PROLOGUE

The midnight air was still, as if nothing in the world was moving. Darkrai slowly moved about his cave. Watching and waiting for the design and model to be complete. This was his most powerful power yet. All to himself. He had inserted a strong dark force into it, and it was going to finally show everyone how they should fear him, and how he was going to be the most powerful Pokemon in all of the world. This was the perfect plan.

He looked over and saw the green glow, slowly fading. It was complete. He smirked and floated over to the green diamond shaped jewel, "This is perfect... it's complete." He picked it up and looked over the gem, it's power seeming to flow throughout him, just by the touch.

That was when a flowing rush of air slammed into the cave, and sent Darkrai into the wall, his pains hidden as he looked to see the head of Team Rocket, Giovanni, with a pokeball in his hand. "That gem is mine."

A battle broke loose, evil vs. evil. All for this... this strange gem.

Darkrai was slammed back into the stand that the gem rested upon, sending the gem flying into the wall, then down a dark, black hole. Gone. "What have you done?!" Darkrai shouted, "That gem! Thanks to you and all my hard work it's gone!" Darkrai shouted, "Once I retrieve that gem, I'll show you the pain you deserve for what you have done!"

Giovanni just smirked, "With that power, I'll be able to rule this pathetic world and get all the pokemon I desire!"

Now, it was a race to see who could find it first. But what if some pokemon accidently... stumbled upon it?

Shay's POV

I raced to change into my clothes. Man I was really late! I slipped my brown hair into a high and tight pony tail, my purple eyes darting around as my nerves were about to explode.

Downstairs, I heard my little brother, Russell, laughing, "This is too good!" My mother sighed, "Shay, dear, you've got an hour." "My clock says

I should've been there an hour ago!" I shouted. "Russell changed the time on the clock." She said, "Just calm down."

I looked at my little brother as I came down the stairs, glaring. Jeez, he could be nicer. I mean this is the day I become a pokemon trainer!

"Thanks, Russell." I walked over to the couch and sat down, kicking my feet up onto the table and grabbing the remote and turning on the TV, news channel of course. Maybe my cousin would be on again.

I found myself doze off on the couch, and awaken to my mother shaking me awake. "Honey, you're going to be late." She said. I trust my mother way more than I trust Russell. I grabbed my bag and raced outside and through the crowded streets of my town. Time to start my journey!

I ran into the lab, and on the table rested 3 pokeballs. One grass, one fire, and one water. Gah I was so excited I could hardly breath!

Professor Oak walked out, "Ah, Shay, I'm glad you made it on time." "Which Pokemon do I get?!" I asked, excited. "You're rushing ahead, dear." He said, "First, you need your pokedex." I took the pokedex and he talked to me about all the blah blah I've heard before.

I looked at the table and I already knew which Pokemon I wanted. I wanted the grass type. I didn't know why, but I loved grass type Pokemon.

"So which Pokemon would you-" Professor Oak began, only to have myself interrupt him, "Grass type!" He just chuckled and ruffled my hair, "Alright, calm down." He picked up one of the pokeballs and handed it to me, "Go ahead and see who your new companion is."

I threw open the pokeball, and there in front of me stood the 2 foot tall Pokemon companion, Snivy.

I thanked professor Oak and walked out of the lab with Snivy. Time to start the amazing adventure that awaited us.

Snivy's POV

Shay walked down a dirt path, slightly bouncing as she did. I sat on her shoulder, searching about. I didn't like this girl. She should know

Snivy's don't like to behave yet she chose me. It didn't make sense why she did, but at least I was feeling a little love that someone chose me.

I mean all I knew of while I was waiting for someone to pick me were that they all wanted Tepig or Oshawott. Man I really felt the love there, and please note the sarcasm.

As Shay walked, I noticed a faint green glow coming from the distance. From my curiosity genes, I jumped of Shay's shoulder and chased after it, ignoring her calls for me to come back. Heh, guess she'll catch me if she can.

I emerged into a clearing in the forest, and I was amazed to what I found there. A wall of blackness, as far as I could see, running evenly down the middle of the clearing, everything beyond it cloaked in its twisted darkness and stoney silence.

My curiosity took over once again and I slowly walked into the blackness, and noticed all the flora was completely black. No color at all, and myself had dialed down in color. Instead of my bright green colors, I was dull green. This was all too strange, though I continued forward, but a pain in my stomach told me as I continued, that I may regret this decision of continuing.

As I walked threw the colorless, dreary landscape of black flowers and plants, I finally saw something in color. It was glowing green a little ways away. As I approached whatever it was, I saw it was a sphere, full of swirling shades of deep, dark green, and black. Swimming in the orb, chasing each other in circles and other galaxial patterns such as that. Then, I edged forward and timidly put my finger on the orb, the swimming colors were suddenly gone, and replaced by an all encompassing black.

In shock, I took my finger away and took a step or two back. The orb went back to the green colors it had began with. What was this thing? I'd never seen anything like it before. I touched it again, and it went black once more. Everytime I tried it, the same outcomes would occur. Why was this here? Why was it doing this? Was this thing the reason this half of the forest was blacker than space? The last question remained it my mind, what does it do?

Then, I touched it another time, and finally something different happened, the orb suddenly jumped off the ground and latched onto me! My eyes widened as the orb shook a bit, and parts of it turned as black as night, outlining a bright green diamond shape. The black parts disappeared, leaving only this green diamond attached to me. I tried to take it off, but it was if it was like a piece of me! I got scared, so I ran back towards where Shay was as fast as I could.

I saw her and ran up to her, shaking slightly as this... thing wouldn't come off. "There you are! Why did you r-" She began, only to get cut short when she saw the thing on my chest. "What is that?" A small chain like thing was attached to it too, making it seem like it was a necklace. She knelt down in front of me and touched the gem, and it all went black, just like it had for me when I touched it. "Help me get this off!" I shouted, though all she could probably hear was 'Snivy Sniv!' or something like that.

The fact that people can't understand pokemon is utterly idiotic.

"What the heck is this?" She asked, taking her finger away and picking me up. Oh great she's holding me now. "I don't know what it is!" I thought to myself, "If I knew then it wouldn't be attached to me!"

I looked at the thing attached to my chest, I had utterly no idea what it was, but it gave me a bad feeling, a really bad feeling.
