The Darkness - Plot -

[Nishrocks]

A shadow chimchar stepped out from behind the Magmar.
<Let me take this one!> he said, before unleashing an ember.

[Nova // Bella]

Squirt dodged the attack but just bearly and sent another mudslap attack at the new opponet, folling closely behind it uncase it tryed to dodge it.

[Pigmeister]

ooc: Well, I STILL have no clue what's going on.

Except now, my CHARACTER has no clue what's going on either.O.o

By now, most of the pokemon were out, only a single growlithe remained. It yelped it's fear as the Shardakk approached ever closer, appearing as simply shadows in the earth. They shrouded the growlithe, and then he vanished. The Shardakk began their eternal march towards the group. Sander raised his hand, releasing a massive burst of energy, forcing the Shardakk back.

"The Starsung are dead. They've met the same fate as that Growlithe. Now, there's no-one that can stop the Shardakk. This planet is DEAD. Now RUN!" he snarled.

Sander didn't stir, instead, the Shardakk approached closer and closer. There was a bright white light, and the five of them suddenly appeared in a strange place, where the floor glimmered like a rainbow.

<Will you become my new Starsung Guardians?> asked strange and ethereal voice, Sander still unconscious, near death.

The Ho-oh nodded, then a light fell upon Benjin.

<Now, you have the starsung power to turn all Shardakk from their shadow forms to their physical forms...>
-
Sander reappeared on the left.
"You know about me, don't you, Ho-oh?"

Again the legendary bird nodded.

<You too must become Starsung, but you cannot fight. If you were to use your true power, you'd be more dangerous than the Shardakk... but you are also the wisest person that power could possibly be bestowed to. You will be my messenger,>

ooc|| Hope I'm not too late.

The boy appeared in a flash, his new Abra right beside him. Dyl looked around, a bit confused, but appearing to be indifferent, as usual. Even so, his surroundings worried him. It seemed as though he had ended up in the middle of some sort of epic battles.

^You didn't specify where you wanted to teleport to.^ Though the voice was monotone, the teen could have sworn that the Abra was mocking him.

"But-" Dylan stopped when he realized that he was the only one who could hear the voice of the Abra in his head. No need to appear any stranger to those around him.

^Anyways, this is what you wanted, isn't it?^

You know the answer to that. I think I shall call you PrettyPinkFlower, the boy thought back, that is what you wanted, right?

^You fail to be humorous. I was called Atlas back at the farm, and I intend to keep that name. Anyhow, you seem to have a bigger problem on your hands.^ Atlas moved for the first time, though just barely, motioning to the other pokemon and trainers involved in battle.

[Nishrocks]

Almost at that moment, the shadows began to creep up towards Atlas and Dyl. Just before they engulfed the two, Sander appeared. He had some sort of torch in his hand. He looked just like Nero, except for his sparkling eyes. He warded off the shadows.
<Run, trainer! Just run!>

He then turned around, and a pang of recognition fell across his face. He was about to teleport Dyl to the Ho-oh to explain what was going on, when another shadow fell across the ground, turning into a shadow flareon, which immediately struck at Atlas with an Ember attack.

--

Back on the Rainbow Plane, Ho-oh gave Oink the 101.

< Oink, you know the tribes of Route 3, do you not? These shadows are one of them. They will engulf the world in fire to extend their fire-lives. Will you become Starsung, and help me fight them to save the world? I used to be their god, but they turned against us. When the mountain exploded, they were set free. Oh, please, Oink, please help us.>

[Darkaan]

Darkaan thought he was going to crash again as Exzodus attempted to land, but no. Jai had taught his bird pokemon well.

He heard the explosion from Mt Inferno and decided to check out what was happening. He had no idea what was going on but just tried to observe what was going on.

Exzodus started to groom himself

[Nishrocks]

Suddenly, the shadows began to creep towards Darkaan, and the fain silhouettes of pokemon could be seen in them.

-

The Chimchar was hit by the mudslap, but because the mudkip was so close, he hit easily with a Fury Attack, clawing at the pokemon in fury. Meanwhile, a shadow charmander had begun to attack Banjin's spheal. It used it's Sand-Attack, hoping to strike the seal pokemon. More pokemon were creeping around them, approaching the trainers from the back. If something wasn't done, they'd swallow up Banjin, Nova, Dyl and Darkaan!

[/center]

[Nova // Bella]

Nova looked around "This is insane!" she growled, Squirt was far from fainting but Nova was still worryed about him. "use a watergun...followed by another mudslap" Nova called to him. The little water pokemon smiled at Nova, showing her he was fine then turned to the Chimchar with another attack.

[Nishrocks]

Suddenly, a shadow grabbed Nova, and began reaching up her, starting at her legs and creeping, soon shrouding her lower body in shadow. Against her skin, the soft padding of claws could be felt.

[/center]

[Nova // Bella]

this sent shivers down her spine, a scream rang out and Nova jumped at the sound of it, realizing it was her own she looked down at the shadow and tried to shake it off. "help! get it off me!" she cryed.

[Nishrocks]

It began to pull her in, and Nova found herself being drawn into the ground. Is this what the Shardakk did to that Growlithe? Her feet felt like they were walking on air, and a strange heat seemed to fall upon them

[Nova // Bella]

Blaze trambeled over what ever part of the shadow was on the ground. "Stop!" she pleaded. trying to kick her way from the grip of the Shardakk. she didn't think it would work but she had to try right?

[Nishrocks]

The second blaze touched the shadow, they shrank back. A shadow ponyta popped out.
<You...you're like... me?>

[/center]

[Nova // Bella]

Blaze looked at the ponyta, it looked just like he did. <yes,I'm like you but also differnt. i dont hurt innocent people...> Blaze spoke kindly but there was a scence of athoridy in his voise, Nova wrapped her arms around Blazes neck in a hug "thank-you." Blaze just nuzzeled his trainer, keeping his eyes on the shadow pokemon.

[Nishrocks]

<Oh yeah? Are we really that different?> came the voice of the Ponyta, before a fire spin engulfed Blaze. After it cleared, it was impossible to tell which Blaze was Blaze!

[/center]

[Nova // Bella]

Nova jumped away from the flames and blinked when she saw two Blazes' "ummm" she looked at both of the ponytas <I'm the real one! right here!> Blaze called out to his owner. he trotted over to her <see its me, you can tell right?>

[Nishrocks]

<I'm the real one! right here!> called out the ponyta. He trotted over to her, <see, it's me, you can tell, right?>
Uh-oh.

[/center]

[Nova // Bella]

Nova started to bite her nails,a nasty habbit, she looked back and forth at the two pokemon "ummmm" Blaze looked at the shadow ponyta <hey! stop that!> he growled <shes my trainer!> Nova picked up Bazes pokeball...would it work? she thought out the plan in her head while the two bickered.

[Nishrocks]

<Oh good, you're returning me,> said the Ponyta, jumping towards the pokeball. <Quickly before that other ponyta tries to catch himself!>

[/center]

[Nova // Bella]

Nova pulled the poke'ball back, she still wasn't sure if the plan would work. she let the pokemon jump past her. "why are trying to confuse me!" she said looking at both of them. she smiled ok, i have a question only thereal blaze can answer.. "where did i catch you? and what level were you at " Blaze smiled and Glared at the ponyta <yeah, why dont you answer her?> he said getting a little annoyed with the copycat.

[Pigmeister]

ooc: I sort of get it now...O.o

bic: Oink carefully examined her fingernails. "Sure." she said. "But will I be affected in my other form?"

[PBK]

Right. Run. That was great news to get now, now that they were surrounded by the shadow pokemon. Of course, Dylan could always just teleport away, be gone just as quickly as he had appeared. There was a decent chance that the Abra was powerful enough to teleport the rest of them away too. ^I am,^ the voice reassured from within his head. But for some reason, Dyl had no desire to leave the place. Whether this was because of his actual interest in serving Kantex or because he needed the drama or simply because he was too lazy and indifferent to do otherwise, it would be hard to say.

The Abra was hit with the Flareon's ember attack, and quickly teleported to what he perceived to be a safe place- on top of Dyl's head. Just great. ^You're even easier to read from here,^ the pokemon announced happily into his trainer's mind. Well, that was just dandy.

A flash of red light signaled the entrance of a very different character. Kitty had somehow managed to hear the commotion from her pokeball, and the Glameow now stood firmly on the ground, claws already out, ready to fight anything that might hurt her Dylly-poo. The first and most obvious target would be Atlas, a pokemon she had yet to be accquainted with. The Glameow glared at the Abra before launching herself towards him, claws outstretched. She sailed straight over her trainer's head when her target disappeared.

<Poor kitty,> the Abra said, greatly amused.

This annoyed the Glameow. She proceeded to chase the Abra around, but each time, Atlas disappeared.

"Um, guys, the shadows," Dyl said.

Kitty suddenly seemed to notice her surroundings. She jumped on the nearest shadow, claws outstretched. Perhaps not the smartest thing to do, but Kitty wasn't exactly known for her intellect.

Atlas attempted to get in tune with the shadow pokemons' minds. He was looking for any sort of weakness there might be within them.

[Darkaan]

Darkaan watched the scene unfold before him. He seemed a bit slow to catch on. He stared at the two ponyta. He withdrew Mortochi, his larvitar and also his mantine- Tek, magmar- Marco and electabuzz- Thundigar.

"What in blazes is happening here?" He finally asked, not wanting to be confused anymore.

[PBK]

"Heck if I know," Dylan said in response to Darkaan's question. A pause. The teen froze up in this moment of recognition. He turned towards Darkaan. "Darkaan?" He wondered if the other teen remembered him. There were about a thousand things that he wanted to ask him, but Dylan had lost his number when he got a new pokegear.

He walked a bit closer before asking, "Do you know anything about what happened to Jai?" The kid, Mino, Miro, Miko, or something had told him that Darkaan might know something.
