Now...I wrote this extremely short Oneshot for three reasons: 1: I see so few fics about Shedinja, one of my favorite Pokemon. 2: I was in a serious case of writers block and this helped me. 3:...I was bored. Plain and simple.
I wrote this in about half an hour (give or take a few minutes) so I'm not sure how well it turned out.
Hope you like!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
Alone...No Longer
The sound of cracking filled the usual quiet forest. Up in a nearby tree, a brown caccoon was nearing it's hatching time. Seconds later, a crack rang down the back of the cacoon, as a pair of almost invisible wings poked out, followed by the newly evolved form of Ninjask. Free, it fluttered around a few time, invisible to the naked eye, before flying off into the forest.
No longer of any use, the empty shell fell from the tree, drifting slowly to the ground. As it slowly drifted to the ground, an almost ominous wind seemed to flow through the branches of the tree.
Alone…
The word seemed to ring through the forest, not as a voice, but more as an echo of the past.
Alone…
The empty shell seemed to pulsate with an almost ghostly aura as it neared the ground.
I…can't…Alone…
The discarded shell started to shake, almost seeming alive.
I don't want to be alone!
Seconds before the shell hit the ground, a wave of dark energy suddenly shot from the hollowed shell, travelling in every direction. In an instant, something shot from the forest, heading straight towards what was calling it. In almost a split second, faster then you could blink, a ghostly hand reached out and grabbed the lifeless shell before it hit the ground.
"You don't have to be alone." what had saved the carcass was something you would see in you nightmares. It was just a dark being, made entirely out of a ghostly energy. It had no distinctive features, just having two piercing red eyes. It's huge, clawed hands gripped the shell in an almost violent grip.
I…just thrown away…hurt…
"Don't worry, nothing will hurt you ever again."
Alone…no longer…?
"If you side with me, you will never be alone again. This is what you want, yes?"
Me…alone no more…side…yes…
Even though the creature had no mouth, it almost seemed to be smiling.
"Good." Without another word, the spirit started to surround the hollowed shell, wrapping around it like a snake. On finding the huge hole in the back, the dark being plunged right into the empty body. As it burrowed itself in, the shell started to change.
A sound like bone cracking filled the air as a pair of square, brown wings grew out from the back. The whole shell shifted in shape, taking on a more animal appearance. As the eyes grew in the front, they almost seemed to flash a dark purple.
As the dark spirit finished filling every nook and cranny of the old shell, it pulsated once more before gently hovering a few feet off the ground. A silver halo was the last thing to change before the now imbodied shell let out an almost inaudible laughter.
"Things will be different now…" was all it said before it floated off into the forest, leaving a ghostly trail not far behind.
