Pokémech: Shadows
Chapter 1
The Beginning chapter
Time: 11:43 PM
Location: Mount Coronet
We are shadows, captured and changed by an evil force. We are infernal creatures, deadly weapons of flesh and metal. We are Pokémech.
The dark forest seemed devoid of life, save for the occasional call of a Hoothoot. A shadowy figure tore through the underbrush, branches clawing at his jackal-like face. There was a sudden, loud "BLAM!" and a bullet hissed past his ear. Without breaking stride, the figure turned and fired an orb of blue energy in the direction the shot had come from. A satisfying yell of pain signaled that the aura sphere had hit. The Lucario kept running until he reached the large dark shape of Mount Coronet. Then, he began to climb. The Lucario, Cobalt, climbed until he reached a ledge that had a bit of room and three bushes growing from the wall of the cliff. Only one had fruit on it.
"Great, wiki berries," Cobalt sighed, "Well, I guess they'll have to do for now."
The Lucario ignored the dry taste and focused on how good it felt to eat solid food again. He had not eaten anything since two weeks before he had escaped the Team Nebula whitecoats who had tortured him, starved him and experimented on him. As he swallowed the last berry, he realized he hadn't had a drink in days. Cobalt stood up, turned his face to the cliff, and started to climb again. Ten minutes later Cobalt hauled himself onto another ledge. Nearby was an apricorn tree. The Lucario picked one and broke it in half with a karate chop. After finishing the juice, Cobalt lay down and was asleep in seconds.

(Author's note: Team Nebula is a fusion of all the evil teams in Pokémon.)
