Admin. The grunts surrounding her had told the person (she had not been able to distinguish a gender, but she assumed they were female by the voice) that they had found no Pokemon on her. Then they tried to offer her Shadow Pokemon as a replacement. When she refused to take a Pokemon that had suffered the same as her, they took drastic measures and threatened her life.

That's when she snapped, brutally murdering most in said office and severely wounding the rest. No one saw her escape to the desert where she resides now, in a hidden cave. The same cave where she hid Sheila.

Now they keep their existence mostly hidden, except going into the nearest town - Pyrite, to buy food, water and other necessities. She will also sometimes steal small items like candles to light her cave with. But one thing remains the same. To this day, she swears revenge on Midnight and all subordinates for doing this to her. She swears that one day she will find out what happened to her parents. She swears she will murder Midnight.
Appearance: In a nutshell, rather Gardevoir-ish. Green hair, pale skin (not TOO pale for a human though) and red eyes. She wears a lime green T-shirt and torn up black jeans. However, this will change if she gets purified, if it's possible.
 
Name: Neon Eleksha
Pokemon Species: Shadow Luxio
Level: 27
Moves: Shadow Rush, Charge, Spark, Bite
Personality: Like all shadow; no feelings, and only obeys her master.
History: She can't remember anything from her past life from when she was a normal Luxio. She just woke up someday as a shadow pokèmon. She now wanders Orre, searching for the meaning of her life and tries to de-shadowifie herself.
Appearance: The Black is Purple and the Blue is white. The yellow stuff is still yellow, and her eyes are red.

And, oh no, I don't want it to blood rain T.T I got a new t-shirt this monday *Gets Umbrella*

Gimme that Umbrella! I don't want blood on my T-Shirt either T.T

Anti-Bakuphoon what are you doing here?

Doing... stuff. And annoying you >:D

I thought you only existed in the Cafè of Doom!

You know nothing of me... Mwahahahaha *CoughCough*

One question though: Can Shadow pokèmon be catched?

Of course they can.

Shut up. Did'nt ask for your opinion <.<
 
Acceptified.

And yes.

Also also, Shadow Trainers can be purified by the Relic Stone or stepping in a Purification Chamber. (As if a loyal one would do that.)
 
Name: Alison Woodwind
Age: 11
Status: Midnight Member
Pokemon:
Jolteon; Clover; 33
Shadow Altaria; Cirria; 37; Shadow Break, Shadow Mist,
Flareon; Moon; 27
Personality: She's quiet and quite selfish, though also mature. She overthinks simple things and forgets important information, often needing someone to help her with it. Alison is dependant on others and usually spends time with the shadow trainers simply because they obey her. She likes being in control unless confused or unsure.
History: Alison was the daughter of a commander who died of sickness. A few members decided to train her into being a member. She does minor missions, though her skills are gradually improving.
Appearance: Alison is 4'4 and has light skin. She has jet black hair tied into two pigtails that reach her shoulders with light blue ribbons. Her eyes are light brown. She paints her nails cobalt blue. She mainly wears a white long-sleeved shirt with a grey t-shirt on top, along with a thin pink scarf and a long black skirt.

Name: Kou
Age: 16
Status: Shadow Trainer/Hero
Pokémon: Vulpix Lv 20 Moves: Shadow Hold, Shadow Wave; Ralts Lv 17 Moves: Shadow Hold, Shadow Wave
Personality: The only four emotions Kou seems to show are happiness, anger, sadness, and indifference. It's very obvious that she's a good person, but she seems to doubt it. She also hates the very word "Midnight".
History: Being found as a baby, she has been a Show Trainer for most of her life. In fact, no one is sure if she wasn't just made in Midnight's lab. When she was ten and given her two Shadow Pokémon, she ran away. Everyone thought she was very obedient, but she listened to every plan and hated them. She only gained her extra tree emotions from years away from Midnight. She hopes that helping the rebels will not only defect Midnight, but cure her as well.
Appearance: Short, messy orange hair and eyes that are completely black, minus the shine. She wears an old orange dress she made herself and walks around barefoot. Her feet are tough after years of walking in the hot Orre desert. She has a female Raichu's tail, but she tends to hide it under her dress.
 
Understood-ified.

Same would've happened to me if it weren't for Teh Caverns of Murkrowness. ^^
