Closed Pokemon: A Shadowy Past

((*posts profile for reference*

Name: Katherine
Age: 15
Status: Hero
Pokemon: Shadow Marowak(M) Lv.30 Shadow Panic-Shadow End
Personality: Katherine is a solitary person, but she loves and cares for her Marowak. She wants to get revenge on the people who Shadow infused Marowak.
History: She has had Marowak ever since she could remember. When she was 12, she and her Cubone were abducted by Team Midnight. They had done a Shadow Infusion on her Cubone, causing him to evolve. Her Marowak began attacking the scientists, allowing them to escape.
Appearance: Long, dark brown hair, brown eyes, a purple long-sleeve, jeans, and tan boots.
))

"Marowak?" called Katherine. Where could he have gone? I'm not even familiar with this part of Orre... "... Maro..." Wait! That sounds like Marowak! "Maro! Waaak!!" He sounds in pain! What's happened to him?! This is so fustrating...! "Hey! Marowak, wh-what happened?!" Katherine was practically shouting now. Something had caught Marowak's attention, causing him to run off. Now he was lying there in pain. And Katherine could hear people coming.

((Yay! One's here! *flat voice*One left*sound of shotgun cocking*))

"Well, here we are. Pyrite Town. You two can explore, while I get the room." I said and walked inside the hotel. I bought the room. "Room 17 eh? Well I better go round up the others."
 
((I remember that battle. Haha Mia pwned that Shedinja-thing then :D))

Mia gulped, recalling Sheila for safety. She didn't much like the city, so it made her nervous to have to go there. But at least they'd be getting a room to stay in.
 
Kou slowly walked out of the desert. She was heading to Pyrite Town for supplies. It was a particularly hot day, although night was rapidly approaching. She thought that she should stay there, as by the time she'd be done it would be too cold to make it the whole way home. She walked toward the Poké Mart. She opened the door and a bell rang out.The place was mostly empty, trainers didn't come here often and most of the residents were back home. She gathered up all she needed. She shelled out her money and head for the grocery store. Still, not many people, but there were a few going around. She grabbed some stuff for herself and shelled out more money. As she walked out of the store and looked at the sky, she knew that she would definitely not make it home, so she went towards the hotel. Going in there she saw a person. She wasn't sure if the person was like her or not. "Hey," she said to the person in a voice not used often, "You getting a room too?"
 
Violet was holding her Ralts, Diana. Her Pokemon liked her, (At least she hoped) but they seemed to be surrounded in an extremely faint, purple fog like her own. She sighed, hugging the tiny Pokemon and trying to ignore the people in the town. She started back to the hotel. A girl was standing there, talking to Blade. She sort of reminded Violet of a Vulpix.
 
((Ya I barely lived that battle. Too bad this thread died then. Aren't we in the same room too this time?
Yes
Shut up.
Why?
Shut up, or you're going back in the box.
...
Good.))
"Yes." I said to a person who spoke to me from behind. I slowly turned around to see who had said it. I thought,"Hmmm... doesn't look Midnight. What do you think Umbreon?" "Well why don't you ask your new friends since you have been ignoring me since noon anyways." "Come on, Umbreon! What do you think? I don't care if you ignore me for the rest of the night just tell me!" "Sure, looks safe, I guess." "Um, I'm Blade and you are?

"Um, hey," she relized that the person she was talking to was a guy, "I'm talking to you. Are you, or are you not getting a room?" She thought about what she said and cringed. "I'm sorry if I sound rude, I'm not used to talking to people."
 
((Holy crap! How did I miss all of this???))

Zacharius threw the potion on the floor. All of the grunts had gathered. It was his chance to get out of the headquarters. Get away from the damn evil team.

He ran through the hallways, and if he got tired, he flew. Soon he was completely outside of the building. He jumped for joy. He was out. At last. Free. He scared a few people on his way out, but he didn't care. He spread his wings and lifted himself into the air. He headed for Pyrite Town.

((You can tell I don't know where the headquarters are))
 
(Okay. Here goes nothing.))

I stood in an aleyway of Pyrite Town, hidden from view

Had there been any other place to hide, i'd go there.

But this is what was left for me: Hiding among the normal, keeping myself in the shadows, and bringing down team Midnight.

Hiding in the Shadows because only the Shadows would welcome me.

hiding in the Shadows because I belonged there.
 
((That's a pretty good start, Exo-Rakou.))

Blade replied with a nice "Oh, it's okay. My room appears to be room 17. I already have two people staying there with me, but I can manage one more, if you would like."
 
(OOC: CRAP! Sorry Flora, you've been waiting two pages because of me! I'll be gone 'til Sunday/Monday by the way.)
Vendetta was surprised by Serenity's question just as he was about to destroy some Grunts. Eager to get on with the pulverisation, he waved her off.
"Yes, go, go."
He turned once more to the three Grunts. He gestured to the two on the sides to step away, leaving the middle one standing.
"Go El Diablo!"
Vendetta's Tauros burst from its Pokéball, tail alight. The Grunt sent out his own Shadow Dustox.
"Dustox use Shadow Wave!"
DUstox beat its wings and sent a ripple of dark wind at El Diablo.
"Dodge and use Shadow Break, El Diablo."
El Diablo jumped swiftly out of the way before headbutting Dustox out of the sky. Unflinchingly, the Grunt sent out a Shadow Glameow.
"Glameow, use Shadow End."
Glameow glowed a darker purple and charged at El Diablo.
"El Diablo, leap in to the air and counter with your own Shadow End."
Just as Glameow was about to hit El Diablo, the Tauros leapt into the air. Doing a deft little flip, it reversed into a Shadow End which crushed Glameow into the ground.
"Very good Vendetta."
Vendetta turned in astonishment. It was one of the Admins who had voted him down. Enigma.
"Sir, what brings you to the Training Room, I would have assumed the Admin Dojo has sufficient equipment and punchbags."
Enigma nodded.
"Well yes, I'm here because of your 'punchbags' as you call them. One complained that you made him fight you 30 times in a row to level up your Absol. One level. So I figured, if you need a fight partner, I could help."
Vendetta bit back a retort.
"Of course Sir. But I may have tired out my Tauros, do you mind if I heal him?"
Enigma shook his head. Vendetta walked over to a machine and healed El Diablo.
Fight Partner indeed! He just wants to humiliate me in front of my troops.
Vendetta returned to Engima.
"6-on-6, Sir?"
Engima thought about it for a minute.
"Seems okay." he said, selecting a Pokéball from his belt. "Go, Machoke!"
The muscular Pokémon appeared from Enigma's ball.
"Go Fangs!"
Vendetta's Golbat hovered a few feet above the Training Room floor.
"Machoke, Shadow Break!"
"Fangs, Shadow Wave!"
Machoke leapt through the air but was knocked back easily by Fangs' Shadow Wave.
"Machoke, Shadow Mist!"
Machoke released a cloud of purple mist which obscured both combatants.
"Fangs, use Shadow Storm!"
The Golbat whipped up a tornado of purple energy which sucked up the Shadow Mist and tossed Machoke into the air. Machoke landed with a thud and a groan.
"Machoke, return!"
Engima selected another ball.
"I choose you, Luxray!"
Enigma's intimidating Pokémon leapt onto the field.
"Shadow Bolt!"
Before Vendetta could react, a bolt of lightning knocked Fangs out of the sky. Vendetta called Fangs back and selected his next Pokémon carefully. No time for the usual routine.
"Go Ravager! Shadow End!"
Vendetta's Gliscor burst out of his ball with amazing speed and sent Engima's Luxray into a far wall. Enigma called Luxray back and sent out his next Pokémon.
"Go, Weavile."
The Shadow Weavile was itching to battle.
"Shadow Chill!"
Weavile sent a blast of icy wind at Ravager. But Ravager was too fast and flew out of the way without even a command from Vendetta.
"Shadow End!"
Ravager knocked Weavile into the exact section of wall as he had Luxray. Engima called Weavile back too. Anger was starting to show on his face.
"Go! Magmortar!"
Magmortar was barely out of the ball when Ravager sent him flying into the wall.
"GO! Rotom!"
The tiny Pokémon flew from his Pokéball.
"Shadow Storm, Rotom."
The Shadow Storm flew from Rotom with vicious power and swatted Ravager aside like a fly.
"Return Ravager! Go, Arget!"
The proud and domineering Sceptile eyed Rotom warily.
"Arget, hold your ground!"
The Sceptile started hopping on its feet to keep nimble.
"Rotom use Shadow Bolt!"
The bolt of lightining headed straight for Arget.
"Dodge and use Shadow Wave Arget!"
Arget dodged and leapt into the air to hit Rotom with the attack but before she could...
"Rotom, use Shadow Storm!"
The blast of air sent Arget flying into the ceiling. Vendetta called her back.
"Go, Claws!"
The Absol leapt at Rotom instantly and blasted him with a Shadow Wave without even an order. However the Rotom simply dodged by hovering to the left.
"Rotom, Shadow Bolt!"
Claws had been to hasty and now Rotom's Bolt was perfectly place into Claws' chest.
"Claws, return!"
Damn that little ball of plasma is powerful...
"Go, El Diablo."
El Diablo landed steadily on the floor. Neither combatant moved, awaiting orders from the Trainers who were both waiting for the other to attack. Vendetta looked up curiously at something on the ceiling. Enigma followed his gaze.
"El Diablo, Shadow End!"
The Tauros charged and would have caught the Rotom totally unawares if Enigma hadn't reacted quickly.
"SHADOW BOLT!"
There was a flash and a bang and both Pokémon were sent flying backwards. Both Trainers called their Pokémon back and selected their final balls.
"Go, Metagross!"
Enigma's colossal Pokémon made the floor shake as it landed.
"Go, Ribbons!"
Vendetta's Chingling floated happily forward, having been beside Vendetta for the duration of the battle. Enigma laughed.
"A CHINGLING?"
Venetta smiled.
"Shadow Storm Ribbons."
Enigma watched in shock as his Metagorss was blown through not only the wall that all his Pokémon had been pumelling but several others. A Grunt, feeling the smart arse, shouted: "And the winner is Vendetta!"
Vendetta fixed Engima a dark smile and Enigma turned and walked out of the room just a little to fast.

Kou thought about it for a bit. Well... What do I have to lose? "Sure," she replied, "Anyway, my name's Kou."
 
Devon smiled slightly.
"I'm Devon. I'm one of the two people he mentioned. So, hi Kou."
Her Ralts recalled itself back into it's pokeball.
 
"Well, hi then, Devon. And thank you," Kou replied. She walked into the hallway of the hotel. "Room 17... Room 17..." she muttered to herself as she looked. Finding the right room, she used the key and walked in. It was an average room, two beds, a dresser, and a TV. She sat down on one of the beds. It had been almost 6 years since she sat on something even somewhat soft. It was better than what she remembered was at Midnight, though.
 
Zacharius walked into the Pyrite Town hotel. He had hidden his wings underneath a jacket he was wearing, and he was extremely uncomfortable because of it. The clerk stared at his blue skin.

"Could I have a room?" he asked. The clerk took out a key and gave it to him, still staring at Zacharius' skin.

"You're room #15," she said as if in a trance. Zacharius took the key and nodded to her, thanking her. On his way to his room he scared quite a few kids and got quite a few nasty looks from people. He didn't mind, he was finally out of Team Midnight! Then, for the first time he realized something.

Team Midnight was going to be looking for him.

Oh well, he thought, I'll deal with that later. On his way to his room, he saw a girl with dark black eyes and what appeared to be a Pikachu tail underneath her dress. He looked at her. Could she be another member of Team Midnight? If so, why is she here? "Hey!" he said, calling out to her.
