Pokémon Dark Shadows

My name is Jimmie. I'm 15 years old. This is the story of how a wimpy, fearful teenager like me became a strong, courageous hero. This journey was long, hard and very painful, but I managed to overcome any challenge. Because I had something not alot of people have.

Spirit.

Summer had just rolled around the corner. You know what that means; no school for a looooong time. Man, I loved summer! Me and my (ahem) ex-girlfriend (we were still friends) Alexis were just sitting around in my living room, watching TV. My parents were gone for the week and told me not to have anyone else over. So I had to make the most of it, right? Plus, they'd never know if someone else was in thier house anyways.

"So, Alexis...Anything you wanna do? Play somee video games or somethin'?" I asked, scratching the short, jet-black hair on my head. Alexis just shrugged. "Mmmm, I dunno. Maybe." Me and Alexis were both a bit...Geekish. If that's even a word. We both loved to play video games. "Let's see..." I muttered, getting up off the white leather couch and over to the bookshelf where I kept most of my games. "Hmm...Ah yes! How about some Naruto? Remember when I used to kick your butt at that?" I asked, grinning slyly over to Alexis.

"Yeah, you used to, but now I can beat you any time any day!" Alexis challenged. "Oh, is that a challenge?" I countered.

"Put the game in and find out." Alexis grinned. Like I said, I LOVED the summer!

Later that night (after Alexis totally pwned me at Naruto), well...More like midnight. I always stay up extremely late. Anyways, later that night, I had finally gone to bed. I always missed my parents when they were gone for long periods of time. I sighed and turned over. NIghttime always bored me, I don't know why. Probably because everything else was asleep in the small town that I live in.

This night in particular was strange, though. My body temperature was rising and lowering like crazy. AT one point, I felt like I was gonna spontainiously combust, I was so hot! Next I felt like I was gonna get frostbite I was so cold. Finally, I just went to sleep, thinking I Was coming down with something.

I wasn't.

In my dreams, I had a birds-eye view of this vast forest. Like, HUGE forest, with HUGE trees and a HUGE...Cathedral? Could it be some ancient building that has yet to be discovered? Why was I dreaming about this, anyways? Suddenly, I heard a huge roar as I was very quickly zoomed down to the forest floor.

'What the...?'

I looked around, trying to find the source of the roar when a huge shadow loomed over me. I turned around to find a huge, purple-ish black mass of gas staring right at me. Yeah. Saring. It had EYES! Yellow, freakish eyes that wanted to kill my soul. I nearly screamed.

That is untill a voice said something to me.

'This will be your fate. This will be your fate, unless you can gather the courage to face danger, be fearless.'

Fearless? Hah! I already AM fearless! That roar didn't help though. The creature roared once again, to which I cringed at.

'I-I can totally face this danger! I-I just need a w-weapon!' I stammered. Man, I was a wimp.

The mass roared a third time and lunged at me. I screamed and sheilded my face with my arm. Everything went white...

I Jolted awake, in my bed, and in a cold sweat. I Put a hand to my face, panting heavily. "That was...The most intense dream I've ever had." I said, falling back onto my pillow.

Why did I have the feeling my life was about to turn into some kind of fanfiction?
